What underpins the legitimacy of the prison system in the twenty-first century? Despite numerous challenges and setbacks, there is still a widespread belief that prisons can be improved in a socially progressive way. Even today, 'model prisons' are being built that seek to fix the shortcomings and failures of their predecessors, as if past failures were due to a lack of imagination, determination, or resources.

The aim of creating model prisons is not new: it dates back to the early nineteenth century. Ranging from England to Switzerland and Spain, from Russia to China and India, Carceral Utopia documents a rich, global history of ambitious efforts to create model prisons - places of confinement initially lauded for their progressive ideals but later revealed as fiascos.

At the end of this journey through time and space, it will not suffice merely to highlight the gap between plans and realities, or even to dispel the illusion that model prisons could not live up to their claims. We need to ask why, despite so many failures, these institutions are still being built today. Might their many obvious shortcomings conceal a covert success?

Explores how Japan navigated its alliance with the United States in the aftermath of 9/11, balancing its pacifist constitution with evolving global security demands through newly revealed diplomatic documents and high-level policy analysis.

After Terrorism offers a groundbreaking analysis of how Japan navigated its alliance with the United States in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and North Korea's nuclear ambitions. Drawing from newly declassified diplomatic documents, Ryuji Hattori challenges conventional narratives and introduces the concept of the global alliance security dilemma, illustrating how Japan struggled to balance its pacifist constitution with growing international security demands. Providing a rare, document-based perspective on the Bush-Koizumi era, Hattori offers insights into high-level negotiations, security policymaking, and the shifting geopolitical landscape of East Asia. Through a meticulous analysis of primary sources and interviews with key policymakers, he reveals how Japan's foreign policy was shaped by both alliance asymmetries and domestic constraints. Ideal for scholars of international relations, security studies, and Asian diplomacy, After Terrorism is an essential resource for understanding the long-term impact of post-9/11 security decisions on US-Japan relations and the broader Indo-Pacific order.

The open access version of this book has been made available thanks to the generosity of Ryuji Hattori.

In Buenos Aires' garment industry, workers reshape precarious working conditions through collective organization and throughout their trajectories of migration and garment work. Moving beyond victimizing or criminalizing narratives, Karlotta Jule Bahnsen offers an ethnographic view of migrant workers' negotiations of intersectional inequalities across migration, gender, and labor, highlighting processes of transformation, transnational networks, and the hidden structures sustaining Buenos Aires' urban fashion industry. This unique perspective speaks to scholars of Latin America, informal labor in global industries, migration, and gender, while offering a vivid account of agency that resonates beyond academia.

Framing the global "Whistleblowers' Revolution" as a vital response to democratic malaise, this volume examines the socio-legal dynamics surrounding the exposure of illegal or unethical practices in both the public and private sectors. The analysis covers innovative legal frameworks and protective regimes across multiple jurisdictions while also closing the divide between theory and practice. The volume brings together contributions from distinguished scholars and practitioners alongside firsthand accounts from whistleblowers, resulting in a holistic approach that evaluates existing and prospective measures aimed at empowering truth-tellers and confronting entrenched cultures of silence.

The volume is structured to connect theory with lived experience. It moves from a transnational socio-legal analysis of global conditions (Part 1) to critical jurisdiction-based assessments across multiple countries (Part 2). The work then culminates in a series of firsthand narratives (Part 3), offered by insiders whose accounts reveal the significance, personal costs, and institutional consequences tied to speaking truth to power.

Applying various disciplinary perspectives with overlapping themes, contributors to this volume analyze the intersections of Disney studies and animal studies, demonstrating how common themes and issues transcend the context of Disney culture.

Through detailed analyses, contributors examine the roles played by animals in Disney culture, identifying recurring themes - like animal rights advocacy, the animal as Other, and the bond between humans and their dogs - that speak to the complex saga of human-animal relationships across time and cultural contexts.

