An Investigative Cinema: Politics and Modernization in Italian, French, and American Film by Fabrizio Cilento
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 308 Pages | ISBN : 3319926802 | 5.71 MB

This book traces the development of investigative cinema, whose main characteristic lies in reconstructing actual events, political crises, and conspiracies. These documentary-like films refrain from a simplistic reconstruction of historical events and are mainly concerned with what does not immediately appear on the surface of events. Consequently, they raise questions about the nature of the “truth” promoted by institutions, newspapers, and media reports.

Public Service Accountability: Rekindling a Debate by Peter Murphy
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 153 Pages | ISBN : 3319933833 | 2.71 MB

How we manage public services and hold them to account is critically important. Yet austerity, recent changes to accountability frameworks, and the loss of the Audit Commission have created a huge deficit in our understanding of how well services are delivered. The time is thus right to re-examine the state of our vital public services, as well as how we can make them more accountable. This book reopens the debate on what accountability means and provides unique insights into an increasingly complex organizational landscape. It presents a new and innovative way of evaluating public services that should be of use to academics and public servants alike. Synthesising empirical work across local government, health and social care, the police, and fire services, this book also explores the relationship between financial and performance accountability and makes the case for the need for a distinctive sense of public service accountability.

Governance and Political Adaptation in Fragile States by John Idriss Lahai
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 307 Pages | ISBN : 3319907484 | 3.62 MB

The book examines the various ways that fragile states (or states with limited statehood) in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas have adopted, and adapted to, the processes of liberal political governance in their quests to address the problem of political fragility. It presents the stories of resilience in the political adaptation to Western liberal conceptions of governance. In addition to singular or comparative country case studies, this project also examines the interplay of culture, identities, and politics in the creation of people-centric governance reforms.

Theodor Fontane: Realismus, Redevielfalt, Ressentiment by Norbert Mecklenburg
Deutsch | PDF | 2018 | 320 Pages | ISBN : 3476046559 | 3.96 MB

Das literarische Werk Theodor Fontanes ist erstaunlich gegenwärtig geblieben. Denn er gestaltete Individuen in gesellschaftlichen Verstrickungen, deren Muster bis heute fortbestehen. Dabei registrierte er, wie die jüngste Forschung zeigt, neue Entwicklungen in Politik, Kultur, Medien, Technik. Dieses Buch stellt Fontanes modernen Realismus als eine Kunst dar, Redevielfalt zu inszenieren: Gruppensprachen und Sprachspiele, Diskurse und Ideologien, Mentalitäten und Vorurteile. So regen seine Werke Nachdenken an über Weisheiten und Dummheiten, soziale Distinktionsregeln, Geschlechterrollen, Nationalstereotype. Sie führen sogar Ressentiments des Autors selbst wie etwa gegenüber Juden oft so vor, dass Leser sie durchschauen und sich von ihnen distanzieren können.

Johnstown’s Flood of 1889: Power Over Truth and The Science Behind the Disaster by Neil M. Coleman
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 264 Pages | ISBN : 3319952153 | 40.17 MB

Science now reveals the true cause of the dam breach flood that destroyed Johnstown in 1889. The tragic loss of more than 2200 lives was preventable; the initial investigation of the flood was hijacked, delayed, and distorted by powerful members of the industrial elite. This book bridges the gap between history and science, reexamining eyewitness accounts of the flood and historic documents about the investigation, and applying new LiDAR, GPS, and hydraulic studies to solve the mystery – what caused the Great Flood of 1889? The book includes a notable chapter on the “sister” of the South Fork Dam, “The Forgotten Dam” at Hollidaysburg, PA.

This book proposes a method for calculating China’s debt based on a quantitative econometric analysis. This is conducted by measuring the relationship between China’s debt size and economic growth. The conclusion that is reached is as follows: China’s current debt has already exceeded the inflection point, and that means that it is now having an adverse effect on its economic performance.

Modern Subjectivities in World Society: Global Structures and Local Practices by Dietrich Jung
English | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 239 Pages | ISBN : 3319907336 | 3.24 MB

This book brings together theories of world society with poststructuralist and postcolonial work on modern subjectivity to understand the universalising and particularising processes of globalisation. It addresses a theoretical void in global studies by attending to the co-constituted process through which modern subjectivities and global processes emerge and interact. The editors outline a key problem in global studies, which is a lack of engagement between the local/particular/individual and the ‘universalising’ processes in which they are situated. The volume deals with this concern with contributions from historical sociologists, poststructuralist and postcolonial scholars and by focusing in the Middle East, religion in global modernity and non-human subjectivities.
