De Gruyter The Challenge to Academic Freedom in Hungary
Book SynopsisThe Challenge to Academic Freedom in Hungary: A Case Study in Culture War, Authoritarianism and Resistance presents a case study as to how an authoritarian regime like the one in Hungary seeks to tame academic freedom. Andrew Ryder probes the reasons for ideological conflict within the academy through concepts like culture war' and authoritarian populism. He explores how the Orbán administration has introduced a series of reforms leading to limitations being placed on the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Gender Studies no longer being recognized by the State, the relocation of the Central European University because of government pressure and new reforms that ostensibly appear to give universities autonomy but critics assert are in fact changes that will lead to cronyism and pro-government interference in academic freedom.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Islamic Philosophy and Theology
Book SynopsisEvents are making clear to ever-widening circles of readers the need for something more than a superficial knowledge of non-European cultures. In particular, the blossoming into independence of numerous African states, many of which are largely Muslim or have a Muslim head of state, has made clear the growing political importance of the Islamic world, and, as a result, the desirability of extending and deepening the understanding and appreciation of this great segment of mankind.Islamic philosophy and theology are looked at together in a chronological framework in this volume. From a modern standpoint, this juxtaposition of the two disciplines is important for the understanding of both; but it should be realized at the outset that it is a reversal of the traditional Islamic procedure. Not merely were the disciplines different, but in the earlier centuries the exponents were two different sets of persons, trained in two different educational traditions, each with its own separTable of ContentsOne: The Umayyad Period; 1: The Beginnings of Sectarianism; 2: The Kh?rijites; 3: The Shi‘ites; 4: The Murji’ites And Other Moderates; Two: The First Wave of Hellenism 750-950; 5: The Translators and the First Philosophers; 6: The Expansion of Sh?‘ism; 7: The Mu‘tazilites; 8: The Consolidation of Sunnism; 9: Al-Ash‘ari; Three: The Second Wave of Hellenism 950-1258; 10: The Flowering of Philosophy; 11: The Vicissitudes of Sh?‘ism; 12: The Progress of Sunnite Theology; 13: Al-Ghaz?Li; 14: Sunnite Theology From 1100 to 1250; 15: Theology and Philosophy in the Islamic West; Four: The Period of Darkness 1250-1900; 16: The Sclerosis of Philosophical Theology; 17: The Vitality of the ?anbalites; 18: The Transformation Of Sh?‘ism; Five: The New Dawn; 19: The Prospect for Theology

Taylor & Francis Ltd Behind the Tiananmen Massacre
Book SynopsisThe 1989 prodemocracy movement in the People's Republic of China and the subsequent crackdown were marked by many dramatic reversals. Supported at first by several thousand Beijing University students, the movement quickly attracted millions of followers and developed into a nationwide mass movement. The jubilant mood during the short-lived freedom in Tiananmen Square turned into despair over the unnecessary bloodshed. The event raised many deeply disturbing questions: Was the massacre necessary and justified? What is the historical significance of this movement? Which path will the PRC follow in the decade ahead? Although no one had anticipated the tragic outcome, the popular unrest was not totally unexpected. When I read the news of 200,000 Beijing students and residents, in open defiance of the government's order, staging a largescale demonstration on Apri120, I knew a confrontation between the people and the government was inevitable.Table of ContentsList of Tables and Illustrations – Preface -- 1 Introduction (The Social, Political, and Economic Ferment, 2 Different Interpretations of the Events, 5 Setting the Record Straight, 7 Notes, 11) -- 2 From Economic Reform to Social Unrest (The Reform Program, 13 The Open Door Policy, 18 The Social and Economic Consequences, 22 The Basic Contradiction, 25 The Mounting Crisis, 29 The Popular Demand for Change, 33 Notes, 35) -- 3 Ideological Schism and Power Struggle (The Power Structure, 38 Ideological Tenets and the Party Une, 43 The Unique Role of Deng Xiaoping, 47 The Ideological Confrontation, 52 The Struggle for Succession, 56 The Final Showdown of the Contenders, 60 Notes, 63) -- 4 Intellectual Challenge and Student Movements (The Role of Intellectuals, 68 The May Fourth Movement and Its Legacy, 71 Intellectuals Under Communism, 77 The Relaxation and Repression Cycles, 82 Challenges from the Intellectuals, 86 The New Student Movement, 91 Notes, 93) -- 5 Military and Politics (The Command Structure, 97 The Changing Role of the Army, 102 Decline in the Status of the Military, 106 Military Resistance to Reform, 110 Involvement in Factional Struggle, 114 The Military at the Crossroads, 117 Notes, 120) --6 The Making of the Massacre(Origins of the Student Protest, 122 From Student Demonstration to People's Movement, 126 The Behind-the-Scenes Power Struggle, 130 Preparation for the Crackdown, 133 The Great Massacre, 136 The Aftermath and Cover-up, 140 Notes, 144) -- 7 The Impact of the Bloodshed (The International Sanctions, 147 Overseas Chinese Responses, 151 Effects on the Domestic Economy, 155 Impact on Education and Culture, 159 Effects on the Relationship with Hong Kong, 163 Impact on the Relationship with Taiwan, 168 Notes, 172) -- 8 The Road from Tiananmen (The Causes of the Unrest, 175 The Far-reaching Effects of the Massacre, 177 Factors Determining the PRC's Future, 181 Alternative Scenarios, 191 Notes, 198) -- Appendix 1: Chronology (April 1S-July 15, 1989) -- Appendix 2: Profiles of Fifty Major Figures -- Appendix 3: Documents (“lt Is Necessary to Take a Clear Stand Against the Disturbances," 222 A Student's Eyewitness Account of the Tiananmen Massacre, 224 Deng's Talk on Quelling Rebellion in Beijing, 226 "Checking the Turmoil and Quelling the Counter- Revolutionary Rebellion," 231) -- Index
