Gender and Emotional Labour in Asia ASAA Women in Asia Series
Ann Brooks, University of Adelaide, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56389-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The concept of emotional labour has largely emerged from the analysis of organizations in the West. However, little has been written about the issue of what defines emotional labour and how it is configured in different cultural contexts. This book addresses this gap in the literature and considers how and in what ways emotional labour characterises formal and informal work environments in Southeast Asia. It argues that despite official notification of several international statutes on gender equity and human rights, major barriers continue to restrict women’s rights and behaviour in the workplace in Asia. Some of the key themes that the chapters focus on are – caregiving, parenting and emotional labour in Southeast Asia; the impact of the new economy, organizational constraints, and its impact on professional women in Asia; the impact of the ‘feminization of migration’ in servicing high-end economic migrants in Southeast Asia; human rights issues in the context of female migrant labour in Southeast Asia; and men, masculinity and emotional labour.

Gender Diversity in Indonesia ASAA Women in Asia Series
Sharyn Graham Davies, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 262pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-37569-6; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Indonesia provides particularly interesting examples of gender diversity. Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia, and with the world’s largest Muslim population, it examines Islam in this context. Based on extensive ethnographic research, it discusses in particular calalai – female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man; calabai – male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman; and bissu – an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals. The book analyses the place of such subjectivities in relation to theories of gender, gender diversity and sexuality. CONTENTS 1. Framing Place and Process 2. Contextualizing Gender 3. Queer(y)ing Transgender 4. Gendering the Present Past 5. Gendering Life 6. Calalai Subject Positions 7. Calabai Subject Positions 8. Bissu Subject Positions
Practising Feminism in South Korea ASAA Women in Asia Series
Kyungja Jung, University of Technology Sydney, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56727-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Korean women’s movement, which is widely seen, in both Western and non-Western countries, as exemplary in terms of women’s activism, experienced a dramatic change in its direction and strategy in the early 1990s, a typical example of the new approach being an increasing focus on sexual violence issues. The anti-sexual violence movement has had a huge impact in bringing women’s issues on to the public agenda in Korea, and has been claimed as the heart of the women’s movement in Korea. This book examines feminist practice in Korea, focusing on and analysing the experiences of the first Sexual Assault Centre in Korea. Based on
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
2 extensive original research, including interviews with activists and extensive participant observation, it explores why feminist activists in South Korea have organized vigorous activities on sexual violence, what has been the impact of the movement, and what have been the strategies and challenges in achieving their objectives. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Theorising Feminist Practice 3. Feminist Methodology 4. Sexual Assault Centres as Sites of Feminist Practice 5.

Women in China's Muslim Northwest ASAA Women in Asia Series
Ayxem Ali, University of Tasmania, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55712-2; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The resurgence of Islam in China’s Northwest Xinjiang province among the Uyghurs, the largest ethnic group in the region, has been noted by numerous scholars. However, how this resurgence of Islam relates to Uyghur ethnic identity and how Uyghur women are responding to government policies and social change are questions that still need to be explored. This book focuses on Kashgar, an ancient city in south-western Xinjiang, bordering Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. It examines how the Kashgar women in different social strata have expressed their ethnic and gendered identities in the context of Islamic traditions, the resurgence of Islam, and the shifting policies of the Chinese government over the last fifty years. It addresses the changing class hierarchies, family planning programmes and the re-veiling of women. The book will appeal to readers from a wide range of disciplines, including scholars of minority and gender studies in China, Central Asia, anthropology, post-socialist studies, and Islamic studies, and to those interested in Chinese political history since the 1950s.
Young Muslim Women in India ASAA Women in Asia Series
Kabita Chakraborty PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56324-6; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The reality for marginalized Muslim girls in the city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) in India is far more complex than the one that is often constructed during discussions that view the lives of Muslim girls through a lens of repression and poverty within the patriarchal Islamic community. Based on extensive, original research, this book portrays a different and an under-represented perspective of young Muslim girls in the bustees (shanty towns) of Kolkata. Through a series of personal narratives, photos and artwork, it demonstrates that in spite of the dominant discourse surrounding their lives, the consumption and behaviour patterns of young women in these bustees challenge the monolithic representations of what it means to be a Muslim girl in Indian society. It explores the ways in which the young Muslim women live, manipulate, and resist the stereotypes of Islamic femininity by carefully negotiating the risks and performing multiple identities inspired by modernity, globalization and, most of all, Bollywood culture.
China's Southern Tang Dynasty, 937–975 Asian States and Empires
Johannes L. Kurz, Universiti Brunei Darussalam PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $160.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45496-4; March 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Southern Tang was one of the great states in China in the tenth century, and although often regarded as one of several states preceding the much better known Song dynasty (960-1279), was in fact the key state in this period, preserving from the former great Tang dynasty (618-907) cultural values and artefacts which were to form the basis of Song rule, and thereby presenting the Song with a direct link to the Tang and it traditions. This book is the first in English to provide a comprehensive overview of the Southern Tang. It demonstrates that the Southern Tang was an independent empire and it discusses the political, social and economic history of this empire. It traces the rise of the first ruler of the Southern Tang, Li Bian, who ruled the state of Wu, showing how he established and consolidated his power, including through the fabrication of a genealogy that linked him to the Tang imperial clan. It goes on to

The book includes full coverage of military history in this period, and also coverage of culture and poetry, including the poetry of Li Yu lamenting the loss of his empire which is widely known and regarded today.

Pre-Modern States on China's North-Eastern Frontier Asian States and Empires
Remco Breuker, Australian National University PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77620-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the pre-modern states on China’s north-eastern frontier during the 10 th , 11 th and 12 th centuries, a crucial formative period in which the shape of the modern Chinese and northeast Eurasian states from Mongolia to Korea was formed. In particular, it focuses on the Liao and Koryo, showing how they were as important as their better understood Han Chinese counterpart to the south -the Northern Song dynasty - in shaping the history of the region. Liao is best known as the initiator of the lineage of northern states which dominated the political history of China for an entire millenium from 900 to 1900. It formulated a model of multi-ethnic empire whose conceptions and systems of socio-political organization were highly influential for a number of polities including the Mongol empire, Manchukuo and the People’s Republic of China. This book argues that the conventional portrait of the Liao as a purely destructive ‘conquering dynasty’ is incomplete, and that its military might was complemented by a strong cultural, intellectual, religious and commercial influence throughout the Korean peninsula and in Central Asia and Eurasia. It describes how the Liao state rose to prominence, not only through military conquest, but also through trade, exchange and export of physical and intellectual goods, not least in the important constructive role it played in the emergence and consolidation of Koryo as the third state of northeast Asia. It looks in detail at the role played by both Liao and Koryo in Northeast and East Asia, demonstrating clearly how they functioned in the international arena and the important part they played in the cycles of consolidation that shaped the course of Asian history.

Counterterrorism Policies in Central Asia Central Asian Studies
Mairya Y. Omelicheva, University of Kansas, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77981-4; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION During the last two decades, Central Asian states have witnessed an intense revival of Islamic faith. Along with its moderate and traditional forms, radical and militant Islam has infiltrated communities of Muslims in Central Asia. This book explores the extensive measures and counterterrorism policies adopted by Central Asian states against radical Islam, and the similarities in the policies of the different states. Applying a comprehensive theoretical framework which integrates different mechanisms of international influences on state behavior, the author explains the Central Asian states’ perceptions of terrorist threat and their counterterrorism responses. By using the reference group theory - a type of social theory that explicates how various social units to which states belong affect their understandings of security threats, as well as their views on the legitimacy and effectiveness of solutions to security problems - the book applies this perspective for an in-depth analysis of counterterrorism policies of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the two Central Asian state that have been least affected by terrorist violence and Islamism but chose to combat those threats vigorously. It also explores the counterterrorism policies of neighboring states – Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Russia, and regional security organizations – Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and Shanghai Cooperation Organizations (SCO).

Ethnicity, Authority and Power in Central Asia Central Asian Studies
Edited by Robert L. Canfield, Washington University, St. Louis, USA and Gabriele Rasuly-Paleczek, University of Vienna, Austria PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-78069-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The peoples of Greater Central Asia – not only Inner Asian states of Soviet Union but also those who share similar heritages in adjacent countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iran, and the Chinese province of Xinjiang – have have been drawn into more direct and immediate contact since the Soviet collapse. Infrastructural improvements, and the race by the great powers for access to the region’s vital natural resources, have allowed these peoples to develop closer ties with each other and the wider world, creating new interdependencies, and fresh opportunities for interaction and the exercise of influence. They are being integrated into a new, wider economic and political region which is increasingly significant in world affairs, owing to its strategically central location, and its complex and uncertain politics. However, most of its inhabitants are pre-eminently concerned with familial and local affairs. This work examines the viewpoints and concerns of a selection of groups in terms of four issues: government repression, ethnic group perspectives, devices of mutual support, and informal grounds of authority and influence. Responding to a need for in-depth studies concerning the social structures and practices in the region, the book examines trends and issues from the point of view of scholars who have lived and worked "on the ground" and have sought to understand the conditions and concerns of people in rural as well as urban settings. It provides a distinctive and timely perspective on this vital part of the world. CONTENTS Part I, Repressions and their Consequences 1. Authoritarianism and Its Consequences in ex-Soviet Central Asia 2. Localism and Identity among the Uyghur of Xinjiang Part II, Ethnic Perceptions and Reactions 3.

Securing the Indian Frontier in Central Asia Central Asian Studies
Sir Martin Ewans, former British Ambassador to the United Nations and Head of Chancery, British Embassy Kabul, Afghanistan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49681-0; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The three decades between 1865 and 1895 marked a particularly contentious period in the relationship between Britain and Russia in Central Asia, which more than once brought them to the verge of war. Moderates tried to settle the problem by the negotiation of ‘neutral zones’, or firm boundaries, but the issue was complicated by misreading of intentions, much internal confusion and dispute, and considerable ignorance of the geographical and geopolitical factors involved. This careful and detailed analysis examines the strategic thinking and diplomatic discourse which underlay the whole period, and in particular of the succession of efforts to establish a frontier, which eventually brought the period to a close without a major confrontation being provoked. Based on relevant records in the PRO and the British Library, as well as private papers, press comment, parliamentary debates and other contemporary accounts, Sir Martin Ewans provides a ‘history of thought' of this crucial period in Central Asia. He provides an insight into the manner in which issues of war and peace were handled in the 19 th Century and a fascinating case study of a great power relationship prior to the First World War. An important contribution to the study of Asian history, Tsarist Russia, imperial history and the history of British India, this book will also be of interest in India and Pakistan as a study of the events that led to the definition and consolidation of their northern frontiers.

Religion and Security in South and Central Asia Central Asia Research Forum
Edited by K. Warikoo, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57590-4; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Religion and security play an important role in traditional societies. In South and Central Asia, traditional and moderate Islamic beliefs and practices with strong indigenous and Sufi content are diametrically opposed to radical Wahabi and Taliban brands of Islam intolerant of other cultures and groups. The emergence of radical extremist and violent Islamist movements poses serious challenge to the secular and democratic polity, pluralistic social order, inter-religious harmony, security and territorial integrity of states in the region. As such, religious extremism, separatism, terrorism, drug trafficking and arms smuggling are viewed by various countries in South and Central Asia and also in the West as the main threats to their security. Against this backdrop, this book provides local perspectives on religion, security, history, geopolitics and geostrategy in South Asia and Central Asia in an integrated manner. Presenting a holistic and updated view of the developments inside and across South and Central Asia, it offers coherent and concise analyses by experts on the region. CONTENTS 1. Introduction K.

The Challenge of Labour in China China Policy Series
Chris King-chi Chan, Hong Kong Polytechnic University PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55703-0; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION China’s economic success has been founded partly on relatively cheap labour, especially in the export industries. In recent years, however, there has been growing concern about wages and labour standards in China. This book examines how wages are bargained, fought over and determined in China, by exploring how the pattern of labour conflict has changed over time since the 1970s. It focuses in particular on the city of Shenzhen where labour conflict and workers’ protests have been especially prevalent. This book includes a detailed account of the transformation of labour relations and labour policy in China more broadly during 2004 to 2009, a period when there have been significant changes in the labour market, labour regulation and labour relations. The author argues that these recent developments have brought to the fore the class basis of workers’ protest in China and have thoroughly undermined the post-Marxist analysis of identity politics. The book makes an invaluable contribution to studies on industry and labour, as well as Chinese studies. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Globalisation and Chinese Migrant Workers 2.

6 Despite Beijing’s repeated assurance that China’s rise will be "peaceful", the United States, Japan and the European Union as well as many of China's Asian neighbours feel uneasy about the rise of China. Although China’s rise could be seen as inevitable, it remains uncertain as to how a politically and economically powerful China will behave, and how it will conduct its relations with the outside world. One major problem with understanding China’s international relations is that western concepts of international relations only partially explain China’s approach. China’s own flourishing, indigeneous community of international relations scholars have borrowed many concepts from the west, but their application has not been entirely successful, so the work of conceptualizing and theorizing China’s approach to international relations remains incomplete. Written by some of the foremost scholars in the field of China studies, this book focuses on the work of Wang Gungwu - one of the most influential scholars writing on international relations - including topics such as empire, nation-state, nationalism, state ideology, and the Chinese view of world order. Besides honouring Wang Gungwu as a great scholar, the book explores how China can be integrated more fully into international relations studies and theories; discusses the extent to which existing IR theory succeeds or fails to explain Chinese IR behaviour, and demonstrates how the study of Chinese experiences can enrich the IR field. CONTENTS Part 1: Historicity and Social Foundation of China’s Domestic Order and International Relations 1. Historicity and International Relations: A Tribute to Wang Gungwu 2. A Re-Appraisal of Abrahamic Values and Neorealist IR Theory: From a Confucian-Asian Perspective 3. Historians and Chinese World Order: Fairbank, Wang, and the Matter of ‘Indeterminate Relevance’ 4.

The Domestic Sources of China's Foreign Policy China Policy Series
Lai Hongyi, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56237-9; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION As China’s political and economic influence in the world is rapidly increasing, it is essential to understand how China’s domestic politics affects its foreign political and economic policy. This book offers an accessible, informative and up-to-date systemic analysis of the foreign policy of China. Where mainstream literature on international relations usually suggests that China’s foreign policy is primarily determined by external factors, such as the international system and external settings, this book demonstrates instead that domestic factors profoundly shape China’s foreign policy from the late Mao’s era to the reform era. It demonstrates how China’s foreign policy is driven by the preservation of political and economic regimes; the political survival of the top leader; the top leader’s vision for, and skills in, managing external affairs; the leader’s policy priorities; dramatic events and the process of policymaking. It presents its argument in-depth analysis of major cases of Chinese foreign policy – for example, China’s difficult relations with Southeast Asia; China’s 15-year accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO); China’s oil diplomacy in the recent decade, and the diversified process of foreign policy making in the twenty-first century.

7 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A major transformation of Chinese higher education (HE) has taken place over the past decade, with the number of graduates from China’s higher education institutions having quadrupled over the past six years to three million a year. China is exceptional among lower income countries in using tertiary education as a development strategy on such a scale. Its aim is to not only improve the quality of its graduates, but also make HE available to as many of its citizens as possible. But has China got its policies right? Can its universities move from quantity to quality? How will so many graduates find jobs in line with their expectations? Can Britain and other western countries continue to benefit from China’s education boom? What are the prospects for collaboration in research? This book provides a critical examination of these issues and other issues, and evaluates the prospects for Chinese and foreign HE providers, regulators and other stakeholders. It introduces the key changes in China’s HE programme since the Opening-Up policy in 1www.routledge.com/978 and analyses the achievements and the challenges over the subsequent three decades. Furthermore, it sheds light on new reforms that are likely to take place in the future, particularly as a result of the current international financial crisis.

The Institutional Dynamics of China's Great Transformation China Policy Series
Xiaoming Huang, Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58058-8; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the role of institutions in China’s recent fundamental economic transformation and social and political changes. Viewing the changes from a variety of subject perspectives, including economics, politics and communication studies, the book argues that, although the importance of institutions is widely acknowledged, exactly how institutions affect changes in particular national and historical settings is less well understood. The institutions discussed include China’s political and legal institutions, the international institutions with which China engages, institutions promoting science and technology, media companies, and local institutions, including the household registration system. Overall, besides showing how institutions have affected recent change in China, the book also discusses how institutions themselves have been formed, changed and re-formed over recent decades.

Legitimating the Chinese Communist Party Since Tiananmen China Policy Series
Peter Sandby-Thomas, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55398-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The dominant view concerning the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is that it is simply a matter of time before it comes to an end. This view has been dominant since the pro-democracy protests in 1989 and has only been strengthened by the increasing number of protests in recent years. However, the Chinese Communist Party has continued to remain in power throughout this period and its rule appears to be secure in the short-to medium-term. As the twentieth anniversary of the military suppression of the prodemocracy demonstrations approaches, this book explains how the Chinese Communist Party has maintained its authority since 1989. It provides a detailed analysis of the Party’s discourse emphasising stability in the post-Tiananmen period, analysing the government’s propaganda in order to show how this discourse has been used by the Party to legitimate its authority. The interdisciplinary nature of this book makes it relevant to a number of different academic disciplines including Asian studies, China studies, international relations, politics and sociology.

Public Procurement in China China Policy Series
Ping Wang, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46276-1; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Owing to its massive state sector, public procurement in China is a critical element of public policy. At the same time, because of its considerable market size, public procurement is of increasing importance for international trade, and thus subject to enacted regulations in most countries and has been put on the agenda of international and regional trade organisations, such as the WTO. This book examines China’s public procurement regime since the launching of market-oriented reform in 1www.routledge.com/978. It outlines the development of the relevant national laws and their implementing regulations, which have evolved from scratch since the onset of economic reform. It considers the impact of WTO membership, and the steps China has taken to initiate negotiations on accession to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) by the end of 2007. It also provides a detailed picture of the current legal framework, assessing the impact of key legislative measures including the Tendering Law of 2000 and the Government Procurement Law of 2003. While both laws were drafted with the help of international experts and organisations such as the EU, there remain a number of inconsistencies in China’s public procurement regime, such as the overlap between the scope of application in laws and jurisdiction of government agencies. This book shows how these issues, that are hard for the international community to understand, will have a profound impact on China’s domestic policy agenda and its integration into the global trading system. Overall, this book is important not only for those who want to understand China’s procurement regime and public policy, but also for business people requiring a detailed picture of the current legal and regulatory environment.

Communalism and Globalization in South Asia and its Diaspora Intersections: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories
Edited by Deana Heath, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and Chandana Mathur, National University of Ireland, Maynooth PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57364-1; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book deals with the relationship between communalism and globalization in South Asia, addressing the issue of time scale and causality of the two concepts and asking whether globalization has amplified or muted the processes of communalism. Globalization is typically conceived of as a very recent phenomenon, whereas communalism is usually conceived of as atavistic and inherently premodern. Exploring different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives and methodologies that range from archival to oral historical to multi-sited ethnographic research, this book presents detailed scholarly analyses of the issues of communalism and globalization. Arguments are based in close-up views of specific historical and contemporary phenomena across four South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) and various diaspora locations. With contributions by some of the most notable scholars working on communalism in South Asia and its diaspora as well as a selection of challenging new voices, the book is an important stimulation of new debates surrounding the relationship between communalism and globalization.

Subalternity and Religion Intersections: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories
Milind Wakankar, SUNY, Stony Brook, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 212pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77878-7; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the relationship between mainstream and marginal or subaltern religious practice in the Indian subcontinent, and its entanglement with ideas of nationhood, democracy and equality. With detailed readings of texts from Marathi and Hindi literature and criticism, the book brings together studies of Hindu devotionalism with issues of religious violence. Drawing on the arguments of Partha Chatterjee, Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida, the author demonstrates that Indian democracy, and indeed postcolonial democracies in general, do not always adhere to Enlightenment ideals of freedom and equality, and that religion and secular life are inextricably enmeshed in the history of the modern, whether understood from the perspective of Europe or of countries formerly colonized by Europe. Therefore subaltern protest, in its own attempt to lay claim to history, must rely on an idea of religion that is inextricably intertwined with the deeply invidious legacy of nation, state, and civilization. The author suggests that the co-existence of acts of social altruism and the experience of doubt born from social strife - ‘miracle’ and ‘violence’ - ought to be a central issue for ethical debate. Keeping in view the power and reach of genocidal Hinduism, this book is the first to look at how the religion of marginal communities at once affirms and turns away from secularized religion. This important contribution to the study of vernacular cosmopolitanism in South Asia will be of great interest to historians and political theorists, as well as to scholars of religious studies, South Asian studies and philosophy.

This book explores the degree to which traditional patterns of both houses and households are changing. It examines the social, economic and urban changes which are causing these changes, discusses the shift from the stem family to the nuclear family and to a situation where there are large numbers of single person and childless couple households, and elderly people living in nursing homes, and explores new patterns in family relationships. It also discusses new rhetoric about the family, and new concepts of self and family role fulfilment. CONTENTS 1. Introduction Richard Ronald and Allison Alexy 2.

