Handbook Of Research On Development And Religion
Cheltenham: E. Elgar, 2013
With eighty per cent of the world’s population professing religious faith, religious belief is a common human characteristic. The sacred texts of each of the world’s major religions exhort believers to live a righteous life, including responding to poverty and assisting those with less. This fascinating and unique Handbook highlights the value of incorporating religion into development studies literature and research. It argues that as religious identity is integral to a community’s culture, exclusion of religious consideration will limit successful development interventions and therefore it is necessary to conflate examination of religion and development to enhance efforts aimed at improving the lives of the poor.

Handbook On Climate Change And Agriculture
Cheltenham: E. Elgar, 2011
This book explores the interaction between climate change and the agriculture sector. Agriculture is essential to the livelihood of people and nations, especially in the developing world; therefore, any impact on it will have significant economic, social, and political ramifications. Scholars from around the world and from various fields have been brought together to explore this important topic.
The contributions found here analyze direct agronomic effects, the economic impacts on agriculture, agricultural impacts on the economy, agricultural mitigation, and farmer adaptation. The authors argue that climate change is likely to have an extensive impact on agriculture around the world through changes in temperature, precipitation, concentrations of carbon dioxide, and available water flows. This thorough and timely volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring the impacts of climate change in arguably the most important sector of the world economy.
Economists, agronomists, and climate modelers in academia and the public sector, policy analysts and development agency staff, and graduate/postgraduate students will find this remarkable volume a welcome addition to their collection. (da sito E-Elgar)

Handbook On The Economics Of Crime
Cheltenham: E. Elgar,
While few economists analyzed criminal behaviour and the criminal justice process before Gary Becker’s seminal 1968 paper, an enormous body of economic research on crime has since been produced. This insightful and comprehensive Handbook reviews and extends much of this important resulting research.
The Handbook on the Economics of Crime provides cutting-edge and specially commissioned contributions dealing with theoretical and empirical modeling of criminal choice and behavior, including Isaac Ehrlich’s exposition of what he labels the ‘market, or equilibrium, model of crime’. The public production and allocation of various criminal justice services is also examined, as are significant components of the costs and consequences of crime. Finally, current debates and controversies in the economics of crime literature are considered, with the expert contributors offering suggestions and guidance for future research. (da sito Elgar)

Handbook On Trade And The Environment
Cheltenham: E. Elgar, 2008.
In this comprehensive reference work, Kevin Gallagher has compiled a fresh and broad-ranging collection of expert voices commenting on the interdisciplinary field of trade and the environment. For over two decades policymakers and scholars have been struggling to understand the relationship between international trade in a globalizing world and its effects on the natural environment. The authors in this Handbook provide the tools to do just that.
The editor’s well-worked introduction synthesizes the emerging themes of the collection, which is divided into three sections: trade and environmental quality, trade and environmental politics, and trade and environmental policy. Topics include the extent to which trade liberalization creates ‘pollution havens’ where dirty industries flock to poorer countries with lax environmental standards, and conversely, how multinational corporations bring ‘cleaner’ environmental technologies to developing countries when they choose to move abroad. The volume also addresses the extent to which national environmental policy and/or global environmental agreements clash with the emerging rules of the World Trade Organization and whether such environmental policies hinder export competitiveness. Finally, numerous political economy analyses of the complex political coalitions that arise to adapt to and mitigate changes in trade and environmental policy are provided. In addition to broader overviews of the field, in-depth case studies of nations and regions are offered, including the United States, the European Union, China, India and Mexico as well East Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The volume will serve as a guide for scholars new to the field as well as students and policy-makers needing a quick reference to the research on the interface between trade and the environment.

