Social Marketing
Author: Gerard Hastings
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080550118
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
This book explains the principles of social marketing and examines the implications of using techniques devised on Wall Street to further social and health goals. Naomi Kein, Joel Bakan and George Monbiot have each done a great job of telling us what is wrong with corporate capitalism. This book begins to provide some solutions. It shows how we can a) borrow the techniques they use to promote consumption, to encourage more socially desirable behaviours, and b) use rigorous research to enable regulators to constrain the worst excesses of Wall Street. Modern marketing techniques now pervade every aspect of our lives: the government, charities, advocacy groups use it to encourage us to live more healthily, support good causes or be more ecologically sensitive. This book asks whether this works and what does it tell us about the relationship between business and civil society? Highly accessible with clear learning objectives, exercises and worked examples, this is also a text that stretches our understanding of the discipline and raises questions about future directions.* First European text in the ground-breaking field of social marketing* Authored by the founder and Director of the Institute of Social Marketing and Centre for Tobacco Control, whose high quality academic research in the field is disseminated to health professionals, government and academics in the UK, Europe and Australasia.* Tailored for accessibility with learning features throughout, the text also adopts an approach that stretches the discipline and takes it further.

Smoking in Public Places
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0215026764
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
This report looks at the health effects of second-hand smoke, the justification for a ban on smoking in public places, what has been exempted under the Governments proposals and compliance issues. The Committee were surprised to find that Crown properties were exempted from the proposed legislation. It also disputes the Government's contention that an outright ban on smoking in all clubs and pubs would be unpopular and lead to problems of compliance. The Committee therefore recommends that the Government should introduce a comprehensive ban on smoking in all public places, including Crown property.

Health and the National Health Service
Author: John Carrier
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135310955
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The NHS came into existence in an atmosphere of conflict centred on the strong ideological commitment of the Post-war Labour Government and the opposition of the Conservative Party of that time to the idea of a universally available and centrally planned medical care service. There was also opposition from some sections of the medical establishment who feared the loss of professional autonomy. Setting health policy in both an historical and modern context (post 1997) Carrier and Kendall weigh up the successes and failures of the National Health Service and examine the conflicts which have continued for over sixty years, in spite of efforts to solve financial problems in the NHS through increases in funding as well as structural and organisational change. After looking at recent responses to supposed failures of the NHS, they conclude that the NHS has successfully faced the challenges before it and is likely to continue to meet the changing health needs of the population. Financial stresses, concerns about the quality of care and demographic change, with consequent issues for the elderly and the chronically ill, continue to be urgent and politically contentious issues. This book is appropriate for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying health policy and the NHS.

Devolution, Law Making and the Constitution
Author: Robert Hazell
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1845408152
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Law making is a primary function of government, and how well the three devolved UK legislatures exercise this function will be a crucial test of the whole devolution project. This book provides the first systematic study and authoritative data to start that assessment. It represents the fruits of a four-year collaboration between top constitutional lawyers from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and leading researchers in UCL's Constitution Unit. The book opens with detailed studies of law making in the period 1999–2004 in the Scottish Parliament and the Assemblies in Wales and Northern Ireland, and how they interact with Westminster. Later contributions look at aspects of legislative partnership in the light of the UK's strongly asymmetric devolutionary development, and also explain the unexpected impact of devolution on the courts. Individual chapters focus on various constitutional aspects of law making, examining the interplay of continuity and change in political, legal and administrative practice, and the competing pressures for convergence and divergence between the different parliaments and assemblies. This book is essential reading for academics and students in law and in politics, and for anyone interested in the constitutional and legal aspects of UK devolution, not least the practitioners and policymakers in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