Japanese Women, Class and the Tea Ceremony Japan Anthropology Workshop Series
Kaeko Chiba, Akita International University, Japan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55715-3; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the complex relationship between class and gender dynamics among tea ceremony ( chad? ) practitioners in Japan. Focusing on practitioners in a provincial city, Akita, the book surveys the rigid, hierarchical chad? system at grass roots level. Making critical use of Bourdieu’s idea of cultural capital, it explores the various meanings of chad? for Akita women and argues that chad? has a cultural, economic, social and symbolic value and is used as a tool to improve gender and class equality. Chad? practitioners focus on tea procedure and related aspects of chad? such as architecture, flower arranging, gardening and pottery. Initially, only men were admitted to chad? ; women were admitted in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and now represent the majority of practitioners. The author - a chad? practitioner and descendant of chad? teachers - provides a thorough, honest account of Akita women based on extensive participant observation and interviews. Where most literature on Japan focuses on metropolitan centres such as Kitakyushu and Tokyo, this book is original in both its subject and scope. Also, as economic differences between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas have become more pronounced, it is timely to explore the specific class and gender issues affecting nonmetropolitan women.

Decentralization and Adat Revivalism in Indonesia Rethinking Southeast Asia
Adam D. Tyson, University of Northern Malaysia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-78011-7; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the dynamic process of political transition and indigenous ( adat ) revival in newly decentralized Indonesia. The political transition in May 1998 set the stage for the passing of Indonesia’s framework decentralization laws. These laws include both political and technocratic efforts to devolve authority from the centre (Jakarta) to the peripheries. Contrary to expectations, enhanced public participation often takes the form of adat revivalism - a deliberate, highly contested and contingent process linked to intensified political struggles throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The author argues adat is aligned with struggles for recognition and remedial rights, including the right to autonomous governance and land. It cannot be understood in isolation, nor can it be separated from the wider world. Based on original fieldwork and using case studies from Sulawesi to illustrate the key arguments, this book provides an overview of the key analytical concepts and a concise review of relevant stages in Indonesian history. It considers struggles for rights and recognition, focusing on regulatory processes and institutional control. Finally, Tyson examines land disputes and resource conflicts. Regional and local conflicts often coalesce around forms of ethnic representation, which are constantly being renegotiated, along with resource allocations and entitlements, and efforts to preserve or reinvent cultural identities. This will be valuable reading for students and researchers in Political Studies, Development Studies, Anthropology and Southeast Asian Studies and Politics. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

12 Most studies on nations and nationalism argue that history, or more precisely a 'common past', is crucial for the process of national identity building. However, the existence of one or more concurrent narratives for the construction of this identity is often not accounted for, and there are cases where the ‘common past’ or a ‘collective memory’ is no longer shared. This book centres on the construction, elaboration and negotiation of the narratives that have become official history in India. These narratives influence politics and the representation of the nation. Depending on the chosen definition of the nation, over 160 million Muslim Indians are either included or excluded from the nation, and considered as ‘foreigners from inside’. The author shows that beyond the antagonism of two representations of history, two conceptions of the Indian nation – secular and Hindu nationalist – confronted each other during the history textbook controversy between 1998 and 2004. The diverging elements of the two discourses are underlined, and surprising similarities are uncovered. Yet, in contemporary India this convergence remains overshadowed in political debates as the definition of the political has been shaped by the opposition between these two visions of the nation. This book analyzes and questions the conception of the school textbook as a tool of national construction and more generally highlights the complexity of the link between historiography, nation-state and nation-building.

Dispossession and Resistance in India Routledge Advances in South Asian Studies
Alf Gunvald Nilsen, University of Bergen, Norway PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 242pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55864-8; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book deals with the controversies on developmental aspects of large dams, with a particular focus on the Narmada Valley projects in India. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and research, the author draws on Marxist theory to craft a detailed analysis of how local demands for resettlement and rehabilitation were transformed into a radical anti-dam campaign linked to national and transnational movement networks. The book explains the Narmada conflict and addresses how the building of the antidam campaign was animated by processes of collective learning, how activists extended the spatial scope of their struggle by building networks of solidarity with transnational advocacy groups, and how it is embedded in and shaped by a wider field of force of capitalist development at national and transnational scales. The analysis emphasizes how the Narmada dam project is related to national and global processes of capitalist development, and relates the Narmada Valley movement to contemporary popular struggles against dispossession in India and beyond. Conclusions drawn from the resistance to the Narmada dams can be applied to social movements in other parts of the Global South, where people are struggling against dispossession in a context of neoliberal restructuring. As such, this book will have relevance for people with an interest in South Asian studies, Indian politics and Development Studies. CONTENTS 1.

Drawing on detailed empirical fieldwork conducted in Seoul and Beijing, including case studies of redevelopment neighbourhoods and interviews with government officials, real estate developers and local residents, it explores the different approaches to urban transformation that have been adopted. It shows how despite social, economic and political differences between cities, urban transformation has come to depend heavily on the participation of real estate developers and property owners for their successful implementation. It describes how property-based interests have formed partnerships to revalue under-valued neighbourhoods and make way for higher priced dwellings and higher income residents, which in turn has left many low-income families facing the demolition of and displacement from their neighbourhoods. It assesses the reasons behind the rise of developer-led renewal, and considers the benefits and costs accruing to all the affected parties. It concludes by drawing implications for public policy, arguing that urban transformation has not had benign outcomes for all, and that stronger government intervention is necessary to safeguard the interests of existing residents in dilapidated neighbourhoods.

Industrial Innovation in China Routledge Contemporary China Series
Edited by Denis Fred Simon, Pennsylvania State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77610-3; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides an in-depth analysis of industrial innovation in China, assessing the progress China has made in re-structuring and re-configuring its innovation systems in the context of the massive and multifaceted program of economic reform. Each chapter tackles a different aspect of industrial innovation, such as research and development (R&D), intellectual property, technological adaptation, and government policy. Some chapters adopt a comparative perspective, comparing the Chinese case with important economies such as Korea and India and the global economy more generally. It shows that the reform process has had a powerful impact on China’s industrial innovation, suggesting that a new system is emerging that is much more driven by market forces and has been heavily influenced by China’s growing interactions with the outside world. It argues that the launch of the Chinese government’s new Medium-to-Long-term Strategy & Technology Plan, 2006-2020 (MLP), represents an important demarcation point in the evolution of the Chinese national innovation system. The MLP promises to alter the prevailing trajectory of Chinese innovation in a fundamental way, putting the enterprise at centre stage in an effort to secure better linkages between those organisations that generate new ideas and those responsible for the commercialisation of these ideas. Finally, it addresses the crucial question of whether China has embarked on a path that will lead it to becoming a true technological superpower. Overall, this book puts forward a sophisticated, insightful, and realistic set of assessments about the capabilities of China’s industrial innovation, a crucial determining factor of China’s future economic performance.

In this book, Shang-Ling Jui focuses on China’s software industry and examines the complete innovation value chain of software in its key phases of innovation, standards definition, development and marketing. He argues that, except for software development, these key phases are of high added-value and that without adopting the concept of independent innovation as a guiding ideology, China’s software enterprises – like India’s – would have an uncertain future. In other words, the lack of core competence in the development of China’s software industry might restrain the industry from taking the leading position and drive it towards becoming no more than the software workshop of multinationals over the long term. Shang-Ling Jui contends that China’s software industry should and can possess its own complete innovation value chain. Having worked in China’s software industry for many years, the author provides an inside-out perspective – identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the industry and defining the challenges in China’s transition from "Made in China" to "Innovated in China."

The novelty, urgency, and complexity of Chinese unemployment have compelled the government to experiment with policy initiatives that originate in the West, initiatives such as training programmes, career and psychological counselling, a webbased national labour-market information network, and labour-market insurance, and also other employment-related initiatives such as using community (shequ) organizations as the base for new mechanisms of governance and informal job generation. This book examines these initiatives which represent China’s attempt to institutionalize, professionalize and humanize its approach to governance, drawing heavily on international norms and standards in employment regulation. Based on extensive original research including semi-structured interviews, the book argues that although the Chinese government is not a liberal democracy, it is increasingly using liberal techniques to govern. The book discusses the ways in which the government combines the new techniques with old campaign-style policy techniques, which not only makes the state’s power visible, but also allows it to claim credit for managing unemployment.

The recent economic reforms and concurrent relaxation of religious polices have provided fertile ground for the revitalization of a wide range of religious practices including divination, ancestor worship, temple festivals, spirit mediumism, funeral rites, exorcism, pilgrimages and more. At the same time apparently new forms of religious practices have emerged, including lay Buddhist preachers, "Maoist shamans", and a bewildering number of new sects and schools. This book provides a wide-ranging and in-depth survey of contemporary religious practices in China. It examines the nature of contemporary practices, including formal and informal practices, mainstream religions such as Buddhism and Daoism, minority religions such as Roman Catholicism and "new" religions. It explores how this remarkable religious effervescence has come about, discusses which practices are revivals of older practices, which are new ones and which older practices have not been revived, and relates religious revitalization and innovation to larger issues of social and cultural continuity and change.

The country’s embrace of globalisation and global integration which was demonstrated so vividly during the 2008 Olympics has produced domestic and external factors that are pushing the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) into a decisive break with policies and practices inherited from the command economy. This book focuses on how the ACFTU is reforming under current conditions. It argues that it is the dependence of primary level trade unions on the employers, not acceptance of Party leadership, which is the main obstacle to effective union work and that the evolving labour unrest, as opposed to legal developments, is the main force driving trade union reform. While exploring the dominant direction of this reform, which has been to channel disputes into juridical forms of dispute resolution sponsored by the State, the book also highlights key examples of more innovative experiments in trade union work that represent a clear break with past practice and, crucially, have been recognised by both the union and Party leaderships as models for future trade union policy and practice.

This crash, the world’s worst, on 12 August 1985, involved the largest loss of life in any air crash to date, with 520 people killed, people returning to their ancestral home for the Obon religious festival. This book tells the story of the crash, discusses the many controversial issues surrounding it, and considers why it has come to have such importance for the Japanese.

In many of these countries Chinese immigrants are engaged in entrepreneurial activities, often dominating key sectors of the economy. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Chinese migration to these countries. It explores how Chinese migration has come about, discusses the motivation of the migrants and examines the significant contribution the migrants are making.

It investigates the roles of a non-western ‘national’ film industry in Asia in constructing nationhood and identity within colonial and postcolonial predicaments. The political and economic forces and the cultural institutions that have been active in shaping Bangladesh cinema are presented. The author explores how the conflict among different social groups turned Bangladesh cinema into a site of contesting identities during the twentieth century and beyond. In particular, he illustrates the connections between film production and reception in Bangladesh and a variety of nationalist constructions of Bengali Muslim identity. Drawing on the idea of cinema as public sphere and the postcolonial notion of formation of the ‘Bangladesh’ nation, interactions between cinema and middle-class Bengali Muslims in different social and political matrices are analysed. It is then argued that the development of western-educated Bengali-Muslim middle classes and their search for a distinct cultural identity affected the development of cinema as a cultural institution in postcolonial East Pakistan and Bangladesh. This book, the first major academic study on this large and vibrant national cinema, demonstrates that Bangladesh national cinema worked as different ‘public spheres’ for different ‘publics’ throughout the twentieth century. It fills a gap in Global Film and Media Studies as well as in South Asian Studies. CONTENTS 1. Methods in Film Historiography 2.

It covers the years spanning cinema’s emergence as a popular form in Bengal in the first half of the twentieth century, studies the main genres and trends produced by this cinema, and leads up to Bengali cinema’s last phase of transition in the 1980s, which produced its contemporary avatar. Arguing that Bengali cinema has been a key economic and social institution, which must be considered for what it brings to bear upon our existing sense of Bengali and Indian history, the author highlights that the Bengali filmic imaginary existed over and above the imaginary of the Indian nation. This book constructs a definitive history of Bengali cinema, and makes a case for this history as positing an alternative understanding to the currently influential notion of the Hindi film as the ‘Indian’ or ‘national’ cinema. It argues that the Bengali cinema presents a history which brings to the fore the deeply contested terrain of ‘national’ cinema, as also its ultimate subversion, and posits the creation of an “alternative imaginary” of the Bengali film. The case of the Bengali cinema demonstrates the emergence of a public domain that set up a definitive discourse of difference with respect to the “all-India” Hindi film (popularly classified as Bollywood cinema), thus preempting, consciously, its own subsumption within the more pervasive culture of the Bombay Hindi cinema. While Bengali cinema could not ultimately compete with the “all-India” Hindi film, it was able to create a domain which steadfastly resisted the construction of India as a Hindi-nation. CONTENTS 1.

Using the author’s analysis of a sociological imagination, it is developed here as one that is concerned with the private and public issues of the day through the silver screen and popular cultures of Bollywood cinema. He engages with the common assumptions about everyday South Asian and diasporic South Asian cultures and representations that are given expression in and through Bollywood cinema. By interrogating these issues further, the ideas of nation, race, religion, gender and sexuality, cinema and public spaces, diaspora and globalization are explored. Providing a socio-cultural commentary on the contemporary workings of popular Hindi cinema as an industry, this book is a continuation of the critical tradition.

Conflict and Peacebuilding in Sri Lanka Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Edited by Jonathan Goodhand, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK, Jonathan Spencer, University of Edinburgh, UK and Benedikt Korf, University of Zurich - Irchel, Switzerland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46604-2; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book brings together a unique range of perspectives on the Sri Lankan peace process from 2001-2006, a period that has seen the rise and fall of an attempt to bring a protracted violent conflict to a peaceful resolution. A ceasefire agreement, signed in February 2002, was followed by six rounds of peace talks. But growing political violence, disagreements over core issues and a fragmentation of the constituencies of the key parties led to the break down of the peace process; there has now been a shift from the ‘no-war, nopeace’ hiatus of the peace negotiations towards a major escalation of fighting. The contributions are based upon extensive field research and written by leading Sri Lankan and international researchers and practitioners. Applying a political economy framework and by the concept of ‘liberal peacebuilding’, the structures and dynamics of conflict and the interaction and role of international actors are analysed. The lessons drawn from the Sri Lankan case have important implications in the context of wider debates on the ‘liberal peace’ and post conflict peacebuilding – particularly as these debates have largely been shaped by the ‘high profile’ cases such as Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. Therefore this book will be of interest not only to Sri Lanka specialists but also to the wider academic and policy/practitioner audience. CONTENTS Setting the Scene 1.

Corporate Social Responsibility in India Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Bidyut Chakrabarty, Delhi University, India PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57503-4; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has attracted global attention. Presenting the first analysis of CSR in India, this book shows the unique roots of the concept in India: Gandhi’s philosophical moorings that inform India’s approach to CSR, the role of civil society in setting an agenda championing the rights of the stakeholders and not merely shareholders which was the case in the past and the role of the government in grooming the Indian business to be sensitive of its social concerns. Drawing on rich empirical data, the author shows that CSR in India cannot be conceptualized in ethnocentric terms. Arguing that it is not about ‘the typical Indianness’ of the articulation, he emphasizes the point that CSR in India needs to be conceptualized in a wider perspective by taking into account its philosophical roots with reference to the prevalent socio-economic and political context. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on CSR, and as such will be of interest to scholars of Asian Studies, business and development studies. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Ethics and Market in the Context of Globalization 3. Trusteeship: Inputs from Gandhi and Gandhians 4. The Empirical Context of CSR in Post-Independent India 5. CSR and Public-Partnership in India 6.

The Culturalization of Caste in India Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Balmurli Natrajan, William Paterson University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77997-5; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION An ethnic specter of caste haunts India wherein caste groups ensure their durability in an era of multiculturalism by officially representing caste as cultural difference or ethnicity rather than unequal descent-based relations. Challenging dominant social theories of caste, this book addresses questions of how caste survives the system that gave rise to it and adapts to new demands of capitalism and democracy. Based on original fieldwork among an artisanal caste in central India, the author shows how the terrain of culture captured by a new grammar of caste revitalizes castes as cultural communities so that the culture of a caste is produced, organized and naturalized in the process of transforming jati (fetishized blood and kinship) into samaj (fetishized culture). Castes are shown to not be homogenous cultural wholes but sites of hegemony where class, gender and hierarchy overdetermine the meanings and materiality of caste. Arguing that there now exists a new casteism in India paralleling a new racism built less on biology and descent and more on purported cultural differences and their rights to exist, the author locates an incipient multiculturalism of castes in India which emerges within the cultural logic of globalization and governance of difference. This book is an extended critique and a search for an alternative view of caste and anti-casteist politics. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Artisans Part 1: Producing Identities 3. Culture 4.

This book presents the most comprehensive analysis of the Kerala Model of Social Development to date. The model has often been identified as one worth emulating because it is seen to have taken the state to the zenith of human development and democratic governance. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book sheds new light on the paradoxes of the Indian state and its model of economic development. The book provides a consolidated exploration and critique of the Kerala model, which usually has been portrayed as linear with the grand narrative of progress, development and democracy. Chapters discuss the past and present dimensions of the Kerala experience from a historical and political-economic perspective, thus providing a fresh understanding of the emerging concerns in the state and the construction of an ethically viable development agenda, eschewing the scourge of social inequity. A significant contribution to the literature on development, democracy and the state, it analyses the complex interconnectedness of the various political-economic and socio-cultural domains involved in these experiences.

Education and Inequality in India Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Manabi Majumdar, Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, India and Jos Mooij, Institute of Social Studies, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49534-9; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book focuses on primary education in India and interrogates what schooling means and does to children from weaker sections of Indian society and which values underpin the school system. It examines whether the concept of `education for all’ is just a mechanically conceived policy target to chasing enrolment and attendance or whether it a larger social goal and a deeper political statement about the need for attacking entrenched social inequalities, and above all an affirmation of the idea that schooling has a liberating potential. Drawing on original data collected in the two states of Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, the authors first present the multiple ways in which social class impinges on the educational system, educational processes and educational outcomes. In the second part of the book, issues around autonomy and accountability are explored via an analysis of the position of teachers within the educational hierarchy, and by looking at the various possibilities of making teachers accountable. The last part centres on the learning process, with a particular focus on the classroom. The conclusion includes recommendations that are related to the necessity for a larger debate and normative framework, which includes private schools as possible partners in the pursuing of a public good for which a public entity should take some responsibility, and in conjuncture to that, the necessity to move from government action and responsibilities to a broader concept of public action.

The Labour Movement in the Global South Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Janaka Sumithra Biyanwila, University of Western Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58080-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Workers and trade unions in the global South, or the poorer economies made up of Asian, African and Latino workers, are faced with a range of challenges. The book explains why unions in Sri Lanka illustrate a much broader phenomenon of the global South in general, where most workers operate outside the terrain of formal labour markets. The author identifies key theoretical dimensions taken by unions and labour groupings, and then provides three case studies – nurses, tea plantation workers, garment factory workers that show how these dimensions operate in practice. The country the book examines, Sri Lanka, despite the lack of scholarly attention it deserves, is very much in the news as a potential tourist destination or another Southern state entrenched in ethnic violence and human rights violations. The book shows the roots of those conflicts not just in the policies adopted by the state and those with power, but also in the actions taken and not taken by oppositional groups, particularly by trade unions. The book is based on extensive original research, covering roughly the last three decade of ‘free’ market policies, including analyses of events within the past year. By connecting theory closely with evidence, the book illustrates how the empowerment of workers emerges from a self-transformation of unions, with a global sense of local places.

Microcredit and Women's Empowerment Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Aminul Faraizi, Jim McAllister, both of CQUniversity Australia and Taskinur Rahman, Assistance for Social Organization and Development (ASOD), Bangladesh PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58490-6; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book investigates the claims of the success of microcredit, as well as critiques of it in the context of women’s empowerment. Using the case study of Bangladesh and based on a long term participatory observation method, the book establishes that the success stories of the microcredit programme are blown out of proportion. The dynamics of collective responsibility for repayment of loans by a group of women borrowers – usually seen to be a tool for success of microcredit – is in fact no less repressive than traditional debt collectors. Microcredit does produce a kind of disciplined self, but recipients also employ their own agency in resisting this disciplinary power. Results also show that the neoliberal policy of privatisation of welfare enables capitalism to extend its control to the poorest, most deprived of the world without breaking down the cultural barriers which keep women subjugated. This book denies the universal applicability of the microcredit model to the causes and alleviation of the conditions of the poor, and, as it represents an aid practitioner working within Bangladesh questioning that universal applicability, it stands to make a worthwhile contribution to development debates, challenging adherents to more closely specify those conditions under which microcredit does indeed have validity.

Mohajir Militancy in Pakistan Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Nichola Khan, University of Brighton, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55490-9; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Synthesizing political, anthropological and psychological perspectives, this book addresses the everyday causes and appeal of longterm involvement in extreme political violence in urban Pakistan. Taking Pakistan’s ethno nationalist Mohajir party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) as a case study, it explores how certain men from the ethnic community of Mohajirs are recruited to the roles and statuses of political killers, and sustain violence as a primary social identity and lifestyle over a period of some years. By drawing on detailed fieldwork in areas involved in the Karachi conflict, the author contributes to understandings of violence, tracing the development of violent aspects of Mohajir nationalism via an exploration of political and cultural contexts of Pakistan’s history, and highlighting the repetitive homology of the conflict with the earlier violence of Partition. Through a local comparison of ethnic and religious militancy she also updates the current situation of social and cultural change in Karachi, which is dominantly framed in terms of Islamist radicalization and modernization. In her examination, governance and civil society issues are integrated with the political and psychological dimensions of mobilization processes and violence at micro-, meso- and macro- levels. This book injects a critical and innovative voice into the ongoing debates about the nature and meaning of radicalization and violence, as well as the specific implications it has for similar, contemporary conflicts in Pakistan and the developing world.

