Book Synopsis The Honest Broker by : Roger A. Pielke, Jr
Download or read book The Honest Broker written by Roger A. Pielke, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.

Book excerpt: Major Neil Olaf, also known as Number One, is a seasoned military intelligence officer who has seen his share of personal and professional tragedies over the years. Determined to courageously defend his country, Olaf places his life in jeopardy over and over again. After he manages to survive an explosion that takes the lives of some of his NETWORK cohorts, Neil has no idea of what lies ahead. After Neil is taken to a safe hospital and pieced back together again, he eventually becomes embroiled in a Russian plot to resurrect the old Soviet Union landmass. The plan is to invade the Baltic states using military exercises and the death of a Chinese general as an excuse. As the clock ticks away, everyone waits to see whether Neil can utilize his skills as an honest broker, stop the plot, and live to fight another day—or whether his enemies will prevail and snuff out his life, and purpose, forever. In this international tale of intrigue and passion, a military intelligence officer continues his dangerous journey to the truth as he is led from medical recovery to treachery and beyond.

Book Synopsis Higher Education in a Sustainable Society by : Hans Chr. Garmann Johnsen
Download or read book Higher Education in a Sustainable Society written by Hans Chr. Garmann Johnsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the following question: What is a sustainable society, and how can higher education help us to develop toward it? The core argument put forward is that the concept of sustainability reaches much farther than just the direct aspects of environmental threats and carbon emissions. Using higher education as a point of departure, the book shows that sustainability involves a broad range of disciplines, from nursing and nutrition to technology and management. It argues that a sustainable society entails a distinct perspective on society that influences our social thinking in terms of ethics, democracy and knowledge development. The book also discusses if (and if so, how) higher education can and should contribute to such a development based on the principles of the freedom of science in a liberal, democratic society. The book presents Mutual Competence Building as a concept higher education can adapt in order to contribute to a sustainable Society.

Book Synopsis Corporate Reorganisation Law and Forces of Change by : Sarah Paterson
Download or read book Corporate Reorganisation Law and Forces of Change written by Sarah Paterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-23 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Reorganisation Law argues that corporate reorganisation law is seen by market participants as a tool they can mobilise and adapt according to practices, logics, and identities in the of the financial and non-financial corporate markets. Thus changes in market practice, in the participants in the process, or in how the participants view their objectives, can significantly change the ways in which corporate reorganisation law is mobilised and adapted, even if the law has not undergone any reform. This book argues that corporate reorganisation law cannot be evaluated using a theoretical model in isolation from the wider institutional context in which corporate reorganisation law is mobilised and adapted by the participants to the process. In establishing the new methodology, the book undertakes a detailed analysis of six key changes in market practice, logic and identities in the financial and non-financial corporate fields. A comparative US/UK approach is adopted in analysing both the process of institutional change and the implications for law. This provides a fascinating lens through which to see how different institutional environments in the financial and non-financial markets in different jurisdictions are drawing together, and interacting with very different legal systems which were adapted to the distinct, original institutional environments in which they were developed. From this analysis important lessons for legal harmonisation efforts in Europe and in non-European jurisdictions are drawn out. The work emphasises the need to look at formal legal rules in combination with other, non-legal and legal institutions and argues that current reform debates in both the US and UK have suffered because scholars, practitioners, and policy makers have not started their evaluation of the case for reform by placing corporate reorganisation law in this wider institutional context. The book aims to fill this gap, and to provide a methodological approach for the future.
Book Synopsis The Nature of Environmental Stewardship by : Johnny Wei-Bing Lin
Download or read book The Nature of Environmental Stewardship written by Johnny Wei-Bing Lin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental issues appear deceptively simple: science tells us what the problems are and how to solve them, and, for Christians, the Bible motivates us to care for creation. And yet, both in society in general as well as in the Christian church in particular, we cannot seem to agree on what to do regarding environmental issues. In this book, climate scientist Johnny Wei-Bing Lin argues that determining the content of environmental stewardship, far from being a straightforward exercise, is a difficult and complex endeavor. He sets forth a general taxonomy, drawing from worldviews, ethical theories, science epistemology, science-policy studies, politics, and economics, that can help us better understand what excellent creation care consists of and how to bridge the differences people have regarding environmental issues.

Book Synopsis Leadership for the North by : Douglas C. Nord
Download or read book Leadership for the North written by Douglas C. Nord and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates multidimensional change in the Arctic and policy response to it. It focuses its attention on the need for effective leadership within the region. In so doing it considers the contribution made by the main international organization of the region, the Arctic Council. In particular, it examines the various leadership functions undertaken by the Chair of that body including that of convener, manager, promoter, representative and resolver of differences. It is argued that in performing these multiple roles the Chair is contributing to the necessary leadership required to address pressing Arctic concerns. The book highlights the activities of the four most recent Arctic Council Chairs, Sweden, Canada, the United States and Finland. It considers the programs for action that each of these countries promoted during their terms at the helm of this major circumpolar organization. It examines the particular approaches, methods and strategies that each used to advance its agenda and the consequences of such efforts. It focuses attention on the need for building consensus among a diverse membership including Arctic states, organizations representing northern indigenous peoples, non-Arctic countries and non-governmental bodies. Drawing upon the insights of scholars from several disciplines from across the circumpolar community, the collected essays in this volume seek to paint a picture of the real challenges and opportunities for international diplomacy in the contemporary North. It suggests that there are true “lessons to be learned” in advancing leadership within the region. The book provides a means for considering these and the most effective means of response.
