Ethnicity and Inequality in China

Ethnicity and Inequality in China

This book analyses the behaviour of ethnic minority groups in China using the first comprehensive national dataset dedicated to capturing the socio-economic profile of ethnic minorities: the China Household Ethnicity Survey (CHES). Managing ethnic diversity in China has become an increasingly important subject especially against the backdrop of the nation’s rampant economic growth and changing institutional behaviour. The book has an analytical interest in looking at the benefactors of China’s growth from an ethnic group dimension and notably how the economic life of the 55 ethnic minority groups compares to the Han majority. It’s one of the first publications to capture the heterogeneity of ethnic minority groups’ socio-economic experience through intersectional analysis and multi-disciplinary approaches. Contributing factors in explaining ethnic minorities’ experiences in the urban labour market are also considered: from how linguistic capital and migration patterns vary for ethnic minorities to the effects of pro-rural policies. Underpinning these are questions about the extent to which happiness and discrimination impact the economic life of ethnic minorities. Ethnicity and Inequality in China will prove an invaluable resource for students and scholars of economics sociology and contemporary Chinese Studies more broadly.

Water Infrastructure

Water Infrastructure

Water infrastructure is an essential element in water management. Together with institutions policies and regulation it provides basic services to growing populations especially in developing countries where much of the growth is taking place. In the Asia-Pacific region for instance populations are growing not only in size but also in affluence straining further the existing infrastructure and demanding urgently the development of a new one. While 79% of total water use in Asia occurs in agriculture the fastest increases in demand are emanating from industry and from urban areas. This trend is a natural consequence of the fastest industrialization and urbanization process in history. By 2030 more than 55% of Asia’s population will live in urban areas an increase of 1. 1 billion people. Nevertheless water infrastructure is of concern not only in the global South but also in the North where much of the drinking-water infrastructure needs upgrading or replacement a significant undertaking as infrastructure is more than a hundred years old in many cases. The American Water Works Association estimates that changing all of the water pipes in the United States would cost more than USD 1 trillion. In this book in-depth case studies on water infrastructure challenges and policy solutions are presented from different parts of the world. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

This book explores how bauxite mining has affected local and national political dynamics in Guinea over the past 55 years providing an overview of mining interactions with social economic and political spheres. Guinea is amongst the world’s top producers of bauxite and the country’s rich mineral presence has numerous implications on local communities and national policy. Guinea is an interesting and highly relevant case study in assessing the impact of bauxite mining on regime stability and social insecurity. The author offers a clear understanding of the role of mining during the Touré and Conté regimes and analyses how changes since the election of Condé in 2010 have affected the socio-political and economic development of Guinea. The author also offers analysis on how bauxite mining has led to the emergence of new forms of social contracts sustained by mining companies instead of the state. Finally the book argues that understanding the stabilising and destabilising potential of mining is key to ensuring long-term sustainable stable and inclusive growth of mineral-resource-rich countries. The book concludes by highlighting the relevance of the findings in Guinea for the wider African extractives sector. The book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars including those working in the areas of African studies political science political economy sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. The book will be relevant for academics business actors NGOs policy-makers and students interested in the African mining sector. | Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering

The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering

Engineering has always been a part of human life but has only recently become the subject matter of systematic philosophical inquiry. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering presents the state-of-the-art of this field and lays a foundation for shaping future conversations within it. With a broad scholarly scope and 55 chapters contributed by both established experts and fresh voices in the field the Handbook provides valuable insights into this dynamic and fast-growing field. The volume focuses on central issues and debates established themes and new developments in: Foundational perspectives Engineering reasoning Ontology Engineering design processes Engineering activities and methods Values in engineering Responsibilities in engineering practice Reimagining engineering The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering will be of value for both students and active researchers in philosophy of engineering and in cognate fields (philosophy of technology philosophy of design). It is also intended for engineers working both inside and outside of academia who would like to gain a more fundamental understanding of their particular professional field. The increasing development of new technologies such as autonomous vehicles and new interdisciplinary fields such as human-computer interaction calls not only for philosophical inquiry but also for engineers and philosophers to work in collaboration with one another. At the same time the demands on engineers to respond to the challenges of world health climate change poverty and other so-called wicked problems have also been on the rise. These factors together with the fact that a host of questions concerning the processes by which technologies are developed have arisen make the current Handbook a timely and valuable publication.

We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

Charles A. Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution was a work of such powerful persuasiveness as to alter the course of American historiography. No historian who followed in studying the making of the Constitution was entirely free from Beard's radical interpretation of the document as serving the economic interests of the Framers as members of the propertied class. Forrest McDonald's We the People was the first major challenge to Beard's thesis. This superbly researched and documented volume restored the Constitution as the work of principled and prudential men. It did much to invalidate the crude economic determinism that had become endemic in the writing of American history. We the People fills in the details that Beard had overlooked in his fragmentary book. MacDonald's work is based on an exhaustive comparative examination of the economic biographies of the 55 members of the Constitutional Convention and the 1 750 members of the state ratifying conventions. His conclusion is that on the basis of evidence Beard's economic interpretation does not hold. McDonald demonstrates conclusively that the interplay of conditioning or determining factors at work in the making of the Constitution was extremely complex and cannot be rendered intelligible in terms of any single system of interpretation. McDonald's classic work while never denying economic motivation as a factor also demonstrates how the rich cultural and political mosaic of the colonies was an independent and dominant factor in the decision making that led to the first new nation. In its pluralistic approach to economic factors and analytic richness We the People is both a major work of American history and a significant document in the history of ideas. It continues to be an essential volume for historians political scientists economists and American studies specialists. | We the People The Economic Origins of the Constitution

Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

The importance of the Prime Minister in British foreign policy decision-making has long been noted by historians. However while much attention has been given to high-level contacts between leaders and to the roles played by the premiers themselves much less is known about the people advising and influencing them. In providing day-to-day assistance to the Prime Minister a Private Secretary could wield significant influence on policy outcomes. This book examines the activities of those who advised prime ministers from Winston Churchill (1951–55) to Margaret Thatcher during her first administration (1979–83). Each chapter considers British foreign policy and assesses the influence of the specific advisers. For each office holder particular attention is paid to a number of key themes. Firstly their relationship with the Prime Minister is considered. A strong personal relationship of trust and respect could lead to an official wielding much greater influence. This could be especially relevant when an adviser served under two different leaders often from different political parties. It also helps to shed light on the conduct of foreign policy by each premier. Secondly the attitudes towards the adviser from the Foreign Office are examined. The Foreign Office traditionally enjoyed great autonomy in the making of British foreign policy and was sensitive to encroachments by Downing Street. Finally each chapter explores the role of the adviser in the key foreign policy events and discussions of the day. Covering a fascinating 30-year period in post-war British political history this collection broadens our understanding of the subject and underlines the different ways influence could be brought to bear on government policy. | Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

Launching the First-Year Experience Movement The Founder's Journey

Launching the First-Year Experience Movement The Founder's Journey

“As an archetypal student success higher-educator myself I did not enter this profession intentionally…. But my life experiences did prepare me to be very successful at this work. So what are those experiences and types of knowledge insight skills that equip one to do this kind of work? This book is about encouraging the next generation of successors to use their experiences to become equity warriors within the system. ” - John N. GardnerThis book argues that today more than ever we need new and more student success leaders to step forward to make the changes that students need and it offers the story of one such leader in the belief that it will help others see how they can make their own contribution to this movement. The author relates a story about events and individuals that launched a national and international movement to enable many more college students to proceed beyond the beginning college experience and complete the credential they are seeking. It is also the author’s personal history – how he ended up spending his whole life in college and how college can make us wiser and more successful than when we started the journey. John Gardner brings 55 years of professional experience to telling this story. He begins with the story of how colleges can and do introduce students to life changing perspectives and ideas. In Gardner’s case it was a matter of being introduced to the question: “what is justice?” and then spending his entire professional life seeking ways to bring justice to underserved college students by making changes from the inside of the higher education system. An on-line compendium accompanies this book which includes prompts for guided reflection and questions and topics for discussion as well as additional material on the author’s background and personal philosophy. | Launching the First-Year Experience Movement The Founder's Journey

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

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The established canon of architectural pedagogy has been predominantly produced within the Northern hemisphere and transposed – or imposed – across schools within the Global South more often with scant regard for social economic political or ecological culture and context nor regional or indigenous pedagogic principles and practices. Throughout the Global South architecture’s academic community has been deeply affected by this regime how it shapes and influences proto-professionals and by implication architectural processes and outcomes too. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South resituates and recenters an array of pedagogic approaches that are either produced or proliferate from the ‘Global South’ while antagonizing the linguistic epistemological and disciplinary conceits that under imperialist imperatives ensured that these pedagogies remained maligned or marginalized. The book maintains that the exclusionary implications of architectural notions of the ‘orders’ the ‘canon’ and the ‘core’ have served to constrain and to calcify its contents and in doing so imperiled its relevance and impact. In contrast this companion of pedagogic approaches serves to evidence that architecture’s academic and professional advancement is wholly contingent on its ability to fully engage in an additive and inclusive process whereby the necessary disruptions that occur when marginalized knowledge confronts established knowledge result in a catalytical transformation through which new co-created knowledge can emerge. Notions of tradition identity modernity vernacularism post-colonialism poverty migration social and spatial justice climate apartheid globalization ethical standards and international partnerships are key considerations in the context of the Global South. How these issues originate and evolve within architectural schools and curricula and how they act as drivers across all curricula activities are some of the important themes that the contributors interrogate and debate. With more than 30 contributions from 55 authors from diverse regional racial ethnic gender and cultural backgrounds this companion is structured in four sections that capture critique and catalog multifarious marginalized pedagogical approaches to provide educators and students with an essential source book of navigational steers core contestations propositional tactics and reimagined rubrics. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South pioneers a transposable strategy for academics from all disciplines looking to adopt a tested approach to decolonizing the curriculum. It is only through a process of destabilizing the hegemonic epistemological and disciplinary frameworks that have long-prescribed architecture’s pedagogies that the possibility of more inclusive representative and relevant pedagogical practices can emerge.
