Volume 6: War, Peace and SecurityISBN-13: 9780444532442Price: €99.95 £68.99 $120.00October 2008

Despite drastic change to the world’s political economy, including an end to the era of super-power rivalry, there has been no peace dividend; ethnic conflict and human rights violations, terrorism, potential nuclear confrontation, and the prospect of energy, water and environmental conflict, are all current problems. This book attempts to foster policies that provide not only military, but also economic, social and political security.

Volume 7: Armed Forces and Conflict Resolution: Sociological PerspectivesISBN-13: 9781848551220Price: €99.95 £68.99 $120.00October 2008

Around the globe, military action has become more important, more difficult, more controversial, and, at the same time, increasingly insufficient. At the same time, there has been relatively little development of parallel political systems that work to resolve conflicts. With armed forces engaged in a hitherto unseen range of military operations, this volume is a timely addition to the literature.

Advances in Group Processes: Justice, Volume 25Edited by: Karen A. Hegtvedt and Jodie Clay-WarnerISBN: 9780762308989Pub date: 8 August 2008Price: €97.95 £65.99 $117.00

Justice processes operate in small groups, organizations, institutions, as well as society as a whole. Scholars from a variety of disciplines tackle a wide range of fundamental issues about justice. This volume brings together sociologists and psychologists who address issues pertaining to distributive, procedural, and interactional justice using a range of methodologies. Substantively, authors grapple with issues relevant to the processes underlying justice evaluations, including motivations, perceptions, identities, ideologies and exclusionary practices. They also consider the consequences of these evaluations, focusing on negative emotions, moral outrage, social action, and dispute resolution choices. In doing so, this volume highlights the role of the social structure in justice processes, thereby emphasizing that justice is more than just threads of individual assessments. Instead, justice is a collective process through which groups construct meaning and maintain the fabric of society.

Emotions, Ethics and Decision Making. Research on Emotions in Organizations, Volume 4Edited by: Wilfred J. Zerbe, Charmine E. J. Hartel and Neal M. AshkanasyISBN: 9781846639401Pub date: 25 July 2008Price: €100.00 £70.00 $120.00

Affect and emotion have been recognized as important factors in understanding behavior in organizations, as evidenced by the increasing frequency of special journal issues, themed conferences, and books and articles devoted to the topic. The articles in this volume represent a selection of the best papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Emotions and Organizational Life (which was held in London, England, in June 2004), together with invited papers by some of the leading scholars in the field. The theme of this volume, “Individual and Organizational Perspectives on Emotion Management and Display”, concerns the management by organizations of the emotions of employees and the effects on individuals. It represents a cross-section of cutting-edge research in the field and includes contributions from established leading scholars as well as the “rising stars” in the field.

Voice and Silence in OrganizationsEdited by: Jerald Greenberg, Marissa S. Edwards and Chad T. BrinsfieldISBN: 9780080467351Pub date: December 2008Price: €105.00 £70.00 $125.00

Among the most fundamental decisions made by people in the workplace is that involving whether or not to express their ideas and concerns – or even whether it is possible to do so. Are employees encouraged to speak up or to pipe down? Do they share ideas openly or do they remain silent in ways that are hurtful to individuals and harmful to the functioning of their organizations? Moving beyond the extreme actions of whistle-blowers, questions about having voice (may I speak?), exercising voice (do I speak?), the content of voice (what do I say?), and presumed reactions to voice (how will others respond to what I say?) are ubiquitous ones that frame the everyday behavior of people in organizations.

Voice and Silence in Organizations is a collection of 14 original essays that address these and related issues from a wide variety of scholarly perspectives. Chapters by highly regarded psychologists, sociologists and management scholars from around the world offer new conceptual insights and empirical findings that promise to become valuable contributions to this burgeoning area. As the first book of its kind on this topic, Voice and Silence in Organizations is poised to become a classic.
