National Conceptualisations of the Body Politic - Andreas Musolff - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

National Conceptualisations of the Body Politic - Andreas Musolff - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book presents the results of a large-scale experiment into interpretations of the metaphor "the Nation as a Body" among 1,800+ respondents from 30 linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In this first account of an empirical study of cross-cultural global metaphor interpretation of that scale, Musolff confirms that the meanings of metaphors are complex, culturally mediated and may differ for senders and recipients. The book provides a historical and cultural map of the traditions underlying differences in how the nation as a body - or, "the body politic" - is understood. Musolff challenges the hypotheses of the universality of "the nation" as a predominantly male-gendered and hierarchically organized concept and, in so doing, puts into question some of the key presuppositions of traditional historical and cognitive approaches to metaphor. For scholars and students of figurative language, the book lays out methodological foundations for cross-cultural metaphor comparison and reveals hidden meaning differences in political metaphor in English as lingua franca.

African Womanhood and Incontinent Bodies - Kathomi Gatwiri - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

African Womanhood and Incontinent Bodies - Kathomi Gatwiri - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book reveals the structures of poverty, power, patriarchy and imperialistic health policies that underpin what the World Health Organization calls the "hidden disease" of vaginal fistulas in Africa. By employing critical feminist and post-colonial perspectives, it shows how "leaking black female bodies" are constructed, ranked, stratified and marginalised in global maternal health care, and explains why women in Africa are at risk of developing vaginal fistulas and then having adequate treatment delayed or denied. Drawing on face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 30 Kenyan women, it paints a rare social portrait of the heartbreaking challenges for Kenyan women living with this most profound gender-related health issue - an experience of shame, taboo and abjection with severe implications for women''s wellbeing, health and sexuality. In absolutely groundbreaking depth, this book shows why research on vaginal fistulas must incorporate feminist understandings of bodily experience to inform future practices and knowledge.

The Japanese Central Banking System Compared with Its European and American Counterparts - Yoshiharu Oritani - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore -

The Japanese Central Banking System Compared with Its European and American Counterparts - Yoshiharu Oritani - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore -

This book uniquely explores the role and governance mechanism of central banks by applying new institutional economics (NIE). Simultaneously, the book tests the analytical viability of NIE when applied to an organization that has both public and private characteristics. Special attention is paid to the Bank of Japan (BOJ) based on the author''s 30 years of work experience and "participant observation" there, touching upon discussion of central bank independence. The book argues that central bank independence cannot be defended solely by law, and a mechanism to eliminate requests from politicians needs to be embedded within the governance structure. The book also provides a comparative analysis between the BOJ and central banks in Europe and the USA. In reviewing the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, it suggests possible measures based on behavioral economics and public choice theory. These theory-based analyses provide useful insights when considering matters such as whether a central bank should issue electronic money or the European system of central banks could be established in Asia.

Long-Term Ecosystem Changes in Riparian Forests - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Long-Term Ecosystem Changes in Riparian Forests - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This open access book presents and analyzes the results of more than 30 years of long-term ecological research in riparian forest ecosystems with the aim of casting light on changes in the dynamics of riparian forests over time. The research, focusing on the Ooyamazawa riparian forest, one of the remaining old-growth forests in Japan, has yielded a number of interesting outcomes. First, it shows that large-scale disturbances afford various trees opportunities for regeneration and are thus the driving force for the coexistence of canopy trees in riparian forests. Second, it identifies changes in reproductive patterns, highlighting that seed production has in fact quantitatively increased over the past two decades. Third, it describes the decline in forest floor vegetation caused by deer grazing and reveals how this decline has affected bird and insect populations. The book illustrates the interconnectedness of phenomena within an ecosystem and the resultant potential for cascade effects and also stresses the need for long-term ecological studies of climate change impacts on forests. It will be of interest to both professionals and academics in the field of forest science.

How Global Capital is Remaking International Education - Hyejin Kim - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

How Global Capital is Remaking International Education - Hyejin Kim - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a first look at transnational education corporations, new firms that operate international schools. The quiet rise of transnational education corporations - or TECs - has implications for education systems around the globe, as corporate interests gain a greater stake in the way schools operate. The story of their ascendance links government policies in one corner of the world with profound effects in others. In the past decade, TECs have burst onto the international schooling scene. Private firms, publicly listed firms, and private equity groups have transformed international education into an industry valued at over USD 30 billion. Nowhere has the impact been stronger and more sudden than in Asia. The top three international education firms with a presence in Asia run more than 20 schools in East and Southeast Asia with another six in India. Each educates tens of thousands of students around the globe and has an annual revenue of over USD 300 million. TECs offer a window onto the creation of new markets and the complex positions of governments in regulating social affairs. This book helps readers to understand who these firms are, what they do and how they have grown.

History of Innovative Entrepreneurs in Japan - Takeo Kikkawa - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

History of Innovative Entrepreneurs in Japan - Takeo Kikkawa - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This is the first Open Access book introducing more than 20 of Japan''s leading innovative entrepreneurs from the 17th century to the present. The author outlines the innovative business models created by entrepreneurs including SoftBank''s Masayoshi Son, Fast Retailing (Uniqlo)''s Yanai Tadashi, Honda''s Soichiro Honda, Sony''s Akio Morita, Panasonic''s Konosuke Matsushita, and Toyota''s Kiichiro Toyoda, as well as their predecessors including Takatoshi Mitsui of Mitsui Zaibatsu, Shibusawa Eiichi of Daiichi Bank. While introducing the innovators, the author also raises three broader questions: 1. Why did Japan industrialize earlier than any other country outside Europe and the United States? 2. Why was Japan able to realize unsurpassed economic growth between the 1910s and the 1980s? 3. Why has Japan''s economy stagnated for more than 30 years since the 1990s? Drawing upon analytical concepts including Schumpeter''s breakthrough innovation, Kirzner''s incremental innovation, and Christensen''s disruptive innovation, the author contends that Japan''s successes were based on unique and systematic breakthrough innovation and an accumulation of incremental innovation, while it later fell victim to a combination of breakthrough innovation from advanced countries and disruptive innovation by developing nations.
