Reproductive health care professionals in fields such as Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Medicine, and Pediatrics face difficult ethical issues because they work at the crossroads of patient decision-making, scientific advancement, political controversy, legal regulation, and profound moralconsiderations. The dilemmas these professionals face expose big-picture bioethics questions of interest to everyone, yet for clinicians striving to deliver excellent patient care the ethical questions that make daily practice challenging can be just as nuanced.This volume presents a carefully curated compilation of essays written by leading experts in the fields of medicine, ethics, and law, who address key issues at the forefront of reproductive ethics. It is organized into three main sections: Preventing Pregnancy and Birth (Family Planning andAbortion), Initiating Pregnancy (Assisted Reproduction), and Managing Pregnancy and Delivery (Obstetric Ethics). Each section begins with a short introduction by the editors providing an overview of the area and contextualizing the essays that follow. This volume's primary aim is to be useful topracticing clinicians, students, and trainees by providing short and practical essays covering urgent topics -- from race, religion and abortion, to legal liability, violations of confidentiality and maternal choices that risk future children's health. This collection provides clinicians at alllevels of training with frameworks they need to approach the intimate and high-stakes encounters central to their profession.

Ten essays draw on a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives to examine how social policy constructs gendered social relations, especially in the context of the restructuring of welfare and the reassertion that traditional families are the backbone of society. They discuss the difference/equality debate, representations and discourses of gender in social policy, tensions and issues associated with restructuring domestic relations, feminist alternatives to mainstream social policy solutions, and other topics.

Managing Strategy (Managing Universities and Colleges)

Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to produce corporate and strategic plans, both for external audiences (such as funding bodies and other 'partners') and for the internal purposes of setting and achieving goals. They are significantly dependent upon public investment and the expectations of public bodies as well as upon a fast-changing market for their products and services.David Watson sets out what strategic management can and should consist of in a modern, essentially democratic, university or college, and how to make it work. He examines for instance:* how universities and colleges should go about satisfying legitimate external and internal requirements for their corporate plans.* how they should maximize their strategic assets and opportunities and minimize their weaknesses and threats.* the role of governance and management in setting and achieving a strategic plan.This book demonstrates how the academy has to adapt to meet the needs of its rapidly changing host society as well as of a more diverse and plural internal community, whilst maintaining a range of historical commitments. The result is an account of strategic management that is simultaneously careful of traditional values, restorative of those that have fallen into abeyance, and genuinely innovative.

Multiculturalism (Concepts in the Social Sciences)

Multicultural and multiculturalism are words frequently used to describe the ethnic diversity which exists everywhere in the world today. However, there is some confusion about what precisely they signify. Do they simply describe diversity or are they advocating a particular response to that diversity? This book looks at some of the debates associated with these words and with the concepts attached to them. In particular the arguments for and against multiculturalism are examined in the context of modern states in different political and historical circumstances. Attitudes and emphases in relation to multiculturalism differ, it is argued, from one country to another and the chapters of the book draw out the dimensions of difference with examples ranging from Europe and the USA to South-East Asia and China. The focus of the discussion is placed on issues such as minority rights, education, religious tolerance and the trend to global homogenization. Running through the description of these issues in an implicit critique of the loose way in which the word culture is used to mean an unchanging set of definitive characteristics and how that usage bedevils discussions of multiculturalism. The result is a concise and balanced overview of a topic with wide appeal across undergraduate and postgraduate courses from sociology and politics to cultural studies and anthropology.
