The dawn of the Tudor regime is one of most recognisable periods of English history. Yet the focus on its monarchs' private lives and ministers' constitutional reforms creates the impression that this age's major developments were isolated to halls of power, far removed from the wider populace. This book presents a more holistic vision of politics and society in late medieval and early modern England. Delving into the rich but little-studied archive of the royal Court of Requests, it reconstructs collaborations between sovereigns and subjects on the formulation of an important governmental ideal: justice. Examining the institutional and social dimensions of this point of contact, this study places ordinary people, their knowledge and demands at the heart of a judicial revolution unfolding within the governments of Henry VII and Henry VIII. Yet it also demonstrates that directing extraordinary royal justice into ordinary procedures created as many problems as it solved

"Citizenship has been an ill-explored subject within Conservative Party studies. When this subject has been analysed, it is usually made by scholars of citizenship, more concerned with general overviews than understanding specific Conservative approaches to the concept. This book intends to fill this gap. Through a rigorous analysis of sources, the author explores how the Conservative Party contested the welfare model of citizenship and sought to recreate a new relationship between the individual, the state and civil society. Starting from Thatcher's idea of 'active citizenship' and going through the analysis of John Major's 'Citizen's Charter' and David Cameron's 'Big Society' project, the book sheds new light on how these developments responded to long-term problems while dialoguing with specific circumstances and the different Conservative leaders' ideas. From an ideological perspective, the author analyses how these leaders echoed and re-signified more traditional political ideas and ideologies while negotiating with and borrowing new flourishing concepts during those years. Far from being a unidimensional citizenship concept, in reinterpreting old ideas and utilizing new ones, these Conservatives elaborated a complex and many times contradictory citizenship model that tried to address both long-lasting and more timely issues that overlapped in British society"--

"Peter Meisen, Past President, Global Energy Network Institute in 1997 stated "What if there was an existing, viable technology, that when developed to its highest potential could increase everyone's standard of living, cut fossil fuel demand and the resultant pollution". After 23 three years of sustained effort by the global scientific community, this is becoming true. Technology to extract heat from granites is being revolutionized during last few years. The classical method of creating fracture network by hydrofraturing is being replaced by closed loop method where fluids are not in contact with the hot granite. Supercritical CO2 is replacing water as a circulating fluid. Certainly, the future energy road is going to be led by high radiogenic granites. While hydrothermal source is site specific and has its limitations, EGS can be initiated anywhere on earth. EGS is removing all such obstacles and in future will provide uninterrupted electricity for all. Energy deficient countries can have surplus electricity, water stressed countries can have perennial freshwater supply and countries can become food secured and rise above poverty level. Countries need not depend on energy imports and independently evolve into carbon neutral or low carbon societies. The contributions made by experts will help the researchers and investors to close the energy demand and supply gap in the very near future by tapping the unlimited energy from the Earth. Opportunities available for investors in Turkey is well documented with field, geophysical and geochemical data and information on energy generating capacity of the granite intrusives spread over a cumulative area of 6910 sq.km in western Anatolia. With the signing of GGA (Global Geothermal Alliance) by several countries during the December 2015 CoP 21 (Conference of Parties) summit in Paris, countries are obliged to reduce CO2 emissions by increasing the footprint of renewable energy in the primary source mix. Information provided in this book will lead the road to establish clean energy future for the millions for sustainable development and help to mitigate crisis arising due to food, water, and energy shortage issues. Academic and research institutes will benefit to a large extent from the expertise of top contributors in this book. This information provided in this book will help to lay foundation to super-hot EGS research in future"--

Featuring contributions from the US, Europe and the UK, this edited collection addresses issues relating to research ethics and integrity when undertaking social research with older people and service users. Setting out practical insights and guidance, as well as addressing theoretical and philosophical aspects, this volume includes contributions from 'researchers', 'the researched' and 'those in between' on topics including dementia, family carers, safeguarding and mental health with the common goal of producing high quality 'user' relevant research. Equipping readers with an understanding of how to move forward not only as researchers but also as consumers of research and citizens, Ethics and Integrity in Research with Older People and Service Users is a timely and insightful contribution to the Advances in Research Ethics and Integrity series.

How Korean adoptees went from being adoptable orphans to deportable immigrantsSince the early 1950s, over 125,000 Korean children have been adopted in the United States, primarily by white families. Korean adoptees figure in twenty-five percent of US transnational adoptions and are the largest group of transracial adoptees currently in adulthood. Despite being legally adopted, Korean adoptees' position as family members did not automatically ensure legal, cultural, or social citizenship. Korean adoptees routinely experience refusals of belonging, whether by state agents, laws, and regulations, in everyday interactions, or even through media portrayals that render them invisible. In Out of Place, SunAh M Laybourn, herself a Korean American adoptee, examines this long-term journey, with a particular focus on the race-making process and the contradictions inherent to the model minority myth.Drawing on in-depth interviews with Korean adoptee adults, online surveys, and participant observation at Korean adoptee events across the US and in Korea, Out of Place illustrates how Korean adoptees come to understand their racial positions, reconcile competing expectations of citizenship and racial and ethnic group membership, and actively work to redefine belonging both individually and collectively. In considering when and how Korean adoptees have been remade, rejected, and celebrated as exceptional citizens, Out of Place brings to the fore the features of the race-making process

In When Left Moves Right, Maria Snegovaya argues that the transition-era pro-market convergence of mainstream parties, particularly the neoliberal policies adopted by former communist left parties, left reform losers (electorates in precarious economic situations, such as working-class electorates) without political representation. Subsequently, these social groups were incorporated by emerging populist political actors.

A country's culture influences its economic growth, which in turn influences its international position. Confucian heritage appears to be the common factor explaining the rapid economic growth of East Asian countries, including China's meteoric rise in recent years. Ironically, Confucianism has been criticized not too long ago for hindering progress in these countries. At the same time, Protestant countries, once the vanguards of economic development, have seen weak growth., These developed economies are undergoing a cultural transformation from an emphasis on materialist concerns to postmaterialist ones. What do these trends augur for their economic growth and international competitiveness, particularly in the context of ongoing power shifts between China and the United States?
