International Migration Governance and Public Goods (Mobility & Politics)
by James C. Roberts Diego Caballero-VélezThis edited volume will take an expansive view of the “publicness” of both the policies and the effects related to migration, immigration, and refugees. It will include examinations of international systemic factors and local economic factors. Because migration governance varies geographically, the book will be organized by region. It will include chapters on Africa; Australia; New Zealand and the Pacific Islands; Europe; North America; and SouthAmerica. The book will be focused on how public goods theory provides deep understanding of the factors that affect migration governance and on how understanding the public goods nature of migration governance can help develop effective policies for addressing these problems.

African Shakespeare: Subversions, Appropriations, Negotiations (Routledge Studies in African Literature)
by Pepetual Mforbe Chiangong Oliver Nyambi Ifeoluwa Aboluwade Serena TalentoAfrican Shakespeare: Subversions, Appropriations, Negotiations uncovers the multidimensional inventions, synergies, and experimentations that have emerged from performative, political, literary, and conceptual encounters with Shakespeare and his oeuvre in African contexts. Divided into three broad and overlapping parts, the chapters of the book critically explore issues of decoloniality and postcoloniality; nation-building and state corruption; history and memory; gender and feminism; translation and adaptation from diverse theoretical standpoints. The book displaces the emphasis on Shakespeare’s works to productively illuminate the multi-layered significance of African epistemes, politico-aesthetics, languages and socio-cultural realities to the practice and process of literary and theatrical intervention and creation. Building on and extending extant scholarship in the field of African Shakespeare, the contributions in the volume not only enhance knowledge of African Shakespearean creations but also enrich African Studies and Shakespeare Studies by opening up new possibilities for transdisciplinary dialogues and cross-fertilization.The book will be useful for students and scholars of African Theatre and Performance, Cultural Studies, (Global) Shakespeare Studies, Translation and Adaptation Studies and Post-colonial Studies.
The Elections in Israel 2022 (Elections of Israel)
by Gideon Rahat, Noam Gidron and Michal ShamirThe 2022 Israeli elections stand out as a turning point in the country’s political history. Following a period of unprecedented political instability, the right-wing government formed following the elections—Benjamin Netanyahu's sixth government—was the most radical in Israel’s history.This book examines the 2022 Israeli elections through various theoretical perspectives and diverse research designs and data sources. The first part scrutinizes various aspects of Israeli democracy related to the elections. These include ideological and affective polarization, cleavages, voter turnout, involvement of citizens and civil organizations in election campaigns and the nature of the government that was established following the elections. The second part of the book presents studies of parties that participated in the elections: those that declined (Labor), those that ascended (Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit), and those that ascertained their power (United Torah Judaism and Shas). A valuable addition to the Elections in Israel series, the book—written by leading scholars of Israeli politics and society—touches on key themes, including political personalization, polarization, populism, the radical right, party decline and adaptation and democratic backsliding.The book will be of particular interest to students and researchers of Israeli politics and society—especially relating to the events of 2023 and the war in Gaza—as well as to social scientists interested in these political phenomena and their effects on democratic countries worldwide.
Artists, Cosmopolitanism, and the Civic Imagination: Artists as Political Agents (Global Connections)
by Maria RoviscoArtists, Cosmopolitanism, and the Civic Imagination unpacks the political agency of artists by looking at artists as moral, reflexive, and political agents. Do artists play a role in civil society? Can artists “make a difference” in the world? In what ways do artists act politically? To address these questions, this book moves away from a focus on social organisation and the production of art, to ask how artists attach meaning to their interventions in social and political conditions.Maria Rovisco draws from in-depth interviews with UK-based visual artists and theatre practitioners with a migrant background, and semiotic analysis of a theatre play, visual artworks, and film texts, to argue that artists are quintessential cosmopolitans who care deeply about changing society for the better. By explaining how artists get involved in cross-cultural encounters, this book reveals the processes of listening, reflection, imagination, social learning, and moral intentionality through which artists imagine and realise their visions of a better world. In so doing, it offers a new direction in thinking about the intersection of art and politics, by showing how artists play a crucial role in building a civic culture outside traditional sites of political participation.This book will be essential reading for students and scholars across the social sciences and the humanities with interests in migration, citizenship and the public sphere, cultural sociology, media and culture, cosmopolitanism, and art.
