The Quality of European Societies
This volume presents a compilation of composite indicators created in order to measure important aspects of the quality of European societies. It examines three main questions: do Europeans live in good societies and enjoy good lives; are European societies becoming better as time passes, or is their quality slowly deteriorating; is the quality of life of Europe’s citizens improving over time or is it gradually and irrecoverably getting worse. The volume uses a precise and rigorous system of information to answer these questions and to assess the current situation and monitor the quality of European societies. It describes and discusses fourteen key domains, and per chapter, presents five ...
Drug War
Drug War is a landmark modern history: the first ever full account of the United Kingdom’s fight against the illegal importation of drugs. Packed with remarkable revelations and thrilling anecdotes, it tells for the first time the story of the high-level traffickers who drugged Britain, and the secretive organisation that tried to stop them: the Investigation Division of HM Customs and Excise. The ID’s elite officers waged a fifty-year battle to stem the tide of cannabis, cocaine and heroin arriving by land, air and sea, and to track, arrest and prosecute the smuggling gangs, both organised and chaotic, who turned an amateur pastime into a multi-billion-pound trade. The result of more th...
Terrorism and Communication
Based on the premise that terrorism is essentially a message, Terrorism and Communication: A Critical Introduction examines terrorism from a communication perspective—making it the first text to offer a complete picture of the role of communication in terrorist activity. Through the extensive examination of state-of-the-art research on terrorism as well as recent case studies and speech excerpts, communication and terrorism scholar Jonathan Matusitz explores the ways that terrorists communicate messages through actions and discourse. Using a multifaceted approach, he draws valuable insights from relevant disciplines, including mass communication, political communication, and visual communication, as he illustrates the key role that media outlets play in communicating terrorists' objectives and examines the role of global communication channels in both spreading and combating terrorism. This is an essential introduction to understanding what terrorism is, how it functions primarily through communication, how we talk about it, and how we prevent it.
A Cannabis Reader
In Volume 1 we can read an autobiographical article on events in the United Kingdom in the late 1960s, recent cannabis developments in the EU's new Member States, the cannabis resin trade linking Morocco to northern Europe, the closure of Pusher Street in the Copenhagen commune of Christiania, and information on how coffee shops developed in the Netherlands. While these articles focus only on smaller pieces of the cannabis puzzle, they provide insights into the many different ways Europe has dealt with cannabis
Sociología por todas partes. Símbolos y representaciones sociales de lo cotidiano
La sociología está por todas partes porque la sociedad está por todas partes. Y porque la sociedad está minuciosamente insertada en la mente de cada persona. Porque integrarse socialmente supone una aprobación ineludible de lo que nos envuelve. Decir que sí a lo que constituye la familia, la escuela o el trabajo supone aceptar unos valores sociales que están confirmados en unas normas —escritas o no— que nos facilitan ser personas normales. Así que en la vida cotidiana asumimos lo que hacemos y cómo lo hacemos, dónde y con quién, y hasta de lo que pensamos y sentimos. Pero difícilmente somos capaces de aceptar lo que es invisible e insonorizado porque no se ve y no se oye. Un...
Handbuch Policy-Forschung
Das Handbuch bietet einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Policy-Forschung, der in drei Teile gegliedert ist. Die Theorie-Beiträge präsentieren die Annahmen, Grundideen, Hauptargumente und Hypothesen der jeweiligen Theorieansätze zur Erklärung von Policies und diskutieren die empirische Eignung der Theorie durch einen Überblick über den Forschungsstand. Die Beiträge „Methoden der Policy-Forschung“ stellen Grundzüge, Stärken und Schwächen sowie Anwendungsfelder einschlägiger Methoden dar. Anhand ausgewählter Politikfelder werden Ergebnisse der Policy-Forschung in unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Staatstätigkeit aufgezeigt und Querverbindungen sowohl zu den unterschiedlichen theoretischen Zugängen als auch zu unterschiedlichen Methoden gezogen.
Diversidad e inclusión en la universidad
En el contexto internacional, el discurso sobre diversidad e inclusión en la universidad lleva décadas siendo utilizado para avalar políticas de justicia social en esta institución. En España se trata de una temática novedosa, aunque emerge con firmeza frente a discursos elitistas que amparan la presencia en la universidad solo de aquellos que la merecen por su mérito, sin otras consideraciones relativas a la responsabilidad social de las instituciones. Dado su carácter innovador y la necesidad de un análisis riguroso, este libro presenta los resultados de una investigación realizada durante cuatro años por un equipo compuesto por investigadores e investigadoras de ocho universida...
