Anticipatory Policymaking When Government Acts to Prevent Problems and Why It Is So Difficult

Anticipatory Policymaking When Government Acts to Prevent Problems and Why It Is So Difficult

Public policy analysts and political pundits alike tend to describe the policymaking process as a reactive sequence in which government develops solutions for clearly evident and identifiable problems. While this depiction holds true in many cases it fails to account for instances in which public policy is enacted in anticipation of a potential future problem. Whereas traditional policy concerns manifest themselves through ongoing harms anticipatory problems are projected to occur sometime in the future and it is the prospect of their potentially catastrophic impact that generates intense speculation and concern in the present. Anticipatory Policymaking: When Government Acts to Prevent Problems and Why It Is So Difficult provides an in depth examination of the complex process through which United States government institutions anticipate emerging threats. Using contemporary debates over the risks associated with nanotechnology pandemic influenza and global warming as case study material Rob A. DeLeo highlights the distinctive features of proactive governance. By challenging the pervasive assumption of reactive policymaking DeLeo provides a dynamic approach for conceptualizing the political dimensions of anticipatory policy change. | Anticipatory Policymaking When Government Acts to Prevent Problems and Why It Is So Difficult

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence examines public and professional conceptions of the relationships between thinking about spatial attributes and active engagement in spatially related constructions and designs. Even though children’s and adolescents’ spatial propensities in constructive activities parallel the skills needed by professionals in both established and emerging fields spatial education is often missing from K–12 curricula and is easily impeded by teachers parents or other individuals who do not provide contexts in formalized settings such as schools to nurture its potential. This book bridges the gap by linking the natural spatial inclinations interests and proclivities of individuals from a variety of cultures with professional training and expertise in engineering architecture science and mathematics. Educators will be better able to achieve the skills and awareness necessary to provide children and young adults with the vital opportunities inherent in spatial education. | Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Trust is a concept familiar to most. Whether we are cognizant of it or not we experience it on a daily basis. Yet trust is quickly eroding in civic and political life. Americans’ trust in their government has reached all-time lows. The political and social consequences of this decline in trust are profound. What are the foundations of trust? What explains its apparent decline in society? Is there a way forward for rebuilding trust in our leaders and institutions? How should we study the role of trust across a diverse range of policy issues and problems? Given its complexity trust as an object of study cannot be claimed by any single discipline. Rather than vouch for an overarching theory of trust Living in an Age of Mistrust synthesizes existing perspectives across multiple disciplines to offer a truly comprehensive examination of this concept and a topic of research. Using an analytical framework that encompasses rational and cultural (or sociological) dimensions of trust the contributions found therein provide a wide range of policy issues both domestic and international to explore the apparent decline in trust its impact on social and political life and efforts to rebuild trust. | Living in an Age of Mistrust An Interdisciplinary Study of Declining Trust and How to Get it Back

Reading Architecture Literary Imagination and Architectural Experience

Reading Architecture Literary Imagination and Architectural Experience

Why write instead of draw when it comes to architecture? Why rely on literary pieces instead of architectural treatises and writings when it comes to the of study buildings and urban environments? Why rely on literary techniques and accounts instead of architectural practices and analysis when it comes to academic research and educational projects? Why trust authors and writers instead of sociologists or scientists when it comes to planning for the future of cities? This book builds on the existing interdisciplinary bibliography on architecture and literature but prioritizes literature’s capacity to talk about the lived experience of place and the premise that literary language can often express the inexpressible. It sheds light on the importance of a literary instead of a pictorial imagination for architects and it looks into four contemporary architectural subjects through a wide variety of literary works. Drawing on novels that engage cities from around the world the book reveals aspects of urban space to which other means of architectural representation are blind. Whether through novels that employ historical buildings or sites interpreted through specific literary methods it suggests a range of methodologies for contemporary architectural academic research. By exploring the power of narrative language in conveying the experience of lived space it discusses its potential for architectural design and pedagogy. Questioning the massive architectural production of today’s globalized capital-driven world it turns to literature for ways to understand resist or suggest alternative paths for architectural practice. Despite literature’s fictional character the essays of this volume reveal true dimensions of and for places beyond their historical social and political reality; dimensions of utmost importance for architects urban planners historians and theoreticians nowadays. | Reading Architecture Literary Imagination and Architectural Experience

Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)

Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)

The book includes essay which are all written by philosophers of or about forty -five years of age. They fall into two main groups: those in which the writer devotes himself chiefly to the exposition of the great Vedic tradition as he has apprehended it and made it the basis of his own life’s work; and those in which the writer while on the whole remining true to the spirit of that tradition has sought to give new interpretations of it either by instituting comparisons of it with the Western doctrines most closely allied to it or by treating of modern problems in a way which though suggested by what he has learned from the West is yet stamped with the mark of his own racial sympathy. Western readers will naturally find the latter group more attractive; but this volume will have failed of its purpose if it does not give them some sense of the truth that underlies even the essays with which owing to the presuppositions ion which these are founded they find themselves least in sympathy. | Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)

The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

The cognitive science of religion is a new discipline that looks at the roots of religious belief in the cognitive architecture of the human mind. The Roots of Religion deals with the philosophical and theological implications of the cognitive science of religion which grounds religious belief in human cognitive structures: religious belief is ’natural’ in a way that even scientific thought is not. Does this new discipline support religious belief undermine it or is it despite many claims perhaps eventually neutral? This subject is of immense importance particularly given the rise of the ’new atheism’. Philosophers and theologians from North America UK and Australia explore the alleged conflict between truth claims and examine the roots of religion in human nature. Is it less ’natural’ to be an atheist than to believe in God or gods? On the other hand if we can explain theism psychologically have we explained it away. Can it still claim any truth? This book debates these and related issues. | The Roots of Religion Exploring the Cognitive Science of Religion

Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

This book is the first to focus exclusively on issues of gender and sexuality in a range of post-war novels from the Anglophone Caribbean. Concentrating on the 1950s to the mid 1970s it highlights the period's diversity of sexual concerns. New readings of seminal figures like Samuel Selvon and George Lamming are offered in tandem with discussion of innovative lesser-studied authors such as Andrew Salkey Oscar Dathorne and Rosa Guy. Whereas this body of work has tended to be characterised as minimally engaged with sexuality and overly reliant on patriarchal heteronormative frameworks the book takes a different approach. First it unpacks the motivations behind the masculinist bent of much of this writing emphasising the anxieties underlying such assertion. It exposes both the gendered and sexual imperatives of the nationalist project and the destabilising effects of migration on masculine performance. Second it brings to life a range of critically neglected same-sex desires. Framing such longing as both narratively and nationally disruptive it recovers the marginalised erotic relations that challenge fantasies of national cohesion. As a result the book opens up existing mappings of Caribbean fiction. Drawing on queer theory feminism and masculinity studies it highlights the ways in which sex both exceeds and threatens the imagined unity on which the nationalist vision depends. | Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

The Courtroom as a Space of Resistance Reflections on the Legacy of the Rivonia Trial

The Courtroom as a Space of Resistance Reflections on the Legacy of the Rivonia Trial

Fifty years before his death in 2013 Nelson Mandela stood before Justice de Wet in Pretoria's Palace of Justice and delivered one of the most spectacular and liberating statements ever made from a dock. In what came to be regarded as the trial that changed South Africa Mandela summed up the spirit of the liberation struggle and the moral basis for the post-Apartheid society. In this blistering critique of Apartheid and its perversion of justice Mandela transforms the law into a sword and shield. He invokes it while undermining it uses it while subverting it and claims it while defeating it. Wise and strategic Mandela skilfully reimagines the courtroom as a site of visibility and hearing opening up a political space within the legal. This volume returns to the Rivonia courtroom to engage with Mandela's masterful performance of resistance and the dramatic core of that transformative event. Cutting across a wide-range of critical theories and discourses contributors reflect on the personal spatial temporal performative and literary dimensions of that constitutive event. By redefining the spaces institutions and discourses of law contributors present a fresh perspective that re-sets the margins of what can be thought and said in the courtroom. | The Courtroom as a Space of Resistance Reflections on the Legacy of the Rivonia Trial

The International Economic Crisis and the Post-Soviet States

The International Economic Crisis and the Post-Soviet States

At first it seemed as if the international financial crisis that broke out in 2008 would have little effect in Russia and the other post-Soviet states. But by the end of the year growth was slowing banks were reluctant to lend share values had collapsed and unemployment was rising inexorably. The stability of the Putin leadership it appeared had been built on the turnaround in economic performance that it had managed to achieve over more than a decade. How would it cope with a sudden reversal? In Ukraine living standards fell even more sharply. In Belarus there were fewer obvious signs of economic difficulty but it could hardly be unaffected by the performance of its major trading partners. Drawing on a wide range of evidence an international group of scholars address the impact of the international financial crisis in the post-Soviet states and the continuing implications of the crisis for these countries themselves and for the wider world. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics now known as East European Politics. | The International Economic Crisis and the Post-Soviet States

Italy's Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century A Contested Nature?

Italy's Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century A Contested Nature?

Italy’s foreign policy has often been dismissed as too idiosyncratic inconsistent and lacking ambition. This book offers new insights into the position Italy has attained in the international community in the 21st century. It explores how the country has sought to take advantage of its passage from a bipolar to a multipolar system and assesses the ways in which it has engaged internationally its new responsibilities and the manner in which it conducts its policies in the pursuit of its interests whether political or commercial. It argues that although Italy is engaged internationally there is a gap between its actions and what it actually delivers and as long as this gap continues Italy is likely to remain a partial and unreliable foreign policy actor. Divided into three parts this book explores: the context and processes which characterise Italy’s external action its relations with crucial countries and regions such as the US the EU and the BRICs its security and defence policies. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of European Politics Foreign Policy analysis and Italian studies. | Italy's Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century A Contested Nature?
