Elite Origins of Democracy and Development in the Muslim World

Elite Origins of Democracy and Development in the Muslim World

Using an elite consensus/conflict analytical frame this book examines why some majority Muslim countries perform so much better at democracy and/or development than others questioning received wisdoms that Islam authoritarianism and underdevelopment go together. Identifying four distinct democracy and development outcomes in the Muslim world four case studies are interrogated to show that there is more variability in democracy and development outcomes in Muslim majority countries than macro-historical studies and aggregate data have shown. By demonstrating that democracy and development outcomes in Muslim countries are the consequence of elite conflict and elite consensus rather than the precepts or institutions of Islam the book places the competition for power among contending elites rather than Islam at the center of the story of democracy and development in the Muslim world. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political development/development studies democratization and autocratization studies democracy promotion and more broadly comparative politics. | Elite Origins of Democracy and Development in the Muslim World

Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

This book represents an alternative perspective on international elite sport systems. It focusses on the embedded multi-level nature of leadership and the scope that this might give for degrees of leadership autonomy and discretion. The chapters show how mechanisms of leadership on different levels interact. The nature and mix of leadership mechanisms reflect values and expectations related to specific political normative and commercial sport contexts. Three introductory chapters outline key elements of these dimensions of elite sport contexts. Seven empirical cases illustrate how national contexts facilitate and constrain leadership practices related to specific sports across Russia China Ghana Germany Switzerland Denmark Norway and the US. The final chapter discusses embedded multi-level leadership from a comparative perspective. Based on the countries covered the book distinguishes between three groups: state-dominated systems state-elite sport partnership and countries with a passive state with no state intervention. This book is important reading for researchers and students with an interest in sport management sport development sport policy and sport governance as well as for policy-makers performance directors and managers working in elite sport. | Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research

Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research

Disclosing elite ecologies: Methodologies for Doing Urban Elite Research offers a set of methodologies to chart urban elites. Whereas most research has focused on the global super-rich this book pays specific attention to the multidimensional urban geographies of elite reproduction and transformation as elites depend on urban contexts for capital accumulation consumption and leisure and housing. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the topic contributing authors discuss various theoretical and methodological antecedents in urban studies and related areas of research that have investigated economic elites. Building on but also moving beyond these bodies of literature the book rejects a-priori definitions of the size and shape of this social group and instead pursues relational place specific conceptualizations of elite composition and behavior. In particular the contributions to the volume show that urban elite research benefits from paying more attention to: (i) boundary work between elites and non-elites; (ii) intra-elite competition and distinction; (iii) national state spaces in determining elite composition; and (iv) the urban sense of belonging of economic elites. This extensive volume provides readers with various empirical inroads into the study of urban elites drawing on research set in Brussels Fez London Lyon Madrid Manchester Milan New York City Paris and Porto Alegre. Taking inspiration from urban and economic geography elite theory and urban sociology cultural sociology political economy anthropology criminology architecture and migration studies this book aims to open up the opportunity for methodological cross-fertilization. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography. | Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

While the popularity of golf is coming under increased pressure it continues to hook millions of players. However the complexity of the game and the extremely high level of precision required to hit the ball consistently well means that it is a game that is difficult to even become ‘good’ at let alone master. Consequently irrespective of whether the player is a weekend golfer a club member or a tour professional the search for the key to playing good golf feeds an insatiable desire for ideas and tips to improve golf performance and bring one’s handicap down. However traditional coaching with its primary focus on developing the perfect swing is not leading to a reduction in handicaps and the time is ripe for a new approach. This book aims to fill this void and is a landmark text for golf coaches and players about applying a constraints-led approach (CLA) to golf coaching. In this book two golf coaches Pete Arnott and Graeme McDowall talk to Ian Renshaw to demonstrate how their practice is driven and inspired by their alignment to a CLA. A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching includes case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to induce adaption in the technical tactical (or put in golf terms course management) physiological and psychological development mechanisms needed to improve at golf. Examples cover coaching from their work with beginners high handicappers aspirant tour players and elite players looking to make the ‘tour’.

Rugby Union and Professionalisation Elite Player Perspectives

Rugby Union and Professionalisation Elite Player Perspectives

The game of rugby has changed significantly in the course of its history. In the early part of the 19th century it evolved from a folk game played by the working class to a recreational activity for public schoolboys. From the 1820s rugby represented an opportunity for gentlemen to demonstrate physical prowess and masculinity and in more recent times it has developed into an activity that reflects the changing attitudes towards professional sport. For the most part of the last one hundred years rugby union became an important international sport that represented the nationalistic ideals of a number of countries. However a number of developments including the increasing influence of a business ethos within sport during the latter decades of the twentieth century exposed rugby union to the realities of commercialism and all the factors associated with it especially the demands of a more diverse spectating public. Drawing on interview material with forty-eight elite level rugby union players from England Wales Scotland France Ireland South Africa New Zealand and Australia who participated in elite level rugby union either before in the overlapping period or after the declaration of professionalism this book traces the evolution of attitudes towards professionalism from a players’ perspective and develops a critical review of the impact that professionalism has had upon the sport of rugby union.

Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

Ancestor worship is often assumed by contemporary European audiences to be an outdated and primitive tradition with little relevance to our societies past and present. This book questions that assumption and seeks to determine whether ancestor ideology was an integral part of religion in Viking Age and early medieval Scandinavia. The concept is examined from a broad socio-anthropological perspective which is used to structure a set of case studies which analyse the cults of specific individuals in Old Norse literature. The situation of gods in Old Norse religion has been almost exclusively addressed in isolation from these socio-anthropological perspectives. The public gravemound cults of deceased rulers are discussed conventionally as cases of sacral kingship and more recently religious ruler ideology; both are seen as having divine associations in Old Norse scholarship. Building on the anthropological framework this study introduces the concept of ‘superior ancestors’ employed in social anthropology to denote a form of political ancestor worship used to regulate social structure deliberately. It suggests that Old Norse ruler ideology was based on conventional and widely recognised religious practices revolving around kinship and ancestors and that the gods were perceived as human ancestors belonging to elite families. | Ancestor Worship and the Elite in Late Iron Age Scandinavia A Grave Matter

The Politics of the Elite Ideological Orientations Mothering and Social Mobilities in Neoliberal Chile

The Politics of the Elite Ideological Orientations Mothering and Social Mobilities in Neoliberal Chile

This book is a study of class formation at the top of the social hierarchies during the turbulent and changing early twenty-first century. Contrary to perceptions that privileged individuals exist according to little more than market and economic logics the book provides evidence that they are by no means absent from politics and civic engagement. Adopting a focus on reproduction distinction and politics it delves into the complex relationship between cohesion and fragmentation that exists within the most privileged groups formed over the course of the contemporary neoliberal period. By knitting a dialogue between spatial analysis multiple correspondence analysis and in-depth interviews the book provides insights into the intricate relations between institutions and political subjectivities and the role of space and mothering in the political socialisation of Chile’s most privileged families. The result is a dense description of a social class fragmented by subtle ideological lines based upon economic inheritance socialisation within homogeneous family environments paths into the labour market and social and political activities. This book will constitute a much-needed research resource for academics students and professionals in areas such as elite studies social stratification inequality social reproduction accumulation political socialisation and contemporary conservative/progressive views. | The Politics of the Elite Ideological Orientations Mothering and Social Mobilities in Neoliberal Chile

Studying the Power Elite Fifty Years of Who Rules America?

Studying the Power Elite Fifty Years of Who Rules America?

This book critiques and extends the analysis of power in the classic Who Rules America? on the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication in 1967—and through its subsequent editions. The chapters written especially for this book by twelve sociologists and political scientists provide fresh insights and new findings on many contemporary topics among them the concerted attempt to privatize public schools; foreign policy and the growing role of the military-industrial component of the power elite; the successes and failures of union challenges to the power elite; the ongoing and increasingly global battles of a major sector of agribusiness; and the surprising details of how those who hold to the egalitarian values of social democracy were able to tip the scales in a bitter conflict within the power elite itself on a crucial banking reform in the aftermath of the Great Recession. These social scientists thereby point the way forward in the study of power not just in the United States but globally. A brief introductory chapter situates Who Rules America? within the context of the most visible theories of power over the past fifty years—pluralism Marxism Millsian elite theory and historical institutionalism. Then a chapter by G. William Domhoff the author of Who Rules America? takes us behind the scenes on how the original version was researched and written tracing the evolution of the book in terms of new concepts and research discoveries by Domhoff himself as well as many other power structure researchers through the 2014 seventh edition. Readers will find differences of opinion and analysis from chapter to chapter. The authors were encouraged to express their views independently and frankly. They do so in an admirable and useful fashion that will stimulate everyone’s thinking on these difficult and complex issues setting the agenda for future studies of power. | Studying the Power Elite Fifty Years of Who Rules America?

The Trilateral Commission and Global Governance Informal Elite Diplomacy 1972-82

The Trilateral Commission and Global Governance Informal Elite Diplomacy 1972-82

This book provides the first analysis of the Trilateral Commission and its role in global governance and contemporary diplomacy. In 1973 David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the Trilateral Commission. Involving highly influential people from business and politics in the US Western Europe and Japan the Commission was soon preceived as constituting an embryonic or even shadow world government. As the first researcher to have accessed the Commission’s archives the author argues that this study demonstrates that global governance and international diplomacy should be considered a product of overlapping elite networks that merge informal and formal spheres across national borders. This work has three immediate aims: to trace the background origins purposes characteristics and modus operandi of the Commission; to investigate the elite aspect of the Commission and how this related to democracy; and to demonstrate how the Commission contributed to diplomatic practices and policy-formulation at national and international levels. The overall purpose of this book is to evaluate the significance of the Trilateral Commission with particular focus on the implications of its activities on the way we understand decision-making processes and diplomacy in modern democratic societies. This book will be of much interest to students of the Cold War US foreign policy diplomacy studies and IR in general | The Trilateral Commission and Global Governance Informal Elite Diplomacy 1972-82
