On December 11th 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). China and the Long March to Global Trade examines the prolonged negotiations leading up to this historic event. This edited collection assumes little prior knowledge of the Chinese accession process yet provides an in-depth examination of the related issues. It is therefore suitable for both those who require an introduction to the field and those with an existing interest in China and the World Trade Organization.

Every day, every one of us is a leader in some way - we just don't necessarily know it. Leadership is about inspiring change and movement, whether on an individual level - a person's attitude, behaviour, emotions or habits - or an organizational level - culture, goals, vision or strategy. By changing the way you approach the concept of leadership, The Everyday Leader will help you recognise and embrace your natural leadership qualities, so that you can be more motivated and empowered in the workplace and at home.
The Everyday Leader tackles the main challenges that leaders face at some point in their career: leading teams; attaining buy-in from stakeholders; leading through artificial intelligence; whistleblowing; and leading from a distance. But the book also addresses the leadership issues that occur in day-to-day life: listening and empathising; making change attractive and accessible; influencing and persuading; and making the right decision through information overload.
Providing advice and tools for those looking to polish their existing leadership skills or anyone who wants to take the next step in their career, The Everyday Leader also recognises that leadership doesn't stop once you clock off - these are lessons you can and should take home with you.
In Small Business and the City, Rafael Gomez, Andre Isakov, and
Matt Semansky highlight the power of small-scale entrepreneurship
to transform local neighbourhoods and the cities they inhabit.
Studying the factors which enable small businesses to survive and
thrive, they highlight the success of a Canadian concept which has
spread worldwide: the Business Improvement Area (BIA). BIAs allow
small-scale entrepreneurs to pool their resources with like-minded
businesses, becoming sources of urban rejuvenation, magnets for
human talent, and incubators for local innovation in cities around
the globe.
Small Business and the City also analyses the policies necessary
to support this urban vitality, describing how cities can encourage
and support locally owned independent businesses. An inspiring
account of the dynamism of urban life, Small Business and the City
introduces a new "main street agenda" for the twenty-first century
city.

La Tesis Doctoral que presentamos constituye un pormenorizado
estudio sobre una de las publicaciones culturales de prensa mas
destacadas de la cultura andaluza de las ultimas decadas. Se trata
de un suplemento cultural que nunca hasta ahora se habia analizado
en profundidad. El trabajo no solo contribuye a divulgar esta
publicacion galardonada con el premio Nacional al Fomento de la
Lectura del Libro del Ministerio de Cultura, tambien sirve para
reconocer la originalidad de uno de los grandes suplementos de
Andalucia y de Espana. Entre las secciones de este trabajo
destacamos la introduccion, donde se expone de manera detallada una
serie de problemas a los que se puede enfrentar cualquier
investigador que quiera estudiar los suplementos culturales. Otro
apartado interesante es el capitulo tercero, dedicado al estudio de
la critica en el suplemento desde sus caracteristicas formales
hasta sus origenes historicos. Y tambien el capitulo cuarto, donde
se recoge el importante papel que el suplemento tuvo en el
discurrir vital del movimiento cultural de la literatura de la
"Diferencia," y por tanto en la poesia andaluza y nacional."
Why have Americans, who by a clear majority approve of unions, been
joining them in smaller numbers than ever before? This book answers
that question by comparing the American experience with that of
Canada, where approval for unions is significantly lower than in
the United States, but where since the mid-1960s workers have
joined organized labor to a much greater extent. Given that the two
countries are outwardly so similar, what explains this paradox?
This book provides a detailed comparative analysis of both
countries using, among other things, a detailed survey conducted in
the United States and Canada by the Ipsos-Reid polling group.The
authors explain that the relative reluctance of employees in the
United States to join unions, compared with those in Canada, is
rooted less in their attitudes toward unions than in the former
country's deep-seated tradition of individualism and laissez-faire
economic values. Canada has a more statist, social democratic
tradition, which is in turn attributable to its Tory and European
conservative lineage. Canadian values are therefore more supportive
of unionism, making unions more powerful and thus, paradoxically,
lowering public approval of unions. Public approval is higher in
the United States, where unions exert less of an influence over
politics and the economy.
