Cambridge University Press Almost All About Unit Roots : Foundations, Developments, And Applications
33.12 GBP
Many economic theories depend on the presence or absence of a unit root for their validity, and econometric and statistical theory undergo considerable changes when unit roots are present.Thus, knowledge on unit roots has become so important, necessitating an extensive, compact, and nontechnical book on this subject.This book is rested on this motivation and introduces the literature on unit roots in a comprehensive manner to both empirical and theoretical researchers in economics and other areas.By providing a clear, complete, and critical discussion of unit root literature, In Choi covers a wide range of topics, including uniform confidence interval construction, unit root tests allowing structural breaks, mildly explosive processes, exuberance testing, fractionally integrated processes, seasonal unit roots and panel unit root testing.Extensive, up to date, and readily accessible, this book is a comprehensive reference source on unit roots for both students and applied workers.

Cambridge University Press Trade In Knowledge : Intellectual Property, Trade And Development In A Transformed Global Economy
40.48 GBP
Technological change has transformed the ways knowledge is developed and shared internationally.Accordingly, in the quarter-century since the WTO was established, and since its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights came into force, both the knowledge dimension of trade and the functioning of the IP system have been radically transformed.The need to understand and respond to this change has placed knowledge at the centre of policy debates about economic and social development.Recognizing the need for modern analytical tools to support policymakers and analysts, this publication draws together contributions from a diverse range of scholars and analysts.Together, they offer a fresh understanding of what it means to trade in knowledge in today's technological and commercial environment.The publication offers insights into the prospects for knowledge-based development and ideas for updated systems of governance that promote the creation and sharing of the benefits of knowledge.
Cambridge University Press The Development Of The Rule Of Law In Asean : The State And Regional Integration
100.28 GBP
An interdisciplinary work that comparatively studies rule of law practices and the relationship between the rule of law and regional integration, a topic largely explored in European integration.By looking at the function of the rule of law in ASEAN rather than what it 'means' measured on normative conception, the book situates the rule of law in broader institutional and political processes in the member states and in regional relations to show the motivations of member states in adopting a peculiar type of regional architecture.It asks whether forging the rule of law in the region can help build it internally for member states.The book revisits discourses on the 'spill-over' of economic integration, the impact of globalization in reshaping the state and generating new tools of the rule of law.It makes a comprehensive comparison - the European Union, Africa Union and MERCOSUR - showing the uneven pathways to rule of law in various contexts.
Cambridge University Press Language Development And Social Integration Of Students With English As An Additional Language
25.14 GBP
Given the current context of the experience of migration on schools in England and Europe, and the competing policies and approaches to social integration in schools, there is a need to understand the connection between language development and social integration as a basis for promoting appropriate policies and practices.This volume explores the complex relationship between language, education and the social integration of newcomer migrant children in England, through an in-depth analysis of case studies from schools in the East of England.The authors set this evidence against the background of policy debates in the wider international setting, including a critical discussion of assumptions underlying national narratives of mainstreaming and assimilation.In the light of an absence of national guidelines for appropriate practice in schools, the authors outline a model of inclusive pedagogy for English as an additional language (EAL) and a framework of home-school communication to promote effective EAL parental engagement in schools.
Cambridge University Press Higher Education Reform And Development: The Case Of Kazakhstan
34.73 GBP
A collaborative series with the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education highlighting leading-edge research across Teacher Education, International Education Reform and Language Education. The Kazakhstan government has sought to radically overhaul its education system, moving from a highly centralised system to one that allows for more institutional autonomy and responsiveness at the local level.This book investigates the key reforms involved, including increasing the academic and fiscal autonomy of universities, the creation of a world-class university, and the implementation of a large-scale international scholarship programme.The case of Kazakhstan underscores the significant challenges of enacting reforms, which require new policies and structures and an entirely new set of assumptions about academic quality, the work of universities, and the role of education in society.