This book examines how literature by those who remained Pakistanis acts as a cultural response to the threat the war posed to a nationalist identity. It provides an analysis of the writing by Pakistani authors in their attempt to deal with the radical shock of the war and shows how fiction about the war helps readers imagine what the paring down of the country means for any abiding articulation of a Pakistani group identification. The author discusses English-and Urdu-language fictions in the context of the historical debate about Pakistani nationalism, including how such nationalism informs literary culture, and in the contemporary interest in official apologies for the past. The author organises the literary analysis around four key issues: the domestic sphere and the family; the territorial limits of citizenship; multiculturalism, class, and nationalist history; and diasporic imaginings of the nation. These issues resonate across the fictions in both languages and the author's analysis of them traces how these works grapple with changing notions of what it means to be Pakistani after the civil war and offers an interesting discussion to studies in South Asia.

After the turn of the century, these movements entered a new phase with some groups launching armed rebellions and demanding separate territories. Ethnic mobilization and conflict is threatening to disrupt the transition that began with the comprehensive peace agreement reached between the government and the Maoist rebels in November 2006. In this context, this book analyses the rise in ethnic mobilization, the dynamics and trajectories of these movements, and their consequences for Nepal. Contributions offer cultural, political and sociological approaches to understanding the roots of ethnopolitical mobilization and conflicts between diverse groups, the reasons for the increase in mobilization and violent activities, and the political and social effects of these movements. For the first time, the book addresses the question of nationalism in Nepal by bringing together empirical contributions on key issues in identity production in a comparative perspective. It is an influential volume in South Asian studies and studies of nationalism and identity more broadly. CONTENTS Part 1: Issues, Theories and Context 1.

With a focus on the Indian subcontinent, the author demonstrates how the state itself is involved in the construction of a gendered identity, and how control of women and their sexuality is central to the nationbuilding project. She applies a critical feminist approach to two major conflicts in the Indian subcontinent - the Partition of India in 1947 and the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971 – and offers suggestions for addressing historical injustices and war crimes in the context of modern Bangladesh. Addressing how the social and political elites were able to construct and legitimize a history of the state that ignored these issues, the author suggests a critical re-examination of the history of the creation of Bangladesh which takes into account the rise of the Islamic right and their involvement in war crimes. Looking at the impact that notions of nation-state and nationalism have on women from a critical feminist perspective, the book will be an important addition to the literature on gender studies, international relations and South Asian politics.

The price of that nationalism in Sri Lanka is the current agonizing split between Sinhalese and Tamil. The central focus here is the ‘capture’ of Buddhism by militant Sinhalese nationalism in the colonial and postcolonial periods and the framing of subsequent key constitutional legal moments. This is the first study that combines the dynamics of constitutionalism with the orbit of historical, political and anthropological scholarship on the cosmology of Sinhalese Buddhism and its relation to Sinhalese Buddhist nationalism. It explores four cases of legal-constitutional moments and offers a unique contribution to the politics and history of devolution in Sri Lanka. A timely and scholarly intervention given the intensification of Sri Lanka’s civil war since the election in 2005 of President Mahinda Rajapakse on an overtly ultra nationalist Sinhalese Buddhist platform, this book will be of interest to scholars of South Asian Studies, anthropology, sociology, ethnicity and political science. CONTENTS Introduction: Sri Lankan Nationalism and the Presence of the Past 1. The History of State Formation and the Crisis of Ethnicity in Sri Lanka 2. The Cosmology of Buddhism, the Pali Chronicles and the Ontology of Evil 3. Textual Practices, Sinhalese Buddhist Consciousness and Dissonance 4. Galactic Polities and the Decentralization of Power 5.

This book provides a broad-ranging analysis of the growth and impact of "political Islam" in Bangladesh, and reactions to it. Grounded in empirical data, experts on Bangladesh examine the changing character of Bangladeshi politics since 1971, with a particular focus on the convergence of governance, Islamism and militancy. They examine the impacts of Islamist politics on education, popular culture and civil society, and the regional and extraregional connections of the Bangladeshi Islamist groups.

25 points - the book assesses Bangladesh’s own prospects for internal stability as well as its wider impact upon South Asian security. It argues that the political environment of Bangladesh, the appeal of Islamist ideology to the general masses and the dynamic adaptability of Islamist organizations all demonstrate that Bangladesh will continue to focus the attention of policy makers and analysts alike. This is a timely, incisive and original explanation of the rise of political Islam and Islamic militancy in Bangladesh. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

The State in India after Liberalization Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Edited by Akhil Gupta, University of California, USA and Kalyanakrishnan Sivaramakrishnan, Yale University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77553-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book assesses the impact of liberalization on practices of government and relations between state and society. It is clear that liberalization as state policy has complex forms of regulation and deregulation inbuilt, and these policies have resulted in dramatic increases in productivity and economic wealth but also generated spectacular new forms of inequality between social groups, regions, and sectors. Through a detailed examination of the Indian state, the contributors - all experts in their respective fields - explore questions such as: Have the new inequalities resulted in greater social unrest and violence? How has the meaning of citizenship changed? What will the long-term effects of regional economic imbalances be on migration, employment, and social welfare? Will increasing federalism result in new problems? Will smaller governments be more effective in providing basic necessities such as clothing, housing, food, water, and sanitation to citizens? What does liberalization mean to Indians in cities and villages, in small towns, and metropolises, in poor, middle class, or wealthy homes? Are concepts like social capital, decentralization, private enterprise, and grass-roots globalization effective in analyzing the post-liberalization state, or are new concepts needed? By focusing on what specifically has changed about the state after liberalization in India, this volume will shed light on comparative questions about the process of neoliberal restructuring across the world. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of a variety of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, political science, geography, international studies, public policy, environmental studies and economics.

Tsunami Recovery in Sri Lanka Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Edited by Dennis B. McGilvray, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA and Michele R. Gamburd, Portland State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77877-0; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Indian Ocean Tsunami, which devastated 70 percent of Sri Lanka’s coastline and killed an estimated 35,000 people, was remarkable both for the magnitude of the disaster and for the unprecedented scale of the relief and recovery operations mounted by national and international agencies. The reconstruction process was soon hampered by political patronage, by the competing efforts of hundreds of foreign humanitarian organizations, and by the ongoing civil war. The book is framed within this larger political and social context, offering descriptions and comparisons between two regions (southwest vs. eastern coast) and four ethnic communities (Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, and Burghers) to illustrate how disaster relief unfolded in a culturally pluralistic political landscape. Approaching the issue from four disciplinary perspectives - anthropology, demography, political science, and disaster studies chapters by experts in the field analyse regional and ethnic patterns of post-tsunami reconstruction according to different sectors of Sri Lankan society. Demonstrating the key importance of comprehending the local cultural contexts of disaster recovery processes, the book is a timely and useful contribution to the existing literature.

Environmental Cooperation in Southeast Asia Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series
Paruedee Nguitragool, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58214-8; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book analyzes environmental cooperation in Southeast Asia from an international regime perspective. It examines the issue and response to the haze, the sickening and deadly cloud of smoky pollution caused by widespread burning of land and forests in Indonesia, which has posed one of the most challenging environmental threats to the ten countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Tracing the development of regional cooperation on the haze and evaluates the effectiveness of the cooperation, the author argues that the haze crisis, combined with economic crisis of 1997, has profoundly challenged the ASEAN modus operandi - characterized by the ASEAN way of diplomacy and the norms of non-intervention/non-interference - and resulted in ASEAN’s efforts to establish an environmental regime to cope with environmental challenges. Nested in ASEAN’s institutions as well as international laws, the emerging ASEAN haze regime is a unique case study of a regional environmental institution in a multilevelled global environmental governance. It links local problems such as poverty, democratization, land rights, conflicts and forest fires to the regional and global problems such as the haze, biodiversity depletion and climate change. Based on in-depth original research, the author integrates this case study in international relations, political science, and compariative political analysis literatures and contributes to a better understanding of processes within the regional organization.

Gender and Transitional Justice Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series
Susan Harris Rimmer, Australian National University PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 242pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56118-1; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gender and Transitional Justice provides the first comprehensive feminist analysis of the role of international law in formal transitional justice mechanisms. Using East Timor as a case study, it offers reflections on transitional justice administered by a UN transitional administration. Often presented as a UN success story, the author demonstrates that, in spite of women and children’s rights programmes of the UN and other donors, justice for women has deteriorated in post-conflict Timor, and violence has remained a constant in their lives. This book provides a gendered analysis of transitional justice as a discipline. It is also one of the first studies to offer a comprehensive case study of how women engaged in the whole range of transitional mechanisms in a post-conflict state, i.e. domestic trials, internationalised trials and truth commissions. The book reveals the political dynamics in a post-conflict setting around gender and questions of justice, and reframes of the meanings of success and failure of international interventions in the light of them.

Drawing on rich ethnographic fieldwork from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, the book examines both dominant constructions of masculinity and the ways in which marginal men engage with these. Complementing existing studies of gender in Asia, which have concentrated on women, East Asia and gay men, the book demonstrates, overall, how gender, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality shape contemporary understandings of what it means to be a ‘man’ in Southeast Asia.

Nation-building and National Identity in Timor-Leste Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series
Michael Leach, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 216x138 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58213-1; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION East Timor continues to be an example of a state built from the ground up, a society rebuilding itself after almost a quarter of a century of profound trauma, and consecutive eras of colonialism. The impact East Timor has had, and continues to have, across a range of fields, belies the small size of its population and territory. This book examines the key challenges of national building in Timor-Leste in the ten years since the 1999 independence referendum. It addresses key issues in the development and reconstruction of an independent East Timor, highlighting its successes and its failures, as well as a set of unresolved issues confronting the state. East Timor provides a clear example of the challenges of post-conflict nation-building. Following the 1999 violence which precipitated institutional collapse within the territory, East Timor was often described as a ‘nation without a state’. Prior to the resurgence of violence in April 2006, the UN-led mission in East Timor (UNTAET) was considered one of the most successful examples of international state-building intervention. The author examines the history of debates and conflict over issues of national identity, national history, cultural heritage, language policy, and relationships between distinct regions, generations, and language groups. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the analysis links qualitative studies of cultural nationalism with quantitative analyses of popular attitudes to national identity. The book argues that nation-building - in the sense of creating the conditions for social cohesion, political stability and identity formation - is a neglected dimension of the state-building process in post-independence Timor-Leste, and that these national ‘faultlines’ have been key sources of civil conflict since independence. CONTENTS Introduction: Nation building in Timor-Leste 1999-2009 2. Constitutional and elite narratives of national identity 3. Surveying popular attitudes to national identity 4. History curriculum and history teaching 5. Managing the cultural heritage of the resistance 6. "Eastwest" violence and post-conflict resolution programs 7. Decentralisation and nation-building 8.

28 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Sri Lanka’s conflict and peace processes have gained global attention during recent years. This book presents a comprehensive insight into the politics of reconstruction and development in Sri Lanka. Based on extensive empirical fieldwork, it elaborates how development was shaped by interplay and cooperation, but also by the disparities and conflicts between a variety of local and intervening actors, such as local organizations and civil society, LTTE, Government of Sri Lanka, international development cooperation and the Tamil diaspora. Focusing on the ceasefire which was negotiated between the Government of Sri Lanka and the separatist LTTE in 2002 and which lasted until 2006, the author integrates findings from development sociology with new perspectives on the transnationalization and the migration-development-nexus. The book provides a detailed analysis of the emerging development visions and perspectives and makes an innovative contribution by linking the analysis of local reconstruction with contemporary phenomena of transnationalization, diasporization, and globalization. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Sri Lanka between War and Peace: National Politics and the Global Development Regime 3. A Tamil Homeland: Jaffna Peninsula and the Construction of a Diaspora 4. Who Does Development? 5. Cooperation, Coalition, Conflict: Shaping Transformations 6. Development, Reconstruction and Social Change 7. Translocal Development Visions between Peace and War

This book provides a chronological analysis of the Princely State in colonial times and its post-colonial legacies. It focuses on one of the largest and most important of these states, the Princely State of Mysore, and offers a novel interpretation and thorough investigation of the relationship of king and subject in South Asia.

Moving away from the view that a relatively homogenous and discrete set of practices organized under the name of ‘indigenous’ medicine confronted an equally homogenous and discrete set of ‘modern’ practices in a colonial situation, the author argues that both the pre-existing domain of healing as well as the new forces of modernity was heterogeneous and pluralised. The book argues that owing to this plurality on both sides their relationship was not an uniformly confrontational one. Different aspects of the pre-existing healing praxes articulated with different aspects of colonial modernity through a range of ways ranging from mimesis to confrontation. The first full-length first historical exploration of the histories of ‘minor/non-classical’ domain of healing, the book maps the intellectual history of ‘subaltern’ healing in the region. It will be of interest to academics working in the field of Indian history, the history of medicine and public health. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Medical Modernity in Colonial Bengal 2.

Chen, University of Hong Kong PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00; 234x156 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56104-4; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Although the adoption of market reforms has been a key factor leading to China’s recent economic growth, China continues to be governed by a communist party and has a socialist-influenced legal system. Vietnam, starting later, also with a socialist-influenced legal system, has followed a similar reform path, and other countries too are now looking towards China and Vietnam as models for development. This book provides a comprehensive, comparative assessment of legal developments in China and Vietnam, examining similarities and differences, and raising important questions such as: Is there a distinctive Chinese model, and/or a more general East Asian Model? If so, can it be flexibly applied to social and economic conditions in different countries? If it cannot be applied to a culturally and politically similar country like Vietnam, is the model transportable elsewhere in the world? Combining ‘micro’ or interpretive methods with ‘macro’ or structural traditions, the book provides a nuanced account of legal reforms in China and Vietnam, highlighting the factors likely to promote, change or resist the spread of the Chinese model.

Cambodia's Neoliberal Order Routledge Pacific Rim Geographies

For much of the global south, however, the promise that markets will bring increased standards of living and emancipation from tyranny has been an empty one. Instead, neoliberalisation has increased the gap between rich and poor and unleashed a firestorm of social ills. This book deals with the post-conflict geographies of violence and neoliberalisation in Cambodia. Applying a geographical analysis to contemporary Cambodian politics, the author employs notions of neoliberalism, public space, and radical democracy as the most substantive components of its theoretical edifice. He argues that the promotion of unfettered marketisation is the foremost causal factor in the country’s inability to consolidate democracy following a United Nations sponsored transition. The book demonstrates Cambodian perspectives on the role of public space in Cambodia's process of democratic development and explains the implications of violence and its relationship with neoliberalism. Taking into account the transition from war to peace, authoritarianism to democracy, and command economy to a free market, this book offers a critical appraisal of the political economy in Cambodia. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Setting the Stage for Neoliberalisation 2. Caught in the Headlights of Culture and Neoliberalism: Public Space as a Vision for Democracy and Development from Below in the Global South 3. From Genocide to Elections to Coup d’État: Public Space in Cambodia’s Transitional Political Economy 4.

It opened the way for democracy, but also for the proliferation of political Islam, which the New Order had discouraged or banned. Many of the issues raised by Muslim groups concerned matters pertaining to gender and the body. They triggered heated debates about women’s rights, female political participation, sexuality, pornography, veiling, and polygamy. The author argues that public debates on Islam and Gender in contemporary Indonesia only partially concern religion, and more often refer to shifting moral conceptions of the masculine and feminine body in its intersection with new class dynamics, national identity, and global consumerism. By approaching the contentious debates from a cultural sociological perspective, the book links the theoretical domains of body politics, the mediated public sphere, and citizenship. Placing the issue of gender and Islam in the context

This book presents a comprehenisve overview of how China's rise is perceived in different countries and regions of the world. The countries and regions covered are very wide ranging including China's neighbours, other world powers, the parts of China not part of mainland China - Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau - and regions of the world where China is having an unexpected impact, such as the Middle East. Changing perceptions of China in the western media generally are also covered. Overall, the book demonstrates that whilst many countries and regions are much more positive about China's rise than they were previously, much nervousness and concern persist. CONTENTS 1.

This book examines the transformation and the multifaceted nature of the relationship between US and China in the twenty-first century, and argues that it is more competitive than co-operative, even in areas that are amenable to co-operation such as trade and nuclear non-proliferation. It addresses important questions including: Does China’s growing power and influence inexorably come at the expense of the United States or the wider world? and To what extent do the national interests and policies of the United States and China coincide or diverge on a host of regional issues? It covers all the important issues including politics, security, nuclear deterrence, military modernization, energy, trade and economic interaction, and Asia-Pacific power reconfiguration.

It focuses in particular on understanding the nuclear proliferation networks that enabled small and middle ranking powers such as Pakistan and North Korea to pursue nuclear weapons programs. Three networks are included: the Soviet network which allowed for the proliferation of nuclear technologies to India, and also to North Korea the Chinese network which provided missile technology to North Korea, and nuclear technology to Pakistan the A.Q. Khan network which transferred nuclear weapons technology from Pakistan to North Korea, and missile technology from North Korea to Pakistan. Chung Min Lee considers the pressures upon other Asian powers to go nuclear, particularly Japan and South Korea as a response to the North Korea nuclear program, and Taiwan as a response to China; the role of key forces including the rise of new asymmetrical military capabilities in Asian militaries, and the complex interplay between failing states, weapons of mass destruction and transnational terror groups.

This book firstly explores the theoretical and conceptual basis of human security, before focusing on the region itself. It shows how human security has been taken up as a central part of security policy in individual states in Southeast Asia, as well as in the regional security policy within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The book discusses domestic challenges for human security including the insurgencies in southern Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. Transnational security issues such as terrorism, drugs, human trafficking and the situation in Burma are explored by the author, and the ‘ASEAN’ way of contrasting the values and approaches of Southeast Asian countries with those in the West is assessed. By focusing on the ongoing changes and efforts to achieve human security in Southeast Asia, this book contributes to theoretical debates on human security as well as regional studies on Southeast Asia.

The book considers internal debates within the three countries; zones of conflict, including northeast and northwest south Asia, the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean; and the impact of developments in nuclear weapons and missile technology. It examines the destructive consequences of China’s harsh methods in Tibet, of China’s encouragement of military rather than democratic regimes in Pakistan, and of China’s delay in dealing with the border disputes with India. It shows how the Nehru-Chou rhetoric about "peaceful co-existence" affected the relationship, and how the dynamics of the relationship have changed significantly in recent years as a range of new factors, including India’s increasing closeness to the United States, have moved the relationship into a new phase.

This book examines the dynamics of nuclear deterrence in the Second Nuclear Age. It focuses on South Asia, as it is the most dominant and, to some, the most dangerous case of contemporary nuclear stand-off, where deterrence can fail. It provides a thorough, up-to-date qualitative analysis of the South Asian nuclear deterrence and includes detailed explanations of the concept of nuclear deterrence and its variations, the problems of applying the idea in the context of South Asia, the nature of South Asia’s deterrence stability, the nuclear postures of India and Pakistan, the dynamics and efficacies of pre-test and the post-test Indo-Pakistani nuclear deterrence, the role of confidence-building measures, and arms control in the Indo-Pakistani nuclear deterrence system. With novel explanations and fresh insights, this book sheds new light on nuclear deterrence in the Second Nuclear Age and is a timely and valuable contribution to the nuclear scholarship on South Asia.
Southeast Asia and the Rise of Chinese and Indian Naval Power Routledge Security in Asia Pacific Series
Edited by Sam Bateman and Joshua Ho, both of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55955-3; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the emerging maritime security scene in Southeast Asia. It considers highly topical implications for the region of possible strategic competition between China and India - the rising naval powers of Asia - with a possible naval "arms race" emerging between these countries both with naval force development and operations. As part of its "Look East" policy, India has deployed naval units to the Pacific Ocean for port visits and exercises both with East Asian navies and the US Navy, but India is also concerned about the possibility of the Chinese Navy operating in the Indian Ocean. Even as the US-India defence relationship continues to deepen, the

34 US and China are struggling to build a closer links. China’s and India’s strategic interests overlap in this region both in maritime strategic competition or conflict – which might be played out in the Bay of Bengal, the Malacca and Singapore Straits and the South China Sea. The sea lines of communication (SLOCs) through Southeast Asian waters constitute vital "choke points" between the Indian and Pacific Oceans carrying essential energy supplies for China and other Northeast Asian countries. Any strategic competition between China and India has implications for other major maritime players in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, especially Australia, the Republic of Korea and Japan, as well as the US. This book identifies possible cooperative and confidence-building measures that may contribute to enhanced relations between these two major powers and dampen down the risks associated with their strategic competition.

Social Theory in Contemporary Asia Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought
Ann Brooks, University of Adelaide, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 160pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55109-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Philosophical debates around individualization and the implications for intimacy, reflexivity and identity have occupied a central part of social and cultural theorizing in the West in the last decade. The author analyses the relevance of these debates in the context of contemporary Asia and combines an analysis of significant social theorists with an application of these debates to social, political and cultural contexts. Intimacy, reflexivity and identity are examined in the context of cultured, gendered and ethnic Asian identities. The author looks at debates around ‘individualization’, reflexivity and identity; religions and practices in the region; and gender relations in the context of late modernity in Asia. Further debates examined include intimacy and equality in heterosexual relationships; sex and singlehood as sources of tension in cosmopolitan Asia; and the impact of nationalism and state policy on procreation, gender ideology and human rights. Drawing on empirical research, case studies, global reports, media and academic literature, the book provides a relevant, wide-ranging and contemporary analysis of the debates on Asian culture and society. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Contesting Intimacy, Reflexivity and Identity in Contemporary Social Theory 2. Intimacy, Reflexivity and Identity in Contemporary Asia 3. Reflexivity and the Transformation of Gender Identity in Cosmopolitan Asia 4.

