Thinker, Faker, Spinner, Spy: Coporate PR and the Assault on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dinan, William / Miller, David, PUBLISHER: Pluto Press (UK), Bringing together leading activists and writers from the US and beyond, this book unmasks the covert and undemocratic world of corporate spin. Wherever big business is threatened, spin doctors, lobbyists, think tanks and front groups are on hand to push the corporate interest, often at the public's expense. The public relations industry is not just about celebrity gossip. The authors show how PR techniques are in use across a wide range of political fields, driven by corporate interests. They reveal the secrets of the PR trade including deception, the use of fake "institutes," spying and dirty tricks. The impact can be devastating--when the public is denied access to the truth, the results are rising inequality and environmental catastrophe. The book exposes the misdeeds of famous companies including BP, Coca Cola, British Aerospace, Exxon and Monsanto. It also reveals startling new information about the covert funding of various apparently independent think tanks and institutes. What can we do about it? The authors offer a guide to concrete campaigns that will help to roll back corporate power and show us how to raise awareness about resisting deceptive PR.

Government for the Future Cea 238unification Fragmentation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andersson, Ake E. / Harsman, B. / Quigley, J. M., PUBLISHER: Emerald Group Publishing, The aim of this volume is to encourage comparative explorations of the links between economic regionalism and government behaviour. At present, the relation between government and the economy is in a state of flux. In the old "developed" world, supranational organizations such as the EU and the WTO, are exerting more influence over economic life. Simultaneously, regional governments have emerged to provide public services to local populations. In some European countries, economic decision making is no longer in the power of the nation state, but has been transfered to international and local organizations. The papers in this volume have been contributed by a broad range of policy makers, journalists, and academics. Theories of the public sector are reviewed, restructured and extended, in order to cover the new spatial and dynamic situation. The volume provides historical and institutional perspectives on the public sector, and presents empirical case studies of the public sectors in Sweden, USA, Belgium, Malaysia, England and Singapore.

Double Agent: The Critic and Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickstein, Morris, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.

By Popular Demand

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gastil, John, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, John Gastil challenges conventional assumptions about public opinion, elections, and political expression in this persuasive treatise on how to revitalize the system of representative democracy in the United States. Gastil argues that American citizens have difficulty developing clear policy interests, seldom reject unrepresentative public officials, and lack a strong public voice. Our growing awareness of a flawed electoral system is causing increased public cynicism and apathy. The most popular reforms, however, will neither restore public trust nor improve representation. Term limits and campaign finance reforms will increase turnover, but they provide no mechanism for improved deliberation and accountability. Building on the success of citizen juries and deliberative polling, Gastil proposes improving our current process by convening randomly selected panels of citizens to deliberate for several days on ballot measures and candidates. Voters would learn about the judgments of these citizen panels through voting guides and possibly information printed on official ballots. The result would be a more representative government and a less cynical public. America has a long history of experimentation with electoral systems, and the proposals in "By Popular Demand" merit serious consideration and debate.

Ion Beam Synthesis and Processing of Advanced Materials:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moss, S. C. / Heinig, K-H / Poker, D. B., PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The nonequilibrium processes associated with ion-solid interactions offer a great potential to synthesize and modify advanced materials. Recent progress in ion-beam synthesis and processing has allowed the development of advanced materials with properties designed and tailored specifically for their applications. The progress is assisted by an improved understanding of basic physics and chemistry. The design and interpretation of experimental work is supported by modeling and predictive simulations, both from the atomistic and the nonequilibrium thermodynamics viewpoints. This volume focuses on those properties of advanced materials that are uniquely suited to modification and improvement by ion beans, for example, electrical, optical, magnetic and structural properties, surface hardness, and nanofabrication.

Performance and Appropriation: Profane Rituals in Gardens

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Conan, Michel, PUBLISHER: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library & Collection, Breaking with the idea that gardens are places of indulgence and escapism, these studies of ritualized practices reveal that gardens in Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Caribbean have in fact made significant contributions to cultural change. This book demonstrates methods and the striking results of garden reception studies. The first section explores how cultural changes occur, and devotes chapters to public landscapes in the Netherlands, seventeenth-century Parisian gardens, Freemason gardens in Tuscany, nineteenth-century Scottish kitchen gardens, and the public parks of Edo and modern Tokyo. The second part provides striking examples of construction of self in vernacular gardens in Guadeloupe and American Japanese-style gardens in California. Finally, the third section analyzes struggles for political change in gardens of Yuan China and modern Britain.
