Par Tristram Hunt. 2010
Friedrich Engels is one of the most intriguing and contradictory figures of the nineteenth century. Born to a prosperous mercantile…
family, he spent his life enjoying the comfortable existence of a Victorian gentleman; yet he was at the same time the co-author of The Communist Manifesto, a ruthless political tactician, and the man who sacrificed his best years so that Karl Marx could have the freedom to write. Although his contributions are frequently overlooked, Engels's grasp of global capital provided an indispensable foundation for communist doctrine, and his account of the Industrial Revolution, The Condition of the Working Class in England, remains one of the most haunting and brutal indictments of capitalism's human cost. Drawing on a wealth of letters and archives, acclaimed historian Tristram Hunt plumbs Engels's intellectual legacy and shows us how one of the great bon viveurs of Victorian Britain reconciled his exuberant personal life with his radical political philosophy. This epic story of devoted friendship, class compromise, ideological struggle, and family betrayal at last brings Engels out from the shadow of his famous friend and collaborator.Discover a powerful methodology for bringing communities together to uncover hidden assets and transform deep-rooted challenges.Veteran community organizer Paul Born's…
work has contributed to lowering cancer rates in Maine, improving mental health for young people in Florida, and reducing poverty rates in Canada by 20 percent. In this much-needed new book, he shares stories of how he was able to catalyze local communities and guide them to make significant progress on seemingly intractable community problems. Born has found that the secret to success is to organize and unite around a common agenda. This is not a list of topics, like a meeting agenda, nor a strategic plan. He offers a process for bringing leaders from businesses, human service organizations, and governments together with people who have a lived experience of a specific community problem. A common agenda is a statement of shared aspirations, a map of the assets in the community, and a road map for how to work together to make those aspirations a reality. Part I of this book describes how to identify your community's readiness for change; form leadership, action, and strategy teams; create a common agenda; and establish plans for community engagement. Part II presents the approaches and skill sets needed to do the work described in part I.Remarkably, enormous systemic problems such as climate change, poverty, disease, racism, housing, and many more issues can be best addressed at the local level. Communities can develop solutions tailored to their unique circumstances and can collaborate at a magnitude that can result in a truly transformative impact. This book shows how to make change happen.Everything You Need to Know About Renting But Didn't Know to Ask: All the Insider Dirt to Help You Get the Best Deal and Avoid Disaster

in today’s world is at an all-time high. To help counter this crisis, it is imperative for the Canadian government to determine which policies encourage volunteers to welcome asylum seekers, and which ones must be reviewed.Ordinary People, Extraordinary Actions relates the story of the St. Joseph’s Parish Refugee Outreach Committee over its thirty years in action, revealing how seemingly small decisions and actions have led to significant changes in policies and in people’s lives—and how they can do so again in the future.By helping readers—young and old, secular and faith-oriented—understand what drives individuals and communities to welcome refugees with open hearts and open arms, the authors hope to inspire people across Canada and beyond its borders to strengthen our collective willingness and ability to offer refuge as a lifesaving protection for those who need it.The Future of Open Data (Law, Technology, and Media)
Par Michael Geist, Tenille Brown, Haewon Chung, Sarah Greene, Peter Johnson, Elizabeth Judge, Tracey Lauriault, Ian Parfitt, Fernando Perini, Claus Rinner, Renee Sieber, Christine Varga, Lisa Ward Mather. 2021
The Future of Open Data est issu d’un projet de recherche en partenariat subventionné pendant plusieurs années par le Conseil…
de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH) qui vise à explorer les données gouvernementales géospatiales ouvertes dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. Les chercheurs associés à cette subvention ont adopté une perspective critique en sciences sociales basée sur l’impératif voulant que la recherche devrait être pertinente à la fois pour le gouvernement et pour les partenaires de la société civile œuvrant dans ce domaine.Cet ouvrage s’appuie sur les connaissances développées durant la période de validité de la subvention et soulève la question : « Quel est l’avenir des données ouvertes ? » Les collaborateurs partagent leurs idées à propos de l’avenir des données ouvertes à la suite d’observations et de recherches menées pendant cinq ans sur la communauté des données ouvertes canadiennes selon une perspective critique de ce qui pourrait et ce qui devrait arriver dans un contexte où évoluent les efforts concernant les données ouvertes.Chaque chapitre de ce livre aborde une diversité d’enjeux tout en s’appuyant sur des perspectives disciplinaires ou interdisciplinaires. Le premier chapitre retrace les origines des données ouvertes au Canada et la manière dont la situation a évolué jusqu’à aujourd’hui, en tenant compte du croisement entre le mouvement de souveraineté des données autochtones et les données ouvertes. Quelques chapitres se penchent sur certains dangers et sur les possibilités des données ouvertes, à leurs limites et même aux responsabilités qui s’y rattachent. Une autre série de chapitres examine les horizons appropriés pour les données ouvertes, incluant les données ouvertes dans le Sud global, les priorités des gouvernements locaux en matière de données et le contexte émergent des données ouvertes dans les milieux ruraux.Far from being restricted to barbed wire camps or within the borders of a single nation, the detention of German…
soldiers remains a little-known part of history in the specific context of the triangular relationships between Ottawa, Washington, D.C., and London.It is from this perspective that the book Comment traiter les « soldats d’Hitler ? » (How to Treat “Hitler’s Soldiers”?) explores the political dynamics between Canadian, American, and British authorities regarding the treatment of German prisoners of war. Throughout the Second World War, these Allied forces detained close to 600,000 of “Hitler’s soldiers” on their respective territories. While managed by each state, these incarceration operations raise several issues involving interallied cooperation.This detailed analysis compares the captivity regimes developed by each government according to their national prerogatives and looks at important differences in how the three North Atlantic Allies dealt with enemy soldiers. Turcotte takes stock of the countries’ common and respective policies, which stemmed from participation in joint projects, regular meetings looking to better coordinate their actions, consultations and correspondence between them, as well as discussions on problems tied to the detention of prisoners of war and the solutions put forth. It also presents each state’s position on the 1929 Geneva Convention, the forced labour of detainees, and the denazification program. The conditions of captivity for German soldiers were therefore the result of mutual influence between the three main detaining powers of the Western Front, which was shaped by each of their experience. Following this argument, the author brings to light the key role Canada played within the Allied forces at the time. Published in French.Lire la communication-monde au XXIe siècle (Hors collection)

