Abstract

"This book offers a fresh look at the so-called "politicisation" of the European countryside, from the late eighteenth century to the 1930s, in the context of waning monarchies, rising and staggering parliamentary nation states, and fascist and communist dictatorships. The concept "politicisation", however, is misleading. The book argues that Europe's rural societies were far from immobile spaces, set in routines, that had to be politised from outside and against the grain. The thirteen articles in the volume demonstrate that, instead of politicisation from scratch, political thinking and acting of country dwellers - from Scandinavia to Spain, from Moravia to France - evolved in a constant, dialectical relationship with their urban, regional and national surroundings: they reacted to wars, revolutions and shifting borders, their political loyalties changed, so did their political agendas, their repertoires of collective action and their role in the establishment, successes and failures of political parties, separate agrarian parties included."-- Provided by vendor.

Abstract

Gabriela Polit Dueñas analyzes the work of five narrative journalists from three countries. Marcela Turati, Daniela Rea, and Sandra Rodriguez from Mexico, Patricia Nieto from Colombia, and María Eugenia Ludueña from Argentina produce compelling literary works, but also work under dangerous, intense conditions. What drives and shapes their stories are their affective responses to the events and people they cover. The book offers an insightful analysis of the emotional challenges, the stress and traumatic conditions journalists face when reporting on the region's most pressing problems. It combines ethnographic observations of the journalists' work, textual analysis, and a theoretical reflection on the ethical dilemmas journalists confront on a daily basis. Unwanted Witnesses puts forward a necessary discussion about the place contemporary journalists occupy in the field of production, and how the risks they run speak directly about the limits of our democracies.

Abstract

"Few understand the intricacies of the global supply chain system; it is usually so efficient and reliable that nobody really needs to understand it. Consumers show up to the supermarket and the shelves are stocked with food and other essentials, or they do their one-click shopping errands online and the goods arrive on their doorsteps the next day; that is, until they don't. When the COVID-19 pandemic led to a global economic "shutdown" in March 2020, our supply chains began to fail, and out-of-stocks and delivery delays became the new norm. Contrary to public perception, the pandemic strain did not break the discipline of supply chain writ large, nor the global system of supply chains; it merely exposed weaknesses and fault lines that were decades in the making, having made their presence acutely felt in deindustrialized cities and depopulated rural towns throughout the United States. Reinventing Supply Chain explores the historical role of supply chain as a discipline, from the Second Industrial Revolution through globalization, and outlines what needs to be done to fix it and how a retooled supply chain can lead to the revitalization of American communities. Jack Buffington, a supply chain professional, consultant, and professor, demystifies for lay readers not only how modern supply chains work, but also how they can once again be a force for good. Taking the long view, Buffington proposes the transformation of the global supply chain system into a community-based value chain, led by the communities themselves and driven by digital platforms for raising capital and blockchain technology. Buffington's vision for a sustainable value chain of the future is already part of a larger, nationwide conversation-a conversation that is steadily gaining steam. The discipline of supply chain has been the subject of more business magazine cover stories in 2020-21 than at any time in the past; senior executives have come to view their supply chains as a strategic capability rather than a cost center, and they are investing in them more heavily than in the past. Supply chain managers now provide input to most strategic decisions at retailers and consumer goods manufacturers. Whether or not Buffington's vision can be achieved by a certain date is less important than that we understand what we need to do, and Buffington is our guide"--

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide a critical presentation and some extensions of two perspectives of informational efficiency: On the one hand the neoclassical perspective or «arithmomorphic approach» explains efficiency in terms of a concept mainly based on an explicit economic theory. On the other hand, in the Austrian perspective or «causal genetic approach» attention is drawn to the entrepreneurial element of human decision making related to an arbitrage theory of profit which is not traced back to anonymous market forces but rather to incessant discovery of information guided by entrepreneurial alertness.
