The Tactics of Resignation A Study in British Cabinet Government

The Tactics of Resignation A Study in British Cabinet Government

First Published in 1967 the Tactics of Resignation examines the principles of collective and individual ministerial responsibility and investigates the parallel problems related to the shadow cabinet in Britain. It raises pertinent questions like: why do so many hold their peace and support policies of which they privately disapprove? Loss of confidence in the House of Commons should involve individual resignation. How have so many ministers been able to hang on in the face of adverse criticism or apparent inefficiency? This book is a valuable addition to understand the difference between traditional principles and actual British government. It is an interesting read for students of British government and politics. | The Tactics of Resignation A Study in British Cabinet Government

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

This title was first published in 2001. After languishing for decades in the domains of rigid doctrinalism and confusing theory the conflict of laws is increasingly being recognized as an important area of law to a global community. To demonstrate its importance Michael Whincop and Mary Keyes transcend the divide between the English pragmatic tradition and the circularity of American policy-based theory. They argue that the law governing multistage conflicts can minimize the social costs of litigation increase the extent of co-ordination facilitate private ordering and limit regulatory monopolies and cross-border spillovers. Pragmatic in outlook and economic in methodology they pursue these themes across a broad range of doctrinal issues and offer valuable links to parallel analyses in domestic contexts. | Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence examines public and professional conceptions of the relationships between thinking about spatial attributes and active engagement in spatially related constructions and designs. Even though children’s and adolescents’ spatial propensities in constructive activities parallel the skills needed by professionals in both established and emerging fields spatial education is often missing from K–12 curricula and is easily impeded by teachers parents or other individuals who do not provide contexts in formalized settings such as schools to nurture its potential. This book bridges the gap by linking the natural spatial inclinations interests and proclivities of individuals from a variety of cultures with professional training and expertise in engineering architecture science and mathematics. Educators will be better able to achieve the skills and awareness necessary to provide children and young adults with the vital opportunities inherent in spatial education. | Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

The collapse of Souq Al-Manakh in Kuwait in August 1982 was the most spectacular financial crash of recent years. The market had developed as a parallel stock exchange dealing in the shares of Gulf companies not resident in Kuwait. Fuelled by manic speculation the market grew at a phenomenal rate throughout 1981 and early 1982. Inexperienced investors gambled huge sums on the shares of shell companies promoted largely for share speculation. At the height of the market US$92 billion was outstanding on nearly 30 000 postdated cheques the usual form of payment used in the market. The financial crisis created by the collapse of the Souq Al-Manakh threatened the stability of Kuwait. The government was forced to intervene and absorb the major part of the loss. This book first published in 1986 traces the growth of the stock market and analyses its collapse. It also discusses in detail the wider impact of this debacle on the economic life of the Gulf. | The Gulf Stock Exchange Crash The Rise and Fall of the Souq Al-Manakh

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters purveyors and consumers of domestic technology Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home. | Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

The New Humanitarians in International Practice Emerging actors and contested principles

The New Humanitarians in International Practice Emerging actors and contested principles

As humanitarian needs continue to grow rapidly humanitarian action has become more contested with new actors entering the field to address unmet needs but also challenging long-held principles and precepts. This volume provides detailed empirical comparisons between emerging and traditional humanitarian actors. It sheds light on why and how the emerging actors engage in humanitarian crises and how their activities are carried out and perceived in their transnational organizational environment. It develops and applies a conceptual framework that fosters research on humanitarian actors and the humanitarian principles. In particular it simultaneously refers to theories of organizational sociology and international relations to identify both the structural and the situational factors that influence the motivations aims and activities of these actors and their different levels of commitment to the traditional humanitarian principles. It thus elucidates the role of the humanitarian principles in promoting coherence and coordination in the crowded and diverse world of humanitarian action and discusses whether alternative principles and parallel humanitarian systems are in the making. This volume will be of great interest to postgraduate students and scholars in humanitarian studies globalization and transnationalism research organizational sociology international relations development studies and migration and diaspora studies as well as policy makers and practitioners engaged in humanitarian action development cooperation and migration issues. | The New Humanitarians in International Practice Emerging actors and contested principles

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Current estimates indicate that approximately 2. 2 million people are incarcerated in federal state and local correctional facilities across the United States. There are another 5 million under community correctional supervision. Many of these individuals fall into the classification of special needs or special populations (e. g. women juveniles substance abusers mentally ill aging chronically or terminally ill offenders). Medical care and treatment costs represent the largest portion of correctional budgets and estimates suggest that these costs will continue to rise. In the community probation and parole officers are responsible for helping special needs offenders find appropriate treatment resources. Therefore it is important to understand the needs of these special populations and how to effectively care for and address their individual concerns. The Routledge Handbook of Offenders with Special Needs is an in-depth examination of offenders with special needs such as those who are learning-challenged developmentally disabled and mentally ill as well as substance abusers sex offenders women juveniles and chronically and terminally ill offenders. Areas that previously have been unexamined (or examined in a limited way) are explored. For example this text carefully examines the treatment of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender offenders and racial and gender disparities in health care delivery as well as pregnancy and parenthood behind bars homelessness and the incarceration of veterans and immigrants. In addition the book presents legal and management issues related to the treatment and rehabilitation of special populations in prisons/jails and the community including police-citizen interactions diversion through specialty courts obstacles and challenges related to reentry and reintegration and the need for the development and implementation of evidence-based criminal justice policies and practices. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons penology criminal justice criminology and related areas of study and an essential resource for academics and practitioners working with offenders with special needs. | Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

