Nowhere To Go But Down? Peasant Farming and the International Development Game

Originally published in 1989 this book is a unique examination of subsistence farming in the developing world and its potential for development. The author writes from the conviction that the farming system is limited in its potential for development by the energy value of manpower and that unless the plight of developing world communities is understood and the importance of manpower constraint recognized inputs of development funds will be wasted. Clarifying the strengths and limitations of the subsistence farming system the book makes clear the complexities and difficulties encountered in achieving agricultural development in the poorest countries – providing an informed insight into the inevitability of future famine. | Nowhere To Go But Down?

A Clash of Paradigms Response and Development in the South Pacific

This title was first published in 2001. This study indicates that researchers have far to go in understanding and assessing how development projects work. The author shows that often the perception of failure is not shared by those whom were intended to benefit. She uses a case study of Samoan villagers introduced to cattle farming to examine the wider development process and challenge the conventional theories. By drawing on people-centred perspectives that give much greater weight to the role of culture in development the volume does not simply criticize development project management but suggests practical and positive ways forward encouraging spontaneous indigenous development which should be supported by projects where appropriate. | A Clash of Paradigms Response and Development in the South Pacific

Revival: Law in the Modern State (1921)

It is perhaps worth explaining why there is a special importance in the present development of the theory of the State. Law like every social phenomenon is subject to perpetual change; indeed any scientific study of law must necessarily involve an analysis of the evolution of legal institutions. In a sense therefore the trasnformation of the state is also the transformation of its law. But we must go a little deeper. The real justification of this book is the immediate situation of political theory. Just as every living being has moments in its existence when even while obeying the general law of its life it undergoes a change that is especially fundamental in importance so it is in the history of peoples. | Revival: Law in the Modern State (1921)

Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Despite intense research on decision-making in action we still know little about when decision-makers rely on deliberate vs. intuitive decision-making in decision situations under complexity and uncertainty. Building on default-interventionist dual-processing theory this book studies decision-making modes (deliberate vs. intuitive) in complex task environments contingent on perceived complexity experience and decision style preference. We find that relatively inexperienced decision-makers respond to increases in subjective complexity with an increase in deliberation and tend to follow their decision style preference. Experienced decision-makers are less guided by their decision preference and respond to increases in subjective complexity only minimally. This book contributes to a developing stream of research linking decision-making with intra-personal and environmental properties and fosters our understanding of the conditions under which decision-makers rely on intuitive vs. deliberate decision modes. In doing so we go one step further towards a comprehensive theory of decision-making in action. | Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural uses an autoethnographic account of the author’s experience of living in Iran in the 1970s to demonstrate the constant struggle to prevent the intercultural from being dominated by essentialist grand narratives that falsely define us within separate bounded national or civilisational cultures. This book provides critical insight that: DeCentres how we encounter and research the intercultural by means of a third-space methodology Recovers the figurative creative flowing and boundary-dissolving power of culture Recognises hybrid integration which enables us the choice and agency to be ourselves with others in intercultural settings Demonstrates how early native-speakerism pulls us back to essentialist large-culture blocks. Aimed at students and researchers in applied linguistics intercultural studies sociology and education this volume shows how cultural difference in stories personal space language practices and values generates unexpected and transcendent threads of experience to which we can all relate within small culture formation on the go.

Construction Safety Management Systems

The construction industry has a distressingly poor safety record whether measured in absolute terms or alongside other industries. The level of construction safety in a country is influenced by factors such as variations in the labour forces shifting economies insurance rates legal ramifications and the stage of technological development. Yet the problem is a world-wide one and many of the ways of tackling it can be applied across countries. Effective tools include designing preplanning training management commitment and the development of a safety culture. The introduction and operation of effective safety management systems represents a viable way forwards but these systems are all too rarely implemented. How can this be done? Should we go back to prescriptive legislation? This book considers these questions by drawing together leading-edge research papers from the proceedings of an international conference conducted by a commission (W099) on Safety and Health on Construction Sites of CIB the international council of building research organisations. | Construction Safety Management Systems
