Responsible Care - A Case Study is the first book of its kind to provide insight into the development and evolution of Responsible Care and its influence of societal outcomes on the basis of case studies. It provides readers in industry, government, and academia with the principles and innovative thinking associated with the Responsible Care ethic as a means to promote and implement such advanced concepts in their own institution.

Asia is known as a continent where human trafficking is particularly prevalent. Departing from the bulk of research on trafficking in Asia that focuses on illegal migration and prostitution, this article examines the embeddedness of human trafficking in legal temporary migration flows. This analysis uses survey and interview data to document the experiences of Vietnamese migrants who worked in East Asian countries. It identifies a continuum of trafficking, abuse, exploitation, and forced labor, and examines how exploitation begins at the recruitment stage with the creation of bonded labor. Guest-worker programs in destination countries put migrants in particularly precarious situations, which do, in some cases, qualify as trafficking. I argue that temporary migration programs may create the conditions that lead to extreme forms of exploitation among many legal migrant workers in the region.

This study proposes a new test of Maurice Pinard's theory on the rise of third parties applied to the case of the 1993 Canadian federal election. We assess the effect at the individual level of Pinard's factors (one-party dominance & grievances) on support for the Reform party & the Bloc Quebecois using data from the Canadian Election Study Logistic regression analyses of vote choice indicate that the extent to which the second major party was perceived to be electorally weak at the constituency level was a significant factor in leading some Western voters to support Reform. In Quebec, however, perceptions of predominance did not matter to a vote for the Bloc because the latter is a "radical" third party attracting support mostly on the basis of communal values & interests. The results further show that political grievances, but not economic ones, were a significant predictor of support for both third parties in that election. Tables, References.

This essay reviews the aggregate empirical data available to the study of election outcomes & of trends in popularity of the executive in France, & indicates sources to those data. In doing so, it also provides a review of the literature on vote & popularity functions in that country. We focus on three main empirical indicators in the essay. Measures of the two dependent variables, election outcomes & popularity of the President & Prime Minister, are first reviewed & discussed. Indicators for the main independent variable, namely the economy, are then presented. The concluding section discusses some new avenues that may be explored in future work on French vote & popularity functions. 1 Table, 31 References. Adapted from the source document.