A History of the Symphony The Grand Genre

A History of the Symphony The Grand Genre

A History of the Symphony: The Grand Genre identifies the underlying cultural factors that have shaped the symphony over the past three hundred years presenting a unified view of the entire history of the genre. The text goes beyond discussions of individual composers and the stylistic evolution of the genre to address what constitutes a symphony within each historical period describing how such works fit into the lives of composers and audiences of the time recognizing that they do not exist in a vacuum but rather as the products of numerous external forces spurring their creation. In three parts the text proceeds chronologically drawing connections between musical examples across regions and eras: The Classical Symphony The Romantic Symphony The Symphony in the Modern Era Within this broad chronology—from the earliest Italian symphonies of the 18th century to the most experimental works of the 20th century—discussion of the development of the genre often breaks down along national lines that outline divergent but parallel paths of stylistic growth. In consideration of what is and is not a symphony musical developments in other genres are presented as they relate to the symphony genres such as the serenade the tone poem and the concert overture. Suitable for a one-semester course as well as a full-year syllabus and with illustrative musical examples throughout A History of the Symphony places composers and works in sociological and musical contexts while confronting the fundamental question: What is a symphony? | A History of the Symphony The Grand Genre

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics: Marxism without Guarantees surveys the Amherst School of non-determinist Marxist political economy 40 years on: its core concepts intellectual origins diverse pathways and enduring tensions. The volume’s 30 original essays reflect the range of perspectives and projects that comprise the Amherst School—the interdisciplinary community of scholars that has enriched and extended while never ceasing to interrogate and recast the anti-economistic Marxism first formulated in the mid-1970s by Stephen Resnick Richard Wolff and their economics Ph. D. students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The title captures the defining ideas of the Amherst School: an open-system framework that presupposes the complexity and contingency of social-historical events and the parallel overdetermination of the relationship between subjects and objects of inquiry along with a novel conception of class as a process of performing appropriating and distributing surplus labor. In a collection of 30 original essays chapters confront readers with the core concepts of overdetermination and class in the context of economic theory postcolonial theory cultural studies continental philosophy economic geography economic anthropology psychoanalysis and literary theory/studies. Though Resnick and Wolff’s writings serve as a focal point for this collection their works are ultimately decentered—contested historicized reformulated. The topics explored will be of interest to proponents and critics of the post-structuralist/postmodern turn in Marxian theory and to students of economics as social theory across the disciplines (economics geography postcolonial studies cultural studies anthropology sociology political theory philosophy and literary studies among others). | Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

The Routledge Companion to Music Mind and Well-being

The Routledge Companion to Music Mind and Well-being

In recent decades the relationship between music emotions health and well-being has become a hot topic. Scientific research and new neuro-imaging technologies have provided extraordinary new insights into how music affects our brains and bodies and researchers in fields ranging from psychology and music therapy to history and sociology have turned their attention to the question of how music relates to mind body feelings and health generating a wealth of insights as well as new challenges. Yet this work is often divided by discipline and methodology resulting in parallel yet separate discourses. In this context The Routledge Companion to Music Mind and Well-being seeks to foster truly interdisciplinary approaches to key questions about the nature of musical experience and to demonstrate the importance of the conceptual and ideological frameworks underlying research in this field. Incorporating perspectives from musicology history psychology neuroscience music education philosophy sociology linguistics and music therapy this volume opens the way for a generative dialogue across both scientific and humanistic scholarship. The Companion is divided into two sections. The chapters in the first historical section consider the varied ways in which music the emotions well-being and their interactions have been understood in the past from Antiquity to the twentieth century shedding light on the intellectual origins of debates that continue today. The chapters in the second contemporary section offer a variety of current scientific perspectives on these topics and engage wider philosophical problems. The Companion ends with chapters that explore the practical application of music in healthcare education and welfare drawing on work on music as a social and ecological phenomenon. Contextualising contemporary scientific research on music within the history of ideas this volume provides a unique overview of what it means to study music in relation to the mind and well-being.

Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany Courts and Adjudicatory Practices in Frankfurt am Main 1562–1696

Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany Courts and Adjudicatory Practices in Frankfurt am Main 1562–1696

Frankfurt am Main in common with other imperial German cities enjoyed a large degree of legal autonomy during the early modern period and produced a unique and rich body of criminal archives. In particular Frankfurt’s Strafenbuch which records all criminal sentences between 1562 and 1696 provides a fascinating insight into contemporary penal trends. Drawing on this and other rich resources Dr. Boes reveals shifting and fluid attitudes towards crime and punishment and how these were conditioned by issues of gender class and social standing within the city’s establishment. She attributes a significant role in this process to the steady proliferation of municipal advocates jurists trained in Roman Law who wielded growing legal and penal prerogatives. Over the course of the book it is demonstrated how the courts took an increasingly hard line with select groups of people accused of criminal behavior and the open manner with which advocates exercised cultural religious racial gender and sexual-orientation repressions. Parallel with this however is identified a trend of marked leniency towards soldiers who enjoyed an increasingly privileged place within the judicial system. In light of this discrepancy between the treatment of civilians and soldiers the advocates’ actions highlight the emergence and spread of a distinct military judicial culture and Frankfurt’s city council’s contribution to the quasi-militarization of a civilian court. By highlighting the polarized and changing ways the courts dealt with civilian and military criminals a fuller picture is presented not just of Frankfurt’s sentencing and penal practices but of broader attitudes within early modern Germany to issues of social position and cultural identity. | Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany Courts and Adjudicatory Practices in Frankfurt am Main 1562–1696
