ECSS/ECSEE/EBMC/ECPEL 2014 Programme Cover Image:“Monument to Edward VII - The Peace Statue” by Jim Haldane
A memorial to King Edward VII, ‘The Peacemaker’, the statue marks the boundary between the old boroughs ofHove and Brighton. It depicts an angel, representing peace, holding an orb and an olive branch. A memorial had
been proposed some years after the King’s death because of the relationship that he had with Brighton, spending
much time in the town, particularly in the last few years of his life.
Public donations across the two boroughs had ensured that a permanent monument could be built in addition
to something for the ‘suffering poor’. The monument was therefore erected to straddle the border between
the two boroughs. In 1997 the two boroughs were joined and in 2000 Queen Elizabeth II granted city status to
Brighton & Hove.
‘The statue is a noble and striking winged figure standing on a globe representing the universe. Under the globe
there is an indication of the waters under the earth, and the dolphins which support it represent the fishes
that are in the waters. In the uplifted right hand the figure holds an olive branch and in the other an emblem of
eternity. The whole stands on a pedestal of Stancliffe stone, on the four faces of which are bronze panels. The
front panel bears a relief portrait of the King, the side panels the Arms of Brighton and Hove respectively…The
height of the monument is 27 feet, and that of the figure about ten feet. Some 35 tons of the finest Stancliffestone were used in the construction of the base and pedestal, and the ground space occupied by the monument
is 25 feet 6 inches square and the height over all is 30 feet.’(Brighton Gazette. 16 October 1912.)

welcome to brighton
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the UK and to the wonderful city of Brighton & Hove, a vibrant and diverse center of the arts and culture, as well
as home to two universities. Welcome to the conference home of the International Academic Forum’s European Conference
Series.
An International Academic Forum (IAFOR) conference is an international, interdisciplinary, intercultural and inter-professional
event that invites academics, practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet, network, share intellectual
developments, explore challenges to dominant paradigms, and exchange ideas in a supportive environment.

IAFOR provides an international academic forum that encourages the development of collaborative links and connections
between researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners, and I strongly encourage your active and open-minded engagementwith the conference over this long weekend together.
These joint conferences are held as part of the first of four interdisciplinary weekends for IAFOR in the UK around thetheme of “Individual, Community, Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy”, and the conference theme of this joint event is
an important and timely one, as we look at conflicts within and between individuals, communities and societies, as well as
possible resolutions and synergies. The programme promises to be exciting, with thematic topics that address the central aimof the conference in different but complementary ways, including through papers that draw on empirical research, that develop
theoretical and conceptual insights, and that engage with the social sciences from varied research approaches. The conference
will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw on their diverse experiences and knowledges, and on
their academic, personal and geographical contexts, in a programme that promises stimulating and challenging discussion, andintellectual discovery.
This weekend we are more than 150 delegates from over 35 countries, as we come together to seek insights and answers
from each other in search of multidisciplinary research synergies.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, and I
look forward to meeting you all.
Respectfully

letter of welcome

Keynote Speech - New Directions in Japan under the Abe Government: Constitution, Defence, and Nationalism
The Abe Government is a radical administration, seeking to break decisively with much of the consensus developedsince the Allied Occupation.This lecture will focus on questions of constitutional reinterpretation and possible revision,
defence policy and the defence relationship with the United States, and Prime Minister Abe’s nationalist agenda. Someobservers argue that the imperative of strengthening the deterrent value of the Japan-US security alliance trumps themore negative aspects of his nationalist aspirations. Others (including the present writer) regard aspects of the newpolicies as embodying significant elements of danger, both for the health of Japanese democracy and for international
stability in East Asia. The lecture will also reflect on Japan’s future relations with China, the two Koreas, the UnitedStates and other powers, and possible scenarios for Japanese international role and influence.

