Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe (1987) examines the movement of workers from less prosperous parts of Europe to areas with demand for their services. The author identifies seven major systems of migrant labour: the North Sea System (mainly Westphalian workers heading for the German and Dutch North Sea Coast and Walloon/French workers bound for the Belgian and Zeeland coasts); the area between London and the Humber; the Paris Basin; Provence Languedoc and Catalonia; Castile; Piedmont; and central Italy with Corsica. A detailed study of the first of these systems tracing its development and changes is brought into a synchronic relation with data for the other regions. The evidence shows major waves of immigration in the seventeenth century and a rapid diminution of migratory labour to the North Sea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century a time when new ‘pull areas’ were created by the expanding industrial complexes of Germany and labour began to come in from areas outside Europe. | Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

Hidden Treasure is a follow up to Oaklander's first book Windows To Our Children. Most of the books available in working with this population are written from a traditional 'play therapy' point of view. The Gestalt Therapy-based approach provides a more effective method for psychotherapeutic work with children of all ages. The focus is on the relationship between the therapist and client rather than observation and interpretation. It is a vigorous dynamic approach. Violet Oaklander uses a wide variety of creative expressive and projective techniques in her work and each chapter reflects and exemplifies the use of this work in the service of therapy. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of ages as well as individual family and group settings. The book will interest child and adolescent psychotherapists psychologists social workers counselors interns school personnel as well as graduate-level students. Parents may also find it helpful as well as adults who are interested in the child within. | Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Over recent decades it has been widely recognised that terrorist attacks at sea could result in major casualties and cause significant disruptions to the free flow of international shipping. After discussing the overlaps and distinctions between piracy and maritime terrorism this book considers how the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and other vessel identification and tracking measures in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea would be likely to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks at sea. It explains how the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is less than clear on the powers of states to protect offshore installations submarine cables and pipelines from interference by terrorists. In light of these uncertainties it considers how the 2005 Protocol to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Maritime Navigation the doctrine of necessity and states’ inherent self-defence rights might apply in the maritime security context. A significant contribution of the book is the formulation of the Maritime Terrorism Threat Matrix which provides a structured framework for examining how maritime terrorism incidents have occurred and might occur in the future. The book also examines the relevant national maritime security legislation for preventing maritime terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom and in Australia. The book concludes by formulating guidelines for the unilateral interdiction of suspected terrorist vessels in exceptional circumstances and recommending priorities for governments and international maritime industries to focus on in order to reduce the risk for terrorist attacks at sea. It will be of interest to those working in the areas of Law and Terrorism Law of the Sea Maritime Law and Insurance and International Law. | Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea follows a comprehensive approach and can be interpreted dynamically to include the regulation of all potential human uses of the ocean but the law of the sea cannot be viewed in isolation from other fields of international law. International law does not resemble a hierarchically structured legal system; its different parts interact when different rules address the same activity or situation. The academic discussion concerning the specialization and proliferation of international legal rules and dispute settlement bodies has theoretical as well as practical relevance for the law of the sea and its interaction with other parts of international law. The intensified use of the oceans for different purposes and the ongoing proliferation of international rules addressing different activities from different perspectives and with distinct foci require a more thorough evaluation of how the law of the sea relates to other fields of international law how the normative context can be approached theoretically and if interdisciplinary interfaces can be adequately addressed. This book discusses the normative context of the law of the sea and the interactions of the law of the sea with other legal regimes. By connecting high-quality research with new ideas and perspectives this book offers expertise from different fields and perspectives in which the interaction between the law of the sea and other fields of international law becomes particularly relevant. | The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Climate change is modifying in varying measure the coastal geography of States. The phenomenon is not temporary but is expected to carry on during the 21st century and beyond. A distinctive feature of modern international law is the concept of maritime zones. Each maritime area is subject to an intricate scheme of States’ rights and obligations. Coastal geography is a fundamental component of a long-standing method developed and agreed upon between States to establish the outward limits of these areas. A feature of this method is the baseline. In international law it is the only reference line from where the outward limits of maritime zones are measured. There are clear rules on how this is established along a coast. There is a concern amongst a number of States that rising sea water levels as a result of climate change may compel them to shift their baselines inward thus affecting the outward limits of their maritime zones. It is clear that the stability of maritime boundaries is put into question and this may bring about serious political legal and economic repercussions. This concern may also affect the outcome of dispute settlement procedures before a competent international court or tribunal the purpose of which is to resolve overlapping maritime claims. Key questions emerge. What is the role played by coastal geography in the legal regime determining the outward limits of maritime zones? What are the consequences of changes to coastal geography? To what extent are dispute settlement procedures before a Court or Tribunal immune from this concern? Is international law able to address this? If so in what way and what are its limits? What can be done to resolve this? | Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

Bailey describes how the Sea of Okhotsk area became integrated into a world system of economic and cultural ties between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This happened primarily because of maritime explorations travel and trade which led to increased connections with both Russia and Japan.

