Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The volume attempts to contextualise emerging trends of Indian diplomacy toward its immediate and extended neighbourhood by focusing on bilateral diplomatic perception and counter perception and leveraging new frontiers of diplomacy in cricket, culture and AI. The volume demonstrates neighbourhood as a space of linkage-based management of commons. It argues that India's neighbourhood diplomacy since 2014 is marked by an eagerness to mend fences with immediate neighbours and to build strategic partnerships with far away extra regional powers redefined as distant neighbours epitomized in Neighbourhood First policy. In the neighbourhood dynamics of the post-2014 period, India's position has become mature, futuristic and innovative, celebrating the ancient Indian philosophy of oneness with the outside world (diplomacy) and oneness with self (atmnanirbhar/self-reliant), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - La cultura impresa jugó un papel esencial en la disputa ideológica que dominó la mayor parte del siglo XX. En la posguerra, entre 1944 y 1958, durante la primera etapa de la Guerra Fría, el Instituto de Intercambio Cultural Mexicano-Ruso sostuvo en México un proyecto prosoviético que tomó forma, sobre todo, en dos revistas: Cultura Soviética (1944-1954) e Intercambio Cultural (1955-1958). Este libro sitúa ese proyecto en su contexto histórico, cultural y político, y propone una lectura de las revistas como productos editoriales complejos donde textos e imágenes, forma y contenido, se organizan para producir sentido y conformar un discurso. A partir del análisis de estas publicaciones -del diseño, las portadas, los contenidos, las diversas secciones y sus colaboradores-, esta investigación muestra cómo se compuso una imagen de la Unión Soviética para el público mexicano y latinoamericano: cómo se elaboró un repertorio de ideas e imágenes -paz, modernización, ciencia, cultura y artes- orientado a legitimar ese modelo y a traducir el estalinismo a un lenguaje local. Además, el trabajo de análisis e investigación se complementa con el de recopilación y exposición de datos: en los apéndices se recogen los índices completos de Cultura Soviética e Intercambio Cultural.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Este trabajo, editado en dos volúmenes, propone una reversión de las nociones modernas de etnografía y antropología como parte de un proyecto especulativo centrado en los ámbitos periféricos del planeta. Y, en ese sentido, aunque no lo parezca, es también un trabajo etnográfico/antropológico sobre el colonialismo. En primer lugar, sobre la dimensión del colonialismo que podríamos indicar como clásico, es decir, del colonialismo ligado a la modernidad filosófica, aunque desde una perspectiva que indicaremos como revertida. Pero también es un trabajo ligado al nuevo régimen climático que, desde un punto de vistäperiférico, es un operador colonial formidable. Este trabajo, en definitiva, es el resultado de veinte años de una labor etnográfica/antropológica en diferentes chantiers europeos. En este sentido, los etnógrafos/antropólogos europeos se atribuyeron el privilegio de la etnografía/antropología como aplicada a los llamados pueblos originarios, que en la actualidad ya no existen en sentido antropológico clásico, aunque sí bajo las trazas y ruinas del colonialismo. ¿Por qué no entonces revertir esta tendencia y pensar que la mejor manera de afrontar el colonialismo -en su doble impronta actual-¿desde la periferia era realizar un trabajo de campo entre los europeos.…

For Schuman, European integration was a moral and political project oriented towards the common good, rooted in solidarity, responsibility and dialogue.Drawing on her doctoral research, the author compares three contemporary initiatives in intercultural dialogue to assess how personal encounters can generate trust, awareness and civic engagement beyond national borders. Combining philosophy, political science and sociology with empirical research, she proposes a generative model of Europeanisation grounded in intercultural dialogue.At a time of polarisation and uncertainty, this book offers both a renewed reading of Schuman's vision and a practical pathway for building transnational communities in the 21st century. 234 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -George A. Gonzalez demonstrates that Georg Hegel (1770-1831) is the philosopher of the Enlightenment and of science. Analytic philosophers consider themselves philosophers of science. Gonzalez shows that Hegel philosophically grounds the Enlightenment, whereas the 'science' of analytic philosophers (scientism) results in the anti-Enlightenment (genetic political reasoning). Karl Marx (1818-1883) placed class conflict at the center of the Enlightenment. The series Andor (2022-) brings class politics/repression to the Star Wars franchise. Hegel, Marx, and Star Trek are about the science of justice. 118 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited anthology sheds light on the diverse challenges faced by educational systems in different parts of the world, offering transnational insights into crucial issues such as minority rights, inclusion, and diversity.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a scholarly investigation of multiple temporalities in Irish cultural life. It brings together fifteen essays written by historians, visual art and literary and cultural critics, the purpose of which is to stimulate forms of reading and approaches that are more accommodating both to Ireland's colonial history and to a contemporary present dominated, among other issues, by immigration, economic precariousness, and the spectre of racism. Upsetting teleological chronology, the contributions in this book explore through a variety of prisms the ways in which the geological and colonial past, the unstable present and an uncertain future fold into each other in Irish arts, culture and society, thus enabling new vistas and innovative reappraisals to come to the fore. A wide-ranging, rich volume that examines the way in which the past continues to exert force on the present in Irish culture, from the representation of racial and ethnic minorities in Irish film to narrations of trauma in contemporary literature from across the island. Foregrounding the work of both established and up-and-coming scholars, The Presence of the Past offers insight into knotty questions concerning time, memory, history and trauma in Ireland.' - Dr. Oona Frawley is Associate Professor at Maynooth University 302 pp. Englisch.…

