A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities

A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities

A Theory of De Facto States offers a new perspective on the phenomenon of de facto states — political communities that manifest forms of statehood in international politics but lack international legal recognition — zooming in on two prominent examples Somaliland and Kosovo. Employing a thorough understanding of classical realist theories of international relations this book provides a fresh critique of the common ways in which existing research tends to identify the ostensible state features of these communities. In contrast to the prevalent portrayals of such features in terms of international legal discursive and/or everyday logics this book argues that de facto states can be most fundamentally characterised as exceptional polities in international relations. Showcasing how the statehood and sovereignty of de facto states is based in international political crises this book concludes that these entities function as recurring disruptions of any supposed international political order. A Theory of De Facto States will therefore be of interest to researchers of secession de facto statehood and International Relations theory alike. | A Theory of De Facto States Classical Realism and Exceptional Polities

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin on People and Planet

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin on People and Planet

Humanity's relationship to nature is central to the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin an influential priest and scientist of the twentieth century. Teilhard believed that spiritual development must be viewed alongside material development and that evolutionary theory lies at the heart of humanity's understanding of its place in the world. 'Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on People and Planet' argues that Teilhard's cosmic mysticism and intense interest in both cosmological and evolutionary sciences are highly relevant to current debates about how best to construct a meaningful spirituality. The book offers a critical revision of Teilhard's thought in the light of current debates in evolutionary science eco-theology and environmental ethics. The essays present fresh interpretations of Teilhard's work and point to the significance of his thought in the contemporary study of science and religion.

Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

This collection offers insights into the transnational and translingual implications of Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex) a text that has served as foundational for feminisms worldwide since its publication in 1949. Little scholarly attention has been devoted to how the original French-language source text made its way into languages other than English. This is a shocking omission given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir’s essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe. This volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with Le Deuxième Sexe (including chapters on the Chinese Japanese Arabic Hungarian and Polish translations). As such this collection will be essential to any scholar of Beauvoir’s philosophy and its contributions to feminist discourses. | Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Michael Dummett eminent filosoof en scherpzinnig maatschappijcriticus pleit al vele jaren voor een eerlijke behandeling van immigranten en vluchtelingen in Europa. In dit inzichtelijke boek heeft hij voor de eerste keer al zijn gedachten over deze belangrijke kwestie gebundeld. Na een eerste verkenning van de verwarde en vaak zeer onrechtvaardige opvattingen over immigratie onderwerpt Dummett de principes en rechtvaardigingen van het desbetreffende overheidsbeleid aan een nauwkeurig onderzoek waarbij hij erop wijst dat dit beleid vaak in strijd is met de rechten van vluchtelingen zoals die in het Verdrag van Gen zijn neergelegd. Aan de hand van confronterende en vaak aangrijpende voorbeelden wijst Vluchtelingen en immigratie de weg naar een nieuwe meer menswaardige benadering van een probleem dat wij niet mogen negeren.

(De)constructing Societal Threats During Times of Deep Mediatization

(De)constructing Societal Threats During Times of Deep Mediatization

This book explores how both elite and non-elite actors frame societal threats such as the refugee crisis and COVID-19 using both digital and traditional media. It also explores ways in which the framing of these issues as threatening can be challenged using these platforms. People typically experience societal threats such as war and terrorism through the media they consume both on and offline. Much of the research in this area to date focuses on either how political and media elites present these issues to citizens or audience responses to these frames. This book takes a different approach by focusing on how issues such as the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic are both constructed and deconstructed in an era of hybrid media. It draws on a range of traditional and innovative research methodologies to explore how these issues are framed as ‘threats’ within deeply mediatized societies ranging from content analysis of newspaper coverage of the Macedonian name dispute in Greece to investigating conspiratorial communities on YouTube using Systemic Functional Linguistics. In doing so this book enriches our understanding of not only how civil and uncivil actors frame these issues but also their impact on societal resilience towards future crises. (De)constructing Societal Threats During Times of Deep Mediatization will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of Communication Studies Media Studies Journalism Cultural Studies Research Methods Sociology and Politics. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of The Communication Review.

Ageing Austerity and Neoliberalism Lived Experiences of Older People in a De-Industrialised Town

Ageing Austerity and Neoliberalism Lived Experiences of Older People in a De-Industrialised Town

This book explores how neoliberalism and austerity have affected older people living within a deindustrialised town utilising a Foucauldian approach and an ethnographic methodology. It seeks to bridge the gap between high sociological theory and a research focus upon older people. The link between the micro (real people within a real place) and macro (abstract processes) is examined and a mid-range theory of change is innovatively developed to highlight how older people are having to negotiate national transformations at the everyday level. Key themes within this book include the recreation of human subjectivity antiwelfarism the stigmatisation and exclusion of the poor the fragmentation of the working class and nostalgia. Innovative terms such as ‘stigma-adaptation’ and ‘abnormal abnormality’ are included to help deepen our knowledge and understanding of the social sciences to highlight the injustices caused by current global processes and to ultimately inform change. This book will be of interest to scholars and students across the social sciences particularly those studying inequalities in the modern world neoliberalism and the economy social theory ageing and older people and community studies and postgraduates who are seeking to undertake applied research. It would also be valuable for policymakers and service providers. | Ageing Austerity and Neoliberalism Lived Experiences of Older People in a De-Industrialised Town

