‘Diagnosis human’: Markets, targets and medicalisation in community mental health services
No full textJeremy Weinstein has argued that three processes: managerialism, marketisation and medicalisation are reshaping contemporary mental health practice. This chapter will seek to expand on their nature, dynamics and interaction within community mental health services in England. The discussion will begin with an overview of the form taken by managerialism and marketisation in mental health services. This is followed by an outline of the mechanisms through which front line practice is medicalised and its impact on social workers, other mental health practitioners and service users. The chapter will then go on to briefly examine risk, and conclude with consideration of the prospects for resistance to the neoliberal restructuring of the mental health field

The dynamics of refugee return: Syrian refugees and their migration intentions
No full textWe study the drivers of refugees' decision making about returning home using observational and experimental data from a survey of 3,003 Syrian refugees in Lebanon. We find that the conditions in refugee-hosting countries play a minor role. In contrast, conditions in a refugee's home country are the main drivers of return intentions. Even in the face of hostility and poor living conditions in host countries, refugees are unlikely to return unless the situation at home improves significantly. These results challenge traditional models of decision making about migration, where refugees weigh living conditions in the host and home countries (“push” and “pull” factors). We offer an alternative theoretical framework: a model of threshold-based decision making whereby only once a basic threshold of safety at home is met do refugees compare other factors in the host and home country. We explore some empirical implications of this new perspective using qualitative interviews and quantitative survey data
Disentangling the Determinants of Successful Demobilization and Reintegration
No full textSince 1989, international efforts to end protracted conflicts in Africa, Latin America, and Asia have included sustained investments in the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of combatants from the warring parties. Yet, while policy analysts have debated the organizational factors that contribute to a successful DDR program, little is known about the factors that account for successful DDR at the micro level. Using a new dataset of ex-combatants in Sierra Leone, this paper analyzes, for the first time, the individual level determinants of demobilization and reintegration. Conventional views about the importance of age and gender for understanding reintegration find little support in the data. Instead, we find that an individual’s prospect of gaining acceptance from family and neighbors depends largely on the abusiveness of the unit in which he or she fought. Finally, while internationally-funded programs designed to assist the demobilization and reintegration process may have had an effect at the macro-level, we find no evidence that those who participated in DDR programs had an easier time gaining acceptance from their families or communities as compared to those who did not participate.demobilization, reintegration, conflict, disarmament, Sierra Leone
James Bond: international man of gastronomy
No full textThis article is concerned with the representation of food and drink in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. In particular, it examines how the author uses Bond’s culinary knowledge and habits of consumption as an important constituent of his hero’s character. Similarly, the food choices of other characters, notably villains, are shown to be linked, by Fleming, to core aspects of their identity − principally their ethnicity. Bond’s impulse to observe and classify, very much in evidence in the novels’ food sequences, is examined in terms of the texts’ construction of Bond as a skilled identifier of signs

On instability for the quintic nonlinear Schrodinger equation of some approximate periodic solutions
No full textUsing the Fermi Golden Rule analysis developed in \cite{cuccagnamizumachi}, we prove
asymptotic stability of asymmetric nonlinear bound states bifurcating
from linear bound states for a quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger operator with
symmetric potential. This goes in the direction of proving that the approximate
periodic solutions of the NLS in work by Marzuola and Weinstein do not persist for the quintic NLS
