Abstract:

While reward-oriented learning can adapt and optimize behavior, this chapter shows how behavior can become anticipatory and selectively goal-oriented. Flexibility and adaptability are necessary when living in changing environmental niches. As a consequence, different locations in the environment need to be distinguished to enable selective and optimally attuned interactions. To accomplish this, sensorimotor learning is necessary. With sufficient sensorimotor knowledge, the progressively abstract learning of environmental predictive models becomes possible. These models enable forward anticipations about action consequences and incoming sensory information. As a consequence, our own influences on the environment can be distinguished from other influences, following the re-afference principle. Moreover, inverse anticipations enable the selection of the behavior that is believed to reach current goals most effectively. Coupled with motivations, goal-directed behavior can be generated self-motivatedly. Furthermore, curious, information seeking, epistemic behavior can be generated. The remainder of the book addresses how the brain accomplishes this goal-oriented, self-motivated generation of behavior and thought, where the latter can be considered mental behavior.

Abstract:

‘The morphology of liberalism’ examines the detailed structure of liberalism in order to determine how its durable and more transient features can help us to identify it as a member of a distinctive ideological family. The morphological continuity of liberalism takes into account numerous permutations and decontestations within the liberal family. They allow for considerable internal flexibility among liberalisms and consequently for the resilience and adaptability of this ideology as a whole. That flexibility is attained through two features: first, the spatial arrangements between the concepts in an ideology; and, second, the variable weighting of the ideational components of an ideology.

Abstract:

‘Iran and the Iranians’ explains that to begin to understand Iran is to appreciate its history—real and mythological—to see how different influences have been woven into a complex tapestry and how each layer has reinforced and redirected various traditions. Transcending that tradition and harnessing it for the future has been at the heart of the progressive agenda for over a century. Despite Iranians’ complex inheritance it is also true that as a political culture and civilization, the idea of Iran and the Iranians have sustained some striking continuities. The persistence of the language and the flexibility and adaptability of their culture has made it durable.

Abstract:

This chapter assesses the challenges posed by the implementation of business and human rights standards, especially the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although SMEs make up between 85 and 99 per cent of global enterprises, they have not been directly involved in the crafting of these standards and this coupled with the traditional focus on transnational enterprises gives a flavour of the formidably challenging context in which the UNGPs are to be implemented. Drawing on lessons from related disciplines such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental sustainability, the chapter explores the implications for human rights of issues such as SME identity, organizational structures, and their place in supply chains. The chapter concludes that the challenges are not overwhelming, especially if the unique characteristics of SMEs such as their flexibility, adaptability, and clear leaderships can be leveraged to achieve the objectives of the business and human rights standards.

Abstract:

In this chapter we undertake a narrative analysis of health care policy reform. We consider the beguiling and rhetorical quality of health care policy reform, and how it positions “heroes” and “villains” as it attempts to shape imagined futures, under three narrative themes—management, measurement; markets. However, we highlight the policy narrative is not entirely beguiling. A countervailing professional narrative argues that regulatory bodies and clients put their trust in the experts, which has made change slow to realize in some areas. Meanwhile, a narrative critical of policy reform makes the case for a return to bureaucracy to counter excesses of flexibility, adaptability and emphasis upon delivery associated with new public management and entrepreneurial governance. To illustrate our analysis, we draw upon a particularly propitious health care setting for policy reform, that of the English NHS. We suggest our analysis is not just transferable to other national contexts, underpinned by new public managment policy, but extends to reforms in other national settings, although the detail of the management, measurement and market themes may vary on the ground, as illustrated in the case of the US and Nordic countries.
