Accounting for Culture
Author: Caroline Andrew
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 0776618636
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Migration Matters to everybody - individuals, families, groups, societies, cultures, and governments - because globalism is pushing the world, boundaries are contested, localities are changing, and hundreds of millions of people are relocating. Authors from Australia, EU countries, and Israel explore: struggles for social rights, personhood, and citizenship based on contribution to community contradictions between regulations and responsibilities for refugees, resulting in return of many people to countries where they are in mortal danger multi-cultural populations, challenges of transition and resettlement newcomers' efforts to retain identity and patterns of culture, sometimes producing culture conflicts and stress needs for host countries to adjust to shifting shapes of their societies active citizenship through commitment and participation extreme distress due to vast cultural differences generating homicide. In this timely and significant contribution to global understanding of migration dynamics, authors define needs for holistic responses to migration issues, and seek pathways to greater harmony and wellbeing in transitions.

Evaluating Second Language Education
Author: J. Charles Alderson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521422697
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
"Counter Responsibility for planning language teaching programs now carries with it a strong element of accountability. Evaluation of the whole process of course design, development, and implementation is therefore a necessary area of activity for course designers, language planners, and researchers. This book brings together accounts of recent work in this increasingly important field and will be a valuable resource both for those already engaged in evaluation and for those in training. Part One presents a review of the literature, covering past developments in the wider field of educational evaluation, as well as specifically in second language education. Part Two contains a series of eight original case-studies, written by scholars involved in evaluations in widely divergent settings. The focus in each case is on how the evaluator addresses the difficulties central to each study, and the findings are also included. The final Part Three provides practical guidance for evaluators, offering suggestions about how to set up and carry out evaluations in any given setting."--Publisher's website.

Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319070614
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en

Book Description
This book deals with the application of wavelet and spectral methods for the analysis of nonlinear and dynamic processes in economics and finance. It reflects some of the latest developments in the area of wavelet methods applied to economics and finance. The topics include business cycle analysis, asset prices, financial econometrics, and forecasting. An introductory paper by James Ramsey, providing a personal retrospective of a decade's research on wavelet analysis, offers an excellent overview over the field.

A Time Series Approach to Option Pricing
Author: Christophe Chorro
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3662450372
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
The current world financial scene indicates at an intertwined and interdependent relationship between financial market activity and economic health. This book explains how the economic messages delivered by the dynamic evolution of financial asset returns are strongly related to option prices. The Black Scholes framework is introduced and by underlining its shortcomings, an alternative approach is presented that has emerged over the past ten years of academic research, an approach that is much more grounded on a realistic statistical analysis of data rather than on ad hoc tractable continuous time option pricing models. The reader then learns what it takes to understand and implement these option pricing models based on time series analysis in a self-contained way. The discussion covers modeling choices available to the quantitative analyst, as well as the tools to decide upon a particular model based on the historical datasets of financial returns. The reader is then guided into numerical deduction of option prices from these models and illustrations with real examples are used to reflect the accuracy of the approach using datasets of options on equity indices.
