Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Traditionalism Conservatism And British Political Culture Routledge Revivals
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1974, this study of British political culture provides a radical critique of contemporary theories of working class deference and voting patterns. Drawing not only on previously unpublished opinion poll data but also the evidence of his own surveys, the author provides convincing evidence for his reformulation of the deference and civility themes, which he sees in terms of a theory of social order in class stratified societies. Comparative data from other European countries support this approach. The book ends with some incisive comments on the implications of the revised class perspective for comparative political research and future studies of British political culture.Table of Contents1. Political Culture and Political Explanation 2. Deference, Class and Political Behaviour 3. Civility, Hegemony and Stability 4. Political Parties and Political Culture 5. Dominant Values and Popular Beliefs 6. The Surveys: Their Purpose and Design 7. The Deferential Subject 8. Traditionalism, Social Structure and Voting 9.

Taylor & Francis Inventive Methods
Book SynopsisSocial and cultural research has changed dramatically in the last few years in response to changing conceptions of the empirical, an intensification of interest in interdisciplinary work, and the growing need to communicate with diverse users and audiences. Methods texts, however, have not kept pace with these changes.This volume provides a set of new approaches for the investigation of the contemporary world. Building on the increasing importance of methodologies that cut across disciplines, more than twenty expert authors explain the utility of 'devices' for social and cultural research â their essays cover such diverse devices as the list, the pattern, the event, the photograph, the tape recorder and the anecdote.This fascinating collection stresses the open-endedness of the social world, and explores the ways in which each device requires the user to reflect critically on the value and status of contemporary ways of making knowledge.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rise and Rise of Indicators
Book SynopsisThis book makes indicators more accessible, in terms of what they are, who created them and how they are used. It examines the subjectivity and human frailty behind these quintessentially hard' and technical measures of the world.To achieve this goal, The Rise and Rise of Indicators presents the world in terms of a selected set of indicators. The emphasis is upon the origins of the indicators and the motivation behind their creation and evolution. The ideas and assumptions behind the indicators are made transparent to demonstrate how changes to them can dramatically alter the ranking of countries that emerge. They are, after all, human constructs and thus embody human biases. The book concludes by examining the future of indicators and the author sets out some possible trajectories, including the growing emphasis on indicators as important tools in the Sustainable Development Goals that have been set for the world up until 2030.This is a valuable resource for unTrade Review"Despite all good intentions indicators remain a tricky topic for students, policy makers and public alike, and are often subject to misinterpretation. This book deals with the most common indices which now are used, or should be used, by a range of disciplines but also often find their way in the media, in an attempt to compare countries, cultures, and life philosophies. The author is among the few internationally who knows the topic so well to be able to get through self-reflection, and beyond the technicalities, to the real essence of indices." -- Ioannis Vogiatzakis, Professor and Deputy Dean, School of Pure & Applied Sciences, Open University of Cyprus"This book provides an excellent introduction to the history, context and purpose of many of the most widely used indices today. In doing so, it highlights the strength of each index as well as its weaknesses and the assumptions underlying it. Stephen Morse is an authority on indices and has published widely in this area. He writes in a clear and engaging manner that brings these indices to life and makes a technical subject accessible to all." -- Uma Kambhampati, Professor and Head of School, University of Reading, UK"This book does a remarkable and admirable job of simplifying this complexity; Stephen Morse has provided a very valuable guide to indicators for the uninitiated. The book shows the wide spectrum of application of indicators, ranging from ecological to economic, to political and health fields, and touching in detail on some commonly-used composite indices. It covers theory and design aspects, but also offers very valuable reflections on the practice and use - or mis-use - of such indicators, as well as on future developments in this field. It is an instructive textbook that will successfully encourage students to reflect more critically and constructively on these widely-used measures. It is a very useful contribution to the literature and one which I will certainly be adopting for my courses." -- Louis F Cassar, Associate Professor and Director of the Institute of Earth Systems, University of MaltaTable of ContentsForeword: Triffids as indicators 1.
