Rethinking International Organization: Deregulation and Global Governance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The function of the state as a symbol of identity has become increasingly important as major powers of the pre-Cold War era have given way to self-determination. The conventional role of the state has, however, simultaneously been challenged by the process of globalization which transcends such national boundaries. In this book, Barbara Emadi-Coffin seeks to explain this contradiction through a radical new theory. Emadi-Coffin analyzes the increasing interaction of multinational corporations, international organizations and transnational interest groups, such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International, in processess of the global political economy.

Rethinking Los Angeles (Metropolis and Region, V. 2)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Los Angeles region is increasingly being held up as a prototype for the collective urban future of the United States. Yet it is probably the least understood, most under-studied major city in the US. Very few people beyond the boundaries of Southern California have an accurate appreciation of what the region is, who lives there, and what it does. This groundbreaking collection of essays brings together well-respected contributors to dispel the myths about Southern California and to begin the process of `rethinking` Los Angeles. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: We have assembled a distinguished international panel of leaders and scholars in management education whose contributions reflect diverse perspectives on management theory and practice. Gerald Ferris and his associates conceptualize political skill to include self and social astuteness, influence and control, networking and building social capital, and genuineness/sincerity. Their chapter describes methods for developing and shaping such skills. Nick Nissley examines how arts-based learning is informing the practice of management education. How artful ways of knowing are being practiced in organizations. Anne McCarthy and associates provide a cutting-edge balanced assessment of both service learning theory and its current practice. Godshalk and Foster-Curtis present four models of online MBA curricula focused on part-time students including curricular issues, technology requirements, and funding and institutional commitment requirements for each model.

Rethinking Methods in Psychology

1995 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: This accessible textbook introduces a range of key research methods that challenge psychology`s traditional preoccupation with `scientific` experiments. The recent widespread rejection of conventional theory and method has led to the evolution of different ways of gathering and analyzing data. This book provides a lucid and well-structured guide to effective methods, containing a range of qualitative approaches (for example, semi-structured interviews, grounded theory, discourse analysis) alongside a reworking of quantitative methods to suit the changing picture of contemporary psychological research. In addition, a number of the chapters are explicitly concerned with research as a dynamic interactive process. The editors have assembled a group of internationally respected figures to steer the reader through the main stages of conducting a study using these methods. Rethinking Methods in Psychology is an essential text for anyone with an interest in how to do research in… [detailed...]

Because the success of reforms depends on financial innovation to mitigate key risks, innovations are discussed which demonstrate how pension reform choices affect the achievement of retirement objectives. Finally, the authors examine proposed hybrid options to show how their beneficial features can be captured through planning within a single fund. [detailed...]

Rethinking Performance Measurement

Description: Performance measurement remains a vexing problem for business firms and other kinds of organizations. The `balanced scorecard`, widely touted as a solution to problems of performance measurement and strategic planning, has no strong basis in theory. Moreover, implementation of the `balanced scorecard` may create many more problems than it solves. This text returns to the fundamentals by asking what is the performance of the firm, can this performance be measured, and what are reasonable second-best measures if the first-best measures we would like to have are not available.

Rethinking Philanthropic Effectiveness: Lessons From An International Network Of Foundation Experts (Bertelsmann Foundation)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionTo date, there is no fully satisfactory `frame` or methodology for the analysis of philanthropy. While this absence provides foundation leadership with considerable latitude in which to shape organizational structure and strategy, it also poses questions that every foundation must answer, or at least consider. What are the major challenges facing philanthropy today? How do foundations perceived, assess and solve problems? How do they define best practices for management and evaluation? How can foundations increase their efficiency and effectiveness? These are only some of the topics raised in Rethinking Philanthropic Effectiveness. The book represents the work of a four year project in which more than 60 outstanding and seasoned practitioners participated. The papers presented here were fully collaborative works, reflecting the input of a dynamic network of committed professionals. While there are few `easy answers` presented in these pages, there are… [detailed...]

Rethinking Preparation for Content Area Teaching: The Reading Apprenticeship Approach (Jossey Bass Education Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Reading Apprenticeship (RA) framework has received national recognition as an effective, research-based instructional approach that supports all students in successfully engaging with and learning from academic texts. First introduced in Reading for Understanding by Ruth Schoenbach et al., the approach is based on a program with a proven record of success in boosting the reading levels of urban high school students. Emphasizing social, personal, cognitive, and knowledge-building tools, the Reading Apprenticeship approach can be useful to teachers in any content area classroom. In Rethinking Preparation for Content Area Teaching , Jane Braunger and her co-authors make the case for incorporating the Reading Apprenticeship instructional model into secondary teacher preparation programs. Arguing that teacher education programs need to foster a broader understanding of adolescent literacy, especially if teachers are to help their students read in discipline-specific ways,… [detailed...]

Description: PR is a huge UK industry with up to 50,000 jobs, a poor reputation yet a pervasive influence on politics and markets. Historically, it has been mostly weak propaganda and market boosterism, yet it escapes sustained academic scrutiny. PR needs reform because it will not go away, and because it continues to grow. It must become reasoned persuasion. Until that happens via voicing more competitive group intermediation and internal reform, it stands convicted as charged: contributing to communicative inequality in liberal, democratic, market democracies.

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The `Wu Family Shrines` pictorial carvings from Han dynasty China (206 BCE–220 CE) are among the earliest works of Chinese art examined in an international arena.

The chapters in thefirst section consider the ways society conceptualizes new information technologies and their implications for law and policy, examining the common metaphor of `cyberspace as place,` alternative definitions of the Internet, the concept of a namespace, and measures of diffusion. The chapters in the second section discuss how technological change may force the rethinking of legal rights, topics considered include spectrum rights, intellectual property, copyright and `paracopyright,` and… [detailed...]

Rethinking Social Realism: African American Art and Literature, 1930-1953

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe social realist movement, with its focus on proletarian themes and its strong ties to New Deal programs and leftist politics, has long been considered a Depression-era phenomenon that ended with the start of World War II. This study explores how and why African American writers and visual artists sustained an engagement with the themes and aesthetics of social realism into the early Cold War era--far longer than a majority of their white counterparts. Stacy I. Morgan first recallsthe social realist atmosphere in which certain African American artists and writers were immersed--the political philosophies and works of cultural criticism as well as the community-based institutions, exhibition venues, and publications in locales ranging from Chicago to Mexico City to New York. Rethinking Social Realism then looks closely at the media that proved to be the most appealing and effective to African American social realists: murals, graphic arts, poetry, and novels….

Description: Bringing together the thoughts of economists, political scientists, anthropologists, philosophers, and agricultural policy professionals, this volume focuses on the issues of sustainability in development. Examining such topics as international trade, political power, gender roles, legal institutions, and agricultural research, the contributors focus on the missing links in theory and practice that have been barriers to the achievement of truly sustainable development. Any theory of sustainable development must take into account economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Until recently, the question `What is development?` was often answered predominantly from the economist`s perspective, with high priority being assigned to expansion of economic output. Social, political, institutional, and ethical aspects have often been neglected. But now that sustainable development has become a broadly accepted concept, it is impossible to maintain a narrowly economistic… [detailed...]
