Organisational Development in Practice: A Complexity Approach draws on conventional, critical and complexity thinking in relation to organisational development with a view to exploring what's useful and what's not.This book proffers an approach to organisational development that helps to develop, support, and maintain more democratic, collaborative, inclusive and sustainable ways of learning, working, and living.

Woven in between the substantive chapters are vignettes from a range of international practitioners reflecting on their own experiences in the field.This book is a radically different approach to organisational development suitable for advanced students and researchers of organisation and organisational dev

This book considers how sport organisations can create inclusive practices to strengthen social progress, focusing on the importance of leadership in fostering positive change. Drawing on original research, and adopting a meso-level, multi-disciplinary approach that includes perspectives from sport management, the sociology of sport and organisational psychology, the book considers the evidence for sport as a vector of social progress. Featuring qualitative interviews with non-profit sport leaders from organisations across Europe, the book looks at the conditions under which social inclusion through sport is possible, and examines the challenges and opportunities related to three areas of inclusivity and exclusivity: access, participation, and empowerment. Offering a new perspective on how leadership can help unlock the potential of sport as an inclusive force in society, this book is an important read for anybody with an interest in sport development, sport management, social inclusio

This book introduces a novel discourse, based on socio-legal theory of compliance with international environmental law, which addresses the overarching question: when can international environmental law and policy achieve implementation, compliance and be effective?Offering an important contribution to academic and practical understandings of implementation and compliance with international environmental obligations, the book firstly critiques existing multidisciplinary theories of law and then brings together international and domestic legal theories to highlight their symbiotic relationship.

Children and Adolescent's Experiences of Violence and Abuse at Home is a unique book that explores some of the main controversies and challenges within the field. The book is organised into three sections, the first covering work that has focused on the experiences of living in DV settings as a child or young person, the second offers overviews of the impact of child victimisation and the final section is about working with children in practice and service-based settings. It includes extensive reviews of the literature, empirical research and practice observations, all of which provide compelling evidence of a need to change how we construct victims and design services. It provides evidence for the need to work sensitively, inclusively, and responsively around issues of victim identification, support, and prevention. Moreover, the evidence urges us to include children's and adult victim/survivor's experiences and contributions in the creation of services. Concluding with a series of re

John Locke is widely perceived as a foundational figure within the liberal tradition. This book investigates the competing purposes that informed Locke's political philosophy, not all of which resulted in outcomes consistent with what we today understand as "liberal" ideals. Locke himself was unaware that he belonged to a "liberal" tradition. Traditions only acquire meaning in retrospect. But many have perceived the development of Locke's political philosophy as involving a smooth evolution from "authoritarian" origins to "liberal" conclusions, beginning with Locke's Two Tracts on Government (1660-62) and culminating in his later political works, the Two Treatises of Government (1689) and A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689). This book advances an interpretation of this development which reveals how, by the time of his mature political writings, Locke sought to advance three competing imperatives within his political philosophy, only two of which were consistent with ideals of individ

First published in 1992, Theater and World is a detailed exploration of Shakespeare's representation of history and how it affects the relation between theatre and world. The book focuses primarily on the Second Tetralogy (Richard II, Henry IV Part I, Henry IV Part II, and Henry V) and includes a wealth of analysis and interpretation of the plays. In doing so, it explores a wide range of topics, including the relation between literary and theatrical representations and the world; the nature of illusion and reality; genre; the connection between history and fiction (especially plays); historiography and literary criticism or theory; poetry and philosophy; and irony, both rhetorical and philosophical.Theater and World continues to have lasting relevance for anyone with an interest in Shakespeare's words and his representation of history in particular.

The bill of lading has been the subject of numerous articles, dissertations and textbooks over the years, and this is hardly surprising. The bill of lading has a fascinating history, it has several functions with roots in both contract and property law, and its issuance may trigger the application of an international convention on the carriage of goods by sea, the Hague-Visby Rules. Whereas most books on the subject deal with the bill of lading in general, however, this book zooms in on the straight bill of lading and covers the differences (and simularities) with a negotiable (order or bearer) bill of lading
