Book Description
Leadership in Perspective is a book for everyone to read or to study. By reading this preview, you will read the entire book, and in the process, you will learn and become a better leader—ready to carry the burdens of society and institutions with grace and love. The book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students, so that they can attain a solid foundation of the theories, styles, and application of the principles of leadership. The book is also ideal, as an energizer, for individuals who are in leadership, especially education leaders in the challenging and changing time in education leadership. It is written in a simple language, and in a straightforward style. As it is now obvious to many people, leadership is a simple but complex phenomenon that has existed in society, in every race or tribe, and in every culture or politics for a very long time. Beginning with families as units of society, leadership has never lacked, and its true intention has always been for the service of the greatest good of all in society. But until now, the deplorable state of leadership in education and in communities, influenced by tribe, race, and hatred cannot be underestimated. Are we primarily evil that we are in the process to implode? Regardless of the triumphs and setbacks of leadership in democratic, autocratic, tribal, religious, monarch, and racist societies, the basic intentions and tenets of leadership have always been to harmonize the needs of society and to safeguard the lives of all living in that society. Depending on the leaders’ intelligence and whether they have the nature of good in themselves, there arises a leadership that is good and exemplary or extremely toxic, evil, and destructive. Good leaders want every citizen and their neighbors to enjoy the dividends of society and the products of creation. Destructive leaders are corrupt, and they are, in fact, ignorant of what they ought to do or abstain from doing. They set communities into conflict as a political calculation for them to remain in power. They create environments of fear and hatred in communities or institutions. They surround themselves with people who only listen to them. Corrupt leaders take greater share of the good things and a lesser of the burdens and troubles that they create. Because of these actions, corrupt leaders are unequal, and they can drive communities, institutions, or societies into tribal, religious, or racial conflicts. Through this sort of error, corrupt leaders lack the achievement of moral goodness. Since being unjust is a voluntary choice, it elicits blame and conviction.

Sudanese Intellectuals in the Global Milieu
Author: Gada Kadoda
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793622779
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Sudanese Intellectuals in the Global Milieu: Capturing Cultural Capital propels Sudanese intellectuals into the global intellectual milieu and argues for their place in world intellectual history. The contributors posit that Sudan is currently in its most uncertain and perhaps most generative period, as the unrest, conflicts, and upheavals of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries threw Sudanese intellectuals and activists into identity, economic, environmental, religious, and existential crises. Despite these crises, the unrest has created a period of knowledge production and cultural production in Sudan. The contributors to the collection are Sudanese intellectuals who explore the history and evolution of knowledge production, thought, and cultural capital in Sudan.

Bound by Conflict
Author: Francis Mading Deng
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823272079
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Since its independence on January 1, 1956, Sudan has been at war with itself. Through the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) of 2005, the North–South dimension of the conflict was seemingly resolved by the independence of the South on July 9, 2011. However, as a result of issues that were not resolved by the CPA, conflicts within the two countries have reignited conflict between them because of allegations of support for each other’s rebels. In Bound by Conflict: Dilemmas of the Two Sudans, Francis M. Deng and Daniel J. Deng critique the tendency to see these conflicts as separate and to seek isolated solutions for them, when, in fact, they are closely intertwined. The policy implication is that resolving conflicts within the two Sudans is critical to the prospects of achieving peace, security, and stability between them, with the potential of moving them to some form of meaningful association.

The Ashgate Research Companion to International Criminal Law
Author: Yvonne McDermott
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317043146
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
International criminal law is at a crucial point in its history and development, and the time is right for practitioners, academics and students to take stock of the lessons learnt from the past fifteen years, as the international community moves towards an increasingly uni-polar international criminal legal order, with the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the helm. This unique Research Companion takes a critical approach to a wide variety of theoretical, practical, legal and policy issues surrounding and underpinning the operation of international criminal law as applied by international criminal tribunals. The book is divided into four main parts. The first part analyses international crimes and modes of liability, with a view to identifying areas which have been inconsistently or misguidedly interpreted, overlooked to date or are likely to be increasingly significant in future. The second part examines international criminal processes and procedures, and here the authors discuss issues such as victim participation and the rights of the accused. The third part is a discussion of complementarity and sentencing, while the final part of the book looks at international criminal justice in context. The authors raise issues which are likely to provide the most significant challenges and most promising opportunities for the continuing development of this body of law. As international criminal law becomes more established as a distinct discipline, it becomes imperative for international criminal scholarship to provide a degree of critical analysis, both of individual legal issues and of the international criminal project as a whole. This book represents an important collective effort to introduce an element of legal realism or critical legal studies into the academic discourse.
