Collective Ink He Was Our Man in Washington: A History of the
Book SynopsisHe Was Our Man in Washington provides a detailed narrative of the years of the Obama administration gravitating around six key topics: the War on Terror, the Great Recession, marginal struggles, the Affordable Care Act, climate change, and Indigenous issues, that sit at the intersection of the other topics. Each chapter begins with a brief account of the historical context within which the Obama administration acted. The result is a fair-minded but highly critical interpretation of president Obama and his brand of "hope and change," grounded in a reality that goes beyond mere headlines.

Firefly Books Ltd Hope in Hell: Inside the World of Doctors Without
Book SynopsisMedecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF (aka Doctors Without Borders), was founded in 1971 by rebellious French doctors. It is arguably the most respected humanitarian organization in the world, delivering emergency aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics and natural disasters as well as to many others who lack reliable health care. Dan Bortolotti follows the volunteers at the forefront of this organization and its work, who daily risk their lives to perform surgery, establish or rehabilitate hospitals and clinics, run nutrition and sanitation programs, and train local medical personnel. These volunteer professionals: - Perform emergency surgery in war-torn regions of Africa, Asia and elsewhere. - Treat the homeless in the streets of Europe. - Honour cultural customs and understand societal differences that affect health care. - Witness and report the genocidal atrocities so often missed by mainstream media. This new and revised third edition includes updates and new inside stories from recent relief operations, and it covers changes within the organization, such as its new emphasis on nutrition. There are also many new and revealing colour photographs and insights gained from the author's 2009 trip to Haiti, where he found three different arms of MSF operating in dire conditions. Hope in Hell is a widely acclaimed portrait of a renowned Nobelwinning humanitarian organization, revealing how Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) provides immediate and outstanding medical care.

What can participatory research methods add to local efforts to build peace? In this book, the authors examine these questions through their work with two different Colombian communities who have pursued dialogue amidst ongoing violence, environmental injustice and socio-economic challenges. By reflecting on what people in these contrasting places have achieved through participatory peacebuilding, the authors explore different forms of local agency, the prospects for non-extractive academic engagement, and practical and theoretical lessons for participating in peace in other conflict-affected settings.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd Humanitarian Ethics: A Guide to the Morality of
Book SynopsisHumanitarians are required to be impartial, independent, professionally competent and focused only on preventing and alleviating human suffering. It can be hard living up to these principles when others do not share them, while persuading political and military authorities and non-state actors to let an agency assist on the ground requires savvy ethical skills. Getting first to a conflict or natural catastrophe is only the beginning, as aid workers are usually and immediately presented with practical and moral questions about what to do next. For example, when does working closely with a warring party or an immoral regime move from practical cooperation to complicity in human rights violations? Should one operate in camps for displaced people and refugees if they are effectively places of internment? Do humanitarian agencies inadvertently encourage ethnic cleansing by always being ready to 'mop-up' the consequences of scorched earth warfare? This book has been written to help humanitarians assess and respond to these and other ethical dilemmas.Trade ReviewSlim writes in a very engaging manner that is both erudite and easy to read, professional and personal at the same time, as humanitarianism must be. One really feels he himself has struggled with many of the dilemmas he describes and is eager to share his experience. * International Affairs *Few fields of human enterprise are as morally challenging as humanitarian aid, especially in wartime. Hugo Slim has written the essential handbook of ethical expertise for aid workers, aid organizations and students of ethics and humanitarianism. It is comprehensive, passionate and has the special gift of lucidly exploring moral complexities. -- Alex de Waal, Executive Director, World Peace Foundation at the Fletcher School, Tufts UniversitySlim writes in a very engaging manner that is both erudite and easy to read, professional and personal at the same time, as humanitarianism must be. One really feels he himself has struggled with many of the dilemmas he describes and is eager to share his experience. * The Jordan Times *Humanitarian workers confront desperately difficult ethical choices every day as they struggle to provide aid in war and disasters. In a field where theory and practice are too seldom aligned Hugo Slim has pulled off a rare feat -- a book that is as useful to the thoughtful aid practitioner as it is to the applied scholar. His analysis is fascinating and his refreshingly frank and practical approaches for navigating the ethical minefields of work in the world’s toughest places will appeal to the frontline aid worker and global humanitarian executive alike. -- Neal Keny-Guyer, Chief Executive Officer at Mercy CorpsThis book gets to the heart of the often impossible moral dilemmas and persistent ethical problems which confront, challenge and haunt humanitarians. As the sector professionalises and bureaucratises, it will help aid workers, managers and leaders to understand why principles matter more than ever and how they can be used to make better choices. Importantly, it is written from the perspective of someone who cares deeply about humanitarian action and who wants to help those who help others do so with care, compassion and to the highest possible standards. -- Sorcha O’Callaghan, Head of Humanitarian Policy, British Red CrossA fascinating and important book that unpack the ethics of the humanitarian enterprise, a critical question at a time when the fundamental values and principles of humanitarianism are being contested by the participation of southern actors. Few books penetrate the fundamental moral and ethical questions of humanitarianism, and even fewer in a language that is accessible to both scholars and practitioners -- a must-read. -- Urvashi Aneja, Director, Centre for Global Governance & Policy, Jindal School of International Affairs, Jindal Global University, IndiaIn this brilliant and incisive work, Hugo Slim develops a much needed moral compass that helps aid workers, both seasoned and novice, to navigate the tensions between principle and practice -- as well as the shoals of political manipulation in humanitarian action. An invaluable tool that should be in every humanitarian’s grab bag. -- Antonio Donini, editor of 'The Golden Fleece: Manipulation and Independence in Humanitarian Action''Important and eminently readable . . . masterful . . . a powerful message delivered with brio. His book should be required reading for all frontline aid workers - and even more so for their bosses.'An informative text worth the attention of academics and professionals, and also those considering volunteering in places where governments and large NGOs have been found wanting. * Socialist Review *

