Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Being the public voice of over 180 member organisations across nearly 90 countries La Vía Campesina the global peasant movement has planted itself firmly on the international scene. This book explores the internationalisation of the movement with a specific focus on the engagement of peasants in the processes of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS). Since the reform of the CFS in 2009 civil society actors engage in the policy processes of this UN Committee from a self-designed and autonomous global Civil Society Mechanism. The author sheds light on the strategies tensions debates and reconfigurations arising from rural actors moving between every day struggles in the fields and those of the UN arena. Whereas most theories in the dominant literature on social movements expect them to either disappear or institutionalise in a predetermined pattern the book presents empirical evidence that La Vía Campesina is building a much more sophisticated model. The direct participation of representatives of peasant organisations in the CFS is highlighted as a pioneering example of building a more complex inclusive and democratic foundation for global policy-making. Foreword by Olivier De Schutter United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food (2008-2014). | Peasants Negotiating a Global Policy Space La Vía Campesina in the Committee on World Food Security

Leading the Police A History of Chief Constables 1835–2017

Leading the Police A History of Chief Constables 1835–2017

In 2015 the College of Policing published its Leadership Review with specific reference to the type of leadership required to ensure that the next generation of Chief Constables and their management approach will be fit for purpose. Three key issues were highlighted as underpinning the effective leadership and management of contemporary policing: hierarchy culture and consistency. Yet these are not just relevant to modern policing having appeared as constant features implicitly and explicitly since the creation of the first provincial constabularies in 1835. This collection reviews the history of the UK Chief Constable reflecting on the shifts and continuities in police leadership style practice and performance over the past 180 years critiquing the factors affecting their operational management and how these impacted upon the organization and service delivery of their forces. The individuality of Chief Constables significantly impacts on how national and local strategies are implemented shaping relationships with their respective communities and local authorities. Importantly the book addresses not just the English experience but considers the role of Chief Constables in the whole of the United Kingdom highlighting the extent to which they could exercise autonomous authority over their force and populace. The historical perspective adopted contextualises existing considerations of leadership in modern policing and the extensive timeframe and geographical reach beyond the experience of the Metropolitan force enables a direct engagement with contemporary debates. It also offers a valuable addition to the existing literature contributing to the institutional memory of UK policing. The contributors represent a range of disciplines including history law criminology and leadership studies and some also have practical policing experience. | Leading the Police A History of Chief Constables 1835–2017
