Contributors examine the pedagogical, ethical, and political stakes of teaching terrorism and security from critical perspectives. Through a range of innovative approaches-including visual and creative methods, the use of technology to interrogate power structures, and the incorporation of videogames and playful tools-chapters demonstrate how to actively reframe the study of political violence. Grounded in real-world examples, the book also reflects on the future of teaching in an era of AI and digitalisation, arguing that meaningful transformation depends less on the tools we adopt than on the pedagogical commitments that shape their use.

Teaching Terrorism and Counterterrorism is an essential resource for instructors of terrorism, counter-terrorism, and security studies. It will also appeal to scholars and students in international relations, security studies, and public policy seeking fresh, practical ways to teach complex and sensitive topics.

Embracing Complexity: A Critical Approach to Efficacy and Manualised Practices in Psychotherapy considers the implications for psychotherapeutic practice and research when these are required to demonstrate 'efficacy' through repeatable models and manualised practices. This book discusses how manualised treatments impact the therapist and their practice with clients, challenging the notion that measuring and repeating manualised psychotherapeutic practice always moves toward best practice.

It considers the growth of manualised interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which have undergone rapid expansion and implementation in recent decades and are often regarded as the gold standard of measurable, evidence-based treatment. However, manualised practices may be critiqued as reductive and failing to incorporate the complexities of the self as a whole into the therapeutic relationship, instead over-relying on the reduction of symptoms relating to one diagnosis. This book considers whether standardisation in psychotherapeutic research and practice can sacrifice key therapeutic and relational elements in the name of conformity and how training and standardisation can monopolise the psychotherapeutic space. Adopting a critical psychological approach, this book explores the current situation in psychology, showcases the voice of different practitioners, and explores what is gained and what is lost through the increasing adoption of manualised therapies.

By pointing out alternative paths for therapists that emerge from a fuller and unfiltered understanding of the psychotherapeutic space, this book will be of great interest to students and researchers in the areas of psychotherapy, critical psychology, and phenomenological studies, and to mental health professionals and trainees.

This book's central thesis is that notions of monstrosity and geographic marginality were central to the formation of an English identity in the Middle Ages. Medieval Christian theologians believed that geography was divinely ordered, so their perception of Britain as being in the monstrous periphery of the world caused anxiety among its inhabitants that we can see expressed across media and genres.

Medieval cartography, for centuries scorned as crude, is now the subject of numerous careful studies; monsters, likewise long ignored in scholarship, are now of great interest. This book sits at the crossroads of these two discourses (critical cartography and monster studies), treated separately in most scholarship. Nearly twenty years after its initial publication, Maps and Monsters in Medieval England remains the only extended study of the role of monsters on medieval maps and of the ways that ideas about geography shaped the role of monsters in other contexts, where they were marshaled as part of an ongoing effort to define what it meant to be human, English, and Christian.

This volume is intended for professional scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates. Translations are provided for all Latin and Old English texts to render the volume accessible to a wider range of readers.

This book provides a new perspective on the history of the United States from the eighteenth to early twenty-first century. It brings together 15 chapters that engage with the changing contour of the United States, its changing political culture, and its internal and international politics, and provides a critique of its democracy. It focuses on marginalized social groups - indigenous tribes, indentured labor, slaves, and immigrants - to understand their role and contributions in the making of the United States. The book examines gender roles, class, race, ethnicity and the movements for rights that heralded the beginning of a new political agenda, viz. the mobilization of African-Americans, the Civil Rights Movement, the Feminist Movement, and New Environmentalism. It also adds to the discussion on major phases of Black history -enslavement, bondage and emancipation, sharecropping and tenancy, and the initiation of the Black Movement, led and influenced by the political ideology of its leaders and institutions like Booker T. Washington, WEB Dubois, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, and the NAACP.

Providing an in-depth study and critique of American capitalism and imperialism and its impact on the global environment, the book will be of interest to academics, university teachers and students seeking new methodologies of teaching-learning and pedagogical strategies, and readers keen to delve into the history of the United States.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming communication and media sectors around the world, but much of the global academic literature on this remains Western-centric.