Cambridge University Press Temperament And Child Development In Context
20.55 GBP
Children's temperament is a central individual characteristic that has significant implications, directly and indirectly, for their social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and health outcomes, through its evocative and moderating effects on other social and contextual influences.Accounting for these contextual influences is critical to articulating the role of temperament in children's development.This Element defines temperament and describes its roots in neurobiological systems as well as its relevance to children's developmental outcomes, with a focus on understanding the influence of temperament in children's social and environmental contexts.It covers key developmental periods, situating the contribution of temperament to children's development in complex and changing processes and contexts from infancy through adolescence.The Element concludes by underscoring the value of integrating contextual, relational, and dynamic systems approaches and pointing to future directions in temperament research and application.
Cambridge University Press Organizing Against Democracy : The Local Organizational Development Of Far Right Parties In Greece And Europe
29.44 GBP
Organizing Against Democracy investigates some of the most important challenges modern democracies face, filling a distinctive gap in the literature, both empirically and theoretically.Ellinas examines the attempts of three of the most extreme European far-right parties to establish roots in local societies, and the responses of democratic actors.He offers a theory of local party development to analyze the many factors affecting the evolution of far-right parties at the subnational level.Using extraordinarily rich data, the author examines the 'lives' of local far-right party organizations in Greece, Germany and Slovakia, studying thousands of party activities and interviewing dozens of party leaders and functionaries, and antifascists.He goes on to explore how and why extreme parties succeed in some local settings while, in others, they fail.This book broadens our understanding of right-wing extremism, illuminating the factors limiting its corrosiveness.
Cambridge University Press Complexity Economics And Sustainable Development : A Computational Framework For Policy Priority Inference
32.19 GBP
The Sustainable Development Goals are global objectives set by the UN.They cover fundamental issues in development such as poverty, education, economic growth, and climate.Despite growing data across policy dimensions, popular statistical approaches offer limited solutions as these datasets are not big or detailed enough to meet their technical requirements.Complexity Economics and Sustainable Development provides a novel framework to handle these challenging features, suggesting that complexity science, agent-based modelling, and computational social science can overcome these limitations.Building on interdisciplinary socioeconomic theory, it provides a new framework to quantify the link between public expenditure and development while accounting for complex interdependencies and public governance.Accompanied by comprehensive data of worldwide development indicators and open-source code, it provides a detailed construction of the analytic toolkit, familiarising readers with a diverse set of empirical applications and drawing policy implications that are insightful to a diverse readership.
Cambridge University Press Cultures Of Programming : The Development Of Programming Concepts And Methodologies
78.2 GBP
What defines a correct program? What education makes a good programmer? The answers to these questions depend on whether programs are seen as mathematical entities, engineered socio-technical systems or media for assisting human thought.Programmers have developed a wide range of concepts and methodologies to construct programs of increasing complexity.This book shows how those concepts and methodologies emerged and developed from the 1940s to the present.It follows several strands in the history of programming and interprets key historical moments as interactions between five different cultures of programming.Rooted in disciplines such as mathematics, electrical engineering, business management or psychology, the different cultures of programming have exchanged ideas and given rise to novel programming concepts and methodologies.They have also clashed about the nature of programming; those clashes remain at the core of many questions about programming today.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Cambridge University Press A Bit Too Simple : Narratives Of Development, Sustainability And Climate Change
50.6 GBP
Narratives like those portraying development workers as heroes and local populations as victims needing to be saved from their own unsustainable practices have led to problematic policies and interventions.Based on fieldwork across four continents, this Element critically analyzes such metanarratives.First, it demonstrates the ways their simplifying, universalistic narrative plots fail to capture more complex lived realities.Second, it argues that such metanarratives on development are converging with influential metanarratives on climate change and sustainability, thereby strengthening hierarchical geopolitical mindsets.Third, it uncovers how the emergence of for-profit sustainability superhero metanarratives reinforces universalistic development logics by combining these logics with global business management logics.The Element concludes that a multiplicity of locally grounded stories and related forms of agency must be mobilized and recognized so that policy and practice are premised upon lived realities, not abstract and unrealistic global imaginaries.This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Cambridge University Press Development Subjectivities, Governmentality, And Migration Management In The Pacific
20.55 GBP
To advance the debates around temporary migration in the Pacific, a governmentality framework contributes to understanding social and historical relations produced by migration management at regional, country, and individual scales.The Recognised Seasonal Employer's (RSE) scheme, the Pacific epitome of regulated migration, temporarily recruits participants from labour-rich countries to work in New Zealand's horticulture and viticulture sectors.Driven by agricultural labour shortfalls, it was conceived and promoted as a development intervention for Pacific countries, and is regularly claimed to provide a 'triple win' for employers and industry, Pacific countries via remittances, and participants' communities.Missing from these claims is an understanding of how seasonal migration fits into new migration management regimes, and the instruments deployed to enable this omission.To appreciate how workers' subjectivities are transformed to favour labour mobility, the spotlight is on the scheme's articulation as a development instrument, its operationalisation, and the mundane day-to-day situations it entails.
