"This book explicates 'bullying' as a concept and as a social and cultural phenomenon that has become a defining reality of the times in which we live. The author begins in the arena where it is first, and most acutely individually, experienced-in school-and expands to other institutions and areas of social life-the family, the workplace, and the local, national, and international spheres, extending of the concept of bullying to the global arena to uncover the social and institutional root causes of the extreme forms of bullying such as trafficking, torture, terrorism, and genocide. The book discusses the steps taken to address these issues and analyses their efficacy. It explores the concept of epigenetics, brain development, childhood experiences, and other psychological factors that contribute to bullying behaviours and predispositions. The book investigates and compares anti-bullying and anti-violence initiatives taken particularly in the U.S, the U.K., Scotland, and India to address the issue and create community-wide resilience practices. It also describes the current trends in decisions from international, regional, and domestic law, and offers evidence-based policy recommendations to establish a culture of respect for human dignity. An interdisciplinary, intercultural exploration and analysis of the phenomenon of bullying, this book will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of psychology, sociology, anthropology, social justice and law, human rights, and cultural studies. It will also be useful for academic libraries, academicians, policy planners, school administration, government officials, and readers interested in reading about bullying"--

The presence of enterprising activity, which now permeates universities globally, leaves a notable legacy and impact on both individuals and institutions. This book explores the universal and growing relationship between entrepreneurship and higher education. Beginning with a general introduction to entrepreneurship education-related applications of pedagogy and educational philosophy, the book goes on to discuss institutional and stakeholder relevancy, followed by the cultural impact of entrepreneurship. In doing so, the book highlights the multifaceted nature of embedded entrepreneurship within institutions pedagogically, philosophically, socially, and structurally. Acknowledging several perspectives of entrepreneurship, the author addresses the core questions for higher education, reflects on thematic case studies concerning enterprise and entrepreneurship within the sector, and presents a new model for university-based entrepreneurship across teaching, research, and business development activities. Robert James Crammond (PhD in Entrepreneurship Education) is a Senior Lecturer in Enterprise at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS). His teaching activity and research publications focus on enterprise and entrepreneurship education, leadership, organisational development, and university-related stakeholders. He is a Senior Fellow of Advance HE (SFHEA), and a Certified Management and Business Educator (CMBE) with the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS). He currently leads, or is involved in, a number of consultancy, knowledge transfer, and small business projects across many sectors. Occasionally, he writes for a number of higher education-relevant organisations in the United Kingdom. These include contributions to Advance HE, CABS, and Wonkhe. He is the author of Advancing Entrepreneurship Education in Universities (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020).

The unlikely story of how Americans canonized Adam Smith as the patron saint of free marketsOriginally published in 1776, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was lauded by America's founders as a landmark work of Enlightenment thinking about national wealth, statecraft, and moral virtue. Today, Smith is one of the most influential icons of economic thought in America. Glory Liu traces how generations of Americans have read, reinterpreted, and weaponized Smith's ideas, revealing how his popular image as a champion of American-style capitalism and free markets is a historical invention.Drawing on a trove of illuminating archival materials, Liu tells the story of how an unassuming Scottish philosopher captured the American imagination and played a leading role in shaping American economic and political ideas. She shows how Smith became known as the father of political economy in the nineteenth century and was firmly associated with free trade, and how, in the aftermath of the Great Depression, the Chicago School of Economics transformed him into the preeminent theorist of self-interest and the miracle of free markets. Liu explores how a new generation of political theorists and public intellectuals has sought to recover Smith's original intentions and restore his reputation as a moral philosopher.Charting the enduring fascination that this humble philosopher from Scotland has held for American readers over more than two centuries, Adam Smith's America shows how Smith continues to be a vehicle for articulating perennial moral and political anxieties about modern capitalism

'Being more like America again and less like Europe is the heart of the UK model of capitalism … [but] there are many respects in which Britain remains unlike America despite its strong appeal to the British political class .' In 'After Brexit' Andrew Gamble sets out the economic models and external relationships that Britain has pursued since the Second World War and examines the choices it now faces as it adjusts to life outside of the European Union. This volume brings together this essay with some of Andrew Gamble's most important and influential writings on British politics and political economy from the last forty years. They reflect on many of the issues that animate British politics, from the relative decline of the economy and the reshaping of the welfare state to the transformation of the Conservative and Labour parties and the changing constitutional order with the devolution of power to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The volume is introduced by the author and includes his notes on each of the essays as well as an epilogue, which considers their original context and what has changed since. Taken together, the essays in this volume are testament to the acuity of one of Britain's foremost political thinkers and provide rich insight into debates and ideas that continue to influence British politics and Britain's place in the world. A companion volume of Andrew Gamble's essays, The Western Ideology and Other Essays, focusing on political ideas and ideologies, is also available from Bristol University Press

This edited book examines the experience of small states in Europe during the 20152016 migration crisis. The contributions highlight the challenges small states and the European Union faced in addressing the massive irregular flow of migrants and refugees into Europe and the Schengen Area. Small states adopted a number of coping strategies and proved relatively effective in navigating the storm they faced. Externally they pursued strategies of shelter-seeking, hiding, hedging and norm entrepreneurship, while domestically they tended to securitize migration and to pursue scapegoating by blaming the EU and other states for the nature and magnitude of the crisis. During this crisis management, their small administrations proved resilient and flexible in their responses, despite suffering from limited resources and being subject to the shifting preferences of stronger actors. This book shows that independent of whether we view the migration crisis as a crisis for the European Union or Europe as a whole, or how we interpret the intensity and severity of the crisis, this was a crisis for small states in Europe. The crisis disrupted the liberal and institutionalized order upon which small states in the region had increasingly based their policies and influence for more than 60 years.

This seven-chapter book examines the background to and consequences of the disputed occupation of Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands group of the South China Sea (SCS) by the People's Republic of China (PRC), from the mid-1990s to the present day. Although Mischief Reef has received significant media attention and has been discussed in academic journal articles and policy research reports, no books on the topic have appeared since a 30-page publication in 1996. By covering the topic in historical, domestic political, legal, economic, strategic, and geo-political terms, this book not only fills a gap on a particularly important issue with global consequences, but also acts as a follow-on to a previous Palgrave book by this author on another maritime dispute, Socotra Rock. This book will be of interest to journalists, scholars and legal theorists researching the implications of China's rise for maritime disputes in East Asia. Senan Fox is a Lecturer in the School of International Studies, Kanazawa University in Japan, and specializes in East Asia maritime disputes and related issues. With a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland, he has been awarded funding from the University of Tokyo for research on these regional disputes, and more recently from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) for research on China's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea and also the Konosuke Matsushita (Panasonic) Memorial Foundation for research into Sino-Japanese relations and rare-earth elements.
