Ireland, Small Open Economies and European Integration : Lost in Transition David K. H Begg Palgrave Macmillan Palgrave Macmillan, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2016

"David Begg examines how four small open economies - Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Ireland - have managed the stresses and strains of Europeanisation since the single market came into being, and as fault lines begin to appear within the European integration project. In particular, he drills down into the Irish Polity to see how its institutions have engaged with Europe and how decisions on critical issues like integration, EMU and Social Partnership were reached. He finds that both Ireland and Europe are at a critical juncture for different but interconnected reasons, and identifies the options that are available to them"--Back cover

Global Media and National Policies : The Return of the State Terry Flew; Petros Iosifidis; Jeanette Steemers Palgrave Macmillan UK, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2016

Conventional wisdom views globalization as a process that heralds the diminishing role or even 'death' of the state and the rise of transnational media and transnational consumption. Global Media and National Policies questions those assumptions and shows not only that the nation-state never left but that it is still a force to be reckoned with. With contributions that look at global developments and developments in specific parts of the world, it demonstrates how nation-states have adapted to globalization and how they still retain key policy instruments to achieve many of their policy objectives. This book argues that the phenomenon of media globalization has been overstated, and that national governments remain key players in shaping the media environment, with media corporations responding to the legal and policy frameworks they deal with at a national level

The Energy Security-Climate Nexus: Institutional Change in the UK and Beyond (International Political Economy Series) Caroline Kuzemko, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Policy Group, University of Exeter, UK Palgrave Macmillan UK, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2013

In the advent of important crises of both climate change and energy supply (in)security, questions are being asked about changes in energy governance. Caroline Kuzemko explains how and why change takes place and discusses the convoluted UK energy governance system that has emerged between 2000 and the present day. She applies a complex theoretical approach based on new institutional concepts of policy paradigm change, but which also utilises concepts of (de)politicisation and securitization. UK energy governance, like energy policy elsewhere, is moving from one heavily influenced by neoliberal economic ideas to one where state intervention is more commonplace. Moreover, the new governance system is informed not by one but by multiple perspectives on energy and governance geopolitical, climate change and pro-market. Erscheinungsdatum: 07.05.2013

Cinema and Colour : The Saturated Image Paul Coates, Paul Coates British Film Institute ; Palgrave Macmillan, Bloomsbury UK, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2011

Cinema and Colour: The Saturated Image is a major new critical study of the use of colour in cinema. Using the dialectic of colour and monochrome as a starting point, Paul Coates explores the symbolic meanings that colour bears in different cultures, and engages with a range of critical approaches to filmic colour, building on the work of such theorists as Sergei Eisenstein, Rudolf Arnheim and Stanley Cavell. Coates also provides close analyses of films by directors such as Antonioni, Bergman, Godard, Hitchcock, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Sirk, Kieslowski, Tarkovsky, Von Trier and Zhang Yimou. Coates'focus is on films that deliberately exploit the rich multiplicity of cultural meanings and associations ascribed to colour, including All That Heaven Allows, Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle, The Double Life of Véronique, The Flight of the Red Balloon, Red Desert, Schindler's List, Silent Light, Solaris, The Three Colours Trilogy and The Wizard of Oz.

Henry James was fascinated by clothing and dress. This book examines, for the first time, the role of dress in reinforcing thematic and symbolic patterns in James's fictional world. Hughes traces a development from the significance of dress in discussion of 'the American Girl' in the early works, through dress as an indicator of social position, to the emergence of the more unstable and threatening aspects of dress, which culminate in the strange case of the coat of changing colours in The Sense of the Past.

Gender, Informal Institutions and Political Recruitment: Explaining Male Dominance in Parliamentary Representation (Gender and Politics) Elin Bjarnegård Palgrave Macmillan Limited, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2013

Parliaments around the world are still overwhelmingly populated by men, yet studies of male dominance are much rarer than are studies of female under-representation. In this book, men in politics are the subjects of a gendered analysis. How do men manage to hold on to positions of power despite societal trends in the opposite direction? And why do men seek to cooperate mainly with other men? Elin Bjarnegård studies how male networks are maintained and expanded and seeks to improve our understanding of the rationale underlying male dominance in politics. The findings build on results both from statistical analyses of parliamentary composition worldwide and from extensive field work in Thailand. A new concept, homosocialcapital, is coined and developed to help us understand the persistence of male political dominance.

The United States of America dominates the twenty-first-century world both in military as well as in political power and in its cultural influence as a model of the good life and a desired destination for migration. Like previous pre-eminent states, however, the USA also has its enemies and detractors. This was most dramatically manifested in the attacks on Washington and New York of September 11, 2001. But there are many more critics who, while appalled by such terrorist atrocities, are concerned by the cultural impact of the United States on traditional values and, especially since the election of George W. Bush as President, by increasing signs of unilateralism in foreign policy and an apparent retreat from international commitments and cooperation. Contemporary America provides a lively but learned introduction to the culture, economy, society, politics, and world role of the United States, all carefully set in historical context. Russell Duncan and Joseph Goddard offer balanced and provocative discussions of American diversity and community, of the importance and role of immigration, race and religion, and of the distinctive features of the US system of government and its economic and social structure. Illustrated throughout with relevant photographs, maps, charts, tables and boxes, this broad-ranging text covers everything from rock music to national parks and from media corporations to Medicare and is an ideal starting-point in American studies for students and interested general readers alike.

