Humanities Computing - W. Mccarty - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Humanities Computing - W. Mccarty - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Humanities Computing provides a rationale for a computing practice that is of and for as well as in the humanities and the interpretative social sciences.

It strengthens current practice by stimulating debate on the role of the computer in our intellectual life, and outlines an agenda for the field to which individual scholars across the humanities can contribute.

Net Benefit - W. Rowan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Net Benefit - W. Rowan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the possible creation and impact of electronic markets underpinned by government. How far could electronic trade go? The author outlines a world in which open online marketplaces are routinely used to trade everything from office space to bicycle rental between individuals. Each transaction would be guaranteed by the system, not the reputation of the seller. Anyone could enter the market as an equal. The author argues that the electronic marketplaces of the future will have widespread and fundamental economic and social consequences.

Black Religion - W. Hart - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Black Religion - W. Hart - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Black Religion explores the complexity of the black spiritual imagination using the autobiographies of three prominent religious leaders. Looking at Malcolm X''s journey from Christianity to Islam, social parasite to "race man," libertine to ascetic, Hart delves into the spiritual dimensions of Malcolm X''s life. Hart then examines the affinities between Malcolm''s spiritual journey and the journeys of Julius Lester and Jan Willis-none of whom conform to standard expectations of what it means to be a black person and a religious person. Hart argues that the Muslim, Judaic, and Buddhist commitments of these autobiographers show that the black spiritual imagination-religious, political, and personal-cannot be limited to the standard narrative of Black Religion, nor can spirituality be limited to religion.

Constructing Regional Security - W. Durch - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Constructing Regional Security - W. Durch - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In this book William Durch examines conventional weapons proliferation since World War II, the role of arms transfers in fueling regional conflict, and prospects for curbing the global arms trade. Noting that supply side arms control efforts, which seek to constrain the companies and countries that produce and distribute major conventional weapons, have a poor international track record, Durch argues for a broader approach that tries to get at the demand side of the equation. Addressing the political and regional dynamics that impel arms acquisitions, he looks at how arms control might be combined with confidence and security-building measures to contain demand, and how value-based arms trade control measures like ''codes of conduct'' could be implemented in stepwise fashion consistent with US national interests in regional stability.

Included in this edition are Yeats''s notes complemented by explanatory notes from the esteemed Yeats scholar Richard J.Finneran.

A Changing United Nations - W. Knight - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Changing United Nations - W. Knight - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The United Nations is at a critical juncture. It is faced with two distinct choices: to remain a ''decision frozen in time'' or to develop a long-term adaptation agenda (and strategy) that would allow it to be a relevant institution of global governance for the twenty-first century. Reform and reflexive institutional adjustments have failed to address underlying problems facing this organization. After fifty-five years of existence it is still considered an inefficient and ineffective world body. Worse yet, its relevance is being questioned. This study offers a critique of existing UN change processes and then shifts focus to considerations of institutional learning strategies that would allow the UN to maintain relevance amidst the evolution of global governance arrangements.

Labour Rights in Crisis - W. Boehning - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Innovatively linking actual implementation to ratification of International Labour Office (ILO) Core Conventions, the author develops a new method and uses unexploited data from the ILO''s supervisory system to rate the achievement of basic human rights in the world of work - freedom of association and freedom from forced labour, child labour and discrimination - for 159 countries during the period 1985-2003.