Bureaucracy, Community and Influence in India Routledge Studies in South Asian History
William Gould, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77664-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Offering a fresh approach to the issue of government and administrative corruption through 'everyday' citizen interactions with the state, this book explores changing discourses and practices of corruption in late colonial and early independent Uttar Pradesh, India. The author moves away from assumptions that the state can primarily be associated with the top levels of government, and looks at citizens' approaches to local level bureaucracies and police. The central argument of the book is that deeply 'institutionalised' corruption in India could only have come about through the exercise of particular long term customs of interaction between agencies of the state - government servants and police, and their interactions with local politicians. Because the social hierarchies that condition such interactions are complicated by individual and family connections to state employment, periods of traumatic state transformation lead to a reconfiguration in the meaning of corruption in the local state. Based on principal primary sources and extensive field interviews, this book will be of interest to academics working on political science and Indian and South Asian history.

Gandhi's Spinning Wheel and the Making of India Routledge Studies in South Asian History
Rebecca Brown, Johns Hopkins University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 216x138 mm; 144pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49431-1; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gandhi’s use of the spinning wheel was one of the most significant unifying elements of the nationalist movement in India. Spinning was seen as an economic and political activity that could bring together the diverse population of South Asia, and allow the formerly elite nationalist movement to connect to the broader Indian population. This book looks at the politics of spinning both as a visual symbol and as a symbolic practice. It traces the genealogy of spinning from its early colonial manifestations in Company painting to its appropriation by the anti-colonial movement. This complex of visual imagery and performative ritual had the potential to overcome labour, gender, and religious divisions and thereby produce an accessible and effective symbol for the Gandhian anti-colonial movement. By thoroughly examining all aspects of this symbol’s deployment, this book unpacks the politics of the spinning wheel and provides a model for the analysis of political symbols elsewhere. It also probes the successes of India’s particular anti-colonial movement, making an invaluable contribution to studies in social and cultural history, as well as South Asian Studies.

Gender and Radical Politics in India Routledge Studies in South Asian History

Beginning as an armed peasant uprising in 1967 under the leadership of radical communists, the movement was inspired by the Marxist-Leninist theory of revolution and involved a significant section of the contemporary youth from diverse social strata with a vision of people’s revolution. It inspired similar radical movements in other South Asian countries such as Nepal. Arguing that the history and memory of the Naxalbari movement is fraught with varied gendered experiences of political motivation, revolutionary activism, and violence, this book analyses the participation of women in the movement and their experiences. Based on extensive ethnographic and archival research, the author argues that women’s emancipation was an integral part of their vision of revolution, and many of them identified the days of their activism as magic moments, as a period of enchanted sense of emancipation. The book places the movement into the postcolonial history of South Asia. It makes a significant contribution to the understanding of radical communist politics in South Asia, particularly in relation to issues concerning the role of women in radical politics. CONTENTS 1.

It was a major event in South Asian and British colonial history that significantly challenged imperialism in India. This fascinating collection explores hitherto ignored diversities of the Great Rebellion such as gender and colonial fiction, courtesans, white ‘marginals’, penal laws and colonial anxieties about the Mughals, even in exile. Also studied are popular struggles involving tribals and outcastes, and the way outcastes in the south of India locate the Rebellion. Interdisciplinary in focus and based on a range of untapped source materials and rare, printed tracts, this book questions conventional wisdom. The comprehensive introduction traces the different historiographical approaches to the Great Rebellion, including the imperialist, nationalist, marxist and subaltern scholarship. While questioning typical assumptions associated with the Great Rebellion, it argues that the Rebellion neither began nor ended in 1857-58. Clearly informed by the ‘Subaltern Studies’ scholarship, this book is post-subalternist as it moves far beyond narrow subalternist concerns. It will be of interest to students of Colonial and South Asian History, Social History, Cultural and Political Studies. CONTENTS 1.

Departing from the existing historiography of Indian nationalism, it analyses the extent to which Congress elites engaged in processes intended to foster nation-building in India. Rejecting the long-standing premise that the Congress primarily sought to generate a national identity, the author hypothesizes that Congress elites knowingly grappled with the creation of a national governmentality. He argues that they distanced themselves from lethargic nation-building exercises and instead opted to support more practical and more feasible statebuilding efforts. Accordingly, this book shows that Congress elites constructed the institutions that would enable Indians to govern themselves after India’s liberation from British imperialism. It presents evidence which shows that Congress elites began to perceive themselves and their organization as an emerging post-colonial state. CONTENTS 1.

The Everyday Impact of Economic Reform in China Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia
Ying Zhu, Michael Webber, both of University of Melbourne, Australia and John Benson, University of Southern Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 194pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-42841-5; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION During the past 30 years, China has undergone extensive economic reform, replacing the government’s administration of enterprises with increasing levels of market-oriented enterprise autonomy. At the heart of the reform are changes in the employment relationship, where state control has been superceded by market relationships. These reforms have had far-reaching implications for many aspects of everyday life in Chinese society. This book appraises the impact of the economic reforms on the employment relationship and, in turn, examines the effects on individual workers and their families, including salaries, working conditions and satisfaction, job security and disparities based on location, gender, age, skill, position and migrant status. In particular, it focuses on how changes in

It explores the changing human resource management practices and employment relations in different types of enterprises: including State-Owned Enterprises, Foreign-Owned Enterprises and Domestic Private Enterprises; throughout different industries, focusing especially on textiles, clothing and footwear and the electronics industry; and in different regions and cities within China (Beijing, Haerbin, Lanzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan and Kunming). Overall, this book provides a detailed account of the everyday implications of economic reform for individuals and families in China. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Globalization and the Japanese Economy Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia
David Bruce, London Metropolitan University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46944-9; April 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides a critical account of the origin, development and operation of the Japanese economy. Based on detailed empirical research and statistical analysis, it examines the development of the Japanese economy before and after the Second World War until today. In particular, it explores a debate that has divided economic historians in Japan and has played a major role in current debates about economic reform: whether the modern Japanese economy is largely a construct of events during the Second World War, or if instead it is a natural part of the evolution from a much older system. This debate has important ramifications for understanding not only how the modern Japanese economy came into existence and its fundamental workings, but also why Japan was so successful and the reasons it is facing problems today. It challenges externally imposed views of the Japanese economy and its success, for example that its high rates of growth were principally driven by export growth and uniquely favourable conditions in the world economy in the post-war period. Despite its strong resonance in academic and policy-making circles in Japan, the extensive literature on this topic has been neglected by international scholars. This book brings that material to an English language audience for the first time. It also adds to that debate, arguing that the events of the Second World War did have critical lasting consequences and did not merely amount to an aberration of a long term trend, but that other important factors have also exerted an impact, for example the change in the nature of the Japanese economy as it shifted from a small economy in the international system (and therefore much less able to deal with a competitive international economy through government intervention), to a large closed one (which was much more insulated and less exposed to changes in international conditions).

It sheds light on countries that are gradually realising this situation, with examples from many parts of the world, including Eastern Europe, Africa and especially Asia, where a great deal is being made of innovation and intellectual property to stimulate economic growth. Specific examples discussed include Japan and Korea’s new cross border laws and the patent prosecution highway, to which China has also recently signed up, and India’s development of generic drugs at lower costs. It discusses how these successful models can be utilised by less developed emerging economies such as those in Africa, where IP development is almost non-existent or, in some cases, explored only superficially. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the ways in which innovation, protection and enforcement of IP laws can help newly emerging economies achieve economic growth without destroying natural and human resources, and move ahead from the current global financial crisis.

One of the key sources of human capital to the global economy is India, and the main destinations for Indian professionals has been Western developed economies, the Middle East and Gulf regions and East and Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia as a region has close historical, social and cultural linkages with India, and India has undertaken a number of initiatives under its “Look East” policy (LEP) to enhance ties with the Southeast Asian region. This book examines the trends and motivations of human capital flows from India to Southeast Asia. Focusing in particular on Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, the three largest ASEAN trading partners with India, the book provides an analysis of Indian labor in a variety of sectors including the information technology (IT) sector, academia, banking, oil and gas. Based on empirical data, the book provides an analysis of current trends in the flow of human capital from India to Southeast Asia. It will be of interest to policy makers, businessmen, students, analysts and academics in the field of Asian studies, foreign relations, human capital and labour migration. CONTENTS 1.

The crisis changed Asia and the world; currency depreciations, personal and state indebtedness, mass unemployment and rioting brought the paternalistic capitalist phase to an end in Asia. The decade following the economic crisis has seen a swift response, with the major restructuring of Asian economies, improved corporate governance, banks recapitalized, more attention paid to the environment and foreign exchange reserves restored so the IMF became redundant in Asia. Dividing the countries that emerged from the crisis into three categories – the Insecure Rich, the New Aspirants for Prosperity and the Danger Zone – Noman analyses the complex Asian recovery and future challenges within the framework of Responsible Development, an agenda for Asia that emphasizes the simultaneous challenge of building sustainable democracies, a viable environment and an equitable economy. Covering the many related issues that pose a threat to Asian economic stability – climate change, religious fascism, inequality and hunger – this book will have particular relevance in the areas of development studies, economics, international politics and Asian studies.

At the onset of the current economic crisis, the issue is of even greater significance to developing countries in light of protectionism gaining strength in the global economy. This book examines the connection between trade liberalisation and poverty using theory and evidence. The case studies cover all South Asian countries as the region provides an excellent for a comparative study given the widespread emphasis on liberalisation reforms across all countries over the past two decade, significant inter-country differences in terms of the timing and comprehensiveness of reforms, and the heavy concentration of world poverty in the region. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of evidence on the link between trade liberalisation and poverty in South Asia and highlights important policy issues. CONTENTS Part 1 1.

40 The concept of "innovation systems" has gained considerable attention from scholars and politicians alike. The concept promises not only to serve as a tool to explain sustained economic development, but also to provide policy-makers with scientifically grounded policy options to advance the growth of economies. In recent times, the thrust of literature has been to review existing empirical findings in order to deduce "best practice" models which are assumed to benefit all countries in a similar fashion. However, as this book argues, these models, because they aim to be universal, often fail in both analysis and policy prescriptions, as they do not take into account sufficiently the circumstances and development trajectories of particular countries. This book discusses the extent to which the diagnoses and reform recommendations of recent work on innovation theory and the related policy recommendations actually apply to Japan and China. It examines the present design and reasons underlying the Japanese and Chinese innovation systems, and based on those findings, emphasises the necessity for reform if the future competitiveness of these countries is to be secured.

Of particular interest is the occupation of Dutch Borneo, governed by the Imperial Japanese Navy that had longterm plans for ‘permanent possession’. This book surveys Borneo under Western colonialism, examines pre-war Japanese interests in Borneo, and analyses the Japanese military invasion and occupation. It goes on to consider the nature of Japanese rule in Borneo, contrasting the different regimes of the Imperial Japanese Army, which ruled the north, and the Navy. A wide range of issues are discussed, including the incorporation of the economy in the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and the effects of this on Borneo’s economy. The book also covers issues such as the relationship with the various indigenous inhabitants, with Islam and the Muslim community, and the Chinese, as well as topics of acculturation and propaganda, and major uprisings and mass executions. It examines the impact of the wartime conditions and policies on the local multiethnic peoples and their responses, providing an invaluable contribution to the greater understanding of the significance of the wartime Japanese occupation in the historical development of Borneo.

Preston, University of Manchester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 352pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56113-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION With the rise of industrial capitalism in Europe and the related imposition of colonial rule in much of East Asia, both Europe and East Asia have intertwined histories that continue to shape their political thinking and political decision making. The contemporary interactions of the two regions – now once again major trading partners – will both depend upon and facilitate deeper understandings of their respective sets of national pasts. This book compares national pasts as well as the current processes of change taking place in Europe and East Asia, including the dynamics of the European Union in Europe and the re-emergence of the historical centre of China in East Asia. It argues that as the change unfolds in the economic, social and political fields, the various national pasts embedded with

The Philosophy of Japanese Wartime Resistance Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia
Edited by David Williams, Cardiff University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47646-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This is a complete translation, together with a substantial commentary and introduction, of The Standpoint of World History and Japan , by Masaaki Kosaka, Iwao Koyama, Keiji Nishitani and Shigetaka Suzuki. This important work, by leading philosophers of the Kyoto School, long regarded as one of the most notorious "fascist" texts produced in Japan during the Pacific War, is, in fact, the translator and editor argues, an act of bold public dissent from the policies of aggressive expansion pursued by the wartime Tojo regime. As the translator and editor argues, the work of the Kyoto School requires close guided reading, as the true radical meaning is often made deliberately opaque by the writers in order to avoid inviting a hostile reaction from the regime being criticised. The translator and editor provides guidance on how to extract the true meaning from this opaque work, and goes on to cotend that these Kyoto School philosophers were conspiring with the Imperial Japanese Navy to bring the Tojo cabinet down.

China's Multinationals – The Resource Sector Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy

Interestingly, about half of China’s foreign direct investment is made by firms in the resource sector, that is by firms involved in oil, gas, mining, metal and other resource-based industries. This book examines the foreign direct investment activities of China’s resource sector multinationals and the unfolding impact of these activities. It provides both a comprehensive overview of activities, including mergers and acquisitions, and also provides detailed case studies of the activities of particular Chinese firms in particular countries and specific sectors. It argues that the motivations and competencies of Chinese multinationals are often different from what is regarded as normal behaviour by multinationals, in that Chinese firms often do not have the ownership, organisational and technological advantages usually associated with successful multinationals, but they do have government support, including in the areas of finance and international diplomacy, and they often also have significant host government support, in that much of China’s firms’ investment is in developing countries where Chinese involvement is especially welcomed. The book concludes by assessing the likely impact of Chinese foreign investment in resources on China, host countries, the security and supply of energy and other resources, and on the global economy generally.

China's Road to Peaceful Rise Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy
Zheng Bijian, China Reform Forum, China PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55271-4; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Zheng Bijian has been one of the most influential thinkers and policy formulators in China during its reform period. In the early 1990s he worked with Deng Xiaoping collating and publishing Deng’s speeches and as vice president of the Party School gave top priority to ensuring that members of the Party were thoroughly familiar with Deng’s views, theories and reform agenda. In this important book, which is already available in Chinese, Zheng Bijian sets out his views and relates how his views were formed and developed over the long reform period, including the full text of his important speeches and papers, together with appropriate introductory material. Particular key themes which Zheng Bijian’s thought has contributed to China’s development are that China should embrace globalization and strengthen its relationship with the rest of the world, and that China’s development should be peaceful. "Zheng Bijian’s ideas, actions and vision helped China in its astonishing thirty years growth. Zheng Bijian made a great contribution to envisioning the new role of China in a globalized world. This book is the intellectual story of a great witness of our times." - Romano Prodi, former President of the European Commission and former Prime Minister of Italy CONTENTS 1.

43 This book examines the credit needs and the borrowing behaviour of rural households in China in recent years. It is based on in-depth analysis of the status of households’ indebtedness and borrowing behaviour; the performance of Rural Credit Cooperatives (RCCs), as well as resources of informal finance. RCCs are virtually the only source of formal credit for rural households in China and were subject to a series of reforms from 1996 to 2003. The reforms aimed to transform RCCs into market-oriented institutions and, more importantly, help them meet the increasing demands of farmers for varied financial services, and thereby contribute effectively to economic transformation in rural China. Based on a micro-study of three villages, at different stages of development with dissimilar economic characteristics in Jiangxi province, this book investigates the sources of finance, formal and informal, in rural areas and the different types of credit that farmers require. It examines the patterns of credit required by rural households at different stages of agricultural processes, and the institutions from which they obtain loans. It demonstrates the importance of innovative institutional arrangements in rural China and new instruments that give farmers access to formal rural financial markets and enable them to utilize credit effectively, concluding that further reforms to RCCs are necessary for RCCs to be truly effective.

Road Map of China's Rise Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy
Angang Hu, Center for China Study, Beijing, China PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 512pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47992-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The growth of China’s economy in recent years has been extraordinary, and there has been a corresponding rise in China’s status in the world, and in China’s international political position. Angang Hu is one of the leading thinkers in China on how China’s strategy for growth should develop going forward, and his views on this provide important clues as to how the Chinese leadership is thinking and how policy and strategy will progress. In this book, translated from Chinese, Angang Hu surveys the factors which have contributed to China’s rise so far, and assesses China’s strengths and weaknesses in the key areas which will affect China’s rise going forward. The book is particularly interesting in that it takes a long term view of China’s economic development over several centuries, makes insightful comparisons with the rise (and fall) of other world powers including Britain, Germany, Japan and the United States, and assesses just how far any leading world power can dominate the world economy and world politics.

Asceticism and Power in South and Southeast Asia Royal Asiatic Society Books
Edited by Peter Flügel, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK and Gustaaf Houtman, Royal Anthropological Institute, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-42384-7; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Including analyses by top academics in the field, this book takes a unique look at questions of power and asceticism in the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist traditions of South and Southeast Asia. Ideas about power and purity in these three traditions are crucially related to ascetic practices. Paradoxically, asceticism is in these traditions conceived not only as a means of world-renunciation but also as a means of world-transformation. However, the way in which the conflictual relationship between these two aspects is conceptualized and organized varies historically and regionally and is subject of ongoing religious contests and political negotiations. This is the first book to provide a comparative analysis of the related traditions and their history in relation to the questions of power and legitimacy throughout contemporary Asia.

He embodies the significant passage from the speculative yearnings attendant on eighteenth century colonial expansion, to the professional, transnational ethos of nineteenth century intellectual life and scholarly enquiry. Written by renowned academics in the field of Indology, and drawing on new sources, this book traces, explains and evaluates Colebrooke's importance. This modern biography will contribute to the reassessment of Oriental studies that is currently taking place. CONTENTS

The Rise of the Ottoman Empire Royal Asiatic Society Books
Edited by Colin Heywood, University of Hull, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-7007-1500-8; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Wittek's The Rise of the Ottoman Empire was first published by the Royal Asiatic Society in 1938, and has been out of print for more than a quarter of a century. The opportunity has been taken at the present reissue of Wittek's 1937 London lectures to bring together in one volume translations of his other studies on Ottoman history, dating mainly from his Brussels years. The majority of these other studies – Two Chapters on the History of Rûm , The Sultan of Rûm , Religious Warriors in the early Ottoman State and From the Defeat at Ankara to the Conquest of Constantinople – were originally delivered in French (in one case German) at seminars or conferences in non-Nazi Europe in the mid to late 1930s. The journals in which they were originally published are for the most part inaccessible except in specialist libraries, it seems, in a period when Wittek's activities as an Ottoman historian are coming under increasing study within the Anglo-Saxon world of scholarship. In an increasingly monoglot age, his luminous and persuasive prose and historical insights should be made accessible to a wider English-reading audience. An edited introduction sets Wittek's work in its historical and historiographical context for the benefit of those students of later and present generations who were not privileged to experience it first hand.

This book studies the city and directly examines its built environment with relation to information and communications technology (ICT) development. The transformations taking place in Bangalore are occurring in many cities that are competing in the new informational economy. After a brief discussion of ICT development, its origins in Silicon Valley, California, and the informational urbanism that accompanies it, the book presents a history of Bangalore’s urban development and the emergence of the ICT industry there. Using this historical analysis and the geography of ICT development, the author identifies several case study areas where ICT development is transforming the built environment. In order to understand the various ways that ICT is influencing the built environment as well as how historical urban fabric continues to influence ICT development in unexpected ways, each case study area is analyzed in detail. As this ICT development increasingly transforms and taxes the social, cultural, and physical infrastructures of the city, it becomes progressively more unsustainable. The final chapter speculates on the future of informational urbanism and its sustainability as a social, political, economic and ecological model. Suggesting that the development in Bangalore over the last 20 years represents an informational cascade, the case studies illustrate that local information has the potential to alter the course of ICT development and therefore to overturn this informational cascade leading to a more sustainable urban future, one that profits from the city’s regional advantages.

46 www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56236-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the European Union’s policy towards the five Central Asian states, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The growing importance of Central Asia to the EU has been expressed by an increase in EU’s regional resource allocation and the formal specification of areas of co-operation between the EU and Central Asia, including human rights, trade, education, environmental issues and energy. The analysis focuses on the EU’s Central Asia strategy and provides an evaluation of the EU’s performance in meeting its policy goals in the region. In particular, the book identifies and assesses European interests in the region and introduces the EU’s set of instruments for safeguarding them. Against a set of performance indicators, the book examines the extent to which these interests have been achieved or are likely to be achieved in the short-and medium term. Furthermore, the book assesses the international environment in which the EU conducts its policy in Central Asia and identifies obstacles to and opportunities for the advancing of own interests through the presence of other international actors, such as , Russia, China, OSCE, and the United Nations, in the region. More generally, in providing substantial analysis of the fields in which the EU currently strengthens its engagement, the book contributes to a better understanding for the pitfalls of overall stability in Central Asia.

International Mobility and the Transformation of Global Capitalism Anthony P. D'Costa, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56495-3; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION International mobility is not new as people have moved throughout history, voluntarily and forcibly, for personal, familial, economic, and professional reasons. Yet, the mobility of technical talent in the global economy is a relatively new phenomenon, largely voluntary, structurally determined by market forces, and influenced by immigration policies. In particular, the rise of the new economy of information and communications technologies and tradable services has created an unprecedented demand for information technology workers and professionals. This economy also embodies the circulation of brain power, as opposed to simple brain drain of earlier decades, thereby inducing heightened competition among nations to secure and retain talent. This book demonstrates the processes underlying the uneven and interconnected development of the world economy by investigating the extent to which rich countries are becoming dependent on the supply of technical professionals from developing countries, the reasons for this reliance, the beneficiaries of such mobility, how institutions such as states and businesses are coping with talent imbalances at the national and global levels, and some of the inegalitarian social consequences of talent mobility. Based on this analysis the book provides both a theoretical and empirical understanding of the dynamics of the contemporary world economy, driven by the twin forces of exploitation of unskilled labor and economic mobilization of highly skilled professionals. In this accumulation model labor markets for technical talent are regulated by state intervention in technical education, immigration policies, and national mobilization of talent for international competitiveness.

