The Routledge Companion to Free Will

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

Questions concerning free will are intertwined with issues in almost every area of philosophy from metaphysics to philosophy of mind to moral philosophy and are also informed by work in different areas of science (principally physics neuroscience and social psychology). Free will is also a perennial concern of serious thinkers in theology and in non-western traditions. Because free will can be approached from so many different perspectives and has implications for so many debates a comprehensive survey needs to encompass an enormous range of approaches. This book is the first to draw together leading experts on every aspect of free will from those who are central to the current philosophical debates to non-western perspectives to scientific contributions and to those who know the rich history of the subject.

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

In 1749 Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Arts and Sciences surprised leading Enlightenment thinkers who had enthusiastically upheld the positive benefits of humanity's technological advance. Voltaire who celebrated the ends of civilization mocked Rousseau's praise for an original creative state of nature in which man enjoyed an optimum level of freedom. Given the unprecedented intrusion of technology into our lives the question raised by Rousseau's critique may be even more pertinent. In this volume of Religion and Public Life contributors address some of the challenges to conventional morality brought on by the technological augmentation of the social structure. John Barker's essay explores how Luciano Floridi's philosophy of technology has complicated the conventional way of determining what ought to receive moral consideration. Fani Zlatarova provides a practical guide for incorporating ethical components into teaching computer technology. Grant Havers explores the controversies surrounding the biogenetic explosion through an examination of the competing philosophical perspectives and Christopher Vassilopolos examines the science-based justification for taking life. Gabriel R. Ricci looks at recent political history in the United States in order to highlight the sometimes uneasy relationship between science and social policy. Volume 37 is a welcome addition to the acclaimed Religion and Public Life series. | Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

The Routledge Handbook of Community Development Research

The Routledge Handbook of Community Development Research

This handbook sets a new research agenda in community development. The contributors redefine existing areas within the context of interdisciplinary research highlight emerging areas for community development related research and provide researchers and post-graduate students with ideas and encouragement for future research activity. To do this the editors have deliberately chosen to frame this book not through a traditional sociological lens of class race and gender but through a Wicked Problems framework. Drawing upon the work of 37 international authors in diverse settings such as West Papua Peru the USA and Australia; and with methodologies equally as diverse from case studies and interviews to the use of music and story-telling this handbook focuses upon five Wicked Problems: forced displacement; family gender and child related violence; indigenous marginalisation; climate change and food security; and human survival in the context of disaster and recovery work. By drawing together leading scholars from community development social work and social policy this handbook provides an up to the minute snapshot of current scholarship as well as signposting several fruitful avenues for future research. This book is both an invaluable resource for both scholars and practitioners and an indispensable teaching tool for use in the classroom and in the field. | The Routledge Handbook of Community Development Research

The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Fourth Earl of Sandwich was First Lord of the Admiralty (for the third time in his long career) from 1771 to 1782. Blamed by the Whig opposition for many of the disasters of the American War he was additionally loaded by 19th-century Whig historians with the false image of a corrupt libertine. It was the publication of these volumes of his correspondence and papers (then in the family home now in the National Maritime Museum) covering the years 1771 to 1782 which restored his reputation as a conscientious and imaginative naval administrator and reformer especially of the dockyards and of the timber question. Without entirely rescuing his status as a strategist they showed very clearly the weaknesses at the heart of the North administration which damaged its handling of the war and undermined Sandwich’s efforts. A fifth volume intended to cover his handling of naval patronage was overtaken by the war. This volume covers August 1770 to March 1778. With this volume a separate booklet was published which was the Corrigenda to Papers relating to the First Dutch War 1652-54 Capt A Dewar. See NRS Volumes 13 17 30 37 41 and 66. | The Private Papers of John Earl of Sandwich 1771-1782 Vol. I

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

For many decades race and racism have been common areas of study in departments of sociology history political science English and anthropology. Much more recently as the historical concept of race and racial categories have faced significant scientific and political challenges philosophers have become more interested in these areas. This changing understanding of the ontology of race has invited inquiry from researchers in moral philosophy metaphysics epistemology philosophy of science philosophy of language and aesthetics. The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race offers in one comprehensive volume newly written articles on race from the world’s leading analytic and continental philosophers. It is however accessible to a readership beyond philosophy as well providing a cohesive reference for a wide student and academic readership. The Companion synthesizes current philosophical understandings of race providing 37 chapters on the history of philosophy and race as well as how race might be investigated in the usual frameworks of contemporary philosophy. The volume concludes with a section on philosophical approaches to some topics with broad interest outside of philosophy like colonialism affirmative action eugenics immigration race and disability and post-racialism. By clearly explaining and carefully organizing the leading current philosophical thinking on race this timely collection will help define the subject and bring renewed understanding of race to students and researchers in the humanities social science and sciences. | The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

Since the 9/11 attacks the world has witnessed the creation of both domestic and international legal instruments designed to disrupt and interdict the financial activities of terrorists. This book analyses the counter-terrorist financing law (CTF) policy and practice at the national level focusing on Turkey. The work examines the limits and capabilities of CTF efforts on terrorism threats and determines the effectiveness of CTF efforts in Turkey a country which has a pivotal role in terms of countering terrorism regionally and internationally. The Turkish case-study is supported by an empirical study involving 37 semi-structured interviews with CTF practitioners and law enforcement experts with different affiliations and backgrounds. The findings illustrate that Turkey’s CTF system has not obtained an adequate level of effectiveness as a result of lack of proper implementation of its policy in the bureaucratic legal and operational spheres. It is evident that the administrative and legal systems in Turkey are established according to the ‘one-size-fits-all’ international CTF standards and thus are compliant with the international CTF benchmarks yet the interviews reveal significant challenges at the implementation level including lack of training and financial security heavy handed bureaucracy inadequate coordination and communication between international and national levels. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics students and policy-makers working in the areas of financial crime and terrorism. | Counter-Terrorist Financing Law and Policy An analysis of Turkey

