The Journeys 3

Batas akan tetap menjadi batas, saat tak ada yang benar-benar berani menyeberanginya. Seperti halnya kita menamai utara sebagai utara, karena tak ada yang pernah bertanya kenapa. Jarak akan tetap menjadi jarak, saat tak ada yang memulai langkah untuk menyudahinya. Kita hanya menduga-duga, sebelah langit mana yang berwarna lebih merah. Dan, perjalanan hanya akan menjadi perjalanan, saat tak ada yang sudi menceritakan kisah yang menyertanya. Maka, temuilah, lewati batas, tuntaskan jarak. Ceritakan—setidaknya kepada diri sendiri, tentang jawaban yang kita temui. *** Inilah kisah perjalanan yang akan membuat kita kembali kepada sesuatu yang paling dekat, sejauh apa pun kita melangkah pergi. Sebuah perjalanan ‘ziarah’; mengunjungi diri sendiri. -GagasMedia-

Citizen Participation and Political Communication in a Digital World

The arrival of the participatory web 2.0 has been hailed by many as a media revolution, bringing with it new tools and possibilities for direct political action. Through specialised online platforms, mainstream social media or blogs, citizens in many countries are increasingly seeking to have their voices heard online, whether it is to lobby, to support or to complain about their elected representatives. Politicians, too, are adopting "new media" in specific ways, though they are often criticised for failing to seize the full potential of online tools to enter into dialogue with their electorates. Bringing together perspectives from around the world, this volume examines emerging forms of citizen participation in the face of the evolving logics of political communication, and provides a unique and original focus on the gap which exists between political uses of digital media by the politicians and by the people they represent.

The most common incarnation of this posture is denouncing the lies of the
candidates by circulating 'detox' articles ('désintox' in French) written by
journalists or self-produced video montages in the manner of before/after, thus

The Digital Coloniality of Power

Epistemic Disobedience in the Social Sciences and the Legitimacy of the Digital Age

Trouble is afoot in Digital Culture and Nerdland. These are, Alexander I. Stingl claims, not the engine of freedom and democracy that they once were hailed to be – this much is already clear in the wake of the snooping and surveillance crises that broke in recent years. Digitalization is but another version of the coloniality of power and being that has been at work for decades and centuries. He poses the question, whether Digital Age possess the legitimacy that ‘digitalization’ has claimed. His response is critically realistic, but he doesn’t stop at a critique for criticism’s sake. Inspired by the ideas of decolonial scholars, feminist science studies, current biological and neuro-cognitive research, and sociologists capable of reflection and self-criticism, Stingl attempts to ‘break’ the canvas of sociology and show that adding a third and decolonial dimension to the two-dimensional sociological imagination is indeed possible. He illustrates that it is possible that class-rooms, free speech on internet, and the inequalities in the production and distribution of a new form of social capital – digital cultural health care capital – can be subjected to a decolonial perspective along a sociological line of inquiry, if sociologists allow for relations with other disciplines and scholarship to be integrative conversations. The goal of this book is not to offer results or closed arguments but to create, instead, platforms for thinking further, opening new lines of inquiry, and to argue that it is not enough to identify problems or to attempt solve the problems with politics or best practice solutions. Instead, he proposes, we must learn to identify and make use of the opportunities that are produced by any problem. Stingl’s conclusion is, in short, that a sociology that takes the decolonial challenge and critique seriously, can not be a sociological (sub)discipline or a sociology of (a) problem, but it must be a sociology of opportunities.

Perhaps our age should best be described as a “chemical, toxic, acidic” age in
need of an “alkaline, detox diet.” However, this would be, perhaps, too much
abstract philosophy for a sociological book (see, perhaps, instead Manuel

How the Global Financial Markets Really Work

The Definitive Guide to Understanding International Investment and Money Flows

With EU legislation, the increasing reach of the US economy, greater flexibility of financial instruments, and M&A activity across borders, financial markets are becoming ever more international. Overshadowing them all is the spectre of the credit crunch - a global tsunami that stemmed originally from the subprime mortgage crisis in the US but quickly became a global issue, hitting both international money markets and high street lending. How the Global Financial Markets Really Work brings clarity and sense to an often complex international environment, showing how circumstances in one country can have a dramatic effect on the financial environment in many others. The book examines financial markets as they are today - global and, for better or worse, interlinked and inter-dependent. It covers the markets of the US and Europe, as well as other key financial centres around the world, such as Hong Kong and Sydney, but will also offer insight to the unique issues facing emerging markets, including Eastern Europe, China, India and the United Arab Emirates.

Global Report on Student Well-Being

Volume IV: Religion, Education, Recreation, and Health

I suppose that most of the people reading this volume will have read or have access to Volume One of my Global Report on Student Well Being. Therefore, I will not review the background literature relevant to multiple discrepancies theory (MDT), the theory itself or the essential features of the international university undergraduate data set on which this whole report is based. Anyone familiar with my earlier papers (Michalos 1985, 1987, 1988) will have a good idea of MDT. However, one really has to have a look at the first volume of this study in order to appreciate the richness of a data-set consisting of over 18,000 cases drawn from 39 countries. As I indicated at the beginning of that volume, the data-set is available for a very modest cost to anyone who wants it. I am happy to report that a few re searchers have already obtained some or all of the data-set and are currently undertaking their own analyses. I do hope others will also take advantage of this opportunity. The focus of Volume One was on happiness and satisfaction with life as a whole, so-called global indicators of subjective well being. Volume Two was devoted to an exploration of satisfaction with the interpersonal relations of family, friends and living partners, and personal self-esteem. Volume Three was concerned with satisfaction of paid employment, with material goods as indicated by the domains finances, housing and transportation.

Personal Effectiveness

'Personal Effectiveness' encourages managers to develop self-knowledge and apply this to their behaviour, both in relation to their own job performance and in the role of leading and managing others. Through reviewing progress within your area of managerial responsibility, you will improve your own opportunities and prospects as well as build the ability to identify the strengths and weaknesses of others. "Personal Effectiveness" inspires managers to continuously develop and upgrade their set of skills, knowledge and behaviours to be appropriate for effective leadership in the 21st century. 'Personal Effectiveness' introduces managers to the idea of effective performance and the underlying techniques and approaches required in terms of behaviour and skills to achieve effective performance. The authors follow the Personal Competency Model currently in favour and anticipate future developments within the model. The behaviours, or competencies, which underpin effective performance in modern management are addressed and those behaviours associated with the Personal Competency Model are explored and developed. This third edition of Personal Effectiveness incorporates new self-assessment templates to enable the manager to identify personal strengths and weaknesses in each element of the relevant competency within the model, as appropriate to each chapter. The checklist of associated behaviours, the full Personal Competency Model and the various units of competence (performance) underpinned by the competencies (behaviour and skills) can now be found in the three associated appendices. A number of additional concepts and models, as well as some new scenarios, have been introduced throughout the text and the links to the Institute"s Module (where relevant) have now been identified at the beginning of the chapters. The text is suitable for use on the Chartered Management Institutes Diploma Level course on Understanding Yourself and "Personal Development Planning". It is also suitable for NVQ national units of managerial competence and personal competency required to perform at management level 4.
