SSRN Built Environment eJournal

SSRN Built Environment eJournal.


We are pleased to announce the creation of Sustainability Research & Policy Network (SRPN). It will provide a worldwide, online community for research in all areas of sustainability and policy, following the model of other subject matter networks within SSRN.

We expect SRPN to become a comprehensive online resource for research in sustainability and policy, providing scholars with access to current work in their field and facilitating research and scholarship.

SRPN is sponsored by GSE Research, a new online publisher whose aim is to provide a valuable bridge between scholarly research and practice in the fields of governance, environment and sustainability. GSE offers a fast and friendly publication process and global dissemination of your work. Authors retain the right to publish later versions elsewhere if desired. SRPN's founding director is John Peters, CEO of GSE Research (john.peters@gseresearch.com) and is edited by Colin Fisher from Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, and Timothy M. Devinney from University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), Faculty of Business.

Initially, SRPN will begin with the following 25 Subject Matter eJournals, and subscriptions will be free during the start-up phase through September 2012. SRPN will also begin with two Research Paper Series - Center for Robust Decisionmaking on Climate & Energy Policy (RDCEP) Working Paper Series and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Discussion Paper Series - as noted below.

More than 100,000 women were raped in the 36 years of the Guatemalan genocide in which at least 200,000 people died.

In this video, photojournalists Ofelia de Pablo and Javier Zurita interview survivors and document the ongoing forensic and legal investigation that has just indicted former Guatemalan President Efraín Ríos Montt.

Feedback and Comments Submitted by Readers [Sarah Goode]

Someone recently advised me that a photograph included in a post was not a depiction of the woman indicated and that her grandmother was NOT an African America.  I would like to remind readers that all resource material for aritcles is posted and it is very rare that I personally write articles.  However, when I do, I am exceedingly mindful of the importance of referencing any material I may have read and included in a post.

The reader's comments should have been directed to the site that published the article since I have virtually NO CONTROL over the content posted by various sites.