The Lse Companion To Health Policy
Cheltenham: E. Elgar, 2012.
The LSE Companion to Health Policy covers a wide range of conceptual and practical issues from a number of different perspectives introducing the reader to, and summarising, the vast literature that analyses the complexities of health policy. The Companion also assesses the current state of the art.
Health policy is a wide-ranging subject covering many academic disciplines, but what most studies in health policy have in common is an interest in applying theory to improve practice. This Companion brings academic rigour to bear evidence on a range of central areas within health policy. It covers key issues on the quality, access and inequalities in health and health care; supply and health markets; insurance and expenditures; pharmaceuticals and new technologies; ageing and long-term care; and behaviour and health production.
This unique Companion on health policy contains the most important features for health system reform at a time of funding constraints and will therefore hold great appeal for policy analysts and makers, students, academics and management professionals.

The Oxford Handbook of Eating Disorders
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
A rich source of authoritative content that supports reading and study in the field, The Oxford Handbook of Eating Disorders reviews current research and clinical developments through synthetic chapters written by experts from various fields of study and clinical backgrounds. Epidemiologic studies suggest that eating disorders are not only common but have increased in prevalence in recent decades, and this handbook refines and updates the state of research. The book is divided into four sections: phenomenology and epidemiology of the eating disorders, approaches to understanding the disorders, assessment and comorbidities of the disorders, and prevention and treatment. The first section deals with classification and epidemiology of the disorders, considerations for revisions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and the somewhat neglected topic of eating disorders in childhood and early adolescence. The second section describes research basic to understanding the eating disorders and addresses biological factors, psychosocial risk factors, cultural factors, and the effects of behaviors such as dieting and eating and weight concerns in the genesis of the eating disorders. The third section describes assessment of the eating disorders, medical and psychological comorbidities, and medical management. The final section deals with various treatment modalities that have been found successful, including psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacologic approaches; an overview of evidence-based treatment for the eating disorders; and a consideration of what we know about cost-effectiveness of existing treatments.
The multiple perspectives and breadth of scope offered by The Oxford Handbook of Eating Disorders make it an invaluable resource for clinicians, researchers, and educators, as well as scholars and students. (Da sito Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of Intergroup Conflict
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
Social psychologists and peace scholars have both contributed a great deal of knowledge of the factors that enhance or inhibit conflict and the likely effectiveness of practices and interventions that address such conflict. However, contributions from these scholarly communities have grown apart and lack the integration that helped to create the interdisciplinary investigations of early peace research. This Handbook brings these perspectives together to encourage a more integrative approach to the study of intergroup conflict and peace.
With insightful chapters from key social psychologists and peace scholars, this volume offers an extensive overview of critical questions, issues, processes, and strategies relevant to understanding and addressing intergroup conflict. Chapters on sources of intergroup conflict examine dynamic processes in intractable conflict, ideological bases of conflict, and processes of delegitimization and moral exclusion. Other chapters on the perpetuation of intergroup conflict highlight processes associated with retribution and revenge, group identities, historical memories, victimization, and divergent perspectives between groups in conflict. Authors review strategies for reducing and resolving intergroup conflict using a variety of interventions that may be useful at different stages of conflict, with particular emphasis on strategies such as intergroup contact, dialogues, and interactive problem solving. Finally, the authors survey the ways groups can move beyond conflict, exploring topics such as the prevention of genocide and mass violence, reconciliation, apology and reparation, transitional justice, and approaches to building sustainable peace. In a concluding chapter, Herbert Kelman offers reflections of past and current efforts to bridge social psychological and peace perspectives on intergroup conflict and peace. This Handbook will provide a more integrative and cohesive foundation for research- and practice-oriented scholars who seek to develop effective approaches for reducing and resolving conflict and promoting peaceful relations.

