      <title>Out now: The Rise of Econometrics</title>
      <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.routledge.com/articles/out_now_the_rise_of_econometrics/" />

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>
	This January, Routledge Major Works published the new collection,<em> The Rise of Econometrics</em>. A new release from Routledge&#39;s Critical Concepts in Economics series, <em>The Rise of Econometrics</em> brings together the best and most influential scholarship on the rise of econometrics. Continue reading for an insight into the text from the collection&rsquo;s editor...</p>
<p>
	Econometrics, &lsquo;a unification of the theoretical-quantitative approach to economic problems&rsquo; (Ragnar Frisch), can be regarded as the most significant 20th century innovation in economics. Econometrics took shape mainly during the 1930s and 1940s and became a matured sub-discipline of economics in the subsequent three to four decades.</p>
<p>
	This present collection from Routledge is a fine-tuned assemblage of joint explorations and inventions from distinguished scholars over a span of eighty years. The collection is organised into four volumes in historical sequence. The first volume covers the very early period before econometrics became formalised, which forms the theme of the second volume. The subsequent expansion of econometric research is illustrated in the third volume, while the final volume documents major endeavours to reform and reshape econometrics since the 1970s.</p>
<p>
	The four volumes are selected to complement the relevant existing literature, such as econometrics textbooks, various handbooks of econometrics, as well as special topic collections. In particular, the selection aims at benefiting three groups of readers &ndash; students, applied economists and historians of economic and econometric thought &ndash; by filling in two major gaps in econometrics textbooks: lack of discussion on methodological issues and lack of full presentations of applied cases other than short illustrations of taught techniques.</p>
<p>
	Moreover, this Routledge collection provides readers not only with an extensive introduction of all the selected works, but also with several items which have not been published before &ndash; the lecture notes prepared by Ragnar Frisch for the Nordic Economic Meeting in Stockholm in 1931 and Jacques Dr&egrave;ze&rsquo;s seminal paper on Bayesian econometrics, which was circulated as a working paper in 1962. This is also the first time that English translations are made available of excerpts of Oskar Morgenstern&rsquo;s 1928 book in German on economic forecasting and Trygve Haavelmo&rsquo;s presentation in Norwegian for the 3rd Scandinavian Meeting for young social economists at Copenhagen in 1939.</p>

      <title>Published this November – a new collection from leading academics in suicide research</title>

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>
	This November saw the publication of a new title in the Major Themes in Health and Social Welfare series. Edited by two of the world&rsquo;s leading authorities, the collection brings together cutting-edge research on the increasingly major issue in the public health sector.</p>
<p>
	The consequences of suicide are far-reaching, having considerable social, economic, and emotional impact across the globe. General facts on suicide are now widely known. For instance, suicide is usually a young male act and is strongly linked with those suffering from mental disorders. Certain groups are also considered to be at a greater risk &ndash; alcoholics, migrants, the bereaved and prisoners.</p>
<p>
	Research and investigation into the causes of suicide has greatly increased in recent years. However, much of this research is highly specialized, meaning that it is difficult to obtain an understandable overview. To help make sense in the high output of research, this text brings together authoritative reference materials from across a broad field of study and research.</p>
<p>
	The collection is edited by two leading researchers in this area &ndash; Keith Hawton and Rory O&rsquo;Connor. Both Hawton and O&rsquo;Connor have built strong reputations in the field for their pioneering work research and methods.</p>
<p>
	Abouth the Editors:</p>
<p>
	<strong>Keith Hawton</strong></p>
<p>
	Professor Keith Hawton is a Consultant Psychiatrist with the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Also a Professor of Psychiatry at Oxford University, Hawton has over 35 years of work and research in the field, publishing a wealth of material on suicide and self harm throughout this time, as well as leading research into the prevention and treatment of suicide. This year, Professor Hawton received an award for lifetime achievement and outstanding contribution in research, treatment and teaching in the field of suicidology and suicide prevention.</p>
<p>
	<strong>Rory O&rsquo;Connor</strong></p>
<p>
	Rory O&rsquo;Connor works as a Professor at the University of Stirling, as well as being an honorary Professor for the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham. Professor O&rsquo;Connor leads the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory at the University of Stirling, which is the leading suicide and self harm group in Scotland with a reputation for producing high quality and innovative research.</p>