About the Presenter: Dr Akira Yonekura is lecturer in accountancy at the School of Management & Languages at
Heriot-Watt University, UK
Abstract: The Anglo-American corporate governance system has been held up for some time as something of a
global standard to which all advanced capitalistic and emerging economies might adhere to or converge to. While
this has never been without controversy, recent developments, especially the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008
and what has come to be commonly termed the global financial crisis, have cast further doubt on the effectivenessof the Anglo-American corporate governance system. Here we offer a critical assessment of the Anglo-American
corporate governance system and recent attempts to improve it. We argue that these attempts, focusing mainly ontinkering with components of the current system at the micro-level, have not been far-reaching enough. We point
to the need for a holistic perspective that considers the macro- as well as the micro-level and their interrelationship.
And, in search of insights to flesh out our vision, we go beyond the Anglo-American context. Based on our criticalreading of Robert Ozaki’s (1988, 1991) work on human capitalism and the humanist enterprise system as manifested
in the Japanese context we explore how one might approach the challenging task of improving the Anglo-American
corporate governance. We elaborate how a changed emphasis on people and cooperation and sharing can enhance
Anglo-American corporate governance. And, we conclude that policy makers and practitioners need to thus adopt a
wider focus in attempts to design and implement better and more effective corporate governance systems.

Mapping the Landscape of UK Energy JusticeHannes R. Stephan, University of Stirling, UK
Darren McCauley, University of St. Andrews, UK
Raphael Heffron, University of Stirling, UK
About the Presenter: Dr. Hannes R. Stephan was educated at King’s College London and at Keele University. Sincecompleting his PhD on the transatlantic politics of agricultural biotechnology from a cultural-political perspective,
he has worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at Keele University and at Lund University, Sweden. Dr. Stephanteaches and conducts research on all aspects of environmental politics, covering global, European and national levelsof analysis. He also has a broader interest in energy security/justice, governance, and in the relevance of culturalvariables for the study of politics. He is a co-convenor of the Environmental Politics Standing Group of the European
Consortium for Political Research (ECPR).
Abstract: This paper explores how the concept of energy justice can contribute to the UK’s transition to a sustainable
and low-carbon energy system. Inspired by the literature on environmental justice and proposing an alternative tostate-centric thinking on energy security, energy justice is driven by aspirations for empowerment, social justice, andpublic health. It aims for an energy system that can provide all citizens with safe, affordable, and sustainable energy.
First, the paper clarifies the three major strands of energy justice – namely distributional, procedural, and recognition
justice. Second, it elucidates how this conceptual trinity can be employed by different social-scientific perspectives
to explore several core research questions about the energy transition. The analysis draws on case studies from therenewable energy and nuclear power sectors, and it focuses on three fundamental questions: (1) Can geography
re-conceptualise the distribution of energy injustices in the UK through the use of emerging ‘participatory GIS’(Geographical Information Systems) mapping. (2) Can sustainable energy law and policy-making be improved byradically increasing the transparency of legal and bureaucratic procedures as well as data-gathering exercises? (3)Finally, can the politics of sustainable energy be reformed by explicitly recognising local groups’ concerns about energy
projects and giving them equal status alongside other planning rationales?

Rany Begum, Toynbee Hall, UK
Humaira Garasia, Toynbee Hall, UK
Do youth care about politics? How about young people from neighbourhoods where poverty is commonplace?
As a researcher from a prestigious university, it can be difficult to get honest answers to questions like these. Rys
Farthing, Barnett Research Fellow at the University of Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention, has
found an elegant solution to this problem. Want to know what youth think about politics? Ask their friends.
The “Rebel Researchers” is a project between Oxford University and Toynbee Hall, in which 12 young womenfrom ethnic minority backgrounds are being trained as social researchers. The 15 to 18 year old girls live in Tower
Hamlets, a deprived borough in East London, and have been conducting focus groups since last October. Farthing
and three of the “Rebel Researchers” will present their findings.

