Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

This book revisits the economic relationship that ties the UK andIreland to the United States in the aftermath of the greatest economic crisisof the past fifty years. Whenconsidering recent developments to these economic links, it appears thatoppositional forces are at work. On one hand, globalization and the rise of neweconomic powers may undermine the ties. Besides, Ireland’s and the UK’s EuropeanUnion membership could also loosen their economic ties with the US. Conversely,the future Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement may wellstrengthen trade and investment links between the US and Europe. Are the economic bonds between the US, the UK and Ireland waning, assome pundits purport? Or are those claims overstated? Could their economicrelationship simply be going through a process of change? Although there maynot be a single and straightforward answer to these questions, the authors seekto address these issues and provide insight into the changing dynamics of thishistoric economic relationship.

The Politics of Health Policy Reform in the UK - Calum Paton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Health Policy Reform in the UK - Calum Paton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explains the politics of thirty years of ‘market reform’ in the English NHS, with the rest of the UK a counter-factual. Paton shows how each subsequent reform has been shaped by the confusion left by the previous reform. The long-term ideology has been anti-statist but policy-making at each stage of ‘reform’ has been driven by short-term politics. The outcome in England has been ever-increasing complexity in the NHS, with significantly increased management costs and no commensurate benefit.

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the discourse of regulatory crisis in the UK and examines why, despite the increasing contestation of the principles underpinning the regulatory state, its institutions and practices continue to be firmly embedded within the governance of the British state. It considers its implications for our understanding of the contemporary nature of the British state, and to the study of regulation which is no longer confined to the domain of low politics, populated by technocrats, but is scrutinised by elected politicians, and the subject of the front pages rather than the financial pages. The author sets the British regulatory tradition in a wider context, both spatially, in terms of the challenges presented by Europeanisation, and temporally, critically analysing the process of crisis construction in the narratives of neoliberalism and participatory democracy in the contemporary era.

Volunteering and Society in the 21st Century - Meta Zimmeck - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Volunteering and Society in the 21st Century - Meta Zimmeck - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

While volunteering has played a prominent role in most societies throughout history, the current weight of expectation about the contribution it can make to individual development, social cohesion and addressing social need has never been greater - at the global, European and national level. Volunteering and Society in the 21st Century, now in paperback and with a major new Foreword exploring the impact of the UK government''s ''Big Society'' agenda on volunteering, has been designed to meet this unprecedented interest. While the main focus is on volunteering in the UK, the book is informed by and, in turn, contributes to international perspectives on voluntary action. It provides an overview of the concepts and theories which explain the nature of volunteering; reviews the data on who volunteers and for what; examines key organizational issues for volunteer managers; and discusses the enduring challenges which volunteering continues to face in the 21st century - the need to change its image; the push for an inclusive approach; the danger of formalization; and the threat to its independence.

New Developments in Critical Race Theory and Education - Mike Cole - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New Developments in Critical Race Theory and Education - Mike Cole - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book considers new developments in Critical Race Theory (CRT) in times of austerity and assesses both the impact of British CRT or ‘BritCrit’, and CRT’s continuing growth in the US. Following transatlantic impact of the first and only book-length response from a Marxist perspective—Critical Race Theory and Education: A Marxist Response—Cole includes a retrospective critique and development of certain arguments in that volume; an evaluation of the influential ‘Race Traitor’ movement, including observations on the (changing) political perspectives of Ignatiev and Garvey; and reflections on racialized neoliberal capitalism in the era of austerity and immiseration. While acknowledging CRT’s strengths, this book stresses the need for (neo-) Marxist analysis to fully understand and challenge racism in the UK and the US and to envision a socialism for the twenty-first century.
