Closing Remarks.This book offers a new analysis of the Nordic Peace after its onset in 1814, the year that marks the end to centuries of warfare between the Nordic countries, and the applicability of the Nordic solutions and principles for North East Asian conflicts. Through an analysis of three key post-1814 conflicts that the Nordic region resolved peacefully - the Union of Norway and Sweden (1814-1905), the issue on the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein between Denmark and Germany (1864-1920 & 1955), and the Aaland Islands problem between Finland and Sweden (1809-1922), the book examines how the solutions that underlie the Nordic Peace transcended causes for conflict, and if there is universal potential in the Nordic solutions for similar conflicts in North East Asia Gunnar Rekvig conducts research at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and holds a Ph.D. in International and Regional Studies from the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. He is the Deputy Director for the GlobalArctic project at the Geneva Center for Security Policy, served as an associate professor of Northern Studies at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and was the 2019-2021 Nansen Professor at the University of Akureyri. His research focuses on peace studies and international relations in the Nordic region, the Arctic, and East Asia–centered on Japan. His work emphasizes both historical and contemporary perspectives on peace and trust-building mechanisms, as well as comparative perspectives on the Nordic Region and East Asia. Amidst the war in Ukraine, his research has undergone a comprehensive reassessment, emphasizing the relevance of historical Nordic foreign and security policies.Palgrave Studies in Comparative Global History,2662-7973EuropeHistory1492-International relationsAsiaHistoryHistory of Modern EuropeInternational RelationsAsian HistoryEuropeHistory1492-.International relations.AsiaHistory.History of Modern Europe.International Relations.Asian History.355.03Rekvig Gunnar1743652MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910869157403321The Nordic Peace and Northeast Asia4171906UNINA04130nam 22007814a 450 991096622380332120251116215725.09786611722050978128172205812817220579780300130256030013025210.12987/9780300130256(CKB)1000000000472147(EBL)3420205(OCoLC)923590720(SSID)ssj0000177410(PQKBManifestationID)11156275(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000177410(PQKBWorkID)10216715(PQKB)11648523(StDuBDS)EDZ0000167162(DE-B1597)485422(OCoLC)1024008076(DE-B1597)9780300130256(Au-PeEL)EBL3420205(CaPaEBR)ebr10170896(MiAaPQ)EBC3420205(Perlego)1089600(OCoLC)1024008076(EXLCZ)99100000000047214720041006d2005 uy 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrImproving literacy in America guidelines from research /Frederick J.

Improving Literacy in America --References --IndexAn alarmingly high number of American students continue to lack proficiency in reading, math, and science. The various attempts to address this problem have all too often resulted in "silver bullet" solutions such as reducing class size or implementing voucher programs. But as the authors of this critically important book show, improving literacy also requires an understanding of complex and interrelated social issues that shape a child's learning. More than twenty years of research demonstrate that literacy success is determined by a combination of sociocultural forces including parenting, preschool, classroom instruction, and other factors that have a direct impact on a child's development. Here, Frederick J. Morrison, Heather J. Bachman, and Carol McDonald Connor present the most up-to-date research on the diverse factors that relate to a child's literacy development from preschool through early elementary school. Urging greater emphasis on the immediate sources of influence on children, the authors warn against simple, single solutions that ignore other pivotal aspects of the problem. In a concluding chapter, the authors propose seven specific recommendations for improving literacy-recommendations that can make a real difference in American education.Current perspectives in psychology.LiteracyUnited StatesPsychological aspectsLiteracySocial aspectsUnited StatesLanguage arts (Primary)United StatesReadiness for schoolUnited StatesLiteracyPsychological aspects.LiteracySocial aspectsLanguage arts (Primary)Readiness for school372.6/0973Morrison Frederick J1808504Bachman Heather J1808505Connor Carol McDonald1808506MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966223803321Improving literacy in America4358764UNINA
