The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities

The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities

The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities analyses violence in post-war cities from different perspectives and in different parts of the world with a shared attention to space and how it affects violent dynamics. The world is urbanising rapidly and cities are increasingly held as the most important arenas for sustainable development. Cities emerging from war are no exception but across the globe many post-war cities are ravaged by residual or renewed violence which threatens progress towards peace and stability. This volume addresses why such violence happens where and how it manifests and how it can be prevented. It includes contributions that are informed by both post-war logics and urban particularities that take intra-city dynamics into account and that adopt a spatial analysis of the city. They focus on cases around the world including Medellín (Colombia) Johannesburg (South Africa) and Mitrovica (Kosovo). The volume makes a threefold contribution to the research agenda on violence in post-war cities. First the contributions nuance our understanding of the causes and forms of the uneven spatial distribution of violence insecurities and trauma within and across post-war cities. Second the collection demonstrates how urban planning and the built environment shape and generate different forms of violence in post-war cities. Third the contributions explore the challenges opportunities and potential unintended consequences of conflict resolution in violent urban settings. Providing novel insights into the causes and dynamics of violence in post-war cities and challenges and opportunities for violence reduction The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities will be of great interest to scholars of peace violence conflict and its resolution urban studies built environment and planning. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Jihadism in the Russian-Speaking World The Genealogy of a Post-Soviet Phenomenon

Jihadism in the Russian-Speaking World The Genealogy of a Post-Soviet Phenomenon

This book contends that the discourses of jihadism in Russia's North Caucasus and their offshoots in other parts of the Russian Federation are not just reflections of jihadi ideologies that came from abroad rather that post-Soviet jihadism is a phenomenon best understood when placed in the broader cultural environment in which it emerged an environment which comprises the North Caucasus the whole of Russia and beyond. It examines how post-Soviet jihadism is also part of global processes in this case global jihadism explores how post-Soviet jihadism bears the imprint of the preceding Soviet context especially in terms of symbols discursive tools interpretational frameworks and dissemination strategies and discusses how ironically Russian-speaking jihadism is an expansionist idea for uniting all Russian regions on a supra-ethnic principle but an idea that was not born in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Overall the book demonstrates that Russian-speaking jihadism is a completely new ideology which nevertheless has its origins in the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Soviet era and in the broader trends of post-Soviet society and culture. | Jihadism in the Russian-Speaking World The Genealogy of a Post-Soviet Phenomenon

This book first published in 1991 presents essays that explore the political and economic reform policies that emerged in post-Mao China under Deng Xiaoping.

The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World

The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World

The Education of Black Males in a ‘Post-Racial’ World examines the varied structural and discursive contexts of race masculinities and class that shape the educational and social lives of Black males. The contributing authors take direct aim at the current discourses that construct Black males as disengaged in schooling because of an autonomous Black male culture and explore how media social sciences school curriculum popular culture and sport can define and constrain the lives of Black males. The chapters also provide alternative methodologies theories and analyses for making sense of and addressing the complex needs of Black males in schools and in society. By expanding our understanding of how unequal access to productive opportunities and quality resources converge to systemically create disparate experiences and outcomes for African-American males this volume powerfully illustrates that race still matters in 'post-racial' America. This book was originally published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education. | The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World

Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

Recent advancements in information systems and computer technology have led to developments in equipment and robotic technology that have permanently changed the characteristics of manufacturing equipment. Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era: Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines introduces a new way of thinking to help high-tech organizations manage an increasingly complex equipment base. It also facilitates the fundamental understanding of equipment management those in traditional industries will need to prepare for the emerging microchip era in equipment. Kern Peng shares insights gained through decades of managing equipment performance. Using a systems model to analyze equipment management he introduces alternatives in equipment management that are currently gaining momentum in high-tech industries. The book highlights the fundamental internal flaw in maintenance organizational setup presents new approaches to replace maintenance functional setup and illustrates a time-tested transformation and implementation process to help transition your organization from the maintenance era to the new post-maintenance era. Fundamentally it: Breaks down the history of equipment into five phases Provides a clear understanding of equipment management fundamentals and Introduces alternatives in equipment management beyond the mainstream principles of maintenance management. More specifically the book examines maintenance management logistics including planning and budgeting; training and people development; customer services and management; vendor management; and inventory management. Supplying a comprehensive look at the history of equipment management it analyzes current maintenance practice and details approaches that can significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your equipment management well into the future. This second edition addresses the role of the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in enabling a new generation of smart machines which have in turn laid the foundation for Industry 4. 0. Equipment utilizing IoT and sensors can monitor components and allow them to be serviced at an exact time without the need for a preventive maintenance schedule. Moreover equipment replacement rarely occurs at the end of the piece of equipment’s natural life; rather replacement is driven by the introduction of new technologies and products all of which lead to less maintenance activities and reduces the importance of the traditional maintenance function. Maintenance departments today operate with fewer employees and smaller budgets. At a point when machines are smart enough to keep themselves running or equipment is rendered obsolete by better equipment in a short time such as with computers and cellphones companies do not need a maintenance department. This updated edition reiterates the importance of transitioning to the post-maintenance era to effectively manage today’s sophisticated smart yet expensive equipment. Many changes the author predicted a decade ago are accelerating in the IoT era. Equipment management is moving further away from the maintenance era and advancing deeper into the post-maintenance era. The trend for smart machines is very clear and companies that do not upgrade their equipment will lose their competitiveness. As equipment and factories become smarter companies must change their practices and organizational structures to manage the new generation of equipment for Industry 4. 0. | Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space

Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space

This book focuses on the relations between citizenship and various manifestations of diversity including but not exclusively ethnicity. Contributors address migrants and minorities in a novel and original way by adding the concept of ‘uneven citizenship’ to the debate surrounding the former Yugoslavian states. Referring to this ‘uneven citizenship’ concept this book not only engages with exclusionary legal political and social practices but also looks at other unanticipated or unaccounted for results of citizenship policies. Individual chapters address statuses rights and duties of refugees internally displaced persons (IDPs) returnees Roma and ‘claimed co-ethnics’ as well as various interactions between dominant and non-dominant groups in the post-Yugoslav space. The particular focus is on ‘migrants and minorities’ as these are frequently overlapping categories in the post-Yugoslav context and indeed more generally. Not only is policy framework addressed but also public understanding and the socio-historical developments which created legally and culturally stratified transnationally marginalized desired and claimed co-ethnics and those less wanted often on the margins of citizenship. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space