47 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION From the re-emergence of Japan as an industrial power in the 1950s through to the contemporary rise of China as a potential economic-political behemoth, the story of East Asian development has been central to any serious analysis of the dynamics and trajectory of the global political economy. This book examines the key political-economic issues of East Asian development: the relation between the state and markets; the changing nature of economic governance and its relation to inequality; and the rise of China and its international consequences. Very few books consider the international consequences of China’s rise nor the relationship with inequality. This book engages with relevant issues and debates, written by an acknowledged expert in the field in an open, nontechnical language making it useful as an advanced textbook not only for East Asian studies, but more generally in international political economy and development studies. CONTENTS Introduction: Making Sense of East Asian Development. 1. On the Making of the East Asian Miracle. 2. The Role of the State in the Economic Transformation of East Asia. 3. Danger and Opportunity in the Asia Pacific. 4. The Economic Crises of the late 1990s.5. Governing Growth and Inequality: the relevance of strategic economic planning. 6. The Limits of Industrialisation in Malaysia (with Richard Phillips). 7. China and the Coming Global-Asian Era. Conclusion: East Asia in the 21 st Century.
Routledge Handbook of Central Asian Politics Edited by Reuel R. Hanks, Oklahoma State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $199.00; 246x174 mm; 368pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77676-9; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Since achieving independence in 1991, the five states of Central Asia have increasingly gained geopolitical, economic and strategic significance. There are several reasons for the region’s rise in importance. Geographic location, at the intersection of Russia, South Asia, China and the Middle East, gives Central Asia a crucial role in the relationships between all these key regions. The Central Asian countries clearly recognize their new role in the world, and in the last decade have entered into strategic alliances. The impact of the region on the global energy supply and markets, due to some countries holding potentially vast pools of oil and natural gas, is well documented, and the forward positioning of armed forces by the United States and Russia in Central Asia highlight the strategic dimension in the “war on terror.” The time period covered in the Handbook is contemporary, with a focus on the dynamics and causes behind current issues in the region. Central Asia here centres on the five former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. The book is structured around four general themes, which contain topically-focused chapters addressing the crucial components of each theme, across the five Central Asian states. This academic Handbook , produced by experts on the region’s complex politics, fill a void in the existing litereature. It is much needed to provide an in depth understanding of political issues in Central Asia. CONTENTS Introduction Part 1: Security and Stability 1. The Politicization of Islam 2.

Routledge Handbook of Indian Politics Edited by Atul Kohli, Princeton University, USA and Prerna Singh, Harvard University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $199.00; 246x174 mm; 480pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77685-1; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION India’s growing economic and socio-political importance on the global stage has triggered an increased interest in that country. Scholars, policy analysts, students and the curious layperson alike are keen to gain a basic understanding of the ways in which the world’s largest democracy functions. As a result, there is at present an unprecedented need for a ready reference that provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the central themes of Indian politics and this Handbook fills this niche. Chapters are structured along the themes of state, society, and the politics that links the two in the context of post-Independence India. In the section entitled ‘The State’ a spectrum of India’s leaders; institutions, such as political parties and federalism; economic growth and social development; and politics in different states are examined. The section on ‘Society’ analyzes identity politics; the relationship

48 between religion and society; and various aspects of civil society. The final section – ‘International Perspectives’ – analyzes India’s foreign relations as well as a selection of national security issues. The contributions are written by experts in their respective field, and consequently, the handbook offers an invigorating initiation into the seemingly daunting and complex terrain of Indian politics. It is targeted primarily towards academics, policy analysts, researchers and graduates as well as undergraduate students.

Written by experts in their respective areas, this Handbook introduces the reader to the politics of South Asia by presenting the prevailing agreements and disagreements in the literature. In the first two sections, the Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern political history of the states of the region and an overview of the independence movements in the former colonial states. The other sections focus on the political changes that have occurred in the postcolonial states since independence, as well as the successive political changes in Nepal during the same period, and the structure and functioning of the main governmental and non-governmental institutions, including the structure of the state itself (unitary or federal), political parties, the judiciary, and the military. Further, the contributors explore several aspects of the political process and political and economic change, especially issues of pluralism and national integration, political economy, corruption and criminalization of politics, radical and violent political movements, and the international politics of the region as a whole. This unique reference work provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the state of the field and is an invaluable resource for students and academics interested in South Asian Studies, South Asian Politics, Comparative Politics and International Relations.

Insidious Workplace Behavior Applied Psychology Series
Edited by Jerald Greenberg, Ohio State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £49.95 $79.95; 229x152 mm; 330pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-84872-858-5; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Insidious Workplace Behavior (IWB) refers to low-level, pervasive acts of deviance directed at individual or organizational targets. Because of its inherently stealthy nature, scientists have paid little attention to IWB, allowing us to know very little about it. With this book, that now is changing. The present volume—the first to showcase this topic—presents original essays by top organizational scientists who share the most current thinking about IWB. Contributors examine, for example, the many forms that IWB takes, focusing on its antecedents, consequences, and moderators. They also highlight ways that organizational leaders can manage and constrain IWB so as to attenuate its adverse effects. And to promote both theory and practice in IWB, contributors also discuss the special problems associated with researching IWB and strategies for overcoming them. Aimed at students, scholars, and practitioners in the organizational sciences—especially industrial-organizational psychology, organizational behavior, and human resource management—this seminal volume promises to be inspire research and practice for years to come.

Building Big Business in Russia BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Yuko Adachi, Sophia University, Japan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 190pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46339-3; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the development of big business in Russia since the onset of market oriented reform in the early 1990s. It explains how privatized post-Soviet enterprises, many of which made little sense as business units, were transformed into functional firms able to operate in the environment of a market economy. It provides detailed case studies of three key companies – Yukos Oil Company, Siberian (Russian) Aluminium and Norilsk Nickel – all of which played a key role in Russia’s economic recovery after 1998, describing how these companies were created, run and have developed. It shows how Russian businesses during the 1990s routinely relied on practices not entirely compatible with formal rules, in particular in the area of corporate governance. The book fully explores the critical role played by informal corporate governance practices - such as share dilution, transfer pricing, asset stripping, limiting shareholders access to votes, and bankruptcy ‘to order’ - as Russian big business developed during the 1990s. Unlike other studies on Russian corporate governance, this book highlights the ambiguous impact of informal corporate governance practices on the companies involved as commercial entities, and suggests that although their use proved costly to Russia’s business reputation, they helped core groups of owners/managers at the time to establish coherent business firms. Overall, the book shows that we cannot understand the nature of current economic changes in Russia without recognising the crucial role played by informal corporate governance practices in the creation and development of big business in post-Soviet Russia. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Russia’s Corporate Governance Abuses 3. Turning Post-Soviet Enterprises into Business Firms 4. Yukos: Building a Coherent Vertically Integrated Company 5.

Bubbles, Law and Financial Regulation The Economics of Legal Relationships
Erik F. Gerding, University of New Mexico, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77939-5; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book aims to unpack the complex economic relationships between law, asset price bubbles and financial regulation. The failure to thoroughly understand these interactions has had severe consequences, as law has proven ill-equipped to prevent or mitigate financial crises caused by bubbles. Bubbles represent prolonged, but unsustainable booms in the price of assets, such as securities or real estate. They form due to herd behavior by investors and other economic feedback loops. These same feedback loops render financial regulations designed for normal market conditions ineffective or counterproductive. Unpacking the interactions of bubbles and law reveals common threads among the epidemic of financial fraud in the Enron era, the subprime crisis, and previous financial crises throughout the world. A systematic examination of these interactions points to reforms for making regulation more effective and markets more stable. CONTENTS Chapter 1. The Economics of Bubbles, Chapter 2. A Historical Overview of Asset Price Bubbles and Laws, Chapter 3. Epidemics of Fraud and Bubbles: Explaining the Correlation, Chapter 4. The Cycle of Regulation and De-regulation, Chapter 5.

51 The Law and Economics approach to law dominates the intellectual discussion of nearly every doctrinal area of law in the US and its influence is growing steadily outside America as well. This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Richard Posner’s Economic Analysis of Law , the book that launched the Law and Economics movement. The sixth edition of the book was published earlier this year, this time competing against over twenty textbooks, collections and casebooks on law and economics. Although there has been phenomenal growth in this area questions remain. Why has Law and Economics movement become so successful? What is the current status of the Chicago School? What are the alternative theories and how much influence do they exert? What can be considered mainstream today? What are the norms and values underlying this impressive body of research? These issues, amongst others, are thoroughly explored by the contributors, including Posner himself, Gerrit de Geest and Thomas Ulen in this important book. CONTENTS Norms and Values in the Economic Approach to Law. Engagement with Economics: The New Hybrids of Family Law/Law and Economics Thinking. The Inevitability of Kaldor-Hicks Criterion. The Problematics of the Pareto Principle. Law, Economics and Society. New Institutional Economics and Legal Theory: Why New Institutional Economics Has Failed to Provide a Viable Alternative to the Law and Economics Movement. Choosing (Our)selves: The Limits of Identity and Interests in Law and Economics. Norms in Behavioral Law and Economics. The Theory of Value Dilemma: A Critique of the Economic Analysis of Criminal Law. Overcoming Law and Economics. Comparing Law and Economics to its Rivals.

Patent Policy The Economics of Legal Relationships
Pia Weiss, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48105-2; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Intellectual property rights have become increasingly important for our modern economies in recent years. Although the entire patent system has a profound effect on the decision of firms of whether to conduct research and at which volume, patent law is the heart of the entire patent system. Therefore, this book focuses on the economic effects of certain provisions in patent law by using economic models dedicated to patent policy. The first part of the book presents a brief overview over the history of patent systems and introduces the main components of modern patent systems. A short introduction of the principal provisions of US patent law constitutes the centre of the subsequent analysis as it serves as a link between law and economics. The second part presents core economic models for central provisions, collecting the most fundamental results in a national framework in the field of literature. Part three is concerned with selected provisions of patent law in an international framework. It provides valuable insights into the situation of developing countries which are the chief recipients of technology transfers. Patent Policy will be of interest to researchers interested in the field of modelling patent policy. It can be also used as supplementary text in courses in Industrial Organization, Innovation Economics and Law and Economics. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Development of Patent Systems and Philosophical Foundations 3. An Introduction to Patent Law and Policy Instruments 4. Statistical Facts and Empirical Evidence 5. The Optimal Patent Term 6. Patent Scope 7. Patent Breadth 8. The Nonobviousness Standard 9. New Patentable Subject Matters 10. Different Non-obviousness Standards
The Rule of Law The Economics of Legal Relationships
Edited by Maria Dakolias, the World Bank, Washington DC, USA and Sandra E. Oxner PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77253-2; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Foreign policy necessitates that many developing and developed countries advocate and promote the rule of law; the rule of law is seen as a sine qua non for development and peace. In this book Maria Dakolias and Sandra E. Oxner argue that the establishment of the rule of law if not a project but a value and that the challenge is achieving the broad objectives set out under the rule of law because until now it has been difficult to demonstrate success. Lack of demonstration, however, does not mean that time has been wasted. It simply means that it is now time to demonstrate how reforms related to the justice sector and the rule of law have and will continue to contribute to economic development. This book reflects an evolving methodology in the development of the rule of law, containing seven perspectives using different methods to demonstrate its impact. The main findings are that experience has given us opportunities to improve how rule of law is supported. However, there is no established methodology to measure success. These chapters contribute to the conversation of methods to evaluate and monitor reforms. It also provides a way to bring together practitioners and
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
52 academicians in their common search for methodologies that may be successful in demonstrating that rule of law can and does make a difference. It is also hoped that this work will stimulate further research and collaboration between practitioners and academicians. CONTENTS 1. How have the Objectives Evolved to Promoting the Rule of Law? 2. What has Influenced this Evolution? 3. What has been Achieved until Now? 4. What are the Greatest Difficulties/Risks Today? 5. What May Some of the Challenges be to Make Such Changes? 6. What Kind of Methodology Should be Promoted? 7. What Should the Priorities be in the Justice Sector Area? 8. What can be Expected in the Justice Sector in the Next Ten Years/Future?
The Bank for International Settlements Global Institutions
Kevin V. Ozgercin, SUNY College at Old Westbury, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $110.00; 216x138 mm; 196pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77929-6; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Despite playing a pivotal role in the liberalization and globalization of finance since the late 1950s, and being the principal center for bank supervision, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is perhaps the most obscure and under-researched of the major global financial institutions. This book offers readers the only available definitive guide to understanding the BIS’s identity and institutional make-up, as well as its role in the global financial system. It examines the internal governance and policy outputs of the BIS and provides a critical analysis of its evolution as the principal international center for central bank cooperation and the establishment international rules and standards for supervising internationally active banks. The BIS is often depicted as playing a supportive role to the IMF, G-8, World Bank, OECD, and regional development banks in the management of global finance. Ozgercin illuminates the role of the BIS in the existing architecture of global financial institutions, thus highlighting significant institutional differences. The proposed book will illustrate that compared to the other major global financial institutions, which are linked directly to governments through their treasuries, the BIS constitutes a uniquely independent, market-led approach to global financial governance, emphasizing the self-regulation of market institutions. A comprehensive yet concise and accessible introduction to the BIS, it will be of interest to students from a wide range of disciplines including Politics and International Studies, History, Sociology, Economics, and Finance.
Regional Development Banks Global Institutions
Jonathan Strand, University of Nevada, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $130.00; 216x138 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77594-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The regional development banks (RDBs) are important global institutions but often are overshadowed by more widely studied institutions such as the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF). In the past decade, high profile protests against World Bank, IMF, and World Trade Organization policies have overshadowed the political role of the RDBs. Designed to provide readers with the definitive guide to the RDBs, Jonathan Strand exposes the political nature of RDB development lending and demonstrates the need to include the RDBs in any discussion of reform of the global economic architecture. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. What are the Regional Development Banks? 3. Who Controls the Regional Development Banks? 4. Are Regional Development Bank Projects Effective? 5. How Do the Regional Development Banks Collaborate with Other IGOs? 6. What is the Relationship between the Regional Development Banks and Civil Society? 7. Conclusions

Most analyses of the evolution of the crisis invoke three themes, contagion, networks and trust, yet none of these play a major role in standard macroeconomic models. What is needed is a theory in which these
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
53 aspects are central. The direct interaction between individuals, firms and banks does not simply produce imperfections in the functioning of the economy but is the very basis of the functioning of a modern economy. This book suggests a way of analysing the economy which takes this point of view. The economy should be considered as a complex adaptive system in which the agents constantly react to, influence and are influenced by, the other individuals in the economy. In such systems which are familiar from statistical physics and biology for example, the behaviour of the aggregate cannot be deduced from the behaviour of the average, or "representative" individual. Just as the organised activity of an ants’ nest cannot be understood from the behaviour of a "representative ant" so macroeconomic phenomena should not be assimilated to those associated with the "representative agent". This book provides examples where this can clearly be seen. The examples range from Schelling’s model of segregation, to contributions to public goods, the evolution of buyer seller relations in fish markets, to financial models based on the foraging behaviour of ants. The message of the book is that coordination rather than efficiency is the central problem in economics. How do the myriads of individual choices and decisions come to be coordinated? How does the economy or a market, "self organise" and how does this sometimes result in major upheavals, or to use the phrase from physics, "phase transitions"? The sort of system described in this book is not in equilibrium in the standard sense, it is constantly changing and moving from state to state and its very structure is always being modified. The economy is not a ship sailing on a well-defined trajectory which occasionally gets knocked off course. It is more like the slime described in the book "emergence", constantly reorganising itself so as to slide collectively in directions which are neither understood nor necessarily desired by its components.

Public Goods: A coordination problem 6. Segregation: Schelling’s Model 7. Conclusion

The renewed interest in climate change and sustainability attests to the lack of progress achieved by the ‘sustainable development’ regime and to the need for more appropriate frameworks for guiding social organisation toward ecological sustainability. This book is born of the need for a critique of current approaches to environmental policy and governance and the search for alternative sustainability frameworks. Utilising a conceptual approach based on the Polanyian concept of ‘embeddedness’, this book argues that the links between economic theory, neo-liberalism, and the current regime of sustainable development, have rendered ‘sustainability’ a discursive frame in the

54 service of economic rather than ecological goals. In rejecting the integrity of ‘environmental neo-liberalism’, Paton argues there are some clear points of divergence between liberalism and neo-liberalism. She subsequently examines separately the impact on liberalism of efforts to integrate environmental concerns in order to determine if therein lies the potential for an effective reformist politics of ‘ecological sustainability’.

Worker Identity, Agency and Economic Development New Political Economy
Elizabeth Hill, University of Sydney, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56609-4; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION More than nine out of every ten working women in India are employed in the informal economy, unprotected by labour laws and excluded from basic forms of social security. They work as daily labourers in the fields, small producers and industrial outworkers in their own homes and as vendors on the streets. These workers typically receive very low wages and experience extreme forms of social, economic and political marginalisation. This book examines what types of interventions can improve the well-being of women working in the Indian informal economy. Using the case study of the Self Employed Women’s Association, Worker Identity, Agency and Economic Development argues that work-life reform for informal women workers has moral and social dimensions, as well as economic. Drawing on the work of social philosopher Axel Honneth, the book argues that worker agency is critical to the process of work-life reform in the informal economy. Using empirical data collected amongst SEWA members the study shows that there is a positive and developmental relationship between a worker’s identity, or psychological integrity, and her actual capacity to engage in the political economy for constructive change. The study shows that membership based organisations can promote the social foundations of recognition and respect that are critical to identity and agency, as well as provide worker’s with real opportunities to develop alternative non-exploitative economic institutions that deliver improved wages and social security. But in organizing informal workers for collective action the existing distribution of power and wealth, as well as gender privilege are challenged. The result is social conflict and sometimes violence. Conflict of this nature is endemic to the development process, but is often overlooked in development literature and policy design. The book will be of interest to development scholars and practitioners, as well as those interested in the dynamics of women’s empowerment and socio-economic change for informal economy workers.

Computable Foundations for Economics Routledge Advances in Experimental and Computable Economics
K. Vela Velupillai, University of Trento, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £100.00 $160.00; 234x156 mm; 512pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-35567-4; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Computable Foundations for Economics is a unified collection of essays, some of which are published here for the first time and all of which have been updated for this book, on an approach to economic theory from the point of view of algorithmic mathematics. By algorithmic mathematics the author means computability theory and constructive mathematics. This is in contrast to orthodox mathematical economics and game theory, which are formalised with the mathematics of real analysis, underpinned by what is called the ZFC formalism, i.e., set theory with the axiom of choice. This reliance on ordinary real analysis and the ZFC system makes economic theory in its current mathematical mode completely non-algorithmic, which means it is numerically meaningless. The book provides a systematic attempt to dissect and expose the non-algorithmic content of orthodox mathematical economics and game theory and suggests a reformalization on the basis of a strictly rigorous algorithmic mathematics. This removes the current schizophrenia in mathematical economics and game theory, where theory is entirely divorced from algorithmic applicability – for experimental and computational exercises. The chapters demonstrate the uncomputability and non-constructivity of core areas of general equilibrium

The book also provides a fresh look at the kind of behavioural economics that lies behind Herbert Simon’s work, and resurrects a role for the noble classical traditions of induction and verification, viewed and formalised, now, algorithmically. It will therefore be of particular interest to postgraduate students and researchers in algorithmic economics, game theory and classical behavioural economics. CONTENTS Part I: Foundations 1.

Residents did not just suffer the personal costs of a home that had been severely damaged or destroyed; frequently they also lost their entire neighbourhood and the social systems that under normal circumstances made their lives "work". Katrina raised the questions of whether and how communities could solve the complex social coordination problems catastrophic disaster poses, and what inhibits them from doing so? Professor Chamlee-Wright investigates not only the nature of post-disaster recovery, but the nature of the social order itself – how societies are able to achieve a level of complex social coordination that far exceeds our ability to design. By deploying the tools of both political economy and cultural economy, the book contributes to the bourgeoning literature on the social, political and economic impact of Hurricane Katrina. Through a selection of case studies, the author argues that post-disaster resilience depends crucially upon the discovery that unfolds within commercial and civil society. The book will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and researchers in economics, sociology and anthropology as well as disaster specialists.

The goal is to provide an analysis of environmental problems and their potential solutions that environmentalists as well as others can trust, because it is pluralistic, non-dogmatic and committed to the values of ecological sustainability, economic justice, and human dignity. This book will provide those who are frustrated with the mainstream’s treatment of environmental issues alternative tools for identifying how to change institutions and policies to better preserve and restore the natural environment in ways that are more, rather than less equitable, using decision making procedures that are more, rather than less democratic.

