| Title: Comparing Legal Cultures |
| Sub-title: Revised and Extended 2nd Edition |
| Edited by: Soren Koch, Jorgen Oyrehagen Sunde |
| ISBN10-13: 8245033944 : 9788245033946 |
| "In the present era of internationalisation of law, being able to analyse legal culture enables legal cooperation. However, legal culture is still more a theoretical concept than an analytical tool applied when approaching law. There are many kinds of legal cultures, concerning different groups of legal actors or covering different geographical areas, and they are at times overlapping. However, the national legal culture is still the one that has the largest influence on the everyday life of citizens and the day-to-day work of lawyers. In this book, the editors first theorize on and give practical guidance on how to identify, deconstruct and examine legal culture. Based on a common analytical framework, the editors and a large number of expert contributors explore central institutional and intellectual features of legal culture in 12 European countries next to USA, China and Australia allowing the reader to systematically compare legal cultures. This is the second and extended version of Comparing Legal Cultures, which is the first thorough and extensive book that analyses national legal cultures as an approach to comparative law. The book aims at providing essential knowledge and understanding for students of law, as well as for practitioners and scholars in need of entangling legal cultural features." |

| Title: Cultural MĂ©lange in Aesthetic Practices |
| Edited by: Annjo K Greenall, Domhnall Mitchell |
| ISBN10-13: 8245017213 : 9788245017212 |
| This book discusses cultural mélange in a variety of different textual and non-textual aesthetic practices within literature, theatre, and music. The process of globalisation has left no corner of the world untouched. Although many studies use postcolonial theory to understand its large-scale effects, the contributors to this book show how such theory can be drawn on for productive use also in other contexts, such as the Scandinavian. In doing so, they also rework the well-worn concept of "hybridity" to one of "cultural mélange", creating a lens by which to take a broader view of the phenomenon: from Africa to Poland, from France to Norway, various forms of globalisation processes have accelerated an interpenetration of cultures which takes place on a number of widely different cultural arenas. |

| Title: Democracy and Dictatorship |
| By (author): Carl Henrik Knutsen |
| ISBN10-13: 8245051675 : 9788245051674 |
| What exactly is democracy, and how do we measure it? What constitutes a high-quality democracy, and what factors increase the risk of countries moving towards dictatorship? Does democracy matter for economic development, inequality, or education policy? The study of democracy, democratisation, and autocratic politics is not only central to comparative politics, but also to other subfields of political science such as international relations and public administration as well as disciplines such as economics, sociology and history. Democracy and Dictatorship gives an updated account of the most pressing questions preoccupying democracy researchers. This comprehensive book offers an introduction to the study of democracy and autocracy. It contains chapters on the conceptualisation and measurement of democracy and regime types, a chapter on the historical development of democracy, two chapters on proposed causes of regime stability and change, notably discussing both democratisation and autocratisation, and two chapters on several important developmental and other effects of democracy and autocracy. ď"żThe book is intended for a broad audience, notably including bachelor students being introduced to these important topics in introductory courses in comparative politics, as well as others who want an accessible and up-to-date introduction to what current research tells us about democracy and autocracy as well as their causes and consequences. |

| Title: Fish, Coast & Communities |
| Sub-title: A History of Norway |
| By (author): Nils Kolle, Alf Ragnar Nielssen, Atle Dossland, Pal Christensen |
| ISBN10-13: 8245018783 : 9788245018783 |
| Norway is often referred to as a maritime nation, and this is not unexpected given its unique location and long coastline. But what does this mean, beyond these obvious characteristics? This book offers an in-depth exploration of how the people of Norway have relied on the sea for thousands of years to put food on the table, to build prosperity and to shape their communities. Norwegians have used the sea in a wide variety of ways over time, depending on factors such as climate, resources, technology, politics and markets. This book examines these developments from the time the first settlers found their livelihood along the Norwegian coast, through over a thousand years of commercial fishery in Norway. The story continues up to the present day, when fisheries and fish farming still ensure that Norway is one of the largest seafood exporters in the world. The book tells the tale of a society built on marine resources. |

| Title: GIS |
| Sub-title: The Geographic Language of Our Age |
| Edition Statement: 2nd Edition |
| Edited by: Knut Grinderud, Anders C Haavik-Nilsen |
| ISBN10-13: 8245020117 : 9788245020113 |
| This book provides a comprehensive introduction to geographic information systems (GIS). It explains the ideas and methodology behind GIS, and discusses all aspects of the process of collection, processing, analysis, and presentation of geographic information. In this respect, the book differs from more technically oriented literature on GIS. GIS is increasingly employed as a tool to support planning and management across diverse areas of society, and so the emphasis is placed on how GIS works as a geographic language in different contexts. The book is informative, easy to follow, and aims to make GIS applicable and relevant to professional planners who organise and shape our environments. In this second edition, the content has been updated by various experts. The new chapter on the use of geographic information and GIS as a basis for military decisions, may also be very relevant for other disciplines. All of the authors have academic backgrounds, high levels of expertise, and long experience in the use of GIS at the Norwegian Military Academy and the NDEA. |

| Title: Innovation Capacity |
| By (author): Christine Meyer, Inger Stensaker, Rune Bjerke, Anne Cathrin Haueng |
| ISBN10-13: 8245045713 : 9788245045710 |
| Established firms need to balance their current business with future opportunities. The structures and processes that foster renewal and innovation differ from those allowing the firm to maintain daily operations. This book explores how managers can develop innovation capacity in the established firm, thus enabling repeated innovation and renewal. The underlying foundation of the book is the belief that innovation is a result of the interactions among people within and around the established firm. We present eight distinct organizational solutions that enable innovation and renewal. For each solution, we describe the theory behind it and illustrate it with recent cases, most of them from Norway or the Nordics. The book targets managers and employees in the private and public sectors who hold responsibility for innovation and renewal in an established firm. It is also suitable for students, particularly within the fields of strategy, organization and management. |

| Title: Leadership Development in Multinational Companies |
| Sub-title: Context & Collaboration |
| Edited by: Atle Jordahl, Rune Ronning, Bjarne Espedal |
| ISBN10-13: 8245015636 : 9788245015638 |
| How do leadership tasks change as companies internationalise, and how can companies provide their leaders with developmental opportunities to prepare them for operating within this context? These are questions that are discussed in this book. The background is the growing number of multinational companies and the fact that leadership capacity and capabilities seem to be considered a major prerequisite for success. The book is the result of a common interest and cooperation between academics, researchers and consultants at the NHH (Norwegian School of Economics), the SNF (Centre for Applied Research at the NHH) and the AFF (Administrative Research Institute at the NHH), which constitute the NHH Group. This synthesis of insight from academics and consultants is a unique feature of this book. The book covers theories of leadership and organisation that are relevant to the context of multinational companies (MNCs), empirical findings on leadership and leadership development, and recommendations for designing leadership development initiatives for MNCs. The AFF Foundation was established in 1952 on the initiative of Professor Rolf Waaler at the NHH. Its mission statement reads: To promote insight into leadership and organisations through research and development, consulting and related activities. This can be achieved through the Foundation's own activities, financial support or cooperation with other institutions or individuals. Today the foundation pursues its mission primarily through part ownership of the leadership institute AFF AS. |
