Book SynopsisWith resurgent interest in the Muslim world and in particular political Islam, this collection of original essays by major Muslim thinkers from the Middle East and South Asia demonstrates the ongoing and contentious debate between modernizers seeking to adapt Western ways and fundamentalists who rejected them.

Book SynopsisErich Fromm and the Quest for Solidarity argues that Fromm's humanistic ethics provides a framework for the analysis of alienation in affluent societies and his exploration of the social forces capable of challenging that alienation.Trade Review"Lawrence Wilde has provided us with a work that can only build our appreciation for the legacy of Erich Fromm. Anyone concerned with the theory of radical humanism and the possibilities of solidarity should read this exceptionally well researched and clearly written intellectual biography. It has much to teach about one of the most important and under-rated thinkers of our time." - Stephen Eric Bronner, Rutgers University "Erich Fromm's radical humanism, rooted in psychoanalysis, Marxism, and religious thought, remains one of the twentieth century's most cogent critiques of modernity. In his comprehensive new study, Lawrence Wilde offers us a well-documented critical analysis of Fromm's thought in light of contemporary concerns. In so doing, he focuses on core philosophical and political issues such as freedom vs. authoritarianism, humanism vs. anti-humanism, creativity vs. alienation, and patriarchy vs. gender emancipation." - Kevin B.

Book SynopsisWritten from a transatlantic perspective and based largely on primary sources, Conceiving Carolina provides the first systematic treatment of the colonization of South Carolina in over a century. It argues that the political culture that developed in the colony amounted to an extension of the political life in early modern England.Trade Review"Roper's subject is compelling, given the cast of characters and events that made proprietary South Carolina what it was. Roper's original take on the formative period of South Carolina's distinctive history will catch the scholar's notice and raise an eyebrow or two, but all who pore over Conceiving Carolina will be treated to a fascinating story that is as instructive as it is well told." - Warren M. Billings, PhD, Distinguished Professor and Chairman, Department of History, University of New Orleans "Conceiving Carolina is a welcome contribution to the scholarly literature on colonial South Carolina. Focusing on the era of proprietary government, it delineates the complex relationships that arose between London courtiers, West Indian planters, Yamassee warriors, Anglican missionaries, Huguenot refugees, British and Irish settlers, and African slaves. As Roper shows, the colony's early social and political development replicated patterns evident throughout the British Atlantic; at the same time, a major theme is the weakness of the centralizing Anglo-British state along its transoceanic periphery. Historians will find much of value in this book." - Eliga H. Gould, University of New Hampshire "Roper's study is a rich source of information on the first sixty-seven years of Carolina's history." - Catherine Cardno, Johns Hopkins UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Prologue Genesis Blueprint Birthpangs The Rise of the Goose Creek Men Plots Stuarts Town Treachery Plots Consternation Conclusions Abbreviations Notes

Book SynopsisFocusing on individual political thinkers and beginning with indigenous African political thought, the book successively examines African nationalism, African socialism, populism and Marxism, Africanism and pan-Africanism, concluding with contemporary perspectives on democracy, development and the African state.Trade Review'Guy Martin, as a distinguished Africanist scholar, has rendered an invaluable and pioneering scholarly service with a much-needed single thematic volume that constitutes a synthesis of the state of knowledge in the context of African political thought, which deserves unlimited praise.' - A.B. Assensoh, African American & African Diaspora Studies Professor Emeritus, Indiana University-Bloomington, USA 'In this excellent book, Guy Martin has conducted the most comprehensive study of African political thought, by masterfully examining the various philosophical strands. As well, he systematically probed the historical development of each ideology from antiquity to present, including the significant but under-researched contributions of indigenous African political systems. This book is a must-read for those who are interested in African political philosophy.' - George Klay Kieh, Jr., Professor of Political Science, University of West Georgia, USA 'African Political Thought is a timely encyclopedic and enriched analytical work. Its arguments are deeply rooted in African political history, cultural values, and political struggles from ancient Africanity to the time of trans-Atlantic slavery and of neo-colonialism. Its methodological uniqueness is reflected in a comprehensive analysis of the major African political icons and pluralistic generations of African intellectuals. Written from Pan-African perspectives, Guy Martin proposes a rethinking of Africa in her totality. This outstanding analytical contribution will be relevant for many years to come.' - Tukumbi Lumumba-Kasongo, Wells College and Cornell University, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: African Political Thought, from Antiquity to the Present 1.

