    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis is the first in-depth study of Sharpeville, the South African township that was the site of the infamous police massacre of March 21, 1960, the event that prompted the United Nations to declare apartheid a crime against humanity.Voices of Sharpeville brings to life the destruction of Sharpeville's predecessor, Top Location, and the careful planning of its isolated and carceral design by apartheid architects. A unique set of eyewitness testimonies from Sharpeville's inhabitants reveals how they coped with apartheid and why they rose up to protest this system, narrating this massacre for the first time in the words of the participants themselves. Previously understood only through the iconic photos of fleeing protestors and dead bodies, the timeline is reconstructed using an extensive archive of new documentary and oral sources including unused police records, personal interviews with survivors and their families, and maps and family photos. By identifying nearly alTrade Review"Based on thorough and discerning scholarship, the book provides new evidence on the ‘neglected’ and ‘hidden’ history of Sharpeville. The authors are commended for this insightful narrative to dispel the one-sided and widely disseminated account of the Sharpeville Massacre by those who supported apartheid."Chitja Twala, University of Limpopo, South Africa"This compelling and thought-provoking book promotes the idea that the ‘truth’ in History as a discipline is itself based on shifting sand. Nancy Clark and William Worger prove that, if proof is needed, the production of history is a process of constant negotiation between evidence and interpretation where many questions are capable of a wide variety of answers."Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu, The University of South Africa"Sixty-three years after the apartheid killings at Sharpeville, the voices of the victims are heard, thanks to imaginative and dogged research by Nancy Clark and William Worger. And, startlingly, they report that the police count of 69 dead and 186 wounded – which has been accepted and endlessly repeated over the years – has always been a lie. This is a revelatory book."Benjamin Pogrund, former deputy-editor of The Rand Daily Mail, South Africa"Working intensively with Sharpeville’s community, Clark and Worger aim here to right the wrongs of a past that has left many of the dead unrecognised and the injured disregarded. They reconstruct a history of Sharpeville as a place, as a community, and as a memory and an icon. After more than fifty years, Sharpeville remains the place where the anti-apartheid struggle went global: and with this lucid and compelling book, we at last know why."David M Anderson, University of Warwick, UKTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Belgian Congo as a Developmental State

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book challenges assumptions that poor post-colonial economic performance is always a direct product of colonialism by reconsidering the Belgian Congo (19081959) as a developmental state.The book demonstrates that despite the colonial system's economic exploitation and extraction, brutality, excessive taxation, and inequities, the Belgian Congo achieved successes in developing the economy in a short period of time. The Belgian Congo was able to achieve this by investing its higher rates of fiscal revenue in political stability, physical infrastructure, education, and healthcare. By reconsidering the Belgian colonial state as a developmental state, this book encourages scholars to adopt a more nuanced analysis of African history. Considering state capacity and state autonomy as key features of a developmental state, the book demonstrates that colonial state managers in the Belgian Congo were able to supply these public goods that sustained economic growth for decades.

    Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the intersection of religion, public health and human security in Nigeria. Focusing on Christianity, Islam, traditional religions and intra-religious doctrinal divergencies, the book explores the impact faith has on health-related decisions and how this affects security in Nigeria. The book assesses the connection between religion and five contemporary major health and medical issues in the country. This includes the issue of epidemics and pandemics such as the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccines, contraception, blood transfusion and the controversies associated with miracle healing. In particular, this book explores situations where individuals have the power of choice but instead embraces faith and religious positions that contradict science in the management of their health and, in the process, expose themselves and others to personal health insecurity. It investigates aspects of human security including the wider international ramifications of health issuesTable of ContentsPreface.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Party Politics in Turkey

