Transforming International Institutions

How Money Quietly Sidelined Multilateralism at The United Nations

By: Erin R. Graham

Transforming International Institutions illuminates how a slow, quiet, subterranean process can produce big, radical change in international institutions and organizations. Drawing on historical institutionalism and interpretive tools of international law, Graham provides a novel theory of uncoordinated change over time. It highlights how early participants in a process who do not foresee the transformative potential of their acts, but nonetheless enable subsequent actors to push change in new directions to profound effect. Graham deploys this to explain how changes in UN funding rules in the 1940s and 1960s—perceived as small and made to solve immediate political disagreements—ultimately sidelined multilateral governance at the United Nations in the twenty-first century. The perception of funding rules as marginal to fundamental principles of governance, and the friendly orientation of change-initiators toward the UN, enabled this quiet transformation. Challenging the UN's reputation for rigidity and its status as a bastion of egalitarian multilateralism, Transforming International Institutions demonstrates that the UN system is susceptible to subtle change processes and that its egalitarian multilateralism governs only a fraction of the UN's operational work.

Writing Creative Non-Fiction

Determining the Form

By: Kapka Kassabova, John I MacArtney,Katie Karnehm,Rodge Glass,Helen Pleasance,Rebecca Gordon Stewart,Rhiannon Marks,Jo Collinson Scott,Erin Soros,Elizabeth Reeder

Writers of creative non-fiction are often expected to be able to recreate reality, to deal with, or even access, a singular truth. But the author, like any human, is not an automaton remotely tasked with capturing a life or an event. Whether we tell stories and understand them as fiction or non-fiction, or whether we draw away from these classifications, writers craft and shape writing all writing. No experience exists on a flat plane, and recounting or interpreting events will always involve some element of artistic manipulation: every instance, exchange, discussion, event is open to multiple interpretations and can be described in many ways, all of which are potentially truthful. Writing Creative Non-Fiction: Determining the Form contains essays and original writing from novelists, poets, songwriters, musicians and academics. The book covers topics that range from explorations of the role of the author, definitions and representations of the form, self and illness, to the spectral elements of non-fiction and its role in historical narratives. The essays included in this volume address everything from memoir, biography and autobiography to a discussion of musical approaches to criticism and a non/fiction interview. The book identifies key writers including Christopher Isherwood, David Shields, B. S. Jonson, James Frey, Åsne Seierstad, John D'Agata, W. G. Sebald, Jonathan Coe, Hilary Mantel, James Kelman, Liz Lochhead and Arthur Frank and is essential reading for students, researchers and writers of creative non-fiction.

Foundations of Low Vision

Clinical and Functional Perspectives

By: Anne Lesley Corn,Jane N. Erin

Foundations of Low Vision: Clinical and Functional Perspectives, the ground-breaking text that highlighted the importance of focusing on the functional as well as the clinical implications of low vision, has been completely updated and expanded in this second edition. The revised edition goes even further in its presentation of how best to assess and support both children and adults with low vision and plan programs and services that optimize their functional vision and ability to lead productive and satisfying lives, based on individuals' actual abilities. Part 1, Personal and Professional Perspectives, provides the foundations of this approach, with chapters focused on the anatomy of the eye, medical causes of visual impairment, optics and low vision devices, and clinical low vision services, as well as psychological and social implications of low vision and the history of the field. Part 2 focuses on children and youths, providing detailed treatment of functional vision assessment, instruction, use of low vision devices, orientation and mobility, and assistive technology. Part 3 presents rehabilitation and employment issues for working-age adults and special considerations for older adults.

Ex Hex

Die TikTok-Sensation - Roman

By: Erin Sterling

Als Vivienne Jones von Rhys Penhallow verlassen wird, tut sie, was jede junge Hexe an ihrer Stelle getan hätte: Sie lässt sich ein Bad ein, mixt sich einen ordentlichen Drink und verflucht den Mistkerl, der ihr das Herz gebrochen hat. Neun Jahre später ist Vivi immer noch nicht über Rhys hinweg, und als dieser zum jährlichen Herbstfest nach Graves Glen zurückkehrt, beschließt sie, ihn zu ignorieren. Leichter gesagt als getan, denn Vivis alter Fluch entfaltet mit Rhys Besuch erst seine volle Wirkung, und plötzlich ist das ganze Städtchen in Gefahr. Um den Fluch zu brechen, müssen Rhys und Vivi – zunächst äußerst widerwillig – zusammenarbeiten. Doch schon bald merken die beiden, dass die Funken nicht mehr nur in den Leylinien unter der Stadt sprühen ...