Nigerian Media's Artificial Intelligence Revolution provides an in-depth, multi-sectoral analysis of AI’s influence on Nigerian media and communication ecosystems, bridging the gap between global AI discourse and localised realities. AI technologies are already reshaping Nigerian journalism, public relations, advertising, marketing, media education, and youth-driven entrepreneurship. Motivated by the rapid, uneven, and often ethically complex integration of AI in professional practice and pedagogy, this book provides an indigenous, empirically grounded, and forward-looking account of what is happening on the ground. It first investigates the field of journalism, then public relations, advertising, and marketing, before concluding with reflections on media education, assessing curriculum design, AI literacy, and the preservation of indigenous knowledge systems through AI-assisted language translation. Across these sections, the central objective is to highlight the ethical, educational, professional, and entrepreneurial implications of AI integration in a rapidly digitising African society. Going beyond critique to provide actionable strategies for curriculum development and ethical adaptation, this book argues that Nigerian institutions can lead, and not just follow, in AI transformation.

Nigerian Media's Artificial Intelligence Revolution will be an important read for researchers working on media, communication, and education, both in Nigeria and in Africa more broadly.

This volume explores how E.J. Lowe's metaphysics relates to various issues in philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion.

Lowe's views on ontological issues have direct implications for issues in philosophical theology as well as philosophy of religion. Lowe's work is systematic in nature, and he built an extremely sophisticated ontological system in The Four-Category Ontology. The chapters in this volume are concerned with the centrality of having a proper ontology for our understanding of the core issues in philosophical theology. This means that we need to engage in ground-level debates about the ontology of theological issues. The chapters explore topics such as the existence of God, divine causality, divine presence, divine action, divine temporality, dualism, and Christology.

E.J. Lowe's Metaphysics and Philosophical Theology will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and philosophical theology.

Pluralism and Progress in Economics analyzes the dynamics of growth research by introducing the concept of research routines - meso-level patterns of communal practice functionally coordinated by symbolic representations.

This book tracks the development of neoclassical growth theory through four distinct stages: exploration, extension, elaboration, and exploitation. It argues that scientific change in growth research is a processual development driven by diaphoric learning, where a community of researchers creatively uses existing conceptual tools to grasp previously unrecognized causal dependencies in data. This book further evaluates the conceptions of scientific progress, identifying the limitations of conventional criteria in distinguishing genuine advancement in economics from analytical "game-playing." Pawel Kawalec proposes an ontic criterion of intensive progress, which validates an emergent research routine based on its isolation of ontologically novel causal structures. By distinguishing between derivational and ontological unification, and drawing on Robert Solow's criteria of model choice, this book defends progressive pluralism and piecemeal realism. It concludes that the coexistence of diverse models is not a sign of relativism but a mature response to the world's ontic complexity, providing a robust "library of models" essential for contextualized economic applications.

This book will be of interest to experts and graduate students specializing in economic growth models, the history of twentieth-century economics, the history and philosophy of science, and science and technology studies.

This textbook explores the meaning of good governance and sustainable development in the present-day context of a growing planetary crisis, socio-economic polarisation, and politicisation of knowledge.

Part 1 sets the stage by exploring theories of power, network governance, and global governance. Meri Juntti contrasts prevalent and emerging framings to arrive at a definition of sustainable development as a transformation encompassing the economic system, societal values, and the relationship of humanity with nature, and identifies distinct approaches and solutions for advancing this. Part 2 delves into the twin global issues of climate change and food security. Their drivers and manifestations are examined in detail and a range of governance responses - from global strategies and policies through to local-level case studies - are explored in the light of earlier theorisations. Part 3 focuses on lessons for good governance and sets out five key challenges that governance for sustainable development needs to negotiate, as well as the four principles that are central to its success. A concluding chapter considers what good governance for sustainable development could mean in practice.

Balancing theory with real-world examples, and featuring learning outcomes, further reading, and links to relevant media content, Governing for Sustainable Development will be a highly valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of sustainable development, geography, public policy, politics, and international relations.

Over the past three decades, Central and Eastern Europe has experienced rapid economic transformation, accelerated by accession to the European Union and deeper integration into global financial markets. While improved access to credit has supported rising living standards, it has also increased households' exposure to financial fragility when economic shocks occur.

