Practical Implications

The authors of papers in this special issue of the Journal of Governance and Regulation come from different parts of the world such as West and South Africa, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Balkans, Western Europe, and the USA, and offer interesting, vivid and educational experiences how countries with different economic, political, cultural and regulatory frameworks deal with global challenges, testifying that the universalism of science and good governance practices transcend geopolitical conflicts and divisions. Each of these papers sheds light on some aspect of governance and provides financiers, investors, regulators, scientists, managers, professionals, students, and other interested readers with useful insights into the market opportunities and challenges of developing countries. The practical implications of these academically written papers are supported by a solid research methodology that ensures the credibility of the written word and calls for new empirical verifications.

Michel Vinaver is a French playwright, born in 1927, who was exiled to the USA during the German occupation, and began to write in the 1950s – alongside a business career until 1982, when he became Professor of Drama Studies in the University of Paris. His complete plays have recently been published in two volumes by Actes Sud, and are widely-produced in France – but in the following article he claims that his few British productions, at the Orange Tree in Richmond and the Traverse in Edinburgh, have often been closer to his textual intentions. This is one of the problems he examines in the following wide-ranging article on the successes and limitations of the French post-war policy of theatrical Decentralization. Against the benefits of financial security and non-metropolitan bias, he weighs the failures to reflect regional cultures, and the cult of the director, with its continuous pressures to be ‘different’ in the interests of promotion and critical prestige. This paper was first presented at a conference at Birmingham University in April 1990. Readers with access to copies of the original Theatre Quarterly may also find it useful to refer to the special issue on People's Theatre in France, TQ23 (1976).

Catch Up

This special issue is the culmination of an ESRC seminar series grant awarded to the authors of this editorial. We named the seminar series CATTS (Child Anxiety, Theory and Treatment Seminars) and it took the form of six highly stimulating, one-day seminars on the subject of child anxiety, with participants from clinical and academic backgrounds and from Great Britain, Europe, the USA and Australia. Most of the authors in this publication, and a sister special issue in Cognitions and Emotion (2008), participated in the CATTS series.

Finishing Processes

Precision surface finishing plays an important role in product quality owing to its direct effects on product appearance. As a result, automated precision surface finishing processes (APSFPs) are key technologies for industrial products and molds for forming and shaping processes. APSFPs can be divided into three main categories, namely, mechanical processes, electrochemical processes, and high energy beam processes. The objective of this special issue is to collect the cutting-edge research works focused on APSFPs. This issue includes 11 papers on APSFPs covering the following topics: ===danraku===- Review of ultraprecision surface finishing processes. ===danraku===- Ultraprecision surface machining and finishing with compensated feeding mechanisms. ===danraku===- Ultrasonic assisted cutting of unidirectional wetting surfaces and polishing of mold steels. ===danraku===- Vibration-assisted polishing of glass lenses. ===danraku===- Magnetic-assisted polishing of mirror surfaces. ===danraku===- Chemical-mechanical polishing of single-crystal SiC and GaN wafers. ===danraku===- Direct transfer of smoothing Au surfaces. ===danraku===- Plasma surface finishing of narrow channel walls of X-ray crystal monochromators. ===danraku===- Analysis and characterization of finished surfaces. It is expected that this issue will be helpful for readers to understand the recent developments in APSFPs and will lead to further research on APSFPs. We deeply appreciate the contributions of all authors and thank the reviewers for their incisive efforts.