Hallowed in course titles and leveraged in the nomenclature of international organizations, yet unfit to bring any clarification or synthesis…
that actually provides structure, the objectifying expression communication internationale has no scientific value, except as a research object. Yet, the expression bears meanings that must urgently be put into perspective, since it lends itself to discursive construct which often varies greatly according to the crossed—and often masked—interests of an ever-increasing number of actors on a global scale and based on the political-cultural fields where these tactical productions are disseminated. The first option for an enlightening approach is through the thread of an academically recognized discipline. More specifically, the introduction of information-communication science in France in 1978 opens up a corpus of theoretical approaches and epistemological questionings that are already meaningful, although they are limited to a single country. Taking notice of the multiple and sometimes competing scientific productions and collaborations that extend this time to whole continents, the crossed questioning reveals epistemological, theoretical, conceptual, and methodological inflections that support a provisional state of the research. Then, the concept of communication-monde, sketched by Armand Mattelart and elevated to the rank of structuring concept in the book, enables us to read the global stakes of communication as we step into the third millennium and acts as a decentring force against the permanent risks of ethnocentric thinking.Global Problems, Global Solutions: Prospects for a Better World

Par Julie K. Brown. 2021
The New York Times Bestseller“A gripping journalistic procedural… Spotlight meets Erin Brockovich.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times“Julie K. Brown's important…
book offers not just a definitive account of the Epstein case, but a compelling window into her own experiences as a dogged reporter at a regional newspaper, facing off against powerful interests set against her reporting.” —Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and KillDauntless journalist Julie K. Brown recounts her uncompromising and risky investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation, and the explosive reporting for the Miami Herald that finally brought him to justice while exposing the powerful people and broken system that protected him.For many years, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's penchant for teenage girls was an open secret in the high society of Palm Beach, Florida and Upper East Side, Manhattan. Charged in 2008 with soliciting prostitution from minors, Epstein was treated with unheard of leniency, dictating the terms of his non-prosecution. The media virtually ignored the failures of the criminal justice system, and Epstein's friends and business partners brushed the allegations aside. But when in 2017 the U.S Attorney who approved Epstein's plea deal, Alexander Acosta, was chosen by President Trump as Labor Secretary, reporter Julie K. Brown was compelled to ask questions.Despite her editor's skepticism that she could add a new dimension to a known story, Brown determined that her goal would be to track down the victims themselves. Poring over thousands of redacted court documents, traveling across the country and chasing down information in difficulty and sometimes dangerous circumstances, Brown tracked down dozens of Epstein's victims, now young women struggling to reclaim their lives after the trauma and shame they had endured.Brown's resulting three-part series in the Miami Herald was one of the most explosive news stories of the decade, revealing how Epstein ran a global sex trafficking pyramid scheme with impunity for years, targeting vulnerable teens, often from fractured homes and then turning them into recruiters. The outrage led to Epstein's arrest, the disappearance and eventual arrest of his closest accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Acosta. The financier's mysterious suicide in a New York City jail cell prompted wild speculation about the secrets he took to the grave-and whether his death was intentional or the result of foul play.Tracking Epstein’s evolution from a college dropout to one of the most successful financiers in the country—whose associates included Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton—Perversion of Justice builds on Brown's original award-winning series, showing the power of truth, the value of local reportage and the tenacity of one woman in the face of the deep-seated corruption of powerful men.Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying

by a dichotomous distinction between material and ideational factors and overemphasises the ‘interest versus value’ motif undergirding EU-China relations. The diplomacy and future direction of the relationship seem as opaque as their extent remains incalculably complex. This book takes us beyond binary motives by introducing a novel theoretical model of diplomatic relationship-building that brings to the fore the more nuanced and latent factors to make sense of EU-China diplomatic relationship-building; the new theory captures the ‘relational’ nature of diplomatic relationship-building by integrating the social layer of ‘intentions’ in understanding international diplomacy. This study further sheds light on the opportunities and challenges in enhancing EU-China relations, through a comparative in-depth investigation of the processes, practices and politics of EU-China climate change and agricultural-trade relations over the past two decades. The book draws on a rich collection of original data, encompassing over 100 interviews with stakeholders of EU-China relations conducted from 2015–2023; strengthened by participant observation at EU and Chinese institutional headquarters and in diplomatic fora that has taken place over the past ten years. Enriching these data are newly disclosed official minutes and documentation regarding EU-China negotiations and cooperation.This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy studies, Chinese politics, EU politics and international relations in general.
