 Maya Sherman, "Ethical Governance of Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sector " English | ISBN: 0367618087 | 2021 | 114 pages | EPUB | 250 KB This book argues that ethical evaluation of AI should be an integral part of public service ethics and that an effective normative framework is needed to provide ethical principles and evaluation for decision-making in the public sphere, at both local and international levels.

Giulio M. Gallarotti, "Essays on Evolutions in the Study of Political Power: An Anthology" English | ISBN: 1032060883 | 2021 | 262 pages | EPUB | 1005 KB This book deals with the most important developments in the study of political power over the last four decades. From the writings of the great Greek philosophers of antiquity to the present, the idea of power has been the major subject in the study of politics. Indeed, some would say it defines the very field of politics itself as a social science.  Arthur R. Day, "Escalation And Intervention: Multilateral Security And Its Alternatives" English | ISBN: 036700884X | 2019 | 170 pages | EPUB | 485 KB Since World War II, the international community has tried to insulate, limit, and resolve local conflicts. The generally poor success record has led some to conclude that multilateral organizations have failed in dealing with international conflicts, while others have argued that governments have not used these organizations effectively. Not enough thought, however, has been given to the contributions that can be made to conflict management and resolution through the use of diplomatic, political, military, and economic intervention by multilateral organizations, by unilateral action of national states, and by efforts of states acting in informal concert. This book evaluates the means that have been used to influence the course of six recent disputes, considering the costs and benefits in each case. In a broader context, it examines the relationship of local conflict to international security and considers the dilemma of providing security to small states without compromising their independence. Finally, it assesses the extent to which local wars tend to escalate and threaten the global security system.  Lincoln Allison, "Environmental Planning: A Political and Philosophical Analysis " English | ISBN: 103212430X | 2021 | 130 pages | EPUB | 459 KB Originally published in 1975, this was an entirely new approach to the study of environmental planning and problems. Planning had hitherto been generally described as a technical exercise, involving the solving of biological and economic problems. In Environmental Planning: A Political and Philosophical Analysis it is seen as an ideological activity and the development of planning in Britain and the nature of contemporary environment problems are analysed in terms of social and political theory.  Peter Mulvihill, "Environmental Management: Critical thinking and emerging practices" English | ISBN: 1138899968 | 2016 | 166 pages | EPUB | 691 KB The field of Environmental Management (EM) involves a broad and evolving repertoire of practices. The field originated around 1970 in response to new policy, regulation and public concern about environmental issues. EM has undergone many changes and improvements since then, progressing from a reactive, compliance-based focus toward, in leading cases, practices reflecting strong commitment to sustainability. And yet, EM remains, for the most part, ill-equipped to deal with the complex and highly uncertain implications of the ecological crisis.  Luke Fowler, "Environmental Federalism" English | ISBN: 0367490943 | 2020 | 170 pages | EPUB | 1065 KB In Environmental Federalism, Luke Fowler helps to refocus much-needed attention on the role of state governments in environmental policy creation and implementation in the United States. While the national government receives most of the attention when it comes to environmental policy, state governments play a vital role in protecting our natural resources. Legacy problems, like air, water, and land pollution, present one set of challenges for environmental federalism, but new problems emerging as a result of climate change further test the bounds of federal institutions.
 John Agbonifo, "Environment and Conflict: The Place and Logic of Collective Action in the Niger Delta " English | ISBN: 1409437337 | 2018 | 144 pages | EPUB | 816 KB Environmental degradation is a fast-growing problem that not only threatens to erode future development and undermine economic prosperity, but also victimizes and displaces ordinary peoples and communities in some of the most fragile areas of the world. Often grassroots opposition and mobilization is seen through a secular lens, implying that collective action is merely material and provincial.

Mark Juergensmeyer, "Entering Religious Minds: The Social Study of Worldviews" English | ISBN: 1138603937 | 2019 | 126 pages | EPUB | 891 KB Led by Mona Kanwal Sheikh and Mark Juergensmeyer, nine authors journey into the worlds of unusual, sometimes violent religious groups. Together, these original first-person contributions provide an integrated, problem-solving approach to field research in religious extremism, illustrating ground-breaking methods in gaining access to their subjects' worldviews. In a narrative style that is at once both conversational and rigorous, the book demonstrates for students, researchers, and journalists the relevance of religious studies to political science, sociology, and anthropology. It is particularly well suited to upper-level courses at the intersection of religion and the social sciences. |
