Track Two Diplomacy Between India and Pakistan Peace Negotiations and Initiatives

Track Two Diplomacy between India and Pakistan studies the nature and context of providing an alternative platform for conflict resolution between the two countries. Considered one of the most intractable conflicts in the world the India-Pakistan conflict has been defined by casualties religious extremism and the looming threat of war. With the conflict playing out against the backdrop of many nationalisms official Track One diplomacy remains insufficient. The author analyses the role of Track Two diplomacy when official diplomacy remains confined and sensitive to their respective official positions as well as the contribution of maintaining various communication lines intact when official channels are suspended and inaccessible. In this context this book explores citizen-led diplomatic efforts probing the economic and ideological forms of power that influence this mode of diplomacy outside governmental channels. The book is a general evaluation of the Track Two process in terms of its achievements challenges and failures vis-à-vis India and Pakistan. An original contribution towards the development of a conceptual understanding of Track Two diplomacy this book will be of interest to researchers studying International Relations Foreign Politics South Asian Politics with particular emphasis on India - Pakistan relations. | Track Two Diplomacy Between India and Pakistan Peace Negotiations and Initiatives

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

On the Write Track A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing in Primary Schools

On the Write Track puts teachers’ autonomy and their knowledge of what is right for their pupils at the heart of teaching writing. It explores a set of research-based principles before illustrating these with case studies and examples of classroom practice. Writing is about communication. Learning to write gives children a voice that others will listen to – a voice they can use to share their ideas articulate their feelings amuse and delight their readers and argue for what they believe in. While every child every teacher and every classroom are different approaches to teaching writing can sometimes feel prescriptive whether they are based on a particular curriculum model commercial scheme assessment system or underlying philosophy. This book provides freedom and choice by introducing a series of ‘tracks’ for writing teaching including practical approaches to: Building a community of writers in the classroom Employing a process-led sequence for teaching writing Encouraging children to write for pleasure and share their own interests Exploring the use of rich and diverse texts as fuel for writing Drawing on spoken language and oracy to develop written communication Teaching grammar and punctuation to support writing Utilising feedback to help children develop their writing voice Using drama and play as starting points for writing Through considering these different tracks and thinking about how to weave them together into a coherent whole teachers can help every child to make the journey to being a confident skilled keen writer. | On the Write Track A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing in Primary Schools

Inclusive Collegiality and Nontenure-Track Faculty Engaging All Faculty as Colleagues to Promote Healthy Departments and Institutions

Inclusive Collegiality and Nontenure-Track Faculty Engaging All Faculty as Colleagues to Promote Healthy Departments and Institutions

This book focuses on the status and work of full-time non-tenure-track faculty (NTTF) whose ranks are increasing as tenure track faculty (TTF) make up a smaller percentage of the professoriate. NTTF experience highly uneven and conditional access to collegiality are often excluded from decision-making spaces and receive limited respect from their TTF colleagues because of outdated notions that link perceived expertise almost exclusively to scholarship. The result is often a sub-class of faculty marginalized in their departments which reduces the inclusion of diverse voices in academic governance professional relationships and student learning. Given these implications the authors ask how can departments institutions and the profession do more to engage NTTF as full and active colleagues? The limited access of NTTF to the rights and responsibilities of collegiality harms institutional success in several ways. Given the full-time nature of their work and the heavy (but not exclusive) focus on instruction NTTF are likely to be on campus as much or more than TTF and thus be engaged with students colleagues and administrators in ways that more closely resemble TTF than part-time faculty. Their limited access to collegial spaces makes it harder for them to do their jobs by restricting access to information and input into decision-making. Moreover since the greatest growth among women faculty and faculty of color is in NTTF roles their exclusion from collegiality and decision-making negates the very diversity the profession claims to seek. Finally colleges and universities face financial curricular and organizational challenges which require broad input although the burden of governance is falling on fewer shoulders as the percentage of TTF declines and NTTF are excluded from these spaces. Ultimately NTTF must be engaged as partners and colleagues in supporting institutional health. This book – the fruit of extensive data collection at two institutions over a five-year period – describes lessons learned from and benefits experienced by departments that have successfully supported and engaged NTTF as colleagues. Drawing on their research data and analysis of “healthy” departments that integrate NTTF the authors identify the practices policies and approaches that support NTTF inclusion shape a more positive workplace environment improve morale satisfaction and commitment and fully leverage the expertise of NTTF and the valuable human capital they represent. The authors argue that this more inclusive collegiality improves governance supports institutional success and serves diverse institutional missions. Though primarily addressed to institutional leaders department chairs tenure-line faculty and leaders in the academic profession it is hoped that the findings will be useful to NTTF who are engaged as advocates for and partners in the change process required to address the evolving structure of the university faculty. | Inclusive Collegiality and Nontenure-Track Faculty Engaging All Faculty as Colleagues to Promote Healthy Departments and Institutions

U.S. Freight Rail Economics and Policy Are We on the Right Track?

U.S. Freight Rail Economics and Policy Are We on the Right Track?

The passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980 led brought a renaissance to the freight rail industry. In the decade following economists documented the effects of the Act on a variety of important economic metrics including prices costs and productivity. Over the preceding years and with the return of the industry to more stable footing attention to the industry by economists faded. The lack of attention however has not been due to a dearth of ongoing economic and policy issues that continue to confront the industry. In this volume we begin to rectify this inattention. Rather than retread older analyses or provide yet another look at the consequences of Staggers we assemble a collection of ten chapters in four sections that collectively provide fresh and up-to-date analyses of the economic issues and policy challenges the industry faces: the first section sets the context through foundational discussion of freight rail; the second section highlights the role of freight rail in an increasingly interrelated economy; the third section examines industry structure and scope in freight rail; and the fourth section assesses current regulatory challenges that confront freight rail. This book will be of great value to researchers academics policymakers and students interested in the fields of freight rail economics and policy transportation business history and regulatory economics. | U.

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

In recent years interest in the thought of Kierkegaard has grown dramatically and with it the body of secondary literature has expanded so quickly that it has become impossible for even the most conscientious scholar to keep pace. The problem of the explosion of secondary literature is made more acute by the fact that much of what is written about Kierkegaard appears in languages that most Kierkegaard scholars do not know. Kierkegaard has become a global phenomenon and new research traditions have emerged in different languages countries and regions. The present volume is dedicated to trying to help to resolve these two problems in Kierkegaard studies. Its purpose is first to provide book reviews of some of the leading monographic studies in the Kierkegaard secondary literature so as to assist the community of scholars to become familiar with the works that they have not read for themselves. The aim is thus to offer students and scholars of Kierkegaard a comprehensive survey of works that have played a more or less significant role in the research. Second the present volume also tries to make accessible many works in the Kierkegaard secondary literature that are written in different languages and thus to give a glimpse into various and lesser-known research traditions. The six tomes of the present volume present reviews of works written in Catalan Chinese Czech Danish Dutch English Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Slovak Spanish and Swedish. | Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z