Cambridge University Press Teachers Learning : Professional Development And Education
31.23 GBP
A collaborative series with the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education highlighting leading-edge research across Teacher Education, International Education Reform and Language Education.

Cambridge University Press Education For All? : Literature, Culture And Education Development In Britain And Denmark
78.2 GBP
Why did Denmark develop mass education for all in 1814, while Britain created a public-school system only in 1870 that primarily educated academic achievers?Cathie Jo Martin argues that fiction writers and their literary narratives inspired education campaigns throughout the nineteenth-century.Danish writers imagined mass schools as the foundation for a great society and economic growth.Their depictions fortified the mandate to educate all people and showed neglecting low-skill youth would waste societal resources and threaten the social fabric.Conversely, British authors pictured mass education as harming social stability, lower-class work, and national culture.Their stories of youths who overcame structural injustices with individual determination made it easier to blame students who failed to seize educational opportunities.Novel and compelling, Education for All? uses a multidisciplinary perspective to offer a unique gaze into historical policymaking.This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access.Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
Cambridge University Press Metalinguistic Awareness In Second Language Reading Development
20.55 GBP
This Element aims to address the complexity of metalinguistic awareness to achieve a thorough account of its impacts on second language (L2) reading development and promote an in-depth understanding of the factors regulating the influence of first language (L1) metalinguistic awareness on L2 reading.It is guided by four questions: 1) To what extent do L1 phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness correlate with L2 phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness in L2 readers? 2) To what extent do phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness correlate with word decoding intralingually in L2 readers? 3) To what extent do L1 phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness correlate with L2 word decoding in L2 readers? 4) To what extent do the relations in questions 1–3 vary as a function of linguistic-, learner-, measurement-, and instruction-related factors?This Element is the first to systematically investigate the roles of distinct facets of metalinguistic awareness in L2 reading.
Cambridge University Press Of Limits And Growth : The Rise Of Global Sustainable Development In The Twentieth Century
38.64 GBP
Of Limits and Growth connects three of the most important aspects of the twentieth century: decolonization, the rise of environmentalism, and the United States' support for economic development and modernization in the Third World.It links these trends by revealing how environmental NGOs challenged and reformed the development approaches of the US government, World Bank, and United Nations from the 1960s through the 1990s.The book shows how NGOs promoted the use of 'appropriate' technologies, environmental reviews in the lending process, development plans based on ecological principles, and international cooperation on global issues such as climate change.It also reveals that the 'sustainable development' concept emerged from transnational negotiations in which environmentalists accommodated the developmental aspirations of Third World intellectuals and leaders.In sum, Of Limits and Growth offers a new history of sustainability by elucidating the global origins of environmental activism, the ways in which environmental activists challenged development approaches worldwide, and how environmental non-state actors reshaped the United States' and World Bank's development policies.
Cambridge University Press The Development Of Children'S Memory : The Scientific Contributions Of Peter A. Ornstein
28.83 GBP
This book provides an understanding of memory development through an examination of the scientific contributions of eminent developmental scientist Peter A. Ornstein. His fifty-year career not only coincided with but also contributed to a period of extraordinary progress in the understanding of children's memory.The volume describes this historical context, constructs a theoretical structure for understanding memory development, and emphasizes research applications for educational and forensic practice. Organized around Ornstein's four influential research programs in children's memory strategies, children's event memory, family socialization of memory, and classroom socialization of memory, the chapters examine contemporary directions in each area, with commentaries addressing each program provided by internationally renowned developmental psychologists.The book presents a comprehensive overview of memory development for psychologists and educators at all levels of training and practice, and also provides a model of a generative life in science.