This book investigates the financial fragility of households in the region, offering new insights into how households cope with economic shocks and structural change. Despite shared experience of post-socialist transformation, Central and Eastern European countries display significant economic, social, and institutional diversity. This raises important questions: Do households across the region differ in their levels of financial fragility? Which socio-demographic groups are most vulnerable? What factors shape household resilience to economic shocks?

Combining conceptual discussion with comparative empirical analysis, the book examines the determinants and dynamics of household financial fragility across the region. It explores changes in household financial conditions - including consumption patterns, debt dynamics, savings behaviour, and subjective financial well-being - and identifies cross-country differences in vulnerability using comparative and cluster-based approaches. The analysis also discusses how external shocks, including the global financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic, have shaped household financial stability. By linking structural transformation, institutional context, and household-level outcomes, the book fills an important gap in the literature and offers new insights into the challenges of strengthening household resilience in the face of economic shocks.

This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, and students in economics, finance, consumer economics, and European studies who seek a deeper understanding of household financial fragility in Central and Eastern Europe.

In an era where evidence-based policymaking defines the credibility of governance, Value of Statistical Life in India offers a landmark contribution to the economics of risk, labour welfare, and regulatory design. This ground-breaking volume presents one of the most rigorous empirical estimations of the Value of Statistical Life (VSL) in the Indian context, addressing a critical gap in public policy analytics.

Focusing on occupational risks within India's manufacturing sector-particularly in Gujarat- the book systematically examines compensating wage differentials (CWD), insurance mechanisms, and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) frameworks. Through advanced econometric modelling and a global meta-analysis using mixed-effects regression techniques, the authors situate Indian VSL estimates within international standards, aligning domestic policy discourse with practices in developed economies such as the United States.

Transcending descriptive analysis, the book offers a robust analytical foundation for cost-benefit evaluation, regulatory impact assessment, environmental risk governance, and labour protection reforms. By advocating the institutional adoption of VSL as a cornerstone of policy appraisal, it provides a transformative framework for integrating economic valuation into safety and health legislation.

Scholarly, in depth and strategic in relevance, this volume is indispensable for academics, policymakers, multilateral agencies, and regulatory authorities committed to strengthening risk governance and advancing labour welfare in emerging economies.

This book explores how HR technologies may mitigate the negative impacts of work-family conflicts on work engagement, a topic of increasing relevance in the digital era.

Acknowledging the changes in gender stereotypes and its impact on work engagement, this book undertakes systematic literature reviews on gender stereotypes, work-family conflicts, work engagement, and disruptive HR technologies to identify gaps in existing Human Resource Management research. Grounding on the theories such as social role theory, role-conflict theory, and the job-demand resource mode, Priyashantha surveys over 600 Sri Lankan private sector executives and shows that changing gender stereotypes both enhance work engagement and intensify work-family conflict; while the perceived desirability of disruptive HR technologies raises engagement, it can amplify the negative impact of work-family conflict on work engagement when not matched by credible implementation. Practical implications of the research for organizations and HR practitioners are also discussed.

This book is of interest to scholars of human resource management and organizational behaviour.

The book explores pilgrimage events and annual mass gatherings such as the Maha Kumbh Fair, Hajj, Lourdes, and Kartarpur, conceptualising pilgrimage tourism; its growing significance; social, cultural, and economic benefits; environmental impact; and sustainable development.

It offers valuable insights by capturing mythology underlying the mass pilgrimage, crowd dynamics, supply chain logistics, and environmental and community resilience and fostering local entrepreneurship development and stakeholders' public-private partnerships (PPPs).

It will also be valuable for government departments, international organisations, and practitioners including religious organisations, tour operators, hospitality providers, and event management stakeholders.

This book examines how AI in employment can lead to sex discrimination and sets out a legal response through analysis and reform.

