Mining Projects

Much has been written about mining projects and the contestation of these project development in the literature. The different perspectives that are employed to analyze this issue to some extent are enriching the academic debates but at the same time also increases the difficulty of understanding the problem. As a result, navigating the overall academic discussion in the subject matter is not an easy task. Instead of outlining the overall landscape of mining contestation in the literature, choosing a particular approach and being consistent with this choice is a strategic decision that may result in a high-quality academic work. Following this recipe, Ardianto chose the constructivist approach by employing Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis to understand the mining project contestation in Rembang, Central Java, Indonesia. This paper aims to review a book by Ardianto, entitled "Mitos Tambang untuk Kesejahteraan: Pertarungan Wacana Kesejahteraan dalam Kebijakan Pertambangan" (The Myth of Mining for Welfare: The Welfare Discourses Struggle in Mining Policy).

Abstract The article offers a practical approach to the skills a present-day translator needs in order to create high-quality translations. Although a lot of theories can be found regarding the skills of a translator, it is worth checking the reality, which is the primary aim of this article. After a short introduction about the standard skills, we look into the subtitling of an episode from a TV series. Our presupposition is that a subtitler has to combine all sorts of information from different fields effectively in order to maintain quality, including general and specific knowledge of the subject matter. Furthermore, the particular environment of subtitling may contain certain pitfalls, such as the technical know-how. layout, and constraints deriving from the nature of subtitling. We can draw the conclusion that a well-prepared translator can successfully handle the technical challenges of multimedia translation of whatsoever type.

The author's review of the book The Estonian Straits: Exceptions to the Strait Regime of Innocent or Transit Passage (Leiden, 2018, 306 pages), by Alexander Lott, highlights the major achievements represented by this scholarly work. The review presents the main subjects discussed in the book, which is based on a doctoral dissertation defended at the University of Tartu in early 2017. Having thus walked the reader through the subject matter of this new addition to Brill Nijhoff’s series International Straits of the World, the author concludes that the book, based as it is on an in-depth analysis of primarily Estonian archives alongside more recent parliamentary and governmental documents of this country, is not only timely but at the same time also a most enriching contribution to the literature on the issue of international straits.

This article is a book review of Jean Jacques du Plessis, James McConvill and Mirko Bagaric Principles of Contemporary Corporate Governance (Cambridge University Press, Melbourne, 2005) (395 + xxii pages). Broader theoretical and policy approaches were being taken in relation to corporate governance regulation. This meant that there was a growing need for a framework of principles within which students and scholars can approach the subject, and policymakers and interested parties can operate. The authors of the book aim to extract and evaluate such core principles. Brown argues that the title of the book both understates and overstates what it does. The book does contain principles of corporate governance, but Brown doubts whether the subject matter was demystified and fails to explore certain hot topic issues. However, the book also discusses regulation and practice of corporate governance and is imbued throughout with the authors' views as to the scope and future of corporate governance regulation. Brown ultimately concludes that the book is a welcome and timely resource in terms of coverage and detail.

This article is a book review of Duncan Webb and David Rowe (eds) Insurance Law: Practice, Policy & Principles (The Centre for Commercial and Corporate Law Inc, Christchurch, 2004) (227 + x pages). The book is a collection of essays covering a broad range of topical insurance law issues. Holmes argues that the collection shows some aspects of insurance cases are solved by the application of principles that are unique to insurance contracts, and are often quite different to the principles applied to contracts in general. Given the diversity of the subject matter, Holmes laments the fact that there is no editorial introduction to insurance law found in this issue of the Law Review. It is concluded that the book will be relevant to a broad audience on differing levels and will be a valuable tool for practitioners, academics and students alike.

In the first part, composed of 12 chapters, the author presents the subject and raises some important questions that will be answered in the following chapters of the book.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
