Public Affairs Management is a groundbreaking guide to effective, evidence-informed public affairs practice in a variety of organisational contexts, including leadership, politics, communications, public relations, activism, and other decision-making.Readers will learn to draw together ideas and processes covering public policy development, political science research, stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, public affairs management, ethical communications, and activist campaigning. Situated within a globalised context, the book will equip readers with the theoretical knowledge that underpins effective and ethical professional public affairs practice, empowering them to research, develop, and evaluate impactful strategies as well as engage nonmarket stakeholders. In doing so, it aims to provide the conceptual grounding and reflexive frameworks needed to critically examine the role of public affairs practitioners. Organised into five interconnected parts, the book’s structure will enable readers to navigate its metamodern discussion of public affairs at the macro (political environments), meso (organisational contexts), and micro (practitioner performance) levels and effectively utilise it as a reference text. Across the text, a wealth of pedagogical features such as real-world application, signposts for further reading, practitioner reflections, original conceptual models and practical tools will help to engage readers, build competencies, provoke thinking, and encourage sustainable professional development.Valuable as essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of public affairs, corporate communications, public relations, business and management, policy and politics, this book will also be indispensable for practitioners in the field.Online support material for educators includes key slides as well as an instructor’s guide to teaching original models and frameworks.

Designed as a provocation, Adventurous Learning in Higher Education asks readers to join a conversation to re-evaluate what successful higher education looks like for individuals, institutions, and policymakers.The book directly challenges neoliberal higher education systems and proposes a radical pedagogical approach - pedagogies of adventure – underpinned by a new metamodern framework to nurture the capabilities and sensibilities graduates now need and the values necessary for a sustainable and equitable society. It establishes why change is urgent identifying barriers caused by metrification, stratification and performance metrics that prevent the sector delivering the right kind of education, in this moment and suggests how these are tackled. It argues only through radical change can higher education address the impenetrable problems, wickedness, injustices, complexities, and paradoxes that define our era.This is a crucial read for anyone who wants higher education to matter, for it to be transformative, from students to educators, from policymakers to university leaders. Its message is a hopeful one: higher education can change and adventurous learning and metamodernism can make it happen.

Creativity is the development and use of imagination to solve current challenges or create innovative ideas for the future. The complexity and challenges of the contemporary world arguably require increasing levels of creativity and innovation to manage the disruptive forces at work and build a prosperous and sustainable global society.Public relations isoften seen as the discipline that amplifies creative ideas developed by othersectors, but this is changing. With the blurring of lines among creativeindustries, organisations are increasingly turning to PR to generate the ‘bigideas’ at the heart of effective communication.This volume gathers 12 outstanding contributions from scholarsbased in Germany, Finland, Austria, Romania, the UK, Spain, France, Norway,Turkey and the USA. Taken together, the chaptersdemonstrate a range of possibilities for creative thinking about publicrelations management and collaboration in different settings and with differentpurposes. The chapters hint at opportunities, point towards innovation, and challenge our thinking about the power of creativity.