A New Approach to Human Social Evolution: Persistence of Ancient Drives in Behaviour and Development
by Jorge A. ColomboThis book provides an important examination into the role of evolution of human traits of dominance as central to understanding social and political events, proposing a new view on human social evolution. It also examines basic biological universal needs and behavioural profiles of non- human living beings, from which humans share essential survival components. It invites readers to think critically about the psychological evolution of the human brain. Using comparative psychology, it argues that the core of human behaviour lies in the ancient, animal, universal set of survival resources hidden under various socialization profiles. However, it generally fails to replace drives of dominance and aggression for physical and social survival. Genuine replacement of those primal behavioural drives would require fundamental neuro- socio- behavioural changes. This book supports the thesis that without education and the promotion of universal values involving environmental protection and individual opportunities to evolve, there will be negative consequences for individuals and communities. This book represents a critical tool for students of behavioural sciences, anthropology, politics, and evolutionary neurosciences, and will also greatly benefit other readers, such as teachers and professional researchers.
Developing High-Impact Course Design Institutes: A Model for Change
by Jordan D. Troisi Michael S. Palmer Mary C. Wright Lori A. Hostetler Carol A. HurneyDrawing on the authors’ extensive experience and robust survey data, this critical resource unpacks the inner workings of one of the most powerful mechanisms for improving teaching and learning in higher education: the course design institute (CDI).CDIs are intensive, often multi-day facilitated experiences where instructors design or redesign a course based on learning-focused and equity-minded teaching and learning principles. This resource offers a comprehensive introduction to CDIs, discussing both key elements and why they are worth the time and investment to design, implement, and assess. The chapters cover the values, structures, and approaches that designers use to develop CDIs, along with evidence of their transformative impact on instructors and institutional teaching cultures. The book also provides institutional leaders the rationale and evidence needed to support investment decisions.Developing High-Impact Course Design Institutes is a playbook providing educational developers with the critical background knowledge and vetted direction needed to launch or refine their own CDIs.
Law, Social Movements and the Politics of the Commons: Cases from the Italian South
by Veronica PecileThis book reinterprets the notion of the commons by tracing how it has been mobilised in the aftermath of economic crisis. In a period of widespread activism against the privatisation of resources and services implemented through austerity policies, the reconceptualisation of property as a non-absolute and non-individualistic institution has attracted a great deal of attention. Drawing on the case of the Italian South, and in the wake of economic crisis, this book offers a critical analysis of the struggle for the commons. More specifically, as it details how discourses, legal tools and policies based on disciplinary ideas of the commons are deployed in the neoliberal restructuring of societies, the book considers how conflicting ideas of the commons express different, and often clashing visions, of urban space. In this regard, moreover, it shows how law plays a central, albeit ambivalent, role in the struggle for the commons: as both a governmental technique to regulate urban space and its residents and as an emancipatory tactic to advance non-proprietary visions of ownership.This book will be of interest to scholars in socio-legal studies, property law, legal sociology and politics, as well as others with more general interests in the critical potential of contemporary social movements.
A Financial Theory of the Business Cycle: Net Present Value and Fractional Reserve Banking (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy)
by Edward W. Fuller Warren YoungA Financial Theory of the Business Cycle presents a new approach to business cycle theory based on the net present value. The book develops a novel diagrammatic approach to illustrate how fractional reserve banking systematically distorts net-present-value calculations. In addition to providing fresh insights, the new diagrammatic approach provides a comparative framework that can be used to compare pre-existing theories, including those of John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and Robert E. Lucas, Jr.The net present value is the most important concept in the theory and practice of modern finance. As such, it is the proper framework for explaining the systematic financial losses that occur during the business cycle. Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk and Irving Fisher developed the modern theory of the net present value, and the financial theory of the business cycle developed in this book is rooted in their tradition. Although financial elements played a central role in their respective theories, Keynes and Hayek did not use the net present value. This failure created problems that still haunt business cycle theory today. This book addresses these problems and attempts to steer financial theories of the business cycle back to the course set by Böhm-Bawerk and Fisher.In addition to macroeconomists, this book will appeal to financial economists, money and banking experts, accountants, financial analysts, and businesspeople generally.
