Behavioral decision research offers a distinctive
approach to understanding and improving decision making.
It combines theory and method from multiple disciples
(psychology, economics, statistics, decision theory,
management science). It employs both empirical methods,
to study how decisions are actually made, and analytical
ones, to study how decisions should be made and how
consequential imperfections are. It shows the common
elements in a research program that represents the scope
of the field, while offering depth in each.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence surveys
intersections between religion and violence throughout
history and around the world. The forty original essays in
this volume include overviews of major religious
traditions, showing how violence is justified within the
literary and theological foundations of the tradition,
how it is used symbolically and in ritual practice, and
how social acts of violence and warfare have been
justified by religious ideas. The essays also examine
patterns and themes relating to religious violence, such
as sacrifice and martyrdom, which are explored in cross-
disciplinary or regional analyses, and offer major
analytic approaches, from literary to social scientific
studies.

Work is, and always will be, a central institution of
society. What makes a capitalist society unique is that
it treats the human capacity to engage in labor as a
basic commodity. This can be a source of dynamism, as
when innovative firms raise wages to attract the best and
brightest.

ISBN : 9780415610155.
306.701 BUT 137924
In Bodies That Matter, the author argues that theories of
gender need to return to the most material dimension of
sex and sexuality: the body. The author offers a
brilliant reworking of the body, examining how the power
of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies,
sex, and gender. It argues that power operates to
constrain sex from the start, delimiting what counts as a
viable sex. It also clarifies the notion of
"performativity" introduced in gender trouble and via
bold readings of Plato, Irigaray, Lacan, and Freud
explores the meaning of a citational politics.

This book presents the most comprehensive analysis of the
Kerala Model of Social Development .The model has often
been identified as one worth emulating because it is seen
to have taken the state to the zenith of human
development and democratic governance. Using an
interdisciplinary approach, the book sheds new light on
the paradoxes of the Indian state and its model of
economic development. The book provides a consolidated
exploration and critique of the Kerala model, which
usually has been portrayed as linear with the grand
narrative of progress, development and democracy.

issues such as Authority, Equality, and Freedom, and
Democracy, there are articles on less classical topics

Can practices of local level democracy in France and
India as fostered by their local governments be compared?
If contextualised in terms of their respective
geographical expanse intertwined with their political
history, levels of economic development, demographic
attributes and cultural moorings, comparison would, at
best be shallow. But juxtapose them in the context of
their contemporary political developments and a viable
common ground would appear, rendering their seemingly
divergent features irrelevant.

In a unique study of fourteen countries, the author
explores the reasons for the survival of some communist
regimes while others fell. He also shows why the process
of collapse differed among communist-led regimes in
Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Based on the analysis
of the different processes of collapse that has already
taken place, and taking into account the special
characteristics of the remaining communist regimes,
Transitions and Non-Transitions from Communism discusses
the future prospects for the survival of the regimes in
China, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam.

This book argues that analysing India-s foreign and
security policies as representational practices which
produce India-s identity as a postcolonial nation-state
helps to illuminate the conditions of possibility in
which foreign policy is made. The book focuses on key
moments of crisis, such as the India-China war in 1962
and the nuclear tests of 1972 and 1998, and the approach
to international affairs of significant leaders like
Jawaharlal Nehru. The analysis sheds new light on these
key events and figures and develops a strong analytical
narrative around India-s foreign policy behaviour, based
on an understanding of its postcolonial identity.

330.122 DEV 137938
This book explores the connections between the
environmental crisis and the psychological, social,
cultural, political and economic emergencies affecting
modern societies. It identifies the root cause of all
these symptoms of societal breakdown: neoliberalism,
defined as market greed. The author argues that in recent
decades, modern societies have been dominated by a
suicidal economic doctrine based on two articles of
faith: the greed creed and the market God. The greed
creed states that people are nothing but selfish
profiteers in a perpetual search for status and
wealth. The market God is the belief that all societal and
human affairs are best regulated as market exchanges.

The hypothesis of the volume is that the smaller
reduction in poverty has been the result of slower
transformation of the economy from a primarily agrarian
to a modern, industrial one. Even as the GDP share of
agriculture has seen rapid decline, its employment share
has declined very gradually. Against this background, the
nine essays pursue three broad themes using firm level
data in both industry and services. The papers in part I
ask why the transformation in India has been slow in
terms of the movement of workers out of agriculture, into
industry and services, and from informal to formal
employment. Part II analyzes the transformation that
reforms have brought about within and across
enterprises. Part III addresses the manner in which the
reforms have helped promote social transformation.

Explaining the links among development, global
governance, and globalization,this book traces dominant
values and patterns on a world level over the last half
century. This research explores mechanisms by which
prevailing knowledge about global order is implicated in
its deep tensions: chiefly, the impetus for development
and global governance embodies aspirations for attaining
wellbeing and upholding human dignity, yet market- and
state-driven globalization embraces basic ideas inscribed
in power, thus increasing vulnerability and making the
world more insecure. It projects scenarios for future
global order and how to make it work for the have-nots.

Working in a company (Electric Generation) in which the
current demographics will require replacement of 70% of
the workforce over a 5 to 7 year period due to
retirements, it is very clear that in order to stay
competitive in the heavily regulated industry, we must
create a well-defined learning agenda that will transfer
the knowledge of our workers. The book gives insight and
practical management tools to tap into this most valuable
resource.

Proust as Philosopher: The Art of Metaphor try and
connect Proust-s implicit ontology of experience with the
question of style, and of metaphor in particular. It
experiences unexpected bouts of intense elation, the
cause and meaning of which remain elusive. The author
argues we should understand these experiences as acts of
artistic creation, and that this is why Proust himself
wrote that true life is the life of art.

The digital age is affecting all aspects of historical
study, but much of the existing literature about history
in the digital age can be alienating to the traditional
historian who does not necessarily value or wish to
embrace digital resources. History in the Digital Age
takes a more conceptual look at how the digital age is
affecting the field of history for both scholars and
students. The printed copy, the traditional archive, and
analogue research remain key constitute parts for most
historians and for many will remain precious and esteemed
over digital copies, but there is a real need for
historians and students of history to seriously consider
some of the conceptual and methodological challenges
facing the field of historical enquiry as we enter the
twenty-first century.