Indiana University Press Hosting States and Unsettled Guests
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Hosting States and Unsettled Guests unpacks the complex temporalities of migration. Temporal discombobulation begins under repressive rule in Eritrea. In Ethiopia, refugees' briefly-regained agency is lost in the face of sluggish humanitarian bureaucracy, and troubled relations with the unstable host country. In deftly documenting refugee agency, precarious journeys, and the systemic odds migrants encounter, Riggan and Poole make tremendous contributions to refugee studies and studies of the contemporary Horn of Africa."—Awet T. Weldemichael, Queen's University-Canada, author of Author of Piracy in Somalia."In this exemplary ethnography, replete with vivid details and theoretical nuance, Riggan and Poole analyze how Eritrean refugees weather Ethiopia's shifting paradigms of refugee management and pursue pragmatic visions of their possible futures in a time of political and economic instability. This book is a deft and absorbing piece of anthropological and international scholarship."—Lesley Bartlett, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Co-Editor of Humanizing Education for Refugee and Immigrant Youth"The book provides detailed, nuanced, and critical perspectives on some of the most important challenges of refugee life and refugee policy today: what it means to live as a refugee, how to work with host countries in the global south to ensure refugee's rights and needs are met, how to design education and economic opportunities for refugees, and how to ensure refugees' hopes and dreams for the future are not cruelly disregarded or undermined."—Lauren Carruth, author of Love and Liberation"In a detailed ethnography that profoundly reconceptualizes time and temporality, Riggan and Poole show us the political reality and predicament of life and struggle in refugee camps in northern Ethiopia. This book is a welcome contribution to the field of forced migration studies."—-Shahram Khosravi, author of Precarious Lives: Waiting and Hope in Iran"Through the moving stories that they collected between 2016 and 2019, Riggan and Poole's engaging ethnography traces the fate of Eritrean refugees in a very unstable Ethiopia. The authors brilliantly examine how temporality (and not just spatiality) plays key roles in understanding Eritrean refugees' everyday lives in refugee camps and urban settings in the years that led up to a devastating war. The authors unveil how Eritrean refugees inescapably experience temporal suffering and teleological violence within these structural barriers, while their present becomes ungraspable and thus unmovable."—Sabina M.

Cornell University Press Humanitarianism in Question
Book SynopsisYears of tremendous growth in response to complex emergencies have left a mark on the humanitarian sector. Various matters that once seemed settled are now subjects of intense debate. What is humanitarianism? Is it limited to the provision of relief to victims of conflict, or does it include broader objectives such as human rights, democracy promotion, development, and peacebuilding? For much of the last century, the principles of humanitarianism were guided by neutrality, impartiality, and independence. More recently, some humanitarian organizations have begun to relax these tenets. The recognition that humanitarian action can lead to negative consequences has forced humanitarian organizations to measure their effectiveness, to reflect on their ethical positions, and to consider not only the values that motivate their actions but also the consequences of those actions. In the indispensable Humanitarianism in Question, Michael Barnett and Thomas G. Weiss bring together scholaTrade ReviewThis is a superb survey of the rise and challenges of international humanitarianism assistance. The book chronicles the remarkable post-Cold War emergence of a global system of humanitarian relief—a system complete with doctrines, organizations, and extensive field operations. But it is also a system under stress, working increasingly with little guidance or support in war-torn societies.... The authors in this collection step back from these developments to ask first-order questions about the purposes and principles of humanitarianism....

Stanford University Press Costly Democracy
Book SynopsisThis book examines under what conditions peacebuilding can bring not only peace but also democracy to war-torn countries.Trade Review"Costly Democracy is a welcome addition to the literature on peace-building. It advances a new and important theory and develops a framework of analysis for understanding the peace-building process that has significant implications for both scholarship and public policy. It is methodologically rigorous—a model of structured comparative case study analysis—and is written with admirable clarity. It is an outstanding book that deserves to be read widely."—Richard Caplan, Cambridge Review of International Affairs"This excellent volume presents two well-supported arguments about the study of peace building and democratization . . . Highly recommended."—M. Tetreault, Choice"A consistent and rigorous focus across many different cases of international peacebuilding makes this a standout book."—Benjamin Reilly, Australian National University"Costly Democracy gets at the heart of today's peace and security agenda: How can societies wracked by war progress toward sustainable peace? In this compellingly written and artfully researched volume, Christoph Zürcher and his colleagues explore the partial and deeply vexatious nature of international support for democratic transitions after war. The detailed and deep case studies evidently expose the outer limits of outsiders' ability to use aid and assistance to promote democracy in societies emerging from conflict."—Timothy D. Sisk, University of Denver"This book advances a new and important claim about democratic peacebuilding—it depends on the politics within fragile states. Sophisticated analysis of nine cases shows that the interactions between internal and external actors and their impact domestic politics is the key. This is a model for collaborative research and sophisticated social science."—Deborah Avant, Editor of Who Governs the Globe?

This volume brings together an impressive array of new research on these networks and their role in the consolidation of the culture and practice of design as we know it today. -- Kjetil Fallan, Professor of Design History, University of Oslo, NorwayIn the past 80 years, international organizations have greatly shaped discourse and practice in industrial and graphic design. International Design Organizations provides a refreshingly diverse array of critical perspectives into the designers’ interactions with and through international organizations, with a focus on lived experience and the political ramifications of the ideal of the ‘international’, within design communities. Chapters clearly demonstrate how international design organizations are constituted both by regional and local ways of working brought into dialogue and by an often-illusory proposal for ‘universal’ design approaches, values or standards, showing how the resulting communities of practitioners, researchers and educators both link design culture across geographical and cultural divides and reflect deeper political inequalities between continents and nations. -- Sarah Teasley, Professor of Design, RMIT University, AustraliaThis new edited volume presents pioneering research in predominantly postwar design histories and successfully applies network research methods onto yet unexplored design history material. Thirteen essays analyse histories of institutions transnationally and reveal the complex functioning of design institutions and their contributions to the narrative of design history as a whole. This fascinating and engaging book will captivate its readers but should also become a useful teaching tool for understanding this net of stories and histories. -- Helena Capková, Associate Professor of Art History, Ritsumeikan University, JapanAn invaluable retrospective for students of design management and design history and a rare treat for graphic design students, tracing the historical underpinning of paradigm shifts that have informed a century of design. This volume provides a unique insight and perspective on the evolution and impact of key international design organizations and influential personalities instrumental in shaping the international discourse on design. This is a timely reminder of the importance of international collaboration in a time of resurgent nationalism. -- Sara Ekenger, Course Leader, MA Design Management, London College of Communication, UAL, UKInternational Design Organizations is a much-awaited collection that offers new perspectives on the entanglement of design cultures and networks during a historical period of heightened internationalism and exchange. Drawing on a plurality of expert views and deftly edited, this book contributes to our understanding of design and designing as a multifaceted, ever-shifting activity negotiated through professional and institutional rules, national and transnational interests, and resulting from diverse epistemic structures.

Stanford University Press Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, Palestinian heritage organizations have launched numerous urban regeneration and museum projects across the West Bank in response to the enduring Israeli occupation. These efforts to reclaim and assert Palestinian heritage differ significantly from the typical global cultural project: here it is people's cultural memory and living environment, rather than ancient history and archaeology, that take center stage. It is local civil society and NGOs, not state actors, who are "doing" heritage. In this context, Palestinian heritage has become not just a practice of resistance, but a resourceful mode of governing the Palestinian landscape. With this book, Chiara De Cesari examines these Palestinian heritage projects—notably the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, Riwaq, and the Palestinian Museum—and the transnational actors, practices, and material sites they mobilize to create new institutions in the absence of a sovereign state. Through their rehabilitation of Palestinian heritage, these organizations have halted the expansion of Israeli settlements. They have also given Palestinians opportunities to rethink and transform state functions. Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine reveals how the West Bank is home to creative experimentation, insurgent agencies, and resourceful attempts to reverse colonial violence—and a model of how things could be.Trade Review"Chiara De Cesari provides a creative and thoroughly researched account of the way space and the material reality of buildings have become an important, if also contradictory, site for Palestinian claims. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in cultural and architectural heritage, urban transformation, museums, or landscape—and how these are used to counter dispossession." -- Helga Tawil-Souri * New York University *"Chiara De Cesari boldly and creatively shows that politics does not always happen where we expect it to be. In this book, heritage emerges as a site of political mobilization, one in which Palestinian women do more than play a central part: They shape the idioms and create the very materiality in which the temporalities of struggle are woven through people's lives. Through the stories of activists, architects, and residents of Palestine, De Cesari makes a strong case for how Palestinian heritage can make claims and demands on the Israeli state." -- Ann Laura Stoler * The New School for Social Research *"This pathbreaking book links cultural heritage and the postcolonial condition in new and provocative ways. Chiara De Cesari's nuanced ethnography of Palestine reconfigures our understanding of the relationship between sovereignty and culture." -- John F. Collins * author of Revolt of the Saints: Memory and Redemption in the Twilight of Brazilian Racial Democracy *"De Cesari's rigorous analysis takes the reader through a web of complexities which show the different dynamics of heritage. A meticulous treatise indeed—the book makes for valuable reading, in particular when it comes to understanding the many layers of resistance against cultural dispossession and Israel's colonial violence." -- Ramona Wadi * The New Arab *"Chiara De Cesari's book on Palestine appears as a groundbreaking work that offers a different option for understanding how heritage is deployed in a proxy state, a political entity under siege, whose international sovereignty is still being renegotiated." -- Cheikh Lo * Journal of Folklore Research *"De Cesari argues convincingly that NGOs and museums are initiating processes of institutionalization and governance in the absence of a stable [Palestinian] state....This book provides an important opening for a critical discussion regarding the ways in which the word "Palestine" has not lost meaning." -- Rasmieyh R. Abdelnabi * Journal of Palestine Studies *"Chiara de Cesari's study is noteworthy for its acute analysis of the relations between cultural heritage and the nation-state, and for the thoroughness with which she examines this relationship in the case of Palestine." -- Rosemary Sayigh * Journal of Holy Land and Palestine Studies *"Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine is an illuminating study, useful for both a better understanding of life and struggles in Palestine, and for a broader discussion of the politics of heritage." -- Adi Kuntsman * International Journal of Middle East Studies *Table of ContentsContents and AbstractsIntroduction: The Stakes of Heritage and the Politics of Culture chapter abstractThe introduction opens with the story of the Palestinian heritage organization rehabilitating the occupied and colonized Old City of Hebron. This story encapsulates many facets of the book, particularly the relationship between heritage making and Palestinians laying claims to sovereignty (that is, resisting colonization) and instantiating provisional, improvised, resourceful forms of government. It lays out the key argument of the book that Palestinian heritage has transformed from a practice of resistance into a mode of "governing" the Palestinian landscape and society that is deeply connected to transnational regimes of development and a precarious if resourceful process of state building in the absence of a sovereign state. Finally, the introduction outlines the book's key theoretical concerns: how heritage functions in mutating colonial formations and as a form of anticolonial governmentality beyond the nation-state as well as the work of heritage as expanding transnational framework of practices and meanings. 1A Political History of Palestinian Heritage chapter abstractChapter 1 examines the history of heritage preservation in Palestine in the 20th century. It begins with the work of Palestinian orientalists and ethnographers under the British Mandate in the 1920s and 1930s, to analyze how they rework colonial science in the spirit of a nascent Palestinian cultural nationalism. It then focuses on the Folklore Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and particularly its connection to the national liberation movement and the women's movement as well as its practice of anticolonial resistance and activist preservation in the occupied territories. 2Government Through Heritage in Old Hebron chapter abstractChapter 2 discusses the project of historic conservation and urban revitalization in the Old City of Hebron, which remained under Israeli control after the Oslo Accords because of the presence of several Jewish settlements. The chapter explores informal governmentalities through heritage. Countering the settlers' takeover of the Old City, the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee has restored and repopulated a large part of the city's dilapidated central quarters. But in order to sustain livelihoods in difficult conditions, it has begun to work on socioeconomic development through a broad set of interventions, adopting the language and practices of international development. Over the years, with the Palestinian Authority not being able to work in the occupied Old City, the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee has come to function as a hybrid institution of local government. 3Heritage, NGOs, and State Making chapter abstractChapter 3 examines the state-building role of heritage NGOs and the complex relationship between these organizations and the heritage body of the Palestinian Authority (PA). It argues that the Palestinian heritage movement or "heritage by NGOs" helps create and sustain not only icons and rituals of cultural nationalism but also a national infrastructure of heritage preservation and a set of national institutions alternative to those of the PA, like inventories, heritage units, master plans, and laws. In addition to preserving Palestinian identity and reclaiming Palestinian lands, West Bank organizations wish to ameliorate the living conditions of historic districts' residents and villagers and so intervene in the spaces and habits of their everyday life. In so doing—and in the context of the PA's structural weakness—they experiment with a range of modes of planning and governance, and enact a form of resourceful statecraft from the margins of the state. 4Palestinian National Museums Post-Oslo chapter abstractPlacing heritage initiatives in the context of a broader cultural revival in the West Bank, Chapter 4 discusses the peculiar history of post-Oslo museums; if the Palestinian Authority has failed to create a major national museum—as a key institution of national representation—also due to a fundamental lack of objects and museum collections, Palestinian artists and cultural producers have instead experimented with different museum formats, creating virtual museums and nomadic museums in exile, thus producing creative national institutions in transnational spaces. These alternative museums walk a tightrope between establishing authority (as institutionality, as rules and regulations, as an authoritative museum voice) and challenging such authority to promote radical, democratic practices. Conclusion: Cultural Governmentality and Activist Statehood chapter abstractThe conclusion opens with an examination of the Islamic Movement and Palestinian activist preservation in Israel targeting the remains of the Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948 when the Israeli state was established. It compares this heritage work with the work of Palestinian NGOs in the West Bank, which have moved toward development and institution building, or a kind of activist statehood. The conclusion then makes an argument for the relevance of new forms of cultural governmentality and heritage-led development well beyond Palestine.

