Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

A selection from the papers of the commander in chief of the Mediterranean station Sir Edward Codrington which shows the British government’s determined policy following on from the bombardment of Algiers to try to end attacks on trade in that sea. The target on this occasion was ‘privateers’ operating out of the impoverished Aegean islands whose inhabitants had long used these methods to sustain their economies and who were exploiting the opportunities created by the Greek war of independence from the Turks to do so. Codrington tackled the problem in two ways – by bringing pressure on the Greek provisional government and on local authorities to control their own subjects and by direct action where they failed to act. This volume reproduces the reports of the frigate and sloop captains who carried out this task culminating in the destruction of the pirate fleet and military occupation of their stronghold at Grabusa Crete where the frigate Cambrian was wrecked on a rock at the harbour entrance. These operations are a striking example of the enforcement of the Pax Britannica on an unwilling population. | Piracy in the Levant 1827-8

Workers' Capital Industry funds and the fight for universal superannuation in Australia

Workers' Capital Industry funds and the fight for universal superannuation in Australia

Superannuation was once a privilege granted only to company head office staff and career public servants. Now in Australia nearly all workers have access to employer-contributed superannuation and it is a fundamental pillar of Australia's retirement income system. Workers' Capital tells the story of the Australian superannuation revolution led by trade unions in the 1980s. After a series of hard-fought industrial campaigns an enormous financial industry was created involving hundreds of thousands of employers and covering millions of fund members. From having one of the worst retirement savings systems in the developed world in three decades Australia had one of the best. Now the funds held in Australian superannuation accounts exceed the entire market capitalisation of all the companies on the Australian Stock Exchange. Drawing on interviews with the key players and extensive archival research Workers' Capital is the first systematic history of the unique Australian system of industry superannuation. 'Startling and informative-I thought I knew a lot about the industry superannuation phenomenon but this one took me by surprise. For a topic so important a real page-turner.

Peace and Security in Indo-Pacific Asia is for the informed the interested and the engaged. Sorpong Peou brings together the skills of the pedagogue with the knowledge of the scholar. Dr. David Dewitt University Professor Emeritus Senior Scholar York University Toronto Canada. Peou’s excellent book provides both the lay reader and the specialist with six important theoretical frameworks which should provide the basis for better appreciation of what a security community in Indo-Pacific Asia means in our world today. There are very few scholars who understand the region like Peou. Dr. W. Andy Knight Professor of Political Science the University of Alberta Canada. Sorpong Peou’s extraordinary breadth of knowledge of both International Relations theory and the key trends in Indo-Pacific Asia shines through in this authoritative analysis. Dr. Richard Stubbs Professor of Political Science McMaster University Canada. A pedagogical approach of the textbook that is appreciated is how the author respectfully engages with the theories of IR and is not pushing an agenda of denouncing some theories and trying to persuade the reader of others. We live in such polarizing times that it is truly refreshing to read scholarly work that avoids sensationalistic attacks on theories that have been debated for decades. Each theory in this manuscript is explored on its own terms and the reader is encouraged to figure out where they stand on these enduring debates in the context of Indo-Pacific security. The approach will lead to compelling classroom discussions of the theories and the politics of the region. This book is a must-read for any student or observer of security trends in the region.

It highlights the need to think broadly about the purposes of higher education and the dynamics of organizational excellence and to apply these insights effectively in goal setting planning and change leadership outcomes assessment addressing crises and continuous improvement at both the level of the individual and organization. The concepts and tools in this book are equally valuable for faculty and staff leaders whether in formal leadership roles such as deans chairs or directors of institutes committees or task forces or those who perform informal leadership functions within their departments disciplines or institutions. It can be used as a professional guide a textbook in graduate courses or as a resource in leadership training and development programs.

While community colleges promote American ideals of democracy opportunity and social mobility; they provide a vital accessible and affordable education for nearly 12 million first-generation economically-disadvantaged and minoritized students; are engines of local workforce and economic development; and enroll nearly half of all students who go on to complete a four-year degree; they remain the least resourced and the least funded institutions in the United States. Offering the insights of the former president of Greenfield Community College—located in Massachusetts’s poorest rural county—who was a national leader in community college and higher education organizations as well as closely involved with local businesses and organizations; and commentary and background data provided by Professor of Higher Education and Chair of the Department of Leadership in Education at the University of Massachusetts Boston this book addresses the challenges that community colleges face as they strive to achieve their complex missions in a changing world. By providing vivid accounts of the diversity of students that community colleges serve the complexity of their missions—from dual enrollment with high schools to vocational training adult education and transfer to four-year colleges—and the role they play in supporting and responding to the needs of local business as well in regional economic development the authors make the case for increased investment while at the same time making apparent to all stakeholders—from policy makers and trustees to college leaders faculty and staff—how they can contribute to the vital development of human capacities. Community colleges are open-access train nearly 80% of all first responders graduate more than half of new nurses and health-care workers and have a history of nimbleness and responsiveness to community needs and can play a vital role in training for tomorrow’s jobs over 60% of which will in the next decade require some college education. The first four chapters set the scene demonstrating the key foundational linkage between education community and democracy presenting a history of the community college movement illustrating what’s involved in building strong and reciprocal community relationships and covering a whole panoply of leadership issues such as governance institutional culture facilities planning resource development accreditation and crisis management. The second part of the book presents Bob Pura’s accounts of his visits to five community colleges each representing different geographic regions institutional size urban and rural locations and how they respond to the varied racial and ethnic populations from they draw their students and establish themselves as anchors in their communities. As well as offering an important message to state and federal policy makers this book serves as a roadmap for aspiring leaders of community colleges as well as a text for leadership and higher education courses. College leaders may find it useful for internal training and learning community groups.
