'Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' is the first in a series of
three books which collectively present the work of the Jerusalem
Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two
diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. JOCI's raison
d'etre was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old
City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of
the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. 'Track
Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' includes a series of studies that
place JOCI within its historical setting and explain the
theoretical context of Track Two diplomacy. The book then proceeds
to present the Initiative's culminating documents, which outline in
detail its proposed Special Regime governance model. Until now, the
proposals have remained unpublished and available only to a limited
audience of key stakeholders. Presenting the information in an
accessible format, this book will contribute positively to the
wider conversation on Jerusalem, especially with respect to the
longstanding conflict over control and governance of this holy
city. It will therefore be of value to several audiences, from the
policy-making community to the various traditions found in
academia.
"The 9/11 attacks and other subsequent events have fostered further
dimensions to port, maritime and supply chain security with a raft
of compulsory and voluntary measures being put in place at both
domestic and global levels. Risk Management in Port Operations is
the first insight into the complex world of port and supply chain
security. It combines selected peer-reviewed contributions from an
international line-up of academic and professional experts in the
field. In particular, the book addresses operational and management
challenges that port, international logistics and supply chain
operators face today in view of the new security regulations and
the requirements of increased visibility throughout the supply
chain. The book also offers a rare blend of academic and
practitioner contributions covering a wide collection of security
models and applications ranging from operational and functional
subjects to management and policy issues; the first insight into
the complex world of port
Originally published in 1983, The Sentiment of Reality covers the
rise and decline of the realist novel from the mid-eighteenth
century to the mid-twentieth century. The book takes the form of an
extended essay on two closely related themes in the history of the
novel: first, the impact and aftermath of the eighteenth-century
cult of sentiment and, secondly, the supplanting of illusionism by
an aesthetic of mimesis. This forms the basis of an exploration of
the emotional impact that fiction has on the reader. Using this
analysis, the book defends the realist tradition against common
contemporary criticism. The Sentiment of Reality combines a close
reading of key moments in European fiction with a wide-ranging
speculative treatment of historical and formal questions.
First published in 1972, this books examines the subject of
primitivism through the study of the work of a number of major
writers, including D. H. Lawrence, Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad,
T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. It looks at the variety of definitions
and uses of primitivism and how the idea has changed over time as
well as with each writer. In doing so, it is argued that
primitivism denotes, or arises from, a sense of crisis in
civilization and it is born of the interplay between the civilized
self and the desire to reject or transform it. This book will be of
interest to those studying modern literature.
Governance and Security in Jerusalem is the second in a series of
three books which collectively present in detail the work of the
Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track
Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of
the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the
Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable
of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This
book presents a collection of studies commissioned by the
Initiative in aid of its work on the Special Regime. It is split
into three parts, Part I provides background papers on governance
and security issues; Part II presents Palestinian and Israeli
partner perspectives on governance options for a special regime,
and the Part III delivers partner perspectives on security studies
for a special regime. The studies written by the Israeli and
Palestinian partners provide important background and historical
context for JOCI's work on security and governance. The position
papers, presented in their original form, greatly influenced the
development of the Special Regime governance model. Offering a
unique insight on a range of governance and security issues in
Jerusalem, this book will be of great significance to the
policy-making community and students and scholars with an interest
in Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the
Middle East peace process.

In an attempt to cope with the profusion of tools and techniques
for qualitative methods, texts for students have tended to respond
in the following two ways: "how to" or "why to." In contrast, this
book takes on both tasks to give students a more complete picture
of the field. An Invitation to Qualitative Fieldwork is a helpful
guide, a compendium of tips, and a workbook for skills. Whether for
a class, as a reference book, or something to return to before,
during, and after data-collection, An Invitation to Qualitative
Fieldwork is a new kind of qualitative handbook.

Although refuted by recent theorists, Leavis's liberal humanist
literary criticism remains the single most potent influence on the
teaching of literature. This book surveys his career and locates
him within the critical tradition. This book should be of interest
to students of English literature, and cultural studies.

This book contains selected peer-reviewed papers that were
presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Transportation
Network Reliability (INSTR) Conference held at the University of
Minnesota July 22-23, 2010. International scholars, from a variety
of disciplines--engineering, economics, geography, planning and
transportation-offer varying perspectives on modeling and analysis
of the reliability of transportation networks in order to
illustrate both vulnerability to day-to-day and unpredictability
variability and risk in travel, and demonstrates strategies for
addressing those issues. The scope of the chapters includes all
aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability,
specifically user perception of unreliability of public transport,
public policy and reliability of travel times, the valuation and
economics of reliability, network reliability modeling and
estimation, travel behavior and vehicle routing under uncertainty,
and risk evaluation and management for transportation networks. The
book combines new methodologies and state of the art practice to
model and address questions of network unreliability, making it of
interest to both academics in transportation and engineering as
well as policy-makers and practitioners.

Not until the recent attacks on transport systems has transport
security become a focus of public concern and academic research.
Various aspects of transport security have already been analysed
under different agendas. Some research was focused on the potential
risk to the environment resulting from transport, in particular
from the transport of hazardous or dangerous goods, while other
research considered critical elements of transport networks or
supply chains as vital lifelines in the case of natural disasters.
Recently, new threats stimulated interest in transport security as
a stand-alone issue, placing it at the forefront of political and
academic agendas. A NATO Advanced Research Workshop held at
Imperial College London in January 2009 brought together those with
expertise in the above-mentioned fields in order to verify the
current state of knowledge in the field and identify promising
areas for future work. The workshop concentrated on maritime and
intermodal transport, risk management and long-term strategic
planning, rather than on the details of monitoring or detection
techniques. This collection of papers emanates largely from that
workshop. While transport systems are widely recognized as
terrorist targets, complete protection of these systems is
economically and practically infeasible. The workshop looked at
analytical methods to identify critical points in the transport
infrastructure and the prioritization of defensive and mitigating
measures given the limited resources available. Deficiencies in
methods for conducting such an assessment were identified and the
need for cost-effective mitigation measures was emphasized.
Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a
series of books which collectively present in detail the work of
the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led
Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The
aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions
for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and
intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and
Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious
issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple
Mount/Haram al-Sharif, the role of UNESCO, and the major
implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as
archaeology, property, and the economy. Part I is dedicated to holy
sites - ground zero of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a point
reinforced by the autumn 2014 disturbances which threatened to
spiral out of control and engulf Palestinians and Israelis in yet
another wave of violence. Parts II-IV of the volume contain studies
on archaeology, property, and economics that were written after the
completion of the Special Regime model, specifically to address in
depth how a Special Regime would deal with each of these three
important areas. Contested Sites in Jerusalem offers an insightful
explanation of the enormous challenges facing any attempt to find
sustainable governance and security arrangements for the Old City
in the context of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. It will therefore be of immense value to the
policy-making community, as well as anyone in academia with a focus
on Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the
Middle East peace process.
