McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020) Jimcy McGirt, a citizen of the Seminole Nation, which is geographically situated within the state of Oklahoma, was convicted in 1997 in Oklahoma State Court of molesting, raping, and sodomizing a four-year-old girl. McGirt was found guilty and received a sentence of 1,000 years "plus life in prison." The crimes occurred within the Muskogee (Creek) Nation's historical territory, also located within Oklahoma boundaries. The Muskogee have inhabited these reserved lands since they were compelled in the early 1830s to sign removal treaties with the federal government and vacate their ancestral homes in the Southeastern United States.

Organizations, Strategic Risk Management and Resilience: The Impact of COVID-19 on Tourism aims to identify, analyse and underline the importance of having a conceptual framework designed to develop and improve the risk management and resilience for organizations, particularly during times of crisis. In the aftermath of COVID-19, it is of paramount importance to predict the trajectory of change in consumer behaviour to help managers identify the basis of a resilience strategy to ideally respond to the current situation. In particular, the book focuses on the analysis and description of the Italian tourism sector, giving a report on how the tourism sector reacted to COVID-19, underlining the importance to adopt a resilient approach relevant for evaluating the effective impact of the pandemic dynamics and to provide support tools for decision-makers to be prepared for the unexpected and to be able to follow a smart adaptation. The book shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics and reflective practitioners in the fields of strategic and risk management and the business of tourism.

This open access book provides a comprehensive analysis of the socioeconomic determinants of Covid-19. From the end of 2019 until presently, the world has been ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the cause of this is (obviously) a virus, the extent to which this virus spread, and therefore the number of infections and deaths, was largely determined by socio-economic factors. From this, it follows that the course of the pandemic varies greatly from one country to another. This observation applies both to countries' resilience to such a pandemic (which is mainly rooted in the period preceding the outbreak of the virus) and to the way in which countries have reacted to the virus (including the political choices on how to respond). Meanwhile, research has made it clear that the nature of this response (e.g., elimination policy, mitigation policy, and proceeding herd immunity) was, on the one hand, strongly determined by political and ideological factors and, on the other hand, was highly influential in the factors of success or failure in combating the pandemic. The book focuses on the situation in a number of Western regions (notably the USA, the UK, and the EU and its Member States). The author addresses the reasons why in many Western countries both pandemic prevention and response policies to Covid-19 have failed. The book concludes with recommendations concerning the rearrangement of the socio-economic order that could increase the resilience of (Western) societies against such pandemics

The Indian economy has undergone structural changes over time with variation in the share of agriculture in the GDP. The importance of agriculture has not diminished for two major reasons. First, the country achieved self-sufficiency in food production at the macro level but still has a food deficit. Second, the dependence of the rural workforce on agriculture for employment has not declined in proportion to the sectoral contribution to GDP. This paper is an attempt to describe the Green Revolution and Economic Reforms of 1991 as two major events that have brought about a change in Indian Agriculture and its contribution to the GDP. For this, the analysis section is divided into 4 major phases covering the after and before of these two events. It also presents various government reforms and measures that were implemented. Further, this paper also analyses the situation of Indian agriculture during COVID 19 and the new agriculture policy, 2020.

This is the first study of Israeli foreign policy towards the Middle East and selected world powers including China, India, the European Union and the United States since the end of the Cold War. It provides an integrated account of these foreign policy spheres and serves as an essential historical context for the domestic political scene during these pivotal decades. The book demonstrates how foreign policy is shaped by domestic factors, which are represented as three concentric circles of decision-makers, the security network and Israeli national identity. Told from this perspective, Amnon Aran highlights the contributions of the central individuals, societal actors, domestic institutions, and political parties that have informed and shaped Israeli foreign policy decisions, implementation, and outcomes. Aran demonstrates that Israel has pursued three foreign policy stances since the end of the Cold War - entrenchment, engagement and unilateralism - and explains why.

There is no uncertainty that the chroma currency is very popular for the transaction information stored in the block of blocks. To initiate the importance of blocking, there is only one distributed ledger in which data is stored, since many of the centers in the blockchain network limit enough records for these records. This document proposes a decision-making framework based on innovation to create a secure, unjustifiable, accurate and transparent framework for voter privacy. In addition, it is voted and declared in this context that the race has a short period of time, since it is automatically registered in the table. This framework also gives society confidence in its legislation when applying this technique. In this framework, an administrator can add a candidate and a voter to the block. In different hands, a voter can log into the framework and then decide in favor of a candidate that the details of the vote should be stored in the block. In addition, each square in the blockchain innovation that relates to the previous square contains the hash of the previous square, and each square contains explicit data based on the square footage. The hub is connected by a peer network in this framework, with all the hubs in the block site network that have a complete duplicate block.

As our country recovers from the financial impacts of COVID-19, ocean resources can play an essential role in economic rebuilding and sustainable growth. Canada's "blue economy" provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, often in communities with few other employment options. A healthy blue economy starts with healthy numbers of wild fish. Fish and fishing have always been the foundation of the ocean economy. Abundant oceans provide economic stability to communities and food for an increasingly hungry world. That means rebuilding fish populations is good for the environment and the economy. But Oceana Canada's annual audits show the state of Canada's fisheries continues to worsen. This marks yet another year of decline since the first Fishery Audit in 2017, despite new investments in science and management. Today, only a quarter of Canada's fish populations can confidently be considered healthy, and we're seeing troubling decreases in crustaceans such as shrimp and crab that drive so much of Canada's fishing revenues. We're also seeing declines in the small fish – such as capelin, herring and mackerel, that are prey for seabirds and whales, as well as so many commercially important fish, such as cod and tuna. There are many reasons for these unsustainable trends. Canada continues to overfish critically depleted stocks, many of which are now even more vulnerable as a result of climate change. Too many fisheries management decisions focus on avoiding difficult choices in the short term, causing even more hardship down the road. Meanwhile, efforts to help rebuild populations have stalled, with no new rebuilding plans released in 2020. We have seen some positive developments. Over the past four years, the federal government has restored fisheries science funding, improved the transparency of fisheries data, greatly increased the amount of marine habitat protected and introduced a national Fishery Monitoring Policy. The new Fisheries Act, which became law last year, also now requires depleted fish stocks to be rebuilt. ...

This paper provides a comprehensive analytical account of the major industrial policies in India since independence. It identifies three phases: 1948-1980, a period characterised by increasing state intervention; 1980-1991: a transitional period of gradual reforms; and 1991-2020: a period of extensive market-oriented reforms. Within each period, it reviews the major policy changes, and discusses possible reasons for their adoption. It also provides a brief account of industrial performance during each phase, and a more detailed review of how those policies have been evaluated by scholars from different perspectives. The discussion is supplemented by simple explanations for some economic theories and empirical methods that have been used in the literature. The review concludes with an eclectic perspective on the record of industrial policy, and some suggestions for the future.
