This book explores the dynamics of curriculum policy processes
involved in the adoption, production and enactment of the
International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP),
accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
It addresses deficits in current literature and provides insight
into and the complexities involved within a framework that takes
cognisance of the relationships between global, regional, national
and local levels of education policy processes. In doing so, it
contributes to the current body of research on international
education, remote education and policy processes. The IBPYP is one
of the three programmes that go to make up the increasingly popular
suite of programmes offered by the IBO. Given the exponential
growth of international schools caused by an ever changing
globalized world and a mobile workforce, international curriculum
policy is becoming more complex. This has lead to a recognition of
the need for a range of policy analysis studies in the field. The
study presented in this book was conceptualised in the light of
such recognition. This relatively uncharted field has been explored
by focusing on one of the most 'unusual' settings. Accordingly, the
adoption, production and enactment of the IBPYO at three remote
international schools has been examined. The study also addresses
how the phenomena of 'international schools' and 'remote schools'
complement or compete with, each other. This results in a better
understanding of the educational policies informing both
'international schools' and 'remote schools' and the
interconnectivity that might exist between them.
This is the ideal resource for keeping abreast new developments in
the fast moving field. Written by expert authors and featuring
topics such as hereditary cancer in gynaecology and caesarean scar
ectopic pregnancy, each chapter highlights the latest developments
of relevance to clinical practice. This book is an invaluable
update and revision tool for trainees preparing for postgraduate
examinations. Practical and clinically-relevant content enhanced by
Key Points for Clinical Practice at the end of chapters. Chapters
focus on important recent developments in the field of obstetrics
and gynaecology. Effective revision tool for candidates sitting for
postgraduate obstetrics and gynaecology examination.
Focusing on Odin Teatret's latest work, this discussion is updated
by drawing on fresh research. The group's productions since 2000
are included and the book offers a reassessment of Odin's actor
training. Its community work and legacy are discussed and Barba's
intercultural practice is viewed alongside two major Theatrum Mundi
productions.
The history of archaeology is generally told as the making of a
secular discipline. In nineteenth-century Britain, however,
archaeology was enmeshed with questions of biblical authority and
so with religious as well as narrowly scholarly concerns. In
unearthing the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean, travellers,
archaeologists and their popularisers transformed thinking on the
truth of Christianity and its place in modern cities. This happened
at a time when anxieties over the unprecedented rate of
urbanisation in Britain coincided with critical challenges to
biblical truth. In this context, cities from Jerusalem to Rome
became contested models for the adaptation of Christianity to
modern urban life. Using sites from across the biblical world, this
book evokes the appeal of the ancient city to diverse groups of
British Protestants in their arguments with one another and with
their secular and Catholic rivals about the vitality of their faith
in urban Britain.
This book critically assesses the artistry of contemporary
directors. Its discussion includes the work of Declan Donnellan,
Thomas Ostermeier, Deborah Warner, Simon Stone and Krzysztof
Warlikowski. Alongside the work of wider theorists (Patrice Pavis
and Erika Fischer-Lichte), it uses neuroaesthetic theory (Semir
Zeki) and cognitive and creative process models to offer an
original means to discuss the performance event, emotion, brain
structures and concepts, and the actor's body in performance. It
offers first-hand observation of rehearsals led by Katie Mitchell,
Ivo van Hove, Carrie Cracknell and the Steppenwolf Theatre. It also
explores devising in relation to the work of Simon McBurney and
contemporary groups, and scenography in relation to the work of
Dmitry Krymov, Robert Wilson and Robert Lepage. The Director and
Directing argues that the director creates a type of knowledge,
'reward' and 'resonant experience' (G. Gabrielle Starr) through
instinctive and expert choices.
