This book examines the internet as a form of power in global
politics. Focusing on the United States' internet foreign policy,
McCarthy combines analyses of global material culture and
international relation theory, to reconsider how technology is
understood as a form of social power.
This book investigates the practices of 'soft' policing through the
perspective of different control agencies including the police,
social work teams and the youth justice service, and their
collaborative response towards young people involved in low-level
anti-social behaviour.
Examining early intervention initiatives, McCarthy analyses the
decision-making practices, group-level deliberation, practical
struggles and experiences of multi-agency working, highlighting the
key role of the police in these partnerships. This book shows that
whilst attempts to intervene early may be largely conditioned by a
benevolent spirit akin to social work, complexities in
collaborative responses can arise when initiatives do not always
reflect the intended aims, and can at times lead to deeper and more
intensive control under the guise of support.
"'Soft' Policing" will appeal to a range of scholars in criminology
and policing, as well as practitioners including youth justice
professionals, police officers, social workers and those involved
in the provision of
services for children and young people.
Emerging in 2009, the Tea Party movement had an immediate and
profound impact on American politics and society. This book draws
on a decade's worth of original, extensive data collection to
understand why the Tea Party emerged, where it was active, and why
it disappeared so quickly. Patrick Rafail and John McCarthy link
the Tea Party's rise to prominence following the economic collapse
that came to be known as the Great Recession. Paying special
attention to the importance of space and time in shaping the Tea
Party's activities, Rafail and McCarthy identify and explain the
movement's disappearance from the political stage. Even though
grassroots Tea Party activism largely ceased by 2014, they
demonstrate the movement's effect on the Republican Party and
American democracy that continues today.

Engaging with fiction and history-and reading both genres as texts
permeated with early modern anxieties, desires, and
apprehensions-this collection scrutinizes the historical
intersection of early modern European superstitions and English
stage literature. Contributors analyze the cultural mechanisms that
shape, preserve, and transmit beliefs. They investigate where
superstitions come from and how they are sustained and communicated
within early modern European society. It has been proposed by
scholars that once enacted on stage and thus brought into contact
with the literary-dramatic perspective, belief systems that had
been preserved and reinforced by historical-literary texts
underwent a drastic change. By highlighting the connection between
historical-literary and literary-dramatic culture, this volume
tests and explores the theory that performance of superstitions
opened the way to disbelief.

In this book, two titans of social movement scholarship bring
together the best current research on the nexus between the local
and the global in translating the global justice movement into
action at the grassroots, and vice versa. Using recent cases of
transnational contention_from the European Social Forum in Florence
to the Argentinean human rights movement and British
environmentalists, from movement networks in Bristol and Glasgow to
the Zapatistas_the original chapters by distinguished scholars
presented in this volume adapt current social movement theory to
what appears to be a new cycle of protest developing around the
globe.
Is there more social protest now than there was prior to the
movement politics of the 1960s, and if so, does it result in a
distinctly less civil society throughout the world? If everybody
protests, what does protest mean in advanced industrial societies?
This volume brings together scholars from Europe and the U.S., and
from both political science and sociology, to consider the ways in
which the social movement has changed as a political form and the
ways in which it continues to change the societies in which it is
prevalent.
Social movements such as environmentalism, feminism, nationalism, and the anti-immigration movement figure prominently in the modern world. Comparative Perspectives on Social Movements examines social movements in a comparative perspective, focusing on the role of ideology and beliefs, mechanisms of mobilization, and how politics shapes the development and outcomes of movements. It includes case studies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, and West Germany.

This Brief introduces a novel research approach to investigate
freedom of the press in Hong Kong. The authors pair computational
analyses from the field of natural language processing with
qualitative content analysis of patterns of journalistic practice
in volatile political settings. Together, these shed light on the
evolution of press freedom in Hong Kong since its return to Chinese
sovereignty. Providing an interdisciplinary perspective, the Brief
will appeal to a wide range of readers with interests in
computational social science, public policy, political sciences as
well as policy-makers, think tanks, and practitioners who focus on
the China-Hong Kong nexus.
In the twenty-first century, we take the means to measure time for
granted, without contemplating the sophisticated concepts on which
our time scales are based. This volume presents the evolution of
concepts of time and methods of time keeping up to the present day.
It outlines the progression of time based on sundials, water
clocks, and the Earth's rotation, to time measurement using
pendulum clocks, quartz crystal clocks, and atomic frequency
standards. Time scales created as a result of these improvements in
technology and the development of general and special relativity
are explained. This second edition has been updated throughout to
describe twentieth- and twenty-first-century advances and discusses
the redefinition of SI units and the future of UTC. A new chapter
on time and cosmology has been added. This broad-ranging reference
benefits a diverse readership, including historians, scientists,
engineers, educators, and it is accessible to general readers.

Kathleen McCarthy here presents the first book-length treatment of
the vital role middle- and upper-class women played in the
development of American museums in the century after 1830. By
promoting undervalued areas of artistic endeavor, from folk art to
the avant-garde, such prominent individuals as Isabella Stewart
Gardner, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller
were able to launch national feminist reform movements, forge
extensive nonprofit marketing systems, and "feminize" new
occupations.
In this bracing history, Kathleen D. McCarthy explores the impact
of philanthropy-both giving and volunteerism-on America from 1700
to 1865. What results is a vital reevaluation of public life during
the pivotal decades leading up to the Civil War. By exploring the
relationships between the market, the state, and the voluntary
sphere, McCarthy demonstrates how these elements interacted to
change our government-and the course of history. Donors,
volunteers, and 'nonprofit entrepreneurs' all left a distinctive
imprint on American charities, educational patronage, struggles
against slavery and racism, female campaigns for equality, and
wartime imperatives. In the process, McCarthy uncovers the pivotal
role of philanthropy in the story of America's continuous pursuit
to fulfill our founding ideals.
"A tour de force. . . . [Modern donors] should all read American
Creed to be reminded of the traditional impulses and motives that
inspired earlier American philanthropists, large and small, to use
their money aggressively in the creation and defense of social
justice."--Mark Dowie, Los Angeles Times
"While her riveting history of civil society from the founding to
the Civil War focuses on philanthropy and religion, it is laced
with keen insights into the place of civil disorder, repression,
chivalry, and feminism in the American social order. This is
history at its best. A work that is truly pertinent to our
times."--Benjamin Barber
In the spring of 1985, A. Casson announced an interesting
invariant of homology 3-spheres via constructions on representation
spaces. This invariant generalizes the Rohlin invariant and gives
surprising corollaries in low-dimensional topology. In the fall of
that same year, Selman Akbulut and John McCarthy held a seminar on
this invariant. These notes grew out of that seminar. The authors
have tried to remain close to Casson's original outline and proceed
by giving needed details, including an exposition of Newstead's
results. They have often chosen classical concrete approaches over
general methods. For example, they did not attempt to give gauge
theory explanations for the results of Newstead; instead they
followed his original techniques.
Originally published in 1990.