The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding

The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding

Some of philosophy’s biggest questions both historically and today are in-virtue-of questions: In virtue of what is an action right or wrong? In virtue of what am I the same person my mother bore? In virtue of what is an artwork beautiful? Philosophers attempt to answer many of these types of in-virtue-of questions but philosophers are also increasingly focusing on what an in-virtue-of question is in the first place. Many assume at least as a working hypothesis that in-virtue-of questions involve a distinctively metaphysical kind of determinative explanation called “ground. ” This Handbook surveys the state of the art on ground as well as its connections and applications to other topics. The central issues of ground are discussed in 37 chapters all written exclusively for this volume by a wide range of leading experts. The chapters are organized into the following sections:I. HistoryII. Explanation and DeterminationIII. Logic and StructureIV. ConnectionsV. ApplicationsIntroductions at the start of each section provide an overview of the section’s contents and a list of Related Topics at the end of each chapter points readers to other germane areas throughout the volume. The resulting volume is accessible enough for advanced students and informative enough for researchers. It is essential reading for anyone hoping to get clearer on what the biggest questions of philosophy are really asking. | The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding

Handbook of Research on STEM Education

Handbook of Research on STEM Education

The Handbook of Research on STEM Education represents a groundbreaking and comprehensive synthesis of research and presentation of policy within the realm of science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. What distinguishes this Handbook from others is the nature of integration of the disciplines that is the founding premise for the work – all chapters in this book speak directly to the integration of STEM rather than discussion of research within the individual content areas. The Handbook of Research on STEM Education explores the most pressing areas of STEM within an international context. Divided into six sections the authors cover topics including: the nature of STEM STEM learning STEM pedagogy curriculum and assessment critical issues in STEM STEM teacher education and STEM policy and reform. The Handbook utilizes the lens of equity and access by focusing on STEM literacy early childhood STEM learners with disabilities informal STEM socio-scientific issues race-related factors gender equity cultural-relevancy and parental involvement. Additionally discussion of STEM education policy in a variety of countries is included as well as a focus on engaging business/industry and teachers in advocacy for STEM education. The Handbook’s 37 chapters provide a deep and meaningful landscape of the implementation of STEM over the past two decades. As such the findings that are presented within provide the reader with clear directions for future research into effective practice and supports for integrated STEM which are grounded in the literature to date.

State-Owned Enterprises in the Global Economy

State-Owned Enterprises in the Global Economy

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) combine economic activities resulting from their position on the market with non-economic functions determined by the state owner. In many of the world’s major economies SOEs play an important role and in some such as China India Russia and Brazil they are outright dominant. At the same time the existence of SOEs is largely ignored by economic theory and the current figures on SOEs on a global scale available in the literature are questionable in terms of their methodological validity and thus they do not allow for a proper cross-country analysis. This book fills this research gap. It focuses on the scope and importance of SOEs in a broad group of the largest economies primarily on a variety of quantitative estimates. It contains the results of an extensive and unique empirical study of 37 of the world’s largest economies over the period from 2009 to 2018. The findings showed that the average share of SOEs – measured by operating revenues and total assets – in the group of the largest 100 enterprises (Top 100) of a given country is nearly 30% while in the Top 20 group it is even slightly higher. The authors present an econometric analysis showing the relationship between the scope of SOEs and the various economic and non-economic characteristics of the studied set of countries. The book also contains an in-depth discussion of selected key issues such as the functions of SOEs in various types of economies the role of SOEs in capital markets and the phenomenon of SOEs with foreign capital. This work is addressed to both academic economists dealing with macroeconomics and economic policy as well as researchers and analysts from various international organizations and think-tanks. | State-Owned Enterprises in the Global Economy

The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party

The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party

Historians of political history are fascinated by the rise and fall of political parties and for twentieth-century Britain most obviously the rise of the Labour Party and the decline of the Liberal Party. What is often overlooked in this political development is the work of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) which was a formative influence in the growth of the political Labour movement and its leaders in the late nineteenth century and the early to mid-twentieth century. The ILP supplied the Labour Party with some of its leading political figures such as Ramsay MacDonald and moved the Labour Party along the road of parliamentary socialism. However divided over the First World War and challenged by the Labour Party becoming socialist in 1918 it had to face the fact that it was no longer the major parliamentary socialist party in Britain. Although it recovered after the First World War rising to between 37 000 and 55 000 members it came into conflict with the Labour Party and two Labour governments over their gradualist approach to socialism. This eventually led to its disaffiliation from the Labour Party in 1932 and its subsequent fragmentation into pro-Labour pro-communist and independent groups. Its new revolutionary policy divided its members as did the Abyssinian crisis the Spanish Civil War and the Moscow Show Trials. By the end of the 1930s seeking to re-affiliate to the Labour Party it had been reduced to 2 000 to 3 000 members was a sect rather than a party and had earned Hugh Dalton’s description that it was the ‘ILP flea’. In the following monograph Keith Laybourn analyses the dynamic shifts in this history across 25 years. This scholarship will prove foundational for scholars and researchers of modern British history and socialist thought in the twentieth century. | The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party