This book investigates the policies of the Thatcher, Major and
Blair governments and their approaches towards concentration of
economic and political power. The 1979-2007 British governments
have variously been described as liberal or, to use a political
insult and a favourite academic label, neoliberal. One of the
stated objectives of the Thatcher, Major and Blair
governments-albeit with differing focal points-was to disperse
power and to empower the individual. This was also a consistent
theme of the first generation of neoliberals, who saw monopolies,
vested interests and concentration more generally as the 'great
enemy of democracy'. Under Thatcher and Major, Conservatives sought
to liberalize the economy and spread ownership through policies
like Right to Buy and privatisation. New Labour dispersed political
power with its devolution agenda, granted operational independence
to the Bank of England and put in place a seemingly robust
antitrust framework. All governments during the 1979-2007 period
pursued choice in public services. Yet our modern discourse
characterises Britain as beset by endemic power concentration, in
markets and politics. What went wrong? How did so-called neoliberal
governments, which invoked liberty and empowerment, fail to
disperse power and allow concentration to continue, recur or arise?
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of
contemporary British history, political economy and politics, as
well as specific areas of study such as Thatcherism and New Labour.

The premiership of Margaret Thatcher has been portrayed as uniquely
ideological in its pursuit of a more market-based economy. A body
of literature has been built on how a sharp turn to the right by
the Conservative Party during the 1980s - inspired by the likes of
Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek - acted as one of the key
stepping stones to the turbo-charged capitalism and globalization
of our modern world. But how 'neoliberal' was Thatcherism? The link
between ideas and the Thatcher government has frequently been
over-generalized and under-specified. Existing accounts tend to
characterize neoliberalism as a homogeneous, and often ill-defined,
group of thinkers that exerted a broad influence over the Thatcher
government. In particular, this study explores how Margaret
Thatcher approached special interest groups, a core neoliberal
concern. The results demonstrate a willingness to utilize the
state, often in contradictory ways, to pursue apparently more
market orientated policies. This book - through a combination of
archival research, interviews and examination of neoliberal thought
itself - defines the dominant strains of neoliberalism more clearly
and explores their relationship with Thatcherism.

Originally published in 1996, this work begins by considering the
changes that have taken place in the social, political and economic
environment of Eastern Europe as a whole and then concentrates upon
the shipping market with reference to Poland, Romania, Bulgaria,
the Czech Republic and Hungary. A detailed model of the
relationship between the shipping industry and the contextual
changes that have occurred in the region in recent years is then
developed before looking specifically at the liner shipping market
of Poland and its market positioning within the context of
competition in the North Atlantic and European Union operators.
The relationship between the work of Charles Dickens and popular
literature has often been noted, but the extent to which his
fiction and journalism were rooted in, and continued to respond to,
the popular radical culture of his time had so far been unexplored.
Sally Ledger traces the influence of Regency radicals, such as
William Hone and William Cobbett, and mid-century radical writers,
such as Douglas Jerrold and the Chartists Ernest Jones and G. W. M.
Reynolds. She offers substantial readings of works from Pickwick to
Little Dorrit, arguing that Dickens's populism bridged eighteenth-
and nineteenth-century conceptions of the 'popular', the first
identified with the political idea of 'the People', the second
identified with a mass-market 'populace' that emerged during
Dickens's career. Richly illustrated, this study also uncovers the
resonance between Dickens's writings and popular graphic art by
George Cruikshank, Robert Seymour, C. J. Grant and others.
Sexually transgressive, politically astute and determined to claim
educational and employment rights equal to those enjoyed by men,
the new woman took centre stage in the cultural landscape of
late-Victorian Britain. By comparing the fictional representations
with the lived experience of the new woman, Ledger's book makes a
major contribution to an understanding of the 'woman question' at
the fin de siecle. She alights on such disparate figures as Eleanor
Marx, Gertrude Dix, Dracula, Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner and
Radclyffe Hall. Focusing mainly on the last two decades of the
nineteenth century, the book's later chapters project forward into
the twentieth century, considering the relationship between new
woman fiction and early modernism as well as the socio-sexual
inheritance of the 'second generation' new woman writers. -- .