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

First published in 1975 South Wales Miners starts with the War of Empires when nearly 50 000 Welsh miners almost one-fifth of the total manpower of their coalfield responded to the call and voluntarily enlisted in the British armed forces. The author uncovers how the coalowners in the meantime took advantage of the war emergency to deny the remaining miners a fair recompense for their toil and of the bitter strife that followed. The book tells the story of what led up to the General Strike and here the author uses hitherto hidden sources of information. The picture is revealed of what was a virtual conspiracy between the Baldwin-Churchill Government and the mineowners not only to cut wages and lengthen hours but to cripple British trade unionism. When the miners held out through a seven-month lockout the efforts of these highly placed conspirators recoiled on their own heads and on the whole economy of British Empire. This book will be of interest to students of history labour studies economics and political science. | South Wales Miners: Glowyr de Cymru A History of the South Wales Miners' Federation (1914-1926)

Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

For Italian intellectuals the terms fascist and antifascist continue to be the hard currency of contemporary political debate. When Professor Renzo de Felice suggests that fascism describes a moment in the Italian past-and only that-he is challenging the very heart of current orthodoxy. His ideas about fascism have a broad significance and represent a radical departure from conventional wisdom. This book remains important because of de Felice's vast knowledge of fascism and rigorous historical analysis. This dialogue between de Felice and American scholar Michael Ledeen ranges from empirical research on the history of Mussolini and the Fascist Regime in Italy to seeking a definition of fascism and determining its general characteristics. | Fascism An Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World After Apocalypse

Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World After Apocalypse

This book considers the new ways time was experienced in the sixteenth- and seventeeth-century Hispanic world in the framework of global Catholicism. It underscores the crucial role that the imitation of Christ plays in modeling how representative writers physically and mentally interiorize temporal impermanence as the Messiah’s suffering body becomes a paradigmatic as well as malleable marker of the avatars of earthly history. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which authors adapt Christ-centered conceptions of existence to accommodate both a volatile post-eschatological world and the increased dominance of mechanical clock time. As novel means of communing with Christ emerge so too do new modes of sensing and understanding time unleashing unprecedented cultural and literary reinvention. This is demonstrated through close analyses of writings by such influential figures as Saint Ignatius of Loyola Saint Teresa of Ávila Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. | Experiencing Time in the Early Modern Hispanic World After Apocalypse

State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

This volume grew out of a conference series sponsored jointly by the Stanford-Berkeley Joint Center for Latin American Studies and the Instituto Universitario de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro (IUPERJ). Entitled Opportunities and Constraints in Peripheral Industrial Society: The Case of Brazil the first conference was held in Nova Friburgo in July 1983 and was followed up by another at Berkeley in late January 1984. In the course of our discussions the subject matter widened so that a new title was chosen for this book. Also in the interim as Brazil made the transition to democracy and returned to economic growth many topics on the agenda for the 1980s emerged in clearer focus so that the chapters have all been sharpened and upgraded. In the division of labor that produced this book Nunes coordinated the project at Berkeley and in Brazil while Wirth and Bogenschild did the editing. | State And Society In Brazil Continuity And Change

Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Our tendency to read French Enlightenment political writing from a narrow disciplinary perspective has obscured the hybrid character of political philosophy rhetoric and natural science in the period. As Michèle Duchet and others have shown French Enlightenment thinkers developed a philosophical anthropology to support new political norms and models. This book explores how five important eighteenth-century French political authors—Rousseau Diderot La Mettrie Quesnay and Rétif de La Bretonne—also constructed a political zoology in their philosophical and literary writings informed by animal references drawn from Enlightenment natural history science and physiology. Drawing on theoretical work by Derrida Latour de Fontenay and others it shows how these five authors signed on to the old rhetorical tradition of animal comparisons in political philosophy which they renewed via the findings and speculations of contemporary science. Engaging with recent scholarship on Enlightenment political thought it also explores the links between their political zoologies and their family resemblance as liberal political thinkers. | Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Europe’s Evolving Role in US Grand Strategy Indispensable or Insufferable?

Europe’s Evolving Role in US Grand Strategy Indispensable or Insufferable?

This book looks at the evolution of the role of Europe in US grand strategy and unpacks how US administrations have instrumentalized this relationship in pursuit of extra-European objectives. The work considers geopolitical pressures in conjunction with leaders’ strategic ideas to provide an account of the evolution of the role of Europe in the context of US grand strategy. Observers generally agree on the vague notion that Europe has been de-prioritized in Washington’s external affairs. Against this background the book makes the case that such de-prioritization of Europe in the context of US grand strategy also entails a reconceptualization of the transatlantic relationship namely as a region featuring long-standing relationships that can at times be leveraged in pursuit of non-European goals. The United States has a long history of seeking European support or acquiescence for its role as the leader of the international system but whereas during the Cold War Washington enlisted its European allies in a grand strategic struggle against a European power more recently it has sought to enlist European allies in extra-European struggles of different types. Thinking about the role of Europe in US grand strategy now requires new theoretical and empirical tools that allow for the recognition of this very fact. Accordingly this book proposes that strategic ideas on the viability of international cooperation held within the White House crucially shape what – if any - type of support the United States seeks from Europe on the global stage. In doing so the book adds important nuance to other accounts proclaiming either the proverbial death of the transatlantic relationship or the eternal and unchanging nature thereof. This book will be of much interest to students of European security US foreign policy and International Relations. | Europe’s Evolving Role in US Grand Strategy Indispensable or Insufferable?