What is Masculinity?: Historical Dynamics from Antiquity to the Contemporary World (Genders and Sexualities in History) John Arnold; Sean Brady; Palgrave Connect (Online service) Palgrave Macmillan UK, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2011

Across history, the ideas and practices of male identity have varied much between time and place: masculinity proves to be a slippery concept, not available to all men, sometimes even applied to women. This book analyses the dynamics of 'masculinity' as both an ideology and lived experience - how men have tried, and failed, to be 'Real Men'. Erscheinungsdatum: 14.06.2011

Conflict and Cooperation in Participating Natural Resource Management || Roger Jeffery, Bhaskar Vira (eds.) Palgrave Macmillan, 10.1057/97, 2001

Over the past one hundred years in particular, there has been a steady process by which natural resources (such as ground-water, forests, fishing grounds and grazing land) have been increasingly managed by centralised institutions. Governments and other national agencies have argued that this promotes efficiency, equity, and other wide national goals. Recently this orthodoxy has been challenged by rising numbers of experiments that show how centralised management tends to fail. Global, national and local goals are more likely to be met, at lower cost and with other benefits (such as promoting better democratic institutions) by involving local populations in collaborative management agreements. This volume, based on detailed case studies from around the world, subjects some of these experiments to critical study, and suggests limits to the participative approach as well as ways it can be improved and made suitable for new contexts.

Leadership and Culture : Comparative Models of Top Civil Servant Training Montgomery Van Wart, Annie Hondeghem, Erwin Schwella, Paul Suino (eds.) Palgrave Macmillan UK Imprint : Palgrave Macmillan, 10.1057/97, 2014

This collection examines the leadership training of public administration in 19 countries and provides information on where, what, and how the training occurs as well as the up-to-date cultural, political, economic background for each. Factors affecting perceived importance, quality and robustness of top civil servant training are examined. The success and fate of governments around the globe is not only based on the success of political leaders, but also on the top civil servants who lead the apparatus of government. Given the enormous tasks of leading society and changing the culture of government itself, the training and retraining of top civil servants is vital. This important collection is a one-of-a-kind study that not only provides information about the where, what, and how of the training of top civil servants around the world, but also offers up-to-date cultural, political, economic background on both larger countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, and also smaller countries such as Colombia, Namibia, and Belgium. It explores in detail the factors that result in different country perceptions of the importance of executive training, and the reasons for the variations in its quality and robustness

The Role of the Prime Minister in France, 1981-91 || Robert Elgie (auth.) Palgrave Macmillan : [distributor] Not Avail, 10.1057/97, 1993

The institution of the Prime Minister in France remains remarkably understudied. There are many personalised accounts of the work of individual Prime Ministers and their relations with Presidents and government ministers. However, there has been no rigorous attempt to analyse the Prime Minister's overall influence in the decision-making process. The aim of this book is to examine the contemporary role of the Prime Minister in the French political system. By so doing, it provides a systematic analysis of the Prime Minister's influence over the policy-making process from 1981 to 1991. In particular, it examines the Prime Minister's ability to influence the content of budgetary policy and broadcasting policy. It also examines his capacity to react to crisis situations, notably during France's decision to stay in the European Monetary System in 1983 and during the wave of student unrest in 1986. The extent to which the Prime Minister is able to exercise political leadership and the conditions under which such leadership occurs are the main issues the book addresses. As such, it breaks new ground in the study of the French Prime Minister and provides a commentary on the French socialist experiment as conducted by Francois Mitterrand after 1981

How China Became Capitalist Ronald H. Coase; Ning Wang Palgrave Macmillan UK, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2012

How China Became Capitalist details the extraordinary, and often unanticipated, journey that China has taken over the past thirty five years in transforming itself from a closed agrarian socialist economy to an indomitable economic force in the international arena. The authors revitalise the debate around the rise of the Chinese economy through the use of primary sources, persuasively arguing that the reforms implemented by the Chinese leaders did not represent a concerted attempt to create a capitalist economy, and that it was 'marginal revolutions' that introduced the market and entrepreneurship back to China. Lessons from the West were guided by the traditional Chinese principle of 'seeking truth from facts'. By turning to capitalism, China re-embraced her own cultural roots. How China Became Capitalist challenges received wisdom about the future of the Chinese economy, warning that while China has enormous potential for further growth, the future is clouded by the government's monopoly of ideas and power. Coase and Wang argue that the development of a market for ideas which has a long and revered tradition in China would be integral in bringing about the Chinese dream of social harmony.

Central to the dynamics of India's post-interventionist era has been the performance of its corporate sector. A lot of hope has been placed on its ability to deliver increased growth rates and levels of 'development'. In the light of this view, the author here examines critically the nature of the Indian corporate sector as a specific socio-historical and political-economic formation. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of corporate profitability in India, its historical roots and its effects on development. Erscheinungsdatum: 04.05.2001

Labour Market Flexibility and Pension Reforms: Flexible Today, Secure Tomorrow? (Work and Welfare in Europe) edited by Karl Hinrichs and Matteo Jessoula Palgrave Macmillan UK, Springer Nature, Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2012

Increasingly flexible labour markets and reforms of old-age pension systems are still ranking high on the political agenda of European countries. This volume investigates whether, and to what extent, the interplay between pension reforms and the spread of 'atypical' employment patterns and fragmented careers has a negative influence uponeconomic security in old age. The volume, therefore, analyzes the flexibility-security nexus by focusing on the post-retirement phase, thus extending the conventional narrow concept of 'flexicurity'. The book also questions whetherreforms of public and private pension schemes compensate or aggravate the risks of increasingly flexible labor markets and atypical employment careers after retirement? Around this overarching research question, the various contributions in the volume employ the same analytical framework in order to map, and then compare, the developments in seven European countries - Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and the UK which present different labour market arrangements and various degrees of flexibility, as well as diverse pension systems.
