Agency Security and Governance of Small States A Global Perspective

Agency Security and Governance of Small States A Global Perspective

Agency Security and Governance of Small States examines what seems to be a defining paradox of Small-State Studies: the simultaneous coexistence (and possible co-dependence) of vulnerability and opportunity related to small-state size. This book analyses small states within the framework of this apparent paradox. Traditionally Small-State Studies has focused on three guiding questions: what constitutes a ‘small state’? What explains small-state influence in global affairs? Are small states truly vulnerable to security threats given the expansion of multilateralism and regionalism throughout the world? This book contends that new questions should be asked which recognise the important shifts in twenty-first century security paradigms to better understand how some states deploy their smallness as a resource for agency in supranational contexts. By varying historical geographical security and governance contexts the book embraces a most-different-cases approach. The historical perspective is often neglected in Small-State Studies but contributes to understanding how small states have often over time transformed perceived insecurity into agency. By focusing on different world regions the authors enable the comparative analysis of collective actions and the creation and implementation of institutions for ‘common sense purposes’ within a geographical region. Of particular contemporary importance the book includes contributions which contend with hard-security issues alongside other soft-security challenges. The comparison of case studies confirms that hard-security vulnerability and soft-security opportunities seem to be two sides of the same coin which reinforces the book’s focus on small-state paradoxes and raises the question of whether smallness can be considered the defining characteristic of governance in these countries. This book will have a broad appeal because of the different world regions it analyses. It will be of interest to postgraduate students scholars and researchers of international relations security sustainability governance development and political economy as well as Small-State Studies.

Learner-Centred Pedagogy in the Global South Pupils and Teachers’ Experiences

Learner-Centred Pedagogy in the Global South Pupils and Teachers’ Experiences

Learner-Centred Pedagogy in the Global South: Pupils and Teachers’ Experiences shines light on learner-centred pedagogy (LCP) which has gained popularity within global and national governments albeit resulting in puzzling and inconsequential appropriation. Nozomi Sakata draws on award-winning research on learner centred pedagogy conducted in Tanzania that looks to shift the focus from teachers and teaching to students and learning. The recent spread of LCP through global policy discourse meets Tanzania’s historical and contemporary (in)compatibility in local schools. The book explores how pupils’ perceived classroom experiences are formed through pedagogical elements beyond the classroom. It also enquires into how observable LCP activities and/or pupils’ perceptions of classroom practices relate to their academic performance and learning attitudes. The book highlights the multidimensionality of pedagogy and the need to consider multiple viewpoints from both teachers and pupils and to consider the historical and socio-cultural contexts in any pedagogical research. This book will be of value to researchers and students interested in pedagogy policy transfer and education reforms in the global South.

Inside MTV

Inside MTV

MTV is the third major breakthrough in music broadcasting and the first since the late 1960s. Top Forty radio was initiated in the 1950s and along with free form or progressive rock molded rock music exposure for nearly twenty years. Many observers credit MTV with resurrecting the music industry from the throes of the Great Depression of 1979. Few would dispute its impact on contemporary film fashion and radio. Inside MTV examines the world of cablecasting the evolution of WASEC MTV VH-1 and some of their competitors. The strategies personalities promotions and the contents that placed MTV on the road to its dominant position are described. The many controversies surrounding the channel are thoroughly detailed and a good deal of the misinformation on the subject is corrected. It is a mere five years since MTV began as the third of four Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) channels created by two of America's largest conglomerates. Since then it has become a major force. Before MTV was conceived the relationship between television and rock music was weak at best. As the new partnership . developed a story of genius luck and discrimination began to unfold and a corporate innovation of major proportions and psychodemographic success emerged. MTV is now the most profitable 24-hour cable outlet beamed from a satellite. It reaches 30. 8 million households. How all this happened is chronicled in this major new book from a leading authority on the American music business.