Cambridge University Press Speech Acts In English : From Research To Instruction And Textbook Development
26.99 GBP
Speech acts, those actions carried out mainly by means of language, are used in English in a range of complex ways.However, they have rarely been covered in English as a foreign language (EFL) materials and textbooks.Bringing together current theories from pragmatics and cognitive linguistics, this book addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive model of directive speech acts and showing how to teach them to learners of English.It provides a review of the strengths and weaknesses of current theories of illocution and a critical assessment of existing EFL textbooks.Descriptions of the meaning and form of directive speech act constructions are given in the cognitive pedagogical grammar of directive speech acts (included), which offers a wealth of examples to make the information accessible to non-specialist readers.The book also provides a wide range of practical activities, showing how research on illocutionary acts can be implemented in practice.
Cambridge University Press The Development Of Mature Walking
46 GBP
This important monograph summarizes a comprehensive study on the maturation of walking in normal children.Research, undertaken at one of the world's leading gait analysis centers, involved over 400 studies on a total of nearly 300 children in ten age-groups from one to seven years.Data are presented on anthropometric measurements; tests of developmental progress; time/distance parameters such as stride length and walking velocity; twelve joint angles on each side measured throughout the gait cycle; dynamic electromyography of phasic activity in seven lower-extremity muscle groups; and force measurements including vertical force, fore/aft shear, medial/lateral shear and torque.At each age, composite joint-angle graphs and time/distance parameters are brought together with film tracings of a representative child in that age group.In addition, advanced methods of statistical analysis have been applied to the joint-angle data to define prediction regions within which ninety-five percent of normal children should lie throughout the gait cycle. Finally, a 'decision tree' is presented from which a fitted age can be inferred for a subject based on non-age-specific data gathered in a motion analysis lab.Practical applications are demonstrated in a chapter devoted to two case studies.
Cambridge University Press The Development And Organization Of Meaning : How Individual Worldviews Develop In Relationships
25.76 GBP
Drawing from extensive developmental research, this book highlights the significance of meaning in shaping individual worldviews within relationships, from infancy onwards.By focusing on behavior and experience, it reshapes our understanding of pertinent psychological phenomena, tracing the emergence of self, self-regulation, causality comprehension, peer relationships, adolescent experiences, and lifelong adaptation.Using developmental psychology and compelling clinical cases, the authors emphasize the central role of 'meaning' as a unifying theme, addressing diverse topics such as resilience, intergenerational behavior patterns, trauma impacts, and existential meaning.Ideal for students and professionals in psychology, counselling, and social work, as well as researchers and clinicians in related fields, this book integrates existing theories and empirical evidence to illuminate various aspects of human development and adaptation.
Cambridge University Press Forensic Linguistics In The Philippines : Origins, Developments, And Directions
20.55 GBP
This Element offers a critical review of forensic linguistic studies in the Philippines.The studies within, collected over a period of eight to nine years, reveal relevant themes from texts in courtroom proceedings, legal writings, and police investigations.The studies also delve into issues of language choice and language policy.The Element begins with a description of language policy in the Philippines, focusing specifically on language in the legal domain.The main body of the Element is the critical review of Philippine forensic linguistics studies.This critical review takes a sociolinguistic stance, in that issues of language and law are discussed from the lens of social meanings and social practice.From this critical review of forensic linguistics studies, the authors hope to chart future directions for forensic linguistic studies and research in the Philippines.

Cambridge University Press The Making Of An Alliance : The Origins And Development Of The Us-Israel Relationship
26.99 GBP
Laying the foundation for an understanding of US-Israeli relations, this lively and accessible book provides critical background on the origins and development of the 'special' relations between Israel and the United States.Questioning the usual neo-realist approach to understanding this relationship, David Tal instead suggests that the relations between the two nations were constructed on idealism, political culture, and strategic ties.Based on a diverse range of primary sources collected in archives in both Israel and the United States, The Making of an Alliance discusses the development of relations built through constant contact between people and ideas, showing how presidents and Prime Ministers, state officials, and ordinary people from both countries, impacted one another.It was this constancy of religion, values, and history, serving the bedrock of the relations between the two countries and peoples, over which the ephemeral was negotiated.
