"This inspiring book, by reflecting on the experiences of Latin America’s "Progressive Wave" and of social movements like ‘La Vía Campesina" and the Zapatistas, which attempt to create a "post-neoliberal" world, makes a refreshing contribution to critical development studies." Cristóbal Kay, Emeritus Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands

"Reframing the Development Question in Latin America is an excellent collection providing innovative insights into progressive and alternative strategies of development in Latin America.　The book is a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to the literature on development, grass-roots social movements, and the failings of neoliberalism in the region." Tamar Diana Wilson, Independent Researcher, Mexico

"This book provides an extremely important contribution to the current debate on the process of transformative social change underway in Latin America. It is written by scholars who are at the cutting edge of current debates on alternative development thinking and practice. A must read for those seeking to move beyond the destructive forces of capitalist development." James Petras, Professor (Emeritus), State University of New York at Binghampton, USA
"Professors Munck, Delgado Wise and their all-star team have produced a book of critical importance for scholars of development and social change in Latin America and beyond. At a time when the world capitalist system is descending into crisis, the ‘Left turn’ in the region faces the challenge of rethinking development beyond extractivism, and the Right is on the move to reimpose the tyranny of the market, these essays provide thoughtful debate on the way forward for popular alternatives to a predatory global capitalism. Taken as a whole, they set forth a renovated critical development studies from a Latin American standpoint." William I. Robinson, Professor of Sociology, Global, and Latin American Studies, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA
"A welcome and refreshing coherent volume on diverse themes that explores progressive and critical development studies over the past twenty years, identifying new trends and updating debates on past and present issues." Ronald H. Chilcote, Edward A. Dickson Emeritus Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, USA

Reframing Latin American Development

From the reviews:

"The book provides an elementary introduction to the collective dynamics for researchers and graduate students in a variety of disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, biology and social sciences." (Zentralblatt MATH, 1011, 2003)
"This book constitutes a reference of invaluable usefulness for all researchers interested in the study of collective phenomena. … Moreover, each topic is presented in a form which, without neglecting all mathematical details, allows for an immediate understanding of its deep conceptual grounds … . This book is highly recommended also because it contains discussions of some subjects which it would be difficult to find elsewhere." (E. Pessa, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004 c)

'A surprising and savory smörgåsbord of sensory stipulations. Synesthestic Legalities brings a brilliant and diverse array of scholarly attentions to the frequently misunderstood embodiments of law. The corpus iuris here becomes real, and the process of apprehending its foods, its tastes, its music, its flatness and protrusions, hauntings and the other odours of order, take in properly theatrical fashion to the jurisprudential stage.'Professor Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law, USA‘The book flies us to Hawaï, its volcano’s and metaphors. Legal semiotics tells us there, that law involves all our senses and experiences. A feeling of revolt awakens, if that approach is fragmented. Only the peace of rational and sensual wholeness will be felt as meaningful. Law without senses is senseless — can you hear me?’ Professor Jan M. Broekman, University of Leuven, Belgium and Penn State, USA'Synesthetic Legalities builds on the connection between law and the senses, which is vigorously re-explored in the literature, fortified by law’s material and corporeal turns. But it takes it a step further: it brings in synesthetic, namely the sensorial overlapping where the cause does not determine the effect in a mechanistic manner, but allows for the emergence of a plethora of creative possibilities. Synesthetic Legalities is nothing less than a kaleidoscope of sensorial inputs, ranging from taste to the kinaesthetic, via such varied embodiments as dance, sketching, and ethics of care, all wrapped in the intense sensuality of volcanic ethics. The taste of law will never sound the same after reading this book.'Professor Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, University of Westminster, UK

'This is an outstandingly clear, careful and thorough account of where Derrida's thought is coming from, by a gifted younger scholar.  Snap it up!' Don Cupitt, Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, UK  'Rayment-Pickard has adroitly wovenÂ a picture of the theological implications of Derrida's thought, which he describes as a movement from the impossibility of theology to a theology of the impossible, a position that he situates on the border between the living God and the death of God.Â  A challenging and thoughtful book that gets well beyond the usual stereotypes of Derrida and repays careful study'. John D. Caputo, David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy, Villanova University  '...brilliant exposition of Derrida’s thought in relation to Husserl and Heidegger....Hugh Rayment-Pickard succeeds in making Derrida accessible to those who may need to have a philosophical turn of mind, but who do not need to be fully paid-up members of the post-modern cognoscenti. As he says: if we can understand why Derrida’s texts are so difficult, we will begin to understand what his philosophy is attempting to achieve.... We are given remarkable insights into one of the great minds of modern times, and for that we should be very grateful.' Dr John Saxbee, Bishop of Lincoln, in Church Times  '... compelling, well-reasoned, and historically sensitive arguments...' Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory  'There are some illuminating discussions of the relation between negative and positive theology, and of the death of God in Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger and from there to Derrida... an important, interesting and challenging read.' The Heythrop Journal  'This book will repay repeated reading and is to be highly recommended not only for students of Christian theology, but for those interested in the intersection between theology and philosophy, but also for students interested in the application of Derrida's deconstruction of decolonisation and the post-colonial experience.

