The pursuit and practice of discipline have become near ubiquitous elements of contemporary social life and parlance, as discipline has become a commonplace and ever sought-after social technology. From the celebrated “discipline of the market” proclaimed by neo-liberal politicians, to self-actualizing experiences of embodied discipline proffered by martial arts instructors, this volume showcases highly varied and complex disciplinary practices and relationships in a set of ethnographic studies. Interrogating the respective fields of work, religion, governance, leisure, education and child rearing, together the essays in this volume explore and offer new ways of thinking about discipline in everyday life.

ADP 6-22 describes enduring concepts of leadership through the core competencies and attributes required of leaders of all cohorts and all organizations, regardless of mission or setting. These principles reflect decades of experience and validated scientific knowledge.An ideal Army leader serves as a role model through strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, and moral character. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within superior leaders' intent and purpose, and in the organization's best interests. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, accomplish missions. Every member of the Army, military or civilian, is part of a team and functions in the role of leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being an effective leader. Leaders do not just lead subordinates-they also lead other leaders. Leaders are not limited to just those designated by position, rank, or authority.

Neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation around the world. For decades now, neoliberalism has been in the process of becoming a globally ascendant default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Donald Trump's recent presidential victory has been interpreted both as a repudiation and as a validation of neoliberalism’s hegemony. Rethinking Neoliberalism brings together theorists, social scientists, and public policy scholars to address neoliberalism as a governing ethic for our times. The chapters interrogate various dimensions of debates about neoliberalism while offering engaging empirical examples of neoliberalism’s effects on social and urban policy in the USA, Europe, Russia, and elsewhere. Themes discussed include: Relationship between neoliberalism, the state, and civil society Neoliberalism and social policy to discipline citizens Urban policy and how neoliberalism reshapes urban governance What it will take politically to get beyond neoliberalism. Written in a clear and accessible style, Rethinking Neoliberalism is a sophisticated synthesis of theory and practice, making it a compelling read for students of Political Science, Public Policy, Sociology, Geography, Urban Planning, Social Work and related fields, at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

Widely considered the crowning achievement in the history of international monetary relations, the classical gold standard (1880-1914) has long been treated like a holy relic. Its veneration, however, has done more to obscure than to reveal the actual nature of the era's monetary system. In The Anatomy of an International Monetary Regime, Giulio M. Gallarotti addresses the nature of the classical gold standard in its international context, offering the first comprehensive and systematic treatment of the subject. Three fundamental questions are essential to the discussion: How did the regime originate? How did it work? Why did it persist? Gallarotti uses an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon politics, economics, and ideology to explain the answers. He challenges traditional assumptions about the period, arguing that cooperation among nations or central banks was not a principal factor in either the origin or stability of the system, and that neither the British state nor the Bank of England were the leaders or managers of the gold standard. Rather, a decentralized process involving the status of gold, industrialization and economic development, the politics of gold, and liberal economic ideology provided converging incentives for starting and maintaining the system. Gallarotti's study presents the most comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination available of the nature of monetary relations in the four decades before World War I. His important, revisionist view will alter the way we think about a crucial period in the growth of the international monetary system. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of economic history and policy.

Would you like to improve your mind and reach high levels of self-control and self-discipline? Then keep reading... Self-discipline refers to the code of conduct that one prescribes for oneself in the microcosm to complete a given task or in the macrocosm under any circumstances to establish and enforce a certain standard of conduct. For example, it will be task-oriented self-discipline if I want to lose 10 pounds and decide on a three-month routine to follow a certain regime of discipline. On the other hand, when I choose to follow the "Do to others as you would have them do to you" Golden Rule, then I will become self-disciplined and follow a common pattern of behavior in my relationships. The time for resolutions is a New Year. Some resolutions will be forgotten by the end of January. If this occurs many times, we are used to a pattern of resolution-a pessimistic way of looking at any compromise that prevents us from forgiving ourselves. We stand in the deterministic philosophy of "we are what we are because we are what we are." So, most of us live in self-denial as we get disconnected from our origin and the resulting drain on our resources. The other side of the coin is that we can be self-disciplined and take our goals in life in order to stay linked to our roots. Creating an intention is described as an intense passion for a strong purpose with determined action to achieve the desired result. It is an expression of intention to create an affirmation. In our example, in three months, the objective is to lose ten pounds of weight. I have to become enthusiastic about this desire to make this desire a goal. The enthusiasm is created by visualizing myself that my goal has already been accomplished, followed by all the good and positive emotions that will flow from the performance. Once this is built in the consciousness, the affirmation will look like this, "I, Sanjay Behuria will weigh 130 pounds out of my current 140 pounds on April 12, 2009, to help me to lead a rich and safe life and look slim and sexy." Connect the Elements to have self-discipline is first to make a connection-a connection between the various elements that lead to the final result. This book covers the following topics: What is self-discipline? How does mental resistance develop? A process that leads to mental toughness How can we combine the strategies of the art of war in our daily life to stay disciplined and achieve our goals? How do you identify a target? How to stay focused and defeat your enemy? How to manage our time and ourselves? In the mind of samurai to change ourselves starting today Goals to accomplish How to remove mental blocks to avoid procrastination? How meditation works? Why doesn't failure exist? The obstacles serve to make us grow How to apply these formulas you learned on the job? The importance of concentration in life Managing stress: tips and exercises to reduce stress ... And Much More! A plan is an incremental daily action that will lead us to the ultimate outcome. The first part of the project is to start where we are. Exercise is an element that we have to focus on in order to lose the desired weight. Our exercise regime, however, will depend on our current physical state.
