Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Originally published in 2004. Local knowledge reflects many generations of experience and problem solving by people around the world increasingly affected by globalizing forces. Such knowledge is far more sophisticated than development professionals previously assumed and as such represents an immensely valuable resource. A growing number of governments and international development agencies are recognizing that local-level knowledge and organizations offer the foundation for new participatory models of development that are both cost-effective and sustainable and ecologically and socially sound. This book provides a timely overview of new directions and new approaches to investigating the role of rural communities in generating knowledge founded on their sophisticated understandings of their environments devising mechanisms to conserve and sustain their natural resources and establishing community-based organizations that serve as forums for identifying problems and dealing with them through local-level experimentation innovation and exchange of information with other societies. These studies show that development activities that work with and through local knowledge and organizations have several important advantages over projects that operate outside them. Local knowledge informs grassroots decision-making much of which takes place through indigenous organizations and associations at the community level as people seek to identify and determine solutions to their problems. | Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

The Politics of New Atheism

The Politics of New Atheism

New atheism is best known as a literary and media phenomenon which has resulted in the widespread discussion of the anti-religious arguments of authors such as Richard Dawkins Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens yet it also has strongly political dimensions. This book analyses the political aspects of new atheism and offers an analysis that is informed by insights from political science and political theory. The authors locate new atheism within a diverse history of politically-oriented atheisms. It is argued the new atheist movement itself contains a considerable variety of political viewpoints despite coalescing around forms of secularist campaigning and identity politics. New atheist views on monotheism public life morality and religious violence are examined to highlight both limitations and strengths in such perspectives. Conservative feminist and Marxist responses to new atheism are also evaluated within this critical analysis. The book rejects claims that new atheism is itself a form of fundamentalism and argues that the issues it grapples with often reflect wider dilemmas in liberal-left thought which have ongoing relevance in the era of Trump and Brexit. It will be of great interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of new atheism political atheism secularism non-religion and secular-religious tensions. | The Politics of New Atheism

The New Examination System - GCSE

The New Examination System - GCSE

Reform of the public examination system for sixteen-year-olds presented a considerable challenge to secondary schools. The new General Certification of Secondary Education introduced in 1988 was more than a continuation of the G. C. E. ‘O’ level and C. S. E. examinations at the time. The introduction of national criteria by the Department of Education the part played by the Secondary Schools Examination Council the emergence of new examining bodies were new dimensions faced by schools accustomed to exercising considerable autonomy in designing a curriculum. How far would the new examination reflect what was actually taught in our classrooms? What were its new features? Which pupils would be entered and with what prospect of success? Above all how would schools meet a tight time schedule which required study of new syllabuses to be ready by 1986 for the first examinations held in 1988? Originally published in 1986 this book was intended to answer some of these questions and provide an up-to-date picture of the present state of the examination world with indications of future developments in the vital years ahead. It aimed to assist those immediately and urgently concerned with implementing this far-reaching educational reform. Today it can be considered in its historical context. | The New Examination System - GCSE

New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

New Drugs Fair Prices addresses the important question of how we might get the innovative new medicines we need at prices we can afford. Today this debate is impassioned but sterile. One side calls for price controls discounting their impact on investment in innovation. The other points to miraculous new therapies disregarding their affordability and social inequity. This polarized argument creates more heat than light threatening the social contract between the industry and society on which pharmaceutical innovation depends. This ground-breaking book takes a wholly new perspective on the issue and raises the debate to a more informed and productive level. Drawing on interviews with more than 70 experts across the pharmaceutical innovation world and combining a diverse literature from scientific political economic and business domains it describes how a sustainable and affordable supply of new medicines is possible only by balancing pharmaceutical innovation’s complex adaptive ecosystem. By considering how each of the ecosystem’s seven habitats work and interact with the others it makes a comprehensive set of recommendations for achieving that ecosystem balance. The core message of New Drugs Fair Prices is important to anyone who ever has needed or will ever need a medicine: we can have a sustainable supply of new medicines that are both innovative and affordable if we manage the pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem intelligently. | New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

Museums and Restitution New Practices New Approaches

Museums and Restitution New Practices New Approaches

This book examines contemporary approaches to restitution from the perspective of museums. It focuses on the ways in which these institutions have been addressing the subject at a regional national and international level.

The challenges benefits and drawbacks of recent and current museum practice are explored. At the same time the book discusses how these museum practices are received and informed by source communities institutional and governmental agendas and visitors' expectations in order to explore issues of authority collaboration and shared or conflicting values between the different communities involved in the process.

New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975

Between 1955 and 1975 music theatre became a central preoccupation for European composers digesting the consequences of the revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end of the Second World War. The ‘new music theatre’ wrought multiple significant transformations serving as a crucible for the experimental rethinking of theatrical traditions artistic genres the conventions of performance and the composer’s relation to society. This volume brings together leading specialists from across Europe to offer a new appraisal of the genre. It is structured according to six themes that investigate: the relation of new music theatre to earlier and contemporaneous theories of drama; the use of new technologies; the relation of new music theatre to progressive politics; the role of new venues and environments; the advancement of new conceptions of the performer; and the challenges that new music theatre lays down for music analysis. Contributing authors address canonical works by composers such as Berio Birtwistle Henze Kagel Ligeti Nono and Zimmermann but also expand the field to figures and artistic developments not regularly represented in existing music histories. Particular attention is given to new music theatre as a site of intense exchange – between practitioners of different art forms across national borders and with diverse mediating institutions. | New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975
