A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

While the popularity of golf is coming under increased pressure it continues to hook millions of players. However the complexity of the game and the extremely high level of precision required to hit the ball consistently well means that it is a game that is difficult to even become ‘good’ at let alone master. Consequently irrespective of whether the player is a weekend golfer a club member or a tour professional the search for the key to playing good golf feeds an insatiable desire for ideas and tips to improve golf performance and bring one’s handicap down. However traditional coaching with its primary focus on developing the perfect swing is not leading to a reduction in handicaps and the time is ripe for a new approach. This book aims to fill this void and is a landmark text for golf coaches and players about applying a constraints-led approach (CLA) to golf coaching. In this book two golf coaches Pete Arnott and Graeme McDowall talk to Ian Renshaw to demonstrate how their practice is driven and inspired by their alignment to a CLA. A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching includes case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to induce adaption in the technical tactical (or put in golf terms course management) physiological and psychological development mechanisms needed to improve at golf. Examples cover coaching from their work with beginners high handicappers aspirant tour players and elite players looking to make the ‘tour’.

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance contributes theoretical and empirical insights to the existing knowledge on the scope challenges and results of post-conflict international state- and institution-building project focusing on post-war Kosovo. Post-war Kosovo is one of the high-profile cases of international intervention hosting a series of international missions besides a massive inflow of international aid technical assistance and foreign experts. Theoretically the book goes beyond the standard narrative of international top-down institution building by exploring how international and local factors interact bringing in the mediating role of local resistance and highlighting the hybridity of institutional change. Empirically the book tests those alternative explanations in key areas of institutional reform – municipal governance public administration normalization of relations with Serbia high education creation of armed forces the security sector and the hold of Salafi ideologies. The findings speak to timely and pertinent issues regarding the limits of international promotion of effective institutions; the mediating role of local agents; and the hybrid forms of institution-building taking shape in post-conflict Kosovo and similar post-war contexts more broadly. Addressing challenges of state-building at the intersection of international interventions local strategies of resistance and the hybridity of institution-building experience with institutional reforms in Kosovo and in post-conflict contexts more broadly International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance will be of great interest to scholars of international relations state building and post-conflict societies. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Southeast European and Black Sea Studies. | International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

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

Is the European Union Capable of Integrating Diverse Models of Capitalism?

Is the European Union Capable of Integrating Diverse Models of Capitalism?

The 2009 European sovereign debt crisis and the EU’s policy response to it have prompted scholars to re-think whether diverse national models of capitalism can thrive within the European Union (EU). Are some national economic systems better suited to adapt to European integration than others and if so why? Contributions within this volume provide a qualified yes to these questions raised concluding that the EU favors export-led growth models while it penalizes and discourages domestic consumption-oriented growth paths particularly those that are financed by debt-accumulation. The book questions whether the EU is capable of integrating these diverse capitalist regimes. This volume adds a comparative capitalism perspective to EU integration scholarship in order to demonstrate that ever-closer union is not capable of accommodating diversity in national economic institutions. Chapters in this volume provide an innovative framework for understanding what factors related to European integration impede the economic and political integration of diverse European market economies. While recent comparative capitalism literature highlights that European monetary integration has favored export-led growth regimes contributions in this volume outline that the EU’s prioritization of export-led growth over domestic-demand led growth is present in other facets of integration including EU accession financial integration the free movement of people fiscal governance and the Europe 2020 growth strategy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of New Political Economy. | Is the European Union Capable of Integrating Diverse Models of Capitalism?

Civil Society and Political Reform in Lebanon and Libya Transition and constraint

Civil Society and Political Reform in Lebanon and Libya Transition and constraint

Lebanon and Libya have undergone critical political events in recent years. However demands for reform from civic institutions during these transitions have not led to concrete political decisions. Civil Society and Political Reform in Lebanon and Libya reveals the deeply-entrenched historical patterns and elements of continuity that have led to path dependent outcomes in the political transitions of both countries. Motivated by personal experiences as an activist in Lebanon the author draws together a wide range of data from participant observations nation-wide surveys interviews and focus groups in a careful analysis of these two civil society-led reform campaigns. The study demonstrates how the combination of weak states and power-sharing agreements marginalizes civic organisations and poses institutional constraints on the likelihood of reform. Written by an active participant in the political events discussed this book offers new insight into two countries which present comparable and informative case studies. As such it is a valuable resource for students scholars and policymakers interested in civil society politics and reform in the Middle East and North Africa. | Civil Society and Political Reform in Lebanon and Libya Transition and constraint
