This is a collection of documents on English history. Editorial
comment is directed towards making sources intelligible rather than
drawing conclusions from them. Full account has been taken of
modern textual criticism. A general introduction to each volume
portrays the character of the period under review and critical
bibliographies have been added to assist further investigation.
Documents collected include treaties, personal letters, statutes,
military dispatches, diaries, declarations, newspaper articles,
government and cabinet proceedings, orders, acts, sermons,
pamphlets, agricultural instructions, charters, grants, guild
regulations and voting records. Volumes include genealogical
tables, lists of officials, chronologies, diagrams, graphs and
maps.
Case studies explore how women's rights shape state responses to
sex trafficking and show how politically empowering women can help
prevent and combat human trafficking Human trafficking for the sex
trade is a form of modern-day slavery that ensnares thousands of
victims each year, disproportionately affecting women and girls.
While the international community has developed an impressive
edifice of human rights law, these laws are not equally recognized
or enforced by all countries. Sex Trafficking and Human Rights
demonstrates that state responsiveness to human trafficking is
shaped by the political, social, cultural, and economic rights
afforded to women in that state. While combatting human trafficking
is a multiscalar problem with a host of conflating variables, this
book shows that a common theme in the effectiveness of state
response is the degree to which women and girls are perceived as,
and actually are, full citizens. By analyzing human trafficking
cases in India, Thailand, Russia, Nigeria, and Brazil, they shed
light on the factors that make some women and girls more
susceptible to traffickers than others. This important book is both
a call to understanding and a call to action: if the international
community and state governments are to responsibly and effectively
combat human trafficking, they must center the equality of women in
national policy.

For any digital TV developer or manager, the maze of standards and
specifications related to MHP and OCAP is daunting-you have to
patch together pieces from several standards to gather all the
necessary knowledge you need to compete worldwide. The standards
themselves can be confusing, and contain many inconsistencies and
missing pieces. Interactive TV Standards provides a guide for
actually deploying these technologies for a broadcaster or product
and application developer. Understanding what the APIs do is
essential for your job, but understanding how the APIs work and how
they relate to each other at a deeper level helps you do it better,
faster and easier. Learn how to spot when something that looks like
a good solution to a problem really isn't. Understand how the many
standards that make up MHP fit together, and implement them
effectively and quickly. Two DVB insiders teach you which elements
of the standards that are needed for digital TV, highlight those
elements that are not needed, and explain the special requirements
that MHP places on implementations of these standards. Once you've
mastered the basics, you will learn how to develop products for US,
European, and Asian markets--saving time and money. By detailing
how a team can develop products for both the OCAP and MHP markets,
Interactive TV Standards teaches you how to to leverage your
experience with one of these standards into the skills and
knowledge needed to work with the critical, related standards. Does
the team developing a receiver have all the knowledge they need to
succeed, or have they missed important information in an apparently
unrelated standard? Does an application developer really know how
to write a reliable piece of software that runs on any MHP or OCAP
receiver? Does the broadcaster understand the business and
technical issues well enough to deploy MHP successfully, or will
their project fail? Increase your chances of success the first time
with Interactive TV Standards.
First Published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The first major study in over three decades to explore the
essential arguments of all the major theoretical interpretations of
nationalism, from the modernist approaches of Gellner, Nairn,
Breuilly, Giddens and Hobsbawm to the alternative paradigms of van
den Bergh and Geertz, Armstrong and Smith himself.
In a style accessible to the student and the general reader Smith
traces the changing view of this hotly discussed topic within the
current political, cultural and socioeconomic arena. He also
analyses the contributions of such historians, sociologists and
political scientists as Seton-Watson, Reynolds, Hastings, Horowitz
and Brass. The survey concludes with an analysis of post-modern
approaches to national identity, gender and nation, making it
indispensable reading to all those interested in gaining full and
authoritative knowledge of nationalism.
This series [pushes] the boundaries of knowledge and [develops] new
trends in approach and understanding. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The
concerns of people over differing levels of fifteenth-century
society are the focus of the essays contained in this volume. How
would a queen in exile wish to be depicted on a medal, or a
newly-crowned king deal with recalcitrant London merchants when
their interests clashed with his policies? The logistics of an
invasion of France present a challenge to the military advisers of
another king, and by bringing fresh insights to the text a
translator of Vegetius' De re militari addresses the fears of
rulers and ruled in a time of civil unrest. English supplicants to
the papal curia require expert advice to navigate bureaucratic
procedures at Rome; while Welsh students encounter other obstacles
as they embark on careers in Church and state. Manuscript and
printed versions of parliamentary statutes point to differing
preferences on the part of government clerks and practising lawyers
in their choice of language; while the papers of a professional
estate manager from Norfolk reveal antiquarian interests and an
affinity with William of Worcester. Contributors: Christopher
Allmand, Peter Clarke, Rhun Emlyn, Samantha Harper, Frederick
Hepburn, John Milner, Dean Rowland, Anthony Smith
Examines a variety of events and developments in 20th-century
British history - from the Boer war to the demise of the GLC. The
historical perspective provides an understanding of the interaction
between the media and evolving social and political processes.
Together the chapters provide an original picture of the ways in
which press, cinema, radio and television can be seen as having
wielded power in the course of this century.
This collection presents a comprehensive engagement of issues of
human rights in an increasingly globalized world. As the role of
the rule of law has moved beyond the confines of the state and
beyond the interactions of states, how and when law protects human
rights has become a central issue of concern. These essays shed
light on both the immediate and the long-term future of a variety
of issues located at the intersection of globalized law and the
protection of the rights of individuals. Here both top-down
mechanisms and bottom-up mechanisms for the fulfilment of human
rights are artfully explained. This volume presents frontiers of
research in human rights in both substance and approach using a
variety of methodologies to engage issues ranging from national
court compliance, norm diffusion, and the role of the judiciary in
fulfilling human rights to human trafficking, same-sex marriage,
and judicial institution building through non-governmental
organizations. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Human Rights.

