Authority and Authoritative Texts in the Platonist Tradition
All disciplines can count on a noble founder, and the representation of this founder as an authority is key in order to construe a discipline's identity.This book sheds light on how Plato and other authorities were represented in one of the most long-lasting traditions of all time.It leads the reader through exegesis and polemics, recovery of the past and construction of a philosophical identity.From Xenocrates to Proclus, from the sceptical shift to the re-establishment of dogmatism, from the Mosaic of the Philosophers to the Neoplatonist Commentaries, the construction of authority emerges as a way of access to the core of the Platonist tradition.

Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.

Authority and Forms of Political Protest in Indian Tradition
In ancient India, there was a close link between the nature of political authority and forms of political protest.Authority of the king was legitimized through the Vedic rituals such as consecration ceremony.Second method of legitimization was based on the consent of the people which was secured through social contract theory of origin of kingship.Indian thinkers argued that the king who did not follow the principle of Dharma would suffer loss of authority. In ancient India, the people followed various methods of protest to bring about change in the unjust policies of the government.If the king did not change his behavior after the protest, the people tried to overthrow the government.They used both nonviolent and violent methods. They offered dharna, demonstrations, fasting, jumping in fire to register protest, non-payment of taxes, assassinations of the tyrants and mass lynching of wicked despots.Freedom fighters in modern India followed some of these forms of protest to fight against foreign rule.It is for the first time that the forms of protest are described and critically analyzed in a book.

'Tradition or remnant?'
Tradition and remnant can be seen as two different concepts. Tradition refers to practices, beliefs, or customs that are passed down through generations and are actively maintained and celebrated within a culture or community. On the other hand, a remnant refers to something that remains from the past, often as a surviving trace or fragment of what once was. While tradition is actively upheld and passed down, a remnant may be a leftover or residual aspect of a culture or practice that has faded or disappeared over time.

Which federal states have sole decision-making authority?
In a federal system like the United States, federal states that have sole decision-making authority are often referred to as "unitary states." In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.