      <title>Routledge Revivals reissue &#8216;Monetary Reform in Theory and Practice&#8217;</title>
      <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.routledge.com/articles/routledge_revivals_reissue_monetary_reform_in_theory_and_practice/" />

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>
	First Published in 1936,<em> Monetary Reform in Theory and Practice</em>, considers the monetary reform movement that was first proposed and put in place following the First World War. Reissuing this December, this title considers the reform as a whole and the proposals and measures involved.</p>
<p>
	Books published under the<strong> <a href="http://www.routledge.com/reference/blog/category/routledge_revivals/" target="_blank">Routledge Revivals</a></strong> programme are reissued, out-of-print and unavailable titles, written by some of the leading academic scholars of the last 120 years.</p>
<p>
	The text considers numerous key arguments surrounding monetary reform, including how the overall impact of the reform in the period was of greater importance than each of the individual procedures that were introduced. As a recent convert to the notion of monetary reform at the time of writing, the author presents a well-balanced account of monetary reform without bias. An authority on the orthodox monetary system, Paul Einzig, an economic and political writer and journalist draws upon his wealth of knowledge and expertise as he gives the reader an insight into the tendencies and spirit of the monetary reform movement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	One of the most important aspects to be considered by the book is the view that monetary reform alone cannot achieve a desired end without considerable economic planning. The book suggests that monetary reform alone is not enough; instead he suggests the adoption of a broader perspective in order to obtain a compromise.</p>
<p>
	Although originally published in 1936, the subjects considered by the book remain as relevant as ever. For students and scholars of Economics and Finance, the theories presented in<em> Monetary Reform in Theory and Practic</em>e, provide a beneficial insight into the economy at the time of writing, as well as now.</p>

        <p>
	First published in 1930, this book deals with Byzantine art. The book considers not just the movement itself, but the significant impact it had on the subsequent history of European painting. Until now, this popular book has been out of reach and difficult to obtain.</p>
<p>
	The Revival provides the user with a detailed summary of the relationship between Byzantine art and modern art, as well as taking a detailed look at the iconoclast controversy. The book also considers how the Byzantine movement initiated the end of Hellenistic naturalism and prompted interpretational art to take its place across Europe.</p>
<p>
	In the remainder of the book, the Constantinopolitan Renascence is covered. A section of the book looks at how this event, combined with the increasing humanization of religious emotion, culminated in some key figures emerging &ndash; including Duccio and Giotto, as well as the equally important contemporaries, Mistra and Mount Athos. Throughout the third chapter of the book, there is a detailed look at the work of these influential artists. The book is concluded by finally resolving the mystery of El Greco.</p>
<p>
	An important piece of work for History of Arts and Classical Studies students and scholars, this book provides rare and extensive research on this critical period in art history across Europe, in Constantinople, Greece, Crete, Italy, and Spain.</p>
<p>
	With 94 black and white plates, the book provides the user with high quality images alongside critical evaluation and enlightening discussion on Byzantine art as a movement that has impacted artists throughout the ages.</p>

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>
	First published in 1964, this book focuses on the tour of Britain. Rather than looking at foreign tourists coming to Britain or British tourists travelling abroad, the primary focus of the book is to examine the British people who explored their native land in the three centuries from 1540 to 1840.</p>
<p>
	During this three hundred year period, it was a popular pastime for gentlemen to travel for weeks or even months around Britain, discovering their own country. The book describes both the pleasures and the hardships that these tourists endured. The book provides an account of the changing English landscape, the ever changing economy and the change in the concerns of these tourists throughout the period.<br />
	<br />
	<u><strong>About the author:</strong></u><br />
	<br />
	Esther Moir read History at Cambridge before going to Leicester as the first research student in the newly established Department of English Local History, where she worked with W.G. Hoskins and H.P.R. Finberg.<br />
	<br />
	Moir then returned to Newnham College as a Research Fellow, which allowed her access to valuable material in the University Library and the opportunity to travel further afield in search of unpublished material.<br />
	<br />
	The book, however, had nothing to do with her PhD thesis or academic teaching. Instead it was the fruits of an enthusiasm that was well in advance of its time. Landscape study then scarcely existed; Moir was, in other words, a pioneer in a field that now claims great interest.<br />

