1 Bryson, Anna
Routledge guide to interviewing : oral history, social
enquiry and investigation / Anna Bryson and Sean
McConville.-- London: Routledge, 2014.
159p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415710756.
001.433 BRY 140491
Anna Bryson and Sean McConville-s wide interviewing
experience has been condensed into this book. The
material set out here has been acquired by trial, error
and reflection over a period of more than four decades.
The interviewees have ranged from the delightfully
straightforward to the painfully difficult to the near
impossible - with a sprinkling of those that were
impossible. Successful interviewing draws on the survival
skills of everyday life. This guide will help you to
adapt, develop and apply these innate skills. Including a
range of useful information such as sample waivers,
internet resources, useful hints and checklists, it
provides sound and plain-speaking support for the oral
historian, social scientist and investigator.

ISBN : 9781107689343.
155 BAT 140490
What role does playful behavior and playful thought take
in animal and human development? How does play relate to
creativity and, in turn, to innovation? Unravelling the
different meanings of -play-, this book focuses on non-
aggressive playful play. The authors emphasise its
significance for development and evolution, before
examining the importance of playfulness in creativity.
This discussion sheds new light on the links between
creativity and innovation, distinguishing between the
generation of novel behaviour and ideas on the one hand,
and the implementation of these novelties on the other.

Grounded firmly in the post-Cold War era, Nikolas K.
Gvosdev and Christopher Marsh-s Russian Foreign Policy:
Interests, Vectors, and Sectors covers not only
contemporary Russian policies towards the various regions
of the world, but also looks at the interactions between
the various constituencies that shape and influence
Russian foreign policy. This framework of looking at the
sectors within each vector is an effective and
comprehensive way for students to learn Russian foreign
policy. While providing important historical context and
exposure to the scholarly literature, the authors cover
each vector, from the United States, to Eastern and
Western Europe, to East Asia, China, and South Asia, to
the BRICS.

Examining the underlying logic of the strategic and
economic partnership between the Republic of Korea and
India, this book is the detailed study of the numerous
facets-cultural, economic, people-to-people, and
strategic of blossoming relations between two major Asian
democracies. This survey documents the interaction
between the two governments, relying on facts and
hitherto unpublished original records provided by India-s
Ministry of External Affairs, offers an illuminating
account of India-s active role as a neutral party in the
post-Second World War events of the Korean War and the
division of the Korean Peninsula, and provides a vision
of the future direction of India-Korea relations. The
author also shares candid observations of Korean society
and its people during his service as Ambassador of India
in Seoul.

xiv, 127p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780415681070.
330.951 WAN 140605
This book presents an analytical framework to demystify
China-s economic growth miracle. The book suggests that
interlinked and relational contracts between the agents
(in particular, between the state and the business) can
compensate for flawed markets to achieve high growth.
This kind of relational capitalism is significant in the
investment-based stage of development, when mobilization
of resources to exploit the existing technologies is the
key for growth. The book presents a general theory of
interlinked relational contract, the workhorse model of
the book.

ISBN : 9781137287724.
335.412 POL 140602
In this book, Michal Polak attempts to move beyond the
austerity of the two-class model to come closer to the
empirical realities. In the process, the author re-
examines the very foundations of the Marxist theory,
demonstrating how an important critique of the theory can
in fact be fruitfully interpreted as a generalization of
it. While remaining true to the Marxian spirit, he comes
up with original and innovative extensions of the
traditional concepts, which finally allow for the
explanation of the diverse class map of the advance
capitalist societies.

This book looks at jobs as drivers of development, not as
derived labor demand, and considers all types of jobs,
not just formal wage employment. The Report provides a
framework that cuts across sectors and shows that the
best policy responses vary across countries, depending on
their levels of development, endowments, demography, and
institutions. Policy fundamentals matter in all cases, as
they enable a vibrant private sector, the source of most
jobs in the world. Labor policies can help as well, even
if they are less critical than is often assumed.
Development policies, from making smallholder farming
viable to fostering functional cities to engaging in
global markets, hold the key to success.

x, 247p. 22cm.
ISBN : 9781137333872.
338.9001 SCH 140538
This book focuses on the relation between technology and
institutions and their mutual influence during processes
of development and change. An understanding of technology
as a combination of skill and equipment jointly with the
influence of the institutional framework allows
identifying a number of potentially adverse influences on
the development potential and capacity in an economy.
These are integrated as the isolation of single factors
will not permit to formulate a generalized perspective on
development processes. The possibility of differing
institutional environments and differing technological
capacities likely result in conditions that require
context-dependent approaches for strengthening the
development potential in a given situation. The
development process Argentina has undergone since 1946 is
used to illustrate how institutions and technology
interact .

Igor Primoratz seeks to overcome relativism and double
standards that often plague debates about terrorism. He
investigates the main ethical approaches to terrorism: in
terms of its consequences, rights and justice, supreme
emergency, and the collective responsibility of citizens.
The book provides a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of
a range of moral positions, from the acceptance of
terrorism when its consequences are good on balance to
its absolute rejection. Primoratz argues that terrorism
is almost absolutely wrong. It may be morally justified
only when an entire people is facing a true moral
disaster, and this should be understood in a highly
restrictive way.

form their organizational cultures and create values,
which in turn may create enhanced performance of the
organization. We can call this interrelationship between
culture and performance as the company citizenship. This
company citizenship can be transmitted from one part of
the globe to another through the transmission of its
corporate management and operations management system as
a strategy of a multinational company.

The Power of Customer Misbehavior explores the importance
of customer driven innovation for top line and bottom
line growth. It shows how companies should not only learn
to identify how their products are being misused, but
also how to use this knowledge to innovate new products
and services that better meet customer needs and promote
viral growth. These techniques also promote long-term
customer loyalty and growth even in hypercompetitive
environments.

The black shiny door of 10 Downing Street is perhaps the
best known entrance in Britain, possibly even in the
world. Yet how many people know what really lurks on the
other side of that famous exterior, or indeed, who built
it? In this exclusive new book, Dr Anthony Seldon tells
us the history behind Number 10, from its construction in
the seventeenth century through to the house as it stands
today. He evaluates the contribution of each of the prime
ministers and their families on the appearance and the
workings of the house, and looks at the way it has been
used for both professional and family purposes over the
years.

The book reveals the interconnection between social,
cultural and political protest movements and social and
economic changes in a post-communist country like Russia
still dominated by bureaucratic rulers and "oligarchs"
controlling all basic industries and mining activities.
Those interests are also dominating Russia s foreign
policy and explain why Russia did not succeed in becoming
an integral part of Europe. The latter is, at least,
wished by many Russian citizens.

The Nellie Massacre of 1983 is an attempt to search for
clues from the narratives of attackers and survivors of
the incident, which are fragmented and sometimes
contradictory to each other. The key focus of the book is
on the local decision-making processes of the riot agents
in deciding to use collective violence against another
group/community/ethnicity especially in the context of
rural India.