The psychological process wherein consumers actively make sense of advertising and branding and integrate them with living is fundamentally important in thinking about their responses to product sold on screen. This wide-ranging book draws on forty years of media and marketing theory to present a precise perception of that process, a seven stage model of 'moments' in media marketing reception. Local understandings of global branding and marketing content traveling—often from West to East—is the main focus of Global Advertising, Attitudes and Audiences. Drawing from diverse reception studies of creative consumption, Tony Wilson develops a philosophical psychology of purchasing, testing theory against shared consumer responses in online blogospheres and offline interviews. Successive chapters interpret reception of banking, fast food, national, telecommunications and university global branding by Chinese, Indian and Islamic Malay consumers in multi-cultural Malaysia, an Anglophone gateway to S.E. Asia. These studies are used to illustrate how people view the 'worlds' constructed by product branding. CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. Audiences Articulating Advertising. Chapter 2.

Adopting a comparative approach, the chapters explore and reinterpret the impact of social enterprises on the provision of general-interest services, work integration, microfinance, and fair trade, and show how these enterprises form the hub of an emerging economy of social responsibility. The book provides a new interpretation of social enterprises as entrepreneurial organizations that pursue social objectives and are successful due to the non-self-seeking motives of their members. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students, professionals working in the not-for-profit sector, and scholars interested in socially responsible economics. It is particularly suitable for seminars and workshops focusing on the management of not-for-profit organizations, sustainable development, and globalization.

58 It has always been an important task of economics to assess individual and social welfare. The traditional approach has assumed that the measuring rod for welfare is the satisfaction of the individual’s given and unchanging preferences, but recent work in behavioural economics has called this into question by pointing out the inconsistencies and context-dependencies of human behaviour. When preferences are no longer consistent, we have to ask whether a different measure for individual welfare can, and should, be found. This book goes beyond the level of preference and instead considers whether a hedonistic view of welfare represents a viable alternative, and what its normative implications are. Offering a welfare theory with stronger behavioural and evolutionary foundations, Binder follows a naturalistic methodology to examine the foundations of welfare, connecting the concept with a dynamic theory of preference learning, and providing a more realistic account of human behaviour. This book will be of interest to researchers and those working in the fields of welfare economics, behavioural and evolutionary economics. CONTENTS 1.Introduction, 2.

Existing theoretical frameworks in public management fail to address these features, relying more heavily on attempts to eliminate unpredictability through increased reliance on measurable performance objectives, improved financial and human resource management techniques, decentralisation of authority and accountability and resolving principal-agent behaviour pathologies. Essentially, these are all attempts to improve the ‘steering’ capacity of public sector managers and policy makers. By adopting a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) approach to public services, this book shifts the focus from developing steering techniques to identifying patterns of behaviour of the participants with the ultimate objective of increasing policy-makers’ and practitioners’ understanding of the factors that may enable more effective public service decision-making and provision. The authors apply a CAS framework to a series of case studies in public sector management to generate new insights into the issues, processes and participants in public service domains.

More recently it has taken on greater significance for other subjects as well, addressing issues for public policy and management more broadly. These include the issues of the nature of accountability in the contemporary plural state, environmental and societal sustainability, the ethical management and governance of public services and resources, and the creation and sustenance of social capital as an essential element of the modern plural state. Social Accounting and Public Management brings together for the first time researchers from a range of disciplines including accounting, political science, management, sociology and policy studies to discuss and develop our knowledge and theory of the nature of ‘accountability’ in contemporary global society and the challenges it may pose for public policy and management. This book addresses this nexus of all of these issues and disciplines, and through this, makes a contribution to the development of the disciplines of both social accounting and public policy and management.

During the period from 1945 to 2005, the United Kingdom underwent two deep-seated institutional transformations – roughly starting around 1945 and 1979 respectively – when political elites successfully challenged the prevailing wisdom on how to govern the economy, and in so doing, managed to change the basic terms of the political debate. Clement Attlee and Margaret Thatcher emerge as the "innovators" who were able to effectively implement most of their political platforms. During these periods there were two other opportunities to seriously challenge existing institutional

60 arrangements. Edward Heath won the general election in 1970 promising a dramatic overhaul of Britain’s institutions, only to fail miserably in 1972 when he was forced to take a U-turn; and Tony Blair’s New Labour, winning a larger majority in 1997 than Attlee in 1945, did not achieve a major break with the ‘Thatcherite’ settlement. Rather than simply retell the story of British economic policymaking since World War II, this book offers a theoretically informed version of events, which draws upon the literatures on institutional path dependence, economic constructivism and political economy to explain this puzzle. This manuscript departs from the conventional wisdoms that have accumulated on British economic governance over the years in several respects and makes significant contributions to critical literatures in the fields of political science and political economy.

The International Tin Cartel Routledge Explorations in Economic History

The onset of the depression of the 1930s saw a collapse in commodity prices, and governments of tin producing countries decided to form a cartel to return the industry to comparative prosperity. This is a detailed study of how the tin industry found itself in difficulty and how the cartel developed its policies of control over production and stocks, together with its enduring legacy after World War II. This study of a cartel brings together two levels of analysis that are normally kept separate; international cooperation, and national organization, and demonstrates how each affected the other. It is based on a comprehensive review of a wide range of archival sources which are sufficiently rich and frank that they provide an insider’s sense of how a cartel actually worked. CONTENTS 1.

Labour-Intensive Industrialization in Global History Routledge Explorations in Economic History
Edited by Gareth Austin, London School of Economics, UK and Kaoru Sugihara, Kyoto University, Japan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45552-7; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This volume calls for a major rethinking of our understanding of industrialization for global history, by bringing the East Asian experience of ‘labour-intensive’ industrialization into focus and, thereby, reinterpreting both the western experience of ‘capitalintensive’ industrialization and the equally distinctive experiences of countries in other regions of Asia and in Africa and Latin America. We argue that the absorption of labour into ‘labour-intensive’ industries, both traditional and modern, and the improvement of the quality of labour formed a central mechanism of global diffusion of industrialization. This volume presents a discussion on the significance of labour-intensive industrialization by leading economic historians engaged in the development of synthesizing theses and/or specializing in relevant regions, and seeking to foster the new academic dialogue on global economic history.
Privatization and Transition in Russia Routledge Explorations in Economic History

Some see it as the foundation of political and economic freedom. For others it was economics gone wrong, and ended in "Russians stealing money from their own country". As Russia reasserts itself, and its new brand of capitalism, it is ever more important that policy makers and scholars understand the roots of the economic structure and governance of that country; what was decided, who made the decisions and why, what actually transpired, and what implications this has for the future of Russia. This work, written by two senior advisors to the Russian government, has unique access to documentation, tracking the decision making process in the Russian Mass Privatization process. By close reference to events, and supplemented by interviews with many of the key participants, it shows that the policies adopted were often influenced and shaped by different forces than those cited by current popular accounts. The book challenges the interpretation of Russian privatization by some of the West’s most eminent economists. It underlines that economists of all schools, who bring assumptions from the West to the analysis of Russia, may reach false or misleading conclusions. It is an essential guide for anyone interested in Russian economic reform, and anyone who seeks to understand this enigmatic country, and its actions today.

The South Sea Bubble Routledge Explorations in Economic History
Helen Paul, University of Southampton, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $120.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46973-9; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The South Sea Bubble of 1720 is a famous morality tale. Shares in the South Sea Company rose steeply in price. The whole stock market followed. Share prices then crashed and the resulting furore was exploited by Robert Walpole in his bid for power. The South Sea Company was accused of fraudulently leading gullible investors to waste their money on a slaving project which could not work. It has been assumed that the investors were struck by a gambling mania. However, this classic story has questioned by financial historians. This book makes the lessons from financial theory comprehensible to non-specialists. It combines these insights with qualitative evidence to show how the Georgians actually behaved. It explains why a bubble could occur without a gambling mania being to blame. There are strong reasons why investors would be attracted to the company and to share-trading. They include the possibilities of gain from the slave trade and smuggling into Spanish America. However, there were reasons for the public outcry. Behavioural finance shows that people complain more about losses than an equivalent gain. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. The history of the South Sea Company 3. The functioning of the market 4.

Richard E. Wagner, George Mason University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77996-8; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Economics originated as a branch of the humane studies that was concerned with trying to understand how some societies flourish while others stagnate, and also how once-flourishing societies could come to stagnate. Over the major part of the 20 th century, however, economists mostly turned away from these humane and societal concerns by importing mechanistic ideas from 19 th century physics. This book seeks to show how that original humane and social focus can be renewed. The many particular topics the book examines can be traced to two central ideas. Firstly, that economic theory, like physics, requires two distinct theoretical frameworks. One treats qualities that are invariant across time and place; this is the domain of equilibrium theory. The other treats the internal generation of change in societies through entrepreneurial action that continually transforms the ecology of enterprises that constitutes a society. Secondly, economic theory is treated as a genuine social science and not a science of rationality writ large. The book also explores ways in which life in society is understood differently once economics is treated as a social science. The book will be useful

Computable, Constructive and Behavioural Economic Dynamics Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Edited by Stefano Zambelli, Trento University, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 560pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49263-8; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The book contains thirty original articles dealing with important aspects of theoretical as well as applied economic theory. While the principal focus is on: the computational and algorithmic nature of economic dynamics; individual as well as collective decision process and rational behavior, some contributions emphasize also the importance of classical recursion theory and constructive mathematics for dynamical systems, business cycles theories, growth theories, and others are in the area of history of thought, methodology and behavioural economics. The contributors range from Nobel Laureates to the promising new generation of innovative thinkers. This volume is also a Festschrift in honour of Professor Kumaraswamy Vela Velupillai, the founder of Computable Economics, a growing field of research where important results stemming from classical recursion theory and constructive mathematics are applied to economic theory. The aim and hope is to provide new tools for economic modelling. This book will be of particular appeal to postgraduate students and scholars in one or more of the following fields: computable economics, business cycles, macroeconomics, growth theories, methodology, behavioural economics, financial economics, experimental and agent based economics. It might be also of importance to those interested on the general theme of algorithmic foundations for social sciences. CONTENTS Prelude 1.

63 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Principle of Large Numbers indicates that macro fluctuations have weak microfoundations; persistent business cycles and interrupted technologies can be better characterized by macro vitality and meso foundations. Economic growth is limited by market extent and ecological constraints. The trade-off between stability and complexity is the foundation of cultural diversity and mixed economies. The new science of complexity sheds light on the sources of economic instability and complexity. This book consists of the major work of Professor Ping Chen, a pioneer in studying economic chaos and economic complexity. The chapters are selected from works completed since 1987, including original research on evolutionary dynamics of division of labor, empirical and theoretical studies of economic chaos, and stochastic models of collective behavior. Offering a new perspective on market instability and the changing world order, the basic pillars in equilibrium economics are challenging by solid evidence of economic complexity and time asymmetry, including Friedman’s theory of exogenous money and efficient market, the Frisch model of noise-driven cycles, the Lucas model of microfoundations and rational expectations, the Black-Scholes model of option pricing, and the Coase theory of transaction costs. Throughout, a general framework based on complex evolutionary dynamics is developed, which integrates different insights from Smith, Malthus, Marx, Schumpeter, and Keynes and others a new understanding of the evolutionary history of division of labor. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in Economics, including macroeconomics, financial economics, advanced econometrics, and economic methodology. CONTENTS 1.

The aim of this book is to examine the place of culture in different schools of thought within economics, with respect to the question of development and thereby fill a conspicuous gap in economic literature. In postcolonial theory, culture is the primary analytical category whereas the problem of economy has been the weakest link in an array of path-breaking arguments. Although postcolonial theory has neglected the economic dimension of culture, it has succeeded in producing tremendous insights on issues of cross-cultural hegemony and the role of knowledge construction in this process. In this book, Zein-Elabdin carries the project further by borrowing some of the insights from postcolonial theory to call for a more profound rethinking of the place of culture and of currently devalued cultures in economic theory.

64 www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56423-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is a discourse on modelling Man in a social context. Its focus is on economic main-stream theory in its capacity to handle basic problems such as uncertainty, social dynamics and ethics. The point of departure is a systematic critique of the specific methodology of economics and its axiomatic structure. The ultimate aim is to develop an economic theory for a socially sustainable society. Economic Theory and Social Change analyses the foundation of economic market theory in relation to its social implications. On rejecting the axiomatic structure of the market theory Hasse Ekstedt and Angelo Fusari analyse the concept of growth and uncertainty with respect to a more realistic modelling of man, The book also addresses central political problems and their potential solutions, including permanent unemployment, distribution of income, the interaction of real and financial growth, money and the credit system. In seeking objective values to help to obtain a socially sustainable society, the book traces a tentative revision of economic and social thought based on a deepening of some crucial features of modern economies and societies. These features include innovation, the connected flows of uncertainty, entrepreneurship, and their role in fuelling and characterizing economic growth and development. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers of Economics, particularly to those focussing on Economic Theory and Political Economy. CONTENTS Introduction 1. The Method of Social Theory: Suggestions for a Shared Basic View 2. Homo Œconomicus Versus Homo Politucus 3.

William Kapp was one of the leading 20 th century institutionalists and a founding member of the Association for Evolutionary Economics. This book was developed by Kapp and is his attempt to present the foundations of institutional economics though has remained unfinished and unpublished during the last 30 years since his death. Carefully edited with additional material from some of Kapp’s other major works and with a full introduction from Sebasitan Berger and Rolf Steppacher, this book represents a major reappraisal of Kapp’s contribution and legacy. Kapp’s great accomplishment lies in extracting the crucial elements of Veblen’s theory and in showing the links to second generation institutionalists’ theories of Myrdal, Galbraith, Polanyi and Clark. Thoroughly explored in this volume are the analytical concepts of institutions and institutional change, technological dynamics and capital formation, the multi-sector economy and the domination effect, the principle of circular and cumulative causation, social costs and substantive rationality.

The Global Economic Crisis Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Edited by Emiliano Brancaccio, University of Sannio, Italy and Giuseppe Fontana, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58661-0; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Why did the economists of the neoclassical mainstream fail to foresee the worldwide economic crisis that exploded in 2008? And why do they appear to have difficulty in putting forward any interpretation of it consistent with the theoretical foundations of their models? These two questions have echoed insistently ever since the outbreak of the great recession, not only in academic circles but also in the mass media, and appear to reflect increasingly widespread dissatisfaction with the neoclassical paradigm of economic theory. Many believe, however, that the great recession now underway may constitute a historic watershed also for the evolution of economics and therefore that an authentic change of paradigm is called for rather than minor adjustments to the dominant neoclassical approach. This book constitutes a collection of new work from the Italian schools of critical thought that promises reinterpretations of the primary schools of heterodox economics, stringent critiques of the mainstream readings of the recession, new models of theoretical and empirical analysis of the crisis, and proposals for economic policies alternative to those hitherto adopted.

This relationship is rather complex and it is to some extent intuitive but also partly surprising This book provides a stringent interpretation of this evidence and shows that it can be understood with the help of a handful of psychological and economic effects. To make sense of this evidence, it is necessary to have a sound conception of happiness that recognizes the ethical dimension of the concept, and Hirata does this by presenting happiness as a hedonic experience and evaluative exercise arguing that happiness is an important indicator that helps identify life concerns that really matter to people but that good development in society cannot be reduced to a matter of maximizing happiness.

A macroeconomic policy regime consists of four areas: monetary, fiscal, wage policy and external sector. This book presents the theoretical derivations and an exact definition of a macroeconomic regime and its elements, and proves it empirically. This book includes case studies on the development of macroeconomics regimes in large developed countries: Great Britain and the United States show examples of positive development, whereas Japan and Germany show rather dysfunctional development. Drawing on Keynesian monetarism, the authors argues that

Johan J. Graafland, Tilburg University, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; ÂŁ90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56127-3; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The past two decades of market operation has generated welfare and economic growth in Western countries, but increasing income inequalities, depletion of the natural environment and the current financial crisis have led to an intense debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the free market. With this book, Professor Graafland makes a valuable contribution to the Christian debate about the market economy. In particular, it aims to clarify the links between ethical values, Christian belief and economics, as well as informing theologians and economists about recent economic insights into market operation. The book investigates the effect of free market operation on welfare and well-being, calling into question why one would favour more market competition as a means of increasing happiness. As well as this, Professor Graafland examines how free market competition relates to principles of justice and looks at whether it enforces or crowds out Christian virtues like love, humility and temperance. Books that systematically link biblical teaching about the economy to recent theoretical and empirical research in economics on free market operation are rare. Most Christian books on the market system are theologically oriented, lacking a sound basis in the extensive knowledge of the recent economic literature on market operation. This book confronts Christian ethical standards with current economic literature on the effects of market operation on welfare, happiness, human rights, inequality and virtues in order to develop a well-based and balanced view of the pros and cons of market operation. This book will be of interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate students of economics, philosophy and theology. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. The market and welfare 3. The market and justice 4.

Monetary Macrodynamics Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Toichiro Asada, Chuo University, Japan, Carl Chiarella, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, Peter Flaschel, Bielefeld University, Germany and Reiner Franke, University of Kiel, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; ÂŁ100.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 448pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54837-3; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book investigates the interaction of effective goods demand with the wage-price spiral, and the impact of monetary policy on financial and the real markets from a Keynesian perspective. Endogenous business fluctuations are studied in the context of long-run distributive cycles in an advanced, rigorously formulated and quantitative setup. The material is developed by way of self-contained chapters on three levels of generality, an advanced textbook level, a research-oriented applied level and on a third level that shows how the interaction of real with financial markets has to be modelled from a truly integrative Keynesian perspective. Monetary Macrodynamics shows that the balanced growth path of a capitalist economy is unlikely to be attracting and that the cumulative forces that surround it are controlled in the large by changes in the behavioural factors that drive the wage-price spiral and the financial markets. Such behavioural changes can in fact be observed in actual economies in the interaction of demand-driven business fluctuations with supply-driven wage and price dynamics as they originate from the conflict over income distribution between capital and labour. The book is a detailed critique of US mainstream macroeconomics and uses rigorous dynamic macro-models of a descriptive and applicable nature. It will be of particular relevance to postgraduate students and researchers interested in disequilibrium processes, real wage feedback channels, financial markets and portfolio choice, financial accelerator mechanisms and monetary policy.

The Moral Rhetoric of Political Economy Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Paul Turpin, Gustavus Adolphus College, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77392-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Two of the most important economics treatise are Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations and Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom . In this book, Paul Turpin provides a rhetorical analysis of these texts arguing that both Smith and Friedman use argumentative and narrative depictions of character to reinforce a sense of societal decorum as a stabilizing foundation for their theories of liberal political economy. The comparison of Smith and Friedman by itself is a major contribution to the development of the history of economic thought. It adds a new, historical, depth to the heterodox analyses and critiques of twentieth century economics by writers such as Giocoli and Mirowski. The issue of the social constitution of identity, which is at the core of this book, is a hot topic in economic methodology and as such this book by a promising young historian of economic thought will be roundly applauded. CONTENTS 1. Liberal Political Economy: Distributive Justice, Decorum, and Moral Rhetoric 2. Sympathy and Justice in Theory of Moral Sentiments 3. Sympathy and Moral Horizons in Wealth of Nations 4.

Scholars and professionals recognize that even after allowing for the differences between businesses and political organizations, our best efforts to improve performance continue to disappoint. Clearly, policy analysis is missing something. In a careful analysis of US federal agencies, examining the interaction between executive and legislative branches of government and between political appointees and civil servants, Richardson argues that policy makers should look to selectively relax constraints that may prevent experimentation needed to determine the most effective methods. The author combines an Austrian definition of economics and a Public Choice explanation of bureaucratic behavior with an Evolutionary Economics methodology to address questions that will be of interest to public administration scholars and political economists alike.

This new book fills the gap. Dannreuther argues that this increased interest from political science in the institutional aspects of policy-making indicates a concern for the role of habitual and socially supported logics of action that may be a more appropriate way of explaining SME policy. Showing that the concept of legitimacy is central to recent political science writing on the New Institutionalism in Political Science, the author applies this theoretical framework to the following three arenas of political activity, which are central to understanding policy-making in contemporary Europe: the identification and formation of societal interest the making of national decisions the development of policy in the European Union. In this well-written and incisive text, Dannreuther concludes that, in addition to explaining SME policy and providing a framework for future analysis, the evolutionary approach outlined in The Political Economy of the Small Firm has much broader potential uses in the understanding of policy-making in a global society.

Post Keynesian Microeconomic Theory Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Frederic Lee, University of Missouri, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; ÂŁ65.00 $120.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-24731-3; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The purpose of this book is to delineate Post Keynesian microeconomic theory. More specifically, the objective is to build the theoretical core of Post Keynesian microeconomics that can then be used by other Post Keynesians in their work. Hence the book is about theory creation as opposed to delineating what is currently accepted, with an emphasis on business enterprise, production, costs, pricing and prices, markets, market governance, market demand, and distribution of income. The book begins with a historical understanding of the origins of Post Keynesian economics and an awareness of the range of different and similar ideas that contributed to the development of Post Keynesian microeconomics. This book is unusal however to the extent that it refers more to theory than specific theorists, grounding each component of the core theory in empirical evidence. The conceptual organization of the book is based on a critical realist perspective of identifying structures and causal mechanisms, examining Post Keynesian microeconomics as it currently stands.

