This EMEA edition of Robert Barro's popular text has been fully
updated to reflect the macroeconomics of a post-financial crisis
world. Starting with long-run macroeconomics, this text explores
some of the key theories and models in macroeconomics such as the
Keynesian model and the business-cycle model, finishing with
extending the equilibrium model to the open economy. This exciting
edition, which has been fully updated by Professor Angus Chu and
Professor Guido Cozzi, provides an accurate and unified
presentation of current macroeconomic thought whilst maintaining
Professor Barro's original vision for his textbook.
National service and volunteerism enjoy a rich history in the
United States and an emergent future in other parts of the world.
However, there remains relatively scant evidence of overall impact
of national service programs and volunteer effectiveness. This
condition continues to threaten national service and volunteer
programs with the risk of defunding and/or the risk of not
investing sufficiently from the start. This book brings together a
selection of diverse chapters written by a combination of
academicians, students, and practitioners from three countries and
across multiple states in the United States. Each chapter
approaches its topic uniquely but links with all others in
identifying the impacts of service and volunteerism for volunteers,
for beneficiaries of service, for the institution of volunteering,
and/or for whole communities. The book is divided in five sections:
(1) developing volunteer initiatives to achieve impact, (2) impact
for and by youth volunteers, (3) impact in social or policy areas,
specifically economy and financial success, education, and
emergency response, (4) international perspectives with focus on
Chile, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, and the post-communist states
of Lithuania and Romania, and (5) conclusion with summary and
suggestions for future research and practice.
