Identity, Trauma, Sensitive and Controversial Issues in the Teaching of History
History Education is a politically contested subject. It can be used to both promote xenophobia and to develop critical thinking, multiple perspectives, and tolerance. Accordingly, this book critically examines complex issues and constructivist approaches that make history relevant to students’ understanding of the modern world. As such, it has global appeal especially in North and South America, Canada, Europe and Asia. The book’s authors address the major challenges that History Education faces in an era of globalisation, digital revolution and international terror, nationalism and sectarian and religious conflict and warfare. Central to this volume are controversial issues, trauma, an...
Preventing Treaty Abuse
Analysis of notion, roots und measures of treaty abuse The OECD initiative on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting has put the issue of treaty abuse and the means to counter it on top of the global political agenda. Preventing treaty abuse is therefore currently one of the most debated topics in international tax law. Diverging national legal traditions in combatting abuse both under domestic and tax treaty law have led to a globally diversified legal framework in this respect and make the OECD’s agenda to harmonize these attempts even more challenging. The aim of this book is to analyze the notion of treaty abuse, its historical roots and the measures to counter it. The book’s topics cover ...

The structure of the volume reflects the necessity to approach access to treaty ben...
Au carrefour des contributions
Plus d'une trentaine de contributions produites par les plumes de près de quarante auteurs se retrouvent dans ces Mélanges. Elles ont toutes en commun d'avoir été écrites en pensant à Pascal Mollard. Le carrefour c'est lui. Les sujets sont très variés, puisque beaucoup traitent – évidemment – de la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée, mais d'autres des impôts directs, de la fiscalité internationale, des conventions de double imposition, d'autres aussi de la procédure fiscale. Ces contributions sont le fait de praticiennes et de praticiens de la fiscalité : qu'ils défendent les contribuables, qu'ils représentent les autorités fiscales ou qu'ils siègent dans une Cour fiscale, leurs contributions apportent une pierre à l'édifice de la fiscalité directe et indirecte en Suisse.
The Palgrave Handbook of History and Social Studies Education
This Handbook presents an international collection of essays examining history education past and present. Framing recent curriculum reforms in Canada and in the United States in light of a century-long debate between the relationship between theory and practice, this collection contextualizes the debate by exploring the evolution of history and social studies education within their state or national contexts. With contributions ranging from Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Republic of South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, chapters illuminate the ways in which curriculum theorists and academic researchers are working with curriculum developers and educators to translate and refine notions of historical thinking or inquiry as well as pedagogical practice.
Thinking about the Elgin Marbles
The new edition of this insightful work begins with a critical reexamination of the rival Greek and British claims to the Elgin Marbles. That case study identifies the questions that continue to dominate the growing international debate about cultural property policy and which are subsequently explored in a newly expanded array of essays. The work goes on to pay particular attention to the law and policy relating to cultural property export controls and the evolution and development of the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on the Return of Stolen and Illegally Exported Cultural Property. The second part of this highly regarded book addresses a number of contemporary art law issues in essays on counterfeit art, the moral rights of artists, the artist's resale right (droit de suite),the litigation over the Mark Rothko estate, and problems of museum trustee negligence, conflict of interests, and misuse of inside information.