Agricultural and Climate Change Adaptation Law in Africa: Reflections from Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa (Earthscan Food and Agriculture)
by Habib Sani UsmanThis book presents an analysis of climate change and agricultural laws in Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa in order to determine whether they adequately addressed the concept of agricultural adaptation.Agriculture is one of the sectors of the economy that is contributing to climate change, and at the same time the sector is heavily impacted by climate change. Therefore agricultural adaptation is required. Focusing on three countries, this book provides a novel, comparative examination of how and to what extent the law promotes agriculture-focused adaptation in these countries. The role of the law in addressing issues such as water management strategies, soil conservation methods, and crop production methods is discussed. This book identifies gaps in the regulatory frameworks for agricultural adaptation and highlights the lack of adaptive capacity of African agriculture due to weak or non-existing legal frameworks. It discusses ways to remedy these gaps through specific on-farm adaptation strategies, legislative amendments to consolidate all relevant national climate change-related policies and laws with agricultural policies and laws that have relevant provisions on adaptation as medium-term solutions, and the development of a specific framework law for agriculture-focused adaptation, incorporating essential agricultural adaptation strategies, could perhaps be enacted as long-term solutions to the regulatory gaps.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of law, climate change, food and agriculture, sustainable development, and African studies.

A Start-Up's Definitive Guide to Failure: Learning from the Most Common Mistakes Founders Make (Business Guides on the Go)
by Carsten A. Lexa Émilie NolletSeven out of ten start-ups fail. The reasons for failure are well-known. Yet founders often fail to approach the topic of failure with the seriousness and commitment it deserves. This book aims to change that and offers a new approach for founders to “drive their start-up off a cliff.” Structured as a “how-to guide to failure,” it highlights the most common mistakes founders make, explains where they come from, and illustrates them with real-life examples. The goal of the book is to help founders make the “right” mistakes in order to fail more efficiently (and perhaps help them avoid making these mistakes in the first place). The book includes an interview with German “start-up legend” Prof. Günter Faltin.
Low Back Pain and Sciatica: A New Pathogenetic Model and Treatment Principles
by Luigi TesioChronic benign “back pain “, with or without sciatica, is a descriptive diagnosis hiding the mechanisms leading to this symptom. The literature still refers to it as a “non-specific” disease. Not surprisingly, both conservative and invasive treatments are inconsistent and highly subjective. The book aims to highlight the main pathogenetic mechanisms leading to pain based on a thorough analysis of the lumbar spine anatomy and mechanics (including its vascular content) and a selection of published evidence converging towards an original integrated model. The result is a downgrading of back pain from a “non-specific” disease to a symptom and clarifying the underlying causes. The book presents an original pathogenetic model named CoVIn (Compressive-Venous-Inflammatory). The cornerstones of the model are a) the compression of nerve endings within the narrow spinal canal from disc herniation or arthritic spurs, b) local inflammation caused by discal material and/or local phlebitis and -most importantly- c) venous congestion of the Batson (epidural) plexus. The model explains the diversity of the clinical pictures: e.g., pain at rest vs. pain during spinal loading; pain unrelated to the severity of MRI or CT imaging; changes of pain (spontaneous or caused by treatments) with no changes in imaging, and others. Consistent with the model, a few physiotherapy treatments are proposed to widen the spinal canal and decongest local veins. These are “flexor” lumbar exercises, water exercises, and—first choice—Active Lumbar Traction (former “Autotraction”). Treatments targeting pain become a second-choice approach. Surgery is shown to be rational only after conservative treatments fail. Other rare causes of back pain, unrelated to the CoVin model, are overviewed and discussed. The book will interest Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physicians, Physiotherapists, Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Rheumatologists, Neurologists, and Family physicians.