Book SynopsisTamara Chalabi highlights the development of a 'politics of demand' and the increased political activism of this community in a time of great change. It also explores how Arab nationalism was transformed from an ideology of opposition and empowerment of marginal communities, into a tool for the assertion of political domination.Trade Review"This is a very well-researched and well-written monograph on how the Shi a of South Lebanon negotiated a Lebanese Shi i identity for themselves amid two dominant ideologies - Libanism and Arabism - in both of which Shi a were marginalized . . .the book will be required reading for scholars generally interested in sectarian politics in the Middle East and scholars specifically interested in Lebanese Shi i history and politics because the rich account it offers is also helpful for positioning Shi i activism in Lebanon since the 1960s." - International Journal Middle East Studies "This path- breaking contribution to the changing role of the Shi'i community in Lebanon brings it into the Lebanese picture in a way never done before. Based on extensive use of new private sources, it is a model of scholarship and enhances our understanding of an increasingly prominent community." - Roger Owen, Professor of Middle East History, Harvard "This book sheds new light on the history of the Shi`is of Jabal`Amil in their formative years and therefore it contributes significantly to the literature on Shi`is and Shi`ism in the Arab world." - Marius Deeb, Middle East Politics, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University"Chalabi masterfully brings this missing history to life ...required reading for any scholar or policy practitioner working on modern Lebanon." - Middle East Quarterly "Tamara Chalabi has written an accessible but learned account of the Shiite community of Lebanon.

Book SynopsisIntroduction National Interests and Military Alliances: The Cold War NATO NATO's Post-Cold War Transition and the Transatlantic Divide September 11, 2001: A New Life for NATO? An Alliance in Name Only: NATO and Iraq Afghanistan: NATO's Last Hurrah? Reinventing NATO: Scenarios and Hurdles ConclusionsTrade Review'NATO after 9/11: An Alliance in Continuing Decline is the most important book on the transatlantic relationship to appear in the past decade. Richard Rupp builds a compelling case that the expanded version of NATO, focused on missions outside of Europe, exhibits only superficial health. The underlying reality is an alliance that lacks cohesion and increasingly lacks the capability to act effectively even when there is general agreement on a policy initiative.This meticulously researched, clearly written book is must reading for anyone interested in the future of NATO.' - Ted Galen Carpenter, Vice President, Defense and Foreign Policy Studies, Cato Institute 'Since the end of the Cold War, endless editorials and journal articles have superficially fuelled the 'NATO is dead' thesis. With Rupp's important work, we finally have a scholarly and densely argued book which submits that thesis to a rigorous scrutiny. Rupp's analysis is searching and sophisticated, comprehensive and coherent. This is not the loaded logic of the isolationist, the pacifist or the neo-conservative. Nor is it an autopsy. It is the honest and reluctant, but nevertheless categorical, conclusion of a NATO insider who does not balk at making an unwelcome case: put simply, that NATO is increasingly peripheral to the security requirements of its member states. For all those interested in transatlantic relations, international security and Alliance transformation, Rupp's book must be required reading.' - Jolyon Howorth, Yale UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction National Interests and Military Alliances: The Cold War NATO NATO's Post-Cold War Transition and the Transatlantic Divide September 11, 2001: A New Life for NATO?

