Striking a Balance
At a time of rapid global change, development NGOs are having to scale up their impact, diversify their activities, respond to long-term crises and improve their performance on all fronts. Striking a Balance offers both analysis and a practical guide to how NGDOs can fulfil these demanding expectations. Written for all those involved with NGDO work, the book describes the objectives of sustainablepeople-centred development and the process required to achieve it, focusing on the five factors which determine effectiveness: suitable organisational design; competent leadership and human resources; appropriate external relationships; mobilisation of high quality finance; and the measurement of pe...

Managing Redundancy
The issue of redundancy presents a uniquely moral, commercial and legal dilemma.

It covers the following issues: avoiding redundancy, including explanation of the alternatives; understanding what redundancy is, and how it relates to dismissal; handling individual redundancies; selecting employees for redundancy - fairly, legally and efficiently; redundancy compensation and how to calculate it; and caring for redundant employees.

Negotiating, Persuading and Influencing
In this 2010 edition of their book on the economic development of the Middle East and North Africa, Clement Henry and Robert Springborg reflect on what has happened to the region's economy since 2001. How have the various countries in the Middle East responded to the challenges of globalization and to the rise of political Islam, and what changes, for better or for worse, have occurred? Utilizing the country categories they applied in the previous book and further elaborating the significance of the structural power of capital and Islamic finance, they demonstrate how over the past decade the monarchies (as exemplified by Jordan, Morocco and those of the Gulf Cooperation Council) and the conditional democracies (Israel, Turkey and Lebanon) continue to do better than the military dictatorships or 'bullies' (Egypt, Tunisia and now Iran) and 'the bunker states' (Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen).

The King's Lieutenant
"One of the most powerful men in fourteenth-century England after Edward III was Henry of Grosmont, First Duke of Lancaster. This is the first biography ever to appear of the nobleman, soldier, diplomat and administrator who played such a significant role in shaping English foreign policy during the early stages of the Hundred Years War, and the only comprehensive account of English foreign affairs during that period to appear for over half a century. There are few laymen of the time about whom so much can be known, largely because of the important role he played in events, but also because the family records became part of the state archives after his grandson, Henry Bolingbroke, seized the...
