The Rise of Democracy: Revolution, War and Transformations in International Politics Since 1776
ISBN: 9780748692811 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Little over 200 years ago, a quarter of a century of warfare with an 'outlaw state' brought the great powers of Europe to their knees. That state was the revolutionary democracy of France. Since then, there has been a remarkable transformation in the way democracy is understood and valued - today, it is the non-democractic states that are seen as rogue regimes. Now, Christopher Hobson explores democracy's remarkable rise from obscurity to centre stage in contemporary international relations.

Blake and Homosexuality
ISBN: 9780312234515 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Against the backdrop of Britain's underground 18th and early-19th century homosexual culture, mob persecutions, and executions of homosexuals, Hobson shows how Blake's hatred of sexual and religious hypocrisy and state repression, and his revolutionary social vision, led him gradually to accept homosexuality as an integral part of human sexuality. In the process, Blake rejected the antihomosexual bias of British radical tradition, revised his idealization of aggressive male heterosexuality and his male-centered view of gender, and refined his conception of the cooperative commonwealth.

Japan has been one of the most important international sponsors of human security, yet the concept has hitherto not been considered relevant to the Japanese domestic context.

The book identifies the many different forms of human insecurity that were produced or exacerbated...

Human Security and Natural Disasters
ISBN: 9780415737999 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Human security" is an approach that rejects the traditional prioritization of state security, and instead identifies the individual as the primary referent of security. It offers a way of broadening our perspective, and recognizing that the most pressing threats to individuals do not come from interstate war, but from the emergencies that affect people every day, such as famine, disease, displacement, civil conflict and environmental degradation. Human security is about people living their lives with dignity, being free from "fear" and "want". To date, there has been a strong tendency to...

First published in 1998, this book formed part of an ongoing effort to restore politics and history to the centre of Blake studies.

The collection contains essays with varying methodological assumptions and differing positions...
