Corporate Governance, Ownership Structure and Performance of Oil and Gas Firms in Nigeria: A GMM Analysis

The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Accounting, a 2020 publication by Taylor and Francis Group, presents a comprehensive overview of environmental accounting. This review focuses on a specific chapter titled "An Overview of Legitimacy Theory as Applied Within the Social and Environmental Accounting Literature." Deegan's chapter explores the definition of legitimacy theory, emphasizing the alignment of a company's values with societal values and the distinction between actual and perceived legitimacy. Notably, the absence of discussion on 'greenwashing,' a prevalent concern, raises questions. The chapter delves into the interplay of social contract and legitimacy theory, introducing the concept of a 'legitimacy gap.' It highlights manifestations through societal shifts and the 'organizational shadow'. Strategies for companies to manage legitimacy are outlined, acknowledging a lack of empirical evidence. Historical perspectives on legitimacy theory in environmental reporting are discussed, critiquing the reliance on outdated studies. Deegan enumerates criticisms of legitimacy theory, suggesting a section title change to 'Gaps in the Literature.' Despite shortcomings, the chapter provides valuable insights for experienced scholars navigating the intricacies of legitimacy theory in environmental accounting.

The Routledge handbook of vocabulary studies: A study in micro-bibliometrics

This paper reports a bibliometric analysis of two small data sets: a set of 34 papers that make up The Routledge handbook of vocabulary studies (Webb, 2020) and a set of papers dealing with second language (L2) vocabulary research taken from a single journal Frontiers in Psychology. Bibliometric maps based on author co-citations in these two data sets are presented and compared. Although the two data sets are comparable in terms of size, they appear to be very divergent. In particular, the significant sources identified in The Handbook map seem to play a relatively minor role in the Frontiers map. The obvious conclusion is that The Handbook is not as representative of L2 vocabulary research as its title might lead us to believe. The paper argues that micro-bibliometric studies like this one can sometimes highlight features that are lost in the more traditional large-scale bibliometric approach.

Routledge Handbook for Creative Futures Edited by Gabrielle Donnelly and Alfonso Montuori

Here is a weighty tome, with 37 chapters from authors with many different interests and styles. It’s a book that presents a choice: either a thorough scholarly read or a treasure trove for dipping into. It’s the latter I’d recommend for an SF audience, and it’s the approach I’ll take in this review, selecting a few shiny nuggets for comment.

Feminist Bioethics: Moving Forward in Coalition

AbstractThe Routledge Handbook of Feminist Bioethics, edited by Wendy A. Rogers et al., presents a thorough, contemporary understanding of feminist bioethics, linking feminist efforts to other critical approaches in the field of bioethics. A more demanding standard for feminist scholarship is set by engaging gender at its intersections with race, class, sexuality, and ability––intersections that require bioethicists to attend to issues like incarceration and transmisogynistic violence that are less frequently tackled in the field. Editors and contributors alike in this volume show that long‐standing feminist conceptual interventions, especially those regarding the significance of relationality and epistemic marginalization, provide key tools for a coalition of critical approaches to bioethics.

Legislating to Control Online Hate Speech: A Corpus-Assisted Semantic Analysis of French Parliamentary Debates

This corpus analysis of linguistic and semantic features in French parliamentary debates concerning online hate speech regulation, highlights tensions between state powers and private rights. Two key themes are identified: first, the problem of definition: how such online content is defined in the debates, and second, the problem of regulation: how the debates negotiate the supra-jurisdictional and individual jurisdiction issues involved, in regulating both the global online content and the responsibilities of the owners of the platforms who manage the content. For this analysis, the authors created a corpus of French National Assembly Examination Committee discussions and public sessions between July 2019 to January 2020 discussing the Loi Avia (Avia Law). The corpus was analysed using quali-quantitative methods. Overall, the study combines a top-down (global) and a bottom-up (local) analysis of the data, applying corpus semantic approaches (Lecolle et al. in Langages 210(2):35–54, 2018; Rastier in The Routledge handbook of semantics, Routledge, pp 507–522, 2015) to contextualize the analysis of the meta-discourse (Hyland in Meta-discourse: exploring interaction in writing, 1st ed. Bloomsbury Academic, Bloomsbury Collections, 2018. https://doi.org/10.5040/9781350063617). The analysis highlights the linguistic features revealing the power dynamics inherent within the discourse and counter-discourse of the dominant and opposition political parties respectively.

The Governance of Religious Diversity

Routledge Handbook on the Governance of Religious Diversity. Edited by Anna Triandafyllidou and Tina Magazzini, London and New York: Routledge, 2021, xix+327pp, $ 52.95, ISBN: 978-0-367-53826-2
 The Routledge Handbook on the Governance of Religious Diversity examines state-religion relations in more than 20 countries across the world. It particularly looks at how these states manage religious diversity. This book discusses that, in ancient times, empires and kingdoms, which were the embodiment of the states, used religion as a tool to control people. In modern times, many countries have become more secularized, hence the role of religion as a tool of control has diminished. States increasingly neglect the role of religion and religious people in society. This book argues that states with secularist ideology still need to pay attention to the role of religion in society.

What Drives Nuclear-Aspiring States? The Cases of Iran and North Korea

Why do states want to acquire nuclear weapons? In other words, what drives nuclear-aspiring states? This is the basic question that the author seeks to address in this research. To do so, this research will focus on two standout cases: Iran and North Korea. By employing structural realism as a tool of analysis, the author argues that it is the structure of the international system that drives both Iran and North Korea to acquire nuclear weapons of their own. Specifically, it is the highly unequal distribution of power both regionally and globally that encourages both states to go nuclear. At the global level, both Iran and North Korea found themselves in hostilities with a much more powerful state, the United States. The hostilities and the fact that the United States is way more powerful increase the fear of being attacked in both countries. Similarly, at the regional level, both states face neighbors that are relatively more powerful and have alliances with the United States. Thus, this imbalance of power and the fear it created in both Iran and North Korea give them great incentive to go nuclear, as nuclear weapons would act as a deterrent against any possible aggression. This research is qualitative and based on the literature study data collection method.

Study of the course syllabuses for the training of teachers of Spanish for Specific Purposes in Spanish universities

The main objective of this paper is to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the syllabus of the modules related to teaching Spanish for Specific Purposes (SSP) Spanish universities Master’s degrees registered in the RUCT. The paper focuses on the academic outcomes, the contents, and the bibliography from the syllabus. By doing so, it is possible to draw the status of the university teaching of SSP which contributes to the advance and innovation of the area. From the 31 master’s degrees selected, 27 modules related to SSP have been quantified. The employed criteria in the analysis of the syllabus belong to the Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching (2019), the Libro Blanco from the ANECA in Lengua, Literatura, Cultura y Civilización (2004), and the Vádemécum para la formación de profesores (2008). The results indicate that individual, methodological, and communicative learning outcomes stand out. Regarding the contents, a predominance of the theoretical perspective before the practical one has been found, as well as a relevant frequency of business and administrative Spanish. One of the most revealing data from the bibliographical references is that syllabuses promote reference texts published between 2004 and 2005.
