Shared Leadership 2.0 - Natalia Lorinkova - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shared Leadership 2.0 - Natalia Lorinkova - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shared leadership entails a dynamic, interactive influence process among groups and teams. Whereas traditional models of leadership emphasize the importance of vertical leadership as a role occupied by an individual in a designated position, shared leadership emphasizes the importance of leadership as an unfolding social process, shifting the influence to the person with the most relevant knowledge, skills and abilities, juxtaposed against the emerging task related requirements. Research shows that shared leadership is a robust predictor of group, team and organizational outcomes across a variety of organizations, industries and cultural contexts. In fact, shared leadership is a better predictor of outcomes than vertical leadership. This Element provides a comprehensive review of the research on shared leadership, and points to promising directions for the future, in terms of both research and the practical application of shared leadership in action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Combatting the Code - Yee Fui Ng - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Combatting the Code - Yee Fui Ng - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Across the world, governments are grappling with the regulatory burden of managing their citizens'' daily lives. Driven by cost-cutting and efficiency goals, they have turned to artificial intelligence and automation to assist in high-volume decision-making. Yet the implementation of these technologies has caused significant harm and major scandals. Combatting the Code analyzes the judicial, political, managerial, and regulatory controls for automated government decision-making in three Western liberal democracies: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Yee-Fui Ng develops a technological governance framework of ex ante and ex post controls within an interlinking network of horizontal and vertical accountability mechanisms, which aims to prevent future disasters and safeguard vulnerable individuals subject to automated technologies. Ng provides recommendations for regulators and policymakers seeking to design automated governance systems that will promote higher standards of accountability, transparency, and fairness.

Arthropods of Tropical Forests - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Arthropods of Tropical Forests - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Arthropods are the most diverse group of organisms on our planet and the tropical rainforests represent the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. This book, written by 79 authors contributing to 35 chapters, aims to provide an overview of data collected during recent studies in Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America. The book focuses on the distribution of arthropods and their use of resources in the rainforest canopies, providing a basis for comparison between the forest ecosystems of the main biogeographical regions. Topics covered include the distribution of arthropods along vertical gradients and the relationship between the soil/litter habitat and the forest canopy. The temporal dynamics of arthropod communities, habitats and food selection are examined within and among tropical tree crowns, as are the effects of forest disturbance. This important book is a valuable addition to the literature used by community ecologists, conservation biologists entomologists, botanists and forestry experts.

Conflict Management in Kashmir - Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Conflict Management in Kashmir - Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The book examines the intersections of political violence, deprivation and conflict, and explores the prospects of its management by studying one of the world''s most complex political turmoils - Kashmir. It closely investigates the vertical aspect of the conflict, in which the Indian state and a section of Kashmiris are engaged in a turbulent relationship, and explores ways to stimulate conflict management. By employing the protracted social conflict theory, the author argues that a conflict between a state and a social group ensues when the political elite fail to address the non-material needs of the marginalized. By documenting narratives of the Kashmiri traders and the state officials, and the impact of the opening of the two intra-Kashmir trade routes during the 1990s, this book emphasizes the need to focus on peace initiatives taken by the government, and the significance of accommodation and engagement to address a state-people conflict.

World Literature and the Geographies of Resistance - Joel (university Of Miami) Nickels - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

World Literature and the Geographies of Resistance - Joel (university Of Miami) Nickels - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book proposes a new definition of world literature: an archive of democratic mechanisms external to state power. Accordingly, World Literature and the Geographies of Resistance takes shape as an exploration of nonstate space - territories of self-government that contest the vertical command structures of the state. Joel Nickels argues that literature devoted to these processes of spatial occuption can help us imagine democratic alternatives to state space and to the regime of legalized dispossession that goes under the name of globalization. Conceptualized in these terms, world literature can be viewed not as the corollary of 90s-era cosmopolitanism, but as a document of strategies for the militant reorganization of social space. This ambitious book addresses the work of Patrick Chamoiseau, Ousmane Sembene, Miguel Ángel Asturias, Claude McKay, Arundhati Roy, T. S. Eliot and Melvin Tolson. It engages with theories of transnationality, diaspora and postcoloniality, as well as world literature.