Although these referendums did not result in the creation of new states, they represented the most concrete attempts toward secession. Using process-tracing and semi-structured in-depth interviews with political elites and activists, this comparative study examines the political strategies of the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and the Scottish National Party (SNP), the mainstream nationalist parties in their respective contexts. It seeks to address the puzzle of how these two parties, positioned at the relatively moderate end of the spectrum of stateless nationalist parties, moved beyond the discourse of secessionism to take concrete steps toward independence through referendums. Challenging traditional structuralist approaches, it highlights the interplay between leadership agency and institutional contexts at critical junctures, framing secessionism as a heterogeneous and dynamic phenomenon.; Dissertationsschrift 302 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book reveals how the Latin American media scene-encompassing film, television, streaming, news, and advertising-conceals a powerful whiteness that still holds influence across the region. Bringing together scholars from eight countries, the volume combines whiteness studies, critical race theory, and media analysis, to trace the colonial roots of mestizaje, decode colorism's visual language, and show how screen stories-from Mexico's Golden Age cinema to Netflix telenovelas-favor light skin as a symbol of modernity while portraying Afro-descendant and Native identities as marginalized. Case studies analyze award-winning films, news, reality TV, and children's ads, while also highlighting counter-hegemonic voices. Overall, the chapters argue that whiteness acts as the invisible operating system of Latin American media despite white ethnicity not being dominant in the region; and the book reveals how this idea shapes the media landscape and, ultimately, society itself. 300 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book offers an analytical examination of Asia and the Pacific, a region that, in the opinion of many observers, will engage the world's attention in the twenty-first century. This shift is largely determined by the process of movement from the Euro-Atlantic hemisphere to Asia, the geopolitical and economic gravity of the World. At the center of the author's scientific research are strategic, political, and economic cooperation, which is the driving force of the development dynamics of the entire region from the end of Cold War 1.0 to the beginning of Cold War 2.0. The scope and direction of this cooperation, as well as the major players participating in it, have contributed to the overall result, which places the region at the forefront in terms of its share of global GDP. This book is an updated version of a monograph published in 2022. The decision to publish it in English is guided by the conviction that the language, as a contemporary lingua franca, will make the work accessible to a wider group of readers, including decision-makers responsible for shaping the paradigms of politics in the Asia-Pacific field, as well as researchers and students of international studies. 640 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The monetary dimension has persistently driven the European project: first steering leaders toward deeper integration with the creation of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the single currency, then revealing the EMU's own structural flaws during the Eurozone crisis, and, ultimately, consolidating the European Central Bank (ECB) role as a central actor in managing crises and safeguarding economic stability in the European Union. In this context, this book examines the political and economic factors that led to the creation of the EMU by tracing the historical foundations of the Euro and the ECB. It then explores how the ECB's responses to successive crises have served as catalysts for deeper economic governance and institutional adaptation. These multiple crises have also contributed to the gradual expansion of the ECB's discretionary powers, calling for renewed reflection on the limits of this unique, supposedly technocratic institution. 188 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is a focused and in-depth investigation of the pneumatology of Matthew's Gospel. It applies a narrative-critical approach to explore how Matthew uses the Spirit in his story of Jesus. Chapters focus on literary sources for Matthew's pneumatology, the theoretical framework of narrative criticism, and exegesis of pericopae fundamental for interpreting Matthew's pneumatology. This study fills a significant lacuna in Matthean scholarship and offers insights that can offer fresh perspectives on other New Testament pneumatologies (particularly those of Mark, Luke-Acts, John, and Paul). It will appeal primarily to those with a professional scholarly interest in the Gospel of Matthew and the New Testament in general, those interested in pneumatology and the Trinity (whether in systematic theology or biblical studies), and those engaged in literary approaches to the Bible. 216 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Too much is everywhere. It's a Netflix series. It's a meme. It's a song by Dove Cameron. If I'm too much, the story goes, go find less. Women everywhere are talking back to a cultural norm that would have them shrink, whisper, stifle their feelings, and hide. They are saying no to patriarchy's claims that they are too much.In this book, Robillard theorizes the ideological content and effects of the label 'too much,' used so often when a female-identifying person challenges gender norms set out for her. In a patriarchy, women are regularly punished for being too much-for asking too much, for wanting too much, for using too much language. Women think too much, they read too much, they talk too much, they write too much. Women feel too much. Indeed, there is too much joy, excitement, anger, pain, sadness, anxiety, and those around us do not know what to do with it. Keep it in, they want to-or do-say to us. Robillard foregrounds the experiences of professional women who tell their stories about being labeled too much, their responses to being labeled too much, and the effects of being labeled too much. 104 pp. Englisch.…
