Accidental Allies
The US–Syrian Democratic Forces Partnership Against the Islamic State
Michael Knights, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, USA & Wladimir van Wilgenburg The US-led effort to fight the Islamic State in northeastern Syria since 2014 has been as controversial and poorly understood as it has been significant. This book combines general research with interviews gathered in Syria with Kurdish, Arab and Christian SDF officers, as well as interviews with U.S. and French officials and military officers with on-the-ground involvement in the war. It provides an unprecedented window into how the war was really prosecuted, in the eyes of the participants at all levels, uniquely looking not only at how US soldiers view their partner forces, but how the local partners view them in return.

Leadership, Nation-building and War in South Sudan
The Problems of Identity, Statehood and Collective Will
Sonja Theron, African Leadership Centre, King’s College London, UK Spanning South Sudan’s nation-building struggle from its inception up until the current civil war, this book challenges the notion that the continued violence of this process can be reduced to either identity difference or the fault of individual leaders. Rather, it uses the leadership process to understand the complex progressions and relationships that have characterised South Sudan’s nationbuilding trajectory. Sonja Theron argues that the core driving force behind the current conflict in South Sudan can be found in a set of destructive relationships in the leadership of the country that have fueled violence and oppression for the better part of a century.

The EOKA Cause
Nationalism and the Failure of Cypriot Enosis
Andrew R. Novo, The National Defense University, Washington, USA This study explores the origins, conduct, and failure of Greek Cypriot nationalists to achieve the unification of Cyprus with Greece. Andrew R. Novo addresses the anti-colonial struggle in the context of: the competition for the nationalist narrative in Cyprus between the Left and Right, the duelling Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot nationalisms, the role of Turkey and Greece in the conflict, and the concerns of the British Empire during its retrenchment following the Second World War. This book argues that the strategic myopia of the enosis movement shackled the cause, defined its conduct, and was the primary reason for its failure.

This is Only the Beginning
The Making of a New Left, From AntiAusterity to the Fall of Corbyn

Blackness at the Intersection
Intersectionality and the Black Diaspora
Edited by Kehinde Andrews, University of Birmingham, UK, Kimberlé Crenshaw, UCLA School of Law and Columbia Law School, USA & Annabel Wilson
In the 1980s, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw first coined the term ‘intersectionality’. Since then, the concept has spread across national and disciplinary boundaries, and has had a transformative impact on the way in which we understand identity and the experience of discrimination. Curated by Crenshaw and featuring several of the leading scholars of Critical Race Theory, this collection is the first to apply the concept of intersectionality and Blackness to contexts outside the US. Focusing on Blackness in Britain, the contributors examine how scholars and activists are employing intersectionality to foreground Black British experiences. Its essays encompass key issues such as gender and Black womanhood, issues of representation within contemporary British culture, and the position of Black Britons within institutions such as the family, education and health.

Black Power and the American People
The Cultural Legacy of Black Radicalism
Rafael Torrubia, University of St Andrews, UK Black Power was one of the key political struggles of the American 20th Century. Its cultural legacy and political thought has echoed through the decades - including recent Black Lives Matter protests.

The Politics of Everybody
Feminism, Queer Theory, and Marxism at the Intersection: A Revised Edition
Holly Lewis, Texas State University, USA The Politics of Everybody examines the production and maintenance of the terms 'man', 'woman', and 'other' within the current political moment; the contradictions of these categories; and the prospects of a Marxist approach to praxis for queer bodies. In a new preface, Lewis discusses the argument for an explicitly Marxist understanding of trans rights - an understanding grounded in solidarity and materialist/scientific queer analysis. She discusses the new wave of Marxist Social Reproduction Theory that has emerged since the first edition, family abolition, and the complexities of building an internationalist Marxist movement that is in solidarity with queer and trans struggles, attentive to women’s realities, and one that refrains from imposing Western definitions (particularly American/ Anglo definitions) onto global movements for liberation.

Housing as Commons
Housing Alternatives as Response to the Current Urban Crisis
Edited by Stavros Stavrides, National Technical University of Athens, Greece & Penny Travlou, University of Edinburgh, UK Connecting to a rich literature on the importance of commons and of practices of commoning for the creation of emancipated societies, Housing as Commons discusses whether housing struggles and co-habitation experiences may contribute in crucial ways to the development of a commoning culture. The book explores a variety of urban contexts - including Mumbai, former Yugoslavia, Athens and Australia - in search for concrete examples that illustrate the potentialities of urban commoning.

Liminal Commons
Modern Rituals of Transition in Greece
Angelos Varvarousis, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain This book is the first attempt to rethink and appraise the role of temporary commoning experiences that develop in contexts of crisis. Activist and urban planner, Angelos Varvarousis, argues that there is a certain type of commons – the liminal commons – which despite their often short lives play a crucial function in contemporary societies; they demarcate and facilitate transitions at the individual, collective and ultimately the societal level. Through an intense exploration of grassroots projects the author observes that humans still invent such collectively performed rituals in order to prepare, symbolize and practically explore the possibility of transformation and transition.

Between Fault Lines and Front Lines
Shifting Power in an Unequal World
Edited by Katja Hujo, UNRISD & Maggie Carter, UNRISD This book explores the roles of elites and institutions of power in the deepening of social and economic cleavages across the globe, by asking how inequalities have reshaped structures from the local to the transnational level, and what consequences they have wrought. In addition, the contributors present examples of peaceful processes of policy change that have made societies greener and more socially just, levelled out social stratification, and devolved power and resources from elites to nonelites, or towards marginalized or discriminated groups. Based on cutting-edge empirical research, the chapters in this volume bring together conceptual thinking and a number of case studies from the Global North and South, combining different levels of analysis and a range of qualitative research methods.

Marine Resources, Climate Change and International Management Regimes
Edited by Olav Schram Stokke, Andreas Østhagen, Fridtjof Nansen Institute, Norway & Andreas Raspotnik, The Arctic Institute, Norway When changes in the oceans impact fisheries, can states handle the management of these changes amongst themselves, or are they locked in patterns and mechanisms that prove inflexible and inefficient in dealing with rapid external environmental changes? This open access volume explores how international institutions and regimes set up to manage marine resources – predominantly fisheries – are adapting to the effects of climate change and the related consequences for the geographic distribution of these resources.
