As our digital economy continues to expand, gig work becomes
increasingly significant. This incisive book investigates the ways
in which social dialogue can reinforce decent working practices and
create inclusive workplaces in the growing gig economy, putting
forward a framework for structured dialogue and collective
bargaining among social partners, platforms, and workers. Centred
on four major case studies - Germany, Greece, Switzerland, and the
UK - the book analyses the key challenges that characterise the
varied European landscape of gig economies and workforces. With a
particular focus on the hospitality, driving, and food delivery
sectors, chapters explore the intersection of social partners'
responses and gig workers' capacity to organise and build
collective voice. Examining the complicated and overlapping
linkages between workers' rights, social protection, social
dialogue, and decent work, the book aims to expose, and ultimately
put an end to, precariousness and exploitation in the context of
gig labour. Integrating critical theoretical perspectives and
methodologies with context-sensitive evidence, this book will be an
essential resource for students and scholars of sociology, social
policy, labour policy, employment relations, and human resource
management. Its examination of timely questions of collective
action and social dialogue in the gig economy will also appeal to
activists, journalists, social partners, and policymakers.
Following the 2008 economic crisis, the situation for young people
deteriorated dramatically in many European countries. Employment
and training opportunities have reduced, and levels of poverty and
social exclusion have increased. This book evaluates both
institutional frameworks and programmes as well as the quantitative
and qualitative basis of judgements in European youth policies that
dominate current strategies. Empowering Young People in
Disempowering Times uses EU survey data and in-depth qualitative
research to examine the education, employment experiences and
quality of life of young people in Europe. It develops an extensive
critique of the dominant policy approaches used in Europe, which
aim to tackle the challenges facing disadvantaged young people
through a focus on work first and a narrow human capital centered
approach of integration. In response, the book analyses and
discusses alternatives emerging from an application of Amartya
Sens's Capability Approach to youth policies and an enlarged
concept of participation. Offering quantitative and qualitative
analysis which aim to develop new and progressive ways to assess
the situation of socially disadvantaged young people in Europe,
this book will be fascinating reading for students and teachers of
social policy, as well as policy-makers, social practitioners and
social scientists. Contributors include: G. Acconcia, R. Atzmuller,

The UK model of incentive regulation of power grids was at one time
the most advanced, and elements of it were adopted throughout the
EU. This model worked well, particularly in the context of limited
investment and innovation, a single and strong regulatory
authority, and limited coordination between foreign grid operators.
This enlightening book demonstrates how the landscape has changed
markedly since 2010 and that regulation has had to work hard to
catch up and evolve. As the EU enters a wave of investment and an
era of new services and innovation, this has created growing
tensions between national regulatory authorities in terms of
coordinating technical standards and distribution systems. This is
being played out against an increasingly disruptive backdrop of
digitization, new market platforms and novel business models.
Electricity Network Regulation in the EU adopts a truly European
approach to the complex issues surrounding the topic, focusing on
the grey areas and critical questions that have traditionally been
difficult to answer. Incentive regulation and grids are addressed
simultaneously at the theoretical and practical level, providing
the reader with fundamental concepts and concrete examples. This
timely book is an invaluable read for energy practitioners working
in utility companies, regulators and other public bodies. It will
also appeal to academics involved in the world of electricity
regulation. The book utilizes language that would make it suitable
for interdisciplinary students, including engineering and law
scholars. Contributors include: P. Bhagwat, J.-M. Glachant, S.Y.

The issue of electricity reform has been on the agenda in Europe
for a decade and remains a high priority for policymakers looking
to the future. However, the performances of new electricity markets
are still not clear and arouse significant controversy. This book
focuses on the diversity of electricity reforms in Western Europe,
drawing evidence from ten European Union memberstates plus Norway
and Switzerland as associate members. The contributors analyse the
various ways of introducing competition in the European electricity
industries, and consider both the strategies of electricity
companies and their behaviour in electricity marketplaces. They
also offer an explanation of the differences of reforms by the
institutions and the industrial structures of each country which
shape the types of marketrules, industrial restructuring and public
service regulations which have been adopted. As a whole, this
volume will attract scholars, PhD and post-graduate students,
notably those interested in energy economics, comparative
institutional economics and applied industrial economics. European
and non-European energy companies or regulatory authorities looking
for an independent and analytical overview of European electricity
markets will also find this book of great interest.

