Routledge Advances in Sociology

Philanthropy, Art and Society investigates the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Critically evaluating the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, the book shows that it is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us.

Philanthropy, Art and Society sets up, for the first time, the field of arts philanthropy in the UK, shedding light on the variety of ways in which individuals and organisations give their time and money to support the arts. Herrero and Reid evaluate the history of arts philanthropy, its legacy, and its significance in today’s society. They explore the idea that giving to the arts is a form of behaviour influenced by its specific historical, socio-cultural and political context which can profoundly affect its recipients (organisations and individuals) as well as shape the very context in which these recipients operate.First, they investigate the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Second, they critically evaluate the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, asking such questions as: <ul> <li>does philanthropy reinforce or mitigate social inequalities?</li> <li>what effects does it have on organisational cultures and structures of recipients?</li> <li>can philanthropy ensure the long-term sustainability of the arts sectors?</li> </ul>The book’s exploration of how philanthropy constitutes society shows that philanthropy is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, politics, international relations, economics, anthropology, cultural policy, cultural studies, philanthropy and non-profit studies, entrepreneurial studies, business studies, management, and the non-profit sector.

This book responds to moves to rematerialize the social sciences, to attend to the stuff of daily life, but challenges the social sciences to think beyond objects as stable things. It argues that objects are better seen as things coming apart, as en route to becoming something else, some stuff else, somewhere else. It locates these arguments in economies of demolition, disposal and reincarnation, focusing on object death, materials recovery and re-fabrication, and the sequestration and unleashing of materials classified as wastes.

This book responds to moves to rematerialize the social sciences, to attend to the stuff of daily life but challenges the social sciences to think beyond objects as stable things. It forwards the argument that objects need to be seen not as stabilising things, or immutable mobiles – as time stilled and materials fixed and conserved in the object form – or even always in the making, as becoming but as unbecoming things. It argues that objects are better seen as things coming apart, as en route to becoming something else, some stuff else, somewhere else. It locates these arguments in economies of demolition, disposal and reincarnation, focusing on object death, materials recovery and re-fabrication, and the sequestration and unleashing of materials classified as wastes. It uses as its exemplar case the classic immutable mobile, the ship – one of the most durable and complex of fabricated objects. It illustrates these arguments through global ethnography conducted in various settings around the world, including South Asia and the EU.

The second edition of Ward and Maruna's Rehabilitation builds on its tremendous success and presents an analysis of the core ideas underpinning offender rehabilitation, including enhanced discussion of empirical and theoretical research that have emerged since the first edition and new chapters looking at the ethics of rehabilitation, and the integration between desistance research and the RNR and GLM.

Research shows that recidivism is greatly reduced through rehabilitation and that offenders respond well to practitioners who show an interest in them and believe in their capacity to turn their lives around. This philosophy stands in stark contrast to the punitive approaches to criminal justice, though arguably practitioners need rehabilitation theories to help them navigate through the various challenges and problems that materialize when working with offenders and understand issues such as the overall aims of intervention, what constitutes risk, what the general causes of crime are, how best to manage and work with individuals, and how to balance offender needs with the interests of the community. The second edition of Ward and Maruna’s Rehabilitation builds on its tremendous success and presents an analysis of the core ideas underpinning offender rehabilitation. It critically examines two of the most conceptually developed theories of rehabilitation, the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model (RNR) and the Good Lives Model, including enhanced discussion of empirical and theoretical research that have emerged since the first edition. New to the second edition are three new chapters looking at the ethics of rehabilitation, and the integration between desistance research and the RNR and GLM.

New Studies in Critical Realism and Education Routledge Critical Realism

In an increasingly more global society there are several arguments for looking at international and not the least national trends in pupil assessment. Firstly, there has been increasing attention about comparable levels of national performance in PISA tests. Secondly, looking at the experiences of other countries gives an indication of experiences, both positive and negative with new forms of assessment. How should international trends in pupil assessment be conceptualised, if the desire is to avoid for the moment the temptation of looking for national and historical peculiarities, that might potentially upset the validity of and dominance of such trends? Despite the strength of the assumption that assessment can be a form of positivist measurement, this book will explore if and how such forms of assessment might actually test critical thinking. This is a distinctly human attribute with the potential of transcending the view that psychometric testing is only suitable for the testing of motor skills.It can be noted that even though there is no single once and for all list of international trends that exert a dominant influence upon assessment practices in different countries, there are certain debates and challenges faced by policy makers and assessment practitioners alike: <ul> <li>selection vs. certification</li> <li>applying assessment criteria vs. holistic judgments</li> <li>technologically mediated assessment vs. non-technology mediated face-to-face assessment</li> <li>assessment for, of and as assessment</li> <li>assessment principles vs. a more pragmatic approach to assessment practices</li> </ul>As we have suggested in the desire to be more accurate the pursuit of different forms of assessment risk searching for the pupil’s knowledge, skills and attitudes as if they were in some way intransitives

Understanding Religion and Society aims to help undergraduate students understand the roles that religion plays within social life, and how these roles influence the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of different societies. Scott-Jones reviews a range of key issues and debates within the social science study of religion, and explores key global religious trends. The book has a range of pedagogic features, including short case studies, reflective questions and activities, suggested readings, media and online resources.

Understanding Religion and Society: Identity, Meaning and Knowledge is aimed at undergraduate students studying religion within a social science context. Its central focus is on the roles that religion plays within social life and how these roles influence the economic, political, and socio-cultural aspects of different societies. Identity, meaning and knowledge provision are identified as underpinning all of religion’s other socio-cultural functions. The book uses these three elements as central themes – a means to explore the ways in which religion operates within different societies. The book will review a range of key issues and debates within the social science study of religion, including the secularization thesis. It will review key global religious trends, such as the growth of religious fundamentalism, new religious movements, and New Age believing. The book will have a range of pedagogic features, including, short ‘boxed’ case studies, reflective questions and activities, suggested readings, media and online resources.

This book considers the derivative action, an important corporate governance tool which is commonly considered to serve two basic functions, i.e., enabling shareholders to gain redress for a wrong done to their company and deterring potential breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. This book critically examines the derivative action from theoretical, evolutionary, and comparative perspectives. It considers how controversial issues such as locus standi, demand requirements, indemnity cost orders, information asymmetry and res judicata are approached in selected civil law countries as well as throughout the Commonwealth. The book also assesses whether derivative litigation could fulfill a similar role in China, which is one of the most rapidly developing economies in the world, yet lacks adequate corporate governance mechanisms. The ultimate aim discussed in the book is how to establish a remedial mechanism which makes derivative actions more accessible and consistent, while maintainingthe balance between corporate efficiency and protecting minority shareholders’ interests. Lastly, based on different approaches in the latest reforming infrastructure, it explores whether there is a general converging trend for derivative actions between the two major legal systems.
