Police detention is the place where suspects are taken whilst their case is investigated and a case disposal decision is reached. It is also a largely hidden, but vital, part of police work and an under-explored aspect of police studies. This book provides a much-needed comparative perspective on police detention. It examines variations in the relationship between police powers and citizens' rights inside police detention in cities in four jurisdictions (in Australia, England, Ireland and the US), exploring in particular the relative influence of discretion, the law and other rule structures on police practices, as well as seeking to explain why these variations arise and what they reveal about state-citizen relations in neoliberal democracies. This book draws on data collected in a multi-method study infive cities in Australia, England, Ireland and the US. This entailed 480 hours of observation, as well as 71 semi-structured interviews with police officers and detainees. Aside from filling in the gaps in the existing research, this book makes a significant contribution to debates about the links between police practices and neoliberalism. In particular, it examines the police, not just the prison, as a site of neoliberal governance. By combining the empirical with the theoretical, the main themes of the book are likely to be of utmost importance to contemporary discussions about police work in increasingly unequal societies. As a result, it will also have a wide appeal to scholars and students, particularly in criminology andcriminal justice.

"This book investigates how global business cycles impact the economies of developing countries. Global business cycles, the wave-like movements of economic expansion followed by contraction in aggregate economic activities, impact all economies comprising the global economy. The patterns being shown in developing countries correspond increasingly to those in the global north, and yet there is a relative dearth of studies exploring whether global business cycles exist and how they operate in developing economies. This book explores how cycles operate at the global and sub-global developing country levels, with a particular focus on the level of development and the structure of the economies. Drawing an important distinction between cycles and fluctuations, the book criticises mainstream conceptualisation and identification of cycle phenomena, and instead proposes an alternative conception and methodology for the identification of cycles. Along the way, the book also delves into the manufacturing and rise of China and other potential competitors in the industrial arena, as increasingly important drivers of global cycles, and of global economic growth. This book will be an important read for researchers and upper-level students of development economics and international political economy"--

Wie passen Kunst und Beruf zusammen? Und was bedeutet notwendige Lohnarbeit für das Leben der Kreativen? Auf Grundlage qualitativer Interviews mit bildenden Künstler_innen und Designer_innen geben Christoph Henning, Franz Schultheis und Dieter Thomä einen neuen Einblick in die Welt der Künste, in ihre Werdegänge, Lebensideale, Arbeitsplätze, Berufsbilder, Geschäftsmodelle sowie professionelle und private Umfelder. Das Buch schlägt eine Brücke vom Alltag in Atelier und Werkstatt zu den großen Themen der modernen Gesellschaft - Kreativität und Prekarität, Kommerzialisierung und Ästhetisierung, Entfremdung und Emanzipation - und eröffnet somit eine interdisziplinäre Debatte zwischen qualitativer Forschung, kritischer Sozialtheorie und Sozialphilosophie

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of classical antiquity have been used to construct European identities, and especially the concept of citizenship, in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day. It implements a critical historiographical perspective in line with recent work on the "reception" of classical antiquity that has stressed the dialectic relationship between past, present and future. Arguing that the continuous employment and appropriation of lassical heritages in the Danish context constitutes an interesting case of an imagined geography that is simultaneously based on both national and European identities, the book shows how Denmark's imagined geography is naturalized through very distinctive uses of classical heritages within the educational and heritage sectors. It does so by exploring three significant and interrelated arenas where the heritages of classical antiquity are used to shape Danes as European citizens. Together, these three cases emphasize different but interconnected ways in which classical heritages are being put to use in order to construct Denmark's own distinctive national identity within Europe. Finally, the book also sheds light on some of the challenges that face unified and homogenous conceptions of European heritage and identity, as well as the notion of the "classical" itself. Classical Heritage and European Identities is the first English-language monograph to situate the Danish case within the wider European context. As such, the book should be essential reading for researchers and students engaged in the study of heritage and museums, classics, education and modern European history.

Groundbreaking Handbook Offers Detailed Research and Valuable Methodology to Address Dangerous and Costly Aviation Hazard Though annual damages from bird and bat collisions with aircraft have been estimated at $400 million in the United States and up to $1.2 billion in commercial aviation worldwide and despite numerous conferences and councils dedicated to the issue, very little has been published on this expensive and sometimes-lethal flying risk. Bird Strike in Aviation seeks to fill this gap, providing a comprehensive guide to preventing and minimizing damage caused by bird strike on aircraft. Based on a thorough and comprehensive examination of the subject, Dr. El-Sayed offers different approaches to reducing bird strikes, including detailed coverage of the three categories necessary for such reduction, namely, awareness/education, bird management (active and passive control), and aircraft design. In addition, the text discusses the importance of cooperation between airplanes, airports and air traffic authorities as well as testing methods necessary for certification of both aircraft frame and engine. Other notable features include: -Statistics and analyses for bird strikes with both civil and military helicopters as well as military fixed wing aircrafts, including annual costs, critical flight altitudes, critical parts of aircraft, distance from air base and specifics of date and timing -Thorough review and analysis all fatal bird strike accidents and most non-fatal accidents since 1905, the first book to provide such a reference -The use of numerical methods in analyzing historic data (ex. probability functions, finite element methods for analyzing impact on aircraft structure, experimental measurement technique for displacement, vibration, component distortion, etc.) -Instruction on identification of bird species (using visual, microscopic, and DNA evidence) and details of bird migration to aid air traffic control in avoiding scenarios likely to result in collision With its wealth of statistical data, innovative research, and practical suggestions, Bird Strike in Aviation will prove a vital resource for researchers, engineers and graduate students in aerospace engineering/manufacturing or ornithology, as well as for military and civilian pilots and flight crew or professionals in aviation authorities and air traffic control

"Le recrutement des nouvelles élites de l'État semble évoluer de manière accélérée. Les hauts fonctionnaires sont de plus en plus souvent passés par HEC ou l'ESSEC, avant ou après l'ENA. Certains d'entre eux quittent provisoirement le service de l'État pour rejoindre des grandes entreprises, des banques ou des cabinets de conseil, comme l'illustrent le parcours d'Emmanuel Macron lui-même et celui de plusieurs des membres de son cabinet. Les députés de la nouvelle Assemblée sont, eux aussi, en grande partie issus du monde de l'économie (plutôt qu'enseignants, journalistes ou avocats comme par le passé). Dès lors pèse le soupçon d'une collusion croissante entre ces diverses élites. Une "oligarchie" a-t-elle pris en main la direction de l'État, comme le soutiennent les divers populismes? Données quantitatives à l'appui, Pierre Birnbaum, sociologue et historien de l'État, propose une enquête d'une grande précision, qui révèle une réelle transformation des élites du pouvoir dans les années 2000. Mais, loin des caricatures, il montre que l'État à la française acquis aux méthodes de gestion du privé n'en résiste pas moins, et que la majorité de ses serviteurs, grands ou petits, lui reste fidèle."--Page 4 of cover
