Taylor & Francis Ltd Learning and Work and the Politics of Working
Book SynopsisLarge scale changes in work and education are a key feature of contemporary global transformations, with a pervasive politics that affects people's experiences of workplaces and learning spaces.This thought-provoking book uses empirical research to question prevailing debates surrounding compliance at work, education and lifelong learning, and emphasises the importance of debate and dissent within the current terms and conditions of work. Examining a number of types of work, including teaching, nursing and social work, through a transnational research space, the contributors investigate how disturbances in work both constrain and enable collective identities in practical politics. Structured around three main themes, the book covers: Disturbed work: with cases of occupational reform in nursing and vocational teaching in Finland and re-regulating work in Australia Disturbing work: examining contested occupational knowledge in GermaTrade Review"This thought provoking book, written in an accessible style, will be of value to social workers, educationalists and health care professionals. Contributions are made from an international arena including Finland, Germany, Australia, UK and the USA." - Megan Thomas, International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2012 Table of Contents@contents: Selected Contents: Introduction- Disturbing work and transforming politics, Terri Seddon, Lea Henriksson and Beatrix Niemeyer 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Impact of RateofReturn Regulation on
Book SynopsisThis book contends that various forms of regulation have costs as well as benefits and it examines the impact of government regulation on the innovativeness of 'monopolies' - in this book meaning firms with the power to affect market price. The government regulation analyzed in this case is limited to rate-of-return regulation. Using theoretical models such as the Averch-Johnson model and a two-stage Nash equilibrium model, this volume examines whether regulated monopolies engage in more or less technological innovation than unregulated monopolies. Furthermore, if the unregulated (or less regulated) monopolies do engage in more research and development than regulated ones, it questions whether social welfare would be greater with the former. Using a case study of ten privately-owned electric utilities in the State of Texas, USA, it then tests out the general propositions brought forward by the theoretical modelling and finally makes its conclusions taking into consideration both thTrade Review’This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with technological change and/or the impact of public policy on growth...In addition to its application to rate-of-return regulation, the reader will find this book suggestive for further research into the impact upon technological change of other forms of regulation.’ Professor Barry J. Seldon, University of Texas, USA ’This book has provided a thorough overview and interesting extension of the impact of government regulation on innovativeness.’ Review of Industrial OrganisationTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; The rate of return regulation; The Averch-Johnson model; Augmented Averch-Johnson; Research joint ventures; Evidence from electric utilities in Texas; Implications and conclusions; Bibliography; Index.
