Book SynopsisCroisant les interventions de jeunes chercheurs et d'historiens et économistes plus confirmés, cet ouvrage revisite une période dont la connaissance est utile à celle de l'Europe en crise d'aujourd'hui. À La Haye, en décembre 1969, la construction européenne est relancée dans la direction des unions politique et monétaire. Cinq ans plus tard, le premier choc pétrolier affecte durablement les économies occidentales et révèle combien le projet européen est fragile. Mais la crise est aussi la matrice d'une nouvelle relance. Plus ambitieuse, sa maturation lente et difficile débouche, au début des années 1980, sur l'annonce d'avancées qui s'avèreront essentielles.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. The Nation and Its Citizens: Tales of Bondage and
Book SynopsisThe Nation and Its Citizens: Tales of Bondage and Belonging is about nationalism as a uniquely modern political doctrine, shaped by theived experience of citizens. Nationalism has changed in its appeal through history, as have its manifestations. Getting to know these may be part of the challenge of negotiating the ongoing turmoil, both internal and external to the nation. In addressing these issues, this book offers several propositions on how the construct of identity'' is crafted, with all its power to influence modern politics. It then explores how well India''s practice of republican democracy hasived up to the competing dynamics of identity and equality. As India celebrates 75 years of Independence, author Sukumar Muralidharan takes the readers on a journey into how the sense of fellow-feeling and mutual dependence of the nation are consolidated, and under what circumstances these could fray. The Nation and Its Citizens offers many fresh perspectives in understanding India''s unique political trajectory.

Amsterdam University Press Contemporary Practices of Citizenship in Asia and
Book SynopsisContemporary Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West: Care of the Self examines urban communities and societies in Asia and the West to shed much-needed light on issues that have emerged as the world experiences its new urban turn. An urbanized world should be an improving place, one that is better to live in, one where humans can flourish. This collection of essays examines contemporary practices of care of the self in cities in Asia and the West, including challenges to citizenship and even the right to the city itself. Written by a range of academics from different backgrounds (from architecture and urbanism, anthropology, social science, psychology, gender studies, history, and philosophy), their trans- and multidisciplinary approaches shed valuable light on what are sometimes quite old problems, leading to fresh perspectives and new ways of dealing with them. One thing that unites all of these papers is their people-centred approach, because, after all, a city is its people.Trade Review''[...]through all chapters Bracken presents the significance of apeople-centred approach in dealing with the role of human agency in everchanging cities, where citizenship is constantly reconfigured beyond our conventional understanding of it. This book has various tints and shades, which provide the reader an opportunity to engage in both philosophical thinking and emotional connection in regards to human agency and how people struggle to care for themselves in the city.''- Woojong Moon, Pacific Affairs Volume September 2023, V.96, no.3 Table of ContentsList of Illustrations List of Tables Acknowledgements Introduction, Gregory Bracken 1.The Western World as Utopia?

Springer Verlag, Singapore Teaching, Friendship and Humanity
Book SynopsisThis book extends liberal understandings in and about democratic citizenship education in relation to university pedagogy, more specifically higher teaching and learning. The authors’ argument is in defence of cultivating humanity through (higher) educational encounters on the basis of virtues that connect with the idea of love. Unlike romantic and erotic love, the book examines love in relation to educational encounters whereby humans or citizens can engage autonomously, deliberatively andresponsibly, yet lovingly. The rationale for focussing on the notion of philia (love) in educational encounters, the authors argue, is that doing so allows our current understandings of such encounters to be expanded beyond mere talk of reasonable engagements—autonomous action, deliberative iterations, and simple action—toward emotive enactments that could enhance human relations in educational encounters.Table of ContentsPreface: Loving humanity is an extension of democratic citizenship education.- Chapter 1: Educational encounters, mutuality, trust and respect.- Chapter 2: Educational encounters as friendships.- Chapter 3: Educational encounters, autonomy and liberty.- Chapter 4: Educational encounters, deliberative iterations, and everyday talk.- Chapter 5: Educational encounters as loving relations.- Chapter 6: Educational encounters, and liquid love.- Chapter 7: Educational encounters, critical praxis and love.- Chapter 8: Educational encounters and the promise of a love that can heal hatred.- Chapter 9: Educational encounters and whatever singularity (the lovable).- Chapter 10: On thinking differently about educational encounters: on subjective (loving) encounters.

NUS Press Stateless: Ethnography of Statelessness Written by a Stateless Academic
Book Synopsis"In the springtime of the year that I was twenty-one, I found myself stuck at the border between two familiar countries, unable to enter either. I had never felt my statelessness so keenly."Japan's 1972 termination of diplomatic ties with the Republic of China left 9,200 Chinese residents stateless. Tienshi "Lara" Chen was one of them, born to Chinese parents in Yokohama's Chinatown. What does it mean to be stateless? What does it feel like?In a lively blend of life writing, auto-ethnography, and study of stateless communities around Asia, this book unpacks the idea of citizenship by showing the hidden everyday narratives and lived experiences of stateless persons who have no legal ties to any nation state. Originally published in Japanese, this adapted and updated English edition critically engages with questions of borders, mobility, belonging, and identity.We follow Chen's engaging autobiographical account of her bi-cultural upbringing and Japanese education, and how her experience of statelessness eventually led her into a career spanning academia and activism. Across different levels of analysis, the author points out the contradictions inherent in the concepts of nationality, nation-state and citizenship, in a world where individual nationality, identity and experience are increasingly complex. She concludes that the current system of regulating individuals with citizenship is unworkable in the long run. Stateless is a fascinating read on borders, states and identities.
