Dans l'imaginaire collectif occidental, Vladimir Poutine est un
personnage sournois et complotant constamment pour détruire ses
ennemis dans le monde entier. Mais comment un officier intermédiaire
du KGB sans distinction est-il devenu l'un des dirigeants les plus
puissants de l'histoire russe ? Dans quelle mesure sa posture de
leader intraitable est-elle une performance calculée ? Dans Tsar par
accident, Andrew S. Weiss, un ancien expert russe de la Maison
Blanche, et Brian Brown montrent dans un roman graphique captivant
comment Poutine s'est présenté avec succès comme un cerveau politique
rusé et hors du commun, et comment le reste du monde a interagi avec
lui en l'estimant comme tel. Ils brisent tous ces mythes en révélant
la vérité derrière la personnalité d'homme fort qu'il a passé sa
carrière à cultiver. -

Working with Qualitative Data
William Gibson, Andrew Brown
- Sage publications ltd

- 9781446202494
Working with Qualitative Data provides a practical and accessible introduction to how to develop and apply strategies for the analysis of qualitative data by exploring the ways in which analysis is related to all aspects of research.
By situating analysis in the context of the whole research process, this book helps the reader to introduce an analytical component to every stage of doing research: from designing a project, reviewing the literature, through the various stages of gathering data, to the process of writing-up. Through practical examples the book maps out strategies for developing analytic frameworks in relation to all aspects of research, and demonstrates the ways in which such frameworks can be used in relation to various sorts of data.
In contrast to existing qualitative data analysis texts, this book offers a unified approach to the process of analysis within qualitative research. It will be of great use to students and researchers across the full range of social, health and education sciences.

The Independent Director in Society

Things will always go wrong in organisations. The question is how quickly will they get caught and put right?
The problem facing every organisation today - our businesses, universities, health services, or the many other sporting and charitable institutions that shape our society - is that the relationship between their executive management and those whose job it is to oversee them (whether they are called non-executive or independent directors, trustees, or governors) has become unbalanced.
The Independent Director in Society shows how to rebalance it.
Based on original, in-depth research from Henley Business School, this is the first book to survey and analyse the governance crisis right across society rather than just focus upon the business sector. The authors show that - despite their many differences - all organisations have many issues, behaviours and problems in common. The same problems require, in many cases, the same solutions. Sometimes they don't.
The authors offer two answers. The first lies in the realm of policy. Not a need for more legislation, but a move to give the existing codes of practice back their teeth and make them fit for purpose.
The second lies with independent directors themselves. Urgent improvement is needed in standards of thought and action as well as the calibre of these directors. Above all, directors need to develop an independent mindset that will enable them to make better, more accurate decisions.
There are many elements to creating this culture, including selection, training and education for directors, and support from chairs and executive teams, but most of all directors themselves must recognise their responsibilities in a complex and volatile world. -
Agency, Norms, Inquiry, and Artifacts: Essays in Honor of Risto Hilpinen
Mark A. Brown, Paul Mcnamara, Andrew J. I. Jones
- Springer

The book contains a collection of chapters written by experts from the fields of philosophy, law, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence who pay tribute to Professor Risto Hilpinen's impressive work on the logic of induction, on deontic logic and epistemology, and on philosophy of science.In addition to an introduction by the editors, a section on Professor Hilpinen's positions, professional services and honors, as well as a complete bibliography of his writings, the editors, McNamara, Jones and Brown, have compiled a multidisciplinary global cross-section of academic contemporaries that provides insights and perspectives on Hilpinen's influence and legacy.The essays reflect central aspects of Risto Hilpinen's research interests, and offer further contributions to some of the philosophical fields for which he is best known: applied modal logic, including deontic logic (from the ancient Greek d??? déon, pertaining to the concepts of duty and obligation), the semantics of normative language, the logic of action, and the theory of practical reasoning; the analysis of the concept of artifact; and the theory of semiotics in the tradition of Charles Peirce. The presence in the collection of several papers relating to deontic logic underlines Hilpinen's importance in that area, in which his publications have long been recognized as standard works. The book is an essential collection of ideas for all those who feel at home in a variety of formal disciplines, from propositional logic to the logic of artificial intelligence.
