Towards a Flexible Labour Market: Labour Legislation and Regulation since the 1990s (Oxford Monographs on Labour Law)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Taking as its starting point the authors` earlier work on Labour Legislation and Public Policy, this book provides a detailed account and critical analysis of British labor legislation and labor market regulation since the early 1990s. Referring back to the earlier history, and filling in the gaps in the early and mid-1990s, the work concentrates mainly on the legislation and policy measures in the employment sphere of the New Labour governments which have been in power since 1997, placing those developments in the context of the relevant aspects of European Community law. The work argues for an understanding of this body of legislation and regulatory activity as being directed towards the realization of a flexible labor market, and shows how this objective has been pursued in three intersecting areas, those of regulating personal or individual employment relations, regulating collective representation, and promoting work. It explores the methods of regulation which have… [detailed...]

Towards a Knowledge Based Economy?: Knowledge And Learning in European Educational Research

Description: Although educational research advocates the perspective of the learner, who or what is it advocating against? The governments of all European Union countries give learning the most prominent place on their policy agendas, the European Commission wants Europe to become a knowledge based society, companies across the European Union are no longer interested primarily in profit, but want to be learning organisations, social scientists detect the emergence of a learning society and economists advocate a learning economy. What does European educational research do, if nowadays everybody in the European Union wants nothing else but knowledgeable people? [detailed...]

Towards a Labour Market in China (Studies on Contemporary China)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: China`s remarkable economic transition and capacity for dynamic growth has stunned the world. Throughout the period of economic reform, China has been moving towards the creation of a labour market. The scale of this transformation is unprecedented. New economic incentives, vast labour migration, draconian retrenchment of state workers, and sharply rising wage inequality are all characteristic of this unique transition. Drawing on more than a decade of survey-based research, the authors systematically document and analyse this important transformation. They use economic and sociological theory, institutional analysis and political economy to fully explain the causes, pressures, obstacles and consequences of the move towards a labour market in China. It is argued that much progress has been made towards the creation of a labour market but that the process is far from complete. [detailed...]

Towards a Labour Market in China (Studies on Contemporary China)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From an administered labor system under central planning, the Chinese economy has moved towards a labor market. This book reviews the progress that has been made over two decades of urban economic reform. It analyzes the underlying political economy thathas both induced and impeded reform, and examines the economic changes that have unleashed market forces. Based on frontier research using specially designed and collected survey data, the book documents the rising wage inequality, the greater rewards or skills, the growing wage segmentation based on labor immobility and profit-sharing, the emergence of serious urban unemployment, and the competition from the rising tide of rural migrants. China does not yet have a functioning labor market: the bookconcludes by examining the prospects for its creation. [detailed...]

Towards a Language of Interruption: an attempt to articulate and document the experience of being both a mother and an artist

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This Masters research paper is an attempt to begin to articulate and document my lived experience of being both a mother and an artist. Underpinned by research into the cultural and social history of the experience of mothering and the cultural institution of ?motherhood?, I revisit and reinterpret some of my earlier works, and explore issues of identity brought up by the relational experience of mothering. I seek out other women who are, or have been, both mothers and artists ? particularly sculptors ? and whose work relates to their subjective experiences of mothering. From them I select and investigate both works, and reflections, which I feel resonate with my own experience. Against this background I describe and interpret the body of work completed during my Masters candidacy, drawn from my subjective experience of becoming, and being, a mother whilst continuing my artistic practice.

Towards a Sustainable Economy: The Introduction of Ecological Premises into Long-Term Planning in Norway

Publisher: —
Description: This book presents a major new study of the potential for a `sustainable economy` in Norway. With support from the Research Council of Norway and the Ministries of Finance and the Environment, the research team structured a dialogue between leading economists, environmental NGO`s and politicians. The goal of the project was to integrate ecological indicators proposed by a so-called `Green Parliament` into the macro-economic models and projections used by the Official governmental planning apparatus.The book recounts in detail the structure of the project and the results of the analysis, laying particular weight on the fact that a more sustainable economy is clearly possible without a serious disruption of consumption of welfare. The implications offactoring in more stringent ecological demands for a number of sectors are explored, providing thereby specific parameters and scenarios for a more sustainable economy.

Towards a `Natural` Narratology

1996 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: Towards a `Natural` Narratology makes an intervention into ongoing debates in literary theory and criticism. Monika Fludernik argues for a new narrative theory which builds on insights from conversational narrative while touching on key issues for poststructuralists. Drawing on insights from cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis and structuralist narratology, the author examines narrative structures as they have developed from oral storytelling to the realist novel and beyond. This is a ground-breaking work of synthesis which makes a significant contribution to fundamental issues in literary theory. Fludernik`s new model entails a radical reconceptualization of current narratological thinking, integrating narrative theory within a wide range of topical debates in literary studies. [detailed...]

Description: Amazon.comThirteen-year-old Jasira wants what every girl wants: love and acceptance and the undivided attention of whoever she`s with. And if she can?t get that from her parents, then why not from her mother`s boyfriend, or her father`s muscle-bound neighbor, Mr. Vuoso? Alicia Erian?s incandescent debut novel, Towelhead , will ring true for readers who remember the rarely poetic transition from childhood to young adulthood. Jasira is a creature of contradiction: both innocent (reading romantic intentions into the grossest displays of lust) and oddly clear-sighted, especially when it comes to the imbalance of power, and the things we do for love. When her mother exiles her to Houston to live with Jasira`s strict, quick-to-anger Lebanese father, she quickly learns what aspects of herself to suppress in front of him. In private, however, she conducts her sexual awakening with all the false confidence that pop culture and her neighbor`s Playboy magazines have… [detailed...]

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Tower and Office , Spanish architects Inaki Abalos and Juan Herreros look at the role and impact of advanced building technologies in American architecture since World War II. The war, they claim, marked the end of the first cycle of modernism, challenging the belief that technological progress alone could produce a perpetually better future. At the same time, the war was the source of powerful new structural models and construction methods. The authors examine the ways these technologies have been inflected over the last half century by more subjective and integrated processes of spatial organization. In the first part of the book, Abalos and Herreros focus on the work of Le Corbusier, revealing the degree of complexity achieved in his interpretation of the modern skyscraper. In the second part, they look at the intersection of technical and cultural determinants in the design of high-rise structures since World War II. Among the issues they… [detailed...]

Jagielski`s narrative is told through the lens of two men: Shamil Basaev, a hero to some, a dangerous warlord to others, and Aslan Maskhadov, a calculating and sober politician who is viewed as a providential savior by some of his compatriots and a cowardly opportunist by the rest. Caught up in a war to which they owe everything and without which they could not live, the two fighters face enemy forces-and one another-in protean conflicts that prove hard to quell. Viewing the men`s personal story as a microcosm of the conflict threatening to devour a land and its… [detailed...]