Brown V. Board of Education and the Symbolic Uses of Supreme Court Decisions in American Politics
Jeffrey D. Hockett, University of Tulsa, USA
About the Presenter: Professor Jeffrey Hockett received his doctorate from the University of Virginia. He iscurrently Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Tulsa. Hockett’s research focuses primarily
upon the intersection of law and politics in the decisions of the United States Supreme Court. His first book,
New Deal Justice: The Constitutional Jurisprudence of Hugo L. Black, Felix Frankfurter, and Robert H. Jackson, examines
the factors that inform the differing senses of mission reflected in the constitutional decisions of three of Franklin
Roosevelt’s most famous nominees to the Supreme Court. His second book, A Storm Over this Court: Law, Politics,
and Supreme Court Decision Making in Brown v. Board of Education, employs the insights of numerous models ofSupreme Court decision making in order to illuminate the bases of the desegregation votes of the nine justices
who participated in the most famous U.S. Supreme Court case of the twentieth century.
Abstract: American legal education is predicated upon the assumption that legal meaning is found within theopinions that accompany judicial rulings. The history of the United States Supreme Court’s desegregation decisionsuggests that reality is more complicated than the conventional wisdom suggests. Indeed, the iconic status ofBrown v. Board of Education (1954) was in significant measure a function of scholarly efforts to substitute a
rationale – that the ruling was an attack upon white supremacy – for the Court’s controversial social sciencebased opinion.

Saturday Spotlight Session 1I (16:00 - 16:30)

Subsequent to Brown, scholars have contested the import of the ruling for constitutional controversies involving
race. Conservative scholars contend that a proper interpretation of this decision is one that is grounded in thecolor-blindness principle. By contrast, liberal intellectuals attempt to square Brown with the racial subordination
principle – that government may not reinforce the subordinate status of a racial group but may employ racialclassifications to aid the victims of discrimination. Certain considerations, however, reveal that the nature of thisdispute is ideological rather than legal. The group terms in which Brown characterized the psychological harms ofsegregation contravened the individualistic premises of the color-blindness principle, while the narrow context of
the judicial process prevented the justices from acknowledging the complex notion of social reality that informs
the racial subordination principle.
The upshot of these considerations is that the meaning of Supreme Court decisions is related to the efforts ofscholars and political actors to use those decisions – especially iconic rulings – as powerful symbols in partisan
battles.

Emma’s Journey: A Case Study on the Death Penalty and Some Inequalities in the Criminal Justice System
Ruth Johnson Carter, Georgia College State University, USA

spotlight speakers

About the Presenter: Ruth Johnson Carter is a Professor in the Department of Government and Sociology at GCSU
Milledgeville, Georgia. The recipient of and Excellence in Teaching Award, Fulbright Grants, Malone grants and an East
West Center Grant, she is the former editor of the Journal of Pre-and Peri-Natal Psychology. Recipient of University
System of Georgia fellowships to Morocco and South Africa, she developed the first course on Africa Culture andPolitics in the university curriculum. Dr. Carter traveled much of her life in Asia, Africa and the Middle East-- regionsof the world that are increasingly and with strong reason in the forefront of the world’s consciousness. She has known
the subject of her paper, Emma Cunningham, for more than 20 years and immersed herself in Emma’s world throughintensive personal interaction and interviews with most of those connected with her life and the issues associatedwith the death penalty.
Abstract: The murder on January 1, 1979 of a prominent white business man in the small southern American
community of Lincolnton, GA led to the arrest, trial and death row sentence of a young African-American woman
named Emma Cunningham. After an appeal and plea bargain, her sentence was commuted to life with parole.
Altogether, she spent almost 12 years in prison for a crime that considerable evidence, including the trial transcripts,
indicates that she did not commit. Her plight attracted the assistance of attorney Millard Farmer of Dead Man Walking
fame, the late Ruth Walker Hood, older sister of Pulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker and Emily Saliers, one of
the Grammy Award singing duo the Indigo Girls. Writing about Emma’s experience converges around cultural, ethical,
social and legal issues. Although Emma’s survival is a personal story of tragedy and courage, her experiences areillustrative of generally significant human behavior. Stunningly, during the most ill-fated and often ominous situations,
Emma unlike many others was motivated by “ordinary” genius to transcend, through her creative energy and ethnic
strength. This paper places Emma’s specific experiences into the larger framework of the legal and political issues toprovide a matrix for examination of the death penalty and the inequalites of the criminal justice system.The structureof the paper includes social interactions, cultural issues, and ideological frameworks.