Ranging from Disney's early-career projects like Silly Symphonies and World War II propaganda to both animated and live-action features including Alice in Wonderland (1951), Luca (2021), and Home on the Range (2004), and even representations of animals found at the theme parks, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the menagerie from insects and mice all the way up to lions and elephants.

This book examines the complexities of global caste and status hierarchies from a historical-sociological perspective. Arguing that caste hierarchies are not a unique phenomenon in South Asia, the author offers a novel perspective on analogous behavioral patterns among elite status groups and castes in Bengal, India; Japan, and the West. A comparative analysis of the historical development of the political economies in these regions during the early modern period considers cultural variations and the persistent influence of caste on power dynamics and social inequalities. Besides exploring the enduring nature of South Asia's caste hierarchies compared to other nations, this monograph also highlights similarities between genealogical posturing, codes of masculine honor, membership in elite publish spheres, and caste discrimination, across these vastly different societies. Promoting a global sociology by combining micro-historical details with macro-institutional perspectives, it critiques dominant perspectives on caste, found in both popular and academic works, through an examination of caste both within and beyond South Asian societies. Appealing to experts in sociology, history, and anthropology, this book endeavors to position caste as a global concept, thereby enabling comparisons of complex premodern societies.

'A most fascinating and wonderful book' - Helen Pankhurst CBE

This book tells the story of the British 'votes for women' campaign in a sequence of 100 objects. From the beginning of the campaign in 1866 until all women were granted the vote on the same terms as men in 1928, women used every means in their power to persuade the government to allow them the right to elect members of parliament. Through the analysis of an astonishing array of objects - including books, bags, petitions, posters, postcards, plays, photographs, china, chess sets, leaflets, newspapers, games, jewellery, scarves, badges, belts, sashes, rosettes, films, and figurines - The British Women's Suffrage Movement in 100 Objects explores the role that material culture played in this vital struggle.

Elizabeth Crawford looks at how, during the sixty-year campaign, items that played any part in life were put to work for 'votes for women', as suffrage activists both used and abused buildings, transport, and communications. These included not only objects created by the campaigners to influence public opinion, but also those produced by commercial firms to capitalise on the extraordinary publicity generated by the 'votes for women' movement.

Every one of the 100 objects included in this highly illustrated book represents a stage in the journey to equal citizenship. Among them are many our ancestors could have had in their homes or noticed in the street. Using the words of suffrage campaigners and their contemporaries, the accompanying text sets each object in context, with passages explaining politics and key personalities included throughout.

This book revisits the last three decades of heritage management across the world with the use of cultural landscape methodology. In 1992, UNESCO adopted the concept of cultural landscape as a category of world heritage places. This change recognized that culture and nature intertwined to create unique human environments, demonstrating the utility of the concept in natural and cultural heritage management and widening the notion of heritage management thinking and practice. The volume investigates the issues and strategies related to the heritage management of cultural landscape heritage, revisiting in particular the scholarship and legacies of Dr Ken Taylor, who has led a quiet but remarkable intellectual effort to define the concept of cultural landscape and its application in heritage management, and to help develop the next generation of thinkers and practitioners in heritage management.

Focusing on Milan, Barcelona, and the Ruhr area, this book reveals how three leading European city-regions are reshaping the relationship between planning, agriculture, and sustainability. Bringing together fieldwork, interviews, and comparative analysis, it highlights the often-overlooked power of peri-urban agriculture and the complex dynamics that underpin truly local food systems. Farmland preservation emerges as only one piece of a much larger puzzle-one that spans governance, policy design, farm business models, land tenure, biodiversity, and resource management.

Through vivid case studies, the book uncovers the tools, strategies, and actors driving innovation on the ground, as well as the structural obstacles that still stand in the way. The result is a compelling call for a more integrated, multi-scalar approach to planning-one capable of supporting resilient local food systems and sustainable peri-urban landscapes.

