Adaptive Architecture Changing Parameters and Practice

Adaptive Architecture Changing Parameters and Practice

The constant in architecture's evolution is change.

Gendered Work in Asian Cities The New Economy and Changing Labour Markets

Gendered Work in Asian Cities The New Economy and Changing Labour Markets

Do the new Asian economies encourage gender equality? Ann Brooks provides a unique insight into this question by assessing the impact of the new economy and the changing labour market on women in Asia. Theoretical debates around globalization gender and social change are combined with empirical research on professional women in two cosmopolitan cities: Hong Kong and Singapore. The author's research shows that even in such cosmopolitan cities where women tend to have a strong advantage there is a 'new dynamic of inequality'. This makes the examination of women's labour market participation and ambition in these environments very different to previous research. The research is set against the backdrop of Southeast Asia more generally and international comparisons are also drawn. It will be of interest to scholars in sociology economics gender studies business studies and Asian studies. | Gendered Work in Asian Cities The New Economy and Changing Labour Markets

The Defense Industrial Base Strategies for a Changing World

The Defense Industrial Base Strategies for a Changing World

The US and international defense industrial sectors have faced many challenges over the last twenty years including cycles of growth and shrinkage in defense budgets shifts in strategic defense priorities and macroeconomic volatility. In the current environment the defense sector faces a combination of these challenges and must struggle with the need to maintain critical aspects of the defense industrial base as defense priorities change and as defense budgets reduce or plateau. Moreover the defense sector in the US is interconnected both with defense sectors in other countries and with other industry sectors in the US and global economies. As a result strategic decisions made in one defense sector impact the defense sectors of other countries as well as other areas of the economy. Given her academic corporate and Department of Defense experience as a leading economist and policy-maker Dr. Nayantara Hensel is perfectly positioned to examine the interrelationship between these forces both historically and in the current environment and to assess the implications for the future global defense industrial base. | The Defense Industrial Base Strategies for a Changing World

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Originally published in 2003. Western attitudes to crime were in the past rooted in concepts of sin and therefore of hopes for redemption and forgiveness. So what happens - to offenders and society as a whole - in a world where people no longer talk of sin but of evil. If hopes of redemption go too will revenge take the place of forgiveness? Kay Carmichael explores these dilemmas in this topical and provocative book. She traces the stories of Myra Hindley Mary Bell Sarah Payne James Bulger and his killers comparing public responses to such crimes in various Western countries. Art and literature are examined for the light they throw on the evolution of our ideas about sin and forgiveness - from Rembrandt to Nathaniel Hawthorne Samuel Becket Dali and writings inspired by the Holocaust. Turning to our own day Carmichael discusses the emergence of structural sins or 'iniquities' in which we may all find ourselves involved: poverty slavery violence and war are her themes. Her analysis leaves her sceptical about many contemporary appeals for forgiveness but hopeful about ideas of restorative justice. | Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate governance regulation has been through numerous cycles of reform and yet we still see instances of companies collapsing suddenly. Codes of corporate governance have been implemented in most developed countries recommending detailed governance frameworks for publicly listed companies and their boards but our understanding of how these codes influence behaviour is still limited. In this book Alice Klettner draws on the domains of law and business to explore the effectiveness of corporate governance codes. Using interview evidence from company directors and officers as well as published evidence of companies’ corporate governance systems she discusses the theory and practice of corporate governance and its regulation – with a focus on how corporate governance codes can affect board behaviour and company performance. This interdisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of corporate governance and will also be directly relevant to governance practitioners and policymakers. | Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

The Use of Imprisonment Essays in the Changing State of English Penal Policy

The Use of Imprisonment Essays in the Changing State of English Penal Policy

In the previous few years English penal policy had undergone considerable change. Originally published in 1975 the contributors to The Use of Imprisonment focus on the use of imprisonment in such a time of transition and examine various aspects of penal policy – administrative organizational staffing legal philosophical. The volume provides a valuable introduction to penal policy and administration and to some of the central issues in the penological debate at the time. Influenced mainly by events in the United States interest had been growing in England in prisoners’ legal rights and in the laws affecting imprisonment. This complemented an increasing mood of scepticism among many psychologists sociologists and other social scientists in relation to the aims and methods of reformatory imprisonment. Such thinking although still largely divergent and amorphous had gone far towards undermining the penological axioms and aspirations of the last few generations. The precise direction of new policy was still unclear but the essays in this book make various informed suggestions as to the future and also provide an examination of the present state of several key areas. They emphasise the failure of the treatment model of imprisonment while at the same time recognising the need to be cautious about breaking down the prison walls and bringing treatment ‘into the community’. | The Use of Imprisonment Essays in the Changing State of English Penal Policy

Ageing Populations and Changing Labour Markets Social and Economic Impacts of the Demographic Time Bomb

Ageing Populations and Changing Labour Markets Social and Economic Impacts of the Demographic Time Bomb

Talk of a demographic time bomb is not new. The notion first entered public consciousness some time ago but there is a lack of clarity about what such talk is really all about. Ageing populations are seen both as a threat and an opportunity. There is concern about discrimination against older workers at the same time as there is concern about a shortage of labour. Migration of labour from places with young populations to places with ageing populations is sometimes seen in a positive light and sometimes quite differently. With chapters reflecting different perspectives from around the world this book constitutes a major contribution to serious informed debate on issues that all too often have been the subject of sensationalised media treatment. Professor Stella Vettori has assembled a collection of expert writers on the social cultural political and economic factors that have implications both for labour markets and the well being of older people both in developed and developing countries. As a result anyone involved with workplace and employment policy and practice and issues of diversity and discrimination either at a corporate or societal level will want to read this book. Policy implications are considered and possible solutions to seemingly intractable problems are offered in a remarkable book that embraces serious academic debate and a practical focus on real issues. | Ageing Populations and Changing Labour Markets Social and Economic Impacts of the Demographic Time Bomb