The risk of sex discrimination in employment is being driven by the increasing use of artificial intelligence. While AI promises efficiency and economic value, its application in employment decision-making, from job advertising to recruitment and performance evaluations, can unintentionally perpetuate or even exacerbate existing sex discrimination. This book examines how AI across the employment lifecycle contributes to sex discrimination and assesses whether current UK legal frameworks are sufficient to address this emerging risk. It provides a detailed analysis of the Equality Act 2010 and data protection law. Drawing on comparative insights from EU and US law, the book proposes comprehensive legal reforms to both regulatory frameworks and substantive law, with the aim of ensuring that AI technologies promote fairness, equality, and transparency in employment.

The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of discrimination law, data protection law, employment law, and artificial intelligence.

This collection of specially commissioned essays provides the first incisive collaborative intervention to ongoing debates about law and politics under capitalism from an explicitly socialist constitutionalist perspective.

Heterodox literature on constitutional studies, to a large extent and with a few notable exceptions, shares a rejection of Marxist analytical principles. Moving beyond the formalism and instrumentalism, this volume will engage with the question: what differentiates a Marxist conception of socialist constitutionalism and the role of institutional forms in building socialism, from republican and post-Marxist conceptions? Drawing inspiration from socialist thinkers and historical attempts to build socialism, the contributors explain the relevance of socialist conceptions of democracy and rights for contemporary struggles for social emancipation. They combine historical and theoretical analyses to review socialist constitutional theory and practice, while thinking about the future of democracy and rights in a communist polity. The contributions deal with a variety of topical issues, including the relationship between state, law, and society; the relationship between constitutional law and revolutionary social change; right as legal superstructure and right as a form of social consciousness; the ethical grounds of communism; socialist conceptions of right; and principles for a socialist constitutionalism.

Consolidating Marxist approaches to public law and constitutional theory, Socialist Constitutionalism and the Communist Polity offers both a rigorous contribution to the elaboration of Marxist theory and a re-examination of foundational constitutional concepts, questions, and debates that will help to orient non-specialist readers

This book provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the legal liability and compensation frameworks governing accidental oil pollution in the Arctic Ocean, addressing both ship-source spills and pollution from offshore installations.

As climate change transforms the Arctic into an increasingly accessible maritime and hydrocarbon frontier, existing liability regimes face unprecedented stress. Extreme cold, dynamic sea ice, remoteness, and limited response capacity disrupt the evidentiary and operational assumptions on which international and domestic oil pollution systems were built. Drawing on scientific analysis of oil behavior in ice-covered waters, the book demonstrates how Arctic conditions complicate detection, causation, compensation, and enforcement. Through a comparative assessment of the CLC/Fund regime, the US Oil Pollution Act (OPA), and the fragmented offshore liability landscape, it reveals structural gaps in the global legal order. The Arctic emerges as a stress test for liability systems, exposing their conceptual and practical limits in volatile environments.

This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in maritime law, Arctic governance, environmental law, and energy regulation, as well as policymakers involved in Arctic and offshore governance.

It will be indispensable for students and academics seeking cutting-edge research; legal professionals navigating evolving regulatory landscapes; policymakers crafting effective sustainability frameworks; environmental activists pursuing systemic change; and corporate leaders implementing ESG compliance strategies.

This book expands knowledge of the rhetorical levers at play in the use of narratives in political discourse, whether through "traditional" speeches or digital communication.

By providing a clear methodology that applies to both communication styles, through a systematic, critical, and multimodal perspective, the book explains why decoding narratives in political discourse is relevant, particularly in a democratic context where non-coercive persuasion is a prerequisite of political communication. Drawing from the works of recognised scholars in the fields of narratology and multimodality, with illustrated examples and detailed case studies from the democratic Western world, it highlights the relevance of digital communication and multimodality to fully comprehend modern political communication.

This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political communication, discourse studies, linguistics, and more broadly to those who analyse and decipher political messages, political science, communication studies, and sociology.

Banal Fascism Online: Weaponizing the "Everyday" for Extreme Ends offers a novel lens through which to research, conceptualize, and understand fascism and its place in today's political culture. It allows space for its authors to explore fascism as it exists in the digital world, outside the rigid boundaries of historically recognized fascist states.