This book re-examines drug control through the lens of health and human rights. It offers the first comprehensive and systematic analysis of the international drug control regime from its inception to the present day. It traces the development of this system through a detailed examination of all major treaties, conventions, and institutional mechanisms. Written accessibly and drawing on archival research and documentary analysis, this book explores how colonial legacies have shaped international drug control, from the 1909 Shanghai Opium Commission to the present-day policies under the UN, which are discussed in relation to good health and access. It provides an in-depth investigation of the key negotiations, alliances, and geopolitical interests that have influenced drug governance, highlighting how securitisation and prohibition have often taken precedence over public health and equitable access to essential medicines. This work will be of interest to scholars and policymakers in history, international law, international relations, global governance, drug policy, and post-colonial studies. By offering an unprecedented level of detail and synthesis, it fills a critical gap in the literature and provides a much-needed reference for understanding the long-term impacts of international drug control.

Traditional Journalism in a Digital World offers a distinct view of independent community media by treating it as a subculture, outside of mainstream local media. Independent operators exist on the margins of mainstream media, and by recognizing them as a subculture, their struggles are revealed.

The book features the personal accounts of a sample of UK independent publishers and follows them across a ten-year period. It records their highs and lows, including how they responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the fundamental problems operators faced was that policy makers viewed legacy mainstream local and independent internet era publishers as the same, whereas existing policy favors legacy providers with their elevated status and superior lobbying power.

This study reveals the absence of a level playing field. Independents' coping strategies are revealed as they slowly organized themselves into a sector. The focus is on UK operations, but the same approach can be applied to local media globally. This book presents a unique use of classical subcultural theory and will appeal to both journalism scholars and social scientists alike.

This volume brings together a diverse group of Australian scholars who offer a range of perspectives on Australian identity and "being Australian" through the lens of food. It addresses the complex nature of Australia's always-evolving culinary landscape where multiculturalism and enduring Indigenous foodways are entangled with settler-colonial legacies. How has Australian food culture been shaped by the way Australians see themselves and by their cultural assumptions and aspirations in an increasingly globalised world? What role do foods from Indigenous and immigrants' cuisines play in Australian culinary identity - how have they been acclimatized and acculturated, interpreted or adapted, adopted and at times co-opted in Australian and global contexts? And how do Aboriginal Australians and immigrants assert their senses of identity through food?

Through its multidisciplinary approach to these and other contemporary debates around food and identity in Australia from both non-Indigenous and Aboriginal scholars, this book makes a unique contribution to the literature on food and food culture in Australia.

We often hear that all behaviour is communication, but how do we fully understand what children are telling us when they act in distressed and often challenging ways in our settings? And how do we respond? This book offers a practice-oriented look at current theory around early childhood adversity, attachment, trauma and brain development. Traumatic experiences such as abuse, neglect, domestic violence, bereavement, bullying and others can have long-lasting effects on children, making responding to their impact a complex task for education professionals. But it is precisely through their enlightened response that healing can begin.

Providing children with positive childhood experiences is dependent upon knowledgeable practitioners who can determine children's different needs and use this understanding to create flexible, responsive learning environments. This book draws on up-to-date research informing the conceptualisation of trauma and trauma-informed interventions and uses this to establish links to practice, highlighting relationship-based interventions. Real world vignettes of trauma-aware schools and professional dialogue with experts in the field allow for a strong focus on practice.

Each chapter begins with key ideas outlining the content of the chapter, and ends with a summary paragraph to link back to the key ideas. Each chapter also provides thinking points in the form of questions for reflection. Each of the four parts of the book ends with a chapter providing insights from experts in the field, schools utilising trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches as well as several Local Authorities seeking to introduce systemic change.

This book is essential reading for all those interested in how theory, research and policy developments can help to enhance practice in developing trauma-informed and trauma-responsive educational environments.

How can research move from observation to transformation without sacrificing rigor? This volume brings together cultural, feminist, decolonial, and community-engaged approaches that make voices too often silenced in mainstream psychology both audible and authoritative. Across 2 volumes, spanning gender equity, mental health, education, and community development, contributors from Latin America and Spain present grounded research designs, dialogic analyses, and creative artefacts that reconfigure who speaks and what counts as knowledge. The collection is a call to humanize academia and broaden the methodological horizons of the social sciences, proposing an ethical framework that redistributes epistemic authority.

In this first volume, focusing on feminist and gender-sensitive research and mental health, chapters interrogate diagnosis and discourse through phenomenology and psychoanalysis, co-produce knowledge with survivors and caregivers, and pilot arts-based, participatory designs that support recovery. Grounded in concrete field projects, the book offers a tested methodological toolkit. Its contributions foreground the agency and subjectivity of research participants, and scholar-practitioners with "one foot on the street and one in the university."

Read alongside Volume 2, which extends this into research on education and community development, the two-volume set traces how participatory methodologies travel across contexts while remaining locally situated. By centring the research subject, the book challenges dominant assumptions and prevailing power structures, opening new avenues for intervention and inquiry. It will be essential reading for students and scholars in critical psychology, mental health, medical anthropology, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and public policy.

A native son on the history, literature, culture, and characters of the Upstate New York he loves.

Over the last three-plus decades, Bill Kauffman has written about and interviewed upstate New York novelists, politicians, and civic activists who have given the region much of its pith, vitality, and distinctiveness. Upstaters collects the best of these, including profiles of upstate novelists Walter D. Edmonds, John Gardner, and Henry W. Clune; a portrait of congressional legend and World Bank president Barber Conable; appreciations of underknown writers Josephine Young Case, Martha Treichler, and Warren Hunting Smith; and a cast of characters that includes dying men and enterprising women, enfants terribles and eminences grises, doomed folksingers, and the cheapest man in America. These men and women do not exist in isolation; they give life to and draw life from their little places, and so their communities also slip into profile, from the literary capital of New York State (Utica) to the flame-tender of an all-but-extinct Olympic sport (Angelica). Kauffman, former vice president of the minor-league Batavia Muckdogs of the New York-Penn League (extinguished by Major League Baseball), writes also of the fight to maintain baseball in a Rust Belt town in a bottom-line age. His tone throughout is by turns amused, hortatory, wistful, angry, and earnest, but most of all animated by love for the part of New York that has nurtured, annoyed, and entertained him for a lifetime.

This book provides a comparative and up-to-date account of the recent Labour governments in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Focussing on the cases of the Albanese government in Australia, the Starmer government in the UK and the Ardern government in New Zealand, it offers an important and concise account of how the centre-left is finding new political pathways in the twenty-first century. The book focuses on a three key policy areas - including political economy, welfare policy, and industrial relations, with a critical review of the relationship with the trade unions. It concludes by exploring the ideological trajectory of these centre-left parties, and considers how the politics of 'labourism' is transforming. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy and party politics.

Unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work.

Hitchcock and Hospitality argues that the violation of hospitality is a driving force behind Alfred Hitchcock's work. From his television hosting to his cameo appearances to the premises of his stories, the Master of Suspense stages a crisis of authority over access to physical and virtual space. Using the familiarity of his work to make a larger contribution to both film and critical theory, this book engages the French tradition of theorizing hospitality with a keen eye for its feminist implications. But the House of Hitchcock unsettles the scene of hospitality further, down to its hold on the organization of social space. Reading for hospitality not just in grand estates and humble cottages but in cars and trains, motels and apartments, and other mobile and transient spaces-including the virtual space of film itself-Hitchcock and Hospitality tracks the drama of modern social exchange and unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Films considered intensively include the familiar (Rebecca, Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds, and Marnie) as well as those that have received less critical attention (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saboteur, Lifeboat, and Dial M for Murder). The book also touches on many other Hitchcock films and on key episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