Book SynopsisNelson provides a historical overview of the theoretical and ideological evolution of the modern state, from pre-state and pre-modern state formations to the present. A major theme of the book is the need to understand the modern state holistically, as a totality of social, political, and ideological factors.Trade Review"This book is a welcome antidote to the tendencies in recent political science to denigrate and abandon the state as a foundational concept. Nelson tracks the concept of state from antiquity to the present, from inchoate pre-state forms to the modern state, demonstrating in his excellent survey that the anatomy of the state is both relevant and compelling in shaping contemporary political inquiry. A generous and accessible work that should be read by all students of politics." - Fred Frohock, University of Miami "Brian Nelson has written an excellent book tracing the intellectual history of the concept of 'the state' in Western political thought from the classical era to the present day. Working from a clear and concise understanding of the core elements of the state in political life, Professor Nelson does a remarkable job articulating its evolution over time, as well as the dynamic relationships between political historical development and political understanding. Nelson is unsurpassed in his ability to succinctly summarize the most central components in the writings of canonical political theorists, as well as the most significant historical influences on the development of those thoughts. The argument of the book, moreover, makes clear what Americans (and especially American political scientists) have lost by adopting an anti-state ideology that blinds most of us to the realities of the American polity in the world today." - Ronald Schmidt, Sr., California State University, Long Beach, and author of Language Policy and Identity Politics in the United States 'Nelson's The Making of the Modern State is a brilliant intellectual Tour de Force. The erudition and scholarship of this major work of political philosophy are truly exceptional. The coverage of the subject matter as well is comprehensive and exhaustive both in theoretical and historical terms. In addition, his personal insights and interpretive novelty of fundamental theories and concepts are very valuable contributions to our stock of knowledge in the field. This book is a landmark in the literature of an academic genre known for its abstruseness. It will prove of great interest and didactic value to a wide spectrum of readers, ranging from academics to the educated public in general.' - Antonio Jorge, Professor of Political Economy, Florida International UniversityTable of ContentsState and Ideology State Formations The Ideal State The Christian Republic The Making of Leviathan The Metaphysical Theory of the State The Sociology of the State The State in Retrospect

Book SynopsisThis book examines the development of Italian southern question discourse based on the perceived cultural, political, and economic divide between north and south.Trade Review"A rich feast of Italian ideas about race from 1861 to 1911. Recommended." - CHOICE "This impressively researched study traces how the achievement of Italian unity forced northern Italians to confront a part of the new country that was profoundly different. Northerners moved from a belief that the South was not just a victim of bad government to one that made southern Italians into classic outsiders, an alien element in the new Italy - an extension of Africa into the peninsula. In a final ironic twist Wong shows how imperialism allowed Italian nationalists a way to reintegrate southerners into the nation as part of the Italian colonial vanguard in North Africa. Wong's research deepens our understanding of liberal Italy as it grappled with the great intractable challenge to national unity that emerged from the Risorgimento." - Alexander de Grand, Emeritus Professor of History, North Carolina State University "This timely and original book recasts modern Italian history by arguing for the centrality of the 'southern problem' to Italy's nation-building process in such diverse areas as racial science, imperialism, and immigration. A highly readable account of the political utility of the Italian south, Race and the Nation in Liberal Italy is a much-needed contribution to the history of race and difference in modern Italy and a fascinating history of a regional stereotype that still has resonance today in discussions about nation, identity, and belonging." - Carol Helstosky, Associate Professor of History, University of Denver"Aliza Wong has produced a very well written, effectively argued, and rich study on the debate of the Southern Question in post unification Italy and the interconnection between the meridionalist discourse and physiognomy, imperialism, and emigration. This valuable book is relevant to the understanding of present day Italy. The volume is highly recommended to scholars of Italian history and present day Italy as well as to students interested in nationalism and national identity, imperialism, and emigration." - Alexander Grab, author of Napoleon and the Transformation of Europe, Adelaide & Alan Bird Professor of History, University of Maine"It is a revelation to read about how the 'European' North constructed the stereotype of the 'Africa-like' South at the moment of Italian unification and nation-building in the 19th c.., a complicated yet transparent process that is meticulously delineated here and, as the author makes clear, produces language, arguments and images that veer perilously close to a racist ideology. What makes this story even more compelling is how these discourses of difference followed the massive migration of southern Italians to America, where they encountered an even more virulent brand of American racism." - Evelyn Hu-DeHart, Professor of History and Ethnic Studies and Director, Center for the Sudy of Race and Ethnicity in America, Brown UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction: Complexities of Language: Lexicons of Race, Nation, and Identity The Dawning of the Mezzogiorno: The South in the Construction of Italy Making the South 'Italian': Writing the Post-Risorgimento Southern Question Science and the Codification of Race: Physiognomy and the Politics of Southern Identity The Nature of Conquest: Imperial Endeavor and Race Politics and Permeability: Southern Italian Immigration and the New Imperialism Land of Emigration, Land of Immigration: Toward a New Diasporic Italy

