The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

Hyungkee Kim analyses the model of East Asian development as it existed during periods of high growth and how it was transformed by pressures from both the Washington consensus and its own internal contradictions. Many have discussed the successes and failures of the East Asian model but Kim is concerned rather with the story of its transformation and its long-term sustainability. He uses a Five Sector Model which focuses on the state corporate financial labour and foreign sectors to identify the core of East Asian model and examine the variants in Korea Japan and China. He also outlines the distinctions between the East Asian model and Western development models including the Anglo-American Rhine and Nordic models. He analyses in detail the institutional changes such as marketization privatization liberalization and flexibilization that have transformed the East Asian model. Highlighting the major problems that emerged from the transformation of the East Asian model Kim assesses its prospects for economic social and ecological sustainability and proposes an agenda for institutional reforms. An essential reading for scholars of East Asian political economy. | The East Asian Model Transformation and Sustainability

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

First published in 1989 Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model assumes that since the October Revolution the development of the Soviet Union has essentially been a process of trial and error. Economic rationality has been sacrificed to political expedients and the cultural sphere has been put to use as a legitimating and rationalizing device. This book analyses the internal logic of this process from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to Gorbachev’s ‘revolution from above’ including coverage of the Stalin Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras. The book focuses on the structural determinants of the Soviet Model thus seeking to reveal the specific rationalities that characterizes ‘Soviet man’. Its conclusion casts serious doubt on the likelihood of new policies defeating seven decades of Bolshevik rule and social indoctrination. It will be of interest to students of economics political science and history. | Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

This book explores the attributes of an integrated model for infrastructure delivery as a means to achieve high impact investing sustainable growth and development in a developing economy. An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies: Planning and Delivery Management Attributes is premised on the understanding that one of the most significant barriers to efficient and effective infrastructure delivery is the nature and extent of fragmentation in the ways in which infrastructure projects are planned designed and delivered. Using a Delphi method the research presented in this book examines the infrastructure delivery models and practices that have been employed in South Africa and other developing countries and in doing so presents eight attributes for integrated infrastructure delivery. These are: (i) developing a common vision for the community (ii) stakeholder participation (iii) integrated project development and scoping (iv) access to planning information (v) cross-sectoral planning (vi) integrated infrastructure master plans (vii) statutory and regulatory compliance and (viii) integrated contractual frameworks. The book presents a practical model that can serve as a guide and a manual for project planning and development to achieve integrated infrastructure delivery in developing economies. The proposed model should serve as a framework to inform future planning and programming of infrastructure projects within the public sector space. Furthermore the application of the model will help resolve the problems of fragmentation and lack of coordination in how infrastructure projects are planned and implemented. This book will be beneficial to infrastructure practitioners policymakers researchers and academics who pursue best practice models to improve the delivery and management of infrastructure. | An Integrated Infrastructure Delivery Model for Developing Economies Planning and Delivery Management Attributes

Masculinity Meets Humanity An Adapted Model of Masculinised Psychotherapy

Masculinity Meets Humanity An Adapted Model of Masculinised Psychotherapy

In this book the author a clinical psychologist reflects on her psychotherapy experiences with male clients as she debunks the myth of male alexithymia the inability to recognise and express emotions. Men are apparently disengaged from wellness practices as they are perceived to be reluctant to seek mental health care. An ubuntu-inspired personhood discourse of trust empathy and transformation theoretically underpins the author’s clinical practice. The integration of the culturally familiar philosophy of ubuntu challenges the hegemony of strictly modern Western psychological discourses and theories. Although the book is not a manual for how to do therapy with men neither a panacea for all male related challenges it can ignite empathic insights and kindle gender sensitive responses to male concerns locally and internationally. Women who are frequently the targets of gender-based violence primarily committed by men may play a significant role in the rehabilitation and healing of men. Men are usually excluded from psychosocial interventions but this book makes the case that prioritsing the wellbeing of boys and men is critical to creating a society that is safe for everyone—men women children and the broader public.

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

The social processes which underpin and shape our lives have the power to significantly transform the trajectories of people experiencing recovery from addiction and desistance from crime. Recovery from addiction and desistance from crime are processes which are often experienced and supported in the same physical spaces and are also frequently experienced by the same people. This book therefore synthesises and presents research on the social influences of recovery and desistance. This book presents the social component model of recovery from addiction and desistance from crime: a strength-based approach presenting case studies to better understand the social factors of both recovery from addiction and desistance from crime and therefore a step towards enhancing evidence-based policy and practice. The social components that have emerged and will be discussed within this book include relationships and social bonds; social identity group membership and social networks; and social capital. Compiled based on observations interviews and social identity mapping methods this work combines and presents theory and research to enhance and strengthen the evidence available for people who are already teaching about supporting and experiencing both desistance from crime and recovery from addiction in practice. | Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Academic Achievement in Bilingual and Immersion Education TransAcquisition Pedagogy and Curriculum Design

Academic Achievement in Bilingual and Immersion Education TransAcquisition Pedagogy and Curriculum Design

This book is about two innovative methods for teachers of bilingual students to use in improving their academic achievement. Transacquisition Pedagogy or TAP developed by Tauwehe Sophie Tamati is the method described in the book’s first part. It uses principles of flexible bilingualism and a task sequenced approach. The success of TAP in an intervention study in two of New Zealand’s Māori schools illustrates how cognitive and linguistic processes can be used to increase student conceptual understanding and to improve their academic biliteracy. Part two is about the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model) created by Elizabeth Rata. It shows teachers how to design concepts content and competencies to connect academic knowledge and thinking processes. The CDC Model has proved its success in the Knowledge-Rich School Project in New Zealand and England. TransAcquistion Pedagogy and the CDC Model are aligned. TAP works by putting the CDC design method into practice. The separate usefulness of TAP and the CDC Model and the added value of their alignment provides an innovative approach to education. Used together or separately they provide invaluable teaching methods for bilingual immersion and mainstream education. | Academic Achievement in Bilingual and Immersion Education TransAcquisition Pedagogy and Curriculum Design
