Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

In this book Sidney Dekker sets out to identify the market mechanisms that explain how less government paradoxically leads to greater compliance burdens. This book gives shape and substance to a suspicion that has become widespread among workers in almost every industry: we have to follow more rules than ever—and still things can go spectacularly wrong. Much has been privatized and deregulated giving us what is sometimes known as ‘new public management ’ driven by neoliberal market-favoring policies. But paradoxically we typically have more rules today not fewer. It’s not the government: it’s us. This book is the first of a three-part series on the effects of ‘neoliberalism ’ which promotes the role of the private sector in the economy. Compliance Capitalism examines what aspects of the compliance economy what mechanisms of bureaucratization are directly linked to us having given free markets a greater reign over our political economy. The book steps through them picking up the evidence and levers for change along the way. Dekker’s work has always challenged readers to embrace more humane empowering ways to think about work and its quality and safety. In Compliance Capitalism Dekker extends his reach once again writing for all managers board members organization leaders consultants practitioners researchers lecturers students and investigators curious to understand the genuine nature of organizational and safety performance. | Compliance Capitalism How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree Overregulated Workers

The Psychology of Political Extremism What Would Sigmund Freud have Thought About Islamic State?

The Psychology of Political Extremism What Would Sigmund Freud have Thought About Islamic State?

Recent terrorist attacks have left the UK (and Europe) genuinely at sea as to how to respond to these distressing events. There are the predictable interpretations with politicians on the right talking about counter-terrorism harsher punishments and tightening up on the internet whilst on the political left there is talk about blaming foreign wars. All this analysis is relevant but insufficient. Politicians are not talking enough about why so many young people are sufficiently angry and alienated that they are prepared to be seduced by the toxic and poisonous ideology of Islamic State. The Psychology of Political Extremism examines both the politics and the psychology as well as what motivates people to behave in ways that are so disturbing. Freud is the hook as the founding father of the talking cure. A radical and subversive theorist in his time he claimed that mankind was influenced more by the inner workings of the mind and internal conflicts than by rational thought. | The Psychology of Political Extremism What Would Sigmund Freud have Thought About Islamic State?

The Evolutionary Origins of Markets How Evolution Psychology and Biology Have Shaped the Economy

The Evolutionary Origins of Markets How Evolution Psychology and Biology Have Shaped the Economy

Our elaborate market exchange system owes its existence not to our calculating brain or insatiable self-centeredness but rather to our sophisticated and nuanced human sociality and to the inherent rationality built into our emotions. The modern economic system is helped a lot more than hindered by our innate social instincts that support our remarkable capacity for building formal and informal institutions. The book integrates the growing body of experimental evidence on human nature scattered across a variety of disciplines from experimental economics to social neuroscience into a coherent and original narrative about the extent to which market (or impersonal exchange) relations are reflective of the basic human sociality that was originally adapted to a more tribal existence. An accessible resource this book will appeal to students of all areas of economics including Behavioral Economics and Neuro-Economics Microeconomics and Political Economy. | The Evolutionary Origins of Markets How Evolution Psychology and Biology Have Shaped the Economy

Socialtechnological Man/h

Socialtechnological Man/h

Recent international attention has focused on desertification and its concomitants especially the diminution of flora and fauna in arid and semiarid lands and the resulting reduction in the economic value of those lands. Natural factors such as drought and wind erosion as well as various technological practices have been blamed for the present situation in many countries. Most observers agree that human beings have been both perpetrators and victims of desertification. Anthropologists have long been interested in documenting hew different societies have affected and been affected by their environments. The papers in this volume present ease studies of societies ranging from ancient Peru to contemporary Israel along with several topically oriented works. All are designed to illustrate how various societies-whether by water management or by the exploitation of plants and animals-have attempted to achieve ecological balance. Social organization and ideology as well as technology are discussed as important variables affecting the ways in which populations adapt to or cope with desertification. | Socialtechnological Man/h

Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 2 Africa

Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 2 Africa

Originally published in 1993 this book contains 3 studies on Africa: Algeria Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The studies underline the difficulties which Africa has faced in initiating its technological transformation. During the post WW2 period liberation from colonialism came relatively late and therefore many African countries did not have the possibility of participating in the rapid growth of global output and trade. Debt drought and famine have put additional burdens on the economic conditions of the continet. Adverse conditions and poor infrastructure have made the continent much more vulnerable to both external and internal disturbances and as a result many countries have not had the opportunity to make a real beginning towards their transformation. | Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 2 Africa

Curious Lessons in the Museum The Pedagogic Potential of Artists' Interventions

Curious Lessons in the Museum The Pedagogic Potential of Artists' Interventions

Amongst recent contemporary art and museological publications there have been relatively few which direct attention to the distinct contributions that twentieth and twenty-first century artists have made to gallery and museum interpretation practices. There are fewer still that recognise the pedagogic potential of interventionist artworks in galleries and museums. This book fills that gap and demonstrates how artists have been making curious but none-the-less useful contributions to museum education and curation for some time. Claire Robins investigates in depth the phenomenon of artists' interventions in museums and examines their pedagogic implications. She also brings to light and seeks to resolve many of the contradictions surrounding artists' interventions where on the one hand contemporary artists have been accused of alienating audiences and on the other appear to have played a significant role in orchestrating positive developments to the way that learning is defined and configured in museums. She examines the disruptive and parodic strategies that artists have employed and argues for that they can be understood as part of a move to re-establish the museum as a discursive forum. This valuable book will be essential reading for students and scholars of museum studies as well as art and cultural studies. | Curious Lessons in the Museum The Pedagogic Potential of Artists' Interventions

