The increasing importance of CSR means that companies must consider multi-stakeholder interests as well as the social, political, economic, environmental and developmental impact of their actions. However, the pursuit of profits by multinational corporations has led to a series of questionable corporate actions and the consequences of such practices are particularly evident in developing countries. Adefolake Adeyeye explores how CSR has evolved to aid the anti-corruption campaign. By examining voluntary rules applicable for curbing corruption, particularly bribery and analysing the domestic and extra-territorial laws of Nigeria, United Kingdom and the United States for holding corporations liable for bribery, she assesses the adequacy of international law's approach towards corporate liability for bribery and explores direct corporate responsibility for international corruption. The roles of corporate governance, global governance and civil liability in curbing corporate corrupt practices are given special focus.

Details what ordinary life was like during the extraordinary years of the reign of Soviet Union. Thirty-six illustrations, thematic chapters, a glossary, timeline, annotated multimedia bibliography, and detailed index make it a sound starting point for looking at this powerful nation's immediate past. What was ordinary life like in the Soviet police state? The phrase daily life implies an orderly routine in a stable environment. However, many millions of Soviet citizens experienced repeated upheavals in their everyday lives. Soviet citizens were forced to endure revolution, civil war, two World Wars, forced collectivization, famine, massive deportations, mass terror campaigns perpetrated against them by their own leaders, and chronic material deprivations. Even the perpetrators often became victims. Many millions, of all ages, nationalities, and walks of life, did not survive these experiences. At the same time, millions managed to live tranquilly, work in factories, farm the fields, serve in the military, and even find joy in their existence. Structured topically, this volume begins with an historical introduction to the Soviet period (1917-1991) and a timeline. Chapters that follow are devoted to such core topics as: government and law, the economy, the military, rural life, education, health care, housing, ethnic groups, religion, the media, leisure, popular culture, and the arts. The volume also has two maps, including a map of ethnic groups and languages, and over thirty photographs of people going about their lives in good times and bad. A glossary, a list of student-friendly books and multimedia sources for classroom and/or individual use, and an index round out the work, making it a valuable resource for high school as well as undergraduate courses on modern Russian and Soviet history. Copious chapter endnotes provide numerous starting points for students and teachers who want to delve more deeply.

This book took more than seven years to research and write and has passed through several stages of transformation. During this long process, I have benefited from the encouragement and ideas of countless colleagues, mentors, friends, and family members. First, I would like to thank Charles D. Smith and Julia Clancy-Smith. Carl’s and Julia’s mentoring, insight, and engagement with my work were instrumental in seeing this project through. I will forever be in their debt. I would also like to thank Linda T. Darling. Linda is the consummate mentor; her office door was always open to me for endless academic questions and discussions. I would like to thank Kate Wahl, the Stanford University Press executive editor, for taking a chance on my book and for her thoroughness and professionalism. The critical and encouraging comments of the SUP anonymous readers were extremely helpful in framing my revisions. My book is much better because of the readers’ advice. I am especially grateful to Walter Armbrust, who meticulously examined and critiqued the entire manuscript. His insights led me to explore new paths I had not yet considered. I am indebted to many colleagues, friends, and acquaintances: Donald Malcolm Reid, Tracy Gould, Julia Hutchins-Richards, and Christina Lindeman, for reading and commenting on an earlier draft of Chapter 2; Frédéric Lagrange, for sending me some relevant pages from the catalogs of Odeon, Columbia, and Baidaphon record companies; Munther Yunis, for allowing me to use his extensive library on linguistics; and Lauren Monroe, for reading and commenting on my introduction. I would also like to thank Deborah Starr and Vikash Yadav for sharing their book proposals with me and for their helpful advice on the publication process. Through the years, a great number of people have directly or indirectly contributed to my scholarship and intellectual growth. I benefited from the mentoring and advice of Richard Eaton, Leila Hudson, Michael Bonine, Adel Gamal, Kamran Talattof, Amy Newhall, Richard Cosgrove, Kevin Gosner, Eric Davis, and Stephen Reinhardt. Throughout the writing process, my colleagues and the academic staff in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University were generous and unbelievably supportive. I am truly blessed to work in such a collegial and supportive atmosphere. Financial assistance for the research and writing of this project came from a variety of sources. The bulk of the research for this book took place in Egypt and England, with the help of generous research grants from Fulbright-Hays and the American Research Center in Egypt. Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities summer research grants in 2008 and 2010 helped me acquire additional resources, which were instrumental in the completion of this project. I am also indebted to the Cornell University Library and especially Ali Houissa, the Middle East and Islamic Studies librarian, for acquiring dozens of rare Arabic periodicals, which were extremely useful for my research. A part of Chapter 5 and a section from the introduction are reprinted with permission from my previous work, “Media Capitalism: Colloquial Mass Culture and Nationalism in Egypt, 1908–1918,” International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies 42(1) (February 2010): 83–103. I am eternally grateful to my parents, Ferial Sammakia and Adel Fahmy, who sacrificed a lot for my education and helped instill in me a sense of historical and intellectual curiosity. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife, Kaila Bussert, who proofread countless incarnations of this manuscript and endured my endless obsessions with this book project. Her love and unfailing intellectual and emotional support made this book possible.

