This edited volume analyses leadership in the public relations (PR)
industry with a specific focus on women and their leadership
styles. It looks at how women lead, the inf luence of the
socialisation process on leadership styles, the difference between
feminine and masculine leadership styles, and the impact of
leadership style on career opportunities for women. The book
features case studies exploring leadership in PR around the world
in an attempt to answer a central research question: is there a
masculine habitus in the PR industry despite the rise of women in
PR? The authors of each chapter conducted original research on
women working in PR within their own country and provide original
insights into the position of women in a feminised industry, as
well as proposing new and original theoretical frameworks for
future research. Written for scholars, researchers and students of
PR and communication, this book will also be of interest to those
studying gender studies, leadership and organisational analysis,
and sociology.
An ecofeminist criticism of neoliberalism, this book uses economic
growth, CSR and the press coverage of environmental affairs as a
case study. The author argues that CSR is part of a wheel of
neoliberalism that continually perpetuates inequality and the
exploitation of women and Nature. Using an ecofeminist sense-making
analysis of media coverage of food waste, global warming, plastic,
economic growth and CSR, the author shows how the press discourse
in writing is always similar and serves to preserve the status quo
with CSR being just a smokescreen that saved capitalism and just
one cog in the wheel of neoliberalism. While available research
offers perspectives from business and public relations studies,
looking at how CSR is implemented and how it contributes towards
the reputation of businesses, this book explores how the media
enforce CSR discourse while at the same time arguing for
environmental preservation. The book presents a combination of
quantitative and qualitative methods to explain how and why CSR is
being pushed forward by the news media, and how the media preserves
the status quo by creating moral panic on environmental issues
while at the same time pushing for CSR discourse and economic
growth, which only contributes towards environmental degradation.
The original research presented in the book looks at how the media
write about economic growth, plastics, food waste, CSR and global
warming. This interdisciplinary study draws on ecofeminist theory
and media feminist theory to provide a novel analysis of CSR,
making the case that enforcing CSR as a way to do business damages
the environment and that the media enforce a neoliberal discourse
of promoting both economic growth and environmentalism, which does
not go together. Examining the UK media as a case study, a detailed
methodological account is provided so that the study can be
repeated and compared elsewhere. The book is aimed at academics and
researchers in business and media studies, as well as those in
women's studies. It will also be relevant to scholars in business
management and marketing.
The Sustainability Debate is the result of a collaboration between
academics and members of the Retail Institute predominantly working
in retail and packaging industries. It responds to practitioners'
frustration with consumers' emotionality and lack of knowledge
around sustainability issues, problems often fostered by the media.
This fourteenth volume of Critical Studies on Corporate
Responsibility, Governance and Sustainability thus puts together a
debate that goes beyond the rhetoric of environmental protection
and looks at sustainability from several angles. The book is
predominantly focused on human and social sustainability and this
focus is carried into sections that discuss sustainable policies,
media and gender. This volume ultimately moves away from merely
discussing environmental protection and shifts to the effect
sustainable policies have on people and society. With a scope
expanded to include human and social sustainability as well as
economic sustainability, this book's original contribution is that
is sees sustainability as a dynamic and complex system of human,
social and environmental aspects.

This book aims to contribute to the debate on European cultural
policy and cultural diplomacy as well as to fill in the gap that
exists in this under-researched field. Europe is still struggling
in formulating its common cultural policy that will present Europe
as a united and diverse entity to the world while the EU Member
States invest efforts in promoting themselves only. This volume
examines individual practices in 10 selected cases while the
introduction study outlines main features of the EU cultural
diplomacy.
Religion in the Post-Yugoslav Context brings together a diverse
group of scholars, each of them specializing in the role of
religion in one of the Yugoslav successor states. In addition to
providing the readership with the understanding of both the general
context (religion during the disintegration of the Yugoslav state)
as well as more specific aspects (individual post-Yugoslav states),
this rich collection complements the existing research in the
fields of religious studies and political science. It represents an
important source for scholars and students interested in the
post-Yugoslav dynamic. Moreover, this kind of analysis is of major
relevance for state and non-state actors involved in promotion of
religious tolerance.
Europe as a Multiple Modernity: Multiplicity of Religious
Identities and Belonging challenges the predominant modernity
theory arguing that Europe can be considered as one multiple
modernity. In that, the book presents a collection of essays
showing the plurality of discourses and variety in human
self-reflexion on notions of religious and belonging in everyday
lives. Emphasis is placed on religious actors and individuals in
Europe, and the multiplicity of their senses of religious
identification and belonging.