Defensive Federalism Protecting Territorial Minorities from the Tyranny of the Majority

Defensive Federalism Protecting Territorial Minorities from the Tyranny of the Majority

Defensive Federalism presents an original contribution to the field of federalism and multinational democracies exploring the concept of defensive federalism as a protection of self- government against the tyranny of the majority. The empirical evidence on federal and regional polities often shows critical imbalances in the territorial division of powers beyond what has been formally established in the constitutional rules. This volume highlights the rights institutions decision- making processes and procedural rules that can protect and develop the practical political economic and cultural powers of federated and regional entities especially those linked to territorial national minorities. The authors focus on federalism as a safeguard of self- rule as well as a set of institutional and procedural rules to avoid the territorial dimension of the tyranny of the majority. They answer two fundamental questions: how is it possible to design new stable and fairer federal agreements between national minorities and majorities where there is no single ideal solution? Is there a need for a new kind of defensive federal model for approaching national pluralism in liberal democracies? This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of federalism national diversity and democracy as well as policymakers and practitioners in both public and private institutions.

Transitional Justice in Aparadigmatic Contexts Accountability Recognition and Disruption

Transitional Justice in Aparadigmatic Contexts Accountability Recognition and Disruption

This book explores the practical and theoretical opportunities as well as the challenges raised by the expansion of transitional justice into new and ‘aparadigmatic’ cases. The book defines transitional justice as the pursuit of accountability recognition and/or disruption and applies an actor-centric analysis focusing on justice actors’ intentions of and responses to transitional justice. It offers a typology of different transitional justice contexts ranging from societies experiencing ongoing conflict to consolidated democracies and includes chapters from all types of aparadigmatic contexts. This covers transitional justice in states with contested political authority shared political authority and consolidated political authority. The transitional justice initiatives explored by the wide range of contributors are those of Afghanistan Belgium France Greenland/Denmark Libya Syria Turkey/Kurdistan UK/Iraq US and Yemen. Through these aparadigmatic case studies the book develops a new framework that appropriate to its expanding reach allows us to understand the practice of transitional justice in a more context-sensitive bottom-up and actor-oriented way which leaves room for the complexity and messiness of interventions on the ground. The book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in the broad field of transitional justice as represented in law criminology politics conflict studies and human rights.

The Elections in Israel 2019–2021

The 16th book in The Elections in Israel series this book covers an extraordinary political event of having four national elections in two years which were much (but not all) about one person King Bibi. Analyzing Israel’s national elections from 2019 to 2021 this book argues the four elections became to a large extent a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu the incumbent prime minister and head of the Likud party facing investigations a hearing and indictment on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. Thus the first part of the book is dedicated to political personalization and to Netanyahu himself. The second part of the volume covers the traditional actors in parliamentary elections: voters parties and the mass media. The book relies on empirical analysis including extensive use of the Israel National Election Studies data; on theoretical rigor; and on the contextualization of the elections from comparative and long-term perspectives. The book should interest students and researchers of Israeli politics and society electoral studies and the crisis of democracy more generally. Many chapters will be of interest to political science communications and sociology students and scholars who study themes that are prominent on the academic and public agenda including political personalization and personalized politics populism party decline and democratic backsliding.

Disability Diversity and Inclusive Education in Haiti Learning Exclusion and Educational Relationships in the Context of Crises

Disability Diversity and Inclusive Education in Haiti Learning Exclusion and Educational Relationships in the Context of Crises

This book examines disability diversity and schooling exclusion in Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. Defending a social and anthropological conception of disability as a consequence of any situation that makes a subject uncomfortable and unable to live or act properly the book explores the difficulties that disabled children face within the school system and considers how social exclusion provokes and exacerbates educational exclusion. With contributions from linguists educational sociologists educational psychologists educators and historians the chapters focus on a range of phenomena such as the balance of languages used for teaching gender equity associated disorders and the experiences of left-handed and deaf students. Ultimately the authors demonstrate how the educational relationships built and practiced in school influence the perceptions of people with disabilities with respect to both singular contexts and pedagogical practices. As such it represents an important study of the relationship between school exclusion disability and those with precarious socio-familial conditions and how they can be conceptualized and addressed in the context of crises. It will appeal to scholars researchers and academics with interests in diversity and inclusive education pedagogy crisis education and educational psychology.