Ernest Gellner's Nations and Nationalism (1983) provides one of the most powerful and original interpretations of modern nationalism. Drawing upon a range of disciplines, including philosophy, anthropology, sociology, politics and history, Gellner argues that nationalism is an inescapable consequence of modernity. For this new edition of Nations and Nationalism, John Breuilly, Professor of Nationalism and Ethnicity at the London School of Economics and Political Science, provides a substantial introduction, analysing Gellner's arguments and tracing and evaluating the ways in which the field has changed over the past two decades. Suggestions for further reading have also been updated. Second Edition not available in the USA.

This book examines the ethical controversies that have surrounded the design and conduct of international medical research sponsored by industrialized countries or industry, and carried out in developing countries. Is it acceptable to lower the ethical standards adopted in the industrialized world when carrying out research in developing, or resource-poor, countries? Ruth Macklin concludes that double standards in medical research are ethically unacceptable.

Scottish history has long been dominated by the romantic tales of Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, and Bonnie Prince Charlie. But the explosion of serious historical research in the last half-century has fueled a keen desire for a better-informed and more satisfying understanding of the Scottish past. This attractively designed book--boasting scores of illustrations, include eight color plates--brings together the leading authorities on Scottish history, who range from Roman times until the present day, offering a more accurate and sophisticated portrait of Scotland through the ages. The contributors take us from medieval Scotland, to the crisis created by Mary Queen of Scots and the trauma of Reformation, to the reign of James VI and the Union of the Crowns (1603). They discuss the seventeenth century, when a stern Calvinist Kirk launched an unprecedented attack on music, dancing, drama, and drinking, and the remarkable transformation of enlightenment Scotland, when the small nation became a great force in European literature, with such eminent figures as David Hume, Adam Smith, Robert Burns, and James Boswell. We discover that in the nineteenth century the Scottish economy, by some criteria, outpaced the rest of Britain, and its preeminence in heavy engineering was unquestioned. And we follow Scotland through the turbulent twentieth century, enduring two world wars and a depression, before ending on a high note, with Scotland enjoying its first parliament in three hundred years. What emerges here is a portrait of a confident people who slowly built an important place for themselves in the wider world--the story of a remarkably positive, assured, and successful kingdom.

As always, a research project of this scope could not have been successfully completed without the continuous support and assistance of numerous individuals. This includes people from three different countries. First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to George De Vos, professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley, who has been my intellectual mentor and friend for many years. Since that day in September 1990 when I first walked into his office, a young and wide-eyed graduate student of twenty-one years, I have learned much from our close association and our many long conversations, and he has been a continuous source of intellectual inspiration. I owe a great deal to him for my intellectual growth over the years. I will also never forgethis emotional support during the difficult year after my father’s premature death as well as the constant encouragement, enthusiasm, and assistance he has so generously provided throughout my academic career. I am also deeply indebted to Wayne Cornelius, director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies and the Center for U.S.–Mexican Studies at the University of California at San Diego, who has provided continuous and critical support for my research (intellectually, institutionally, financially, and otherwise) as well as for my academic career. Starting with our field research trip to Japan in November 1992, we have worked closely on Japanese immigration issues, and I have also benefited greatly from my participation in his research and from the various other opportunities he has opened up for me. Under his generous sponsorship, I was able to spend two years as a visiting research fellow at the Center for U.S.–Mexican Studies in order to write up my dissertation and then to prepare the manuscript for this book. The experience and resources available to me during this period proved to be invaluable.
