Contestation and Polarization in Global Governance - European Responses (Hardcover): Michelle Egan, Kolja Raube, Jan Wouters,... Contestation and Polarization in Global Governance - European Responses (Hardcover)
Michelle Egan, Kolja Raube, Jan Wouters, Julien Chaisse
R3,750 Discovery Miles 37 500 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Building a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the limits of the international rules-based liberal order across a variety of issue areas, this topical book highlights how the discourse and values inherent in these long-established political arrangements are now facing a backlash. Leading scholars examine how, with a greater dispersion of power and heterogeneity of preferences, Europe navigates a system characterized by a growing deadlock in major international institutions and a lack of compliance with international rules on global governance. Chapters analyse the challenges within international organizations and the international order itself, where the global balance of power is shifting towards a multipolar system. Challenges explored include populist-nationalist movements; rising geopolitical tensions; and growing inequality, political polarization and diminishing trust in political institutions. With the pull of global competition and rising power politics, the book identifies the limits to multilateral cooperation and the shortfalls of the traditional state-based liberal order in addressing global problems, finding a need for more diversity in governance structures to deal with increased connectivity and interdependence. Multi-disciplinary in scope, this forward-thinking book will prove vital to students and scholars of international relations, politics, and law, particularly those interested in the contestation and polarization in global governance, European responses to these challenges, and the transformation of the international liberal order.

Culture in Law Firms - Best Practices for Engagement and Retention in a Hybrid World: Naomi Beard Nelson, Mary Ellen Connerty,... Culture in Law Firms - Best Practices for Engagement and Retention in a Hybrid World
Naomi Beard Nelson, Mary Ellen Connerty, Michelle Egan
R2,746 Discovery Miles 27 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

One of the most notable after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is the impact it has had on the way we work. Gone are days of predominantly office-based roles with occasional at-home working – during the pandemic, law firms found myriad ways to keep ‘business as usual’ in an all-remote environment. Fast-forward to 2023 and all law firms have embraced some state of hybrid working culture which presents a further challenge: how to combine the flexibility of remote working with the benefits of bringing people back together in person. Culture in Law Firms examines how this rapid shift has affected law firms, explores post-pandemic law firm management trends, and explains how law firm leaders can cultivate strong bonds within the firm and with clients, as well as retain and engage top talent. Crucial to all this is the integration of effective diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), wellbeing and engagement strategies. This Special Report looks at the lessons learned during the pandemic and how they can help refine law firm management approaches to: Culture: Just as law firms tried to build a sense of culture during all-remote work, they continue to grapple with evolving strategies to foster a dynamic hybrid environment. Relationship- and firm-building are critical to this and the authors explore how many firms, as part of the ‘return-to-office’ pitch, have sought to articulate (i) what’s unique about their workplace; and (ii) how some level of in-person work is essential to forging strong relationships between colleagues and clients. DE&I: The authors explore to what extent firms are developing their return-to-office diversity and inclusion strategies and how this is underpinned by increased productivity and engagement from staff who are adequately equipped to balance work responsibilities with, for example, parenting, caring for older relatives or personal needs. Wellbeing: A true sense of inclusion and belonging is intrinsically linked with a sense of wellbeing, and the pandemic significantly increased awareness of the importance of employees’ physical and mental health. The need for workplaces to embrace and support employee wellbeing is considered in this report, and a spotlight is shone on current best practices for advancing wellbeing in a high-intensity law firm environment. Culture in Law Firms offers unique insights and expert guidance for senior law firm management (including managing partners, chairs, executive committee members, c-suite professionals and HR departments) as they navigate the ‘new normal’ to develop robust strategies for the hybrid workplace and beyond.