"Prasad’s book is a "magical mirror" that in reflecting the compendium of environmental performance audits undertaken by SAIs over the last two decades also provides insight into them, particularly how the INTOSAI-WGEA influences the activity. It clearly demonstrates that SAIs experienced in environmental performance audits are ready to support the 2030 Agenda. While not easy, the existing environmental auditing capacity can be up-scaled for auditing the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting partnership among WGEA members and other stakeholders." —Moermahadi Soerja Djanegara, CA., CPA, Chair of The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia, as Chair of the INTOSAI WGEA

"This book puts a timely spotlight on environmental performance auditing when governments all over the world are embarking upon initiatives to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a valuable guide for students and professionals working with implementation, monitoring and reporting of 2030 Agenda and SDGs." —Shahbaz Khan, Director UNESCO Regional Science Bureau for Asia and the Pacific, Jakarta, Indonesia

"This book is a timely global review and analysis of the application of Performance Auditing to Government environmental programs and will be particularly interesting to both practitioners and academics. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda and current debates over　climate change have focussed considerable public attention on the effectiveness of such programs." — Pat Barrett AO., Distinguished Honorary Professor and Senior Fellow ANCAAR, Research School of Accounting, Australian National University, Former Auditor-General of Australia (1995-2005) 

"Awadhesh Prasad’s research contributes to the growing, but still scarce, body of knowledge on performance auditing. It delivers an excellent overall picture of the state-of-the-art on environmental performance auditing and an in-depth comparative analysis in three countries. This book offers enriching insights for practitioners, researchers and students in the field of performance auditing, policy evaluation and environmental policy." — Vital Put, Councillor at the Belgian Court of Audit and Visiting Professor at the Public Governance Institute of the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium

"This book enables you to benefit from the experience of other audit institutions and to reflect on your work from an international perspective. It is strongly recommended for environmental auditors in the public sector." — Sylvia van Leeuwen, Auditor at the Audit Office of Utrecht, The Netherlands (since 2014), Former Environmental Auditor at the Netherlands Court of Audit (1995 - 2015) and the Netherland’s representative to the INTOSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing (1995 - 2005)

"Performance auditing by supreme audit institutions is the world's most rigorous and widespread mechanism for effectiveness evaluation of policy implementation. Yet its role in assessing the environmental and sustainability policy efforts of nations has received scant attention. Prasad's book breaks new ground and offers invaluable insights for all engaged in formulating, implementing or evaluating environment and sustainability policies." —Stephen Dovers FASSA, Emeritus Professor, Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University

Rock 'n' Roll Sweepstakes: The Authorised Biography of Ian Hunter (Volume 1)

This book is a valuable and innovative contribution both to masculinity studies and to the understanding of American fiction. It is a book that encourages us to look again at canonical authors from a fresh perspective, and to pay better attention to novels that have been unduly neglected. The ideas about masculinity here have a strong contemporary resonance, while being grounded in excellent close readings of the fiction of the 1970s.
-- Dr Kenneth Millard, The University of Edinburgh 
This is a politically sophisticated study of the cultural production of American masculinities in a time of social and political turbulence and rapid change. This book offers a fresh perspective on the development of masculinities in the American 1970s, and the post-Sixties, post-Vietnam, and ultimately post-Fordist shocks that the United States experienced during that decade. Considering key writers and texts from the period, this study offers a timely analysis of the constructions of masculinity during a period of social and economic upheaval.
-- Dr Brian Baker, Lancaster University, UK

'This multi-disciplinary volume brings together a wealth of case studies on the history and archaeology of East Central Europe. With their focus on connectivity, these contributions challenge the notion of a static and bounded medieval Europe, traditionally dominated by studies of the West.'
Aleks Pluskowski, University of Reading, UK

'This book presents important research by leading and emerging scholars on an often neglected region of Europe. The essays in The Medieval Networks in East Central Europe cover a wide variety of topics with a particular emphasis on trade relations, both within the region and with Western Europe and Asia, which will appeal to medievalists in general, not just specialists in this region. In fact, the essays in this book demonstrate that the medieval history of this region is an essential part not only of European history but also of Europe’s place in world history.'

`Moving easily through social theory, theology, newly created data, and insightful interviews, Russell Powell's brilliant book presents an illuminating, nuanced, and persuasive account of the relationship between the diverse lived experiences of religion and law in Turkey. But the discussion also has profound implications for the relationship between law and religion in the United States and elsewhere. This is an exceedingly important book.'Steven H. Shiffrin, Charles Frank Reavis Sr. Professor of Law, Emeritus, Cornell University Law School, USA'Professor Powell’s study is a compelling exploration of the complex ways in which religious identity is constructed within the legally secular framework of modern Turkey. Meticulously researched and supported by quantitative data from empirical studies, it is particularly insightful into the contradictory understandings of Shari¿a in contemporary Turkey, from a symbol of faith for some to one of oppression for others.'Professor Ali Asani, Director, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Islamic Studies Program, Harvard University, USA'Russell Powell’s conclusion that most Turks of different educational backgrounds and degrees of religiosity support traditional moral values while holding relatively libertarian views on freedom of religion offers an important corrective to much of the literature. Conceptually clear and methodologically innovative, this book makes an important contribution by identifying an enduring role for religion in shaping the moral universe of secular Turks and the constitutive role of Turkish secularism in framing the preferences of religious Turks concerning state implementation of Shari¿a.'Professor Asli Ü Bâli, Director, UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies, UCLA School of Law, USA"This is a welcome addition to the growin
