A Guide to Thriving in an Age of Disruption

How to Prepare Now for What's Next

'Michael Butler's book provides a fascinating look at the ways in which major U.S. military interventions since the end of the cold war have been framed as "just wars" for purposes of selling their legitimacy to domestic audiences. The in-depth examinations of the manner in which U.S. military interventions against Iraq, Serbia and Afghanistan were framed for domestic consumption are compelling and insightful.' - David Kinsella, Portland State University, USA

'With a truly novel and engaging analytical focus, Butler's impressive scholarly achievement foregrounds how US foreign policy elites have politicized Just War frames. With important theoretical insights and rock-solid case studies, this book will make an impact on the fields of IR theory, International Ethics, Foreign Policy Analysis and International Security.' Brent J. Steele, University of Kansas, USA

'Michael Butler shows for the first time how modern leaders utilise the Just War tradition and how these ancient ideas can enable - and sometimes inhibit - modern political action. Combining methodological rigour, a deep understanding of the ethical and political issues at stake and erudite reasoning, he takes the study of Just War thinking to a new level by showing how it operates in practice.' - Alex J. Bellamy, Griffith Asia Institute, Australia

“Book explores and
describes various dilemmas facing the managers and employees of organisations
that operate across national and cultural boundaries. … authorial bag of
academics, practitioners, and cross-cultural specialists, while unusual, may
prove to be the book’s strength. … editor puts the cases descriptive
information only after a longish explanation of the cases’ key issues and
problems.” (William C. Frederick, wiiliamcfrederick.com, January, 2016)

Educational Trends Exposed

"This exceptionally clever book offers an animated romp through contemporary horror films, highlighting links between this popular genre and cultural anxieties about youth and education. Grunzke argues that horror movies' characterization of mad scientists, school bullies, dysfunctional families, and the creepy aspects of school hallways, college dorms, and summer camps provide a mirror with which Americans have identified their own social fears about youth, knowledge, and education." - Kate Rousmaniere, Professor of History of Education, Miami University, Ohio, USA.

"Grunzke stretches the history of education to unexamined places of learning brilliantly, with acid irony and scholarly verve. He makes the horror film, a storied cinematic genre, a teaching institution. It mirrors adolescent angst, lacing the picture with personal terrors and humor, experiences routinely omitted from historical excursions. Grunzke gives them life and consequence." - Donald Warren, Professor Emeritus, Education History and Policy, Indiana University, USA

From the reviews:“This brief reviews the state of the art … in research on the interworking of heterogeneous wireless local area networks (WLANs) and mobile (cellular) networks. … The book requires the reader to have a solid knowledge of both WLAN and mobile network principles. The readers who are most likely to benefit from it are … research specialists and graduate students interested in the topic.” (Rita Puzmanova, ACM Computing Reviews, November, 2012)

'this is a highly readable, comprehensive and detailed account of the 2004 European elections in the UK. It is essential reading for anyone interested in British elections and the role of the EU in British politics.' - Richard Whitaker, Representation

“Gad Guterman’s monograph Performance, Identity, and Immigration Law: A Theatre of Undocumentedness (2014) discusses the constitution of legal nonexistence and accounts of living without documents in relation to theatrical language, identity performance, and presence through the lens of several case studies of recent US-American plays on immigration.” (Julia Boll, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Vol. 6 (2), November, 2018)"Gad Guterman's book is a unique analysis of plays by or about undocumented people from a variety of cultures living tenuously in the United States. His analysis is based on a thorough knowledge of theatrical praxis as well as an enlightening assessment of the legal policies underlying the impetus for the plays and performances he discusses through this new lens. This excellent study brings into conversation the multiple aesthetic and political ramifications of staged and un-staged performances of citizenship." - Jorge A. Huerta, Chancellor's Associates Professor of Theatre Emeritus, University of California, San Diego, USA

"The plays Guterman focuses on are provocative and accessible, which is a boon for studying and teaching this important archive of American drama. His analyses are penetrating, balanced, and sharp. Guterman shows us the important role theatre can play in troubling our 'legal consciousness,' bringing undocumentedness out of the shadows and into the light, and fostering deeper dialogues about the tense gap between 'I don't belong here' and 'I want to be here.'" - Tamara Underiner, Director, Theatre and Performance of the Americas Program, Arizona State University, USA

“In Boys, Young Men, and Violence, Ken Harland and Sam McCready provides the results of an 18-year study that focused on the development of adolescent boys and young men ranging in ages from eleven to twenty-three. … They provide data and ideas that are particularly needed by educators, professionals, officials, and researchers worldwide, to better respond to at-risk adolescent boys and young men who struggle with violence on an everyday basis.” (Michael R. Shew, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 45, 2016)

'Richard Packer's book is the definitive account of the BSE crisis. It shows how myth and deliberate distortion have disguised the truth. This is an important book, not only for those interested in BSE but for anyone who wants to know how the truth about public events can get lost.' - Lord Waldegrave of North Hill, formerly Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and formerly Secretary of State for Health

'The Politics of BSE, [is] a rip-roaring 254-pager by Sir Richard Packer, permanent secretary at the mininstry of agriculture... it's a gem: a tad short on romance, maybe, but one helluva plot and such compelling characters. There's even a PM called Tony Blair, hampered by a congenital difficulty in distinguishing words from action. Here at the Diary, we say marvel at that mandarin.' - Jon Henley, The Guardian

' a must read for all who have been affected by the BSE trauma.' - David Richardson, Farmers Weekly

'...his book will remain a prime source for understaning BSE and, more generally, for the study of policy-making under pressure.' - Political Quarterly

'Packer... presents a compelling case...The Politics of BSE is a timely and engaging exposition of the political drama that played out for years.' - Journal of the Institute of Economic Affairs

'Much of what is in these pages is of immense value, both to students of the crisis, and to those interested in the culture of Whitehall. There are good reconstructions of the chaos of crisis management, brutally frank appraisals of civil service colleagues and politicans, and plenty of insider knowledge.' - Michael Moran, Public Administration
