Full text
Abstract:
World Music: A Very Short Introduction looks at the history of world music and its many definitions. ‘World music’ is more than a marketing term for the music industry. During the Enlightenment, the idea of the ‘folk song’ encouraged European audiences to imagine music from around the world. Technology helped to create the ‘audio moment’—the transformation of sound into material which could be recorded and distributed worldwide. Throughout history, music has been used to express unity and national pride. World music both foregrounds and transgresses borders. Ideas in different cultures about world music, and indeed about music, are as diverse as ever.

Cameron, Matt. Cockatoos. CSIRO Publishing, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643095588.

Full text
Abstract:
Cockatoos are large, intelligent and attractive birds. Of the 21 recognised species, 14 occur in Australia, with three of these also found in New Guinea. Seven species are distributed across the islands of south-east Asia. While many species are common or abundant, an increasing number face extinction due to habitat loss, the illegal bird trade and global warming. Extensively illustrated, Cockatoos looks at the ecology and conservation of these iconic birds, including their evolution, distribution, movements, feeding and reproduction. It examines the pest status of cockatoos, the impact of the illegal bird trade and the role played by aviculturists in cockatoo conservation programs.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the work undertaken while on the move as an instance of the interplace economy. It considers the interplaces composed of the fixed infrastructures that make mobility possible—the economies associated with railways and railway stations, airports, and roads and exit ramps. It goes on to examine the distributed patterns of work that are prevalent as a result of increased physical and virtual mobility. The chapter has attempted to provide some sense of the economic importance of these interplaces as the largely ‘new’ places associated with fixed infrastructures for trains, planes, and automobiles, on the one hand, and the liminal spaces of transit, on the other hand.

Abstract:
This essay reviews much of the recent scholarship on the concept of agency, delineating its relevance for theorizing an inclusive and progressive ecological politics. Mindful of the intimacy between questions of agency and ontology, the essay urges the advantages of conceptualizing agency as collective, embodied, distributed, and emergent within discursive-material assemblages. In contrast to more traditional approaches that treat agency as a singularly human characteristic, this essay looks to identify agential capacity in both humans and non-humans and the interactions among them. It is argued that such an approach offers greater traction in tracing the discursive-material circuits of power and the theorizing of collective forms of responsibility than do traditional conceptions. The essay concludes with a brief example of wildfire to illustrate the advantages of the recommended approach.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at Bolivia in the 2000s to illustrate what happens when power asymmetry ends up being significantly lower than expected. The result is a negligible expansion of presidential powers. In addition, this chapter expands on the concept of power asymmetry by adding a different—more structural—type of power asymmetry: ethno-demographic and economic resource differences. When political cleavages follow ethnic or economic divisions, it matters how those assets are distributed. In Bolivia, the Opposition was able to counter the rise of the Incumbent’s power by mobilizing its own ethno-demographic and economic assets. The equal matching between the Incumbent and the Opposition forces nearly led Bolivia to civil war. Conflict was averted with the adoption of a final constitutional draft, which realigned table and at-large asymmetries.

Lorino, Philippe. Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914). Edited by Jenny Helin, Tor Hernes, Daniel Hjorth, and Robin Holt. Oxford University Press, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199669356.013.0010.

Full text
Abstract:
Charles Sanders Peirce, the father of pragmatism and of semiotics, proposed a theory of sign that plays a key role in pragmatist philosophy and serves as a foundation for the theory of thought and action. According to Peirce, meaning is non-existent if there is no sign pointing to another sign (mediation). In other words, there is no meaning which does not generate signs from signs, in long teleological chains distributed over time in a certain direction (semiosis). Peirce insists that ‘the woof and warp of all thought is symbols’, that ‘every thought and action is a sign’. This chapter first looks at the biography of Peirce and his intellectual influence before outlining the key concepts of his semiotics—mediation and semiosis—as well as their process orientation. It concludes by discussing the potential role of these concepts in process-oriented organization studies.

Abstract:
During the last decade of the seventeenth century John Locke established himself as a new kind of natural historian of the human mind—describing its powers, classifying its ideas, and tracing the evolution of its faculties. The century that followed saw a flowering of psychological thinking, marked by a rapid distribution of theories from the realm of philosophy across the realm of literature. This chapter finds the traces of that intellectual movement in the work of three literary authors: Laurence Sterne, Samuel Richardson, and Edmund Burke. It finds that Sterne and Burke were less original than Richardson in their speculations, belonging squarely to the Lockeian associationist tradition, but that their sense of cognition as an embodied, distributed process (as opposed to Richardson’s more abstracted idea of the mind’s functions) offers scope to align them with certain aspects of modern cognitive neurology.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 8 discusses how scientific disagreement is, on the whole, good for science and bad for medicine. It covers how it is good for science because it can produce useful criticism, divide cognitive labor, and distribute knowledge, and bad for medicine because expert disagreement typically reduces medical authority, making the practice of medicine too vulnerable to commercial or political interests. In this chapter the case of disagreement over screening mammography guidelines is discussed, to show both the production and the management of disagreement in the medical context. Four general ways of managing disagreement in the medical context are explored. It then looks briefly at a psychiatric case, and finds that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders plays a role in managing dissent in the psychiatric context.

Full text
Abstract:
This book examines how U.S. domestic institutions stand up to global threats and whether intelligence sharing across military and civilian law enforcement barriers is legal. The U.S. Constitution is designed to distribute power in order to prevent its concentration, and in particular, it draws clear lines between the responsibilities of the military and those of civilian law enforcement. But the new global threat paradigm, requiring responses both abroad and at home, calls out for military and civilian intelligence gathering to work in tandem. The Civil-Military Divide: Obstacles to the Integration of Intelligence in the United States looks at historic and legal ramifications of such efforts. Louise Stanton's thought-provoking work sums up the current state of U.S. intelligence gathering at all levels of government. It then looks at the range of recommendations for overhauling our intelligence efforts in the context of the U.S. Constitution to assess what may or may not be constitutionally supportable. At issue are three long-established, often reaffirmed principles: the separation of powers, the federalist system that gives the U.S. government precedence over states, and the separation of the civilian and military sectors.

