The Discourse of Neoliberalism: An Anatomy of a Powerful Idea
ISBN: 9781783486519 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why should we be worried about neoliberalism if we are not able to fully appreciate its deleterious effects? How can we fully appreciate its intricacies and power without attending to and seeking to potentially reconcile the various critical theorizations of how it actually operates?

Karl Haushofer, a Bavarian general and professor, is widely recognized as the "father of geopolitics."

The Middle East, Oil, and the U.S. National Security Policy: Intractable Conflicts, Impossible Solutions
ISBN: 9781442261969 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Three interrelated subject areas are at the heart of the current foreign and national security dilemma. One is the Middle East, which has been the epicenter of most U.S. policy activity for over a third of a century. The second is energy policy, particularly as it is affected by the development and exploitation of shale oil and gas reserves in the United States. This is linked to the Middle East because it has been American dependence on Middle East petroleum that has created the interest the U.S. has in this region. The third area is military manpower policy and two simultaneous wars in the...

Yemen and the Search for Stability: Power, Politics and Society After the Arab Spring
ISBN: 9781784534653 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Yemen in the twenty-first century is a country which is enormously unstable. With the former president Ali Abdullah Salih signing over power in the aftermath of eleven months of protest in November 2011, there were hopes that this would signal the beginning of a new period of transition. But with the resurgence of Huthi rebel groups in early 2015, it is apparent that instability will continue to plague the country. Building the New Yemen focuses on how a variety of political, social and cultural actors (such as Muslim Brothers, Salafis, Huthis, secessionists, women, youth and Islamic...

At the Edges of Citizenship: Security and the Constitution of Non-Citizen Subjects
ISBN: 9781472430366 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Proposing a new, dynamic conception of citizenship, this book argues against understandings of citizenship as a collection of rights that can be either possessed or endowed, and demonstrates it is an emergent condition that has temporal and spatial dimensions. Furthermore, citizenship is shown to be continually and contingently reconstituted through the struggles between those considered insiders and outsiders. Significantly, these struggles do not result in a clear division between citizens and non-citizens, but in a multiplicity of states that are at once included within and excluded from...

Peace Without Money, War Without Americans: Can European Strategy Cope?
ISBN: 9781472442888 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Britain and France were surprised at having to convince the US of the need to intervene in Libya in 2011. The French intervention in Mali in 2013 confirmed the picture; Washington will support European action, but only if and when Europe takes the initiative. Just as the focus of American strategy is shifting to Asia and the Pacific, vital interests in the European neighbourhood require resolute action. Autonomy is being forced upon Europe, but it is an autonomy constrained by a lack of means as, following the financial crisis, defence budgets across the EU member states are slashed. The...

Il Duce's Explorer - The Adventures of Giuseppe Tucci and Italian Policy in the Orient from Mussolini to Andreotti. with the Correspondence of Giulio Andreotti.
ISBN: 9788890022685 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One could hardly imagine a richer and more exciting life than that of Giuseppe Tucci (1894--1984), a scholar who may rightly be considered one of the fathers of modern Oriental Studies and the central protagonist of Fascist cultural policy in Asia. From his first expeditions from the Himalayas to the Ganges, to his encounters with leaders such as Gandhi, Tagore, the Dalai Lama, Subhas Chandra Bose, to his role as Mussolini's spokesman in India and Japan-Tucci's is a human adventure tied inextricably to the history of modern Italy, which he himself helped to forge. An adventure retraced in the...

Choreographies of Resistance: Mobile Bodies and Relational Politics
ISBN: 9781783486731 / Angielski / Miękka / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Choreographies of Resistance examines bodies and their capacity for obstructive and resistant action in places and spaces where we do not expect to see it. Drawing on empirical research that considers cases on asylum seekers, beggars, undocumented migrants and migrant nurses, the book attests to the scope and diversity of corporeal resistance in the realm of politics. It is shown that bodies that are not assumed to have political agency can obstruct and resist the smooth functioning of disciplinary practices that nowadays form the core of migration policies. It is argued that the body is more...