Cambridge University Press Ai Development And The ‘fuzzy Logic' Of Chinese Cyber Security And Data Laws
26.68 GBP
The book examines the extent to which Chinese cyber and network security laws and policies act as a constraint on the emergence of Chinese entrepreneurialism and innovation.Specifically, how the contradictions and tensions between data localisation laws (as part of Network Sovereignty policies) affect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI).The book surveys the globalised R&D networks, and how the increasing use of open-source platforms by leading Chinese AI firms during 2017–2020, exacerbated the apparent contradiction between Network Sovereignty and Chinese innovation.The drafting of the Cyber Security Law did not anticipate the changing nature of globalised AI innovation.It is argued that the deliberate deployment of what the book refers to as 'fuzzy logic' in drafting the Cyber Security Law allowed regulators to subsequently interpret key terms regarding data in that Law in a fluid and flexible fashion to benefit Chinese innovation.
Cambridge University Press Prioritizing Development : A Cost Benefit Analysis Of The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
40.48 GBP
This book is a unique guide to making the world a better place.Experts apply a critical eye to the United Nations' Sustainable Development agenda, also known as the Global Goals, which will affect the flow of $2.5 trillion of development aid up until 2030.Renowned economists, led by Bjorn Lomborg, determine what pursuing different targets will cost and achieve in social, environmental and economic benefits.There are 169 targets, covering every area of international development – from health to education, sanitation to conflict.Together, these analyses make the case for prioritizing the most effective development investments.A panel of Nobel Laureate economists identify a set of 19 phenomenal development targets, and argue that this would achieve as much as quadrupling the global aid budget.

Cambridge University Press Explaining Tort And Crime : Legal Development Across Laws And Legal Systems, 1850-2020
91.08 GBP
Tracing almost 200 years of history, Explaining Tort and Crime explains the development of tort law and criminal law in England compared with other legal systems.Referencing legal systems from around the globe, it uses innovative comparative and historical methods to identify patterns of legal development, to investigate the English law of fault doctrine across tort and crime, and to chart and explain three procedural interfaces: criminal powers to compensate, timing rules to control parallel actions, and convictions as evidence in later civil cases.Matthew Dyson draws on decades of research to offer an analysis of the field, examining patterns of legal development, visible as motifs in the law of many legal systems.
Cambridge University Press Norms In Human Development
92 GBP
The distinction between norms and facts is long-standing in providing a challenge for psychology.Norms exist as directives, commands, rules, customs and ideals, playing a constitutive role in human action and thought.Norms lay down 'what has to be' (the necessary, possible or impossible) and 'what has to be done' (the obligatory, the permitted or the forbidden) and so go beyond the 'is' of causality.During two millennia, norms made an essential contribution to accounts of the mind, yet the twentieth century witnessed an abrupt change in the science of psychology where norms were typically either excluded altogether or reduced to causes.The central argument in this book is twofold. Firstly, the approach in twentieth-century psychology is flawed.Secondly, norms operating interdependently with causes can be investigated empirically and theoretically in cognition, culture and morality.Human development is a norm-laden process.
Cambridge University Press Agriculture And The Trade Agenda : Creating A Global Trading Environment For Development
115 GBP
Negotiating the liberalization of world agricultural trade in the World Trade Organization (WTO) is fraught with difficulty due to the complexity of the issues and the wide range of interests across countries.In the round of global trade negotiations under the WTO, different perspectives on trade reform have produced a highly contentious agenda.These issues are addressed from a range of perspectives in this survey of the trade agenda and its implications for both developing and developed countries.Agricultural trade specialists, including those in universities, in international organizations and think tanks, analyse a comprehensive range of topics including interests and options in the WTO trade negotiations, the trade agenda from a development patent perspective, WTO trade rules, trade barriers, tariff negotiations and patent protection for developing countries.