First published in 1973, The Shadow in the Cave explores the
history of broadcasting conflicts and shows how they are built into
the very roots of broadcasting. Every nation has built into its
radio and television system a coded version of anxieties about the
nature and effects of mass communication. The whole of the culture
of broadcasting- its genres and its style - is an expression of the
dilemmas which have bedevilled broadcasting form the moment of its
invention. Anthony Smith's book provides for the first time a
connected and carefully researched picture of the real issues
involved in the debate about broadcasting. This book shows how the
argument about levels of taste in broadcasting, about balance and
fairness, about trivialisation, control and freedom of access are
elements of a gigantic problem which threatens the whole structure
of democratic freedom. The book shows some of the path to be taken
if broadcasting is not to undermine the basic notion of freedom of
expression. Topical, subtle and revealing, this is an important
historical document, a must read for scholars and researchers of
media studies, news media, media history, mass communication and
political studies.

This book seeks to explain the nature of discrimination and
exclusion and why these are so prevalent in our societies. The
continued failure to overcome these obstacles prevent organisations
from taking advantage of the significant benefits and returns that
come from being inclusive in the face of diversity. It explores the
key drivers of non-inclusive behavior and how they can be countered
before providing guidance on how organisations can successfully
pursue inclusive culture change. With a mix of applied academic
theory, practical examples and real-world experiences, the book
examines the topic of D&I from four perspectives: (I) Why
diversity and inclusion matters. (II) The forces of exclusion and
isolation. (III)The imperative conditions of change. (IV)The
organisation of the culture transformation process. In doing so,
the book meets the diverse needs of those involved in corporate
governance, board members, executives, and even consultants who
want to understand the intricacies of cultural diversity and
inclusion and why so many programmes fail. For academics in
organisational behavior, equity, diversity, and inclusion, trained
in the social sciences and anthropology, the book offers a guide to
the practical application of theory and the implementation of
policies that cannot rely on the assumption of stability and
consistency. This book is an invitation to anyone who wants to take
on the challenge of making a difference and organisational change a
reality. Dr. Doyin Atewologun, psychologist, scientist,
practitioner and leading expert in the field of promoting inclusion
and excellence in organizations, provided valuable consultancy to
the author during the creation of this book.
