Greening the Globe

World Society and Environmental Change

By: Ann Hironaka

Recent decades have seen a rapid expansion of environmental activity in the world, including the signing of a growing number of environmental treaties and the formation of international organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Greening the Globe employs world society theory (aka world polity theory or sociological institutionalism) to explore the origins and consequences of international efforts to address environmental problems. Existing scholarship seems paradoxical: case studies frequently criticize treaties and regulatory structures as weak and ineffective, yet statistical studies find improvements in environmental conditions. This book addresses this paradox by articulating a bee-swarm model of social change. International institutions rarely command the power or resources to directly impose social change. Nevertheless, they have recourse via indirect mechanisms: setting agendas, empowering various pro-environmental agents, and propagating new cultural meanings and norms. As a result, world society generates social change even if formal institutional mechanisms and sanctions are weak.

Tokens of Power

Rethinking War

By: Ann Hironaka

War presents a curious paradox. Interstate war is arguably the most carefully planned endeavor by states, yet military history is filled with disasters and blunders of monumental proportions. These anomalies happen because most military history presumes that states are pursuing optimal strategies in a competitive environment. This book offers an alternative narrative in which the pillars of military planning - evaluations of power, strategy, and interests - are theorized as social constructions rather than simple material realities. States may be fighting wars primarily to gain or maintain power, yet in any given historical era such pursuits serve only to propel competition; they do not ensure military success in subsequent generations. Allowing states to embark on hapless military ventures is fraught with risks, while the rewards are few.

Neverending Wars

The International Community, Weak States, and the Perpetuation of Civil War

By: Ann Hironaka

Since 1945, the average length of civil wars has increased three-fold. What explains this startling fact? Hironaka points to the crucial role of the international community in propping up new and weak states that resulted from the postwar decolonization movement. These states are prone to conflicts and lack the resources to resolve them decisively.

Just Schools

Building Equitable Collaborations with Families and Communities

By: Ann M. Ishimaru

Just Schools examines the challenges and possibilities for building more equitable forms of collaboration among non-dominant families, communities, and schools. The text explores how equitable collaboration entails ongoing processes that begin with families and communities, transform power, build reciprocity and agency, and foster collective capacity through collective inquiry. These processes offer promising possibilities for improving student learning, transforming educational systems, and developing robust partnerships that build on the resources, expertise, and cultural practices of non-dominant families. Based on empirical research and inquiry-driven practice, this book describes core concepts and provides multiple examples of effective practices. “This is the most compelling work to date on school and community engagement. It will be required reading for all my future classes.” —Muhammad Khalifa, University of Minnesota “Full of practical steps that educators and administrators can and must take to build strong collaborations with families.” —Mark R. Warren, University of Massachusetts Boston “This important publication provides a way forward for educators, families, students and community members to co-create “Just Schools” by honoring, validating, and celebrating each other’s knowledge, skills, power and resources.” —Karen Mapp, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Ann Oram

Following on ...

By: Ann Oram,Scottish Gallery

We are delighted to present this exciting, new exhibition of work by Ann Oram, her seventh with us since 1985. After several years working abroad she has now returned to work in Scotland, in a new studio, in the countryside overlooking a formal garden. She has always found artistic stimulation in travel and new subjects but at this moment she has given consideration to ideas of inspiration and heritage; her own journey seen in the context of the art shegrew up with, her rigorous art education at Edinburgh College of Art, and the subjects which inspired a previous generation of Scottish artists. She has enjoyed deconstructing the styles employed on particular, well-known pictures by Peploe, Fergusson, Hunter and Cadell, which she has copied and has then taken the knowledge gained forward into her own work. There is abundant evidence that she has enjoyed following in their footsteps in Scotland andEurope without losing her essential personality
