In 1998, the Rome Statute to the International Criminal Court (ICC)
emerged as a groundbreaking treaty both due to its codification of
international criminal law and its recognition of the crimes
committed against women in times of war and conflict. The ICC
criminalized acts of rape, sexual slavery, and enforced pregnancy,
amongst others, to provide the most advanced articulation ever of
gender based violence under international law. However, thus far no
scholarly book has analyzed whether or not the implementation of
the ICC has been successful. The Politics of Gender Justice at the
International Criminal Court fills this intellectual gap,
specifically examining the gender justice design features of the
Rome Statute (the foundation of the ICC), and assessing the
effectiveness of the statute's implementation in the first decade
of the court's operation. Louise Chappell argues that although the
ICC has provided mixed outcomes for gender justice, there have also
been a number of important breakthroughs, particularly in regards
to support for female judges. Meticulous and comprehensive, this
book refines the notion of gender justice principles and adds a
valuable, but as yet unrecognized, gender dimension to the
burgeoning historical institutionalist approach to international
relations. Chappell links feminist international relations
literature with feminist institutionalism literature for the first
time, thereby strengthening and adding to both fields. Ultimately,
Chappell's analysis is an essential step towards attaining a
greater degree of gender equality in the context of international
law. The definitive volume on gender and the ICC, The Politics of
Gender Justice at the International Criminal Court is a valuable
resource for students and scholars of international relations,
international law, and human rights.
Classroom as Organization (CAO) is a powerful teaching methodology,
particularly well-suited for teaching business topics, that can
enliven students' learning experience while giving them the
opportunity to practice and develop workplace-related skills. This
book provides a comprehensive background to the CAO teaching
methodology, including its origins, evolution, and various
applications. From this basis, the considerations of how to teach
and design a CAO are explored. The book distills lessons learned
from the literature and the authors' practice into a comprehensive
design that can be easily implemented by educators new to this
methodology. Detailed templates from the authors' own practice
enable educators to turn their classroom into an organization,
empower the students to run that organization, and watch the
learning experience come alive. If you are not familiar with CAO,
this book provides a comprehensive resource. If you are familiar
with CAO, but have been afraid to try it, this book provides the
support to take the next step in your practice of experiential
teaching and learning. This book was written for experiential
educators as well as business or organizational behavior and
management professors looking for a creative way to engage students
while creating a deep and meaningful learning experience.

Many aspects of Britain's involvement in World War Two only slowly
emerged from beneath the barrage of official secrets and popular
misconception. One of the most controversial issues, the internment
of 'enemy aliens' (and also British subjects) on the Isle of Man,
received its first thorough examination in this remarkable account
by Connery Chappell of life in the Manx camps between 1940 and
1945. At the outbreak of war there were approximately 75,000 people
of Germanic origin living in Britain, and Whitehall decided to set
up Enemy Alien Tribunals to screen these 'potential security
risks'. The entry of Italy into the war almost doubled the
workload. The first tribunal in February 1940 considered only 569
cases as high enough risks to warrant internment. The Isle of Man
was chosen as the one place sufficiently removed from areas of
military importance, but by the end of the year the number of enemy
aliens on the island had reached 14,000. With the use of diaries,
broadsheets, newspapers and personal testimonies, the author shows
how a traditional holiday isle was transformed into an internment
camp. of earning extra income. Eventually the internees took part
in local farm work, ran their own camp newspapers and even set up
internal businesses. With inmates of the calibre of Sir Nikolaus
Pevsner, Lord Weidenfeld, Sir Charles Forte, Professor Geoffrey
Elton and R.W. 'Tiny' Rowland, the life of the camp quickly took on
a busy and constructive air; but the picture was not always such a
happy one, as angry disputes flared between Fascist inmates and
their Jewish neighbours, and a dangerous riot forced the
intervention of the Home Office. Even now, there remains the
persistent question never settled satisfactorily. Were the
internments ever justified or even consistent?