The Practices of Happiness Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Edited by Ian Steedman, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, John R. Atherton and Elaine Graham, both of University of Manchester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55097-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There is growing evidence that rising levels of prosperity in Western economies since 1945 have not been matched by greater incidences of reported well-being and happiness. Indeed, material affluence is often accompanied instead by greater social and individual distress. A growing literature within the humanities and social sciences is increasingly concerned to chart not only the underlying trends in recorded levels of happiness, but to consider what factors, if any, contribute to positive and sustainable experiences of well-being and quality of life. Increasingly, such research is focusing on the importance of values and beliefs in human satisfaction or quality of life; but the specific contribution of religion to these trends is relatively under-examined. This unique collection of essays seeks to rectify that omission, by identifying the nature and role of the religious contribution to wellbeing. A unique collection of nineteen leading scholars from the field of economics, psychology, public theology and social policy have been brought together in this volume to explore the religious contribution to the debate about happiness and well-being. These essays explore the religious dimensions to a number of key features of well-being, including marriage, crime and rehabilitation, work, inequality, mental health, environment, participation, institutional theory, business and trade. They engage particularly closely with current trends in economics in identifying alternative models of economic growth which focus on its qualitative as well as quantitative dimensions. This distinctive volume brings to public notice the nature and role of religion’s contribution to wellbeing, including new ways of measurement and evaluation. As such, it represents a valuable and unprecedented resource for the development of a broadbased religious contribution to the field. It will be of particular relevance for those who are concerned about the continuing debate about personal and societal well-being, as well as those who are interested in the continuing significance of religion for the future of public policy.

Rationality and Explanation in Economics Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Maurice Lagueux, University of Montréal, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55121-2; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Economical questions indisputably occupy a central place in everyday life. In order to clarify these questions, people generally turn to those who are familiar with economics. In answering such legitimate questions, economists propose explanations which rest on a few principles among which the rationality principle is by far the most fundamental. This principle assumes that people are rational, but what is meant by this has to be specified. Rationality and Explanation in Economics claims that only a minimal kind of rationality is required to ‘animate’ economic explanations. However, such a conception of rationality faces serious objections: it is closely associated with harshly criticised methodological individualism and it is not easily disentangled from sheer irrationality. The book answers these objections and shows that the economists’ way of mobilising the concepts of maximization or of consistency for defining rationality raises more serious problems. Since the latter have encouraged various attempts to downgrade or even to dispense with the very notion of rationality, the book is largely devoted to countering arguments associated with these attempts and to show why postulating that agents are rational is still the only efficient way to explain economic phenomena as such. The author also proposes original views about the role of rationality, the meaning of methodological individualism, the relevance of the selection argument and the relation between ‘rational’ explanations of economics and explanations in natural sciences.

Wage Policy, Income Distribution, and Democratic Theory Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy
Oren M. Levin-Waldman, Metropolitan College of New York, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77971-5; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Wage policy can be broadly defined as a set of institutions designed to bolster the wages of workers, especially for those workers who lack negotiating power. This book concentrates on the relationship between wage policy and the distribution of income and the maintenance of a sustainable democracy. Whereas economists have looked at this issue in relation to labour markets, this book aims to reset the balance by focusing on issues such as equality and democratic theory. This book makes an important contribution to the literature of public policy, political philosophy and political economy. Levin-Waldman argues that wage policy is an important component in the maintenance of democratic society and that a reduction in income inequality can have a positive effect both on personal autonomy and empowerment.

In this book the contributors redress this glaring omission in the history of political economy, for the first time providing an overview of developments in Irish political economy from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Logistically this is achieved through the provision of individual contributions from a group of recognized experts, both Irish and international, who address the contribution of major historical figures in Irish political economy along the analysis of major thematic issues, schools of thought and major policy debates within the Irish context over this extended period.

But cultural differences remain and challenge globalized knowledge communication and transfer. This book examines cross-cultural management within multinational enterprises (MNEs), focusing in particular on how cultural differences influence the transfer of
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
73 knowledge between different units within individual corporations. Based on detailed empirical analysis of 267 companies in Germany and Japan, it considers the relative effectiveness of inter-cultural and intra-cultural knowledge transfer; identifies the factors that inhibit or facilitate successful knowledge transfer; and suggests how management processes of MNEs can be improved. It demonstrates that although cultural differences do not necessarily influence the selection and transmission of knowledge overseas, they do have a strong impact on how that knowledge is received, integrated and put into practice locally. The book shows how knowledge is accepted differently in Europe and Asia and which factors have the strongest impact on efficient knowledge transfer. It suggests that to improve cross-cultural management MNEs should focus less on upgrading the technology that allows knowledge transfer, and more on the capabilities and beliefs of individual employees.

Since 9/11 the Western model has faced new ideological, institutional, and cultural challenges while the free-market economy no longer appears to be a universal panacea. Whatever the economic destiny of western civilization, however, does state-owned enterprise once again have a future? The collection of essays in this volume – prepared by some of the leading authorities in the field – offers a contribution to this debate by providing a balanced assessment of two of the most relevant experiences of mixed economies, the United Kingdom and Italy. As different as they are with regard to timing and background, a comparison between the two countries can nevertheless offer precious insights. At the general level it can throw new light on the motives, the directions, and the outcomes of nationalization. At the specific level, the essays have been conceived in order to allow a balanced comparison between the two experiences, especially for those sectors more affected by State intervention in the two countries (oil, energy, steel, shipbuilding) and to the nature of government’s actions. No other volume offers such an insightful, detailed analysis of SOE performance and possibilities for other major European nations. CONTENTS 1. F. Amatori, R. Millward and P. A.

The contributors provide an historical account of the contribution of brands in consumer goods to economic growth; examine the development of trademark law, its influence on brand strategy, and reciprocally the influence of strategy on the law; and look at the building and repositioning of individual brands as example of the interplay of law and strategy. Brands and trademarks are usually discussed from the perspective of marketing. This book draws together scholars and practitioners not only from marketing, but also from business history, law, economics, and economic history to provide a richer understanding of trade marks and competitiveness than has hitherto been available.

The book covers a range of issues including knowledge accumulation and use for health and what it means for sustainable late development, innovation (both in terms of technological innovation and process and organisational innovation to ensure health delivery) and the role of states and institutions, as well as the meaning and consequence of locally relevant "knowledge infrastructure". The book, for the first time, presents empirical findings from six countries across Asia and Africa on health innovation, namely, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria. The book concludes that the growth of knowledge and the accumulation of capabilities influence the ability of a country to generate wealth. CONTENTS Part I: Overview, 1.

Edited by James Alm and Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, both of Georgia State University, USA and Benno Torgler, Queensland University of Technology, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57698-7; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Over the last several decades, there has been a growing interest in theoretical, empirical, and experimental work on all aspects of tax compliance and tax evasion. The essays in this volume summarize the existing state of knowledge of tax compliance and tax evasion, present new thinking about this issue, and analyze the empirical relevance of these new perspectives. The original essays in this volume represent an attempt to provide a framework on compliance that moves beyond the economics-of-crime perspective, one that provides a more complete understanding of individual (and group) decisions, and one that is more consistent with empirical evidence. It is the insights of behavioural economics that provide much of the bases for these essays and the main theme running through this

International Tax Coordination Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking
Edited by Martin Zagler, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56948-4; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION International taxation is a major research topic, and for a field of research at the intersection of so many disciplines there has been surprisingly little done across disciplinary boundaries. This book fills the gap by combining teams from business, economics, information science, law and political science to offer a unique and innovative approach to the issue of international tax coordination. All the chapters are written in collaboration between at least two authors from two different disciplines. This approach offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the many issues of international tax coordination. The book collects seven papers, each one a valuable contribution in itself, beginning with current problems of international taxation and finishing with potential solutions. The essays explore current EU legislation, tax avoidance and tax fraud, as well as double tax agreements, dividend repatriation and hybrid finance and tax planning. Providing methodological answers to the question of how to conduct interdisciplinary research, the book also gives an accessible introduction into research questions and answers that are important in related disciplines for scholars in various areas. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in the fields of economics, business, informational science, law and political science, as well as to professional accountants and tax lawyers.

This new edition collects contributions from leading policy makers and practitioners to reflect on the aims and objectives of monetary policy and on what it can achieve, combining the old chapters from the likes of Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Kenneth Clarke, Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson with new perspectives from Mervyn King, Jean-Claude Trichet, Ernst Welteke, Otmar Issing, and Alastair Darling. A new far reaching introduction from the editors Forrest Capie and Geoffrey Wood puts these important contributions to the discussion of economic policy in the new context. What lessons can be learnt from these earlier discussions? What anticipations of present difficulties can be found in them? What, in other words, does the comparatively recent past teach us about how to deal with the turbulent present?

79 marketing communication. Yet, what exactly is meant by interactivity in these contexts and how far does it represent a revolution in the methodologies of marketing? Anchoring his analysis in a critique of the assumptions of control embedded in current marketing communication models and the rhetorical analysis of exemplar texts from the Marketing Management, Customer Relationship Management, Viral Marketing and Buzz Marketing paradigms, Chris Miles investigates the constructions and reconstructions of discourse that surround the uses of interactivity in contemporary marketing discourses. In doing so, he offers a radical new model of marketing based upon a recursive, constructivist understanding of communication that uses metaphors of invitation and exploration to rebuild interactivity at the center of marketing. The work culminates in a reading of the theory of Relationship Marketing that uses autism as an allegory to interrogate the communicative paradox at the heart of this contemporary marketing panacea.

Skålén focuses in particular on the managerial research tradition and managerial practice referred to as service marketing (sometimes service management), which is seen as a ‘dominant managerial logic’ by many marketing scholars. Skålén analyzes the governmentality of service marketing through textual representations of managerial marketing and a case study of a service organization. Based on the former, the author argues that managerial marketing has always promoted and fostered customer orientation as the main governmental rationality and that this rationality in service marketing targets human beings more exclusively than previously. This book contributes to critical marketing research since this research tradition lacks studies of empirical responses to managerial marketing which articulate a radical social critique.

The late nineteenth century was a period of intensive activity in terms of both imperialism and professionalisation. A team of expert contributors has examined profession-state engagements between Britain, on the one hand and Canada, South Africa, Australia, Nigeria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, India and Kenya, and the other with a view to assessing how the organizations of accountancy in the colonies was affecting the metropolitan profession and state agents- and vice versa. Their contributions highlight the peculiarities of the professionalization processes in variant social, economic and political environments linked together by the relays of empire, prompting reflection on both the common and disparate dynamics involved. This book has numerous objectives, including giving historical insight and focus on countries that provide contrasting and variant examples of the uptake of the "British model", and broadening the appeal of accounting history and professionalisation as a taught subject in university accounting departments.

But as well as being an Oxford academic with a strong interest in theory and labor reform, he was also a lifelong political activist. Originally trained in German revolutionary ethical socialism in the early 1930s, he was the founder and joint editor of Socialist Commentary, the leading outlet for ‘revisionist’ social democratic thinking in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s. He was also the leading figure in the influential 1950s ‘think tank’ Socialist Union and played a key part in the bitter factional struggles inside the Labour Party. The main argument of the book is that Flanders’ ethical socialist ideas constituted both his strength and his weakness. Their rigor, clarity and sweep enabled him to exert a major influence over government attempts to negotiate labor reforms with the trade unions. Yet he proved unable to explain the failure of the reforms amidst rising levels of industrial conflict, as his intellectual rigor turned into ideological rigidity. The failure of negotiated reform led to Margaret Thatcher’s neo-liberal assault on trade union power in the 1980s. CONTENTS Chapter 1.

Adopted with the primary goal of facilitating European-level workers’ participation in information-sharing and consultation in multinational companies, EWCs have also been central to a wide-ranging process of institution-building at the European level. European Works Councils and Industrial Relations looks in depth at the three largest European Industry Federations in the process of institution-building, and whether these federations have helped or hindered EWC workers’ representatives. The first part of the book examines the provision for information and consultation rights, intended to permit workers’ representatives a degree of influence upon high levels of company restructuring in multinational corporations. Next, the book assesses whether that direct line of communication with top management has in fact been successful in practice. Institution-building, a second result of EWCs, has taken many forms, such as giving workers’ representatives in unions and national works councils the opportunity to consult with one another and develop a common European response to employers’ transnational plans before they are implemented. Most importantly for institutionbuilding, the development of EWCs has led to a wider role beyond the narrow barriers of the institution itself, and includes changing roles and politics for European Industry Federations (EIFs), as well as paved the way for a kind of ‘global’ works council with implications for industrial relations worldwide.

Computational Analysis of Firms’ Organization and Strategic Behaviour Routledge Research in Strategic Management
Edoardo Mollona, University of Bologna, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 353pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47602-7; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85009-1; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book addresses possible applications of computer simulation to theory building in management and organizational theory. The key hypothesis is that modelling and computer simulation provide an environment to develop, test and articulate theoretical propositions. In general, computer simulation provides an experimental environment where researchers are able to play with symbolic representations of phenomena by modifying the model’s structure and activating or deactivating model’s parameters. This environment allows to both generating hypotheses to ex post explain observed phenomena or to ex ante generate distributions of unrealized events thereby envisioning areas for further empirical investigations. Under a methodological perspective, the volume investigates logics and techniques to design a research strategy grounded on computer simulation. In particular, the articles in the book concentrate on two different techniques, and philosophies, to set up a simulation study: System Dynamics, which is grounded on differential equations and feedback theory, and agent-based modeling. The book describes how computer simulation helps to look into research issues typical to strategic management and organizational theory. In this respect, such themes as firms’ diversification strategies, competitive strategy, rivalry and the impact of role dynamics on organizational performances are explored through the lenses of computer simulation models.

Business is not getting any easier to do and major corporate collapses based on poor decisions, poor conduct, and poor judgement continue to occur. In public administration too, basic institutions and services (education, health, transport) seem to be continually undergoing “crises” of inadequate delivery and excessive pressure. Wisdom and Management in the Knowledge Economy explains why unwise managerial practice can happen in a world characterized by an excess of information and knowledge. Drawing on Aristotle’s idea of practical wisdom, the book develops a theory of social practice wisdom that addresses important social psychological and sociological dynamics that underpin wise management and organizations. As well as providing a detailed theory of social practice wisdom, this book considers practical issues in organizational communication, behavior, culture, change and knowledge as well as in HRM, leadership, ethics, strategy, international business, business education, and wisdom research. By introducing the notion of social practice wisdom, aspects of social structure, organizational culture, and organizational communication needed for wisdom to flourish are for the first time rendered visible in a way that opens new possibilities for wiser management, wiser organizations, and wisdom research.

It argues that the decisions which need to be made regarding the allocation of the scarce resources produced by the business community should be based on justice and equality, rather than the traditional capitalist paradigm. It explains in non-technical terms the principle philosophical theories of justice and argues that a firm has a moral responsibility to seek distributive justice in its dealings with its shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers, and other people with whom it has dealings, who are considered to be the firm’s stakeholders. The book introduces concepts of distributive justice to accountants and provokes them into reflecting on how the discipline of accounting can best serve the cause of justice. Accounting and Distributive Justice provides both a philosophical foundation and a practical game plan for the future of a more sustainable accounting practice.

83 and networks have received increased attention. This development has pushed management accounting researchers into examining the lateral effects of accounting. This book examines these lateral effects on accounting, and creates a comprehensive summary of what has been achieved so far and what interesting developments will occur in the coming ten years. The book covers a variety of interorganizational settings – dyads, networks, joint ventures, public sector – and the roles of accounting therein. It also deals with specific inter-organizational accounting techniques – customer accounting, target costing and open book accounting – which companies use to manage in a world of inter-organizational relationships and networks. The book also covers different theoretical perspectives – transactional cost economics, the industrial-network approach, actor-network theory, institutional theory – on accounting in networks. Each chapter focus on a specific angle of accounting in networks, assess theoretical and empirical evidence, summarize the current position/debate and discuss promising avenues for future research.

Edited by Victoria Krivogorsky, San Diego State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87186-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The growing internationalization of markets, the relaxation of constraints on capital flows between countries, and the creation of different economic unions -- the European Union in particular -- initiated the flow of capital, goods, and services across national borders, growth and diffusion of shareholding, and increased merger activity among the world’s largest stock exchanges. These changes have stimulated an interest in understanding developments in accounting and corporate governance in a newly qualitative way. Two recent occurrences in the world of business have created this interest in examining accounting and corporate governance. First, the corporate scandals in the US and Europe in early 2000’s shook the financial community’s confidence in the performance of public companies’ boards of directors and drew attention to possible flaws in corporate governance practices. Second, the European Parliament passed a resolution requiring all firms listed on stock exchanges of European member states to apply to IFRS when preparing their financial statements, making it necessary to analyze and debate the merits of this adoption, such as its effects on financial statements’ properties – economic performance in particular. The outcome of this research is instrumental in evaluating the corporate governance differences and first outcomes of this accounting convergence for robust policy prescriptions for future regimes.

Procuring Complex Performance Routledge Studies in Business Organizations and Networks
Edited by Mickey Howard and Nigel Caldwell, both of University of Bath, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 232pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80005-1; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This edited collection will stimulate debate over all aspects of ‘procuring complex performance’ (PCP), an emerging research phenomenon in both public and private business sectors. Examining industry studies in terms of their operational, structural, strategic, and political context, Procuring Complex Performance reflects on current trends in managing for complex outcomes. Drawing on projects in construction, healthcare, defense, and aerospace, as well as the contractual forms that support innovative approaches to risk and incentives, this book illustrates not only the now well-documented shift from a manufacturing orientation to a service orientation, but a further shift from managing suppliers’ inputs to contracting for outcomes. Exploring large-scale complex projects such as the construction of Heathrow Terminal 5, the management of a major hospital, the provision of service support in the defense sector, as well as a case from the Public Finance Initiative, the contributions here demonstrate the ways in which both the public-private and product-service boundaries evolve as a project progresses. Similarly, developments in more capital-intensive industries, such as aerospace, challenge the simple notion of hierarchy-based relationships between customer and supplier. Offering a comprehensive look at the key drivers for corporate competitiveness in terms of 21 st century supply and policy practice, Procuring Complex Performance shows organizations and supply communities what they must do in order to identify and develop the skills needed to ensure growth, security, and prosperity.

The Regulation of Work and Employment in Global Firms Routledge Studies in Employment and Work Relations in Context
Edited by Gregor Murray and Gilles Trudeau, both of University of Montreal, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47010-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Traditionally, industrial relations actors - unions and governments - have dealt with the regulation of work and employment through national mechanisms such as labour laws and collective bargaining. The inadequacy of these mechanisms to cope with the era of globalization has led to a rethinking of the nature and role of these traditional instruments and actors in the regulation of work and employment in the global firm. This book seeks to shed light on this process, to evaluate the range of emerging mechanisms and to consider the implications of this process for traditional forms of industrial relations governance such as collective bargaining and labour law in a global context. The originality of the approach is linked to the attempt to build bridges between industrial relations, labour law, the sociology of work and management and management studies. There are few other studies which systematically seek to integrate both different regions of the world and different sources of regulation into a single book.

The assumption is that area-based initiatives provide a means by which enterprise can include all members of society in mainstream social and economic activities. The rationale behind this book is to critically challenge the notion that enterprise can address the complexity behind deprivation and social exclusion by demonstrating UK and North American examples. The contributions in this edited collection offer a distinct opportunity in respect of both theoretical and empirical advancement. The authors hale from both sides of the Atlantic and form an inter-disciplinary group to provide complementary perspectives in this field. CONTENTS 1.

87 the informal venture capital market, as well as offers new material from these two pioneers of the field. The ground-breaking research by Colin Mason and Richard Harrison has put ‘business angels’ firmly on the policy agenda internationally and has influenced policy and practice around the globe. There has been increasing recognition in recent years that the informal venture capital market is central to the development of an entrepreneurial economy. The original papers remain remarkably relevant – not only as policy in many countries looks for ways to respond to initiatives to promote business angels, but also as business angels help to ameliorate the deepening finance gap for new and young businesses while banks are constrained in their lending to small businesses. Together with the addition of a new introduction, conclusion, and chapter on coninvestment, networks, and syndicates, this volume represents the greatest synthesis of current knowledge and practice in the promotion of informal venture capital currently available.

It provides a fresh account of current theorising on entrepreneurship, specifically addressing Schumpeterian thought as well as Neo-Austrian, NeoSchumpeterian and evolutionary approaches. A synthesis of these institutionalist arguments allows for outlining a new approach to the theory of entrepreneurship. It conceptualises the innovative generation and coordinative assimilation of technological novelty as an evolutionary process that is marked by paradigmatic qualities. The underlying emphasis on the relationship between institutional and technological change informs a reconsideration of the institutional embeddedness of entrepreneurship. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Entrepreneurship in Economic Thought: An Intellectual History 3. The Schumpeterian Perspective: Novelty, Leadership, and Historicity 4.

88 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Innovation is the creation of new, technologically feasible, commercially realisable products and processes and, if things go right, it emerges from the ongoing interaction of innovative organisations such as universities, research institutes, firms, government agencies and venture capitalists. Innovation in Complex Social Systems uses a "hard science" approach to examine innovation in a new way. Its contributors come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including social and natural sciences, computer science, and mathematics. Using cutting-edge methodology, they deal with the complex aspects of socio-economic innovation processes. Its approach opens up a new paradigm for innovation research, making innovation understandable and tractable using tools such as computational network analysis and agent-based simulation. This book of new work combines empirical analysis with a discussion of the tools and methods used to successfully investigate innovation from a range of international experts, and will be of interest to postgraduate students and scholars in economics, social science, innovation research and complexity science.

