The Strategist's Handbook
Authors: Galpin Timothy 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe Strategist’s Handbook is a collection of the best materials, insights, tools, and templates that comprise the core Strategy course taught in the undergraduate, MBA, executive MBA, and postgraduate diploma programs at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Each of the best practices, pitfalls to avoid, tools, and templates in this book has been field-tested and refined for over three decades while working with for-profit, not-for-profit, and government organizations, across multiple industries around the globe to help them develop and implement their strategies. The guidance and tools can be applied in small, mid-sized, and large organizations, no matter their stage of development. While this is a practical “how-to” book, the tools and approaches presented are based on a solid foundation of well-established theory and extensive research that is also highlighted within each chapter.
Communicate Even If There Is Nothing to Tell
Authors: Galpin Timothy 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAs early as three decades ago, management research and writing identified communications as a key component of effective organizational transformation. Throughout strategic transformation efforts, management need to provide effective communications so that rumors are not the main source of information. Unfortunately, however, ineffective strategic communications seem to be the rule rather than the norm. Thus, this chapter presents the best practices, potential pitfalls, tools, and templates for planning and delivering effective organizational change communications, including the top ten reported reasons strategic communications are often ineffective, a four-phase strategic communications process, and a communications planning matrix for management to build a comprehensive strategic transformation communications plan.
Your Best Players Will Find a New Team First—Retain and Re-Engage Them
Authors: Galpin Timothy 
Published: August 2023

AbstractToday’s careers are more a collection of assignments than an accumulation of years at one firm. Work, especially at managerial levels, has become more of an activity than a place. Twenty- to thirty-year careers at patriarchal corporations are becoming extinct. Consequently, there has been an erosion of employees’ loyalty toward their employers. One effect of this development is the increased difficulty of retaining the organization’s “key talent.” Moreover, even when key personnel stay on board, they lose their commitment, especially when the work environment becomes unstable, uncertain, or shifts dramatically, as is often the case during strategy execution. Hence, this chapter presents the best practices, key pitfalls, and tools for key talent retention and re-engagement during strategic transformation, including a retention and re-engagement planning matrix.
Your Strategy Needs a Nudge—Aligning Organizational Culture with Strategy
Authors: Galpin Timothy 
Published: August 2023

AbstractAchieving and sustaining the goals of organizational change is difficult at best and for many organizations seemingly impossible. Most transformation initiatives fall short of reaching their goals where “the rubber hits the road,” during implementation. Effective strategy execution requires that changes in operations, systems, processes, and procedures are all clearly connected to an organization’s culture. Making this connection not only enables effective implementation but also embeds strategic change in the day-to-day life of the organization, reinforcing and sustaining desired outcomes such as lower costs, increased revenue, greater market share, improved service, or quicker processes. Although many managers recognize that connecting culture with strategy is important for getting desired strategic changes to “stick,” most do not know how to go about it. Therefore, this chapter presents a pragmatic approach to aligning organizational culture with strategy, including a cultural alignment model identifying twelve “cultural levers” to align organizational culture with strategy.
Pneumatic Circumcision
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that Paul thinks Jews will retain their circumcision in the resurrection on their future pneumatic bodies. Paul understands future resurrection to inform the transformation of the material of human bodies to become pneuma, but that the form of the bodies will stay the same. In ancient Judaism from Jubilees through the later rabbis, there is the idea that circumcision was a part of perfected bodies, whether on angels or the great patriarchs of the past. In wider Jewish traditions about resurrection, the general pattern is that there is continuity of body between the bodies of the dead and the bodies of the risen; there must be continuity for it to be the same person who is raised. Paul argues in 1 Corinthians 15 that the bodies must shed perishability and mortality but must become imperishable and immortal. This does not mean that the contours of the body necessarily change but that they are no longer subject to decay and death. From a Graeco-Roman perspective, then, as Jews in the future retain their circumcision they will remain permanently disabled.
Epilogue
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter draws out the implications of the book as a whole, especially the work’s contribution towards understanding disabilities previously unrecognized in the ancient world. It highlights how the ancient analysis of previously unrecognized disabilities can help interrogate ableist and dehumanizing cultures in our world today, and focuses especially intactivism (the idea that circumcision is a form of infant genital mutilation) and the religious treatment of those who are perceived to be ‘demonized,’ in other words, those who are thought to be possessed or inhabited by demonic forces. By analysing disabilities based on relative bodily ideals we are able to interrogate conditions that today would not be considered disabilities by medicalized taxonomies.
Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Curious Kin reimagines care theory to account for the complexity of posthuman interdependencies. It does so by collecting twenty-first-century texts that imagine unconventional caregiving that challenges the anthropocentric assumptions of humanist care models and offer provocative alternatives that convey the messy complexity of posthuman care. The book analyzes these contemporary literary and cinematic speculations of more-than-human companionship in relation to numerous critical discourses—posthumanism, care philosophy, feminist materialism, affect theory, critical race theory, Indigenous studies—in order to propose a dynamic model of posthuman care that addresses humans and nonumans as mutually constituting, vulnerable, embodied, and embedded companion species.
Introduction
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care develops posthuman care as a vital concept attendant to the range of affects, energies, behaviors, attachments, dependencies—both visible and invisible—that produce and sustain life in more-than-human worlds. The book draws together cultural productions, primarily narrative fictions, that challenge humanist conceptions of care in their imaginative depiction of more-than-human affective bonds. The book’s introduction defines and interrogates Curious Kin’s title terms—“curious,” “kin,” “posthuman,” and “care”—and explains its methodology, which analyzes fictional representations of unconventional more-than-human relations as dynamic models of posthuman care.
Natural Law and Modern Society
Authors: Coyle Sean 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This book offers a new natural law theory for modern times. Grounded in the thought of St Thomas Aquinas, it ranges from discussion of ethics and the modern-day relevance of scholastic method to treatments of law, justice, the common good, human and natural rights, obligation, and political authority. It connects these questions to an appreciation of divine law and action. The reader is introduced to the distinction between the ‘core morality’ of a community (the part of the common good that is timeless and universal) and the part of the common good that is particular and of the moment. Law is preeminent amongst social institutions that articulate the core morality, whether that of domestic politics or of international community. The reader is taken through the subjects whilst addressing other prominent theories of natural law: from Finnis and MacIntyre to Murphy and Crowe.
Law and Legality
Authors: Coyle Sean 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter X begins by establishing its scope—law in the focal sense, that is, just law. It begins with a discussion of Hart’s theory of law, and proceeds to a discussion of theories such as that of John Finnis, which seek to understand the importance of law in relation to the concept of coordination. A modified idea of the rule of law is then presented; from there a wider discussion of law and morality is undertaken, critical of legal positivism; followed by a discussion of legal reason; and finally to Köpcke’s account of validity as well as Finnis’s and Murphy’s.
North Korea and the Global Nuclear Order
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractFor a state that has gained a global reputation as a violator of international norms, not least through its unwavering pursuit of nuclear weapons, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s determination to become a nuclear-armed state is puzzling. If nuclear weapons can beget security but also insecurity—as well as other costs—for the state, how might we understand this pursuit, and the delinquent behaviour that has arisen from it? This book will offer an answer to these questions, focusing on North Korea’s quest for status in international relations and developing the theoretical framework of ‘strategic delinquency’. Drawing upon unprecedentedly rich empirical evidence, this book makes the overarching argument that North Korea has strategically deployed behaviour that breaks international norms, and induced low status, in order reap benefits. In so doing, this book posits that North Korea has, over time, learnt that despite the low status and opprobrium that might ensue from delinquent behaviour, bad behaviour can pay.
The world through Pyongyang’s eyes
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHow does North Korea order its external international environment? How has its world view evolved with time? Chapter 1 examines just what constitutes North Korea’s perspective on international relations and the factors influencing the formation of this world view. From the regime-state’s inception in 1948 under the leadership of Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s conceptualization of its state identity and outlook on international relations were influenced by two principal factors: first, the legacies of Japanese imperial rule over the then unified Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945; second, the formation of an oppositional identity to the United States as exemplified by the ideological prism of the US ‘hostile policy’. These two factors were formative in consolidating Kim Il Sung’s power, in the development of the state ideology of juche, and in influencing North Korea’s foreign relations. This chapter explores how, after the unfinished conclusion of the Korean War in 1953, North Korea’s relationships with China and the Soviet Union became more precarious with time. With Kim Il Sung’s ‘Third World Diplomacy’ failing to bear fruit, North Korea’s world view of the US ‘hostile policy’ would only intensify as the end of the Cold War drew nigh.
