...ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS Assignment I – CIA 1- 2013 is the International Year of water cooperation. Discuss the socio-political significance of water cooperation in India. INTRODUCTION “Water is a key foundation, whose importance can hardly be overestimated. It is a common denominator of the leading global challenges of our time - energy, food, health, peace and security. Water management can reduce the risk of disasters, such as droughts and floods. With trans boundary river basins and aquifer systems representing almost half the earth's surface, water cooperation is vital for peace.” - Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General. The fulfillment of basic human needs, our environment, socio-economic development and poverty reduction are all heavily dependent on water. Good management of water is especially challenging due to some of its unique characteristics: it is unevenly distributed in time and space, the hydrological cycle is highly complex and perturbations have multiple effects. Rapid urbanization, pollution and climate change threaten the resource while demands for water are increasing in order to satisfy the needs of a growing world population, now at over seven billion people, for food production, energy, industrial and domestic uses. Water is a shared resource and its management needs to take into account a wide variety of conflicting interests. This provides opportunities for cooperation among users at all levels. Water, a vital resource unlike any other knows no borders...

...------------------------------------------------- Case Summary: In November of 2002 the City of Boston was awarded the upcoming 2004 Democratic National Convention. Because the DNC was to be the first “major” political event in the US since the terrorist attacks of 9/11 outside help was sought to insure the overall security of the event and its attendees. The Department of Homeland Security was asked to designate the 2004 DNC a “National Special Security Event” NSSE. The request was honored. With this designation in place the US Secret Service was called upon to devise and implement a comprehensive security plan. Secret Service Special Agent Scott Sheafe was chosen to take the lead in the role of “Coordinator of Security Arrangements for the Democratic National Convention”. In order to be successful at protecting the attendees of the upcoming DNC, agent Sheafe would ultimately need to rely on the cooperation of over 30 local, state and federal agencies. This was no small task but as a member of the Secret Service Agent Sheafe was singularly qualified for the task at hand. Due to his time spent on the “Presidential Protection Detail” Agent Scott Sheafe was familiar with the necessity of relying on multiple agencies from different governmental levels to ensure the safety of the president and the environments involved in his activities. Agent Sheafe’s experience led him to use inclusion, cooperation and “appeals to common goals” to gain the confidence of participating agencies and to foster a positive organizational...

As a single economic block, its combined nominal GDP of USD 2 trillion ranks ninth in the world. Although relatively small compared to China, Japan, and Korea, ASEAN comprises one of the most dynamic emerging economies of the world, with an average nominal GDP growth rate among the ASEAN-6 (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines) of 4.5% during 1989–2009, and poised to grow between 5.7% and 6.4% in 2011–2012. In contrast, the global economy is expected to grow by only 3.3% and 3.7% in 2011 and 2012. What Is the AEC? ASEAN was formed in 1967 under the "3 pillars" of regional cooperation, namely security, socio-cultural integration, and economic integration. In 1997, ASEAN leaders declared the ASEAN Vision 2020, which aimed to transform ASEAN into a "stable, prosperous and highly competitive region with equitable economic development, and reduced poverty and socioeconomic disparities." Building on this vision, at their 2007 Summit ASEAN leaders affirmed their strong commitment to accelerate the establishment of an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015. The AEC aims to make ASEAN a more dynamic and competitive economic block by making it a single market and production base by 2015 governed by the principles of an open, outward-looking, inclusive, and market-driven economy. As a single market and production base, the AEC...
