From the war on terror to the global financial crisis, traditional concepts of world politics are being challenged on a daily basis. In these uncertain times, the study of international relations and the forces that shape them have never been more important. Written specifically for students who are approaching this subject for the first time, World Politics is the most accessible, coherent and up-to-date account of the field available. It covers the historical backdrop to today's political situations, the complex interactions of states and non-state actors, the role of political economy, human security in all its forms, and the ways in which culture, religion and identity influence events.

It comes as a surprise to many that the elemental human impulse to tell stories, far from being the exclusive realm of children's bedtime, long-forgotten civilisations and remote cultures, is also a burgeoning creative art form here, now, in twenty-first century, postindustrial societies. Storytelling in the Moment is a wide-ranging, multidisciplinary yet accessible exploration of contemporary verbal storytelling in Britain and Ireland. Primary research focuses attention on the working practices of today's storytellers, the role of the listener/participant in a storytelling event, the informal groups and established organisations that sustain its development, the multifaceted roles that storytelling now plays in our society and the complex network interconnections that link its component parts. It also seeks to reveal how an emergent, grassroots, socio-cultural movement can become ubiquitous in society but pass largely unnoticed by a wider public in an age of global mass-media. The sometimes unconventional research methodologies, narrative forms and conversational style of this study owes much to the author's extended careers as filmmaker of music, arts, humanities and public service documentaries and as screenmedia consultant to UK and worldwide governments and international agencies.

Those who extrapolate trends and predict the future say that economic, political and even genetic factors will determine the future of the world. But, in fact, culture makes the world go around, according to Richard D. Lewis, a well-traveled scholar who reflects here on the origins and implications of human cultures. Culture has deep roots in history, religion and language, so it will probably be a more potent factor in shaping the future than many observers grant. Now it is fashionable to say that cultures are coalescing into one global culture. This author strenuously opposes that easy assumption. He also offers a deeper look at Islamic culture in a post-Sept. 11 addendum.

De globalisering maakt het Nederlandse bedrijfsleven steeds internationaler: buitenlandse multinationals vestigen zich in Nederland of nemen Nederlandse bedrijven over, Nederlandse bedrijven outsourcen hun diensten naar het buitenland of nemen zelf buitenlandse bedrijven over. Het is dus heel waarschijnlijk dat (toekomstige) professionals aan de slag gaan in interculturele teams. Als voorbereiding hierop is het ontwikkelen van interculturele competenties van essentieel belang.Effectief samenwerken in interculturele teams begint met uitleg van het begrip 'cultuur'. Daarna worden de vier belangrijkste theorieën over culturele verschillen besproken en kritisch tegen het licht gehouden. Vervolgens beschrijven de auteurs een model dat deze theorieën integreert. De laatste hoofdstukken zijn praktisch van aard en bespreken de verschillende aspecten van intercultureel teamwork en het positief benutten van culturele verschillen. De tekst komt tot leven door de reflectievragen en de vele voorbeelden uit het internationale bedrijfsleven.Dit boek is bedoeld voor hbo-opleidingen waarvan de studenten in interculturele teams komen te werken, zoals economie, communicatie, toerisme, ICT en techniek. Het is ook geschikt voor professionals.Voor docenten is er extra materiaal beschikbaar in de vorm van casuïstiek, rollenspellen en de antwoorden bij de opdrachten uit het boek.Bron : http://www.epo.be
