Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in
this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her
colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah

up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins

baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred
- soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a
grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing
in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a
force to be reckoned with.

'Modern society is shaped in ways that were scarcely thought of a
few years ago - and debates on regulation and governance have much
work to do if they are to come to grips with new modes and sources
of influence such as the new media and transnational engagements.
This book makes an incisive contribution to the re-configuring of
those debates and will appeal to all who look for an invigorated
understanding of regulation, governance and social change.' -
Robert Baldwin, London School of Economics and Political Science,
UK Society, Regulation and Governance critically appraises the
issue of intentional social change through the lens of regulation
and governance studies. A twofold understanding of regulation and
governance underpins the conceptual and empirical engagement
throughout the book. On the one hand, regulation and governance are
understood to be innovatively minded. On the other hand the book
argues that, at their respective cores, regulation and governance
are continuously concerned with how intentional social change can
be fostered and what results can be yielded in terms of shaping
society. This book brings together sociologists, political
scientists, legal scholars and historians to produce an
interdisciplinary critical evaluation of alleged 'new modes' of
social change, specifically: risk, publics and participation. It
makes three key contributions by: offering a consolidation and
re-appraisal of a debate that has become increasingly vague with
its academic and political proliferation identifying a uniting
conceptual-analytical core between regulation and governance which
explains the adaptability and innovation-mindedness of processes of
'shaping society' re-focusing on the 'essence' of regulation and
governance approaches - intentional modes of social change.
Society, Regulation and Governance will give significant insight
into the potential and limits of new methods of social change,
suiting a wide range of social science and legal academics due to
its collaborative nature. Contributors include: A.-L. Beaussier, A.
Bora, E. Carmel, M. Huber, D. Kuchenbuch, M. Moelders, P. Munte, R.
Paul, H. Rothstein, J.-F. Schrape, L. Viellechner
A philosophical analysis of the rationality of the Christian faith
and the rationality of science aims at establishing the kind of
relationship that should exist between religion and science owing
to the human rational capacity as the uniting factor. If the human
being is one and that same human being is rational and capable of
science and religion, there should be a possibility of a
reconciliation of these two domains within his rational capacity.
The study takes into consideration the various models of the
relationship between science and religion and arrives at the fact
that conflicts that seem to arise are always due to lack of
intellectual honesty and the failure to accept the limits of one's
competence. This is a product of a scientific doctoral research.
The search for alternatives to capitalism and the problem of
comparative assessment of the performance of socialist and
capitalist systems have inspired one of the richest and most
remarkable episodes in the history of economic thought. By the mid
20th century an entire field had emerged, conceptualizing,
theorizing, monitoring, and analyzing the largest and most
consequential social and economic natural experiment in human
history: Real-life Socialism. This research review focuses on the
fundamental literature associated with the comparative study of
socialist and capitalist systems. It features both a well-rounded
inquiry of the modern history of economic thought, as well as a
vibrant and critical disentanglement of the role of the economic
system from the role of environment and policy decisions, as
determinants of economic performance. This review will be an
interesting and invaluable research resource for academics and
students alike.
