Hurst Alex: Generation Desperation

Generation Desperation

How I Made — and Lost — a Million Dollars

Sex, Gender, and Politics explores how to think about political behavior based on empirical evidence of sex differences in attitudes and behaviors within the context of gendered norms and institutions. Drawing upon advancements in fields such as social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral economics, and even behavioral genetics, Rebecca J. Hannagan uses a biosocial approach to think about sex, gender, and political behavior.

Increasingly research shows that women and men not only perceive people and situations quite differently, but that we might expect different political attitudes and behaviors from them as a result. Recent studies suggest gender-balanced group dynamics can impact decision making in ways that old models of politics and leadership do not capture. Previous models were based on notions of socialized gender roles, as well as notions about leadership being gendered masculine, but these notions are evolving. From both scholarly and practical standpoints, our thinking about sex, gender, and politics needs an update. Sex, Gender, and Politics explores how to think about political behavior based on empirical evidence of sex differences in attitudes and behaviors within the context of gendered norms and institutions. Although "women in politics" as a subfield of political science and a political agenda is important, this book shows that there are reasons beyond equality and representation to pay attention to sex and gender. Drawing upon advancements in fields such as social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral economics, and even behavioral genetics, Rebecca J. Hannagan uses a biosocial approach to think about sex, gender, and political behavior. The book also addresses the political problem that women do not serve in public office at the same rate as their male counterparts, arguing that the issue is not merely one of concern to women’s rights movements or a matter of equality, but one that leaves political deliberation and democratic politics sorely lacking based on current research on gender balance and group dynamics. This book takes categories typical of any course in political psychology and political behavior—as well as women and politics or gender politics—and reframes them, not only by focusing on sex differences, gender roles, and gendered institutions, but via a biosocial approach to attitudes and behaviors. This reframing is essential for courses on political behavior and gender and politics and presents an updated way of thinking about politics that should appeal to students and scholars alike.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

This is a book about poverty but it does not study the poor and the powerless; instead it studies those who manage poverty. It sheds light on how powerful institutions control "capital," or circuits of profit and investment, as well as "truth," or authoritative knowledge about poverty. Such dominant practices are challenged by alternative paradigms of development, and the book details these as well. Using the case of microfinance, the book participates in a set of fierce debates about development - from the role of markets to the secrets of successful pro-poor institutions. Based on many years of research in Washington D.C., Bangladesh, and the Middle East, Poverty Capital also grows out of the author's undergraduate teaching to thousands of students on the subject of global poverty and inequality.

Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media

This book explores twenty-first century environment-themed advertising with a global reach in relation to three key emerging persuasive themes: governance, morality and transnational rhetoric. Adopting a social semiotic approach, and exploring key examples including Greenpeace's "Everything is NOT Awesome" brandjacking advert, Volkswagen's "Think Blue" campaign and Unilever's "Why Bring a Child Into This World?" advert, Alexander puts forward a number of observations about the ideological character and function of environmental advertising as a new form of transnational persuasion.

Environmental Communication is a growing area of academic enquiry. But, whilst there are key texts on environmental communication and new texts on environment-themed media, there is, as yet, no book specifically devoted to "green" (environment themed) advertising. Filling this lacuna, this book explores twenty-first century environment-themed advertising with a global reach in relation to three key emerging persuasive themes: governance, morality and transnational rhetoric. Such environment-themed advertising with transnational reach, addressed to transnational publics and produced by global actors (from NGOs to multinationals to the United Nations to celebrities), is now a significant form of environmental communication. This book considers that form and its meanings; the "environmental imaginary" it builds in the minds of its publics, its ideological and emotional landscapes, and its limitations. Adopting a social semiotic approach, and exploring key examples including Greenpeace’s "Everything is NOT Awesome" brandjacking advert, Volkswagen’s "Think Blue" campaign and Unilever’s "Why Bring a Child Into This World?" advert, Alexander puts forward a number of observations about the ideological character and function of environmental advertising as a new form of transnational persuasion. The first book to explore the social and symbolic significance of "green" advertising as a transnational form of environmental communication, this book will be of great relevance to scholars and students with an interest in this growing field.

Rethinking Asia and International Relations

Russia's determined diplomatic, economic and military efforts to recover its previous historic status as a great independent Asian power comprise major domestic initiatives to revitalize Siberia and Russian Asia, support large-scale foreign investment in projects based in those areas, and push major policy initiatives toward all East and South Asian governments. The implications of Russian success or failure also possess important consequences for the US who currently do not view Russia as an actor in Asia. Whether or not Moscow can succeed in this quest and what the consequences are for it and for Asian international relations, is comprehensively analyzed in this book.

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter

Is Europe a global actor? It all depends on which 'Europe', one means. There is no such thing as a European foreign, security or defence policy, in the sense of a coordinated ensemble of national, EU and NATO initiatives, only European foreign, security and defence policies, pursued by different actors, sometimes in coordination, sometimes alongside each other, sometimes in competition. National sovereignty prevails. Decisions are taken in the capitals and acting through the EU or NATO are just two options in addition to, and no more important than, the national option. The Ashgate Research Companion to the Foreign Policies of Europe starts its analysis then from the national level. Expert contributors consider the interests, policies and impact of the European states across regions, key issues and relationships and consider whether decisions made out of national interest can continue to meet the security, defence, economic and environmental challenges of Europe in the 21st century.

This book provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how climate change-associated conflict will harm human health. Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.

This book provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how climate change-associated conflict will harm human health. Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. At an international level, climate change driven increases in the incidence of conflict would disrupt trade of food and medical supplies. It would likely also see an overall shift in government spending from health and its determinants toward defence, resulting in poorer health globally. To more fully explore the health effects of climate change-associated conflict, Bowles also investigates some other tertiary effects, including reduced food availability, economic growth, health system capacity and increased migration. The book concludes with an analysis of how the discipline of public health can better anticipate and ameliorate the effects of climate change.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.