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAlthough the literature on party politics has significantly advanced both methodologically and theoretically in recent years, the study of political parties in Turkey has been noticeably disconnected and lacking from such conversations.This book evaluates well-established theories and trends in existing party politics literature and relates them to the case of Turkey. It explores fundamental questions such as: Who controls party organizations and how does the locus of control change over time? What kinds of power struggles are observed inside a party and between whom? What do the present and past records of party membership imply for party organizations? What role do grassroots activists play in local and national politics? How do the ideological orientations of party members differ from party leaders and other voters? What types of social cleavages shape political parties and how do they change over time? What constitutes the relationship between the state and parties today?Table of ContentsIntroduction, Pelin Ayan Musil & Özhan Demirkol 1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Negotiating Trade in Uncertain Worlds

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book shows how a constructivist account of bargaining sheds new light on the emergence of impasse situations in international trade negotiations. It uncovers the subtle ways in which misperceptions and the problems of overcoming them complicate negotiations. It brings to the forefront misperceptions and sticky beliefs that complicate trade talks between the Global South and the Global North.Empirically, the book examines the recent negotiations of Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union (EU) and West Africa (20022014). In doing so, it enriches the study of negotiations of development-oriented trade agreements in the context of a major North-South partnership. By exploring a constructivist perspective on game theory, the author uncovers how the repeated impasse situations followed from the different games both sides expected to be playing. The author shows that such misperceptions endured because they reflected deep-seated normative disagreements not Trade Review"Scholars have long asked about the games nations play. Clara Weinhardt takes us a step further by dissecting with profound analytical flair a decade of fraught negotiations between Europe and West Africa over their new economic relations. Beyond diverging interests, she shows how impasse can be rooted in radically diverging expectations over which game the parties are playing in the first place. If only such disjunctures could be acknowledged and overcome, we would live in a much more cooperative world. This book will be of critical interest to anyone interested in game theory and international affairs, the political economy of trade or EU external relations and Africa." – Kalypso Nicolaïdis, University of Oxford, UK"States sometimes fail to cooperate, even when cooperation is in their interests. This impressive book combines elements of economic and sociological thought to show how states inability to understand one another leads to breakdowns in trade negotiations. Scholars and practitioners interested in global cooperation, difference in international politics, or the future of trade need to address Weinhardt’s important book." – Eric Grynaviski, George Washington University, USA"Clara Weinhardt’s book breaks new ground by deploying constructivist theory to clarify how uncertainty about the rules of the game between the EU and ACP countries led to misperceptions about the interests and expectations of the negotiating partners. The unique contribution of the book lies in the creatively way in which the author convincingly demonstrated how these misperceptions led to miscalculation of possible equilibrium outcomes as well as the ongoing impasse in the negotiations. This book will be a valuable resource to academics working on North-South trade relations, policy makers and trade negotiators on both sides of the Atlantic." – Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba, Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute, University of South Africa, South Africa.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.Negotiating in uncertain worlds: on the different games states play. 2.The impasse in EPA negotiations. 3.Misperceiving the rules of the game: EPA negotiations 2002-2007. 4.Contesting the rules of the game: EPA negotiations 2008-2012. 5.Conclusion.

  • Cambridge University Press Boundary Control

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe democratization of the national government is only the first step in diffusing democracy throughout a country's territory. After a national government is democratized, subnational authoritarian 'enclaves' often continue to deny rights to citizens of local jurisdictions. Gibson explains how subnational authoritarianism is part of normal democratic politics.Trade Review'Gibson's conceptualization of boundary control as a key mechanism that facilitates the maintenance of subnational authoritarianism in the context of national level democracies is a foundational contribution to an important and growing literature. The explanation of dynamics in three very different cases - the 'Solid South' in the United States, Argentina and Mexico - is compelling, and the book is beautifully written. This is a must read for anybody interested in the complexities of democratization.' Evelyne Huber, Morehead Alumni Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill'This is an imaginative and path-breaking book. The conceptual and theoretical work Gibson accomplishes will help usher in a new scholarly conversation made even more urgent by the uneven nature of democratizations since the 'third wave'. By taking a subnational turn in thinking about regime change, Gibson reveals how the rise of authoritarian rule and its demise are often much more complex and contradictory processes than we had realized. Comparativists - including their less parochial Americanist colleagues - can make great use of what Gibson has achieved.' Robert Mickey, University of Michigan'Professor Gibson's ambitious new book involves a far-reaching reassessment of some core assumptions in comparative politics. It contests the bias toward the 'national-level' unit of analysis, and proposes a more conceptually sophisticated understanding of territorial politics, with its specific logic and consequences. This approach is grounded on an insightful examination of some major instances that are not normally juxtaposed. In particular, Gibson looks at the US political system through a distinctive and illuminating comparative lens. This is a bold contribution likely to provoke a lively debate.' Laurence Whitehead, University of Oxford'By opening up the black box of subnational politics, and problematizing the interaction between national and territorial regimes, Gibson provides an important contribution to the comparative study of democratization. Summing up: highly recommended.' S. P. Duffy, Choice'Gibson concurs in emphasizing the importance of whether a given federal system is 'municipal-empowering' or 'province-empowering,' and identifies 'plural cities' as potential problem sites for provincial authoritarians.'

