Social Democracy is on the back-foot, and increasingly centre-left
political parties are struggling to win office. Bringing together a
range of leading academics and experts on social democratic
politics and policy, Why the left loses offers an international,
comparative view of the changing political landscape, examining the
degree to which the centre-left project is exhausted and is able to
renew its message in a neo-liberal age. Using case studies from the
UK, Germany, Spain, France, Australia and New Zealand contributors
argue that despite different local and specific contexts, the
mainstream centre-left is beset by a range of common challenges.
Analysis focuses on institutional and structural factors, the role
of key individuals, especially party leaders, and the atrophy of
progressive ideas in explaining why the centre-left is currently in
retreat. Why the Left Loses is aimed at stimulating wider debate
about the fortunes of the centre-left.
This polished study of the uses of reason in poetry is a
philosophical meditation. Its basic thesis is that poetry is the
objective correlative of reason, and in this sense it attacks both
romantic subjectivism and the more general tendency to consider
poetic effects in terms of reason-emotion dichotomy.

This book analyses social democratic parties' attempts to tackle
inequality in increasingly challenging times. It provides a
distinctive contribution to the literature on the so-called
'crisis' of social democracy by exploring the role of equality
policy in this crisis. While the main focus is on analysing
Australian Labor governments, examples are also given from a wide
range of parties internationally. The book traces how a traditional
focus on class has expanded to include other forms of inequality,
including issues of gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality and
explores both the intersections and potential tensions that result.
Meanwhile there are new challenges for equality policy arising from
a changing geo-economics (the rise of Asia), the legacies of
neoliberalism and the impact of technological disruption.

A Framework for Teaching Music Online defines the current online
learning landscape of music in higher education and then presents a
cyclical teaching framework that describes how to practically
develop an online music course. Each part of the framework takes
the reader through the three main components of developing an
online music course: communication, design, and assessment.
Research-informed and practical, ideas and tools for faculty and
students to implement into their current or future online teaching
practice are explored. Johnson also considers future innovations,
exploring knowledge sharing and professional learning networks.

With the shift towards online education, teaching and learning
music has evolved to incorporate online environments. However, many
music instructors, faculty, and institutions are being challenged
on how to evolve their curriculum to meet these demands and
successfully foster students. Pedagogy Development for Teaching
Online Music is a critical scholarly resource that examines the
nature of teaching and learning music in the online environment at
the post-secondary level. Featuring a broad range of topics such as
online and face-to-face instruction, instructional design, and
learning management system, this book is geared towards educators,
professionals, school administrators, academicians, researchers,
and students seeking current research on designing online music
courses using a social constructivist framework.
