A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

In this volume Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen explores the U. S. Constitution's place in the public consciousness and its role as a symbol in American life from ratification in 1788 to our own time. As he examines what the Constitution has meant to the American people (perceptions and misperceptions uses and abuses knowledge and ignorance) Kammen shows that although there are recurrent declarations of reverence most of us neither know nor fully understand our Constitution. How did this gap between ideal and reality come about? To explain it Kammen examines the complex and contradictory feelings about the Constitution that emerged during its preparation and that have been with us ever since. He begins with our confusion as to the kind of Union we created especially with regard to how much sovereignty the states actually surrendered to the central government. This confusion is the source of the constitutional crisis that led to the Civil War and its aftermath. Kammen also describes and analyzes changing perceptions of the differences and similarities between the British and American constitutions; turn-of-the-century debates about states' rights versus national authority; and disagreements about how easy or difficult it ought to be to amend the Constitution. Moving into the twentieth century he notes the development of a cult of the Constitution following World War I and the conflict over policy issues that persisted despite a shared commitment to the Constitution. | A Machine That Would Go of Itself The Constitution in American Culture

Social Cohesion and Welfare States From Fragmentation to Social Peace

Social Cohesion and Welfare States From Fragmentation to Social Peace

Aiming to go beyond reiterating the stereotypical narrative of the rise of welfare states this interdisciplinary book examines the long-run historical processes of the development of the welfare state. It focuses on the complex political social economic and institutional transformations which give rise to these peaceful and cohesive societies. Welfare is crucial to the story of peaceful social integration and this book explores and explains this vital connection taking a non-linear view of the history of moving from fragmentation to peace with comprehensive welfare institutions. Chapters collectively focus on three central areas: (a) types of socio-political fragmentation (b) the interconnection of social political and economic forces that led to the institutionalisation of integrationist processes and policies (including re-distributional welfare systems) and (c) how this new institutional development helped achieve or failed to achieve social peace and welfare. The international panel of expert contributors provide case studies from a rich variety of country contexts including Germany South Africa the Netherlands Austria and the Nordic Countries. This thought-provoking collection of essays is well suited for advanced students and researchers in social history economic history political economy and social policy.

The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education From Theory to Practice

The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education From Theory to Practice

This book weaves together theory research and practical information related to the psychological aspects of physical education. Unlike other exercise/sport psychology books on the market The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education is written especially for future and practicing physical educators and focuses on the psychological principles and strategies that are most relevant to them. The book covers the important topics of motivation reinforcement feedback modeling prosocial behaviors/moral development and self-perception. In each chapter narratives about real practicing teachers show how they apply the principles and theories of psychology to physical education and particularly to actual situations that readers are likely to encounter professionally. Each chapter contains three main sections: following an opening scenario in which Blankenship captures the reader's attention with a real-life problem the author then (1) highlights theories related to the subject matter of the chapter (2) summarizes the research that has been conducted on the theories and the chapter topic and (3) gives examples of practical applications of the theory and research to physical education. Throughout the chapter as the theory research and application of the topic are discussed Blankenship presents possible solutions to the challenge presented in the chapter-opening vignette. The classroom applications and real-world examples are relevant to many different physical education settings including those at the elementary middle and high school levels in both urban and rural schools representing various geographical regions of the country. These examples bring the theories to life and help readers envision how their own classes will benefit as they apply what they­ve learned about the psychology of teaching physical education. Key Features of the Book A theory-to-research-to-practice approach. An author whose background in both sport psychology and physical education makes her uniquely qualified to write this book. Chapter-ending application exercises that encourage readers to go beyond rote memorization of concepts and principles to apply what they learned in various specific examples. Sample instructional models and guidelines to enable readers to incorporate concepts discussed in the chapter into their own classes. A comprehensive glossary. | The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education From Theory to Practice

Motivation to Work

Motivation to Work

Quality work that fosters job satisfaction and health enjoys top priority in industry all over the world. This was not always so. Until recently analysis of job attitudes focused primarily on human relations problems within organizations. While American industry was trying to solve the unsolvable problem of avoiding interpersonal dissatisfaction problems with the potential for solution such as training and quality production were ignored. When first published 'The Motivation to Work' challenged the received wisdom by showing that worker fulfillment came from achievement and growth within the job itself. In his new introduction Herzberg examines thirty years of motivational research in job-related areas. Based on workers' accounts of real events that have made them feel good or bad on the job the findings of Herzberg and his colleagues have stimulated research and controversy that continue to the present day. The authors surprisingly found that while a poor work environment generated discontent improved conditions seldom brought about improved attitudes. Instead satisfaction came most often from factors intrinsic to work: achievements job recognition and work that was challenging interesting and responsible. The evidence marshaled by this volume called into question many previous assumptions about job satisfaction and worker motivation. Feelings about intrinsic and extrinsic factors could not be validly averaged on a single scale of measurement. Motivation and performance are not merely dependent upon environmental needs and external rewards. Frederick Herzberg and his staff based their motivation—hygiene theory on a variety of human needs and applied it to a strategy of job enrichment that has widely influenced motivation and job design strategies. 'Motivation to Work' is a landmark volume that is of enduring interest to sociologists psychologists labor studies specialists and organization analysts.

Responding to Drinking Problems

Responding to Drinking Problems

In the 1970s family doctors social workers researchers and administrators had been aware of the inadequacy of the response to drinking problems for some time. However there had been no systematic examination of why such agents felt negatively about drinkers and disinclined to respond to them. Originally published in 1978 this book develops a radical new perspective on the prevalence and causes of drinking problems combining reviews of historical and contemporary literature with the authors’ own research studies. This perspective is then linked to the need for an integrated response from both medical and social services with a particular accent on the need for a community response. By focusing on the relationship between helper and helped a solution is sought to the question which has troubled the field for many years: why are agents like family doctors and social workers so inadequate in recognising and responding to people with drinking problems? The crucial aspects within the therapeutic relationship are pinpointed and experimental studies are described which show how training casework supervision and the redeployment of expertise can help improve recognition rates and responses to individual drinkers. This book thus expresses the need for major changes both in our attitudes and understanding of people with drinking problems and the difficulties of agents who try to help them. It should still be of historical interest to social scientists and those involved in helping people with drinking problems. | Responding to Drinking Problems

Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa

Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa

This book studies regional approaches to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in Europe and West Africa. The work assesses how and to what extent the European Union (EU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have internalised the norm both generally in institutions policies and programs and specifically in crisis situations of R2P concern such as the 2011 Libyan crisis and 2012 Malian crisis. It provides a historical analysis of how the two regional organisations have dealt with questions of sovereignty security and human rights since their founding as well as an analysis of some of the European and West African roots of the R2P norm. This reflects the notion that global norms are often informed by local and regional practices and that this needs to be recognised in order to fully understand regional responses to alleged global norms. The book uses process tracing to trace the regional internalisation of R2P and has benefited from qualitative research interviews with EU- and ECOWAS-stakeholders. One of the key findings is that ECOWAS and West Africa have delivered a key contribution to the norm construction of R2P a finding insufficiently recognised in the current literature. This book will be of much interest to students of the Responsibility to Protect EU human rights and foreign policy African politics security studies and International Relations in general. | Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa
