Cultuur en communicatie zijn zo nauw met elkaar verweven dat cultuurverschillen automatisch leiden tot verschillen in communicatie. In Culturele waarden en communicatie wordt een overzicht gegeven van actuele theorieën over cultuurverschillen en de verschillen in verbale en non-verbale communicatie die daaruit voortvloeien. Uitgangspunt van het boek is een vergelijking tussen Nederland en Vlaanderen, die wel dezelfde taal maar niet dezelfde cultuur hebben. De verschillen tussen beide culturen worden vervolgens vergeleken met andere Europese culturen en de culturen van het Midden-Oosten, Azië en Afrika. Ook intercultureel management komt aan bod, waarbij cultuurverschillen in een zakelijke context besproken worden. De talrijke voorbeelden en oefeningen maken je bewust van je eigen cultuur en van de problematiek van interculturele communicatie. Hierdoor leer je de communicatie van andere culturen beter te begrijpen, zelf effectiever intercultureel te communiceren en synergie uit cultuurverschillen te halen. In dit boek wordt een overzicht gegeven van theorieën over cultuurverschillen en de verschillen in communicatie die daaruit voortvloeien, zowel verbaal als non-verbaal. De talrijke voorbeelden en oefeningen in 'Culturele waarden en communicatie' maken de studenten bewust van de eigen cultuur en van de problematiek van interculturele communicatie. Hierdoor leren zij de communicatie van andere culturen beter te begrijpen en zelf effectiever intercultureel te communiceren en samen te werken met of leiding te geven aan mensen uit verschillende culturen. In de vierde, herziene druk zijn relevante nieuwe theorieën verwerkt en wordt meer aandacht besteed aan interculturele communicatie met migranten dan in vorige edities.

This Palgrave Pivot presents a series of political economy short stories of collective agency, weaving together the history of a progressive change with a discussion of the role of institutions to effect change. These stories highlight sustained activism around valuing caring, ending discrimination, protecting the environment, improving worker well-being, and reimagining ways to encourage local economic development by restoring public-private social balance. Ultimately, these stories demonstrate that challenges to the neoliberal economy are possible. Neoliberalism can be viewed as a value structure that is undermining sustainable human development by elevating the level of risk experienced in daily economic life. Its hallmarks are globalization, market liberalization, deregulation, financialization, cutbacks in social provisioning through the public sector, and restructuring of labor markets in ways that increase instability. Social movements have responded, agitating for change. The stories here provide examples of how social actors engage in collective behavior to advance the objectives of economic justice, democratic participation in economic life, and human development. .

This book devises an innovative new way of explaining how socioeconomic orders shape capitalism in Asia. Hundt and Uttam go beyond both the ‘varieties of capitalism’ approach, which is mainly used to analyse Western capitalism, and the 'developmental state' thesis, which is the primary framework for analysing capitalism in Asia, and propose a new and innovative approach to the emergence of capitalist systems. Rather than focusing solely or predominantly on the state, they argue, it is necessary to bring society back in to an analysis of capitalism. The authors apply this approach to case studies from across the region: Japan; South Korea and Taiwan; Hong Kong and Singapore; Malaysia and Thailand; and India and China. This volume will appeal to historians, political scientists and economists, as well as policymakers, who are interested in the transformation of the Asian region since World War II.

This book takes radical aim at the conventional conduct of international relations analysis. It reexamines the role of ideas, the usefulness of psychoanalysis, the rage for and at rational choice, the influence of the public on foreign policy, counterinsurgency evangelism, and development orthodoxies at the national and genetic levels. Drawing a bead on conceptual blind spots prevalent both inside and outside the academy, the book urges scholars to reflect on how inner worlds shape the actions of their subjects—and their own research analyses, as well. .

For decades, Milton Santos (1926-2001) has been considered one of the most influential thinkers in Brazilian and Latin American social sciences and geography. Yet his writings, most of which have not been translated into English, are largely unknown to European and North American audiences. This book introduces English-speaking scholars to Professor Santos through critical engagement with his ideas and writings. The chapters presented here reveal the breadth and originality of his critical thought, as well as its ongoing importance to contemporary debates. The book features a biography of Santos and includes an annotated translation of one of his most-cited texts, The Return of the Territory, offered here for the first time in English. This text demonstrates how Santos’s provocative insights continue to transform core concepts of political and human geography. The book also includes a number of short chapters written by scholars from Brazil, Spain and France. Through reflections on Santos’s work, the various authors demonstrate the value and possibilities of extending the geographer’s theories. They explore key geographical themes across political economy, rural studies, territorial planning, environmental crisis, digital networks, indigenous peoples, transportation and public health. This collection invites geographers from around the world to engage with this rich intellectual tradition from Brazil. .