  • Cambridge University Press The Diffusion of Social Movements Actors

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIt is widely recognized that social movements may spread - or 'diffuse' - from one site to another. Such diffusion, however, is a complex and multidimensional process that involves different actors, networks, and mechanisms. This complexity has spawned a large body of literature on different aspects of the diffusion process, yet a comprehensive framework remains an elusive target. This book is a response to that need, and its framework focuses on three basic analytical questions. First, what is being diffused? Second, how does diffusion occur? Finally, what is the impact of diffusion on organizational development and shifts in the scale of contentious politics? This volume suggests that diffusion is not a simple matter of political contagion or imitation; rather, it is a creative and strategic process marked by political learning, adaptation, and innovation.Trade Review“Finally! Coherence about diffusion. This excellent collection brings intellectual focus to important but previously disparate debates about the spread of social movements across time, borders, and cultures. Highlighting three critical theoretical questions, the contributions deftly interweave analysis of the activists promoting diverse movements, the strategies they deploy, and the contexts in which these efforts succeed or fail.” —Clifford Bob, Duquesne University“The authors introduce useful distinctions that give us insight into the different aspects of movements that can diffuse – tactics, interpretive frames, and other features – and the mechanisms involved in spreading movements. The case studies highlight these theoretical distinctions and ground them in concrete examples.” —William Gamson, Boston College“Diffusion is one of the central processes implicated in the origin and spread of social movements. It is therefore not surprising that social movement scholars have devoted considerable attention to the topic. But until now, that work has remained scattered and marked by considerable conceptual confusion. This first-rate collection should help the situation and prove a boon to those interested in the topic. The clarifying introduction by the editors is worth the price of admission all by itself.” —Doug McAdam, Stanford University“For at least two decades now, social scientists have been avoiding full engagement with diffusion, and as a result, have been missing a critical key to understanding collective political behavior. The Diffusion of Social Movements guides us forward by squarely addressing obstacles that prevented scholars from embracing diffusion, by making sense of a scattered literature, and by showing how diffusion can be a powerful theoretical tool in understanding the trajectories of local and global protest movements.” —Daniel J. Myers, University of Notre Dame“Ranging widely over different movements in different societal contexts, this sterling set of essays takes the study of the diffusion of social movements in important new directions. Not only do the essays describe how frames and practices diffuse to other movements, but they also show how they scale vertically to different actors and levels in a society. Moreover, the very well written and fascinating essays analyze mechanisms that explain the patterns of diffusion that are found.” —Mayer Zald, University of Michigan"Well-written and covering a wide range of movements, certain chapters lend themselves well to the classroom. The volume as a whole provides a much-needed theoretical overview of diffusion theories and processes. It also moves the current state of the literature forward by linking the origins, process, and effects of diffusion to institutional and cultural factors. It provides a cohesive and coherent framework for understanding, conducting, and assessing diffusion research. As such, it is a most welcome contribution to a thriving yet sometimes scattered field." —Hana E. Brown, Wake Forest University, MobilizationTable of Contents1.
