Taylor & Francis Ltd Setting the Agenda for Global Peace Conflict and
Book SynopsisAnna Snyder provides a detailed account of the challenges women representatives in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) faced in building bridges across diverse ethnic, racial, national, regional, and ideological backgrounds at the 4th United Nations (UN) Conference on Women. This book traces the process by which women's peace groups set an agenda for global policies in the area of women and armed conflict. Setting the Agenda for Global Peace shows how NGOs use conflict to develop transnational social movements and to build consensus around issues of global concern. Using this conference as a case study, Snyder finds three purposes for social movement conflict: contention arising from policy development; deep-rooted historical conflict; and conflicts over NGO network priorities. Drawing together feminist, conflict resolution, and social movement theories, this comprehensive text analyzes the large scale decision making processes for NGOs and points towards future directions for conflict resolution and consensus building.Trade Review'This book provides a fascinating account and analysis of what happens when women across the world try to develop policies to advance peace. Anna Snyder honestly faces the difficult realities of using consensual processes to forge agreements among women in diverse non-governmental organizations with unequal power and whose members differ in culture and historical experiences. Most significantly, with enlightening specificity, she presents effective ways to deal constructively with the inevitable conflicts that arise in these increasingly important efforts.' Louis Kriesberg, Maxwell Professor Emeritus of Social Conflict Studies, Syracuse University, USA 'Setting the Agenda for Global Peace explores one of the most important problems faced by those organizing for social change: How do groups overcome their many differences in order to mobilize unified movements for social justice? Anna Snyder's rich accounts help illuminate the ways that activists expressed their conflicts in the course of organizing around the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, and her analysis integrates theory and research on conflict resolution to assess the relationships between conflicts and coalition building. In the process, she presents a detailed and insightful look at some of the social processes that are subsumed under the amorphous label of "globalization." This book is essential reading for students and scholars of all social movements and conflicts (not just transnational ones) and for practitioners seeking to build coalitions across class, culture, race, and other differences.' Professor Jackie Smith, State University New York, Stony Brook, USA 'This lively and creative ethnography follows activists from three regions as they participate in the development of a global women's peace movement. The analysis highlights moments when individual agency and the strategic efforts of activists are effective, but also illuminates how structural inequalities can undermine coTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Stories from transnational peacemakers: an introduction to the organizations; Coalition consensus building: an experiment in transnational decision making; Peacemakers in conflict; challenges to the dominant agenda; Transnational activist conflict resolution: dialogue for deep-rooted conflict; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Capital and Democratisation Roots of Trust
Book SynopsisContributing an impressive historical basis for path dependency analysis and the role of social capital in newly established democracies, this book offers a fascinating and ground-breaking analysis of the role of social capital in the democratic context of Eastern Europe. Focusing on Poland and Ukraine, this book fills the literature gaps for integrated empirical and theoretical research with respect to post-Communist democratization, social capital vs. democratization theory, and the case study area of Central and Eastern Europe. Suitable for students from graduate level upwards in Central and Eastern European studies, political theory and history.Trade Review'This book can be highly recommended to all those interested in understanding the deeper roots of the transformation process in Central and Eastern European countries. It is an excellent study of the interplay between the often neglected historical factors and contemporary political and economic developments. Additionally, its regional perspective reveals the previously unexplored complexity of the patches of development of social capital in the countries of the region.' Dr Tomasz Zarycki, Warsaw University, Poland 'This book represents a thought-provoking combination of original theoretical ideas, and a wealth of data on various aspects of the post-Communist political evolution in Poland and the Ukraine. Through an in-depth analysis of two cities, the authors are able to draw an unusually nuanced and multi-faceted picture of the democratization process.' Professor Christer Jönsson, Lund University, Sweden 'All historians of the region know that the fates of Poland and Ukraine have been closely tied over a millennium. Since 1991, for the first time in centuries, these two nations are living side by side as good neighbours and each in its own way is trying to build a post-Communist, democratic and pluralistic society. This is a remarkable study of two nations in their post-Communist eras - we need such works to allow a deeper understanding of a region well into its second decade on a new and uncharted path. This work is not only essential reading for social and political scientists, students of current affairs, and all those engaged in relations with Poland and Ukraine...it deserves to be read also by all those who want to get a deeper insight into two societies with so much of a common past and yet so very different.' Professor Roman Szporluk, Harvard University, USA 'The authors' in-depth analyses of trust at the local and national levels provide an important contribution to the existing literature on democratic consolidation, particularly for states where tTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Social capital and post-communist democratization: a dynamic case study approach.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Thomas Hobbes International Library of Essays in
Book SynopsisThe aim of this collection is twofold: on the one hand, it brings together the most significant and influential articles on Hobbes that have been published in the twentieth century; on the other hand, it aims at capturing the trend of fragmentation of Hobbes studies offering a taste of early epic interpretations that engaged with the whole of Hobbes's theory, and a taste of later works interested in capturing more limited narratives and at recounting parallel stories that seem to be running through Hobbes's works. The introduction offers a compass to orient the reader's journey through the collection.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Hobbes's System of Natural and Political Science: Introduction to Leviathan, Michael Oakeshott; On the spirit of Hobbes's political philosophy, Leo Strauss; Philosophy and politics in Hobbes, J.W.N.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Redefining William III The Impact of the
Book SynopsisWilliam III (1650-1702) was Stadholder in the United Provinces and King of England, Scotland and Ireland. His reign has always intrigued historians, as it encompassed such defining events as the Dutch year of Disaster (1672), the Glorious Revolution (1688) and the ensuing wars against France. Although William has played a pivotal role in the political and religious history of his countries, the significance and international impact of his reign is still not very well understood. This volume contains a number of innovative essays from specialists in the field, which have evolved from papers delivered to an international conference held at the University of Utrecht in December 2002. By focusing on the entire period 1650-1702 from an international perspective, the volume moves historical discussion away from the traditional analysis of single events to encompass William''s entire reign from a variety of political, religious, intellectual and cultural positions. In so doing it offers a neTrade Review’Redefining William III helpfully collects in one volume much of the recent research on William's reign. Importantly, it provides Anglophone historians with a very welcome introduction to Dutch, French and German work on William and gives a rounded picture of William's international links, interests, and influences.’ Parliamentary HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1: The King-Stadholder; 1: William III as Stadholder: Prince or Minister?; 2: William III and the Three Kingdoms; 3: Ireland's Role in the Foreign Policy of William III *; 4: The Dual Monarchy in Practice: Anglo-Dutch Alliance and War in the Spanish Netherlands 1689–1697; 5: The Partition Treaties, 1698–1700: A European View; 2: Justification; 6: William III and the Reformed Church of the Netherlands; 7: Protestantism, Universal Monarchy and Christendom in William's War Propaganda, 1689–1697; 8: In Defence of William III: Eric Walten and the Justification of the Glorious Revolution; 3: Opposition; 9: Cromwell Redivivus?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Living Without Domination The Possibility of an Anarchist Utopia Ashgate New Critical Thinking In Philosophy
Book SynopsisLiving Without Domination defends the bold claim that humans can organise themselves to live peacefully and prosperously together in an anarchist utopia. Clark refutes errors about what anarchism is, about utopianism, and about human sociability and its history. He then develops an analysis of natural human social activity which places anarchy in the real landscape of sociability, along with more familiar possibilities including states and slavery. The book is distinctive in bringing the rigour of analytic political philosophy to anarchism, which is all too often dismissed out of hand or skated over in popular history.Table of ContentsContents: Preface; Introduction; Primitivism; The human landscape; Living with domination; Living without domination; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.
