Monomial Algebras

Monomial Algebras Second Edition presents algebraic combinatorial and computational methods for studying monomial algebras and their ideals including Stanley–Reisner rings monomial subrings Ehrhart rings and blowup algebras. It emphasizes square-free monomials and the corresponding graphs clutters or hypergraphs. New to the Second Edition Four new chapters that focus on the algebraic properties of blowup algebras in combinatorial optimization problems of clutters and hypergraphs Two new chapters that explore the algebraic and combinatorial properties of the edge ideal of clutters and hypergraphs Full revisions of existing chapters to provide an up-to-date account of the subject Bringing together several areas of pure and applied mathematics this book shows how monomial algebras are related to polyhedral geometry combinatorial optimization and combinatorics of hypergraphs. It directly links the algebraic properties of monomial algebras to combinatorial structures (such as simplicial complexes posets digraphs graphs and clutters) and linear optimization problems.

Routledge Handbook of Sport and Politics

Sport is frequently considered to be an aspect of popular culture that is or should be untainted by the political. However there is a broad consensus among academics that sport is often at the heart of the political and the political is often central to sport. From the 1936 Olympic Games in Nazi Germany to the civil unrest that preceded the 2014 World Cup in Brazil sport and politics have remained symbiotic bedfellows. The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Politics goes further than any other book in surveying the complex embedded relationships between sport and politics. With sections addressing ideologies nation and statehood corporate politics political activism social justice and the politics of sports events it introduces the conceptual foundations that underpin our understanding of the sport-politics nexus and examines emergent issues in this field of study. Including in-depth case studies from North America South America Europe the Middle East Africa and Asia this is an essential reference for anybody with an interest in the social scientific study of sport.

Event Bidding Politics Persuasion and Resistance

Bidding contests for sporting and cultural events are attracting increasing media and public attention. Yet despite the cost size and scale of these bidding contests relatively little academic attention has been paid to the strategies and tactics used to develop successful bids. Event Bidding: Politics Persuasion and Resistance develops a comprehensive critical understanding of the bidding processes surrounding the award of major peripatetic events. This is achieved by drawing together existing knowledge on the subject of event bidding combining this with historical and contemporary examples to enable a critical commentary on the bidding process itself and the struggle for power that it represents. The text draws on case studies of ‘mega events’ including the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games as well as a range of smaller peripatetic events from across the world to analyse the bidding process and some of the increasingly controversial issues which emerge during often lengthy and expensive bid campaigns. Finally the text reflects on a range of critical issues of contemporary significance in bidding contests including the growing ethical and governance issues surrounding the development and award of events as well as the impact of growing oppositional movements surrounding each contest. This timely volume brings theory and practice together in one place to produce a critical appraisal of a phenomenon with a relatively recent history and is particularly suitable for students researchers and academics of sports events tourism and related subject fields focusing on the strategic and political dimensions of major events. | Event Bidding Politics Persuasion and Resistance

Policing Major Events Perspectives from Around the World

Whenever a major event requires police intervention questions are raised about the nature of the police response. Could the police have prevented the conflict been better prepared reacted more quickly? Could they have acted more forcefully or brought the altercation under control more effectively? Based upon real case studies of events from all over the world this volume explores the complex set of factors comprising the policing of major events. Topics covered include: Police procedures in Serbia in response to sporting events and violence The 2010 World Cup in South Africa as a model of best practice in governance structures along with the region’s struggles in routine policing initiatives Security operations at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Canada and the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in London in 2012 Community involvement to curb terrorist insurgency in North Eastern Nigeria Governmental response to Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Texas Revisions made to NYPD protocols following the September 11 attacks Policing strategies for major events on Aboriginal and tribal lands across Canada Other topics include the police/protestor relationship and low-profile versus high-profile policing strategies in crowd control the growing strategy of private security in working with public police forces and enhancing public safety in post-conflict regions. The concepts presented in Policing Major Events: Perspectives from Around the World will enable police departments to improve their readiness for policing major events across a diverse set of events and socio-political contexts. This book is a co-publication with the International Police Executive Symposium. | Policing Major Events Perspectives from Around the World