The Politics of the Global Financial Crisis: A Failure of Theoretical and Political LeadershipJohn Kane, Griffith University, Australia
About the Presenter: Dr John Kane is a Professor of Politics in the School of Government and International Relations,
Griffith University, Australia. He obtained his undergraduate degree in politics and philosophy from the University ofBristol and his doctorate from the London School of Economics. He worked for ten years in private industry before
taking up an academic career in Australia where he teaches and researches in political theory, leadership and foreign
policy. He has been three times invited visiting professor to Yale University. He is author of many articles, chaptersand books, including The Politics of Moral Capital, Between Virtue and Power, and (with H. Patapan) The Democratic
Leader: How Democracy Defines, Empowers and Limits its Leaders. His latest Oxford UP book (with H. Patapan) is Good
Democratic Leadership: On Prudence and Judgment in Modern Democracies.
Abstract: A globalised economy needs global oversight, but responses to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) seemed
to demonstrate that the coordinated policy leadership necessary to effectively address the crisis and ensure recovery
and long-term stability does not exist. Governments took self-defensive actions, suppressing interest rates and printing
money in a virtual currency war, sustaining domestic banks and inflating stock markets with minimal discernible effecton ‘real’ economies. In Europe, where financial crisis turned into a political crisis of the whole European Union, aseries of ad hoc measures averted outright disaster while leaving structural problems unaddressed and perpetuating
inequalities, fostering resentments and deferring decisive action. This paper argues that the failure of coordinationreflects, in addition to parochial political pressures, a lack of agreement or understanding of the root causes of thecrisis and thus of any policy responses that might effectively address it. It reviews the principal policy responses ofnational governments and central banks in terms of actions taken justifications provided to argue that the confusions
and contradictions revealed are grounded, ultimately, in theoretical confusion over the nature and demands of a global
political economy. A historical comparison is made with the broad policy shift accomplished during the stagflation
crises of the 1970s and ’80s, when an alternative theoretical framework to ruling ‘Keynesianism’ was ready-made andto-hand, having been developed and promoted over decades by so-called neoliberal thinkers. Although the GFC andsubsequent prolonged recession seemed to have discredited the free market assumptions of these theorists, there
existedxxi

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

IAFOR Journals
The International Academic Forum’s Journals conform to the highest academic standards ofinternational peer review, and are published in accordance with the IAFOR publishing commitment
to make all of our published materials available online.
Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications
for no charge, wherever there isinternet access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe
undermine academic independence
and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.

IAFOR Keynotes
The IAFOR Keynotes Series is a collection of keynote addresses, or associated papers given at
our conferences. Presented as a part of the open research archive, the Keynotes series provides
an example of the range and quality of speakers at IAFOR events. These keynotes are lightly
reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also
be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conferenceor not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may
help your research.

Special Series & Monographs
The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special
monographs in print and online form. One such publication is aselection of haiku from the Annual Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award.
Eye Magazine
Through Eye magazine, the International Academic Forum’s own inhouse e-magazine publication, we hope to enlighten you to various views
and opinions of our contributors, many of whom, have presented fullresearch papers at our various conferences.
The Spring 2014 edition of Eye magazine includes an exclusive interview
with Severn Cullis-Suzuki, a new design layout, as well as some othergreat articles, op-eds and essays.
