ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: De Lombaerde, Philippe, PUBLISHER: Springer, Global ong>governanceong> is a concern of not only global organisations but also of all indiong>viong>dual states and of regional co-operation agreements among sovereign states. In , the United Nations University has launched UNU-CRIS, a research and training programme on comparative regional integration to study the role of regional integration in global ong>governanceong>. The present first volume of the World Report on Regional Integration is a timely product of the research undertaken at UNU-CRIS. This ong>newong> series of World Reports will certainly contribute to the discussion on the interaction between regional and global ong>governanceong>. And by bringing together ong>insightsong> from different parts of the UN system, in particular the five UN regional economic commissions and UNCTAD, this report will also contribute to a better understanding of the role of regions in the UN. Hans van Ginkel, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Rector of UNU The World Report on Regional Integration brings together a well-balanced mix of economic analysis, facts and political perspectives on the topic of regional integration. The most valuable and unique contribution of this volume is the enhanced clarity it brings to the complex picture of trade and investment integration, the entanglement of which points to the need for more effective regional ong>governanceong> as a building block of multilateral ong>governanceong> in this area. As the worlda (TM)s most dynamic trading region, Asia and the Pacific is a key player in this process, and the UNESCAP secretariat, in its serong>viong>ce to the region, will continue to accord high priority to this policy objective.

European Union Governance

 Karen Heard-Laureote European Union ong>Governanceong> Routledge The European Commission has increasingly focused on the benefits it can derive from the greater participation of organized ciong>viong>l society in its role and actiong>viong>ties. In the face of general decline in public trust in the institutions of government, it facilitated and encouraged ong>newong> channels of access and consultation opportunities as a means to legitimize its position within the European political System. Karen Heard-Laureote's comparative analysis of four European Commission adong>viong>sory forums innovatively investigates the existence of a conflict between the capacities of such forums to deliver standards of good ong>governanceong>. The author questions whether these venues can proong>viong>de efficiency gains ong>viong>a the production of sufficient policy output without delays or deadlocks at reasonable cost and sustain adequate democratic credentials such as legitimacy. This study makes a significiant contribution to its field by pursuing contemporary legitimacy debates asking whether under certain conditions or in certain policy-making contexts, legitimacy and efficiency may be reconciled or become at least partially compatible in European Commission committees. nuovo

Digital Media Revisited: Theoretical and Conceptual

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Liestol, Gunnar / Morrison, Andrew / Rasmussen, Terje, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Arguing that "first encounters" have already applied traditional theoretical and conceptual frameworks to digital media, the contributors to this book call for "second encounters," or a reong>viong>siting. Digital media are not only objects of analysis but also instruments for the development of innovative perspectives on both media and culture. Drawing on ong>insightsong> from literary theory, semiotics, philosophy, aesthetics, ethics, media studies, sociology, and education, the contributors construct ong>newong> positions from which to observe digital media in fresh and meaningful ways. Throughout they explore to what extent interpretation of and experimentation with digital media can inform theory. It also asks how our understanding of digital media can contribute to our understanding of social and cultural change. The book is organized in four sections: Education and Interdisciplinarity, Design and Aesthetics, Rhetoric and Interpretation, and Social Theory and Ethics. The topics include the effects on reading of the multimodal and multisensory aspects of the digital enong>viong>ronment, the impact of practice on the medium of theory, how digital media are dissolong>viong>ng the boundaries between leisure and work, and the impact of cyberspace on established ethical principles.

Co-Creating a Public Philosophy for Future Generations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kim, Tae-Chang / Dator, James / Dator, James A., PUBLISHER: Praeger, When making decisions, governments can and should strive consciously to balance the demands of the present with the needs of future generations. Various advocates for greater governmental foresight have created ong>newong> processes or institutions within existing systems of democratic government. These include long-range planning departments, futures commissions, requirements for future-impact statements on proposed legislation, enong>viong>ronmental protection agencies, and offices of technology assessment. But, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate, much more remains to be done. Some of the provocative questions posed by this book include: What is a public philosophy oriented to the needs of future generations necessary, and why is it necessary? What are the major examples of actual experiments in future-oriented ong>governanceong>? What were their successes and failures, and the reasons for each? And finally, what are the obstacles to future-oriented ong>governanceong>, and how might they be overcome? The authors of the essays in this volume suggest answers based on their extensive experience in working with governments, trying to help them incorporate techniques of foresight into their institutions and practices.

Cultural Theory and Cultural Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Featherstone, Mike, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Recent years have seen a significant reappraisal of the idea of culture within the social sciences, and a growing integration of theoretical concerns between the social sciences and the humanities. Debates over concepts such as postmodernism and cultural globalization have been symptomatic of a broader interdisciplinary interest in the social context of cultural practice. In this book an international cast of eminent theorists examines a series of key questions on the borders of the cultural and the social. Ranging across a broad canvas, the contributors focus on different elements of cultural theory and cultural process: discourse, lifestyle, the emotions, the intelligentsia, social movements, postmodernism. Linking the chapters is a concern with the central role of European social theory in the current reappraisal of culture, and an assessment of its relation to other international traditions. This book, for an interdisciplinary readership, will serve as an outline of key concerns in cultural theory and an insight into the central ong>insightsong> of Theory, Culture and Society. The book is also published as issue 9.1 of Theory, Culture and Society.

Class and Social Development: A New Theory of the Middle

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnson, Dale L., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The essays in this volume expound a ong>newong> theoretical perspective on the formation and function of the middle class. Drawing on currents within Marxism, particularly Marxist structuralism, the essays first re-examine the basic tenets of class structure theory, then develop their own approach and methodology. This approach is then applied to the study of the North American intermediate class. Why is it sometimes liberal and progressive, sometimes a social basis for right-wing reaction?...specialists in Marxist class theory will find it covers most recent developments in analysis and is constructively self-critical.' -- "Reong>viong>ewing Sociology, Vol 3, Issue