Epilogue
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe epilogue brings the findings of this book right up to the present day, most notably with respect to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in late 2019 and early 2020. It argues how North Korea’s more recent behaviour with respect to the global nuclear order remains heavily intertwined with questions of domestic politics, particularly given the self-inflicted measures taken in the wake of the pandemic. As Kim Jong Un enters his second decade as the Supreme Leader of North Korea, questions remain as to how the DPRK will reconcile its ongoing nuclear ambitions with a stagnating domestic economy and the rise to power of a new, conservative South Korean administration and the Biden administration in the United States. Will North Korea revive relations with China and Russia in an attempt to ease multilateral sanctions? Alternatively, will the DPRK be prepared to offer concessions on its existing nuclear programme as its domestic economic situation worsens?
Introduction
Authors: Colonomos Ariel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This book argues that balancing lives with interests is constitutive of the political defined as a body politic. The pricing of lives—defined as the material equivalent to human life—is not only a highly controversial question that we can trace back to the origins of history and notably religion. It is more than that: we constantly measure the value of human lives when, in order to save people, we pay or make concessions vis-á-vis our interests, we also express goals such as victory, national interest, or money in terms of a cost in human lives. Pricing lives reveals an art of measurement that is inherent to the political and which has two facets: we pay with lives and we pay for lives. The scheme of paying for lives (philanthropy) and paying with lives (patriarchy) can occur at the level of state, market, community, or between these levels. Moreover, the equilibrium we reach depends upon the tension between two historical dynamics, humanism and materialism. To that extent, pricing lives reveals our preferences. The introduction describes the methodology of the book and its interdisciplinary approach, which is both explanatory and normative. The goal of this book is to contribute, from a political theory perspective that includes the social sciences, to a reflection on the material equivalence to lives set in the context of liberal democracies.
Henry V
Authors: Colonomos Ariel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on a discussion of Shakespeare’s play Henry V. His main character, the young king, gambles for his life and with the lives of others, within his family, the family he wants to create, and when he is waging war. This chapter shows that the laws of war, which, during the medieval period, relied upon chivalry honour codes are, in this play, the reflection of Shakespeare’s original ‘political arithmetic’. These calculations introduce us to many of the dilemmas that pertain to the domain of war in contemporary world politics, they also lie at the foundation of the laws of war and international humanitarian law. Henry V announces a world where the state will take over as the main driving force in weighing the value of lives.
The challenge of measuring the measures
Authors: Colonomos Ariel 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses proportionality from a political theory perspective while showing the importance of the balancing between interests and lives. Such balancing constitutes a true challenge for the state. Both in the just war tradition (jus ad bellum and, mostly, jus in bello) and in international humanitarian law (IHL), proportionality stands as one of the main laws of warfare. In the context of jus in bello, Proportionality is a measure of the relative weight of military advantage as compared to the suffering caused to civilians; it is, therefore, a measure of two measurements. In order for a military decision to be proportionate, the latter ought not to outweigh the former. This norm is fully in line with the idea of the Hobbesian state, which, always, seeks to measure the weight of lives and compare it to its own interest. Indeed, Hobbes’s frontispieces to the Leviathan as well to his Elements of Law are a striking picture of the central role that the measurement of lives plays in politics: a dynamic to which the second part of the book refers as ‘Hobbes’s hidden pendulum’. When the state assesses proportionality, the state is in danger of losing its balance and is, therefore, threatened. This chapter discusses the difficulties and the pitfalls of the use of proportionality and raises the issue of the non-commensurability of goods that lies at the core of the proportionality calculus. The norm of proportionality pushes the state to confront its own limitations.
Oasis Societies
Authors: Rich Kelly M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5 interprets Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient (1992) as an experiment in transnational welfare without the state. It argues that the real romance of The English Patient is not its desert love affair, but rather the newfound intimacies of the Italian villa, inflected through practices of care. These romances engage and critique the rise of the heritage industry and the discourse of imperial nostalgia, both of which sought to make older, prewar Britishness loveable again. Yet Ondaatje’s novel still gives an exceptionally earnest treatment of wartime sociality, giving into the enchantment of welfarist domestic space. While critics tend to characterize this quality as “bad form,” this chapter reads it as a testament to the enduring legacy of Britain’s reconstructive imagination. The chapter then concludes with a consideration of Ondaatje’s most recent novel, Warlight (2018), a conservative reworking of The English Patient that forecloses the social and political potential of reconstruction, and eschews the value of an international community.