The Oxford Handbook of Poverty and Child Development
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
Over 15 million children live in families subsisting below the federal poverty level, and there are nearly 4 million more children living in poverty today than in the turn of the 21st century. When compared to their more affluent counterparts, children living in fragile circumstances-including homeless children, children in foster care, and children living in families affected by chronic physical or mental health problems-are more likely to have low academic achievement, to drop out of school, and to have health and behavioral problems.
The Oxford Handbook of Poverty and Child Development provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms through which socioeconomic, cultural, familial, and community-level factors impact the early and long-term cognitive, neurobiological, socio-emotional, and physical development of children living in poverty. Leading contributors from various disciplines review basic and applied multidisciplinary research and propose questions and answers regarding the short and long-term impact of poverty, contexts and policies on child developmental trajectories. In addition, the book features analyses involving diverse children of all ages, particularly those from understudied groups (e.g. Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, immigrants) and those from understudied geographic areas (e.g., the rural U.S; international humanitarian settings). Each of the 7 sections begins with an overview of basic biological and behavioral research on child development and poverty, followed by applied analyses of contemporary issues that are currently at the heart of public debates on child health and well-being, and concluded with suggestions for policy reform.
Through collaborative, interdisciplinary research, this book identifies the most pressing scientific issues involving poverty and child development, and offers new ideas and research questions that could lead us to develop a new science of research that is multidisciplinary, longitudinal, and that embraces an ecological approach to the study of child development.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
Violence has always played a part in the religious imagination, from symbols and myths to legendary battles, from colossal wars to the theater of terrorism. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence surveys intersections between religion and violence throughout history and around the world.
The forty original essays in this volume include overviews of major religious traditions, showing how violence is justified within the literary and theological foundations of the tradition, how it is used symbolically and in ritual practice, and how social acts of violence and warfare have been justified by religious ideas. The essays also examine patterns and themes relating to religious violence, such as sacrifice and martyrdom, which are explored in cross-disciplinary or regional analyses; and offer major analytic approaches, from literary to social scientific studies.
The contributors to this volume—-innovative thinkers who are forging new directions in theory and analysis related to religion and violence—-provide novel insights into this important field of studies. By mapping out the whole field of religion and violence, The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Violence will prove an authoritative source for students and scholars for years to come.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion, Conflict, and Peacebuilding
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015
The book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of the scholarship on religion, conflict, and peacebuilding. Extending the scope of inquiry beyond previous parameters, the volume engages deeply with the legacies of colonialism, missionary activism, secularism, orientalism, and liberalism as they relate to the discussion of religion, violence, and nonviolent transformation and resistance.
Featuring diverse case studies from various contexts and traditions, the volume is organized thematically into five different parts. It begins with an up-to-date mapping of scholarship on religion and violence, and religion and peace. The second part explores the challenges related to developing secularist theories on peace and nationalism. In addition, this section broadens the discussion of violence to include an analysis of cultural and structural forms, thereby expanding the scope of potential scholarship pertinent to the analysis of religion. The third part engages with the controversies within religion and development, religious-violent and nonviolent-militancy, religion and the legitimate use of force, the protection of the freedom of religion as a keystone of peacebuilding, and theories about gender and peacebuilding. The fourth part highlights peacebuilding in practice by focusing on constructive resources within various traditions, the transformative role of rituals, spiritual practices involved in the formation of peace-builders in contexts of acute violence, youth and interfaith activism in American university campuses, religion and solidarity activism, scriptural reasoning as a peacebuilding practice, and an extended reflection on the history and legacy of missionary peacebuilding. The conclusion looks to the future of peacebuilding scholarship and the possibilities for new growth and progress.
Bringing together a diverse array of scholars, this innovative Handbook grapples with the tension between theory and practice, cultural theory, and the legacy of the liberal peace paradigm, offering provocative, elastic, and context-specific insights for strategic peacebuilding processes.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Eugenics
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
Eugenic thought and practice swept the world from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century in a remarkable transnational phenomenon that informed social and scientific policy across the political spectrum, from liberal welfare measures in emerging social-democratic states, to feminist ambitions for birth control, to public health campaigns, to totalitarian dreams of the perfectibility of man. This book dispels for uninitiated readers the automatic and apparently exclusive link between eugenics and the Holocaust: the popularity of eugenics in Japan, for example, comes as a surprise. It is the first world history of eugenics and an indispensable core text for both teaching and research in what has become a sprawling but ever more important field. Eugenics has accumulated generations of interest as part of the question of how experts think about the connections between biology, human capacity and policy. In the past and the present, eugenics speaks to questions of race, class, gender and sex, evolution, governance, nationalism, disability, and the social implications of science. In the current climate, where the human genome project, stem cell research, and new reproductive technologies have proven so controversial, the history of eugenics has much to teach us about the relationship between scientific research, technology, and human ethical decision-making.
This volume offers both a nineteenth-century context for understanding the emergence of eugenics and a consideration of contemporary manifestations of, and relationships to eugenics. It is the definitive text for students and researchers to consult for careful and up-to-date summaries, new substantive fields where very little work is currently available (e.g. eugenics in Iran, South Africa, and South East Asia); transnational thematic lines of inquiry; the integration of literature on colonialism; and connections to contemporary issues.

