International Perspectives on Practice and Research into Children's Rights
"The discussion in this book take into account the need for not only focusing on individual perspectives and practices but also examining the social structures that impact on children's rights. It provides a nuanced discussion in relation to the academic debates in the field, but also extends its scope by providing a powerful illustration of how collaboration between academics and practitioners can advance knowledge and impact on practices." Dr Nidhi Singal, University of Cambridge. International Perspectives on Practice and Research into Children's Rights is intended as a facilitator of cross-border conversations between practitioners, researchers and policy-makers working in the broader field of education and children's rights. The volume is co-edited by Dr Gabriela Martinez Sainz (Centre for Human Rights Studies) and Dr Sonia Ilie (University of Cambridge). It brings together contributions that provide relevant examples of research and practices combining critical and theoretical explorations and empirical evidence about children's rights, addressing issues such as access to education, inequality, violence, corporal punishment and child participation.
Andean Lives
Gregorio Condori Mamani and Asunta Quispe Huamán were runakuna, a Quechua word that means "people" and refers to the millions of indigenous inhabitants neglected, reviled, and silenced by the dominant society in Peru and other Andean countries. For Gregorio and Asunta, however, that silence was broken when Peruvian anthropologists Ricardo Valderrama Fernández and Carmen Escalante Gutiérrez recorded their life stories. The resulting Spanish-Quechua narrative, published in the mid-1970s and since translated into many languages, has become a classic introduction to the lives and struggles of the "people" of the Andes. Andean Lives is the first English translation of this important book. Work...

Global Media Giants
Global Media Giants takes an in-depth look at how media corporate power works globally, regionally, and nationally, investigating the ways in which the largest and most powerful media corporations in the world wield power. Case studies examine not only some of the largest media corporations (News Corp., The Microsoft Corporation) in terms of revenues, but also media corporations that hold considerable power within national, regional, or geolinguistic contexts (Televisa, The Bertelsmann Group, Sony Corporation). Each chapter approaches a different corporation through the lens of economy, politics, and culture, giving students and scholars a thoughtful and data-driven guide with which to interrogate contemporary media industry power.
Political Economy of Media Industries
This book provides a critical political economic examination of the impact of increasingly concentrated global media industries. It addresses different media and communication industries from around the globe, including film, television, music, journalism, telecommunication, and information industries. The authors use case studies to examine how changing methods of production and distribution are impacting a variety of issues including globalization, environmental devastation, and the shifting role of the State. This collection finds communication at a historical moment in which capitalist control of media and communication is the default status and, so, because of the increasing levels of concentration globally allows those in control to define the default ideological status. In turn, these concentrated media forces are deployed under the guise of entertainment but with a mind towards further concentration and control of the media apparatuses many times in convergence with others

Global Value Chains and Uneven Development
Globale Wertschöpfungsketten (GWK) bieten überall auf der Welt Möglichkeiten für ökonomische und soziale Aufwertung? Das kolportieren zumindest Institutionen wie die Weltbank. Diese Annahme ist jedoch weder theoretisch noch empirisch haltbar, so der Befund von Christin Bernhold. Die Argumentation stützt sich auf eine ideologiekritische Diskussion der GWK-Forschung und eine umfassende Analyse von Upgrading-Strategien im argentinischen Agribusiness. Wirtschaftsverbände organisieren sich dort entlang von Agrar-Wertschöpfungsketten, um Partikularinteressen durchzusetzen. Durch »upgrading in and through class differentiation« werden Ausbeutungsverhältnisse und die ungleichen Geographien des Kapitalismus zum Wohle einiger weniger umgeformt, nicht aber aufgehoben.
