The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97

The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97

This is Volume II of Professor Parker's authoritative Official History of Privatisation covering the period from the re-election of Margaret Thatcher in 1987 to the election of Tony Blair in 1997. Volume II considers in detail several of the major privatisations including those of airports steel water electricity coal and the railways as well as a number of smaller ones. Each privatisation involved major challenges in terms of industrial restructuring organising successful sales and in a number of cases establishing effective regulatory regimes. The policy evolved and new methods of selling and regulating were put in place that enabled further disposals to occur. Monolithic nationalised industries with their emphasis on the benefits of economies of scale vertical integration and rationalisation were replaced by industrial structures rooted in the importance of commercial management risk taking and competition. In government departments and parts of the National Health Service direct employees were replaced by private contractors and private investment became a characteristic of public infrastructure in the form of PFI/PPP schemes. This study draws heavily on the official records of the British government to which the author was given full access and on interviews with the leading figures involved in each of the privatisations including ex-ministers civil servants business and City figures as well as academics that have studied the subject. This book will of great interest to students of privatisation British political history and of business and economics in general. | The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts

For an entire millennium Byzantine hagiography inspired by the veneration of many saints exhibited literary dynamism and a capacity to vary its basic forms. The subgenres into which it branched out after its remarkable start in the fourth century underwent alternating phases of development and decline that were intertwined with changes in the political social and literary spheres. The selection of saintly heroes an interest in depicting social landscapes and the modulation of linguistic and stylistic registers captured the voice of homo byzantinus down to the end of the empire in the fifteenth century. The seventeen chapters in this companion form the sequel to those in volume I which dealt with the periods and regions of Byzantine hagiography and complete the first comprehensive survey ever produced in this field. The book is the work of an international group of experts in the field and is addressed to both a broader public and the scholarly community of Byzantinists medievalists historians of religion and theorists of narrative. It highlights the literary dimension and the research potential of a representative number of texts not only those appreciated by the Byzantines themselves but those which modern readers rank high due to their literary quality or historical relevance. | The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume II: Genres and Contexts

The Malmariée in the Thirteenth-Century Motet

The Malmariée in the Thirteenth-Century Motet

This monograph offers a comprehensive study of the topos of the malmariée or the unhappily married woman within the thirteenth-century motet repertory a vocal genre characterized by several different texts sounding simultaneously over a foundational Latin chant. Part I examines the malmariée motets from three vantage points: (1) in light of contemporaneous canonist views on marriage; (2) to what degree the French malmariée texts in the upper voices treat the messages inherent in the underlying Latin chant through parody and/or allegory; and (3) interactions among upper-voice texts that invite additional interpretations focused on gender issues. Part II investigates the transmission profile of the motets as well as of their refrains revealing not only intertextual refrain usage between the motets and other genres but also a significant number of shared refrains between malmariée motets and other motets. Part II furthermore offers insights on the chronology of composition within a given intertextual refrain nexus and examines how a refrain’s meaning can change in a new context. Finally based on the transmission profile Part II argues for a lively interest in the topos in the 1270s and 1280s both through composition of new motets and compilation of earlier ones with Paris and Arras playing a prominent role. | The Malmariée in the Thirteenth-Century Motet

Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect

Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect

The late twentieth century witnessed rapid changes not only in Taiwan's economy but also in its identity. Both economic as well as ideological restructuring have been basic elements in the transformation of postwar Taiwan as rapid democratization opened a Pandora's Box and stirred a whirlwind of social discord. This volume considers such important questions as whether the old Taiwanese work ethic is a relic of the past and whether Taiwan is likely to become a battleground of ideological wars. The book addresses Taiwanese nostalgia for Chinese culture; the rise and fall of postwar Taiwanese agrarian culture; the transformation of farmers' social consciousness in the period 195-970; the place of Confucianism in postwar Taiwan; and the awakening of the self and the development of a Taiwanese national identity in the post World War II period. Finally it considers whether mutual historical understanding may be the basis for Taiwan-Mainland relations in the twenty-first century. This second edition includes a new chapter on the history of Taiwan after World War II incorporating additional developments in Taiwan in the past decade. Insights extrapolated from an understanding of history are essential for grasping and solving the basic problems Taiwan now faces and above all the conflicted relationship between Taiwan and Mainland China. The book's thematic undercurrent is the question of Taiwan and Mainland China: How do we deal with the tension between cultural China and political China? | Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect
