Fortress Europe?: Challenges and Failures of Migration and Asylum Policies
ISBN: 9783658170103 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Europe seems to be neither willing nor capable to cope with the influx of refugees coming from MENA and Sub-Saharan countries. In discourse the problem is treated as a humanitarian crisis, in practice, however, refugees are treated primarily as a security problem. Current migration policies, that are a blow to the idea of Europe as a community of values, are starting point of the proposed book which, however, wants to dig deeper. Instead of looking through a European lens, we take a much wider perspective, including the root-causes of migration as well as migration policies within the MENA...

Abortion Pills, Test Tube Babies, and Sex Toys: Emerging Sexual and Reproductive Technologies in the Middle East and North Africa
ISBN: 9780826521286 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Viagra to in vitro fertilization, new technologies are rapidly changing the global face of reproductive health. They are far from neutral: religious, cultural, social, and legal contexts condition their global transfer. The way a society interprets and adopts (or rejects) a new technology reveals a great deal about the relationship between bodies and the body politic. Reproductive health technologies are often particularly controversial because of their potential to reconfigure kinship relationships, sexual mores, gender roles, and the way life is conceptualized. This collection of...

A revelatory account of the cloak-and-dagger Israeli campaign to target the finances fueling terror organizations--an effort that became the blueprint for U.S. efforts to combat threats like ISIS and drug cartels.

The Crime of Nationalism: Britain, Palestine, and Nation-Building on the Fringe of Empire
ISBN: 9780520291485 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Palestinian national movement gestated in the early decades of the twentieth century, but it was born in the Great Revolt of 1936-39, a period of sustained Arab protest against British policy in the Palestine mandate. In The Crime of Nationalism, Matthew Kraig Kelly makes the unique case that the key to understanding the Great Revolt lies in what he calls the crimino-national domain--the overlap between the criminological and the nationalist dimensions of British imperial discourse, and the primary terrain upon which the war of 1936-39 was fought. Kelly's analysis amounts to a new...

The Israeli Path to Neoliberalism: The State, Continuity and Change
ISBN: 9781138721869 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The economic history of Israel is often portrayed as a story of transformation from interventionism/socialism to liberalization and market economy. This narrative is promoted both by liberal economists who praise the market-oriented reforms as well as by social-democrat activists who condemn it as the triumph of capital over labor. This book debunks the from-socialism-to-liberalization narrative. Instead, it argues that the economic history of Israel--its continuity as well as its change--can be explained on the basis of one key causal factor: the state preferences as were shaped by, on...

Democratic Transition and the Rise of Populist Majoritarianism: Constitutional Reform in Greece and Turkey
ISBN: 9783319575551 / Angielski / Twarda / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This comparative study explores the impact of populist majoritarianism on Greek and Turkish democratic transition. Using case studies from Greece and Turkey, the author argues that while majoritarianism is often celebrated as a manifestation of popular sovereignty, it can undermine institutional performance and even stifle the process of democratic consolidation, contributing to a confrontational and inefficient democratic regime in cases of transition states where levels of social capital are low and social polarization is high. It is shown that building up a -mild democracy- requires...