The Character of Human Institutions - Robin Fox and the Rise of Biosocial Science (Paperback): Michael Egan The Character of Human Institutions - Robin Fox and the Rise of Biosocial Science (Paperback)
Michael Egan
R1,181 Discovery Miles 11 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This collection of essays by seventeen outstanding scientists and scholars celebrates the life and work of Robin Fox, and the idea of a biosocial science. From early studies of kinship, primates, the brain, evolution, the incest taboo and aggression, to later work on literature, politics, civilization, law, the bible, Shakespeare, and the history of ideas, Fox has inspired many with his evolutionary vision of humanity that goes beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries and embraces the "Universal History of Mankind," including the possible human future. Fox's work encompasses sociobiology but is not limited by it. He preceded it and is both influenced by it and helped to foster it. But his work represents an independent "biosocial science" stream of thinking that accepts the Darwinian mandate while avoiding reductionism by recognizing culture as a natural phenomenon. His contribution has recently been recognized by election to the National Academy of Sciences. This book is not only a tribute to one remarkable thinker but a brilliant, entertaining and diverse summary of the state of play in current biosocial science and the thought of those influenced by it across the whole intellectual spectrum. It is that rare academic book where high thinking and good humor share the field, as they do in the life of its honoree.

Michael Egan
R3,910 Discovery Miles 39 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume celebrates the life and work of Robin Fox and the idea of a biosocial science. From his early studies of kinship, primates, the brain, evolution, the incest taboo, and aggression, to his later work on literature, politics, civilization, law, the Bible, Shakespeare, and the history of ideas, Robin Fox inspired many with an evolutionary vision of humanity that goes beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries and embraces the "universal history of mankind." Fox's work represents an independent "biosocial science" stream of thinking that accepts the Darwinian mandate while avoiding reductionism by recognizing culture as a natural phenomenon.

The essays cover Fox's life and his contributions, and address topics as diverse as the meaning and function of laughter; the unforgiving discipline of writing popular anthropology; extreme drinking rituals among young men training for the British army; Darwin and close-cousin marriage; the universal essence of the epic form as a super-attractor; anthropologists' autobiographies; the conflict between science and anti-science; and the decline of British imperial education.

This engaging collection on a "mainstream maverick" has been edited by Michael Egan. It includes essays by Sir Antony Jay, Lionel Tiger, Howard Bloom, Michael McGuire, Kate Fox, Melvin Konner, Alan Macfarlane, Adam Kuper, Dieter Steklis, Alexandra Maryanski, Bernard Chapais, Jonathan Turner, Linda Stone, Charles Macdonald, Anne Fox, David Jenkins, Frederick Turner, Robert Trivers, and an essay by Robin Fox himself.

Single Markets - Economic Integration in Europe and the United States (Hardcover): Michelle Egan Single Markets - Economic Integration in Europe and the United States (Hardcover)
Michelle Egan
R3,192 Discovery Miles 31 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This timely book provides in-depth analytical comparison of the nineteenth century evolution of the American single market with corresponding political, economic, and social developments in post-WWII European efforts to create a single European market. Building the regulatory framework needed for successful adoption of an integrated single market across diverse political units represents one of the most important issues in comparative political economy. What accounts for the political success or failure in creating integrated markets in their respective territories? When social discontent threatens market integration with populist backlash, what must be done to create political support and greater legitimacy? Single Markets focuses on the creation of integrated economies, in which the United States and European Union experienced sharply contested ideas about the operation of their respective markets, conflict over the allocation of institutional authority, and pressure from competing political, economic, and social forces over the role and consequences of increased competition. Drawing upon four case studies, the book highlights the contestation surrounding the US and EUs efforts to create common currencies, expand their borders and territories, and deal with the pressures of populist parties, regional interests and varied fiscal and economic challenges. Theoretically, the book draws on work in European integration and American Political Development (APD) to illustrate that the consolidation of markets in the US and EU took place in conjunction with the expansion of state regulatory power and pressure for democratic reform. Single Markets situates the consolidation of single markets in the US and EU in a broader comparative context that draws on research in economics, public administration, political science, law, and history.

Steak & Stations reports from a landscape of contrasts and contradictions: of speed and consumption, haute cuisine and isolated railway platforms; from nocturnal inner-city encounters to rural wildernesses where schoolgirls 'climb into the wind'. In this exhilarating debut collection, Michael Egan has developed a style of his own, a conversational staccato that compels you to reconstruct his dark, fragmented micro-narratives piece by piece. Shot through with surreal humour, experimentation and a keen political sensibility, these poems offer a peep-hole into the mysteries of domesticity, relationships and modern society.