The digital seeps into every avenue of the political and social, and thus offers a useful framing for analyzing the inherent banality of fascism. Specifically, this edited volume considers the different ways the digital world supports and structures our political and social identities: How do social media and online fora create spaces for extremist values that are perceived as mundane? What technological affordances provide fascist thought leaders access to - and influence over - various audiences? Which platforms offer the most comprehensive opportunities for anti-democratic political strategizing? As the United States and much of Europe continue to see their democratic institutions come under attack by rising fascist and authoritarian movements, this volume provides an indispensable examination of the ways fascism has not only increased in its mainstreaming and palatability, but also how it has always been integral to our societies. This groundbreaking framework and the chapters evidencing its utility offer a tangible means of identifying and ultimately combating fascist structures.

As a result of the strategic deployment of banal fascism across the globe, this volume will appeal to academics, students, politicians, journalists, and anyone concerned about the precarity of liberal democracy and its potential replacement with, at best, illiberal democracy and, at worst, fascism.

This book is intended for undergraduates and postgraduate researchers, as well as those working in geography, geology, sociology, environmental science, public policy, and disaster management. It will also appeal to trainees of administrative jobs, planners, and practitioners working on addressing environmental challenges and policy implementation.

Politics of Feminist New Materialisms at Music Playschools: Musicking in the Middle examines how feminist new materialist politics unfold within diverse music playschool practices in Finland.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork across five distinct groups - including sessions for babies, asylum seekers, deaf and hard-of-hearing children, and children with disabilities - the book explores how affirmative politics intersect with restrictive forces of power. By analysing the simultaneity of limiting and empowering forces of power, it situates feminist new materialisms within ongoing conversations about intersectionalities, their dynamic transformations and mutual impact of human and more-than-human elements in the formation of differences. The study discusses the concepts of the middle and middling as methodological and political tools by attuning to human languages, movement, silence, vibrations, and rhythms within musical encounters.

Politics of Feminist New Materialisms at Music Playschools: Musicking in the Middle is of interest for scholars and students in feminist theory, gender studies, new materialisms, (ethno)musicology, ethnographic methods, childhood studies, and early music education.

Bringing CBT Supervision to Life provides supervisors of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with an invaluable resource for reflecting on their current supervisory style and methods and developing their repertoire of skills in this area.

Research suggests that routine supervision practices over-rely on verbal case discussion, and this can limit opportunities for more active and experiential methods such as role-play, chair work or self-practice of CBT methods that deepen therapist understanding of theory and practice. This book explains why supervision needs to be a more active experience as well as how to do this. It provides readers with specific chapters dedicated to different experiential methods and explains the rationale and benefits of utilising each. Case studies are used throughout to help illustrate the challenges for CBT supervisors, and each chapter contains handouts and worksheets to use with supervisees. The author draws upon their experience of researching supervision and providing extensive supervision and supervisor training to create a resource that supervisors of any level of expertise can dip into when looking to freshen up their skills.

The book is primarily aimed at practitioners who provide supervision or supervision of supervision for CBT therapists and trainees. It will be an accessible resource for both new and experienced supervisors in healthcare, education and private practice.

This book showcases the experiences and perspectives of instructors and researchers who are pioneering sustainable finance research and education.

Sustainable finance broadly defined refers to the integration of sustainability issues within financial practices. Given the urgency of funding sustainable development, meeting new regulatory agendas, and navigating the increasing politicization of sustainable finance, demands for immediate sustainable finance expertise and training have grown. Yet, the pedagogical implications of increasing scholarly and practitioner interest in sustainable finance have been largely neglected. Filling this gap, Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance examines how curriculums can be redesigned to accommodate sustainable finance education. It discusses the specific skills, tools, and theoretical insights that constitute an emerging sustainable finance "corpus" and provides critical perspectives on the field. Each chapter engages with the different strategies, theoretical frameworks, pedagogical tools, and learning objectives informed by the authors’ own teaching practice or by their research.

Chapters also include cases, suggestions for assignments, and other resources that can support the design of sustainable finance courses and syllabi. Collating insights from a broad range of experts in the field, this book therefore provides theoretical and critical reflections alongside practical insights for faculty and higher education institutions, as well as market, public, and non-profit actors who have been calling for better expertise in sustainable finance.