Book SynopsisAt the intersection of the warmth of hearth and home and the dangers of the street lies the tenuous position of women engaged in reproductive labour, those involved in the sex trade and those in domestic positions.Trade ReviewThis book shows us what feminist international political-economy looks like: a Ukrainian woman trying to cope with neo-liberal restructuring by risking migration to work in a Turkish cabaret; a Chechen male 'impressario' importing women into Cyprus to reap profits; a Greek professional woman calculating the pros and cons of hiring a Filipina or a Sri Lankan woman as her domestic worker ; government officials using women's cheapened labor to solve their states' problems. Anna Agathangelou reveals how these very specific relationships together comprise the new global system. This is an engaging, valuable book for us all. - Cynthia Enloe, author of Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics Reproductive labor has for too long been sidelined in debates and actions around globalization. This thought-provoking and politically engaged book demonstrates the complicity of the state in the exploitation of reproductive labor in the interests of global capitalism and the importance of learning from the lives of female migrant workers. Drawing on empirical material to theorize the racialized feminization of the 'desire industries' and to explore the possibilities for organizing and change, Anna Agathangelou succeeds in making theory accessible and relevant. - Bridget Anderson, Centre On Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) Madam and maid, master and slave: these remain central to capitalism even though we imagine them to be replaced by private relations of contract and choice. Agathangelou makes us look at the violence that lies beneath how people of rich countries come to know themselves as a people who possess the freedom to consume people and things, and how peripheral states come to participate in these arrangements. An utterly compelling analysis of the international 'commodification of the intimacies' of sex and domestic work, and of the race, gender, and class hierarchies of the global economy. - Sherene H.

Book SynopsisOn March 24, 1944, Nazi occupation forces in Rome killed 335 unarmed civilians in retaliation for a partisan attack the day before.Trade Review"An extremely readable book. Portelli's work is to be valued not only for the light it casts on an important moment in the history of the Italian Resistance, but also for what it has to say about the history of the working classes in Rome." - Journal of Modern Italian Studies"Alessandro Portelli's The Order Has Been Carried Out is a major work by a scholar who has already helped to form the field of oral history. It is an intricate and compelling account of one of the central events of the German occupation of Rome during World War II, a partisan attack followed by a retaliatory Nazi massacre. Portelli manages to show how an historic event which is supposedly very well-known has in fact been largely hidden under layers of mystification during its constant telling and retelling." - Alexander Stille, author of Future of the Past "Alessandro Portelli, one of the most creative interpreters of oral testimony, explores again the complex intersection of memory, history, consciousness, and ideology, this time in the context of a Nazi massacre in the city of Rome in 1944. What is so startling about the work is the subtle and respectful manner in which the voices of those for whom the memory remains a deep personal scar is interwoven with those for whom the events are simply history. Only someone with the talents of Portelli could weave this kind of textured narrative that highlights the dual nature of the interviewing experience and the ways in which such testimony acts as a text within the continuing discourse about the human condition." - Ronald J. Grele, Former Director, Columbia University Oral History Research Office "This is a remarkable and innovative exploration at the intersection of personal experience, memory, and history. Portelli raises original and profound issues in theory and practice of history-making while letting participants speak their own minds. We join his subjects in reflecting on what it means when loved ones die at the wrong time and in the wrong place, when the causes for which they died fade from memory into history." - David Thelen, Indiana University "In contrast to his well-known volumes of collected essays, Alessandro Portelli's The Order Has Been Carried Out is a sustained book-length history-yet one that draws on and extends the qualities that have earned his earlier work international acclaim. Analytically, meditatively, passionately, and poetically, Portelli explores and documents, as fact and as memory, an episode critical to the history of Italy and World War II and to the postwar world right down to the present. Offering a movingly contemporary meditation on war, death, violence, and political struggle, The Order Has Been Carried Out reminds us that oral history matters because it demonstrates how the past and present necessarily, if not comfortably, live together within all of us." - Michael Frisch, Professor of History, University at Buffalo, State University of New York In this, his masterpiece, Alessandro Portelli restores memory, and with it oral history, to its proper role in reconstructing the meaning of historical events. Through the telling of a Nazi massacre in Rome during World War II, we have been given a universal story that will permanently change our way of thinking about our past and ourselves -as witnesses and actors in a world increasingly plagued by what Portelli calls the "symmetry" of violence and retribution. - Mary Marshall Clark, Director, the Columbia University Oral History Research OfficeTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction PART I Places and Times Twenty Years: Fascism and Its Discontents Acts of War PART II Resistances Via Rasella The Massacre PART III A Strange Grief: Death, Mourning and Survival in Rome Politics of Memory Born Later

Book SynopsisFoucault continues on the theme of his 1978 course by focusing on the study of liberal and neo-liberal forms of government and concentrating in particular on two forms of neo-liberalism: German post-war liberalism and the liberalism of the Chicago School.Trade Review'Once more Michel Foucault demonstrates that he was perhaps the most prescient and challenging thinker of the twentieth century, and these lectures from 1978-9 have an enduring relevance for all those seeking to understand the forms of liberalism under which we are governed at the start of the twenty first century.' - Nikolas Rose, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 'This is an excellent translation of Michel Foucault's fascinating lectures on the history of the arts or sciences of liberal government from Adam Smith to the neo-liberalism of the German and Chicago Schools. They throw critical light on the roots of neo-liberal globalization today.' - James Tully, University of Victoria, Canada 'A brilliant, lucid and supremely relevant survey of the true origins of the state which cuts through the imprecision of much more theory and offers ideas which are of direct relevance not just to academics but to those engaged in the political process. A reminder that academic analysis need not be dull and irrelevant. A text, drawn from live speech, which captures the magic of a brilliant mind at work.' - Nick Butler, Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies, UK Praise for the series: 'These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of Foucault's later work - the relationship between power and knowledge.' - Library Journal 'Ideas spark off nearly every page...The words may have been spoken in [the 1970s] but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday.' - Bookforum 'Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are...' - The Nation '[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions...[He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture.' - The New York Review of BooksTable of ContentsForeword: François Ewald and Alessandro Fontana Introduction: Arnold I.

Book SynopsisAn exciting and highly original examination of the practices of truth-telling and speaking out freely (parr?sia) in ancient Greek tragedy and philosophy. Foucault discusses the difficult and changing practices of truth-telling in ancient democracies and tyrannies and offers a new perspective on the specific relationship of philosophy to politics.Trade Review"The publications of Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France have given us an incredible view of the development of his thinking. This new volume, The Government of Self and Others, shows us how Foucault was conceiving the relation between the self and the others who make up the political, how fearless speech (parr?sia) is at the center of both, and how parr?sia defines, for Foucault, philosophical action itself. Thanks to these lectures, we see Foucault as the great thinker he is." - Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University, USA. "The publication of Foucault's lectures is momentous not only because they deepen our understanding of his books and essays, but because they dramatically change the way we read him. This study of the ancient practice of parresia philosophical truth-telling forces us to abandon the view that his late thought was a turn away from politics. The key question in these lectures is the relationship between philosophy and politics: their necessary dependence, but impossible coincidence. The political significance of philosophy was an acute problem for Foucault throughout his life. It remains a definitive question today for anyone concerned with the future of Western political thought and practice." - Johanna Oksala, University of Dundee, UK. "The Government of Self and Others is a fascinating analysis of a notion which is at the center of the philosophical and political enterprise and is highly recommended for specialist and non-specialist scholars alike." - Christopher Forlini, Free University Berlin, Germany.Table of ContentsForeword: François Ewald and Alessandro Fontana Introduction: Arnold I.

In this course, he continues the theme of the previous year's lectures in exploring the notion of truth-telling in politics to establish a number of ethically irreducible conditionsbased on courage and conviction.Trade Review'In this, the final year of his lectures at the College de France, Michel Foucault reaches more deeply into the foundations of Western thought than ever. Emphasizing parrhesia, the ancient practice of speaking truth to power, he shows how it is a practice of the care of the self, and in so doing, demonstrates how the dictum 'know oneself' is only a part of our philosophical inheritance. This is an astonishing conclusion to the life's work of one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.' - Thomas Dumm, Amherst College, USA 'In his powerful final course of lectures, expertly edited by Frédéric Gros and sympathetically translated by Graham Burchell, Foucault provides an explicitly political focus to his work on parrhesia. He offers readings of a range of texts, of which those of the Apology and the Cynics are especially insightful. It is impossible to read these lectures without an eye to the links between his work and his life, but Foucault's focus remains on the material at hand and his long-running interest in the interrelations of truth, power and the subject.' - Stuart Elden, Durham University, UKTable of ContentsForeword: François Ewald and Alessandro Fontana 1 February 1984: First Hour 1 February 1984: Second Hour 8 February 1984: First Hour 8 February 1984: Second Hour 15 February1984: First Hour 15 February 1984: Second Hour 22 February 1984: First Hour 22 February 1984: Second Hour 29 February 1984: First Hour 29 February 1984: Second Hour 7 March 1984: First Hour 7 March 1984: Second Hour 14 March 1984: First Hour 14 March 1984: Second Hour 21 March 1984: First Hour 21 March 1984: Second Hour 28 March 1984: First Hour 28 March 1984: Second Hour Course context Index of notions Index of names

It's unique and comprehensive perspective opens a window on a past that may become the future.' - Tom Baugh, Green Institute 'Griffin's highly-detailed book reveals his vast knowledge of modern and fascist art, architecture and literature.' - Marla Stone, Modernism/Modernity 'The quality of Griffin's work lies in the fact that it offers a highly original, thought-provoking and challenging attempt at a synthesis in this difficult field of research...it is a highly stimulating and often persuasive study of fascism' - Thomas Rohkrämer, Lancaster University, Lancaster '...this book's primary value is that of offering a 'story' of how fascism became so attractive to millions of people, including legions of educated Europeans - among them many prominent politicians, literati, artists and academics...This study can be wholeheartedly recommended as a delightful, informative and illuminating read.

Book SynopsisJohn Rawlsis considered the most important theorist of justice in much of western Europe and the English-speaking world more generally. This volume examines Rawls's theory of international justice as worked out in his last and perhaps most controversial book, The Law of Peoples. It contains new and stimulating essays, some sympathetic, others critical, written by pre-eminent theorists in the field. These essays situate Rawls's The Law of Peoples historically and methodologically, and examine all its key ingredients: its thin cosmopolitanism, its doctrine of human rights, its principles of global economic justice, and its normative theory of liberal foreign policy. The book will set the terms of the debate on The Law of Peoples for years to come, thereby shaping the broader debates about global justice.Trade Review"This is a useful and illuminating volume that will greatly deepen its readers' understanding of Rawls's The Law of Peoples and related problems of justice and human rights on a global scale."

Book SynopsisFrom Ideologies to Public Philosophies: An Introduction to Political Theory provides a comprehensive and systematic account of the major ideologies of the 19th and 20th centuries-along with contemporary and emerging outlooks-to address the essential questions of political theory.Trade Review"The strengths of this work are many. Schumaker's schematic analysis of political ideas is thorough but never pedantic, and he illustrates his analysis with frequent and compelling examples. The result is a thoughtfully written text which will invite students into an interconnected dialogue about their most basic political beliefs. Students whose first exposure to political ideologies and philosophies comes through Schumaker's book will appreciate better not only their own opinions, but will have a better grasp of the advantages and limitations of a pluralistic system like our own, which allows other people's opinions to flourish as well."

Book SynopsisThrough a fusion of philosophical, social scientific, and historical methods, A Brief History of Liberty provides a comprehensive, philosophically-informed portrait of the elusive nature of one of our most cherished ideals.Trade Review"Although the book has a strongly classical liberal flavour, it also contains some interesting discussion of positive liberty. For one thing, Schmidtz and Brennan argue that the progress of negative liberty in western societies has massively expanded almost everyone's range of real options. For another, they suggest that this greater (negative and positive) external freedom can open the way to a greater internal or psychological" freedom". (The Philosophers' Magazine, 13 August 2010) "Its brevity and simplicity is perhaps understandable, given the historical focus and ambitious scope of the book, and the authors' evident desire to get the light, entertaining and up-beat narrative moving." (The Philosopher's Magazine, August 2010)"The book weaves together a number of figures in social, political, philosophical, economic, and even psychological theory, in a way not commonly found, and it does so rather effectively." (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, September 05, 2010) "Schmidtz and Brennan offer their readers insights into the freedom debate by following it through the broad sweep of Western history...[A Brief History of Liberty]... comprehensive notes and bibliographies and...deserve[s] to be taken seriously by those with an interest in liberty."

