A conceptual study on Innovative Motivation model to Industrial Private Security Force
2020Co-Authors: V. Rangarajan, Tamil JyothiAbstract:In recent times the need and demand for Security services have grown dramatically in the wake of Security threats in all sectors irrespective of the nature of the business and size. The limitation of government is that it is neither their constitutional duty nor has the adequate resources to protect the Private sector at all times. Given the limitations , many Private sector players in Private Security Industry took the initiative to secure their properties by training, deploying the civilians to guard the commercial establishments. As a next step the organizations need to motivate the untrained, unskilled or semi skilled to suit to the job description.

Labor, Race, and Ethnicity in the West Virginia Mines: Matewan
Journal of American Ethnic History, 2011Co-Authors: ZappiaAbstract:SEVERAL YEARS AGO I taught a course on the history of the American labor movement in a labor studies program offered through the San Diego Community College District. As one who considered himself a labor historian and a student of ethnicity and immigration, I wanted to focus on the critical intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, immigration, and migration in the shaping of the history of the working class and unionization in the United States. I knew that most of my students were going to be union activists who worked full-time and spent much of the rest of their energy in representing their fellow workers. So, I decided to assign only a relatively brief standard text as the core reading. To reinForce the significance of ethnicity in American working-class formation and to promote discussion of how ethnicity and immigration affected the labor movement, I also added Thomas Bell’s novel Out of This Furnace. Last of all, I wanted to add a film, preferably a drama rather than a documentary, that would hold the students’ attention and inform their understanding of the roles played by ethnicity and race in U.S. labor history. The film would have to be historically accurate, authentic in its visual images, and able to stimulate discussion on the major issues addressed in the course. The film I chose was Matewan (1987), written and directed by independent filmmaker John Sayles. It recounts the events of a 1920 coal miners’ strike in Mingo County, West Virginia, that resulted in a bloody encounter between miners and agents of the coal company’s Private Security Force on the main street of Matewan, West Virginia. John Sayles made Matewan for many reasons, not the least of which was that it was an incredible story, one in which competing visions of America’s future clashed in the hills and hollows of quasi-feudal West Virginia. The film’s central character is Joe Kenehan, who is sent by the United Mine Workers (UMW) to aid the strikers. Sayles created this fictional organizer as an ardent pacifist so that he could focus upon the question of whether social justice can be achieved without violence, especially when those in power rarely shrink from using violence and when the arena for struggle is

This is not a threat: Conspiracy For Good
International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media, 2015Co-Authors: Lindsay Brandon HunterAbstract:In the summer of 2010, the pervasive game Conspiracy For Good, conceived by Tim Kring and sponsored by Nokia, pitted players against the fictional Blackwell Briggs, a global corporation bent on using a Private Security Force and CCTV network to surveil British citizens in the name of fighting crime and terrorism. In the game, players were recruited to join a ‘conspiracy for good’, in which socially responsible individuals organized to thwart the villainous corporation's proposed overreach. In this article, I explore Conspiracy For Good's potential to define and orient the subjectivities of its players, and in particular to place in its players in specific relationships to surveillant practices. The game scenario identifies surveillance as troublesome in the hands of the overtly malevolent Blackwell Briggs, but simultaneously a powerful tool for resistance of corporate overreach in the hands of consumers. By positioning game sponsor Nokia on the side of right in the game's melodramatic central conflict bet...

The Attlee Government and the Collapse of British Power in Iran, 1945-1951
2015Co-Authors: J TaylorAbstract:Despite the vast amount of literature concerned with the Attlee government’s management of the British Empire, there are still a number of key knowledge gaps, not least concerning Anglo-Iranian relations during this period. Although generally perceived as an independent nation, this thesis argues that Iran should be considered part of the informal empire, thanks to the disproportionate influence wielded there by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The company, a state owned, but Privately managed organisation, was the leading source of taxes and foreign currency for the Iranian Exchequer and supplied not only jobs, but also roads, housing and even policing through its Private Security Force. At the end of the Second World War it seemed to be in an insurmountable position: a totem of informal domination. Indeed, the vast Abadan oil refinery was Britain’s largest single overseas asset. However, within just six years the oil company had been nationalised and Britain’s informal hold in Iran destroyed. This thesis aims to outline why this happened and to argue that British power collapsed due to a noxious mixture of orientalism and mismanagement within both the government and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company itself. It will argue that the British failed to understand the Iranian political system or Iranian society and applied wrongheaded policies with little by way of a long-term vision. As economic and political conditions in Iran deteriorated, the Foreign Office found it impossible to align the oil company’s goals with its own, exacerbating fissures between them. At the root of the crisis was a clash between Iranian nationalism and the Attlee government’s seemingly irreconcilable goals of building a New Jerusalem at home while simultaneously raising living standards across the empire. Watching from the sidelines, the United States, Britain’s most important ally, grew increasingly concerned that unrest in Iran could lead to communism, necessitating that they become ever more embroiled in an area with which they had few identifiable interests. Utilising primary research carried out in public and Private archives on both sides of the Atlantic, plus a wide range of secondary materials, this thesis provides new insights into the collapse of British power in Iran and a valuable contribution to wider arguments as to the success of the Attlee government’s foreign policy. Particular emphasis is given to discussing the plurality of empire, the interplay between diplomatic and non-diplomatic actors operating at its fringes and the challenges of fusing the interests of the public and Private sectors.
