CSR is a fragile concept if conceived only at the organizational
level or driven only by leadership will. Many writers deal with
aspects of social responsibility, but most deal with it as this
kind of organizational and voluntary initiative. Few address the
wider policy agenda. The contributors to Territories of Social
Responsibility - researchers and practitioners from four continents
- all participated in an international workshop co-ordinated by
Patricia Almeida Ashley as part of her role as Chair in Development
and Equity at the International Institute of Social Studies. They
form a policy network contributing to studies on the concept of a
multi-actor, multilevel and territorial approach to social
responsibility and governance, oriented towards global, regional or
local development and equity goals. This book introduces a new
conceptual framework and promotes a research and policy agenda
relating to it. A new model sees CSR embedded in institutional and
legal frameworks, communicated and understood through a vector of
communication and knowledge influencing situated culture and social
values, and classified into three levels of ethical challenges. All
of this can be expressed into the social processes of education,
governance, the development of civil society, and policy making - a
renovation of the existing perspectives on the concept of social
responsibility. This ground breaking book integrates conceptual and
empirical contributions and opens a research and policy agenda for
the future. It will appeal to academics, higher level students,
policy makers, and to leaders of and advisors to organizations
affected by social responsibility issues.

This volume looks forward and re-examines present day education and
pedagogical practices in music and dance in the diverse cultural
environments found in Oceania. The book also identifies a key issue
of how teachers face the prospect of taking a reflexive view of
their own cultural legacy in music and dance education as they work
from and alongside different cultural worldviews. This key issue,
amongst other debates that arise, positions Intersecting Cultures
as an innovative text that fills a gap in the current market with
highly appropriate and fresh ideas from primary sources. The book
offers commentaries that underpin and inform current pedagogy and
bigger picture policy for the performing arts in education in
Oceania, and in parallel ways in other countries.

The fourth edition of this text constitutes a continuation of 20
years of coverage of traumatic brain injury, and broadens the
discussion of acquired brain injury. Within TBI, the paradigm shift
from an injury occurring at a point in time to a disease entity of
a chronic nature is changing the discussion of diagnosis,
management, treatment and outcome assessment. Disease specification
that differentiates TBIs by the mechanism of injury, the exact
nature of the injury, the extent of injury, presence of
co-morbidities and their exact nature, gender, age, race, and
genome are emerging as crucial. Disease differentiation has
impacted diagnosis, treatment and outcome.
Issue framing is the way that people, especially politicians, get
other people to view a particular problem or issue. By framing the
issue in a particular way, the goal is to get people to think about
the issue, to believe that an action is required and, most
importantly, to believe that a particular action (the one being
proposed by the framer) is the right one. The use of language and
imagery is an essential part of issue framing and has been an
integral part of the presidency since our nation's founding, but it
has become particularly important since Theodore Roosevelt began to
take his message directly to the people. This work examines a
selected speech delivered by every president from Roosevelt through
Barack Obama to show how language has been instrumental in
directing policy. Each chapter will examine the situation or
background for the problem, include a transcript of the speech the
president delivered, and conclude with an analysis of the speech in
terms of the particular frame that the speech utilized and the
eventual outcome, or policy direction, inspired by the speech.