Book SynopsisThe Arab revolts changed the Middle East forever. A movement for democratic change has dissolved into chaos and bloodshed. States are collapsing. Out of a wave of sectarian fervour unleashed by these changes has emerged the merciless cruelty of Islamic State. Has the promise of the Arab Spring been lost? Can the West win a new War on Terror' against ISIS? Will a new generation of Arab strongmen crush the young revolutionaries who fought so hard for change? Drawing on a deep knowledge of the region and access to many of the key players, BBC Bureau Chief Paul Danahar explains how the history of the Middle East before the revolts has created the current turmoil. This updated edition includes a new Introduction, a revised chapter on recent events in Syria, new material on the rise of ISIS, and a new Afterward that brings the book completely up to date.Trade ReviewDanahar weaves a complex narrative into a lively, accessible read, much of which should withstand the passage of time … A solid but easygoing compendium for anyone who wants a read beyond the headlines, done with a journalistic lightness of touch * Daily Telegraph *This is a book about what happened after the Arab leaders were toppled in 2011, after the euphoria went flat and people went home again ... The optimistic take on the Arab revolution, though, is that the coups and massacres are part of a messy process that will eventually lead to more democratically responsive societies. This argument threads its way through Danahar’s remarkable analysis of the Arab Spring and I would like it to come true ... Danahar, an old Iraq hand, knows his sectarian fault lines and is a good guide. And, exceptionally for an Arabist, he deftly weaves in the problems of Isreal ... This is a book that tries to engage with people who can speak for everyone in the Spring, from Brotherhood activists ... To Israeli and Egyptian generals. It is written in a spirit of adventure ... And is all the better for it * The Times *The New Middle East is far and away the best book I’ve read on the effects of the Arab Spring: an excellent amalgamation of the scholarly and the journalistic, which gives it both a magisterial overview and the precision of close-up experience. Country by country Danahar has gone through the most important countries of the region, tracking the causes of change and the likely effects, and each of his judgments seems to me to be precise, enviably clear, thoroughly grounded and highly impressive. The world will move on after The New Middle East, and there will be major new developments, especially in Syria, but this book will continue to offer far more than just a snapshot of a particular moment: it will be a text which I, for one, will come back to again and again in order to understand the future * John Simpson *It’s hard to think of a senior BBC journalist better placed to write such a fine book on what the Middle East and the world looks like in the wake of the Arab Spring or one that has more insights … He has managed to achieve what many writers rarely do; to allow the voices of the people he has met, interviewed and worked and travelled with to emerge and to paint a picture of the Arab Spring through their eyes. He has done so in a style that is immediate, accessible and filled with warmth, compassion, realism * Rageh Omaar *Reporters who can analyse, and analysts who spent time on the ground, are rare. Time and again in this thorough, provocative and readable work, Danahar shows he combines the best of both. Danahar has spent years on the ground, working in some of the toughest places in the world. But this is no instant journalist’s account. Every turned page reveals deep research, powerful argument and a talent for acutely observed detail. Anyone interested in the Middle East, its present, past or future, should read this book * Jason Burke *There is lots of writing about the Middle East, much of it muddle-headed and ludicrously partial. It leaves you longing for a book that is clear-headed, honest and intelligent. Paul Danahar has produced such a book. His narrative spans a turbulent time but throughout all the upheavals and horrors he witnesses Danahar is a calm and intelligent witness. There is also great humanity in this excellent book. One is never allowed to forget that the Arab Spring is a narrative of people in extremis * Fergal Keane *Danahar's account has the pacey urgency and vivid colour of on-the-day news reporting ... he gives coherence and shape to the historic shifts taking place. He has a talent for shutting the noise of extraneous detail and laying bare the big picture. This book is trenchant, opinionated, blunt, entertaining and pleasingly readable. If you want a thorough accessible account of what has been going on in the Arab world over the last decade – and the historical context that gave rise to it – look no further * Allan Little *He reports perceptively on the internal contradictions of the Jewish state, from militant settlers to the ultraorthodox Haredim * Christopher de Bellaigue, Guardian *A timely exploration of an unstable region still on the brink of change and revolution * Traveller *Are you confused by the welter in the Middle East, headlines crowded with revolution and coup, Islamism, civil war and resurgent jihad? May I recommend Paul Danahar’s excellent regional survey, The New Middle East: The World After the Arab Spring? Danahar is the BBC’s Middle East bureau chief, experienced and clear eyed. His style is crisp and elegant, equally adept at telling human portraits as interviewing generals and presidents and sketching historical context ... The events of the Arab Spring and its aftermath will continue to defy prediction; but in the meantime, it’s worth reading Danahar to take stock of some of the geopolitical tectonic shifts and the forces that are remaking our old assumptions * Prospect *