Social Capital in Developing Democracies - Leslie E. Anderson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Social Capital in Developing Democracies - Leslie E. Anderson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on extensive field work in Nicaragua and Argentina, as well as public opinion and elite data, Leslie E. Anderson''s Social Capital in Developing Democracies explores the contribution of social capital to the process of democratization and the limits of that contribution. Anderson finds that in Nicaragua, strong, positive, bridging social capital has enhanced democratization while in Argentina the legacy of Peronism has created bonding and non-democratic social capital that perpetually undermines the development of democracy. Faced with the reality of an anti-democratic form of social capital, Anderson suggests that Argentine democracy is developing on the basis of an alternative resource – institutional capital. Anderson concludes that social capital can and does enhance democracy under historical conditions that have created horizontal ties among citizens, but that social capital can also undermine democratization where historical conditions have created vertical ties with leaders and suspicion or non-cooperation among citizens.

Conquerors, Employers and Arbiters - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Conquerors, Employers and Arbiters - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Starting from a broad definition of labour relations as the full range of vertical and horizontal social relations under which work is performed, both within and outside the household, this volume examines the way states have shaped and interacted with labour relations in a wide range of periods and places, from the sixteenth-century silver mines of Potosí in the Andes to late twentieth-century Sweden, and from seventeenth-century Dzungharia to early twentieth-century colonial Mozambique. The articles presented look at very different types of states, from local and regional power holders to nation states and empires, and explore the activities of these states and their impact on labour relations in three roles, as conquerors, employers and arbiters. The volume finds diversity, but also a remarkable degree of similarity across space and time in the mechanisms deployed by states to extract and allocate the labour required to carry out their essential tasks.

How Brain Arousal Mechanisms Work - Donald Pfaff - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

How Brain Arousal Mechanisms Work - Donald Pfaff - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

What are the physical paths towards consciousness? How do humans transition out of deep anesthesia, deep sleep, or traumatic brain injury? This book presents a new argument that expands past theories centered on the cerebral cortex, and instead emphasizes the longitudinally-integrated brainstem systems that are essential to the mechanism of consciousness. The workings of these vertical pathways that ''wake up the brain'' are examined in neurobiological and molecular detail. Mirroring the evolution of this system from fish to humans, chapters in the book move from hindbrain to forebrain and from animal brain to human brain, developing the unified approach involved in the brain arousal mechanism. Considering consciousness through an array of neuronal structures, this book provides a new physical explanation of the phenomenon. Written for neurologists, neuroscientists, psychologists and psychiatrists, the book''s succinct and readable tone means it is also suitable for readers interested in the workings of the brain.

Feminismos en America Latina - Debora Rezende De Almeida - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Feminismos en America Latina - Debora Rezende De Almeida - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Este Element analiza las características de los movimientos feministas actuales en América Latina y sus respuestas a las reacciones conservadoras. Para ello, nos enfocamos específicamente en el movimiento proaborto frente al contramovimiento antiaborto en México y Brasil. Para analizar los efectos potenciales de los movimientos ofrecemos un enfoque relacional que abarca tanto la dinámica dentro del propio campo feminista, como entre el feminismo y el estado. En primer lugar, proponemos el concepto de redes feministas anidadas. Las redes anidadas comprenden tres dimensiones que revelan la pluralidad del movimiento a través de: cuestiones interseccionales y de identidad sexual (dimensión horizontal), de su relación con el estado multifacético (vertical) y de la intermediación de los partidos políticos y las instituciones participativas en esta relación (intermedia). En segundo lugar, argumentamos que las redes anidadas permiten a las feministas tanto habilitar políticas como bloquear acciones de los conservadores. En resumen, exploramos cómo las feministas, aprovechando su pluralidad interna y su conexión con el estado, pueden contrarrestar los ataques conservadores.
