Architectures of Security: Design, Control, Mobility examines the relationship between architecture, security, and technology, focusing on the way these factors mutually constitute a “ferocious” architecture—an architecture, aesthetic, or design that is violent, forcing the performances and practices of sovereign power and neoliberalism. The text provides examples from urban spaces in both the global north and south, which discipline the mobility and movement of populations, as well as reinforce socioeconomic cleavages. From borders and borderlands, to airports, museums, and public buildings, the authors portray often inhumane examples of sovereign power.

This book is a comprehensive guide for dental professionals (from undergraduates to experienced practitioners) to understand and apply the core skills of Emotional Intelligence to enhance their personal and professional success. EQ relates to how an individual can understand and manage their own emotional needs as well as recognise and deal with the needs of others and the skills to do this. For dental professionals, these are important skills to have, as every interaction with a patient requires the ability to connect with them emotionally in a positive way. Research shows us that those who can put their EQ skills into practice are more successful and happier in life.The book is pragmatic in nature, drawing on real-life case studies from dentists in the field. This book looks at the application of the most up-to-date research on EQ that will make a direct impact on the practice of dentistry.

This book demonstrates how the capability approach to human development can contribute to the realisation of the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).The capability approach dictates that success should not be measured by economic indicators but by people leading meaningful, free, fulfilled, happy, or satisfied lives. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives, this book argues that it is vital that the focus for the SDGs should shift to benefiting the most vulnerable. Case studies from across Asia, Africa, Latin America (Global South), and the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia (Global North) consider how the capability approach can contribute as a practical framework to achieving the SDGs'ambitions for social, economic, political, and legal progress.Drawing on insights from a range of disciplines, this book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners from the fields of law, politics, international relations, criminology, international development, sociology, public policy, area studies, and others.
