The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities Routes Less Travelled

The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities presents a series of ethnographic studies focusing on the local cultures of mobilities and immobilities emphasizing the everyday sense of contingency and heterogeneity that accompanies them. Compensating for the excess of theory and criticism based on the notion of 'hypermobilities' this book sheds light on the nuanced differences and idiosyncrasies of mobility with a view to rediscovering meanings and lifestyles marked by movement and immobility. Original empirical and global case studies are presented by an international team of scholars exploring the complex negotiated and contingent nature of the social worlds of movement.

The Routledge Companion to Alternative Organization

The Routledge Companion to Alternative Organization

Despite the Great Recession slightly different forms of global capitalism are still portrayed as the only game in town by the vast majority of people in power in the world today. Unbridled growth trade liberalisation and competition are advocated as the only or best ways of organizing the contemporary world. Unemployment yawning gaps between rich and poor political disengagement and environmental devastation are too often seen as acceptable ‘side effects’ of the dominance of neo-liberalism. But the reality is that capitalism has always been contested and that people have created many other ways of providing for themselves. This book explores economic and organizational possibilities which extend far beyond the narrow imagination of economists and management theorists. Chapters on co-operatives community currencies the transition movement scrounging co-housing and much more paints a rich picture of the ways in which another word is not only possible but already taking shape. The aim of this companion is to move beyond complaining about the present and into exploring this diversity of organisational possibilities. Our starting point is a critical analysis of contemporary global capitalism is merely the opening for thinking about organizing as a form of politics by other means and one that can be driven by the values of solidarity freedom and responsibility. This comprehensive companion with an international cast of contributors gives voice to forms of organizing which remain unrepresented or marginalised in organizational studies and conventional politics yet which offer more promising grounds for social and environmental justice. It is a valuable resource for students activists and researchers interested in alternative approaches to economy and society in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields. | The Routledge Companion to Alternative Organization

Alternative Political Economy Models of Transition The Russian and East European Perspective

Alternative Political Economy Models of Transition The Russian and East European Perspective

The collapse of centrally administered socialism in Russia and Eastern Europe resulted in what is commonly referred to as the transition problem: the transformation from a centrally administered socialist economic system to one that is market-based. Economic science has been faced with the challenge of developing an appropriate body of analysis advice and direction to help other nations that may be undergoing this process. In this volume John Marangos adopts a political economy approach that yields alternative models of transition. The volume develops transition models from what Marangos defines as the primary elements of six variables: (1) economic analysis; (2) definitions of the Good Society; (3) speed of transition; (4) political structure; (5) ideological structure; and (6) initial conditions. The models developed include: the shock therapy model the neoclassical gradualist model of transition the post Keynesian model the pluralistic market the socialist model and the non-pluralistic market socialist model. After identifying the primary elements of each transition model Marangos considers the elements of each model with respect to the desirable reforms. An essential element of the transition process is not only to identify the necessary reforms but also a sequence in which the reforms should be introduced. For each transition model developed in this book a set of primary and secondary elements were provided in conjunction with a sequence of reforms. Analyzing the transition problem from a political economy perspective Marangos shows that it is possible to have inconsistencies within each transition model and between transition models yet be able to identify the potential for implementation and maintenance of necessary reforms each model recommends. This volume contributes to the understanding of the process of transition with the objective of identifying an optimal model of transition. | Alternative Political Economy Models of Transition The Russian and East European Perspective

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach it examines the nature of defence planning the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure Anglo-American relationships the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy history of science arms control disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament. | British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954–1973 Britain the United States Weapons Policies and Nuclear Testing: Tensions and Contradictions

Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Statistical Methods: An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis Second Edition is a textbook designed for students with no prior training in statistics. It provides a solid background of the core statistical concepts taught in most introductory statistics textbooks. Mathematical proofs are deemphasized in favor of careful explanations of statistical constructs. The text begins with coverage of descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and variability then moves on to inferential statistics. Transitional chapters on z-scores probability and sampling distributions pave the way to understanding the logic of hypothesis testing and the inferential tests that follow. Hypothesis testing is taught through a four-step process. These same four steps are used throughout the text for the other statistical tests presented including t tests one- and two-way ANOVAs chi-square and correlation. A chapter on nonparametric tests is also provided as an alternative when the requirements cannot be met for parametric tests. Because the same logical framework and sequential steps are used throughout the text a consistency is provided that allows students to gradually master the concepts. Their learning is enhanced further with the inclusion of thought questions and practice problems integrated throughout the chapters. New to the second edition: Chapters on factorial analysis of variance and non-parametric techniques for all data Additional and updated chapter exercises for students to test and demonstrate their learning Full instructor resources: test bank questions Powerpoint slides and an Instructor Manual | Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days

This book clarifies and verifies the role sport has as an alternative marker in understanding and mapping memory in Japan by applying the concept of lieux de mémoire (realms of memory) to sport in Japan. Japanese history and national construction have not been short of sports landmarks since the end of the nineteenth century. Western-style sports were introduced into Japan in order to modernize the country and develop a culture of consciousness about bodies resembling that of the Western world. Japan’s modernization has been a process of embracing Western thought and culture while at the same time attempting to establish what distinguishes Japan from the West. In this context sports functioned as sites of contested identities and memories. The Olympics baseball and soccer have produced memories in Japan but so too have martial arts which by their very name signify an attempt to create traditions beyond Western sports. Because modern sports form bodies of modern citizens and at the same time offer countless opportunities for competition with other nations they provide an excellent ground for testing and contesting national identifications. By revealing some of the key realms of memory in the Japanese field of sports this book shows how memories and counter-memories of (sport) moments places and heroes constitute an inventory for identity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society. | Sport Memory and Nationhood in Japan Remembering the Glory Days