	The collection of eight titles from E. Cashmore are all previously published works from across the last thirty five years.</p>
<p>
	Titles in the collection span a broad range of topics, appealing to those particularly interested in subjects involving race relations, crime, sociology and media.</p>
<p>
	<strong>These titles are all part of the Routledge Revivals programme. The programme is designed to reissue out-of-print and unavailable titles written by leading academic scholars.</strong><br />
	<strong><u><br />
	E. Cashmore</u></strong><br />
	<br />
	A professor of Culture, Media and Sport at Staffordshire University&rsquo;s School of Health, E. Cashmore previously worked as a Professor of Sociology at the University of Tampa, Florida, as well as a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Hong Kong. Cashmore studied for his degree in Sociology at Newcastle upon Tyne Polytechnic. After completing his masters at the University of Toronto, he returned to England and began work on his PhD thesis on the rastafari movement in England in the late 1970s. This became the subject for his first published work, <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415812610/" target="_blank"><em>Rastaman</em></a>, which is just one of the titles to be reissued by Routledge Revivals.<br />
	<br />
	The remaining titles within the revived E. Cashmore collection include:<br />
	<a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415815703/" target="_blank"><em><br />
	Black Youth in Crisis</em></a> &ndash; This title studies the position of young Afro-Caribbean people in the 1980s and how they were unduly hit by high unemployment, appeared high in crime statistics and were under achieving in schools.<br />

	Black Sportsmen</em></a> &ndash; This books examines the affect that race has had on sportspeople &ndash; ranging from Olympic athletes to school children.<br />

	The Logic of Racism</em></a> &ndash; Studies 800 individuals from all areas of society to gain an understanding of race relations, combining real life experiences with a commentary from Cashmore.<br />
	<br />

	...and there was telev!s!on</em></a> &ndash; Is, by Cashmore&rsquo;s own admission, the odd book out in the series. The book looks at the affect that television has had on our lives and examines how the evidence against television is unfounded.<br />
	<br />

      <title>The Hungry Dragon: three new Europa titles explore China’s rapid economic and political rise</title>
      <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.routledge.com/articles/the_hungry_dragon_three_new_europa_titles_explore_chinas_rapid_economic_and/" />
      <id>tag:,2012:/articles/1.12166</id>
      <published>2012-09-28T15:14:42Q</published>
      <updated>2012-10-24T10:42:43Q</updated>
      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>
	<strong>Politically isolated until the end of the Cold War, China is now a key global player with an economic strength second only to that of the United States.</strong></p>
<p>
	This recent rise to dominance is reflected in the Europa Handbooks and Monographs schedule which, in 2013, will publish three titles relating to the region: <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436310/"><em>China and the Middle East: from Silk Road to Arab Spring</em></a>, <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436860/"><em>Hungry Dragon: How China&rsquo;s Resource Quest is Reshaping the World</em></a> and <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436365/"><em>Handbook of China&rsquo;s Governance and Domestic Politics</em></a>. Cathy Hartley, Senior Editor for Europa, explains a little more about each title and her decision to focus commissioning on this rapidly changing country...</p>
<p>
	<br />
	&lsquo;China is becoming increasingly important as a major world power. Its actions in politics, international relations, trade and investment make it a fascinating research topic. Each of the volumes to be published focuses on a different area but all make for an interesting and informative read, and offer much food for thought.&rsquo;<br />
	<br />
	Each title addresses a very different aspect of the country&rsquo;s international and domestic affairs whilst also providing context to, and complimenting, the others. In light of the recent blocking by China of UN sanctions against Syria <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436310/"><em>China and the Middle Eas</em>t</a> by Muhamad Olimat seems particularly pertinent. To answer key questions, such as why most Middle Easterners prefer China&rsquo;s engagement to that of the West, Olimat focuses on the historical context to the region&rsquo;s relationships with the Middle East. For example, China&rsquo;s support for the Algerian Revolution of the late 1950s is analyzed in reference to current relationships in key areas such as energy, trade, arms sales, culture and politics.</p>
<p>
	Addressing more fully a theme briefly touched on in the Olimat title Sigfrido Burgos C&aacute;ceres and Sophal Ear&rsquo;s<em> <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436860/">The Hungry Dragon</a> </em>offers a comprehensive examination of the country&rsquo;s energy security strategy in the wake of its rapid growth. Recent reports have placed the average Chinese person&#39;s carbon footprint almost on a par with that of a European&#39;s meaning that the need for energy and natural resources now vastly exceeds internal supplies.