Indiana University Press The Politics of Suffering
Book SynopsisThe Politics of Suffering examines the confluence of international aid, humanitarian relief, and economic development within the space of the Palestinian refugee camp. Nell Gabiam describes the interactions between UNRWA, the United Nations agency charged with providing assistance to Palestinians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, and residents of three camps in Syria. Over time, UNRWA's management of the camps reveals a shift from an emphasis on humanitarian aid to promotion of self-sufficiency and integration of refugees within their host society. Gabiam's analysis captures two forces in tension within the camps: politics of suffering that serves to keep alive the discourse around the Palestinian right of return; and politics of citizenship expressed through development projects that seek to close the divide between the camp and the city. Gabiam offers compelling insights into the plight of Palestinians before and during the Syrian war, which has led to devastation in the camps and masTrade ReviewNell Gabiam's The Politics of Suffering is a deep anthropological engagement with the politics of citizenship and the practices of othering as it relates to the Palestinian refugee camps in Syria. In a time of a major refugee crisis world-wide, this book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the shape of the needed global humanitarian response to these increasingly normalized conditions. -- Nezar AlSayyadGabiam's The Politics of Suffering takes us deep into the world of Palestinian refugees in Syria, an understudied and for the present inaccessible area for further research. Through her innovative and original work on the architecture of camp life she unfolds the confluence between humanitarian aid and development alongside the politics of the right of return and citizenship. A highly readable and informative book for the student of the Middle East and refugee studies in general. * Journal of Islamic Studies *Nell Gabiam's timely and original book makes an excellent contribution to the limited literature on Palestinian refugees in Syria. . . . A highly readable and informative book for the student of the Middle East and refugee studies in general. * Antipode *Gabiam's nuanced study of Syria's Palestinian community is an engaging and informative read. * Journal of Palestine Studies *The Politics of Suffering should earn a place on syllabi of courses in applied anthropology and the anthropology of the Middle East as well as the anthropology of migration. It makes critical contributions to those fields and opens up new conversations about the relations among refugeeness, place, and politics. * American Ethnologist * The Politics of Suffering is clearly written and accessible to a wide audience interested in refugee and diaspora studies, humanitarianism and development studies, and/or Palestinian studies. It can be effectively taught in both undergraduate and graduate courses addressing these topics. * City & Society *Table of ContentsIntroduction1. Informal Citizens: Palestinian Refugees in Syria2.

Indiana University Press Hosting States and Unsettled Guests
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Hosting States and Unsettled Guests unpacks the complex temporalities of migration. Temporal discombobulation begins under repressive rule in Eritrea. In Ethiopia, refugees' briefly-regained agency is lost in the face of sluggish humanitarian bureaucracy, and troubled relations with the unstable host country. In deftly documenting refugee agency, precarious journeys, and the systemic odds migrants encounter, Riggan and Poole make tremendous contributions to refugee studies and studies of the contemporary Horn of Africa."—Awet T. Weldemichael, Queen's University-Canada, author of Author of Piracy in Somalia."In this exemplary ethnography, replete with vivid details and theoretical nuance, Riggan and Poole analyze how Eritrean refugees weather Ethiopia's shifting paradigms of refugee management and pursue pragmatic visions of their possible futures in a time of political and economic instability. This book is a deft and absorbing piece of anthropological and international scholarship."—Lesley Bartlett, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Co-Editor of Humanizing Education for Refugee and Immigrant Youth"The book provides detailed, nuanced, and critical perspectives on some of the most important challenges of refugee life and refugee policy today: what it means to live as a refugee, how to work with host countries in the global south to ensure refugee's rights and needs are met, how to design education and economic opportunities for refugees, and how to ensure refugees' hopes and dreams for the future are not cruelly disregarded or undermined."—Lauren Carruth, author of Love and Liberation"In a detailed ethnography that profoundly reconceptualizes time and temporality, Riggan and Poole show us the political reality and predicament of life and struggle in refugee camps in northern Ethiopia. This book is a welcome contribution to the field of forced migration studies."—-Shahram Khosravi, author of Precarious Lives: Waiting and Hope in Iran"Through the moving stories that they collected between 2016 and 2019, Riggan and Poole's engaging ethnography traces the fate of Eritrean refugees in a very unstable Ethiopia. The authors brilliantly examine how temporality (and not just spatiality) plays key roles in understanding Eritrean refugees' everyday lives in refugee camps and urban settings in the years that led up to a devastating war. The authors unveil how Eritrean refugees inescapably experience temporal suffering and teleological violence within these structural barriers, while their present becomes ungraspable and thus unmovable."—Sabina M.

Stanford University Press Another Japan Is Possible
Book SynopsisExamines the genesis of internationally linked Japanese nongovernmental advocacy networks; their critiques of neoliberalism, militarism, and nationalism; their local, regional, and global connections; their relationships with the Japanese government; and their role in constructing an identity of the Japanese as global citizens.Trade Review"Chan's study is a rare and comprehensive compilation of Japanese voices articulating their demand for an alternative model of citizenship...Chan's book can be highly recommended to all interested in 'the other Japan.'" -- Internationales Asienforum"This book is rich in primary material on the human side of NGO activity in Japan, along a wide spectrum of organizations. In that alone it is a valuable text. This is a nuanced view of advocacy, strategies and institutions, sometimes against the grain of existing views, and it adds the perspectives of "new global citizens" of Japan, engaged in knowledge production. The book will be very useful indeed in social and political science courses, and in courses on globalization, social change and identity." —Merry White, Professor, Department of Anthropology, Boston University"A surprise for observers who view Japan as a developmental state, run by a powerful central bureaucracy and aligned with a conservative party whose policies often override public interest, Another Japan is Possible casts new light on a neglected but vital aspect of Japan's emerging political economy. A remarkable group of scholars, professionals and citizen activists reveal the growing numbers of committed Japanese participating energetically in local and global organizations devoted to a broad range of issues, from the environment and sustainable development to health care, migrant workers, disability, gender, and minority rights." —Daniel I. Okimoto, Professor, Department of Political Science, and Director Emeritus, Walter H. Shorenstein Asia Pacific Research Center, Stanford University"As a civil society scholar, I can say that this book is a desired piece of work...This book makes an important contribution to connecting Japanese accounts to both Japanese and global discourses on civil society." -- Akihiro Ogawa * Stockholm University *"To conclude, the use of the book is twofold. Firstly, it can serve as an eye-opener to readers who are stuck in the image of Japan as a country where discontent seldom takes the form of overt protest or citizen engagement. Secondly, it presents a lot of raw material and information which... can be useful to readers interested in Japanese civil society or the groups presented in the book. " -- Japanese Studies"The days are gone forever when the prevailing cliche in Japan suggested that there were only two types of social entities: governmental institutions and non-governmental individuals (the so-called middle mass). However, of late the former has been fragmenting themselves while the latter has been flourishing and fraternalizing themselves with transnational and international counterparts. Jennifer Chan has vividly illustrated this incredible turnaround with good contextualizing narratives and rich and informative constructions of the thinking and sentiments those non-governmental organizations generate in a vast array of areas. A must read in the study of globalization and localization." -- Inoguchi Takashi, Professor Emeritus * University of Tokyo, and Professor of Political Science, Chuo University, Tokyo *Table of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc4:Tables and Figures iii Acknowledgments iii Note on Conventions iii @toc2:Introduction: Global Governance and Japanese Nongovernmental Advocacy Networks 1 @toc1:Part I Global Governance @toc2:Introduction to Part I 000 @toc2:1.

Stanford University Press Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, Palestinian heritage organizations have launched numerous urban regeneration and museum projects across the West Bank in response to the enduring Israeli occupation. These efforts to reclaim and assert Palestinian heritage differ significantly from the typical global cultural project: here it is people's cultural memory and living environment, rather than ancient history and archaeology, that take center stage. It is local civil society and NGOs, not state actors, who are "doing" heritage. In this context, Palestinian heritage has become not just a practice of resistance, but a resourceful mode of governing the Palestinian landscape. With this book, Chiara De Cesari examines these Palestinian heritage projects—notably the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, Riwaq, and the Palestinian Museum—and the transnational actors, practices, and material sites they mobilize to create new institutions in the absence of a sovereign state. Through their rehabilitation of Palestinian heritage, these organizations have halted the expansion of Israeli settlements. They have also given Palestinians opportunities to rethink and transform state functions. Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine reveals how the West Bank is home to creative experimentation, insurgent agencies, and resourceful attempts to reverse colonial violence—and a model of how things could be.Trade Review"Chiara De Cesari provides a creative and thoroughly researched account of the way space and the material reality of buildings have become an important, if also contradictory, site for Palestinian claims. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in cultural and architectural heritage, urban transformation, museums, or landscape—and how these are used to counter dispossession." -- Helga Tawil-Souri * New York University *"Chiara De Cesari boldly and creatively shows that politics does not always happen where we expect it to be. In this book, heritage emerges as a site of political mobilization, one in which Palestinian women do more than play a central part: They shape the idioms and create the very materiality in which the temporalities of struggle are woven through people's lives. Through the stories of activists, architects, and residents of Palestine, De Cesari makes a strong case for how Palestinian heritage can make claims and demands on the Israeli state." -- Ann Laura Stoler * The New School for Social Research *"This pathbreaking book links cultural heritage and the postcolonial condition in new and provocative ways. Chiara De Cesari's nuanced ethnography of Palestine reconfigures our understanding of the relationship between sovereignty and culture." -- John F. Collins * author of Revolt of the Saints: Memory and Redemption in the Twilight of Brazilian Racial Democracy *"De Cesari's rigorous analysis takes the reader through a web of complexities which show the different dynamics of heritage. A meticulous treatise indeed—the book makes for valuable reading, in particular when it comes to understanding the many layers of resistance against cultural dispossession and Israel's colonial violence." -- Ramona Wadi * The New Arab *"Chiara De Cesari's book on Palestine appears as a groundbreaking work that offers a different option for understanding how heritage is deployed in a proxy state, a political entity under siege, whose international sovereignty is still being renegotiated." -- Cheikh Lo * Journal of Folklore Research *"De Cesari argues convincingly that NGOs and museums are initiating processes of institutionalization and governance in the absence of a stable [Palestinian] state....This book provides an important opening for a critical discussion regarding the ways in which the word "Palestine" has not lost meaning." -- Rasmieyh R. Abdelnabi * Journal of Palestine Studies *"Chiara de Cesari's study is noteworthy for its acute analysis of the relations between cultural heritage and the nation-state, and for the thoroughness with which she examines this relationship in the case of Palestine." -- Rosemary Sayigh * Journal of Holy Land and Palestine Studies *"Heritage and the Cultural Struggle for Palestine is an illuminating study, useful for both a better understanding of life and struggles in Palestine, and for a broader discussion of the politics of heritage." -- Adi Kuntsman * International Journal of Middle East Studies *Table of ContentsContents and AbstractsIntroduction: The Stakes of Heritage and the Politics of Culture chapter abstractThe introduction opens with the story of the Palestinian heritage organization rehabilitating the occupied and colonized Old City of Hebron. This story encapsulates many facets of the book, particularly the relationship between heritage making and Palestinians laying claims to sovereignty (that is, resisting colonization) and instantiating provisional, improvised, resourceful forms of government. It lays out the key argument of the book that Palestinian heritage has transformed from a practice of resistance into a mode of "governing" the Palestinian landscape and society that is deeply connected to transnational regimes of development and a precarious if resourceful process of state building in the absence of a sovereign state. Finally, the introduction outlines the book's key theoretical concerns: how heritage functions in mutating colonial formations and as a form of anticolonial governmentality beyond the nation-state as well as the work of heritage as expanding transnational framework of practices and meanings. 1A Political History of Palestinian Heritage chapter abstractChapter 1 examines the history of heritage preservation in Palestine in the 20th century. It begins with the work of Palestinian orientalists and ethnographers under the British Mandate in the 1920s and 1930s, to analyze how they rework colonial science in the spirit of a nascent Palestinian cultural nationalism. It then focuses on the Folklore Movement of the 1970s and 1980s and particularly its connection to the national liberation movement and the women's movement as well as its practice of anticolonial resistance and activist preservation in the occupied territories. 2Government Through Heritage in Old Hebron chapter abstractChapter 2 discusses the project of historic conservation and urban revitalization in the Old City of Hebron, which remained under Israeli control after the Oslo Accords because of the presence of several Jewish settlements. The chapter explores informal governmentalities through heritage. Countering the settlers' takeover of the Old City, the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee has restored and repopulated a large part of the city's dilapidated central quarters. But in order to sustain livelihoods in difficult conditions, it has begun to work on socioeconomic development through a broad set of interventions, adopting the language and practices of international development. Over the years, with the Palestinian Authority not being able to work in the occupied Old City, the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee has come to function as a hybrid institution of local government. 3Heritage, NGOs, and State Making chapter abstractChapter 3 examines the state-building role of heritage NGOs and the complex relationship between these organizations and the heritage body of the Palestinian Authority (PA). It argues that the Palestinian heritage movement or "heritage by NGOs" helps create and sustain not only icons and rituals of cultural nationalism but also a national infrastructure of heritage preservation and a set of national institutions alternative to those of the PA, like inventories, heritage units, master plans, and laws. In addition to preserving Palestinian identity and reclaiming Palestinian lands, West Bank organizations wish to ameliorate the living conditions of historic districts' residents and villagers and so intervene in the spaces and habits of their everyday life. In so doing—and in the context of the PA's structural weakness—they experiment with a range of modes of planning and governance, and enact a form of resourceful statecraft from the margins of the state. 4Palestinian National Museums Post-Oslo chapter abstractPlacing heritage initiatives in the context of a broader cultural revival in the West Bank, Chapter 4 discusses the peculiar history of post-Oslo museums; if the Palestinian Authority has failed to create a major national museum—as a key institution of national representation—also due to a fundamental lack of objects and museum collections, Palestinian artists and cultural producers have instead experimented with different museum formats, creating virtual museums and nomadic museums in exile, thus producing creative national institutions in transnational spaces. These alternative museums walk a tightrope between establishing authority (as institutionality, as rules and regulations, as an authoritative museum voice) and challenging such authority to promote radical, democratic practices. Conclusion: Cultural Governmentality and Activist Statehood chapter abstractThe conclusion opens with an examination of the Islamic Movement and Palestinian activist preservation in Israel targeting the remains of the Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948 when the Israeli state was established. It compares this heritage work with the work of Palestinian NGOs in the West Bank, which have moved toward development and institution building, or a kind of activist statehood. The conclusion then makes an argument for the relevance of new forms of cultural governmentality and heritage-led development well beyond Palestine.

University of Pennsylvania Press Benevolent Empire: U.S. Power, Humanitarianism,
Book SynopsisStephen Porter's Benevolent Empire examines political-refugee aid initiatives and related humanitarian endeavors led by American people and institutions from World War I through the Cold War, opening an important window onto the "short American century." Chronicling both international relief efforts and domestic resettlement programs aimed at dispossessed people from Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, Porter asks how, why, and with what effects American actors took responsibility for millions of victims of war, persecution, and political upheaval during these decades. Diverse forces within the American state and civil society directed these endeavors through public-private governing arrangements, a dynamic yielding both benefits and liabilities. Motivated by a variety of geopolitical, ethical, and cultural reasons, these advocates for humanitarian action typically shared a desire to portray the United States, to the American people and international audiences, as an exceptional, benevolent world power whose objects of concern might potentially include any vulnerable people across the globe. And though reality almost always fell short of that idealized vision, Porter argues that this omnivorous philanthropic energy helped propel and steer the ascendance of the United States to its position of elite global power. The messaging and administration of refugee aid initiatives informed key dimensions of American and international history during this period, including U.S. foreign relations, international humanitarianism and human rights, global migration and citizenship, and American political development and social relations at home. Benevolent Empire is thus simultaneously a history of the United States and the world beyond.Trade Review"[T]here can be an almost indistinguishable line between humanitarian aid that is benevolent and that which is weaponized...Porter sets out this story masterfully. Alternating between bird’s-eye overviews and fascinating individual stories and details, the author shares a vivid history of the complexities of U.S. humanitarian efforts to address displaced people over the decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries." * American Historical Review *"Benevolent Empire is an important book that should be widely read due to its ability to translate a multidimensional, transnational phenomenon into an engaging narrative that speaks to a variety of both contemporary and historical issues...[O]ne cannot help but be struck by the importance of this book to current debates about refugees and asylum-seekers within the context of the U.S. role in the world." * Diplomatic History *"Standing at the intersection of several historiographical fields, Benevolent Empire makes important contributions to each of them. By adding to a growing literature on the histories of U.S. humanitarian assistance and . . . human rights, the book will be essential reading for historians of immigration, American political development, and U.S. international relations." * Journal of American History *"Benevolent Empire makes key contributions to a growing body of scholarship on the 'United States in the world' and across the fields of immigrant and refugee studies, humanitarianism and human rights, and US foreign policy through its illumination of a largely understudied dimension of US globalism — namely, the role that international relief and refugee initiatives have come to play in the making of a deterritorialized American empire...Porter’s insights into the developments of decades past present potential pathways for how a truly humane and humanitarian policy in relation to the world’s dispossessed might be forged." * International Migration Review *"Benevolent Empire interweaves a vast and growing literature on humanitarian relief, the international dimensions of American civil rights reform, immigration, and American political development...[A] well-crafted study...If there is any moral in Porter’s account, it would be the imperative need to more fully awaken the humanitarian sensibility among host-nation populations to admit extensive and long-lasting responsibilities for those unfortunate peoples whose homelands have been torn asunder." * H-Diplo *"Benevolent Empire is a wonderful and important book that makes original contributions on multiple fronts. Immigration and refugee historians, of course, will have this book on their shelves but so will scholars of American political development, of human rights and humanitarianism, and of twentieth-century U.S. foreign policy." * Carl Bon Tempo, State University of New York at Albany *

University of Minnesota Press Red Gold: The Managed Extinction of the Giant
Book SynopsisIlluminating the conditions for global governance to have precipitated the devastating decline of one of the ocean’s most majestic creatures The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) is the world’s foremost organization for managing and conserving tunas, seabirds, turtles, and sharks traversing international waters. Founded by treaty in 1969, ICCAT stewards what has become under its tenure one of the planet’s most prominent endangered fish: the Atlantic bluefin tuna. Called “red gold” by industry insiders for the exorbitant price her ruby-colored flesh commands in the sushi economy, the giant bluefin tuna has crashed in size and number under ICCAT’s custodianship.With regulations to conserve these sea creatures in place for half a century, why have so many big bluefin tuna vanished from the Atlantic? In Red Gold, Jennifer E. Telesca offers unparalleled access to ICCAT to show that the institution has faithfully executed the task assigned it by international law: to fish as hard as possible to grow national economies. ICCAT manages the bluefin not to protect them but to secure export markets for commodity empires—and, as a result, has become complicit in their extermination.The decades of regulating fish as commodities have had disastrous consequences. Amid the mass extinction of all kinds of life today, Red Gold reacquaints the reader with the splendors of the giant bluefin tuna through vignettes that defy technoscientific and market rationales. Ultimately, this book shows, changing the way people value marine life must come not only from reforming ICCAT but from transforming the dominant culture that consents to this slaughter.Trade Review"Both unusually thorough and unusually heartfelt, Red Gold is filled with high quality factual detail yet is framed with graceful, thoughtfully considered language. As close as I’ve been to this extraordinary fish as a living creature and as the object of intense debate and conflicting policies over the years, I admire the job Jennifer Telesca has pulled off. I also learned a lot."—Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Becoming Wild"Engaging and well-argued, Red Gold is an exemplary documentation of how bad-faith science conducted at the behest of corporate interests provides cover for the over-exploitation of ‘natural resources.’"—Daniel Pauly, author of Vanishing Fish: Shifting Baselines and the Future of Global Fisheries"Red Gold offers a deep and disturbing portrait of the intersecting impacts of the global food chain, international regulation, and ocean conservation. Jennifer E. Telesca’s powerful prose and analytic insight chart the drama of human-induced species decline in the name of conservation. Combining ethnography, political economy, legal studies, and scientific research with fast-paced storytelling, she provides an intimate account of ocean governance and environmental loss."—Brenda Chalfin, author of Neoliberal Frontiers: An Ethnography of Sovereignty in West Africa"Jennifer E. Telesca’s wide-ranging study of the giant bluefin tuna challenges many deeply held dogmas. We overfish because of the tragedy of the commons and think the solution is regulation. But Telesca argues that we are regulating our way to extinction. The tragedy is not of the commons, but of commodification. The drive to extinction will not stop until we value these animals as fellow travelers on this planet, rather than as resources from whom we can extract value."—Dale Jamieson, director, Center for Environmental and Animal Protection, New York University"In his decades of reviewing environmental policy literature, this reviewer has encountered few books that more passionately or poetically express grief over loss of a species than this extended epitaph for the giant warm-blooded Atlantic bluefin tuna."—CHOICE"It is worth taking a deep dive into Red Gold"—Public Books"Jennifer Telesca, in her first ethnographic monograph, writes with exuberance and determination as she examines the geoeconomics of Atlantic Bluefin tuna capture fisheries management. Using Atlantic Bluefin tuna as her ethnographic subject, Telesca follows the fish on her breathtaking travels across the Atlantic and Mediterranean, and through a long history of capture by human societies."—Political and Legal Anthropology Review "Telesca brilliantly analyzes the social and cultural dimensions of institutions engineered for economic and political ends. Red Gold can be read as an excellent ethnography and sociology of science of international deliberations, marine policymaking, and fisheries science."—American AnthropologistTable of ContentsContentsAbbreviationsPrologue.

