Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism Case Studies from Asia

Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism Case Studies from Asia

With recent changes in social and political landscapes around the world the focus of preventive counter-terrorism has shifted in many places from government to civil society. The contributors analyze the different approaches of Civil Society Organizations in preventing and countering violent extremism in various countries in South and Southeast Asia. The cases examined include Malaysia Indonesia Myanmar Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The key emphasis is on understanding the context within which each example was initiated and the factors that determined their relative success or failure. The evidence from these cases suggests that much can be achieved through empowering communities to engage in aiding both the indoctrinated and those who pose the greatest risk of radicalization.

Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Nietzsche was famously an atheist despite coming from a strongly Protestant family. This heritage influenced much of his thought but was it in fact the very thing that led him to his atheism? This work provides a radical re-assessment of Protestantism by documenting and extrapolating Nietzsche’s view that Christianity dies from the head down. That is through Protestantism’s inherent anarchy. In this book Nietzsche is put into conversation with the initiatives of several powerful thinking writers; Luther Boehme Leibniz and Lessing. Using Nietzsche as a critical guide to the evolution of Protestant thinking each is shown to violate warp or ignore gospel injunctions and otherwise pose hazards to the primacy of Christian ethics. Demonstrating that a responsible understanding of Protestantism as a historical movement needs to engage with its inherent flaws this is a text that will engage scholars of philosophy theology and religious studies alike. | Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Friedrich Hayek was the 20th century’s most significant free market theorist. Over the course of his long career he developed an analysis of the danger that state power can pose to individual liberty. In rejecting much of the liberal tradition’s concern for social justice and democratic participation Hayek would help clear away many intellectual obstacles to the emergence of neoliberalism in the last quarter of the 20th century. At the core of this book is a new interpretation of Hayek one that regards him as an exponent of a neo-Roman conception of liberty and interprets his work as a form of ‘market republicanism’. It examines the contemporary context in which Hayek wrote and places his writing in the long republican intellectual tradition. Hayek’s Market Republicanism will be of interest to advanced students and researchers across the history of economic thought the history of political thought political economy and political philosophy. | Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Setting up cultural encounters is a widespread intervention strategy employed to diffuse conflicts and manage difficulties related to diversity. These organised cultural encounters bring together people of different backgrounds in order to promote peaceful coexistence and inclusion. These transformative aims relate to the participants but are often also expected to spill over into the society community or context addressed by the encounter. As a category ‘Organised Cultural Encounters’ draws together a variety of activities and events such as multicultural festivals dialogue initiatives diversity training and inclusion projects – activities that are generally not considered to be of the same kind. Most of the existing literature on these types of encounters is instrumental and has an overall emphasis on evaluations in terms of outcome or success rate. This book goes beyond evaluations and the contributors pose and debate theoretical and methodological questions and analyse the practices and performativities of particular encounters. Taken together it makes an important contribution to the theorisation and analysis of intercultural relations and negotiations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Self-Medication and Society Mirages of Autonomy

Self-Medication and Society Mirages of Autonomy

The question of recourse to self-medication arises at the intersection of two partly antagonistic discourses: that of the public authorities who advocate the practice primarily for economic reasons and that of health professionals who condemn it for fear that it may pose a danger to health and dispossess the profession of expertise.

Culture and General Education A Survey

Culture and General Education A Survey

Originally published in 1963 this remarkable book discusses the results of the ‘tests of culture’ devised by the author two of which when published in The Times Educational Supplement evoked such wide interest that he was almost overwhelmed with unsolicited test scores and correspondence. The late Kenneth Richmond was well aware that any attempt to ‘measure culture’ was open to ridicule. He makes it clear that he is concerned to measure it in its restricted sense of ‘academic or minority culture’ and he holds that there is a body of received opinion on the content of such culture which in the contemporary world is represented by two areas those of the scientists and of the literary intellectuals and that it is possible to pose questions that will test a person’s acquaintance with each. So the tests are no mere quizzes; the results from Universities Colleges the Services and Sixth Forms are often surprising sometimes disquieting in the light they throw on standards of general education at the time and on the ‘great divide’ between the scientist and the arts man. | Culture and General Education A Survey

Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport

Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport

While efforts to include gay and lesbian athletes in competitive sport have received significant attention it is only recently that we have begun examining the experiences of transgender athletes in competitive sport. This book represents the first comprehensive study of the challenges that transgender athletes face in competitive sport; and the challenges they pose for this sex-segregated institution. Beginning with a discussion of the historical role that sport has played in preserving sex as a binary the book examines how gender has been policed by policymakers within competitive athletics. It also considers how transgender athletes are treated by a system predicated on separating males from females consequently forcing transgender athletes to negotiate the system in coercive ways. The book not only exposes our culture’s binary thinking in terms of both sex and gender but also offers a series of thought-provoking and sometimes contradictory recommendations for how to make sport more hospitable inclusive and equitable. Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport is important reading for all students and scholars of the sociology of sport with an interest in the relationship between sport and gender politics identity and ethics.

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Traditional approaches focused on significance tests have often been difficult for linguistics researchers to visualise. Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research: A New Approach breaks these significance tests down for researchers in corpus linguistics and linguistic analysis promoting a visual approach to understanding the performance of tests with real data and demonstrating how to derive new intervals and tests. Accessibly written this book discusses the ‘why’ behind the statistical model allowing readers a greater facility for choosing their own methodologies. Accessibly written for those with little to no mathematical or statistical background it explains the mathematical fundamentals of simple significance tests by relating them to confidence intervals. With sample datasets and easy-to-read visuals this book focuses on practical issues such as how to: • pose research questions in terms of choice and constraint; • employ confidence intervals correctly (including in graph plots); • select optimal significance tests (and what results mean); • measure the size of the effect of one variable on another; • estimate the similarity of distribution patterns; and • evaluate whether the results of two experiments significantly differ. Appropriate for anyone from the student just beginning their career to the seasoned researcher this book is both a practical overview and valuable resource. | Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Flexible Imputation of Missing Data Second Edition

Flexible Imputation of Missing Data Second Edition

Missing data pose challenges to real-life data analysis. Simple ad-hoc fixes like deletion or mean imputation only work under highly restrictive conditions which are often not met in practice. Multiple imputation replaces each missing value by multiple plausible values. The variability between these replacements reflects our ignorance of the true (but missing) value. Each of the completed data set is then analyzed by standard methods and the results are pooled to obtain unbiased estimates with correct confidence intervals. Multiple imputation is a general approach that also inspires novel solutions to old problems by reformulating the task at hand as a missing-data problem. This is the second edition of a popular book on multiple imputation focused on explaining the application of methods through detailed worked examples using the MICE package as developed by the author. This new edition incorporates the recent developments in this fast-moving field. This class-tested book avoids mathematical and technical details as much as possible: formulas are accompanied by verbal statements that explain the formula in accessible terms. The book sharpens the reader’s intuition on how to think about missing data and provides all the tools needed to execute a well-grounded quantitative analysis in the presence of missing data. | Flexible Imputation of Missing Data Second Edition
