Richard Herring's Objective: Complete Series 2

The second series of Richard Herring's Objective pokes and prods a variety of controversial objects and see if the controversy falls out. Through vox pops, interviews and stand-up comedy, Richard examines the objects' history, meaning and significance and challenges our assumed logic and stereotypes. Can we reclaim these objects away from their unfortunate associations? In these four episodes, he trains his beady eye on 'The Golliwog', 'The Wheelchair', 'Page...

Right Turn

Right Turn

It wasn’t so much a big blue machine that chugged its way across Ontario’s political landscape in the spring of 1995 – it was more a big purple bulldozer driven by leader Mike Harris and a new breed of Tories. Gone were the pinstripes and the cigar-chomping backroom boys of the forty-two years of Tory rule. These Tories were young, hip, and they were riding the wave of their Common Sense Revolution, a platform launched a year earlier. Still, there were only a few who thought the PCs stood a...

Roma Activism

Exploring contemporary debates and developments in Roma-related research and forms of activism, this volume argues for taking up reflexivity as practice in these fields, and advocates a necessary renewal of research sites, methods, and epistemologies. The contributors gathered here – whose professional trajectories often lie at the confluence between activism, academia, and policy or development interventions – are exceptionally well placed to reflect on mainstream practices in all these fields,...

Romania’s Strategic Culture 1990–2014

Analysis of strategic culture facilitates a comprehensive understanding of a nation’s security identity and patterns of policy conduct. Though strategic culture changes over time, why and how these mutations take place has not been researched much so far. This book sheds light on the reasons why specific features of a country’s strategic thinking remain rigid while others transform. The national strategic cultures of post-communist Eastern Europe have been exposed to a panoply of shocks and...

Wie entwickelt sich ein Land nach einem Völkermord? Wie leben Täter und Opfer zusammen? Welche Wahrheit bildet das Fundament des Zusammenlebens? Und welcher Gebrauch wird von dieser Wahrheit nach innen bzw. nach außen gemacht? Mit welchem Erfolg? Über fast fünfzehn Jahre hinweg hat Gerd Hankel Ruanda und dessen Nachbarland, die Demokratische Republik Kongo, immer wieder besucht und dabei Antworten auf all diese Fragen gesucht. Das Bild, das er zeichnet, ist ernüchternd. Der Völkermord ist zu...

Ruling the Void

Ruling the Void

Chilling account ofthe end of party democracy, by the leading political scientist In the long-established democracies of Western Europe, electoral turnouts are in decline, membership is shrinking in the major parties, and those who remain loyal partisans are sapped of enthusiasm. Peter Mair's new book weighs the impact of these changes, which together show that, after a century of democratic aspiration, electorates are deserting the political arena. Mair examines the alarming parallel...

Russia and the Long Transition from Capitalism to Socialism

Out of early twentieth-century Russia came the world’s first significant effort to build a modern revolutionary society. According to Marxist economist Samir Amin, the great upheaval that once produced the Soviet Union has also produced a movement away from capitalism – a long transition that continues even today. In seven concise, provocative chapters, Amin deftly examines the trajectory of Russian capitalism, the Bolshevik Revolution, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the...

Russia's Recognition of the Independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia

The Russian Federation’s official acknowledgement of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in August 2008 has since been undermining both overall political stability in the Southern Caucasus in general and future perspectives of Georgia’s development in particular. Such recognition of new quasi-legal entities without consent of the parent state and a subsequent erosion of the principle of territorial integrity are pressing challenges in current world affairs. The Kremlin’s controversial...

No one, that is, except for Eric Grant. Eric, a young man with abusive parents and a haunting past, reflects back on how he and Sam met and how his actions led to his mentor’s untimely death.

Schöne Grüße aus dem Orbán-Land

„Viel Feind, viel Ehr“, scheint derzeit die Devisedes nationalkonservativen Ministerpräsidenten Ungarns, Viktor Orbán, zu sein. Ohne Rücksicht auf Proteste im eigenen Land, ohne Rücksicht auf die massiven Bedenken der EU, des Europarates, der USA und zahlreicher Menschenrechtsorganisationen setzt der 50-jährige Ungar seine rechte Revolution im Land fort, ganz nach seinen persönlichen Vorstellungen und manövriert damit sein Land in die Isolation. Demokratische Institutionen oder Kontrollinstanzen...

Following in the tradition of Sir Francis Bacon, he is one of the first British empiricists, which emphasizes the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas.

Contained here in this volume is one of his most influential...

Set the Night on Fire

Set the Night on Fire

Histories of the US sixties invariably focus on New York City, but Los Angeles was an epicenter of that decade’s political and social earthquake. L.A. was a launchpad for Black Power—where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation—and home to the Chicano walkouts and Moratorium, as well as birthplace of ‘Asian America’ as a political identity, base of the antiwar movement, and of course, centre of California counterculture. Mike Davis and Jon...

Shaping a different Europe

Englische Sprachausgabe des Titels «Für ein anderes Europa» (ISBN 978-3-80152-7002-5): In the face of the «euro crisis» the question arises: how does the European Union look in terms of the fundamental values and goals of the political left – democracy, self-determination, freedom and prosperity for as many people as possible? Is the EU an emancipatory instrument for the citizens of Europe? Or is it an agent of their creeping disenfranchisement? Do we need more Europe – or less? Is the EU...

Shutting Down the Streets

Shutting Down the Streets

Recently, a wall was built in eastern Germany. Made of steel and cement blocks, topped with razor barbed wire, and reinforced with video monitors and movement sensors, this wall was not put up to protect a prison or a military base, but rather to guard a three-day meeting of the finance ministers of the Group of Eight (G8). The wall manifested a level of security that is increasingly commonplace at meetings regarding the global economy. The authors of Shutting Down the Streets have directly...

Sinews of War and Trade

On the map of global trade, China is now the factory of the world. A parade of ships full of raw commodities—iron ore, coal, oil—arrive in its ports, and fleets of container ships leave with manufactured goods in all directions. The oil that fuels China’s manufacturing comes primarily from the Arabian peninsula. Much of the material shipped from China are transported through the ports of Arabian peninsula, Dubai’s Jabal Ali port foremost among them. China’s ‘maritime silk road’ flanks the...

Tourismus ist Share Economy. Die Autoren betrachten die Beziehungen der Share Economy zu der Tourismuswirtschaft. Sie zeigen, wie viele selbstverständliche Formen des Teilens und Tauschens im Tourismus allgegenwärtig sind: Car Sharing, Couchsurfing, Leihfahrräder, Hand gegen Koje im Segeltourismus, Reiseblogs und Twitter als Meinungstausch, geteilte Stimmungen und Emotionen und sogar Trauerreisen als „geteiltes Leid“ werden von Prof. Dr. Axel Dreyer und Dr. Martin Linne beschreiben.
