Tending the Flame of Democracy
Author: Geoffrey Whitehead
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595302858
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Geoffrey Whitehead believes that the West has been selling itself short, in terms of world opinion, because of market failures in the communications industry over recent decades. He argues that more must be done to nurture democracy at home if the case for democracy is to be advocated successfully as a workable model to others. This book therefore looks ahead to the needs of people as citizens, not just as consumers, between now and 2025, and says that national governments need to re-visit their policies urgently in the wake of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the US. Geoffrey Whitehead has worked internationally in communications, both as a print, radio and television journalist, including time as Reuters Whitehall Correspondent and as the BBC's Deputy Political Editor at Westminster, England, before becoming chief executive of Radio New Zealand and then of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). He gained a Diploma in International Affairs at London University, and has now applied his research for a Master of International Relations degree at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand to his practical experience in the communications industry in three countries: Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Category : History
Languages : en

Book Description
This is the story of a sport told through its communities. Rugby League in New Zealand: A People’s History unveils the compelling journey of a game flourishing against the odds. Beginning with the game’s introduction to the country in 1907, Ryan Bodman reveals the deep-rooted connections between rugby league’s development and the evolving cultural fabric of New Zealand. By questioning the mythic status of rugby union in the nation’s identity, this history highlights how power, politics and people have collectively shaped the country’s sporting scene. Drawing on first-hand interviews and a wide range of illustrations and archival material, Bodman locates rugby league history in working-class suburbs, and among Kiingitanga Māori, Pasifika migrants, and clubs and communities across the country. The people behind the game share accounts of change, triumph and resilience, while emphasising rugby league’s lasting influence on New Zealanders’ lives.

Michael Jordan, Inc.
Author: David L. Andrews
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791490335
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Michael Jordan, Inc. seeks to make sense of a celebrated figure whose public existence illuminates a late capitalist order defined by the convergence of corporate and media interests. Using Michael Jordan as a vehicle for viewing the broader social, economic, political, and technological concerns that frame contemporary culture, the contributors focus on celebrity economy, corporate culture, identity politics, and the global marketplace—foundational pillars of contemporary cultural existence. They provide an introduction to late capitalism's pervasive and invasive cult of celebrity, examine the innovative corporate connections (particularly Jordan's association with Nike) largely responsible for Jordan's aggressively commodified being, excavate the cultural politics imbued within the racialized and sexualized nature of Jordan's identity, and demonstrate the global reach and influence that has accompanied the concerted commodification of Jordan by transnational corporations. This anthology represents both an intellectual expression of, and a political commitment to, the fact that Michael Jordan matters.

The Centrelink Experiment
Author: John Halligan
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1921536438
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Centrelink was established in 1997 as part of the Howard government's bold experiment in re-framing social policy and re-shaping service delivery. Centrelink was the embodiment of a key tenet of the Howard vision for public service: a specialised service delivery 'provider' agency separated from the policy functions of the 'purchaser'. Carved out of a monolithic Department of Social Security, Centrelink was established along 'business lines' operating 320 service centres and delivering payments to 10 million Australians. Although enjoying 'monopoly provider' status, the organisation was required to deliver services to many different clients on behalf of its 'purchasing departments' (up to 25 in total) under the terms of quasi-contractual service agreements. It was meant to demonstrate a greater level of both transparency and accountability for the administration of payments amounting to over $60 billion of Commonwealth expenditure. For many years there was a real 'buzz' around the Centrelink experiment and staff and clients were generally enthusiastic about the transformation. However, after around eight years, the experiment was reined in and Centrelink was placed under closer ministerial direction and under a new managing department. The experiment continues, but its trajectory reflects the different pressures impacting on such dedicated 'services delivery agencies'. John Halligan, Professor of Government at the University of Canberra, is a foremost Australian expert on public sector governance and has published extensively on the evolution, form and behaviour of the public sectors in Australia and overseas. This volume is the culmination of an exhaustive empirical study of the origins and experience of 'the Centrelink Experiment'. I commend this book to researchers, policy practitioners and students with an interest in policy innovation, change management and the realpolitik of public sector reform.

Contemporary World Television
Author: Graeme Turner
Publisher: British Film Institute
ISBN: 9781844570102
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
What is happening today in the world of world television? With intense commercialization and more open national markets, along with technological convergence and greater concentration of ownership, the international TV landscape is changing at a bewildering pace and in a host of different ways. "Contemporary World Television "presents a unique overview of the global issues raised by these transformations in television. It looks at how they have affected the public interest and society across the globe and how the role of television as a nation-builder is experiencing erosion and evolution. The book's host of international expert contributors also examine TV's handling of news, and sexual content and its role in military conflicts. As well, they provide current assessments of how the global trends have diversely affected many different countries, regions, or language communities outside the Anglophone mainstream. Fully illustrated, the book also uses case studies and selected reading guides and thus provides a transparent and accessible but in-depth introduction to central developments, issues, and concerns in contemporary world television.