Book SynopsisIn an interview with GÃnther Gaus for German television in 1964, Hannah Arendt insisted that she was not a philosopher but a political theorist. Disillusioned by the cooperation of German intellectuals with the Nazis, she said farewell to philosophy when she fled the country. This book examines Arendt''s ideas about thinking, acting and political responsibility, investigating the relationship between the life of the mind and the life of action that preoccupied Arendt throughout her life. By joining in the conversation between Arendt and Gaus, each contributor probes her ideas about thinking and judging and their relation to responsibility, power and violence. An insightful and intelligent treatment of the work of Hannah Arendt, this volume will appeal to a wide number of fields beyond political theory and philosophy, including law, literary studies, social anthropology and cultural history.Trade Review'When German television viewers tuned in to Günter Gaus's interview with Hannah Arendt in 1964, they got a glimpse of the vibrant animation of her political thought. The eleven essays in this book, inspired by scenes from that interview, bring Arendt's thought to life for us. They give us a vivid feeling for the contexts, intellectual and political, that mattered to Arendt; and they show us how, even as she rejected the subordination of politics to philosophy, Arendt made thinking matter to politics. A valuable collection, rich in insights not only about Arendt but about the enterprise of political theory.'

Book SynopsisThis important volume brings together a range of material in different areas of law and the social sciences that address questions concerning the rights of minorities. The discipline is arguably one of the oldest branches of public international law, and owes its heritage to those who struggled to create standards to protect the numerically inferior and non-dominant communities from the excesses of the majority. While reflecting this rich heritage, the works contained in this volume show the extent to which policy constructs (especially in law) have begun to pay heed to the need to include minorities in different domestic settings across the globe. To provide readers with a structured approach to understanding global minority rights law the editor divides the issues into six main headings, namely: Historical Development; Conceptual Development; Contemporary Challenges; Fundamental Norms of Minority Protection; Specific Rights of Minorities; Human Rights and Minority Rights.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Historical Development of Minority Rights Law: Historical background: international law moves from protection of particular groups to norms of a universal character, Patrick Thornberry; Minorities and the League of Nations in interwar Europe, Mark Mazower; The internationalization of minority rights, Will Kymlicka.

Book SynopsisIn today's world all claims tend to be founded on or justified by 'rights', be they political, social, economic or private. The ubiquity of this discourse has led to a blurring of the definition of what exactly constitutes rights, not to mention a blurring of the boundaries between different bundles of rights, their sources and the various institutional practices through which they are 'enjoyed' or asserted. Particular attention needs to be paid to the category of 'citizenship rights'. Exactly how are they distinguished from human rights? This volume presents some of the most important reflections and studies on citizenship rights, both past and present. The contributions provide both thorough description and incisive analysis and place the question of citizenship rights into a wider historical, social and political perspective. As such, it offers a timely introduction to the current debates surrounding the rights and duties of both citizens and non-citizens alike, with a focus on thTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: what do we talk about when we talk about citizenship rights?, Jo Shaw and Igor Å tiks; Part I What Are Citizenship Rights (and Duties)?: Propositions on citizenship, Étienne Balibar; Citizenship and social class, 40 years on, Tom Bottomore; Rights, relationality, and membership: rethinking the making and meaning of citizenship, Margaret R.

Book SynopsisMarking the 20th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), this volume of the ANNALS considers conceptual, legal, and practical issues related to the realization of children as citizens. The treatment of children is of vital interest to all who seek stronger democracy, especially in aging societies that will necessarily become increasingly dependent on the young. At what age should children be allowed to vote? How are demographic changes taking place in American society relevant to advancing the rights platform for children? What lessons are there to learn from societies that have secured a legal framework for children's rights, such as in Brazil? How are democracy and citizenship strengthened by extending citizenship to children? Using the CRC as a starting point on the path of achieving functional citizenship for children, the distinguished contributors provide examples of empirical research on chilTable of ContentsCHILDREN: FROM RIGHTS TO CITIZENSHIP - Felton Earls A HISTORICAL CONTEXT FOR THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD - Paula S.
