Linear Optimization for Business Theory and practical application

Linear Optimization for Business Theory and practical application

Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

The reinvention of art-history during the 1980s has provided a serious challenge to the earlier formalist and connoisseurial approaches to the discipline in ways which can only help economic and social historians in the current drive to study past societies in terms of what they consumed produced perceived and imagined. This group of essays focuses on three main issues: the demand for art including the range of art objects purchased by various social groups; the conditions of artistic creativity and communication between different production centres and artistic millieux; and the emergence of art markets which served to link the first two phenomena. The work draws on new research by art historians and economic and social historians from Europe and the United States and covers the period from the late Middle Ages to the early nineteenth century. | Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

Melanie Klein's extension of Freud's ideas - in particular her explorations into the world of the infant and her emphasis on the complex interactions between the infant's internal world of powerful primitive emotions of love and hate and the mothering that the infant receives - were greeted with skepticism but are now widely accepted as providing an invaluable way of understanding human cognitive and emotional development. Klein's insights shed light on persecuted states guilt the drive to create and to repair; they also provide the clinician with a theory of technique. Klein's work has inspired the work of psychoanalysts around the world. Her concept of projective identification with its implications for the understanding of countertransference made a significant impact on her followers and on psychoanalysts in other countries and from other schools of thought. Further exploration of these ideas has led to greater understanding of how change occurs in psychoanalysis and has inspired a large literature with a particular focus on technique. | The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

Discourse Power Address The Politics of Public Communication

Discourse Power Address The Politics of Public Communication

'Discourse Power Address' identifies the existence of 'directive' address a form of strategic communication which is employed in a number of dominant practices including Advertising Politics Public Relations and Corporate representation. Stuart Price argues that the simulation of intimacy in authoritarian address masks a drive to power in which the creation of propositions by powerful social actors is based on the 'timeliness' of utterance rather than any real adherence to truth or genuine explanation. Election broadcasts political speeches TV commercials and corporate advertisements are all scrutinised in order to evaluate competing perspectives on the creation and circulation of meaning; particular reference is made to theories of discourse ideology and address. In the course of his argument the author proposes an original method for determining how authoritarian address attempts to make an impact on audiences. Providing a cross-disciplinary contribution to the fields of Communication Language Media and Political Studies this book provides an original clear-sighted contribution to the debate on language and power and will provide an essential resource for lecturers researchers students activists and policy-makers. | Discourse Power Address The Politics of Public Communication

Environmental Communication and Travel Journalism Consumerism Conflict and Concern

Environmental Communication and Travel Journalism Consumerism Conflict and Concern

Travel journalism about natural attractions is environmental communication at the cusp of consumerism and concern. Countries and regions that market forests rivers and wildlife to international tourists drive place-of-origin brand recognition that benefits exporters in other sectors. Place-branding in such destinations is not just PR for environmentally sustainable development and consumption but also a political enterprise.

The book seeks to understand how in whose interests and against what odds discourses of cosmopolitanism and place-branding influence the way travel journalists represent vulnerable and contested environments. Informed by interviews with journalists and their sources Environmental Communication and Travel Journalism identifies and theorises networks cultures discursive strategies and multiple loyalties that can assist or interrupt flows of environmental concern in the cosmopolitan public sphere. The book should be of interest to scholars of environmental communication environmental politics journalism tourism marketing and public relations. | Environmental Communication and Travel Journalism Consumerism Conflict and Concern

Nationalism and Conflict Management

Nationalism and Conflict Management

Ethno-national conflict is one of the central issues of modern politics. Despite the emergence of approaches to managing it from nation-building to territorial autonomy in recent years the application of these approaches has been uneven. Old conflicts persist and new ones continually emerge. The authors of this book contend that what is needed to drive forward the theory and practice of ethno-national conflict management is a more nuanced understanding of ethnicity and nationalism. The book addresses this issue by linking theories of ethnicity and nationalism to theories of conflict management. Its contributors share a common goal of demonstrating that a nuanced understanding of ethnicity and nationalism can beneficially inform conflict management in theory and practice. To do so they analyse both hot and cold conflict zones as well as cases that have been important in the development of the most widely-used conflict management models. The book is aimed at those interested in the theory and practice of ethno-national conflict management as well as the study of ethnicity and nationalism. It is well-suited for undergraduate and advanced research students experts and policy-makers. This book was originally published as a special issue of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics. | Nationalism and Conflict Management

Welfare State Transformation in the Yugoslav Successor States From Social to Unequal

Welfare State Transformation in the Yugoslav Successor States From Social to Unequal

Welfare states are the product of economic political and social interactions and undergo changes as these interactions transform. Existing welfare state theories mainly tend to explain the emergence and development of the welfare state in the western industrialized and capitalist world. While the states of Central and Eastern Europe have recently been integrated in the academic discourse the countries of the former Yugoslavia have been predominantly excluded from comparative analysis. Issues of nationalism and ethnic polarization have been prevalent there while socio-economic issues have been put on the back burner. This book explores what happened to the strong social states and relatively equal societies which existed in Slovenia Croatia Serbia and Macedonia and looks into what accounts for these diverse outcomes. By investigating the applicability of the theories on welfare state development and typologization it fills in the gap in the welfare state literature. It offers an original typology of social citizenship that takes into account the diversity of welfare policy formations across the region. The aim of this typology is not to compete with existing ones but rather to offer a framework for better understanding of states that do not necessarily fit into known explanatory categories. In a global context of changing economic circumstances and contending political responses macroeconomic policy and welfare state reform become order of the day. By featuring the ways that states adjust to new pressures this book’s arguments may come in handy to those trying to make sense of the crisis and the powers that drive the policy solutions. | Welfare State Transformation in the Yugoslav Successor States From Social to Unequal
