Positioning industrial relations in a discussion that is sensitive
to broader political, historical, and ideological tensions, this
insightful book offers reflections on the politics of de-regulation
that have developed in southern European work and employment
relations over the past 20 years. Interwoven with case studies from
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, the book reviews critical
debates and issues related to de-regulation in employment relations
and neoliberalism in southern Europe. Taking stock of major changes
and crises affecting these national contexts over time, from
austerity politics to the COVID-19 pandemic, chapters investigate
how new voices, actors, and social movements are beginning to
emerge and engage with the politics of work. The book ultimately
posits that debates on production and work need to pay closer
attention to changes in patterns of consumption and the changing
nature of worker voice, and highlights how these changes are being
used to undermine collective and social rights. Surveying political
shifts in collective worker voice and representation over time, the
book will benefit students and scholars of industrial relations,
labour studies, the sociology of work, and employment politics. Its
evaluation of the impact of de-regulation strategies imposed across
southern Europe will prove invaluable to practitioners and
policymakers involved in public employment and industrial
relations.

Carlo Bastasin and Gianni Toniolo provide a much-needed, up-to-date
economic history of Italy from unification in 1861 to the present
day. They show how, thirty years after unification, Italy began a
long phase of convergence with more advanced economies so that by
the late twentieth century Italy's per capita income reached the
levels of Germany, France and the UK. From the mid-1990s, however,
the Italian economy declined first in relative and then absolute
terms. The authors describe the intertwined financial and
institutional crises that eroded trust in the political system and
in the economy at the exact juncture when new technologies and
markets transformed the global economy. Longstanding problems of
uneven levels of education and obsolete bureaucratic and judicial
practices deepened the division between economically vibrant
regions and the rest, causing polarization, political instability
and rising public debt. Italy's contemporary malaise makes the
country a test-case for understanding the implications of
protracted declines in productivity and the flattening of GDP
growth for the stability of western democracies, resulting in
populism, mistrust and political instability.

International Law provides a comprehensive theoretical examination
of the key areas of international law. In addition to classic cases
and materials, Carlo Focarelli addresses the latest relevant
international practice to illustrate contemporary themes and trends
in international law and to examine its most topical challenges.
The key features of this textbook include: A unitary - 'systemic'
and 'realist-constructivist' theoretical illustration of
international law, essential to an understanding of how
international law works in practice and can, or should be changed A
clear logical structure and thorough cross-referencing, for
accessible, systemic and consistent learning Up-to-date
bibliographies at the end of each chapter and academic commentary
on the very latest cases, covering all aspects of international
law. Insightful and topical, this textbook will be an invaluable
teaching resource for students of law, political science, and
international relations. 'Carlo Focarelli's textbook aims to
achieve theoretical cohesiveness about international law as a
system and yet at the same time emphasises the importance of state
practice, not just the practice of courts but also diplomatic
practice more widely. What is particularly welcome is the book's
aim to familiarise readers outside Italy with international legal
thinking and state practice from an important European country that
for centuries has been a significant contributor to the discourse
of international law. This unique approach reflects well the
contemporary trend for studying international law from comparative
perspectives and will make the book a valuable read for students
interested in international law.' - Lauri Malksoo, University of
Tartu, Estonia
For many of us, believing in Jesus feels like the first step on a
journey that can only get better and better with every step. Then
trials come and it can be hard to keep walking. When faced with
disappointment, disillusionment, doubt, and death, we may be
tempted to turn back. The road ahead seems too hard, too long, too
fraught with danger and difficulty. With great passion and deep
understanding of the struggles believers go through, Rashawn
Copeland encourages and inspires you to stay the course. In No
Turning Back he shares practical and productive ways you can
experience true and lasting growth based on the promises God makes
to those who follow him. He shows you how to apply the truths of
Scripture to be transformed by God's power, grow your identity in
Christ, renew your mind, free yourself from your past, and become
the person God has called you to be.

Teeming with life and compulsively readable, the pieces gathered
together in The Tribe aggregate into an extraordinary mosaic of
Cuba today. Carlos Manuel Ãlvarez, one of the most exciting young
writers in Latin America, employs the crónica form – a genre
unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative
non-fiction, and novelistic forms – to illuminate a particularly
turbulent period in Cuban history, from the re-establishment of
diplomatic relations with the US, to the death of Fidel Castro, to
the convulsions of the San Isidro Movement. Unique, edgy and
stylishly written, The Tribe shows a society in flux, featuring
sportsmen in exile, artists, nurses, underground musicians and
household names, dissident poets, the hidden underclass at a
landfill, migrants attempting to make their way across Central
America, fugitives escaping the FBI, dealers from the black market,
as well as revelers and policemen in the noisy Havana night. It is
a major work of reportage by one of Granta’s Best of Young
Spanish-Language novelists.

Procter-Rihl is a multidisciplinary studio that navigates between
the scales of architecture, furniture, product design, exhibition
and landscape. In a world dominated by over-specialisation, there
are few architects that inhabit these multiple areas consistently
through their career. The studio proposes a new approach in
architecture, Trans-Local, which brings together the familiar and
the extraordinary, the local and the global. Unlike typical
contextual approaches to place, this method creates tension between
the familiar and the new. Architecture and Beyond surveys the work
of the practice, revealing a design method based on linguistics
fusing spatial verbs to local archetypes. The projects shown do not
follow a chronological order but are clustered by four key design
operations: fold, perforate, float and weave. They are firestarters
to spatial investigations that are regularly revisited in different
scales, programmes or disciplines. The method embraces a
diagrammatic purity that is inevitably reflected in the projects.
Conditional design methods have been extensively explored by recent
parametric and digital architecture delivering complex and
extra-ordinary architecture as a non-contextual formal pursuit.
What is new in Procter-Rihl's design method is the fusion of an
operative system to a symbolic matrix creating an architecture that
responds to locality but also is challenging and provocative. This
book highlights 42 projects richly illustrated with more than 258
photos and 100 drawings.
For thousands of years Portugal has been the point of arrival and
departure for peoples, cultures, languages, ideas, fashions,
behaviours, beliefs, institutions and produce. While its
miscegenation and global multimodal activity enriched the world in
many ways, it also provoked violence, war, suffering and
resistance. The Global History of Portugal contains 93 chapters
grouped into five parts: Pre-history, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Early
Modern period and Modern World. Each chapter begins with an event,
interpreted in the light of global history. Each part opens with an
introduction, offering a perspective of the period in question. The
three Editors, five Scientific Coordinators (Joao Luis Cardoso,
Carlos Fabiao, Bernardo Vasconcelos e Sousa, Catia Antunes and
Antonio Costa Pinto) and ninety Contributors offer a critical and
analytical synthesis of the history that originated in Portuguese
territory or passed through it, stimulating the process of
encounter and dis-encounter in todays global world. The history
presented gives special attention to the world that moulded
Portugal and the Portuguese, and to the ways Portugal configured
the world. It seeks to identify and understand the transversal
entanglements of historic impact and the impulses these gave to the
construction of Portugal and the world. Contemporary reflection and
academic scholarship on the global history of leading nations has
stimulated a rethinking of the past and a more comprehensive
recognition of legacy. Historians can no longer overlook the wider
world with which their country of investigation has interacted.
Portugals role in the dynamic circulation of peoples and ideas
makes it global history not only unique by way of what took place
but also in terms of a potential academic template for better
understanding of how the past shapes the present, and more
particularly the importance of acknowledging a countrys past
historic mis-steps and how these are dealt with by contemporary
populations.
