BOOK
The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis (Oxford Handbooks of Political Science)
$38.80

About this product:
The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis sets out to synthesize and critique for the first time those approaches to political science that offer a more fine-grained qualitative analysis of the political world. The work in the volume has a common aim in being sensitive to the thoughts of contextual nuances that disappear from large-scale quantitative modeling or explanations based on abstract, general, universal laws of human behavior. It shows that 'context matters' in a great many ways: philosophical context matters; psychological context matters; cultural and historical contexts matter; place, population, and technology all matter. By showcasing scholars who specialize in the analysis of all these contexts side-by-side, The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis shows how political scientists can take those crucial contextual factors systematically into account.

BOOK
Spatial And Contextual Models In Political Research
$109.95

About this product:
After decades of relative neglect, spatial and contextual models of political life have become increasingly popular. These models are vital in recognising the importance of the geographic settings and group environments for an understanding of a wide variety of political phenomena. They confront a number of methodologically challenging problems such as untangling nested and multi-level contextual effects and problems of cross-level inference. Understanding how spatial and social contexts both constrain and provide opportunities for political action remains an important research frontier in the social sciences.; This text presents a number of studies, by political scientists and geographers, that explore important research questions in both disciplines. Several contributions address ongoing debates concerning the magnitude and causal mechanisms responsible for contextual effects on political attitudes and behaviour. Other contributions present spatial analyses of a variety of political phenomena, ranging from the distribution of electoral support for political parties to the diffusion of judicial innovations within a country. There are also many contributions which cover methodological issues in spatial analysis and demonstrate the application of, and potential for, developing geographic information systems GIS technology for the analysis of political phenomena. These issues are raised in the context of political research in a number of advanced industrial countries including Britain, Italy and the United States.; The book is accessible, interdisciplinary and comparative in its approach to the spatial and contextual analysis of political phenomena. The contributions establish the vitality and importance of this dimension, demonstrating how spatial and contextual perspectives can effectively be incorporated into political research in a variety of countries.

Socialization Tactics, Content, and Career Effectiveness: The Role of Political Skill in Contextual Adjustment and Effectiveness
Fred R. Blass
$38.95

About this product:
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A380714. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This research formulated and tested a process model of socialization tactics and content as they relate to personal learning and career effectiveness. The research consisted of two studies varying in scope, but designed to provide convergent validation evidence. First, Study 1 was conducted in order to test several salient aspects of the proposed model. Study 2 provided a more extensive investigation of the proposed relationships. More specifically, this research examined the outcomes of the relationship between the collective and serial socialization tactics (Van Maanen & Schein, 1979) and the politics and people categories of socialization content (Chao, O'Leary-Kelly, Wolf, Klein, & Gardner, 1994). In turn, this research sought to examine the effects of socialization tactics and content on individual political skill (Ferris, Kolodinsky, Hochwarter, & Frink, 2001) and political skill effects on career effectiveness (Hall, 1976, 2002). It was proposed that individuals that experienced collective and serial socialization tactics, would report a higher level of knowledge regarding the content categories of people and politics. Furthermore, it was proposed that individuals would, as a result of socialization processes, experience greater personal learning in the form of increased political skill, which, in turn, would result in increased perceptions of career effectiveness. In general, the results of this research supported the proposed relationships.

BOOK
Controversies in Political Theology: Development or Liberation? (Controversies in Contextual Theology)
Thia
$20.98

About this product:
"Controversies in Political Theology" addresses the question of whether Christians should be struggling towards development or liberation. It explores the theologies of development and liberation, from their beginnings in the 1960s through their changes to the central arguments today. The contrasts are examined in the practice of faith-based aid agencies. The understanding of how to practice justice differs widely for development theology and liberation theology. Whilst the theology of development remain focused on the economic realm, on trade and consumption, the theology of liberation expands the discussion beyond the economic realm to deal with politics, race, gender and culture more generally. These different concepts of justice lead to very different actions in communities around the world. This book provides students with access to an in-depth view of these practices in a clear and concise context. The book looks not only at the theologies themselves but also how they came to emerge, and how they stand in contrast across the globe today.