The Oxford Handbook of the Welfare State
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
he Oxford Handbook of the Welfare State is the authoritative and definitive guide to the contemporary welfare state. In a volume consisting of nearly fifty newly-written chapters, a broad range of the world's leading scholars offer a comprehensive account of everything one needs to know about the modern welfare state. The book is divided into eight sections. It opens with three chapters that evaluate the philosophical case for (and against) the welfare state. Surveys of the welfare state>'s history and of the approaches taken to its study are followed by four extended sections, running to some thirty-five chapters in all, which offer a comprehensive and in-depth survey of our current state of knowledge across the whole range of issues that the welfare state embraces. The first of these sections looks at inputs and actors (including the roles of parties, unions, and employers), the impact of gender and religion, patterns of migration and a changing public opinion, the role of international organisations and the impact of globalisation. The next two sections cover policy inputs (in areas such as pensions, health care, disability, care of the elderly, unemployment, and labour market activation) and their outcomes (in terms of inequality and poverty, macroeconomic performance, and retrenchment). The seventh section consists of seven chapters which survey welfare state experience around the globe (and not just within the OECD). Two final chapters consider questions about the global future of the welfare state.
The individual chapters of the Handbook are written in an informed but accessible way by leading researchers in their respective fields giving the reader an excellent and truly up-to-date knowledge of the area under discussion. Taken together, they constitute a comprehensive compendium of all that is best in contemporary welfare state research and a unique guide to what is happening now in this most crucial and contested area of social and political development.(da sito Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Social Policy
Oxford Handbook of U.S. Social Policy
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015
The American welfare state has long been a source of political contention and academic debate. This Oxford Handbook pulls together much of our current knowledge about the origins, development, functions, and challenges of American social policy. After the Introduction, the first substantive part of the handbook offers an historical overview of U.S. social policy from the colonial era to the present. This is followed by a set of chapters on different theoretical perspectives available for understanding and explaining the development of U.S. social policy. The three following parts of the volume focus on concrete social programs for the elderly, the poor and near-poor, the disabled, and workers and families. Policy areas covered include health care, pensions, food assistance, housing, unemployment benefits, disability benefits, workers' compensation, family support, and programs for soldiers and veterans. The final part of the book focuses on some of the consequences of the U.S. welfare state for poverty, inequality, and citizenship. Many of the chapters comprising this handbook emphasize the disjointed patterns of policy making inherent to U.S. policymaking and the public-private mix of social provision in which the government helps certain groups of citizens directly (e.g., social insurance) or indirectly (e.g., tax expenditures, regulations). The contributing authors are experts from political science, sociology, history, economics, and other social sciences.

Further information
‘The range of topics covered in this volume is multi-faceted and various. . . Practitioners with clients involved in agri-business will be particularly interested in the broad spectrum of matters discussed, as will trade negotiators, policy advisors and graduate students in this vital and fascinating field.’
– Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine
Agriculture has been the unruly horse of the GATT/WTO system for a long time and efforts to halter it are still ongoing. This Research Handbook focuses on aspects of agricultural production and trade policy that are recognized for their importance but are often kept out of the limelight, such as the implication of national and international agricultural production and trade policies on national food security, global climate change, and biotechnology. It provides a summary of the state of the WTO agriculture negotiations as well as the relevant jurisprudence, but also, and uniquely, it focuses on the new and emerging issues of agricultural trade law and policy that are rarely addressed in the existing literature.
With contributions from a multi-disciplinary team of leading analysts from around the world, this Research Handbook will appeal to trade negotiators, international trade law and policy academics as well as postgraduate students in the field.

