Challenges from Within

This title was first published in 2001. The challenges that face the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have changed considerably. Growing international interdependence has meant that domestic civil servants are playing an increasing role in international negotiations and foreign policy making. The scope and complexity of foreign policy under conditions of interdependence has pushed FCO involvement beyond its normal boundaries and into areas that have traditionally been the preserve of domestic policy-makers. In this book Roger Murphy assesses the success of the FCO in dealing with these challenges providing an examination of the changes that have taken place in the British foreign policy making system. | Challenges from Within

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

The Emergence Of The Nieo Ideology

This study traces the political history of the ideas underlying Third World calls for a New International Economic Order. Filling a significant gap in the literature the book shows that NIEO ideology has a direct unbroken line of development extending back to World War II when a new international economic order the Bretton Woods system was created. Dr. Murphy maintains that NIEO ideology is not rooted only in Third World acceptance of Prebisch's views on trade; rather it evolved from Third World attempts to cope with problems and opportunities that emerged as the Bretton Woods system was created operated and began to break down. By the 1970s the ideology had become a complex and coherent analysis of the economic position of Third World states including a political analysis of how Third World views could be made dominant. Many of Dr. Murphy's conclusions challenge the conventional wisdom about the Third World position of the NIEO. In addition his study offers insight into the relatively unexplored area of how changes in political and social consciousness affect international systems and provides grounds on which officials from both the South and the North can see the others' views as less alien. | The Emergence Of The Nieo Ideology

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis explains the key concepts in statistical power analysis and illustrates their application in both tests of traditional null hypotheses (that treatments or interventions have no effect in the population) and in tests of the minimum-effect hypotheses (that the population effects of treatments or interventions are so small that they can be safely treated as unimportant). It provides readers with the tools to understand and perform power analyses for virtually all the statistical methods used in the social and behavioral sciences. Brett Myors and Kevin Murphy apply the latest approaches of power analysis to both null hypothesis and minimum-effect testing using the same basic unified model. This book starts with a review of the key concepts that underly statistical power. It goes on to show how to perform and interpret power analyses and the ways to use them to diagnose and plan research. We discuss the uses of power analysis in correlation and regression in the analysis of experimental data and in multilevel studies. This edition includes new material and new power software. The programs used for power analysis in this book have been re-written in R a language that is widely used and freely available. The authors include R codes for all programs and we have also provided a web-based app that allows users who are not comfortable with R to perform a wide range of analyses using any computer or device that provides access to the web. Statistical Power Analysis helps readers design studies diagnose existing studies and understand why hypothesis tests come out the way they do. The fifth edition includes updates to all chapters to accommodate the most current scholarship as well as recalculations of all examples. This book is intended for graduate students and faculty in the behavioral and social sciences; researchers in other fields will find the concepts and methods laid out here valuable and applicable to studies in many domains. | Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Evolution of Government Policy Towards Homosexuality in the US Military The Rise and Fall of DADT

Throughout history homosexuality has been a complicating factor for men and women electing to serve in the armed forces of the United States. The right to serve became increasingly complicated when the Department of Defense responded to congressional legislation in 1993 by adopting a policy that later became known as don’t ask don’t tell (DADT). DADT permitted homosexual members to serve in the forces so long as they showed no evidence of homosexual behavior. The compromise policy remained in force until Congress passed the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 and finally in September 2011 the ban on gay men and lesbians serving openly in the US armed forces officially came to an end. Reflecting on the 20-year period governed by DADT this volume explores the history culture attitudes and impacts of policy evolution from the mid-20th Century through to the present day. It not only provides insight to the scholarly field of how the most powerful institution in the world has viewed and dealt with homosexuality as it transitioned into the 21st century but it is also poised to become a seminal collection for researchers in the decades to come. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality. Parco and Levy have produced a fine edited volume dedicated to deepening our understanding of the federal DADT policy. What has resulted is a deep analysis of the federal policies regarding gays and lesbians in the U. S. military. This volume is filled with rich descriptions and analyses written by the very best thinkers about issues pertaining to gays and lesbians in the U. S. military. Parco and Levy not only offer a comprehensive treatment of DADT but their book will stand the test of time and spur additional important research about gay lesbian bisexual and queer service members. The Rise and Fall of DADT is accessibly written and offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the DADT federal policy and the attendant issues of equity social justice and ever-changing attitudes about LGBTQ people related to the U. S. military and to the larger American society. John P. Elia Ph. D. Editor-in-Chief Journal of Homosexuality and Professor and Associate Chair of Health Education at San Francisco State University USA As Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs from 2010 to 2012 and the first openly-gay senior official to serve at the Pentagon I was witness to and honored to be an active participant in the historic process that led to the ban on discrimination against lesbian and gay service members: men and women who had been hiding in plain sight while risking their lives to serve their country honorably. In this volume Jim Parco and Dave Levy provide what is perhaps the most comprehensive account to date of the evolution of US government policy regarding LGBT service members. Their study includes outstanding firsthand narratives by many friends who played central roles in the repeal of Don’t Ask/Don’t tell including Sue Fulton Jonathan Lee and former Congressman Patrick Murphy. Parco and Levy provide the opportunity for scholars experts and ordinary citizens from all walks of life to share in those journeys and in the very positive results that were achieved. Douglas B.
