Removal of the Property Qualification for Voting in the United States Strategy and Suffrage

Removal of the Property Qualification for Voting in the United States Strategy and Suffrage

In Colonial America democracy was centered in provincial assemblies and based on the collection of neighbors whose freehold ownership made them permanent stakeholders in the community. The removal of the property qualification for voting in the United States occurred over three-quarters of a century and was among the more important events in the history of democratization functioning to shift voting from a corporate privilege toward a human right. Moving beyond the standard histories of property standard histories of property qualification removal Justin Moeller and Ronald F. King adopt the theories and methods of social science to discover underlying patterns and regularities attempting a more systematic understanding of subject. While no historical event has a single cause party consolidation and party competition provided a necessary mechanism making background factors politically relevant. No change in franchise rules could occur without the explicit consent of incumbent politicians always sensitive to the anticipated impact. Moeller and King argue that political parties acted strategically accepting or rejecting removal of the property qualification as a means of advancing their electoral position. The authors identify four different variants of the strategic calculation variable significantly helping to explain both the temporal differences across states and the pattern of contestation with each state individually. | Removal of the Property Qualification for Voting in the United States Strategy and Suffrage

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health provides an overview of the development of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) and illuminates how the political context affects the way in which therapists consider their work and facilitates their practice. This book examines how CAT contributes to wider debates over ‘the politics of mental health’. With contributions from those working in services – including adult mental health learning disabilities and child and adolescent therapists – the writers consider how contemporary politics devolves responsibility for mental illness onto those suffering distress. The evolving political and social attitudes clients bring to therapy are also addressed in several chapters and there is a focus on groups in society who have been marginalized and neglected in mental and physical health services. Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health offers a fresh understanding of the contemporary politics of mental health that will be of interest to all therapists and mental health professionals.

The Routledge Companion to Indigenous Repatriation Return Reconcile Renew

The Routledge Companion to Indigenous Repatriation Return Reconcile Renew

This volume brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous repatriation practitioners and researchers to provide the reader with an international overview of the removal and return of Ancestral Remains. The Ancestral Remains of Indigenous peoples are today housed in museums and other collecting institutions globally. They were taken from anywhere the deceased can be found and their removal occurred within a context of deep power imbalance within a colonial project that had a lasting effect on Indigenous peoples worldwide. Through the efforts of First Nations campaigners many have returned home. However a large number are still retained. In many countries the repatriation issue has driven a profound change in the relationship between Indigenous peoples and collecting institutions. It has enabled significant steps towards resetting this relationship from one constrained by colonisation to one that seeks a more just dignified and truthful basis for interaction. The history of repatriation is one of Indigenous perseverance and success. The authors of this book contribute major new work and explore new facets of this global movement. They reflect on nearly 40 years of repatriation its meaning and value impact and effect. This book is an invaluable contribution to repatriation practice and research providing a wealth of new knowledge to readers with interests in Indigenous histories self-determination and the relationship between collecting institutions and Indigenous peoples. | The Routledge Companion to Indigenous Repatriation Return Reconcile Renew

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

The overthrow of the ‘gang of four’ in 1976 had profound effects in all areas of Chinese society and probably nowhere can this be seen more clearly than in the performing arts. Jiang Qing Mao Zedong’s widow was strongly interested in the performing arts and exercised great influence over them. Professor Mackerras describes this influence and the effects its removal had on the arts in the years after Mao’s death as well as in the years following the Cultural Revolution. This book first published in 1981 deals not only with opera the spoken play music and dance but also with cinema describing how in all these cases the Chinese have adapted traditional art forms for political social and propagandist purposes both domestic and international. It charts the transformations that have taken place in all the multiple aspects of the performing arts and sets them against the development of Chinese society as a whole. It also looks at the role of the actor and performer in society including their training social status and livelihood. | The Performing Arts in Contemporary China

‘Indian Wars’ and the Struggle for Eastern North America 1763–1842

‘Indian Wars’ and the Struggle for Eastern North America 1763–1842

‘Indian Wars’ and the Struggle for Eastern North America 1763–1842 examines the contest between Native Americans and Anglo-Americans for control of the lands east of the Mississippi River through the lens of native attempts to form pan-Indian unions and Anglo-Americans’ attempts to thwart them. The story begins in the wake of the Seven Years’ War and ends with the period of Indian Removal and the conclusion of the Second Seminole War in 1842. Anglo-Americans had feared multi-tribal coalitions since the 1670s and would continue to do so into the early nineteenth century long after there was a credible threat due to the fear of slave rebels joining the Indians. By focusing on the military and diplomatic history of the topic the work allows for a broad understanding of American Indians and frontier history serving as a gateway to the study of Native American history. This concise and accessible text will appeal to a broad intersection of students in ethnic studies history and anthropology.

Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Liberalization Privatization and Globalization policy was advocated in India in 1991 under the supervision of P. V. Narasimha Rao the then Prime Minister of India. As a consequence the tea plantation industry was largely affected. It has confronted difficult competition because of the simplification of tariff barriers and the removal of the quantity restrictions on imports. The result of these on the share of export of Indian tea has declined the price has plunged and the profitability has reduced. To remain competitive in the market tea-producing companies have been forced to reduce the various costs especially labour costs. Due to this tea companies are not in a position to fulfil their responsibilities such as health safety welfare and working conditions to the workers. Besides improper recruitment of labour lack of proper training facilities and even irregularities in payment of wages have been increased significantly. As a result 1. 2 million workers in the tea industry to sustain themselves and their families have been adversely affected. This leads to labour unrest and the industry has become vulnerable. The final impact of all these issues spreads to the quality of tea and profitability of the industry in India. This book examines the existing human resource management practices in the Indian tea industry. It adopts a simplified yet comprehensive approach to showcase workforce management in the tea industry. This book will be of value to postgraduate students researchers HR professionals and policymakers in the fields of human resource management business history and industrial relations. | Human Resource Management in the Indian Tea Industry

Politics and Gender Identity in Turkey Centralised Islam for Socio-Economic Control

Politics and Gender Identity in Turkey Centralised Islam for Socio-Economic Control

The creation of Turkish nationhood citizenship economic transformation the forceful removal of minorities and national homogenisation gender rights the position of armed forces in politics and the political and economic integration of Kurdish minority in Turkish polity have all received major interest in academic and policy debates. The relationship between politics and religion in Turkey originating from the early years of the Republicanism has been central to many – if not all – of these issues. This book looks at how centralized religion has turned into a means of controlling and organizing the Turkish polity under the AKP (Justice and Development Party) governments by presenting the results from a study on Turkish hutbes (mosque sermons) analysing how their content relates to gender roles and identities. The book argues that the political domination of a secular state as an agency over religion has not suppressed but transformed religion into a political tool for the same agency to organise the polity and the society along its own ideological tenets. It looks at how this domination organises gender roles and identities to engender human capital to serve for a neoliberal economic developmentalism. The book then discusses the limits of this domination reflecting on how its subjects position themselves between the politico-religious authority and their secular lives. Written in an accessible format this book provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between religion and politics in the Middle East. More broadly it also sheds light on global moral politics and illiberalism and why it relates to gender religion and economics. | Politics and Gender Identity in Turkey Centralised Islam for Socio-Economic Control

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Written by one of the leading experts in the field Paul Ekins Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is required to achieve ‘real zero’ carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 and negative emissions thereafter which is the only way to stop human- induced climate change. This will require innovation in socio-technical systems and in human behaviour on an unprecedented scale. Stopping Climate Change describes the changes required to meet this goal: in technologies social institutions and individual activities. Paul Ekins examines in detail issues around the supply and demand of energy and materials and the efficiency of their use. It also analyses greenhouse gas removal technologies offsetting and geoengineering and plots the reduction of the non- CO2 greenhouse gas-emitting activities. Having set out the changes required Ekins considers the economic implications in terms of both the innovation and investments that are necessary to bring them about and the effects that these are likely to have on national economies. The evidence presented points clearly to the economic impacts of decarbonisation being positive for the majority of countries and for the world as a whole even before considering the benefits of avoided climate change. When the health benefits of stopping the burning of fossil fuels are factored in the global net benefits of decarbonisation are unequivocal. Drawing on examples from the UK and Europe but with wider relevance at a global scale Stopping Climate Change clearly shows how determined policy action at different levels could stop climate change. It will be of great interest to students scholars and policymakers researching and working in the field of climate change and energy policy. | Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Myanmar

Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Myanmar

After decades of mismanagement and direct military rule Myanmar’s contested transition to a more democratic government has rapidly shifted the outlook in this significant Southeast Asian nation. Since 2011 the removal of Western sanctions and new foreign investments have resulted in high rates of economic growth and an expanding middle class albeit from a very low base. In a result unthinkable a few years earlier former political prisoner and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and her party the National League for Democracy (NLD) formed a national government in early 2016. However despite significant political and economic reforms since the liberalisation process commenced the transition to civilian rule remains constrained by the military’s 2008 Constitution which guarantees that it operates unfettered by civilian oversight. As a result although some ethnic conflicts have abated others continue to fester and new conflicts have erupted. With a daunting task ahead the NLD government has made some progress in removing the vestiges of repressive military-era laws but many remain untouched and some of the practices of the new government provide unwelcome reminders of its authoritarian history. This timely Handbook describes the political economic and cultural dimensions of this crucial period of transition in Myanmar. It presents explanations for contradictory trends including those that defy some of the early narratives about the comprehensive transformation of Myanmar. The Handbook also considers the impact of major environmental strategic and demographic trends which help underscore that Myanmar’s development will be an ongoing task. In addition to introductory and concluding chapters by the editors the body of the Handbook is divided into seven core sections:• Fundamentals• Spaces• Cultures• Living• Governance• International• ChallengesWritten by an international team of scholars with a mix of world-leading established academics and talented emerging researchers the Handbook provides a rigorous scholarly overview of Myanmar’s politics economics and society. As Myanmar opens to Western businesses and government agencies this is an invaluable reference book that will provide a foundation for further research and offer the first port of call for scholars students and policy makers working on Myanmar and Asia. | Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Myanmar