Anoressie e bulimie
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2004
Orge alimentari e digiuni sono stati presenti in tutte le epoche e le culture. Nel corso degli ultimi cento anni il rapporto dell'essere umano con il cibo è diventato più difficile e l'atto di mangiare si è annodato al problema dell'immagine fisica di sé. Anoressie, bulimie e obesità coesistono nei paesi ricchi in proporzioni epidemiche. In quelli in via di sviluppo, accanto a una larga parte di popolazione malnutrita, figura un numero crescente di individui obesi e compaiono i primi casi di anoressia. Cause e funzioni dei sintomi sono esaminate nel volume attraverso la trama dei fattori biologici e ambientali, dei processi mentali inconsci, delle costellazioni familiari, dei passaggi critici del ciclo vitale. Infine l'autore fa il punto sulle cure, che sono difficili ma possibili, psicoterapeutiche più che farmacologiche, e segnala come lo studio degli esiti a distanza di tempo aiuti a riflettere sulla complessità delle questioni in gioco.

A dieta di media: comunicazione e qualità della vita
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2014
Lavoro, studio, svago, informazione: tra computer, televisione, smartphone o tablet la quantità di tempo che passiamo quotidianamente con gli occhi puntati su uno schermo è enorme. Ma esiste un pericolo di «obesità mediale», analoga a quella alimentare, nell’era digitale? Il libro sviluppa questo parallelo indicando, per la «cura», quattro punti chiave: limitarsi nella quantità del consumo; scegliere la qualità dei contenuti e delle relazioni fruite; concentrarsi contro i rischi del multitasking e della perdita dell’attenzione; relazionarsi gestendo con accuratezza i rapporti personali tra offline e online.

Il disturbo alimentare: modelli, ricerche e terapie
Roma: Carocci, 2001
Questo libro propone una rassegna accurata delle conoscenze oggi disponibili sul disturbo del comportamento alimentare: un fenomeno per certi versi misterioso, ma sempre più diffuso ed emergente nelle società occidentali, che investe in modo particolare le donne nel punto di transizione tra l’adolescenza e la prima giovinezza. Orientarsi fra teorie, ricerche scientifiche e tecniche d’intervento può essere difficile: questo volume offre dunque al lettore un quadro ragionato e i necessari confronti, anche critici, sulla rilevanza scientifica e clinica dei diversi modelli terapeutici. Tra l’altro propone, portando a sostegno le evidenze empiriche, di cogliere la sostanziale identità di fondo che connota le varie forme, tuttora in evoluzione, del disturbo. Il testo è rivolto a psicologi, medici, terapeuti, operatori sociosanitari, ma anche a dietisti e nutrizionisti, insegnanti ed educatori professionali impegnati con soggetti adolescenti, in sostanza a tutti coloro che vogliono confrontarsi con un’informazione ampia ed aggiornata sull’argomento.

Le disuguaglianze sociali
(Bussole)
Roma: Carocci, 2003
Alcuni tipi di disuguaglianze sociali - ad esempio quelle basate sulla classe, sul genere e sull’etnia - sembrano oggi meno accentuati rispetto ad alcuni decenni fa. Tale impressione corrisponde alla realtà oppure queste divisioni hanno semplicemente preso altre forme? Questa introduzione allo studio delle disuguaglianze presenta le conclusioni delle più rilevanti ricerche in materia e fornisce alcuni strumenti per orientarsi in questo importante campo delle scienze sociali.

Il divario digitale: Internet e le nuove disuguaglianze sociali
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2006
New economy, società dell'informazione, network society, società postindustriale, economia della conoscenza, e-society. Tante etichette che, nell'evocare la grande portata delle trasformazioni storiche in atto nell'era contemporanea, ne sottolineano un elemento decisivo: le nuove tecnologie della comunicazione elettronica. Le enormi possibilità che si sono spalancate davanti a noi, in particolare grazie ad Internet, sono tuttavia accompagnate anche da nuove disuguaglianze. E' il segretario generale dell'Onu a dichiarare, parlando dei paesi in via di sviluppo, che oggi essere tagliati fuori dai servizi di telecomunicazione è una difficoltà grave quasi quanto la mancanza di cibo, lavoro, abitazione, assistenza medica e acqua potabile. Ma anche nei paesi sviluppati, dove le privazioni materiali sono più contenute, le disparità di accesso alle nuove tecnologie della comunicazione incidono fortemente. Su tale fenomeno, chiamato divario digitale, si moltiplicano le indagini, le discussioni, gli interventi e le politiche. Questo volume ne presenta un quadro complessivo ricco di informazioni e di dati. (Da sito Il Mulino)

Obesità e sovrappeso
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2006
Nel mondo ci sono più di un miliardo di adulti in sovrappeso e almeno 300 milioni di questi sono obesi; abbiamo quindi a che fare con un problema che sta raggiungendo proporzioni epidemiche diffondendosi non solo nei paesi europei e negli Stati Uniti, ma anche in Australia e in Cina. Questa «globesity», come è stata definita con un efficace neologismo dall’Organizzazione mondiale della Sanità, investe anche bambini e adolescenti con gravi conseguenze sul benessere psicologico e sull’inserimento sociale. A questo si aggiunge che un corpo asciutto, senza chili di troppo, è diventato un obiettivo quasi irrinunciabile nella nostra cultura contemporanea. Nel volume, che sostiene l’efficacia di un approccio multidimensionale (bio-psico-sociale), si spiega tutto quello che c’è da sapere su obesità e sovrappeso, dalle definizioni alle cause, ripercorrendo tutti i possibili trattamenti, dalle diete, all’esercizio fisico, fino alla soluzione chirurgica. Infine si forniscono ai lettori utili consigli per scegliere il giusto programma da seguire tra peso ideale e peso accettabile. (Da sito Il Mulino)

Il Parkinson
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2012.
Le varie fasi della malattia, dai primi sintomi alla comparsa di rigidità e tremore e di altre manifestazioni cliniche come la depressione e i disturbi del sonno. Ma anche le modalità per rendere più facile la vita dei malati, con un coinvolgimento della famiglia e di coloro che se ne prendono cura.
Di fronte a una malattia per la quale non è ancora disponibile un rimedio risolutivo, pazienti, familiari e medici si trovano a intraprendere un cammino lungo e impegnativo. Che cos’è il Parkinson? Come si manifesta? Come è possibile affrontarlo? Il libro descrive le varie fasi della malattia, gli aspetti diagnostici, le terapie, ma anche le modalità per rendere meno ardua la vita dei malati e dei loro familiari, senza dimenticare uno sguardo al domani e alla ricerca. Non mancano un glossario e alcune informazioni per orientarsi tra le associazioni di familiari e volontari e i più accreditati siti internet italiani e stranieri. (Da sito Il Mulino)

Il ritardo mentale
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2005
Il comportamento dell'uomo è frutto di molte capacità e di molte passioni, ma nelle condizioni del ritardo queste appaiono ridotte, impoverite e distorte. Abbiamo in questo caso a che fare con una condizione limite - chiamata impropriamente ritardo - poco conosciuta e spesso solo banalmente quantificata. Due autorevoli voci della neuropsichiatria infantile ci spiegano cosa accade nella persona con ritardo mentale, e ci fanno capire come la mente possa essere ferita ma mai distrutta; ed è proprio questo che rende sempre possibile uno spazio fecondo per un intervento riabilitativo. Il volume è uno strumento prezioso per genitori, insegnanti, operatori, psichiatri e per tutti coloro che devono capire e riabilitare, senza dimenticare che ogni essere umano può conquistare una maggiore autonomia della propria condotta e ha il diritto di realizzare al meglio le proprie possibilità nella vita affettiva, familiare e sociale.
