TL;DR: In this article, the authors build upon earlier work and explore some of the issues surrounding the generation of and outcomes from a coaching process model, and explore how to develop a model of coaching that is applicable to all sports, coaches and age groups.
Abstract: INTRODUCTION An examination of the considerable landscape of coaching research [1] reveals a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives and insights into coaching. Despite this, an in-depth understanding of the coaching process appears to remain lacking and we seem as far removed from a consensus about the nature of coaching as ever. Consequently, coach development and coaching practice in North America and the UK operates without reference to any guideline or models for good practice that practitioners undoubtedly crave [2, 3, 4]. It would appear that “a model of coaching is required that has at its heart sound theoretical and research foundations, which are applicable to all sports, coaches and age groups” [5, p.105]. If this is the case, and given the scale of current coaching research activity [1]; why have coaching scholars been unable to develop such a model thus far? Perhaps coaching is an enterprise where a definitive set of concepts and principles will always be elusive and as such a singular all encompassing model may not be possible. Alternatively, if it were possible, would such an approach be in the best interests of developing coaching’s conceptual base? The aim of this paper is to build upon earlier work [2] and explore some of the issues surrounding the generation of and outcomes from a coaching process model. This includes a model for coaching (idealistic representation) and a model of coaching (based on empirical research) [2, 4].

TL;DR: The authors identify six axioms that are central to conceptualizing economic geographies and explore the links between political-economic and cultural-economic approaches, suggesting that they are most productively seen as complementary both/and approaches rather than as competitive either/or ones.
Abstract: The last decade or so has been one of ongoing, at times heated, debate in economic geography as to how best to conceptualize and theorize economies and their geographies. Reflecting on these debates, I identify six axioms that are central to conceptualizing economic geographies. I then go on to consider issues of culture and the economy and the relationships between them. The paper explores the links between political-economic and cultural-economic approaches, suggesting that they are most productively seen as complementary both/and approaches rather than as competitive either/or ones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new political economy of climate change and development in which explicit attention is given to the way that ideas, power and resources are conceptualized, negotiated and implemented by different groups at different scales.
Abstract: In this article, the authors propose a new political economy of climate change and development in which explicit attention is given to the way that ideas, power and resources are conceptualised, negotiated and implemented by different groups at different scales. The climate change and development interface warrants such attention because of its importance to achieving sustainable poverty reduction outcomes, cross-sectoral nature, urgency and rapid emergence of international resource transfers, initiatives and governance architectures, and the frequent assumption of linear policymaking and apolitical, techno-managerial solutions to the climate change challenge.
