277 FOURTEEN Biomechanical constraints to stair negotiation Constantinos Maganaris, Vasilios Baltzopoulos, David Jones, Irene Di Giulio, Neil Reeves, James Gavin, Alistair Ewen, Stephanie King and Mike Roys Introduction The majority of falls in old age occur during stair descent (Svanstrom, 1974; Tinetti et al, 1988; Startzell et al, 2000; Hamel and Cavanagh, 2004). The physical injuries arising from such falls are of obvious concern, but of equal importance is the fear of falling, and loss of confidence and mobility. Therefore, it is imperative to

national policy. Rather, spheres of governance beyond the national can be pivotal in the generation and unfolding of policy (see Stenson and Edwards, 2004 ; Edwards and Hughes, 2005 ; Devroe et al, 2017 ). Accordingly, this chapter aims to identify different mechanisms and relations of decision-making that facilitate or hinder the negotiation, resistance and subversion of cannabis policy at the subnational level. First, the empirical focus on England & Wales and the Netherlands is continued, comparing and contrasting the representation of problems at the national

Introduction: why do climate negotiations stall? Human-made climate change is a reality ( IPCC, 1996 ). In order to organise action to collectively tackle it, global cooperation in the negotiations acting through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is crucial. However, although progress has been made in some areas, with 26 conferences of the parties (COPs) meetings since 1995, disillusionment and delay has set in because sufficiently strong measures against climate change have not yet emerged from the process. Meanwhile
their own internal will or resolve to divorce is dialogical and unstably tied to others’ expressed views. While these levels of the relational negotiation of divorce may be explicit in South Asian contexts, we suggest that there are broader implications for family sociology. The context of British South Asian Muslim families seems to raise particularly piqued insights to the relational negotiation of the decision to divorce. In the literature on Euro-American contexts, the conjugal bond tends to be highly emphasised. The presumption is that uncoupling involves
93 6 The Challenges of Legalized Peacemaking: The Case of the 2012–16 Peace Negotiations in Colombia Asli Ozcelik Introduction The normativization of peace mediation, particularly by reference to international law, has shaped the field significantly in the 21st century. The United Nations (UN), regional organizations, international financial institutions, states active in the field of mediation, and non-governmental organizations have all adopted codes of conduct, guidelines and policies to provide their mediators with normative and operational guidance

Some decisions are furthermore not the result of explicit discussions but rather of more implicit processes ( Roman and Peterson, 2011 ; cf. Alsarve and Boye, 2012 ). This period can also be seen as a critical and formative time, when gendered patterns and practices are established (cf. Fox, 2009 ; Rose et al, 2015 ). In this article the aim is to explore the negotiation processes among Swedish first-time parents; more specifically it studies the

In brief, the retirement of the baby boomer generation has already begun, and in just two decades it is projected that 20% of the North American population will be 65 years or older (Menec et al, 2015; Statistics Canada, 2019).
