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.

Inclusive Trade in Africa The African Continental Free Trade Area in Comparative Perspective

Providing the first book-length analysis of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) this volume asks how can it be ensured that the AfCFTA is effectively implemented to deliver inclusive trade in Africa. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will cover an African market of 1. 2 billion people and GDP of over $2. 5 trillion across all 55 member States of the African Union. Yet trade policy increasingly appreciates that free trade is not enough; trade must also be inclusive to deliver developmental benefits. With contributions from leading trade policy authors across Africa and beyond this book offers insights into the development and implementation of the AfCFTA and serves as a reference for stakeholders interested in trade in Africa more broadly. The contributors assess what important lessons can be drawn from the experiences of regional integration in and beyond Africa including from success stories like ASEAN as well as from failures like the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. An important new work for researchers and policymakers focusing on African trade and economic policy and trade policy more generally. | Inclusive Trade in Africa The African Continental Free Trade Area in Comparative Perspective

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

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.

Cyber Resilience

Modern cyber systems acquire more emergent system properties as far as their complexity increases: cyber resilience controllability self-organization proactive cyber security and adaptability. Each of the listed properties is the subject of the cybernetics research and each subsequent feature makes sense only if there is a previous one. Cyber resilience is the most important feature of any cyber system especially during the transition to the sixth technological stage and related Industry 4. 0 technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cloud and foggy computing 5G + IoT/IIoT Big Data and ETL Q-computing Blockchain VR/AR etc. We should even consider the cyber resilience as a primary one because the mentioned systems cannot exist without it. Indeed without the sustainable formation made of the interconnected components of the critical information infrastructure it does not make sense to discuss the existence of 4. 0 Industry cyber-systems. In case when the cyber security of these systems is mainly focused on the assessment of the incidents' probability and prevention of possible security threats the cyber resilience is mainly aimed at preserving the targeted behavior and cyber systems' performance under the conditions of known (about 45 %) as well as unknown (the remaining 55 %) cyber attacks. This monograph shows that modern Industry 4. 0. Cyber systems do not have the required cyber resilience for targeted performance under heterogeneous mass intruder cyber-attacks. The main reasons include a high cyber system structural and functional complexity a potential danger of existing vulnerabilities and “sleep” hardware and software tabs as well as an inadequate efficiency of modern models methods and tools to ensure cyber security reliability response and recovery.

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

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
