Ben Jann, "Social dilemmas, institutions, and the evolution of cooperation"
English | ISBN: 3110471957 | 2017 | 582 pages | EPUB, PDF | 16 MB + 6 MB
The question of how cooperation and social order can evolve from a Hobbesian state of nature of a "war of all against all" has always been at the core of social scientific inquiry. Social dilemmas are the main analytical paradigm used by social scientists to explain competition, cooperation, and conflict in human groups. The formal analysis of social dilemmas allows for identifying the conditions under which cooperation evolves or unravels. This knowledge informs the design of institutions that promote cooperative behavior. Yet to gain practical relevance in policymaking and institutional design, predictions derived from the analysis of social dilemmas must be put to an empirical test. The collection of articles in this book gives an overview of state-of-the-art research on social dilemmas, institutions, and the evolution of cooperation. It covers theoretical contributions and offers a broad range of examples on how theoretical insights can be empirically verified and applied to cooperation problems in everyday life. By bringing together a group of distinguished scholars, the book fills an important gap in sociological scholarship and addresses some of the most interesting questions of human sociality.

Social Equity in a Post-Roe America (Public Administration and Public Policy) by Lorenda A. Naylor, Heather Wyatt-Nichol
English | April 30, 2024 | ISBN: 1032669888 | 418 pages | PDF | 11 Mb
Despite hundreds of federal laws and U.S. Supreme Court decisions prohibiting discrimination based on sex and race, American women and people of color continue to face pervasive individual and structural discrimination. Women often lack equal pay for equal work, affordable childcare, and paid family medical leave. Following the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, safe, legal abortion has become inaccessible in approximately half the country, disproportionately impacting poor women. Women and people of color are underrepresented in elected offices at the federal and state levels, and the voting rights of people of color continue to be eroded. Employing a public administration framework, Social Equity in a Post-Roe America documents the scope and breadth of inequality in the United States, linking social equity to sex, race, and the rule of law.

This insightful and provocative new book examines U.S. Supreme Court decisions and federal statutes across four public policy domains that increasingly influence U.S. democracy and impact the lives of American women. These policy domains consist of political representation, which includes citizenship and voting rights, contraception, abortion, and employment. Social Equity in a Post-Roe America offers policy recommendations to increase equitable access and equal opportunity for women and people of color. It is required reading for all students of public administration, public policy, and political science, as well as for engaged citizens.

Merlyna Lim, "Social Media and Politics in Southeast Asia "
English | ISBN: 1009548077 | 2025 | 102 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This Element endeavors to enrich and broaden Southeast Asian research by exploring the intricate interplay between social media and politics. Employing an interdisciplinary approach and grounded in extensive longitudinal research, the study uncovers nuanced political implications, highlighting the platform's dual role in both fostering grassroots activism and enabling autocratic practices of algorithmic politics, notably in electoral politics. It underscores social media's alignment with communicative capitalism, where algorithmic marketing culture overshadows public discourse, and perpetuates affective binary mobilization that benefits both progressive and regressive grassroots activism. It can facilitate oppositional forces but is susceptible to authoritarian capture. The rise of algorithmic politics also exacerbates polarization through algorithmic enclaves and escalates disinformation, furthering autocraticizing trends. Beyond Southeast Asia, the Element provides analytical and conceptual frameworks to comprehend the mutual algorithmic/political dynamics amidst the contestation between progressive forces and the autocratic shaping of technological platforms.

Social Robot Experience:
Analyse der Veränderung der Customer Experience durch den Einsatz von sozialen Service-Robotern
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 3658462469 | 334 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB

Service-Roboter halten zunehmend Einzug in die Lebenswelt der Konsumenten und unterstützen diese bei ihren Alltagstätigkeiten. Dadurch verändern sie auch die sog. Customer Experience (CE) der Konsumenten. Diese Social Robot Experience (SRE) steht im Zentrum des Bandes. Es wird die zentrale Frage untersucht, ob und in welcher Richtung der Einsatz von Social Robots die CE eines Konsumenten verändert. Basierend auf einer Literaturanalyse wird zunächst das sog. IKEV-Modell zur Erklärung der Customer Experience entwickelt, welches nach weiteren konzeptionellen Überlegungen hinsichtlich des Einflusses von Social Robots zu einem SRE-Wirkungsmodell konzeptioniert wird. Die theoretisch-konzeptionellen Überlegungen werden sodann am Anwendungsfeld „Mensabesuch" einer empirischen Prüfung unterzogen. Zu diesem Zweck wird das SRE-Wirkungsmodell zunächst auf den Einsatz des Social Robots „Pepper" in der Mensa der Universität Trier von dem Kauf- bis hin zum Nutzungsprozess angepasst und in einer quantitativen Studie untersucht. Durch die Anwendung eines Experimentaldesigns kann der Effekt von Pepper auf die CE quantifiziert werden. Sowohl die Operationalisierung als auch die empirische Modellprüfung erfolgt über unterschiedliche Ansätze. Mit dem Vergleich, ob diese unterschiedlichen Ansätze zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen führen, verfolgt der Band auch eine methodische Forschungsintention, um Handlungsempfehlung für die empirische Wissenschaft abzuleiten.

SOE in The Netherlands: The Special Operations Executive's Dutch Section in WW2 by An Official History
English | October 16, 2024 | ISBN: 1036110850 | 264 pages | MOBI | 5.42 Mb
Until 1943 there was little effective resistance to the German occupation of The Netherlands. Though numerous small opposition groups had formed immediately after the German invasion in 1940, there was no concerted movement or over-arching organisation.

Gradually, though, as the Germans introduced harsher measures against certain groups, opposition grew, particularly in the urban areas. These met with very limited success due to poor security which was to plague the Dutch resistance movement in general. As is made clear in this official account, individuals were often members of more than one resistance group at the same time. This inevitably meant that when one cell was compromised others quickly met the same fate.
Nevertheless, in 1941 the Netherlands, or N, Section of the Special Operations Executive under Major Seymour Bingham started sending trained agents to The Netherlands. These operatives were dropped by parachute or infiltrated into the country from France or Belgium. Unfortunately, poor discipline continued to hamper the resistance movement. Preparation was poor, security was lax, and codewords were forgotten or ignored. As a result, fifty-four of N Section's agents were captured by the Germans; fifty of these were subsequently executed.
Despite its egregious failings, SOE's N Section, could count on some successes. Its agents were able to coordinate the various groups and help maintain communications with the UK. They also undertook valuable weapons training and gave instruction on demolition techniques.
The people the agents assisted in active resistance were usually ordinary Dutch citizens, often working in respectable jobs under the very noses of the Germans, their only precaution being the adoption of a false name while operating undercover. The SOE agents themselves had to adopt the cover occupations of those professions which would not be subjected to conscription, such as teachers, medical personnel, or police. Usually, they would take the identity of brave individuals who had volunteered to have their information duplicated. In addition, the agents would be thoroughly briefed on their adopted personas so that they could provide convincing accounts of their movements if stopped and interrogated.
This official account of the development and activities of SOE's Dutch Section was written by a Staff Officer prior to SOE being disbanded in 1946. It was based on information, reports and documents provided by those involved in the campaign.
It details how SOE agents were recruited and trained in the UK and gives information on safe houses, contact addresses, secret telephone exchanges, training premises and methods of communications in The Netherlands and externally to London. In essence, it provides all the apparatus and procedures used in the establishment of the underground movement which sought to obstruct and oppose the Germans at every turn.
