Denna bok beskriver resultaten av ett forskningsprojekt, ”Medeltida järnhantering i Härjedalen”, som arkeologerna på Jamtli (länsmuseet i Jämtlands län) bedrivit mellan 2018 och 2023. Projektet fokuserade på ett område i den sydöstra delen av Härjedalens kommun, i Härjedalens och Hälsinglands landskap, där Jamtli tidigare hade utfört en fornminnesinventering. Syftet med projektet var att studera järnhanteringens tidsmässiga utveckling och utbredning, för att kunna påvisa järnets betydelse för den berörda bygden under framför allt medeltid och framåt. Hur mycket kol och järn har man egentligen framställt? Har järnproduktionen varit den styrande faktorn för var man har bosatt sig, eller har den utvecklats i anslutning till redan befintliga gårdar och byar?

Socialt lärande är en central del av fritidshemmets uppdrag, men ofta ses sådant lärande som en biprodukt till andra aktiviteter. Det förväntas då ske av sig självt, som en följd av elevernas egen interaktion. Den här boken, i motsats, anlägger ett didaktiskt perspektiv på socialt lärande, med fokus på de didaktiska frågorna och hur de bildar en helhet i undervisningen.Ett didaktiskt perspektiv på socialt lärande möjliggör en medveten och reflekterad undervisning, där elevers samspel och sociala relationer främjas i praktiken. I boken betonas vikten av att vara en aktiv och delaktig vuxen tillsammans med eleverna i fritidshemmets vardag. I fokus ligger ett undervisande förhållningssätt, vilket innebär att den didaktiska medvetenheten och det relationella arbetet sammanfogas.Boken vänder sig till blivande lärare i fritidshem, men kan också användas av praktiker som ett underlag för reflektion kring den egna undervisningspraktiken.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.The legitimacy of global governance institutions is both contested and defended in contemporary global politics. Legitimation and Delegitimation in Global Governance explores processes of legitimation and delegitimation of such institutions. How, why, and with what impact on audiences, are global governance institutions legitimated and delegitimated? The book develops a comprehensive theoretical framework for studying processes of (de)legitimation in governance beyond the state. It provides broad comparative analyses to uncover previously unexplored patterns of (de)legitimation processes. A diverse set of global and regional governmental and nongovernmental institutions in different policy fields are included. Variation across these institutions is explained with reference to institutional set-up, policy field characteristics, and broader social structures, as well as to the qualities of agents of (de)legitimation. The approach builds on a mixed-methods research design that uses quantitative and qualitative new empirical data. Three main interlinked elements of processes of legitimation and delegitimation are at the center of the analysis: the varied practices employed by different agents that may boost or challenge the legitimacy of institutions; the normative justifications that these agents draw on when engaging in legitimation and delegitimation practices; and the different audiences that may be impacted by legitimation and delegitimation. This results in a dynamic interplay between legitimation and delegitimation in contestation over the legitimacy of GGIs.

Globalization is a defining feature of our times, covering everything from economic and political issues to the spread of American culture. Its status is controversial, however with some viewing it as leading to greater development for all, while others see it as a threat to national cultures and democratic political life. This book shows how simplified such binary views are, and examines how various globalizing forces have affected Asian societies. It discusses the relationship between globalization, identity and democratic developments in Asia both theoretically and empirically, and aims to understand how economic, political and social forces interact and are mutually reinforced in Asian societies.
