Taking forward the notion of the scholar without borders, International Environments and Practices of Higher Education provides a critical review of the teaching practices in higher education in international contexts. Sticky problems and debates about inclusivity, diversity, and cultural representation in the curriculum and classroom are explored through the eyes of the academics who negotiate complex teaching landscapes either on a temporary or permanent basis. The aspiration for universal nuanced teaching practices which reflect individual and national identities, along with newly emerging global ones that represent virtual academic citizenship that cross geographical and political borders, are presented as a foundation on which to instil borderless higher education.

The title, ALL CITY WRITERS, describes a vast research on the Writing movement, focusing particularly on the process of its exportation from New York to all of Europe during the '80s. The first part of the research analyzes how graffiti in media such as movies, videos, magazines, and books from New York influenced Europe. When images of the New York subway arrived in London, Paris, Munich, and Amsterdam, a huge milestone was set: A first generation of European graffiti writers started to follow the letters, the method, the techniques, and the general lifestyle of New York in the '70s.

The book, a massive volume of more than 400 pages, has been conceived as an imaginary newspaper. The chronicles it contains have not been penned by real journalists or narrators but by people who define themselves as 'writers.' In this volume, a chorus of uncensored voices in the first person reveal their knowledge of European cities, their infrastructures, interstices, and neighborhoods. This is the generation who, in the last two decades of the 20th Century, imported the countercultural phenomenon from New York commonly known as 'Graffiti.'

At the outset, the obsessive repetition of a tag and the search for urban fame became a widespread and spontaneous act, an infinite ego trip that was rarely dissociated from the reproduction of the chosen letters. In these pages, European writers abandon the compulsive act of tagging for a moment, to narrate the city and cast a personal eye--not always detached--on the trains, the streets, and the urban surroundings that common citizens generally cannot or will not acknowledge. The chapters that compose this book focus on special themes, comparable to the sections of a daily newspaper, presented here as special reports on the New York subway, the European network, or the first urban strongholds.

The combination of these elements, including, among others, a detailed, in-depth description of the phenomenon's explosion in Italy during the '90s, provides a unique history of the variety of pathways they explored and documents the desires of an entire generation intent on describing and interpreting their cultural movement. Through historic and detailed documentation deriving from a singular urban episode, the New York City Subway, ALL CITY WRITERS wants to investigate the evolution and the consequences of a countercultural phenomenon, which in the last decades has provoked a change in the rules of aesthetics and communication in modern day society.

This book provides a critical review of the impact of international academics on teaching practices in higher education. As borders and boundaries become increasingly blurred and virtual citizenship starts to impact on ways of working, being able to teach seamlessly across cultures and political divides will be critical to ensuring a thriving higher education sector. This book captures the impact of academic mobility on teaching practices which have been informed by academics' original cultures being modified to align with those of a host culture. The book comprises three thematic sections which take the reader through the various stages of the internationalisation of higher education teaching practice. It starts with how teaching identities are constructed and influenced by culture and geopolitical factors and concludes with an exploration into the emergence of the global teaching practitioner who is able to work seamlessly across borders and boundaries. The core sections include: i) the geopolitics of teaching identities, ii) a sense of belonging and the lived experience of the academic nomad and iii) academic transition, from migration to integration. Providing practical tools for improving both students' learning experiences and academics' classroom practices this volume will be of use to researchers, students, and practitioners from the social sciences (specially business, management, and education) as well as foreign language tutors and TEFL practitioners. Human resource professionals, recruiters, and trainers responsible for recruiting, training, and developing international higher education staff will also find this book to be of interest.

Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: -, University of Rome "Tor Vergata," course: Processi e Modelli Decisionali per l'Impresa, language: Italian, abstract: Il presente lavoro si intende come un tentativo di dare risposta, attraverso un'attenta analisi della letteratura e lo studio di un caso aziendale, alle seguenti domande: qual e l'effetto dell'ingresso di terze parti in una negoziazione inizialmente configurata come bilaterale distributiva? Puo l'ingresso di terze parti portare la negoziazione multilaterale creatasi da distributiva ad integrativa? Come? La struttura del lavoro si compone di quattro capitoli. Nel primo, all'interno di una revisione della letteratura attuale in materia negoziale, si forniscono le basi teoriche per il concetto di negoziazione, si individuano i caratteri qualificanti le negoziazioni e gli elementi fondamentali della struttura negoziale: le parti, le materie e gli interessi. Il secondo capitolo, partendo dalla riflessione del Sebenius (1992) sulla possibilita di manipolare strategicamente gli elementi della struttura negoziale, approfondisce il tema delle negoziazioni multilaterali. Queste risultano essere interazioni sociali complesse a causa, da un lato, della configurazione delle preferenze di piu parti, dall'altro, delle dinamiche interpersonali che aumentano di complessita in linea con l'aumento delle parti in gioco. I negoziatori possono trarre beneficio da ampiezza, complessita ed eterogeneita. L'esistenza di una configurazione negoziale con piu parti, aventi spesso interessi diversi e per lo piu complementari, puo, proprio in virtu di cio, portare al raggiungimento di accordi molto soddisfacenti. Nel terzo capitolo si introduce il settore economico in cui si inserisce il caso aziendale: il settore automobilistico. Tale analisi settoriale viene svolta partendo dagli elementi di debolezza strutturale del settore. Si individuano le mosse strategic