Cambridge University Press Animal Anomalies : What Abnormal Anatomies Reveal About Normal Development
34.96 GBP
Among the offspring of humans and other animals are occasional individuals that are malformed in whole or in part.The most grossly abnormal of these have been referred to from ancient times as monsters, because their birth was thought to foretell doom; the less severely affected are usually known as anomalies.This volume digs deeply into the cellular and molecular processes of embryonic development that go awry in such exceptional situations.It focuses on the physical mechanisms of how genes instruct cells to build anatomy, as well as the underlying forces of evolution that shaped these mechanisms over eons of geologic time.The narrative is framed in a historical perspective that should help students trying to make sense of these complex subjects.Each chapter is written in the style of a Sherlock Holmes story, starting with the clues and ending with a solution to the mystery.
Cambridge University Press Zimbabwe'S Diamond Trade : The State, Resource Politics And Development
87.4 GBP
What happens when states experience a rapid increase in resource wealth?This book examines the significant diamond find in eastern Zimbabwe in 2006, possibly the largest in over 100 years, and its influence on the institutional trajectory of the country.Nathan Munier examines how this rapid increase in resource production shaped the policies available to political actors, providing a fresh understanding of the perpetuation of ZANU-PF rule and the variation in the trajectory of institutions in Zimbabwe compared to other Southern African states.This study places Zimbabwe amongst the overall population of resource-wealthy countries such as such as Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, especially those that experience a significant increase in production.In doing so, Munier contributes to the understanding of resource politics, political economy, and comparative African politics.
Cambridge University Press Iran'S Reconstruction Jihad : Rural Development And Regime Consolidation After 1979
97.52 GBP
Based on over one hundred and thirty interviews with government officials, revolutionary activists, war veterans, and development experts, this is the first full length study in English to examine the significant yet understudied organization and ministry, Reconstruction Jihad, as a basis for understanding the political and social changes and continuities that have transpired in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) over the last four decades.Exploring the success of the Iranian revolution, the state's development policies, its overall resilience and the conflicting dynamics of its attempts to mobilize and institutionalize activists, Iran's Reconstruction Jihad is one of the few studies that adopts an institutionalist approach toward analyzing critical aspects of the IRI's history and politics, with comparative implications for analyzing revolutionary processes and outcomes across other geographic regions and time periods.
Cambridge University Press Justice For Resilient Development In Climate-Stressed Cities
19.63 GBP
Climate impacts and risk, within and across cities, are distributed highly unequally.Cities located in low latitudes are more vulnerable to climate risk and impacts than in high latitudes, due to the large proportion of informal settlements relative to the housing stock and more frequent extremes.According to EM-DAT, about 60% of environmental disasters in cities relate to riverine floods.Riverine floods and heatwaves cause about 33% of deaths in cities.However, cold-waves and droughts impact most people in cities (42% and 39% of all people, respectively).Human vulnerability intersects with hazardous, underserved communities.Frequently affected groups include women, single parents, and low-income elderly.Responses to climatic events are conditioned by the informality of social fabric and institutions, and by inequitable distribution of impacts, decision-making, and outcomes.To ensure climate-resilient development, adaptation and mitigation actions must include the broader urban context of informality and equity and justice principles. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Cambridge University Press The Unbound Prometheus : Technological Change And Industrial Development In Western Europe From 1750 To The Present

For over thirty years David S. Landes's The Unbound Prometheus has offered an unrivalled history of industrial revolution and economic development in Europe.Now, in this updated edition, the author reframes and reasserts his original arguments in the light of debates about globalisation and comparative economic growth.The book begins with a classic account of the characteristics, progress, and political, economic and social implications of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, France and Germany.Professor Landes here raises the much-debated question: why was Europe the first to industrialise?He then charts the economic history of the twentieth-century: the effect of the First World War in accelerating the dissolution of the old international economy; the economic crisis of 1929–32; Europe's recovery and unprecedented economic growth following the Second World War.He concludes that only by continuous industrial revolution can Europe and the world sustain itself in the years ahead.
