Global University Rankings and the Mediatization of Higher Education - Michelle Stack - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Global University Rankings and the Mediatization of Higher Education - Michelle Stack - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Higher Education Institutions simultaneously critique and participate in national and international rankings of universities. However, this creates a difficult situation since if universities do participate in rankings they acquiesce to a system based in media logics that has little to do with academic norms of research. If they do not participate in the rankings they risk losing public funding, students and donors in an increasingly competitive and globalized environment. This book delves into the influence of journalists, business tycoons and multinational corporations in defining what world class is and how it will be measured. Rankings provide us with a rich study for understanding how universities define, deploy and manage their assets and liabilities in a mediatized globalized economy.

The French Voter - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The French Voter - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Why do French voters vote the way they do? In this book, leading international scholars examine this question from many different angles. Special attention is given to the 2002 national elections, when right-wing extremist Le Pen made such a spectacular showing in the presidential contest. Was the first-ballot success of Le Pen based on issues of law and order, ethnicity, nationalism or on the economy? What about the role of the traditional factors of social class, region, religion and left-right ideology? Do the peculiar electoral institutions of the Fifth Republic foster political extremism, or act as a break on it? The French Voter considers these issues both in relation to the 2002 contest and past elections.

Lifestyle Brands - Antonio Marazza - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Lifestyle Brands - Antonio Marazza - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

What do Apple, Patagonia, Virgin and Slow Food have in common? Why do millions of people identify with Nike and idolize Ferrari cars? Why are some brands simply fads that emerge suddenly and then disappear as quickly, while others become part of a lifestyle and are never forgotten? Antonio Marazza, General Manager of Landor Milan, and Stefania Saviolo, Professor at Bocconi University, investigate the reasons why some brands are adopted by people not for what they do, or what they stand for, but for the inspiration they provide. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and empirical observation, this book offers a practical guide to successfully manage authority, cult, icon and lifestyle brands with examples from industries such as automotive, fashion, luxury, design, where symbolic value creation is key.

The Metaphysics of Autonomy - M. Coeckelbergh - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Metaphysics of Autonomy - M. Coeckelbergh - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

If we want to be autonomous, what do we want? The author shows that contemporary value-neutral and metaphysically economical conceptions of autonomy, such as that of Harry Frankfurt, face a serious problem. Drawing on Plato, Augustine, and Kant, this book provides a sketch of how ''ancient'' and ''modern'' can be reconciled to solve it. But at what expense? It turns out that the dominant modern ideal of autonomy cannot do without a costly metaphysics if it is to be coherent.

Motherhood and Disability - O. Prilleltensky - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the intersection between motherhood and physical disability.

What messages do they receive about themselves as women, with or without children? What barriers do they foresee and/or come across? These issues are explored from the vantage point of disabled women with and without children.

Westminster, Governance and the Politics of Policy Inaction - Stephen Barber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Westminster, Governance and the Politics of Policy Inaction - Stephen Barber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book shows how political inaction has shaped the politics, economy and society we recognize today, despite the fact that policymakers are incentivised to act and to be seen to act decisively. Politicians make decisions which affect our lives every day but in our combative Westminster system, are usually only held to account for those which change something. But what about decisions to do nothing? What about policy which is discarded in favour of an alternative? What about opposition for naked political advantage? This book argues that not only is policy inaction an overlooked part of British politics but also that it is just as important as active policy and can have just as significant an impact on society. Addressing the topic for perhaps the first time, it offers a provocative analysis of ‘do nothing’ politics. It shows why politicians are rarely incentivized to do nothing, preferring hyperactivity. It explores the philosophical and structural drivers of inaction when it happens and highlights the contradictions in behavior. It explains why Attlee and Thatcher enjoyed lasting policy legacies to this day, and considers the nature of opposition and the challenge of holding ‘do nothing’ policy decisions to account.

Metaethics - Simon Kirchin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Metaethics - Simon Kirchin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

When we say that sharing is morally good and that murdering is wicked, what are we doing? Are we picking out existing moral values? Can our judgements be correct and incorrect? How do moral values fit into the natural world? Do moral values even exist? How do our moral judgements relate to how we are motivated to act? Metaethics is an argumentative textbook that considers these and other metaethical questions in a lively and clear manner. As well as discussing all of the main metaethical positions, a new idea - metaethical pluralism - is introduced. Chapters cover central topics in the subject, including:• Moral realism: initial thoughts • Moral realism: naturalism and reductionism • Moral error theory • Noncognitivism • Sensibility theory • Moral motivation Metaethics is aimed at upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates, but should appeal to anyone with an interest in the area.

Operating Rules in Organizations - B. Reynaud - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Operating Rules in Organizations - B. Reynaud - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

When economists claim that rules are coordinating devices, they do not explain how those rules operate in the reality of organizational life. Rules do not indicate behaviour, since their most important characteristic is their remoteness from the solution. Thus, rules are merely frameworks for action requiring constant interpretation. This book is grounded in Wittgenstein''s understanding of rules as having significance only in the course of their application. It focuses on two kinds of rules - macroeconomic and microeconomic - through detailed case studies of wage indexation and labour productivity.

Everyday Multiculturalism and `Hidden' Hate - Stevie Jade Hardy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Everyday Multiculturalism and `Hidden' Hate - Stevie Jade Hardy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the lived reality of ''everyday multiculturalism'', and the ways that young people make sense of the diverse world around them. Currently we know very little about how multiculturalism shapes our lives, our interactions and our identity. This is especially pertinent for young people. How do young people from largely white, disadvantaged backgrounds interpret multiculturalism? How do they engage with people from ''different'' minority ethnic and faith communities? How do they negotiate the challenges that arise within ever-diversifying environments? Drawing on empirical research, Stevie-Jade Hardy uncovers the fears and tensions that both undermine, and are caused by, doing multiculturalism. In doing so, she shines a light on the ''hidden'' phenomenon of youth hate crime perpetration. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminology, sociology and cultural studies, as well as to professionals and policy-makers working in the fields of diversity and hate crime.

Japan in Analysis - I. Parker - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Japan in Analysis - I. Parker - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses three key questions: "Why is there psychoanalysis in Japan?", "What do we learn about Japan from its own forms of analysis?", and "What do we learn about ourselves from Japan?" The book is about the development of psychoanalysis and modern subjectivity in Japan. It shows how forms of individual selfhood amenable to therapeutic intervention emerged as Japanese culture has opened up to the West. It is also about how approaches to analysing the self have encountered Japan and how analysts tried to make sense of a culture that once seemed at odds with the aims of psychotherapy.

The Capacity for Civic Engagement - D. Levine - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Capacity for Civic Engagement - D. Levine - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

How do we form a connection to the ideals and institutions of public life? This connection is sometimes expressed in the language of civic engagement, public service, and commitment to the public good. While we do not lack for literature to guide us in thinking about public life, we have less to call on when our problem is not only to explore public ideals and institutions, but also to consider the nature and origin of our capacity to make a connection with and find meaning in those institutions and ideals. Levine explores the nature and origin of this capacity to form a connection and find meaning.