Neuroepigenetics Mechanisms in Health and Disease (Subcellular Biochemistry #108)
by Brigitte Van Zundert Martin MontecinoThe book Neuroepigenetic Mechanisms in Health and Disease provides insight into mechanisms of epigenetic control, focusing on molecular, cellular and integrative aspects of neurobiology. Here, leading investigators in the field discuss in each chapter landmark scientific discoveries and recent advances in (neuro) epigenetics. Whereas some chapters concentrate in overviewing basic epigenetic mechanisms and the power of epigenome editing, other sections of the book discuss epigenetic control during learning and memory as well as in diverse brain related alterations, including neurodegenerative and rare neurologic diseases, and psychiatric disorders. In addition, the book covers relevant topics for modern human societies, including how drug abuse, environmental enrichment and meditation can influence brain function through epigenetic mechanisms. This book aims to serve as a useful source for junior scientists to first learn about the topic, as well as to more experienced researchers that seek for a broader view of this rapidly growing field that is beyond their area of specialization.

Paradoxes of PrEP for HIV Prevention
by Morten SkovdalAvailable open access digitally under CC-BY licence. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a drug taken by HIV-negative people that reduces the risk of getting HIV. Comparing two case studies in Denmark and Zimbabwe, this book demonstrates six paradoxes that users often encounter in navigating their PrEP journey. These paradoxes lead to contentions, uncertainties, dilemmas and ambiguities that need to be carefully and pensively responded to through what the author terms ‘everyday PrEP negotiations’. The social nature and need for such everyday PrEP negotiations help explain why PrEP works for some people and not for others. This book argues that such insight is critical to make PrEP work for more people and to inform social public health responses.
Rethinking Migration: Challenging Borders, Citizenship and Race
by Bridget AndersonAvailable open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Humans have always moved, but across the world ‘migration’ has become a major policy, political and media concern. How can we understand human movement without positioning ‘the migrant’ as a problem? This interdisciplinary collection rethinks migration and movement. It explores mobility beyond the human and across time, from the movement of soil in the Middle Ages to contemporary cow passports. It also examines the histories of international borders and how they are intertwined with the politics of race and nation. The book illustrates that conceptually based, critical and creative thinking is as important for practice as it is for theory and can help us understand and respond to migration as a force that connects rather than divides.
Folk Music and Song in the WPA Ex-Slave Narratives (American Made Music Series)
by John MintonBetween 1937 and 1940 fieldworkers in the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Writers’ Project interviewed around 3,500 formerly enslaved people in North America, resulting in roughly 20,000 pages of still unedited and inadequately indexed typescript. These accounts—the WPA ex-slave narratives—are the most substantial collection by far of folklore and oral history gathered directly from enslaved people in America. It is arguably the single greatest body of African American folklore extant, and a significant portion is devoted to folk music and song. This book considers this treasure trove in all its relevant social, cultural, and historical contexts. Nineteenth-century Black folk music developed against the backdrop of North American slavery, the American Civil War, Emancipation, the Federal occupation of the South, and a successful white supremacist paramilitary and political insurgency that led to Federal withdrawal, officially sanctioned racial terror, and Southern apartheid. The WPA ex-slave narratives describe that history in remarkable detail. Despite their inestimable value, most of the ex-slave narratives remained unpublished until the late 1970s, being almost unknown except to folklorists. Even after publication, the collection’s sheer size was a barrier. Quoting extensively from the narratives and exhaustively annotated and indexed, this volume provides readers with detailed explanations and full references for every musical item or tradition featured in the ex-slave narratives. John Minton covers instrumental music and social dancing, spirituals and hymns, singing games and lullabies, ring plays and reels, worksongs, minstrel songs, ballads, war songs, slavery laments, and much, much more. Written for both specialists and general readers, with 134 illustrations, the book also offers a general overview of the ex-slave narratives, their contents, creation, and relation to the field of African American folklore as a whole.
