Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Divided between two military alliances Europe has maintained stability based on political status quo and military power balance. However European states—including neutral and nonaligned countries—have felt a need for a common policy to guarantee their security and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) was convened to address this concern. Ten years later the authors of this study find that the outlines of a European security regime are indeed discernible. The conference in Helsinki initiated efforts for negotiated and controlled change in Europe. Contributors to this volume analyze the achievements of CSCE consider more recent models of collective or common security systems and deal with political and military processes at work in Europe as well as relationships with great powers and the Third World. The role of Western Europe and particularly Finland's role as an initiator of the CSCE process receives special attention. Documentation of the tenth anniversary meeting and the CSCE process in general are also included. | Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

Ten years after the results of the Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation were released this book assesses the impact of this study which developed individualized plans for helping people with disabilities to stay independent in the community. The study was the first wide-scale test of people with disabilities managing their own budgets and results from the random-controlled trial demonstrated significant positive outcomes encouraging the US federal and state governments to provide this option as part of their community-based care programs. This volume looks at what people with disabilities and their caregivers are saying about this option ten years removed from the study and what the latest research shows in terms of what it will take to improve this approach making the option available for all people with disabilities. The contributions also discuss what needs remain unmet even when people can manage their own budgets and present participants’ and their family caregivers’ views on what support broker activities really help (or hurt). Finally the book summarizes the results of a project involving the Council of Social Work Education and nine schools of social work to develop modules to train future social workers on person-centred planning and participant direction. Of interest to those researchers studying social care with a focus on disabilities this book would also be of use to those training social workers and support staff. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work and Home Health Care Services Quarterly. | Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

Traces of a Mobile Field Ten Years of Mobilities Research

Traces of a Mobile Field Ten Years of Mobilities Research

This agenda-setting collection critically reflects upon a decade of contributions to the social scientific ‘mobilities turn’ in order to propose new trajectories for the future of this interdisciplinary research field. The chapters are all exemplars of how the past decade of research has opened up new insights into the place of mobilities in societies. They also highlight how attempts to look forward towards new conversations understandings and interventions in a mobile world will emerge from the transformations invoked by this field of research. Authors foreground issues of power interdisciplinarity transformative technologies fragmented discourses and changing social processes whilst addressing automobility aeromobility tourism communications technologies urban infrastructures migration and emergencies. As a whole the collection raises important questions about not only how understandings of mobilities are changing but also how the field of mobilities research is itself on the move. The evocative empirical cases and provocative arguments in this book thus highlight the necessity of new concepts conversations methods empirical studies and interventions to address transformations in both the complex mobilities of social worlds and what is examined or taken for granted in mobilities research itself. This book was originally published as a special issue of Mobilities. | Traces of a Mobile Field Ten Years of Mobilities Research

Critical Terrorism Studies at Ten Contributions Cases and Future Challenges

Critical Terrorism Studies at Ten Contributions Cases and Future Challenges

Critical Terrorism Studies emerged around 2007 in the context of the rapidly intensifying War on Terror. It was in this era that terrorism became a growth industry which generated a huge amount of academic research as well as social and political activity. Yet a yawning gap developed between the actual material threat posed by terrorists and the level of investment and activity devoted to responding to this threat. Similarly the quality of terrorism research was noticeably weak and lacking in methodological rigour. Critical Terrorism Studies set out to explore the exceptional treatment of political violence to challenge the political manipulation of terrorism fears and increase in draconian anti-terrorism legislation and to address some of the conceptual and methodological failings of terrorism research. In the 10 years since the journal Critical Studies on Terrorism was launched that context and mission remains as important as ever. This volume looks back on the achievements and failures of Critical Terrorism Studies in this period as well as collecting state of the art research into terrorism discourse queerness and the War on Terror the Prevent Strategy epistemology in terrorism studies state repression the ambiguous ends of militant campaigns the epistemology of preventative counterterrorism and the question of non-violent responses to terror. The chapters originally published in a special issue in Critical Studies in Terrorism. | Critical Terrorism Studies at Ten Contributions Cases and Future Challenges

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications but also their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy as none of the cities were ever built they have remained as utopian literature. Some of the works examined are very well-known such as Tommaso Campanella’s Civitas Solis while others such as Joseph Michael Gandy’s Designs for Cottages are relatively obscure. However even with the best known works this volume offers new insights by focusing on the architecture of the cities and how that architecture represents the author’s political philosophy. It reconstructs the cities through a 3-D computer program ArchiCAD using Artlantis to render. Plans sections elevations and perspectives are presented for each of the cities. The ten cities are: Filarete - Sforzina; Albrecht D¼rer - Fortified Utopia; Tommaso Campanella - The City of the Sun; Johann Valentin Andreae - Christianopolis; Joseph Michael Gandy - An Agricultural Village; Robert Owen - Villages of Unity and Cooperation; James Silk Buckingham - Victoria; Robert Pemberton - Queen Victoria Town; King Camp Gillette - Metropolis; and Bradford Peck - The World a Department Store. Each chapter considers the work in conjunction with contemporary thought the political philosophy and the reconstruction of the city. Although these ten cities represent over 500 years of utopian and political thought they are an interlinked thread that had been drawn from literature of the past and informed by contemporary thought and society. The book is structured in two parts: | Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

10 Mindframes for Visible Learning Teaching for Success

10 Mindframes for Visible Learning Teaching for Success

The original Visible Learning research concluded that one of the most important influencers of student achievement is how teachers think about learning and their own role. In Ten Mindframes for Visible Learning John Hattie and Klaus Zierer define the ten behaviors or mindframes that teachers need to adopt in order to maximize student success. These include: thinking of and evaluating your impact on students’ learning; the importance of assessment and feedback for teachers; working collaboratively and the sense of community; the notion that learning needs to be challenging; engaging in dialogue and the correct balance between talking and listening; conveying the success criteria to learners; building positive relationships. These powerful mindframes which should underpin every action in schools are founded on the principle that teachers are evaluators change agents learning experts and seekers of feedback who are constantly engaged with dialogue and challenge. This practical guide which includes questionnaires scenarios checklists and exercises will show any school exactly how to implement Hattie’s mindframes to maximize success. | 10 Mindframes for Visible Learning Teaching for Success

Black Abolitionists in Ireland

Black Abolitionists in Ireland

The story of the anti-slavery movement in Ireland is little known yet when Frederick Douglass visited the country in 1845 he described Irish abolitionists as the most ‘ardent’ that he had ever encountered. Moreover their involvement proved to be an important factor in ending the slave trade and later slavery in both the British Empire and in America. While Frederick Douglass remains the most renowned black abolitionist to visit Ireland he was not the only one. This publication traces the stories of ten black abolitionists including Douglass who travelled to Ireland in the decades before the American Civil War to win support for their cause. It opens with former slave Olaudah Equiano kidnapped as a boy from his home in Africa and who was hosted by the United Irishmen in the 1790s; it closes with the redoubtable Sarah Parker Remond who visited Ireland in 1859 and chose never to return to America. The stories of these ten men and women and their interactions with Ireland are diverse and remarkable. | Black Abolitionists in Ireland