Emerald Publishing Limited Making Aid Agencies Work: Reconnecting INGOs with
Book SynopsisThe development industry is worth billions. International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) have become an integral component in international development and humanitarian response. Yet as recent scandals at Save the Children and Oxfam have highlighted, such organizations can overstep moral boundaries, raising questions about the scale, power and role of INGOs. Are they dedicated to continuous learning and self-improvement, or are they development dinosaurs driven by their own need for survival and by the political agendas of their paymasters? Drawing upon his experience as an international development practitioner-one who has worked with NGOs large and small, international and local, in over 40 countries-and drawing also upon his own academic research, Terry Gibson addresses these questions head on. He combines large-scale industry analysis with attention to the lives and worlds of the people the aid industry aims to serve, and he demonstrates how to overcome barriers between the two worlds and free flows of learning, resources, and even political influences that might lead to better outcomes. Making Aid Agencies Work is essential reading for practitioners and researchers, as well as for anyone concerned about the future of this vital area of human endeavour.Trade ReviewGibson, a researcher and activist in international development, describes how to make aid agencies work, arguing that the problems in international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are due to a disconnect between the lives of people they serve and the industry. He examines the origin and growth of the industry, what drives it, and the challenges it faces, then insights that can be gained from local experience and knowledge, how they could lead to a restructuring of the operations in international nongovernmental organizations, implications for the structure of organizations, and what can be learned from organizations that have adopted different forms that focus more on learning and action. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *Terry Gibson uses his expertise and knowledge to achieve the objectives of providing a critical analysis of INGOs and proposing a radical agenda of how they can be transformed. The book raises critical questions. It answers them using both academic theory and empirical literature, as well as examples from the author's own experience. The book is thus of interest for any third sector theorist and practitioner concerned about the role of INGOs, their effectiveness and accountability.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Transnational Business Governance Interactions:
Book SynopsisFrom agriculture to sport and from climate change to indigenous rights, transnational regulatory regimes and actors are multiplying and interacting with poorly understood results. This interdisciplinary book investigates whether, how and by whom transnational business governance interactions (TBGIs) can be harnessed to improve the quality of transnational regulation and advance the interests of marginalized actors. Exploring multiple sectors and issue areas, Transnational Business Governance Interactions presents new empirical and theoretical research from leading and emerging scholars and identifies obstacles to, and opportunities for, mobilizing TBGIs to enhance regulatory capacities, outputs and outcomes and to advance marginalized actors in transnational business governance. The prime readership for this work is an interdisciplinary audience of academics including scholars of law, business, environmental studies, international relations, political science, political economy and sociology. Because of its attention to practical strategies to harness governance interactions to enhance regulatory quality and advance marginalized groups, the book will also be of interest to high-level participants in global business governance, including standards-setting bodies, certification bodies, auditors, trade associations, civil society organizations, social movement organizers, national regulators, overseas development agencies and international organizations.

Book SynopsisIt was hoped that by paying forest dependent peoples and countries for their 'service' of conserving their forests, REDD+ would lead to a reduction in deforestation greenhouse gases. The complexities have, however, left some ambiguities. It was never agreed who would pay for the programme, and it has been criticised as ignoring the root causes of forest loss. Considering the motivations of those who promoted REDD+ this book proposes remedies to its shortfalls and recommends more efficient, equitable and effective conservation policies.Describing REDD+ from an agency perspective, this book provides a first-hand account of how individuals and institutions influenced international negotiations. It offers a comparative analysis of REDD+ as a forest conservation regime and of the way it was incorporated into the 2015 Paris agreements. In doing so, this book shows how contextual inequalities and power imbalances can result in international regimes which favour the economically powerful, and proposes providing greater roles for the assumed beneficiaries of environmental agreements in negotiations.This is an excellent introduction to REDD+, its background and execution, and will be a vital resource for students of international environmental governance, as well as for academics and researchers working on REDD+, forest policy and international governance in general.Trade Review‘This book provides a rich overview of the multifaceted phenomenon -- referred to as REDD+, and invites further analysis of what might become (or not) a new international forest regime.’– Véra Ehrenstein, Review of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Studies (RAFE)Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgments 1.