A collection of essential quotations and other writings from artist
and icon Jean-Michel Basquiat One of the most important artists of
the late twentieth century, Jean-Michel Basquiat explored the
interplay of words and images throughout his career as a celebrated
painter with an instantly recognizable style. In his paintings,
notebooks, and interviews, he showed himself to be a powerful and
creative writer and speaker as well as image-maker. Basquiat-isms
is a collection of essential quotations from this godfather of
urban culture. In these brief, compelling, and memorable
selections, taken from his interviews as well as his visual and
written works, Basquiat writes and speaks about culture, his
artistic persona, the art world, artistic influence, race, urban
life, and many other subjects. Concise, direct, forceful, poetic,
and enigmatic, Basquiat's words, like his art, continue to
resonate. Select quotations from the book: "I cross out words so
you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you
want to read them." "I think there are a lot of people that are
neglected in art, I don't know if it's because of who made the
paintings or what, but, um . . . black people are never really
portrayed realistically or I mean not even portrayed in modern
art." "Since I was 17, I thought I might be a star." "The more I
paint the more I like everything." "I think I make art for myself,
but ultimately I think I make it for the world."
- This is the first book of its kind to review a series of
contemporary novels in English through the prism of the critical
and theoretical categories of grievability and ungrievability. In
the wake of Judith Butler's work on (un-)grievable groups, it
addresses the ways in which fiction in English since the 1990s
operates in its singularity to delve into the socio-cultural
construction of grievability, thereby refining and displacing the
more traditional categories of subalternity, inaudibility and
invisibility associated with the poetics of postmodernism. - It
also considers these categories in relation with the neighbouring
issues of visibility and invisibility, ultimately providing a
welcome prism though which to envisage such secular forms as the
obituary and the elegy. Such genres provide means to perform
mourning or, conversely, postulate an ethics of melancholia through
continuing attachment to the departed. - Central to the objectives
of this volume is the idea of providing an analysis of how Butler's
influential categories may be of specific use to literary scholars
all the more so as, in our post-trauma age, this traditional
function of literature has brought to the fore such aspects of
grievability as the influence of race, class, gender and/or sexual
orientation in the determination of the grievability or
ungrievability of the human beings exposed to individual or
collective violence. - More concretely, this book uses the prism of
(un-)grievability to contribute to the study of the ethics and
politics of literature, taking on board the ethics and politics of
form. It shows how some fictions delve into the lives of those
considered ungrievable and are submitted to invisibility and/or
illicit dead, while, in perpetrator trauma fictions, it is the
perpetrators themselves whose refusal or impossibility to
acknowledge the harm done to others under warfare conditions,
foster a relation of spectrality that transforms the unfairly
killed into ghosts who cannot be laid down to rest. - The essays
collected in this volume relate the relevance of the
above-mentioned critical and theoretical categories to various
cultural areas of the English-speaking world, charting the
singularities and common concerns of an array of contemporary texts
and themes relating to various grounds of relegation and
invisibilisation.
Owner of Chateau Lynch-Bages, Grand Cru Classe of Pauillac,
Jean-Michel Cazes is an international figure in wine. He has
contributed to bringing the Bordeaux vineyard into the modern day
and bears witness to the upheavals in the wine world over the past
50 years. After a golden age crowned by the 1855 classification
which made Bordeaux crus the most famous wines in the world, the
Bordeaux vineyards took time to integrate the changes of the 20th
and 21st centuries. Jean-Michel Cazes witnessed the crisis of the
1970s which saw the aura of Bordeaux tarnish and the price of its
wines collapse. He was a major player in their revival and their
tireless ambassador. The family history and personal journey of
this enthusiastic entrepreneur, winegrower at heart, make his book
a real saga. His experience and his wise reflections are all keys
to deciphering the complex heritage and functioning of the grands
crus of Bordeaux. This book, translated by leading Bordeaux expert,
Jane Anson, is his story, not just of his own journey, but of the
evolution of wine-making over the 20th century and into the 21st,
where his son now runs one of the most progressive chateaux in the
world, in a new facility designed by Pei Partnership.

Jean-Michel Quinodoz introduces the essential life and work of
Sigmund Freud, from the beginning of his clinical experiences in
Vienna in the 1880s to his final years in London in the 1930s.
Freud's discoveries, including universally-influential concepts
like the Oedipus complex and the interpretation of dreams, continue
to be applied in many disciplines today. Elegantly and clearly
written, each chapter leaves the reader with a solid framework for
understanding key Freudian concepts, and an appetite for further
knowledge. Accessible for readers inside and outside the field of
psychoanalysis, there is nothing at all equivalent in English. The
book starts with Freud's life before the discovery of
psychoanalysis, spanning from 1856 to 1900, when The Interpretation
of Dreams was published. The subsequent chapters are devoted to the
presentation of the key notions of psychoanalysis. A chronological
perspective shows how Freud's work has been constantly enriched by
the successive contributions of Freud himself, as well as his
successors. Freud's contributions are also embedded in the daily,
clinical practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The last
chapter concerns Freud's life from 1900 to 1939, the year of his
death. This fascinating, concise and accessible introduction to the
life and work of Sigmund Freud, one of the most influential and
revolutionary figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, by
internationally-renowned author Jean-Michel Quinodoz, will appeal
to both professional readers and anyone with an interest in
psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and the history of ideas.. The book
presents the major contributions of Sigmund Freud in their nascent
state, as and when they appeared, and shows that they are as alive
today as ever.