This includes analyses of explorers and travelers who traversed the region for commerce exploration diplomacy and possible colonization. Historical sources are explored from the different perspectives of Russians Japanese Indigenous peoples and international observers from Western countries. Cross-cultural encounters in the region among these groups led to collaboration syncretism and resistance sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. The last chapter discusses how some international travelers and foreign residents of Hokkaidō described the area at the end of the nineteenth century. Their perspectives confirm that Hokkaidō had become a fully colonized space. An essential resource for students and scholars of cross-cultural studies Russian history Japanese history and Ainu and Indigenous history. | Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

EU Environmental Policies in Subnational Regions The Case of Scotland and Bavaria

EU Environmental Policies in Subnational Regions The Case of Scotland and Bavaria

This title was first published in 2001: Despite the fact that environmental directives are one of the strongest areas of policy decreed by the EU it has a much poorer record when it comes to actual implementation of these policies. Instead of focusing on the traditional state-centrist accounts this book compares two subnational regions within the EU Scotland and Bavaria and their role in the policy process. The author offers a multi-layered implementation map which highlights three main government ’layers’ involved in the filtering process and identifies various formal and informal determinants which shape EU environmental policies during the process. The book not only compares implementation performances between the two regions and their respective states but also compares the region’s processes against the national processes thereby exposing determinants that would otherwise remain undetected. In doing so it confirms that subnational regions feature determinants which differ in many respects from national determinants and influence the effectiveness of EU environmental policies. The book contributes to a better understanding of the implementation deficit and presents a more refined picture of the EU environmental policy ’reality’. | EU Environmental Policies in Subnational Regions The Case of Scotland and Bavaria

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy (1986) examines the role that liberalism played in shaping the naval strategy of the Pax Britannia. Liberalism was linked to commercial interest and the devotion of the middle classes to peaceful commerce and their suspicion of force as government policy helped to inform critical choices. The traditional British naval strategy of the mercantilist era persisted into the early nineteenth century when the Royal Navy’s policing of the seas against piracy and the slave trade antagonized trade rivals particularly America. By the 1850s Britain granted immunity to neutral shipping – after much debate with some of the century’s leading thinkers including Mill and Marx taking prominent parts in the naval controversies. This book examines these events as well as the writings of contemporary naval strategists including the Colomb brothers. It also discusses the strategic posture of the Admiralty and its opponents before and during the war against Germany in 1914. | Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Case Studies in Physical Education Revised Edition applies the case study method to the field of physical education where it is an effective means for future teachers to explore challenging scenarios that they are likely to encounter in their careers. These engaging reader-friendly case studies provide readers with concrete suggestions for connecting classroom theory with what actually happens in school. Theories and concepts concerning educational philosophy methodology curriculum discipline and assessment become more meaningful when explored in a case scenario in which the central characters confront situations that develop as a consequence of their or others' pedagogical choices. The cases in this book also promote critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Each case is followed by questions that prompt readers to analyze the situation formulate a plan of action to address the problem and anticipate and evaluate the potential consequences of the plan's implementation. In small groups individually or as a whole class readers can explore and debate their strategies for addressing the issues. Readers will learn there is no one right answer to situations that can occur in the education environment. They will develop their communication skills as they learn to articulate and defend a plan of action to address the situation and they will also learn the importance of collaborating with colleagues as they listen to and learn from the ideas of others. These cases were prepared by 36 experienced physical educators (from the elementary secondary and university levels)who collaborated in teams to create cases based on their collective real-life experiences. As a result the cases take place in a variety of contexts: in elementary middle and high schools; in urban suburban rural schools; and in wealthy and needy districts. They present a variety of issues encountered in schools today including issues related to teaching methods classroom management multicultural education classroom assessment inclusion relations with co-workers marginalization of physical education and gender equity. As in real life each case raises a number of related issues that stimulate further discussion or provide opportunities for assignments. This revised edition contains the same proven effective case studies as in the first edition while incorporating minor updating throughout to reflect changes in technology and society since its original publication. | Case Studies in Physical Education Real World Preparation for Teaching

Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism

Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism

New technologies and medicines make it increasingly possible to enhance human functioning in new ways: to become smarter more emotionally attuned and perhaps even morally better. But just because we can use the latest science to improve ourselves should we? This book has two main aims. First it outlines and criticises the six main contemporary arguments for scepticism about the role of human enhancements in promoting well-being. These arguments concern respectively (i) the value of achievements (ii) freedom (iii) hyperagency (iv) human nature (v) authenticity and (vi) inequality. It will be shown – for the first time in a book-length treatment – why the overarching bioconservative case against enhancement doesn’t hold water. The second central aim of the book is positive; as we’ll see each of the bioconservative critiques considered and rejected will be shown to nonetheless motivate a distinctive kind of theoretical desideratum that a viable positive enhancement proposal should satisfy. The remainder of the book then defends a two-part enhancement proposal that will be shown to clearly satisfy the theoretical desiderata that emerged from reflecting on the earlier critique of bioconservativism. The first part of the positive proposal motivates and outlines the general role of an enhancement counsellor in facilitating voluntary enhancement; I then offer an applied case study of this role in the special case of enhancement for the purpose of facilitating romantic and parental relationships. Human Enhancement and Well-Being: A Case for Optimism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in applied ethics bioethics philosophy of technology philosophy of well-being and social epistemology. | Human Enhancement and Well-Being A Case for Optimism

Positive Alternatives to Exclusion

Positive Alternatives to Exclusion

Positive Alternatives to School Exclusion looks at what schools can do to build more harmonious communities and engage students - particularly those at risk of exclusion - more productively in all areas of school life. It describes the Positive Alternatives to School Exclusion Project a multi-phase collaborative initiative based at the School of Education University of Cambridge. Drawing on the perspectives of staff and pupils the authors provide detailed case studies of the approaches and strategies being adopted in a variety of settings (primary secondary and FE) to foster inclusion and reduce and prevent exclusion. It also identifies a number of different frameworks drawn from the case studies which can be used by practitioners working in other settings to support their own reflection and development work. Particular importance is placed throughout the book on valuing the domain of personal experience in the life of the school community. The authors explore this theme in detail suggesting ways in which it might become a priority focus of further development work in schools. | Positive Alternatives to Exclusion