Indigenous Peoples and Mining
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Indigenous peoples have occupied their territories for thousands of years, territories increasingly being mined by an industry applying the most modern extractive, marketing, and transport technologies on a scale that can be difficult to comprehend. Mining reshapes landscapes, literally moving mountains and diverting rivers, landscapes that their Indigenous owners often believe were originally shaped by ancestor beings that still reside at sites where they completed their work. This book seeks to understand the political, social, economic, and cultural dynamic that is created by the relentless expansion of mining into Indigenous territories. Contributing to such an understanding involves a task of global significance. Indigenous peoples embody a large part of the world’s linguistic and cultural diversity. Their lands cover an estimated 25 per cent of the world’s land surface, intersect with about 40 per cent of all ecologically intact landscapes, and contain a large proportion of the world’s mineral resources. Must interaction between Indigenous peoples and mining involve the destruction of Indigenous peoples, territories, and cultures? Can the remarkable resilience that has allowed Indigenous peoples to survive for millennia enable them not only to survive, but to capitalize on the development opportunities offered by mining? What role are governments, international organizations, and civil society playing in shaping relations between mining and Indigenous peoples? The book addresses these questions, drawing on the author’s 30-year history of working with Indigenous communities as they deal with mining projects, and on the experiences of Indigenous peoples in some 15 countries from different regions of the globe.
Chile
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter traces key points in the evolution of relations between Indigenous peoples, the state, and the mining industry in Chile. These include the growing legal recognition of Indigenous rights, but also continued limitations of these because of a sustained pursuit by the state of neo-liberal economic reform. Two case studies follow which allow detailed analysis of different facets of relations between the state, the mining industry, and Indigenous peoples in contemporary Chile. The first focuses on Pascua Lama, and considers why and how Diaguita peoples and their allies were able to stop a major multinational company from developing what would have become one of the world’s largest gold mines. The second traces engagement of Atacameño peoples with the copper and lithium industries in northern Chile, including through a detailed analysis of an agreement negotiated in 2016 between Rockwood, a wholly owned subsidiary of Albemarle Corporation, one of the world’s largest lithium producer, and 18 Atacameño communities. In combination, the case studies also allow further examination of Indigenous strategies of engagement and resistance.
Botswana and South Africa
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter seeks to highlight what is distinctive about the situation of Indigenous peoples in Africa, in particular the frequent refusal of states to acknowledge that Indigenous peoples even exist within their boundaries, and problems created by fragility in the rule of law for enforcement of Indigenous rights where these are recognized. The chapter also explores why, though faced with some common problems, individual Indigenous peoples can experience different outcomes. The range of outcomes evident in Africa is illustrated through case studies of government policy and histories of development for San people whose homeland is the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, and for the Xholobeni community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The chapter concludes by considering the wider lessons that these different histories reveal about the factors shaping Indigenous experiences with extractive industries.
A Neopragmatist Approach to Modality
Authors: Thomasson Amie L. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Modality has long presented formidable philosophical problems, such as whether there are modal properties, facts, or possible worlds, and how we could know them. This chapter argues that we can make a better approach to these problems if we start a step back, beginning not with metaphysical and epistemological questions, but rather with questions about what functions modal discourse serves, and what rules it follows. Building on work from systemic functional linguistics, the chapter aims to analyse the range of functions different forms of modal discourse serve, in a way that enables us to address questions about the functions and rules of modal discourse in a systematic and fine-grained way. It also argues that this work on the functions and rules governing modal discourse is relevant to traditional philosophical problems about modality, since many of the traditional problems arise out of misunderstandings about the discourse.
A Pragmatic Genealogy of Rule-Following
Authors: Pettit Philip 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
How do creatures like us intentionally track certain properties when we use words to predicate them, yet have no means of defining those terms? This is the rule-following problem posed by Wittgenstein and Kripke. The answer defended is that we do so as a byproduct of practices that are well-documented as common across our species: sensitization, joint action, and teaching and learning. We can be sensitized to instances of a property or class, as even a simple animal can be sensitized under conditioning. Being committed to acting jointly with one another, we can become aware of such a class as an abstract entity. And being creatures who teach and learn from one another, within and across generations, we can recognize that if we diverge in assignments to a class, predications of a property, then at least one of us is not operating properly.
