Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

"To think about 'what we wear' may seem to be a waste of time to some, yet it cannot be denied that we seem to live in an epoch where living is more and more defined by the fashionable. Fashion Statements offers the reader a number of innovative and thoughtful investigations and provocations, stimulating a re-thinking of what exactly the 'fashionable' means. The diverse and talented authors of these writings shed a fascinating variety of lights upon the subject - Foucault and Westwood, denim and despair, the glory and the subjection of the naked and the dressed, just to mention a few. Open up this book to any page and you will find an original reflection on fashion and its power to signify, obfuscate, imprison, swindle, protect, seduce, delight, and foil. These essays are testimony to the fact that if philosophers, critics, and cultural observateurs are to truly live up to their respective tasks, not one of them could keep their title without examining the question of the fashionable. Fashion Statements shows that philosophy can and should do a thinking of the trend 'itself'. Herein is found more than a few replies to the question Quentin Crisp put to Calvin Klein: 'What does it all mean?'" - Kevin R. MacDonald, Professor of Philosophy, The Fashion Institute of Technology

'In this impressive and rigorous book, Horn examines the politics, power and paradoxes that are central to the construction and transformation of company law and corporate governance at the European Union level. Horn's lucid analysis makes an important and timely contribution. She not only denaturalises the regulatory developments linked to corporate governance but also maintains focus on the social implications of marketised corporate governance.' Susanne Soederberg, Professor and Canada Research Chair, Department of Global Development Studies & Political Studies, Queen's University, Canada

'This is an important book, not only for those interested in corporate governance issues but also for those concerned with the power of corporations in modern society. It explains how the state actively constructed the framework that supported the rise of shareholder value in the European Union. Given the dominance of the corporate governance field by micro-level econometric studies, the book provides a much-needed historical perspective on one of the most important projects in post-world war II capitalism.' Sigurt Vitols, Senior Research Fellow WZB and Senior Researcher, ETUI, Brussels
In this superb book, Laura Horn has given us an incisive, carefully researched, and powerfully argued analysis of European corporate governance reform. Linking national and EU regulatory politics within the broader historical context of financial globalization, her integration of comparative and international political economy strips away the rhetoric of efficiency and 'free' markets to focus on power as the driver and the objective of corporate governance reform. John W. Cioffi, Associate Professor, University of California, Riverside

“What is great about the book is its bipartite structure of theory and praxis, which leads to a better understanding of the subject matter. … For each chapter with programming examples, the reader can find the source code on the publisher’s website. All of these features make the book a solid primer for working with MySQL when building IoT solutions and very enjoyable to read.” (Klaus K. Obermeier, Computing Reviews, March, 2017)“This book would be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). … the book outlines how IoT works, what hardware is currently available for IoT systems, the different approaches to how IoT data is stored and transmitted, the nature of MySQL, the differences between low-cost and high-availability IoT systems, and how the technologies can be used in practice.” (Mark Taylor, Computing Reviews, November, 2016)

“This excellent work on the relationship among Turkey, the West, and the EU is most timely. … she covers a wide range of issues, which helps make sense of current headlines about the EU and Turkey. … The current migrant issue has opened a new chapter in the EU-Turkey drama, and Martin’s work provides analysis for readers to understand the big, the immediate, and the long-term pictures. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (H. Steck, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)“This rich book traces EU-Turkey relations between the two poles of geopolitics and norms. … The methodological choice to apply a qualitative process-tracing approach represents one of the book’s added values. … the author has fully reached her aim to ‘make a case on the balance of probabilities for a given explanation’ … and is very convincing in doing so.” (Funda Tekin, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (4), 2016)