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

The idea that plants have minds can sound improbable but some widely respected contemporary scientists and philosophers find it plausible. It turns out to be rather tricky to vindicate the presumption that plants do not have minds for doing so requires getting clear about what plants can do and what exactly a mind is. By connecting the most compelling empirical work on plant behavior with philosophical reflection on the concept of minds Plant Minds aims to help non-experts begin to think clearly about whether plants have minds. Relying on current consensus ideas about minds and plants Chauncey Maher first presents the best case for thinking that plants do not have minds. Along the way however he unearths an idea at the root of that case the idea that having a mind requires the capacity to represent the world. In the last chapter he defends a relatively new and insightful theory of mind that rejects that assumption making room for the possibility that plants do have minds primarily because they are alive. | Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

The Political Use of Military Force in US Foreign Policy

The Political Use of Military Force in US Foreign Policy

From the Quasi War with France and the opening of Japan to the numerous interventions of the 1990s these events have been situated at the heart of US foreign policy. There are four different explanations as to why the US throughout its history has used military force just short of war. Some scholars have suggested that nations use military force on behalf of security objectives. Others have maintained that economic self-interest has motivated many military interventions. Recently many researchers have explored the extent to which the US has used force to promote democracy and human rights and still more scholars have argued that presidents use limited force for domestic political purposes. Assessing the utility of each of these explanations throughout US history Meernik employs both historical narrative and statistical techniques to provide a comprehensive account of these important foreign policy events. This engaging highly informative volume is particularly suited to scholars and students in the fields of international relations foreign policy military affairs and history. | The Political Use of Military Force in US Foreign Policy

Assembling and Governing Habits

Assembling and Governing Habits

The increasing significance of managing or changing habits is evident across a range of pressing contemporary issues: climate change waste management travel practices and crowd control. Assembling and Governing Habits engages with the diverse ways in which habits are governed through the knowledge practices and technologies that have been brought to bear on them. The volume addresses three main concerns. The first focuses on how the habit discourses proposed by a range of disciplines have informed the ways in which different forms of expertise have shaped the ways in which habits have been managed or changed to bring about specific social objectives. The second concerns the ways in which habits are acted on as aspects of infrastructures which constitute the interfaces through which technical systems human conducts and environments are acted on simultaneously. The third concerns the specific ways in which habit discourses and habit infrastructures are brought together in the regulation of ‘city habits’: that is habits which have specific qualities arising out of the specific conditions – the rhythms and densities – of urban life and ones which in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have been profoundly disrupted. Written in a clear and direct style the book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in cultural studies sociology cultural geography history of the sciences and posthuman studies.

Environmentalism under Authoritarian Regimes Myth Propaganda Reality

Environmentalism under Authoritarian Regimes Myth Propaganda Reality

Since the early 2000s authoritarianism has risen as an increasingly powerful global phenomenon. This shift has not only social and political implications but also environmental implications: authoritarian leaders seek to recast the relationship between society and the government in every aspect of public life including environmental policy. When historians of technology or the environment have investigated the environmental consequences of authoritarian regimes they have frequently argued that authoritarian regimes have been unable to produce positive environmental results or adjust successfully to global structural change if they have shown any concern for the environment at all. Put another way the scholarly consensus holds that authoritarian regimes on both the left and the right generally have demonstrated an anti-environmentalist bias and when opposed by environmentalist social movements have succeeded in silencing those voices. This book explores the theme of environmental politics and authoritarian regimes on both the right and the left. The authors argue that in instances when environmentalist policies offer the possibility of bolstering a country’s domestic (nationalist) appeal or its international prestige authoritarian regimes can endorse and have endorsed environmental protective measures. The collection of essays analyzes environmentalist initiatives pursued by authoritarian regimes and provides explanations for both the successes and failures of such regimes looking at a range of case studies from a number of countries including Brazil China Poland and Zimbabwe. The volume contributes to the scholarly debate about the social and political preconditions necessary for effective environmental protection. This book will be of great interest to those studying environmental history and politics environmental humanities ecology and geography. | Environmentalism under Authoritarian Regimes Myth Propaganda Reality

Challenges from Within

Challenges from Within

This title was first published in 2001. The challenges that face the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have changed considerably. Growing international interdependence has meant that domestic civil servants are playing an increasing role in international negotiations and foreign policy making. The scope and complexity of foreign policy under conditions of interdependence has pushed FCO involvement beyond its normal boundaries and into areas that have traditionally been the preserve of domestic policy-makers. In this book Roger Murphy assesses the success of the FCO in dealing with these challenges providing an examination of the changes that have taken place in the British foreign policy making system. | Challenges from Within