	Interested in learning more about the <em>Strategic Survey 2012</em> and the<em> IISS</em>? We&rsquo;ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to let you know a little more about the history, aims and activities of the Institute and fill you in on this year&rsquo;s updates.<br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<strong>What is the <em>Strategic Survey?</em></strong></p>
<p>
	The annual review of world affairs from the <em>IISS</em>, the <em>Strategic Survey</em> provides essential analysis of the year&rsquo;s key events for government policy makers, journalists, business leaders and academics. Described by Editor Alexander Nicoll as &lsquo;the first draft of history&rsquo; (read the full blog post <a href="http://iissvoicesblog.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/para-diplomacy-with-iran-and-russia/">here</a>) the<strong> </strong><em>Survey</em> takes an overview of the events of the preceding twelve months to answer some key questions. What is important and what is not? What trends can be discerned?</p>
<p>
	The<em> Survey</em> covers all the events and themes of the year in seven regional chapters: The Americas, Europe, Russia &amp; Eurasia, Middle East/Gulf, Africa and South Asia &amp; Afghanistan. The volume also includes an introductory section entitled &lsquo;Events at a Glance&rsquo;, special essays on important policy issues and a Strategic Geography section.</p>
<p>
	<strong>Who are the IISS?</strong></p>
<p>
	Founded in 1958 the <em>IISS</em> is a world leading authority on global security, political risk and military content. Independent of government and other bodies, its mission is to promote the adoption of sound policies to further global peace and security and maintain civilised international relations.</p>
<p>
	Central to<em> IISS</em> activities is the delivery of impartial, rigorous research and analysis. In addition to the <em>Strategic Survey</em> its publications include:<em> <a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781857436426/"> The Military Balance</a></em>, the definitive reference source on the world&rsquo;s armed forces; <em><a href="http://www.routledge.com/books/series/SE0841/">the Adelphi Series</a></em>, focusing on general strategic issues; and the International Relations journal,<a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tsur20/current"> <em>Survival</em></a><em>. </em></p>
<p>
	<strong>What are the new additions to the <em>Survey </em>for 2012?</strong></p>
<p>
	In an uncertain year dominated by transitions &ndash; shifting of relations in the Arab world, leadership changes in China and Russia and the continuing economic problems in Europe &ndash; the 2012 edition of the <em>Survey</em> provides an essential role by setting out all internationally significant events in a broad strategic context.</p>
<p>
	This edition includes essays examining strategic policy issues such as economic sanctions in Iran and the implications of the cyber world for intelligence agencies; issues of relevance to a particular area such as the upcoming US elections and internal friction in Pakistan are covered in detail in the regional chapters. Key themes of the year are also picked out in a Strategic Geography section that provides vital data in map form on the rise of Asia, the civil war in Syria and America&#39;s campaign of drone strikes.</p>
