Money Logging by Lukas Straumann Pdf

Money Logging investigates what Gordon Brown has called "probably the biggest environmental crime of our times"--the massive destruction of the Borneo rainforest by Malaysian loggers. Historian and campaigner Lukas Straumann goes in search not only of the lost forests and the people who used to call them home, but also the network of criminals who have earned billions through illegal timber sales and corruption. Straumann singles out Abdul Taib Mahmud, current governor of the Malaysian state of Sarawak, as the kingpin of this Asian timber mafia. Taib's family--with the complicity of global financial institutions--have profited to the tune of 15 billion US dollars. Money Logging is a story of a people who have lost their ancient paradise to a wasteland of oil palm plantations, pollution, and corruption--and how they hope to take it back.

Globalisation and Governance in the Pacific Islands by Stewart Firth Pdf

"The Pacific Islands are feeling the effects of globalisation. Free trade in sugar and garments is threatening two of Fiji's key industries. At the same time other opportunities are emerging. Labour migration is growing in importance, and Pacific governments are calling for more access to Australia's labour market. Fiji has joined Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati as a remittance economy, with thousands of its citizens working overseas. Meantime, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands grapple with an older kind of globalisation in which overseas companies exploit mineral and forest resources. The Pacific Islands confront unique problems of governance in this era of globalisation. The modern, democratic state often fits awkwardly with traditional ways of doing politics in that part of the world. Just as often, politicians in the Pacific exploit tradition or invent it to serve modern political purposes. The contributors to this volume examine Pacific globalisation and governance from a wide range of perspectives. They come from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Hawai'i, the Federated States of Micronesia, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand and Jamaica as well as Australia."--Publisher's description.

"Wild Money" by Emily Harwell,Human Rights Watch (Organization) Pdf

"Indonesia has one of the world's largest remaining forest areas, with exports from its lucrative timber sector valued at US$6.6 billion in 2007, second only to Brazil and more than all African and Central American nations combined. But in recent years almost half of all Indonesian timber has been logged illegally, at a staggering cost to the Indonesian economy and public welfare. Between 2003 and 2006, the losses due to illegal logging, corruption, and mismanagement totaled nearly $2 billion annually. 'Wild Money' documents an often-overlooked toll of this destruction, the widespread spillover effects of forestry sector corruption on governance and human rights. The individuals responsible for the losses are rarely held accountable, in part because some officials in both law enforcement and the judiciary are also deeply corrupted by illegal logging interests. This impunity undermines respect for human rights. Indonesian citizens living closest to the forests have borne the brunt of unbridled forest destruction, and these communities remain locked in poverty without basic services. Funds that could be going to improve public welfare and meet Indonesia's obligations to realize its citizen's economic and social rights are instead being siphoned off to enrich a handful of individuals. In the province of West Kalimantan, funds lost to illegal logging and forest sector corruption in recent years have been some fifty times the annual provincial health budget. 'Wild Money' calls on Indonesian officials to reduce illegal logging by standing fully behind and strengthening the national Anti-Corruption Commission, better enforcing forestry, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws, and ensuring that funds desperately needed to improve services such as healthcare are collected and allocated for that purpose."--P.

Dark Money by Jane Mayer Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR Who are the immensely wealthy right-wing ideologues shaping the fate of America today? From the bestselling author of The Dark Side, an electrifying work of investigative journalism that uncovers the agenda of this powerful group. In her new preface, Jane Mayer discusses the results of the most recent election and Donald Trump's victory, and how, despite much discussion to the contrary, this was a huge victory for the billionaires who have been pouring money in the American political system. Why is America living in an age of profound and widening economic inequality? Why have even modest attempts to address climate change been defeated again and again? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? In a riveting and indelible feat of reporting, Jane Mayer illuminates the history of an elite cadre of plutocrats—headed by the Kochs, the Scaifes, the Olins, and the Bradleys—who have bankrolled a systematic plan to fundamentally alter the American political system. Mayer traces a byzantine trail of billions of dollars spent by the network, revealing a staggering conglomeration of think tanks, academic institutions, media groups, courthouses, and government allies that have fallen under their sphere of influence. Drawing from hundreds of exclusive interviews, as well as extensive scrutiny of public records, private papers, and court proceedings, Mayer provides vivid portraits of the secretive figures behind the new American oligarchy and a searing look at the carefully concealed agendas steering the nation. Dark Money is an essential book for anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.