Jonsson, Jan O., and Carina Mood. Sweden: Child Poverty during Two Recessions. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198797968.003.0011.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter looks at child poverty trends in Sweden across two recessions, the first (severe) 1991–6, and the second (hardly noticeable) 2008–10, using a number of measures. Absolute (bread-line) household income poverty and economic deprivation surged, with some lag, during the first recession, but shrunk steadily as the macro-economy improved up until around 2006, after which there is no trend but temporary fluctuations. Relative income poverty fell somewhat during the earlier recession but has grown since the mid-1990s, mainly because of a more precarious situation for one-parent families and non-employed parents (often immigrants). In a rare but theoretically important step, child poverty is also measured by young people’s own reports, showing few trends between 2000 and 2011. While material conditions improved somewhat, relative poverty did not change, in stark contrast to household relative poverty—perhaps because poor parents distribute more economic resources to their children during hard times.

Simon, Gleeson, and Guynn Randall. Part I Elements of Bank Resolution Regimes, 3 Bank Resolution and Bank Groups. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780199698011.003.0003.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter looks at how the structure of bank groups is factored into the resolution process. In analysing the resolution of banks and other legal entities, a focus on the legal entities alone is a form of false consciousness. Instead, the focus needs to be on resolving the overall financial enterprise of which the bank is a part. By focusing on resolving groups instead of individual legal entities, financial regulatory authorities around the world have developed the single-point-of-entry (SPE) resolution strategy, which has been widely accepted as the most promising solution to the too-big-to-fail problem. When applied to a banking group with a holding company at the top and operating subsidiaries at the bottom, only the top-tier holding company would be put into a bankruptcy or resolution proceeding. The holding company’s assets would then be used to recapitalize the operating subsidiaries, perhaps pursuant to secured capital contribution agreements, and keep them out of their own insolvency or resolution proceedings. The recapitalized group would then be stabilized and its residual value distributed to the failed holding company's stakeholders in satisfaction of their claims.

Abstract:
What is a vaccine and how does it work? How are vaccines made? Who discovered vaccines? What diseases do vaccines prevent, are these vaccines effective, and are they safe? Presenting comprehensive information on a topic that remains the focus of considerable controversy, Vaccines: History, Science, and Issues provides readers with a single-volume examination of vaccines and their history, production, uses, and limitations. Written in language that avoids intimidating medical jargon, this latest addition to Greenwood's Story of a Drug series looks at different types of vaccines and documents the value of vaccination to society. It explains the process of developing a vaccine, the testing required before it can be distributed to the public, and the challenges that arise in manufacturing and distribution, along with potential solutions to some of these problems. Readers will gain insight into vaccination-related topics such as the legal issues surrounding mandatory vaccination, the relationship between vaccines and adverse events, and the government's role in adjudicating claims of damage. The book also includes international recommendations from the World Health Organization and information on vaccines that are available and used outside the United States.

Schanbacher, William D., ed. The Global Food System. ABC-CLIO, LLC, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400657474.

Full text
Abstract:
This detailed analysis of the global food system looks at the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed in an effort to create a more equitable and healthful system worldwide. With large-scale famine afflicting regions around the globe and overconsumption and unhealthy eating habits destroying others, many are beginning to wonder if access to food is less of a class-based social problem and more of an ethical issue affecting the lives—and livelihoods—of people all over the world. This thoughtful text provides a thorough examination of the factors contributing to this global concern, exploring the complexities of international food supply and demand as well as the efforts to bring about a more just global food system. Through this groundbreaking volume, author and educator Will Schanbacher sheds light on flaws in the current structure and suggests ways to achieve a more balanced approach. He considers the economics, politics, and activism behind and involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of the global food system. In an effort to illuminate many problems associated with hunger, inequality, and injustice in the food system, the book also offers many potential strategies and solutions for making a more healthy, sustainable, and equitable world. Chapters contain both theoretical models and concrete practices for food security and offer strategies for creating an equitable system.

Empson, Laura. Leading Professionals. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198744788.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
This book analyses the complex power dynamics and interpersonal politics that lie at the heart of leadership in professional organizations, such as accounting, law, and consulting firms, investment banks, hospitals, and universities. It is based on scholarly research into many of the world’s leading professional organizations across a range of sectors, including interviews with over 500 senior professionals in sixteen countries. Drawing on the latest academic theory to analyse exactly how professionals in organizations come together to create ‘leadership’, it provides new insights into how leaders lead when there is no traditional hierarchy to support them, their own authority is contingent, and they must constantly renegotiate relationships with relatively autonomous professional peers. It explores how leaders persuade highly intelligent, educated, and opinionated professionals to work together; how change happens within professional organizations; and why leaders so often fail. Part I introduces the concept of plural leadership, analysing how leaders establish and maintain their positions within leadership constellations, and the implications for governance in the context of collective or distributed leadership. Part II examines the complex, challenging relationships between professionals as they seek to influence their organizations, including the phenomena of leadership dyads, insecure overachievers, social control, and the rise of the management professional. Part III examines the shifts in the locus of power as professional organizations grow, adapt, and react to external stimuli such as mergers and acquisitions and economic crises. The conclusion identifies the paradoxes inherent in professional organizations and examines the role of leaders in attempting to reconcile them.
