The industrialized economies of the world have experienced a
considerable diversity of economic experience since the shocks of
the 1970s. The authors of this major study assess the institutional
determinants of economic performance in a comparative analysis of
OECD economies. They focus in particular on the role played by
corporatist arrangements in such countries as Austria and the
Scandinavian states. Corporatism and Economic Performance argues
that economists often have a narrow view of the scope and function
of corporatism, focusing on the extent to which collective
bargaining is centralized, and ignoring the important role of
durable, consensual policy making arrangements. The record of the
corporatist economies is assessed and considerable evidence is
found to show that they have borne the burden of economic
adjustment over the last twenty years in a less inegalitarian way
than other OECD economies, with lower rates of unemployment and
greater economic stability. In an increasingly integrated world
economy, the future prospects for corporatism look uncertain,
although there is still a strong economic case for corporatist
institutions. This book sheds new light on corporatism as a complex
and multidimensional entity, examining the rationale, scope,
performance and future prospects of corporatist institutions.

Was the Anglophone Caribbean condemned by its colonial history to
permanent conditions of dependency and by Cold War geopolitical
realities to international interventionism? In Dependency and
Socialism in the Modern Caribbean Euclid Rose focuses upon the
efforts made by the English-speaking Caribbean-through case studies
that compare and contrast the political economies of Guyana,
Jamaica, and Grenada-to break out of the legacy of colonial
dependency and underdevelopment through the implementation of a
Caribbean brand of socialism. The work considers the Caribbean's
adoption of Fabian-style socialism as an alternative to capitalist
development and how these socialist policies were impacted by
differences in infrastructure capacity, economic and social
resources and political agendas. It highlights the pivotal role of
race and class, and the hitherto little studied impact of religion,
on the region's political economy. Moreover, the study calculates
the impact of the global economy upon Caribbean socio-economic
conditions, and the ideological, geopolitical, and strategic
implications of the Cold War and the Caribbean's socialist
alignment on the nature, character, and intensity of British and
American interventionism in the region. A must read for political
economists in search of a greater understanding of the postcolonial
political economy of the Caribbean and Latin America.
This book addresses essential principles of research according to
the scientific method for medical imaging technology research. The
scope of this book covers the nature of scientific research;
quantitative and qualitative approaches essentials; research
planning; literature review fundamentals; research methods; data
collection, analysis, and interpretation; and communicating
research findings. The book meets the educational requirements on
Research Principles and Concepts (for entry to practice) of the
following professional radiologic technology associations: the
American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the Canadian
Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), the College
of Radiographers in the United Kingdom, and radiography societies
and associations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa. This is an
ideal book for radiologic technologists, nuclear medicine
technologists, and radiation therapists seeking to get started in
research in their profession. Additionally, biomedical imaging
engineering technologists, radiologists, and medical imaging
physicists may use this as a "guiding principles" textbook.
Nuclear Medicine is a diagnostic modality which aims to image and
in some cases quantify physiological processes in the body to
highlight disease or injury. Within nuclear medicine, over the past
few decades, major technological changes have occurred and
concomitantly changes in the knowledge and skills required have had
to evolve. One of the most significant technological changes has
been the fusion of imaging technologies, to create hybrid systems
such as SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MR. With these changes in mind,
Practical SPECT/CT in Nuclear Medicine provides a handy and
informative guide to the purchase, clinical implementation and
routine use of a SPECT/CT scanner. Practical SPECT/CT in Nuclear
Medicine will be a valuable resource for all personnel working in
nuclear medicine and it will be of particular value to trainees.

Syriza's victory in the recent Greek general election shook the
foundations of the Western political establishment and gave hope to
the millions suffering the austerity measures imposed by the
European Troika. Millions asked, how did this happen and what is it
about Greece that created such a centre of radicalism? This
insider's account, from Syriza's Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos
and economist Christos Laskos, shows that that the narrative of
Greek exceptionalism is a myth. The blame game that has been played
by the EU powers is an ideological tool used to shift attention
from the disillusionment and anger at the European and global
capitalist economic order. By alienating an entire nation of
people, the Troika has revealed the internal contradictions of the
modern neoliberal establishment, as well as the inadequacies of the
earlier social-democratic Keynesian regime. Tsakalotos and Laskos
suggest that there is very little that differentiates Greece from
other countries struggling under austerity, and that parties such
as Syriza could usher in a new, democratic and socialist era across
the continent.
