This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively describes the impact of modern technologies on political leadership by providing a new paradigm of the phenomenon of neo-leadership, that is political leadership oriented on creating both the image and political influence on the Internet. It examines its functioning in the new media environment and identifies the most important transforming trends, taking into account their impact on political and social relations in an era of dynamic technological development. Systematically exploring various dimensions of leadership, it presents new notions relevant in a networked world where leaders are created and conduct themselves against the backdrop of a technological revolution, including the development of AI, automation, algorithms and ultrafast networks, all of which strengthen or disrupt their impact and create a new set of virtual authorities exerting an increasing impact on society, ethical considerations and political life and requiring new methods for study. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of leadership and elite studies, media and communication studies, political marketing, political science, international relations; public policy, and sociology.

Download or read book Handbook of Compliance Integrity Management written by Prof. S.C. Bleker-van Eyk and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is the first resource to provide a scientific analysis of the nature of compliance. It examines the subject from such crucial and varied perspectives as ethics, behavioral science, risk management, accounting, and European and international law. Much more than a critical approach to the existing practice of supervision, it provides a wealth of information, guidance, and valuable insights for the day-to-day work of compliance officers. With chapters contributed by lecturers of VU University Amsterdam’s flourishing post-doctoral Executive Master Program in Compliance and Integrity Management – which fosters alternatives such as greater trust in self-regulation and market discipline – the book explores such aspects of compliance and integrity management as the following: • monitoring risk compliance and integrity; • stakeholder and reputation management; • conflicts of interest; • anti-bribery; • export controls; • extraterritorial jurisdiction of U.S. legislation; • fraud; • duty of care; • market abuse; • privacy; and • competition. The analysis throughout is supported by a comprehensive study of the literature concerning the raison d'être of supervision and regulation. Meeting the need for an in-depth analysis of the expanding field of compliance and integrity management, this book is a milestone in a field that is rapidly growing in importance across a wide spectrum of business and professional activity. It will prove an essential practical resource for company or institutional officers worldwide in setting up a compliance function in their organization. Well known as a consultant in compliance-related matters, Sylvie C. Bleker-van Eyk is currently Senior Director at PricewaterhouseCoopers Forensic Services, Chair of the Supervisory Committee on Monitoring Anti–Money Laundering Policy at WODC, the Research and Documentation Centre of the Netherlands Ministry of Security and Justice, and Professor and Program Director of Postgraduate Education in Compliance and Integrity Management at VU University Amsterdam. Raf A. M. Houben is Head of Compliance and Security at HDI Global SE–The Netherlands in Rotterdam, and program coordinator and lecturer at the same Postgraduate Education in Amsterdam.

Download or read book Knowledge Democracy written by Roel in 't Veld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge democracy is an emerging concept that addresses the relationships between knowledge production and dissemination, as well as the functions of the media and democratic institutions. Although democracy has been the most successful concept of governance for societies for the last two centuries, representative democracy, which became the hallmark of advanced nation-states, seems to be in decline. Media politics is an important factor in the downfall of the original meaning of representation, yet more direct forms of democracy have not yet found an institutional embedding. Further, the Internet has also drastically changed the rules of the game, and a better educated public has broad access to information, selects for itself which types to examine, and ignores media filters. Some citizens have even become "media" themselves. In a time where the political agendas are filled with combatting so-called evils, new designs for the relationships between science, politics and media are needed. This book outlines the challenges entailed in pursuing a vital knowledge democracy.

Book excerpt: There was no Reichstag fire. No storming of the Bastille. No mutiny on the Aurora. Instead, the mediocre have seized power without firing a single shot. They rose to power on the tide of an economy where workers produce assembly-line meals without knowing how to cook at home, give customers instructions over the phone that they themselves don’t understand, or sell books and newspapers that they never read. Canadian intellectual juggernaut Alain Deneault has taken on all kinds of evildoers: mining companies, tax-dodgers, and corporate criminals. Now he takes on the most menacing threat of all: the mediocre.

Book excerpt: Realignment: The Theory that Changed the Way We Think About American Politics tells the dramatic story of how a new approach to American politics emerged in the afternmath of Harry Truman's stunning 1948 election upset victory. This approach realignment theory held that critical elections such as those of the Civil War era, the 1890's, and the 1930's shaped politics for decades to come. Theodore Rosenof details how realignment theory emerged as the predominant explanation of electoral change and how, after decades of analysis, it remains a subject of continuing influence and controversy. The first history of this important theory, Realignment weaves history and political science into a compelling look at American elections."

Book excerpt: This guide for adults working with adolescent girls will help them explore and develop their emotional, social, and spiritual selves.

The curriculum comprises of four themes surrounding self–awareness, empathy and communication skills, social engagement, and transpersonal exploration. Incorporates drawing, writing, music, media, role–playing, storytelling, and deeply penetrating interactive activities to help incite self–discovery, enhance relationships, and connect girls to a cause, principal, or source greater then themselves. Jackson’s guide offers teenage girls a unique opportunity to engage with their changing selves and their environment from a deeply soulful and creative place.

Download or read book Infocracy written by Byung-Chul Han and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tsunami of information unleashed by digitization is threatening to overwhelm us, drowning us in a sea of frenzied communication and disrupting many spheres of social life, including politics. Election campaigns are now being waged as information wars with bots and troll armies, and democracy is degenerating into infocracy. In this new book, Byung-Chul Han argues that infocracy is the new form of rule characteristic of contemporary information capitalism. Whereas the disciplinary regime of industrial capitalism worked with compulsion and repression, this new information regime exploits freedom instead of repressing it. Surveillance and punishment give way to motivation and optimization: we imagine that we are free, but in reality our entire lives are recorded so that our behaviour might be psychopolitically controlled. Under the neoliberal information regime, mechanisms of power function not because people are aware of the fact of constant surveillance but because they perceive themselves to be free. This trenchant critique of politics in the information age will be of great interest to students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences and to anyone concerned about the fate of politics in our time.

Download or read book Social Theory For A Changing Society written by Pierre Bourdieu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is in modem society a structural change that underlies many of the social changes with which the conference was concerned. My argument here will be that this is a qualitative change in the way society is organized, a change with many implications. I will call this a change from primordial and spontaneous social organization to constructed social organization (see Coleman 1990, Chapters 2, 3, and 24 for an extended examination of this change). The common definitions of these terms contain some hint of what I mean, but I will describe the change more fully to ensure that it is clearly understood. By primordial social organization I mean social organization that has its origins in the relationships established by childbirth. Not all these relations are activated in all cultures, but some subset of these relations forms the basis for all primitive and traditional social organization. From these relations, more complex structures unfold. For example, from these relations come families; from families come clans; from clans, villages; and from villages, tribes, ethnicities, or societies."