Internationalization, Technological Change and the Theory of the Firm Routledge Studies in Global Competition
Edited by Nicola De Liso, University of Salento, Italy and Riccardo Leoncini, University of Bologna, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46071-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book focuses on three main areas, each of which is central to economic theorising: firms’ organisation and behaviour, technological change and the process of globalisation. Each subject can be analysed by using different methods, which range from purely theoretical abstractions to case studies and from econometrics to simulations. What this collection provides is a broad view of the three topics by concentrating on different aspects of each of them, and utilising different methods of investigation. Internationalization, Technological Change and the Theory of the Firm looks in detail at various questions surrounding firms’ organisation, including why we can observe ordered paths of production, whether proximity between firms matters, and whether patenting is always worthwhile. In addition, several essays explore technology and innovation, including the persistence-cumdevelopment of old technologies. Furthermore, this book focuses on those processes which concern small- and medium-sized firms, considering the usefulness of stage theory, the possibilities of production off-shoring and the skill composition of manufacturing firms. Overall, the book is characterised by original ideas, renewed applications of mathematical and statistical methods and the use of new databases. This valuable collection will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers focusing on innovation, theories of the firm and globalisation; and should also be useful to a professional readership as it presents up-to-date research with the aim of improving our understanding of the phenomena of technological change, firms’ strategies, and globalisation.

Firstly, it links entrepreneurship to innovation and to the generation, transformation and use of knowledge . Secondly, it inserts entrepreneurship in innovation systems of various typesnational, sectoral and local. Thirdly, it views entrepreneurship not as a single event but as a process that evolves in time, from the preentry experience, to the entrepreneurial act, to the evolution of the entrepreneur and the new company. With chapters from a range of international contributors, the book answers questions such as; what are the main dimensions of knowledge intensive entrepreneurship? What are the factors affecting its emergence, evolution and performance? How important is knowledge intensive entrepreneurship for European growth and competitiveness? Is the situation of Central and Eastern Europe, engaged in a process of major economic and institutional transformation, similar or different from the one of Western Europe?

Territory, specialization and globalization in European Manufacturing Routledge Studies in Global Competition
Helena Marques, University of Manchester, UK and Francisco Puig, University of Valencia, Spain PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; ÂŁ80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55206-6; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Although traditional manufacturing (textiles, clothing, footwear, furniture, etc) has been in decline in developed countries, it still represents an important part of European employment due to its labour-intensive character. Moreover, its geographical concentration particularly exposes certain regions of Europe to job loss as the industry declines. This book provides an explanation for the differences observed in the impact of globalization which is based on the influence of the territory and of the production specialization of the firms. The conclusions presented in the book are withdrawn from a detailed study of the Spanish textile-clothing sector. The book highlights the intensity of the relationship between the organizational model of the territory where the firms are located (high concentration of interrelated firms in a well-defined geographical area called "industrial district"), the specialization strategy implemented and the globalization of the economy. It also suggests the need to consider those factors as interdependent determinants of firm performance, particularly given the current trend for firms to simultaneously concentrate geographically and multilocalize domestically and internationally. The proposed methodology of analysis can be used to study other manufacturing sectors in other European countries. CONTENTS Chapter 1. Networks and industrial districts, Chapter 2. Globalization, internationalization strategy and industrial districts, Chapter 3. The textile-clothing sector, Chapter 4. A case of analysis: the Valencian textile industrial district, Chapter 5.

90 Networked Activisms and the Making of Regionalisms draws renewed attention to the role that citizens across borders have played to advance more democratic and socially sustainable alternatives to contemporary market-led regionalisms. Icaza looks at cross-border joint campaigns and mobilizations undertaken by networks and coalitions of ngos, think tanks, and social movements’ organizations based in Mexico to influence the decision-making processes and the content of regionalist agendas. She argues that social movements; organizations are the makers of regionalisms and that their interventions are paradoxical expressions of both resistance and power in the age of globalization. Icaza draws on Mexican case studies of networked opposition to significant examples of North-South and South-South regionalisms, identifying these groups’ contributions to overcome social and democratic deficits connected to these regionalist projects as well as their setbacks and limitations.

Managing Healthy Organizations Routledge Studies in Human Resource Development
Mikael Holmqvist and Christian Maravelias, both of Stockholm University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 194pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87389-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION During the past two decades, corporate management has come to take an active role in health promotion programming for employees, offering health education, screenings, therapy, and even leisure initiatives. However, little attention has been given to how contemporary worksite health programs in fact blur the traditional distinction between work and private life. This has resulted in that little research on the other side of the work-health nexus: how employers factor health considerations into workforce management and productivity control. With the advancement of "work-site health promotion" in contemporary organizations, Holmqvist and Maravelias argue that this narrow focus, and the typical uncritical standpoint towards initiatives which are taken in the name of employees’ health, is inadequate. At a more fundamental level, the advancement of work-site health promotion may be a sign of a new or altered corporate health ethic: in contrast to the old corporate health ethic that was narrow and specific to the workplace, the new corporate health ethic appears to judge the ‘whole employee’ and especially what the whole employee may become; the risks one faces and the abilities one has to shoulder the responsibility for developing into a real corporate value. The authors suggest that health experts’ work is closely aligned with problems relating to the general management of organizations. Through a focused appraisal of this central albeit neglected occupational group in management studies, this book tries to explore and understand in some depth situations and experiences that are of general interest and concern in our society.

This book addresses the role of trade unions in developing competence at work in eight European countries. The main objective is to explore differences in trade union strategies for competence development at wok and assess the extent to which country variation is affected by prevailing competence models, vocational training systems and social dialogue approaches. Acknowledged national experts writing about their countries combined with an engagement of social partner institutions fulfils the book's explicit objective of assessing the scope for transfer of good practice to build capacity and improve effectiveness in this area.

How can learning in the workplace be measured? What is the impact of various organizational settings (e.g., team-based work and call centres) on workplace learning? Which are the promising new avenues for research? And which research-based recommendations can be made to boost learning opportunities in various work contexts? The topic is conceptualized as an interaction between the individual and the work context, as a combination of individual and collective processes, as a link between cognition and action, and as a political process. With a wide array of contributions from academics such as Stephen Billet, Tara Fenwick and Victoria Marsick, this volume will be an important research and reference tool with all those academics and practitioners who are interested in the field of human resource development. Targeted at researchers, (post) graduate students, and reflective practitioners and managers interested in the area, "Workplace Learning" provides must-read material for anyone wanting to advance the theory, research, and/or practice of learning in the workplace.

Creativity and Innovation in Business and Beyond illustrates the ways in which creativity spurs innovation – not only in the realms of business and management, where the innovation is regularly acknowledged and discussed, but throughout the social sciences. With contributions from experts in fields as far-flung as policy, history, economics, law, psychology, and education, in addition to business and management, this volume explores the manifold avenues for creativity and innovation within and across a multitude of disciplines.

They include changes in the innovation process, flexibility to outsource innovation activities, and most importantly, the location of innovation. There are mainly two new trends: First, location of globally strategic R&D by the multinational corporations (MNCs) in some developing countries; second, more recently, some companies from the emerging economies have also started performing R&D to develop products and services for global markets. These trends are occurring in a dynamic business environment that consists of mutually reinforcing economic and technological changes. These trends have managerial implications for companies and policy implications for the emerging economies where such R&D is performed, as well as for the industrialized home countries of the companies. Further, innovative products and services resulting from R&D activities in emerging economies seem to better address the needs of consumers at the bottom-of-the-pyramid in other developing countries. Global Research and Development in Emerging Economies examines the dynamics of the globalization processes and the emergence of new locations for innovation and its implications. Exploring twenty in-depth case studies of MNCs, local companies, and research institutes/universities based in Brazil, China, India, and South Africa (the so-called BRICS Group), Prasada Reddy develops a conceptual framework of the evolution of globalization of corporate R&D. This unique books addresses many issues including the context for location of global R&D in emerging economies by MNCs and the driving forces behind this trend, performance of global R&D by companies from emerging economies, and national and corporate implications of these new trends for innovation systems.

Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy
Alan Rugman, Indiana University, USA and Alain Verbeke, University of Calgary, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80012-9; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Twenty years after the first edition of Global Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy first published, Alan Rugman and Alain Verbeke’s seminal book remains as relevant to an examination of the relationships between firms and governments as ever. As developed nations now face a sharp rise in imports from rapidly developing countries such as China and India, this groundbreaking theoretical analysis of strategic management and trade policy, with the authors’ original framework now substantively updated and extended, may indeed take on a new kind of consequence for students and practitioners of international business than it did even twenty years ago. Where once the core of the debate focused on the EU, the US, and Japan, now the so-called "core triad" has extended to the broad regions of Europe, North America, and Asia. The volume has long offered a sophisticated analysis of the interactions between industrial / science policy and corporate strategy. New to the second edition are extensive discussions of innovation policy, clustering and its role in enhancing competitiveness, spill-over effects, international technology transfer, trade and investment agreements such as NAFTA, the deeper integration of the EU, investor state dispute, and an examination of parent/subsidy relationships within the internal network of the multinational enterprise. Additionally, the authors have written entirely new chapters analyzing the impact of environmental regulations on corporate strategy, large firms’ reliance on sales within their home region, and the role of NGOs in the formulation of both government policy and corporate strategy. Global Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy, 2 nd Edition reintroduces the basic theoretical models of Rugman and Verbeke and demonstrates that these models remain required tools for contemporary scholarly analysis. This new edition also provides the first serious investigation of strategies for multinational enterprises in a world of

International Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy
Edited by Niina Nummela, Turku School of Economics, Finland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87270-6; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The majority of small and medium enterprises operate in a networked business environment that extends beyond national and cultural boundaries. Within these networks, growth takes various routes and forms. Instead of linear, positive growth, international growth is often more cyclical, including periods of stagnation and withdrawal, even exits. Network management has also become a central mechanism in steering the growth and long-term success of SMEs, but our knowledge of the processes that control this mechanism is yet limited. International Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises focuses on how companies expand their operations across national borders through opportunity exploration and exploitation, and identification and development of innovations. Networks are here seen as a precondition for international growth. New forms of collaborations in an increasingly competitive market are warranted, and this book explores the concept of so-called "coopetition" within opportunity and innovation processes in particular. While not all smallbusiness owners/managers are interested in international growth, the number of companies with growth-oriented management teams is increasing, and innovative network-based business models to expand their operations will be required. This collection of new and international perspectives sheds much-needed light on how founders and management teams of SMEs can succeed in fostering the growth process, and what specific characteristics are instrumental in initiating and maintaining international growth.

Building upon the foundational works of Library and Information Studies (LIS) scholar and theorist Elfreda Chatman and philosopher Jurgen Habermas, as well as from theory and research from a wide range of other fields, the theory of information worlds can serve as a theoretical driver both in LIS studies and across other disciplines that study information issues, enriching and expanding our understanding of the multi-layered role of information in society. Testing their theory through application to a variety of real-world issues, Burnett and Jaeger tackle the topics of libraries and information provision, the value assigned to information by differing social groups, information access and exchange, international information policies, the role of information in democracy, and technological change. Information Worlds provides a framework for empirical investigations into the fascinating and very real social dimensions of information. CONTENTS Introduction Acknowledgments 1.

Gossip and Organizations provides the reader with an analysis of gossip and informal knowledge across different national, organizational and cultural contexts, drawing upon empirical findings and the authors' experiences of researching gossip in nursing and healthcare organizations, higher educational institutions, non-government organizations and private sector organizations in Australia and the UK. Co-authors Kathryn Waddington and Grant Michelson aim to dispel once and for all the myth that women gossip and men have conversations, shattering the illusion that gossip at work is trivial talk. This book challenges the assumption that gossip is a problem that should be discouraged arguing instead that paying closer attention to gossip enables exploration of other ways of seeing, interpreting and understanding organizations and people's experience in organizations The complexity of gossip is such that a range of psycho-social-cultural explanations are necessary in order to account for human interactions at all levels in organizations. Waddington and Michelson provide a new framework that synthesizes these elements to further illuminate gossip and/in organizations and guide future research, theoretical development and critical reflection in the field.

Imagining Business Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society
Edited by Paolo Quattrone, Oxford University, UK, Nigel Thrift, University of Warwick, UK, Chris McLean, University of Manchester, UK and Francois-Regis Puyou, Nantes Management School, France PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88064-0; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The modern business relies extensively upon myriad images and pictorial representations such as budgets, schedules, reports, graphs, and organizational charts. Visual images play such an integral role in the process of organizing that many modern managers have come to take them for granted. This book provides a new disciplinary space in which to experiment and capture the significant role that images and other forms of engagements play in the performance of the organizational activities that make business possible. Images are often seen as simple representations of what happens in organisations: thus financial reports are believed to enable readers to see the ‘true and fair view’ of a firm’s financial transactions. Contributions to this volume challenge this orthodox view to explore how images in business, organizing and organizations are "performative" rather than simply representational, viewed in a static and rigid form. Imagining Business addresses the question of how we visualise organizations and their activities as an important aspect of managerial work, focusing on practices and performances, organizing and ordering, and media and technologies. Moreover, it aims to provide a focal point for the growing collection of studies that explore how various business artefacts draw on the power of the visual to enable various forms of organizing and organizations in diverse contexts.

Edited by Ana Guedes and Alex Faria, both of Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 258pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80169-0; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85432-7; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Over the last few decades, the field of management enlarged its boundaries, especially in international terms, in a very rapid fashion— mainly because of the arrival of the so-called era of globalization. Many renowned scholars have criticized the universal approach given to ‘management’ in the United States and its subsequent automatic conversion into ‘international management,’ but their arguments too can fall into the trap of universalism at times. This book has a more specific concern: to challenge the conversion of ‘management’ into ‘international management’ from a Latin American perspective. This challenge might be taken as a first step toward the construction of a Latin American perspective in International Management and a potential contribution to the development of this field in other parts of the world. Drawing upon such critical standpoint, several authors in the book converge upon the idea that
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
96 researchers, practitioners and authorities in Latin America should challenge the US dominance in International Management and foster interdisciplinary developments within International Relations. The critical perspective provided in this book challenges the US’s narrow viewpoint on management as it clearly does not fit the governance features of ‘international management’ in Latin America. So far, we have not observed the constitution of sub-areas such as international management of international organizations, international management of transnational institutions, international management of public-private networks, international management of public companies, and international public administration or international public management, all of which would be extremely important in Latin America.

Storytelling and Antenarrative in Organizations Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society
Edited by David M. Boje, New Mexico State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87391-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The concept of narrative is explored in many different fields from organization studies to studies on identity, psychology, and learning. Organization and management studies have overwhelmingly focused to date on rational narrative structures with beginnings, middles, and ends, where narrative has proved to be a handy concept in qualitative studies – such as in the analysis of interviews or in understanding an organization’s history and identity. Far less attention is given however to the more spontaneous and ‘non-staged’ storytelling that occurs in organizations. The collective and joint storytelling of everyday conversations and interactions in business is less well understood, but is arguably vital to an organization’s dynamics and ability to cope with change. Pioneering thinker in organizational communication David Boje here compiles a collection of new essays on the theme of ‘antenarrative,’ or non-linear narrative, as applied to organizations and business, bringing together different approaches and philosophical interpretations of the concept. The essays combine a strong theoretical background with empirical cases as diverse as Wal-mart, information systems, and Nordic banking. Storytelling and Antenarrative in Organizations is the first volume to offer such a varied but systematic examination of non-traditional narrative inquiry in the management realm, organizing and developing its approach, and providing new insights for management students and scholars.

Style Differences in Cognition, Learning, and Management Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society
Edited by Stephen Rayner, University of Gloucestershire, UK and Eva Cools, Gent Management School, Belgium PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80199-7; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The field of style difference is critical to our understanding of the ways cognitive styles and learning styles operate in human performance. The fifteen international scholars presented here examine, for the first time, the issue of style difference from both theoretical and empirical perspectives – bridging the gaps between practitioners and researchers of cognitive and learning styles – creating a global paradigm for the field of studying differences in human performance. The book is divided into three distinct sections: one establishing the history and context of cognitive style and offering a consensual theory for the style difference field; a second utilizing cutting edge research to address diverse applications of style in the contexts of learning, knowledge management, training, and pedagogy; and a third extending applications of style to the workplace context. Style Differences in Performance is a timely and

Visual Culture in Organizations Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society
Alexander Styhre, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 264pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87190-7; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84868-5; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Vision and visuality are two concepts widely discussed and debated in philosophy and social science literature. Some authors even suggest that the entire Western intellectual tradition is strongly shaped by the paradigm of vision; the inspection and analysis of specimens collected from social reality are regarded as the only legitimate source of truth. However, in organizations, a variety of visual practices are employed in for instance science-based innovation in for instance the pharmaceutical industry and in architect work. Such visual practices include the use of various technoscientific machinery and tools to more mundane uses of full-scale models and photos in architect work. In comparison to the various linguistic perspectives on organizations, vision and visuality remain surprisingly little theorized and examined in the organization literature. Visual Culture in Organizations offers an introduction to the literature on vision and visuality that is relevant to organizational theory (comparing and contrasting it to the well-documented area of linguistic theory in organizations), proposes a theoretical framework for visual culture in organizations, and provides empirical illustrations to the theoretical framework. The book shows that visual practices are a central procedure in the day-to-day routines of organizations and are long overdue for close examination. CONTENTS Part I.

Health Technology Development and Use Routledge Studies in Technology, Work and Organizations
Sampsa Hyysalo, University of Helsinki, Finland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 379pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80646-6; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84915-6; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Most industrialized countries have faced the rising cost of health care services since the 1980s and expect health care costs to only continue to rise in coming decades. As recently as the last US presidential election, technology has been touted as the ‘medicine’ that can ‘cure healthcare,’ saving billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars. But the continuous adoption of new technology is also argued to be the major cost-driver for health care. Health Technology Development and Use: From Practice-Bound Imagination to Evolving Impacts maps out the complex, emergent relationship between users and designers, offering three outstanding case-studies of the development and use of new health technology. These studies follow the evolution of new health technology in detail through several rounds of design and deployment across various organisations, showing that in order to be truly useful, design concepts must continually be revised and reworked in the light of the practical experiences of implementation and use – a lesson with implications for healthcare technology and beyond. The "biographies of technologies and practices" approach to new technology advanced in this volume offers us urgent new insight to core empirical and theoretical questions about how where development projects gain their representations of future use and users, how usage is actually designed, how users’ requests and modifications affect designs and what kind of learning takes place between developers and users in different phases of innovation—all crucial to our understanding and ability to advance new health technology, and innovation more generally.

Economic Governance in the EU Routledge Studies in the European Economy
Willem Molle, Erasmus School of Economics, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56544-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In the course of its development the EU has had to deal with an expanding policy agenda, covering ever more subjects and an increased diversity of instruments. It has also had to deal with an increased number of member states and an extended range of partners (regional authorities, non governmental organisations). These developments have greatly increased the risk of inconsistencies between the various policies pursued and between the various levels of competence for the same policy. Inconsistent policies are less effective than they ought to be. So, they imply a welfare loss. The EU has tried to cope with the challenge of consistency by adapting its governance. Traditionally it uses mainly the regulatory method. The effectiveness of this method has recently come into question. So alternative methods are now favoured. One is the financial method; which implies more expenditure via the EU budget. The other is coordination. The application of both methods has certain advantages and disadvantages. The problem for policy makers is then to determine the choice between the modes first and the optimal level of budgetary and coordination efforts next. Notwithstanding its obvious policy relevance the problem has got little attention from academia. This book sets out to contribute to a solution by following two approaches. The first is a systematisation of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of the financial and coordination methods. The second is an empirical investigation into a range of European policy processes, implying to different degrees budgetary outlays and coordination. CONTENTS Part 1: Intro 1.

The Economics of Urban Property Markets is a cohesive analysis and synthesis of a wide range of factors that determine the regional development of cities. The book draws on institutional economics to explore the mechanisms, processes and dynamics through which the built environment is provided, and considers how these affect urban economic potential. The author advances the argument that the property market as an institution is a mediator through which economic potential can be realised and served. This book is an invaluable resource for all students on urban and regional economics and built environment courses. CONTENTS 1.

99 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION During the last decades, it has become increasingly clear that demographic change constitutes one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. One important factor that has placed demographic change high on the political agenda is an increasing awareness of current demographic trends. It is well known today that we can expect a dramatic increase in the number of elderly people in Europe, due to declining mortality combined with continuing low fertility. The working age population in Europe will decrease. This process of ageing in Europe is the closing phase of the demographic transition, a shift from high to low birth and death rates that started in the 19 th century. The main question this book focuses on is to what extent European external policies should be reconsidered in the light of current demographic challenges. Experts from Europe and the US concentate their study on current demographic trends, an analysis of demographic transitions and their economic, social and geo-political implications and European migration policies.

This discussion is to cover all aspects of EU revenue and expenditure, including that on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP has been radically transformed in recent years, but the issue of its reform, including its goals, its effectiveness in reaching them and the question of division of responsibility and financing between the EU and member states, is once again at the centre of attention. This collection features well-known experts in the field and aims to contribute to the debate on the present state and future prospects of the CAP and other EU policies. The topics covered range from the EU budget to food safety, rural development, sustainable food consumption, and the influence of international trade negotiations. Many of the ideas presented here are original and controversial and intended to fuel the debate on this important topic. For instance, there are various proposals for the EU budget, the division of responsibilities between the EU and its member states, and the shape of the CAP post-2013.

Its central thesis is that, from a practical and theoretical point of view, such a basis is fundamentally at odds with the creation of an interventionist regime that the construction of a social Europe would require. The authors argue convincingly that - economically: the EU does not currently possess the budget or the economic tools to pursue such a strategy; politically: close to none of the institutions of the EU have backed such a policy; practically: conservative and neo-liberal

100 forces (among member states and the institutions of the EU) have repeatedly thwarted any moves in this direction. In reality, the Single Internal Market, Economic and Monetary Union, enlargement, the Lisbon Agenda and European Constitution projects all prioritise supply-side measures and expanding the scope of the market rather than the boosting of demand and other economic intervention. Consequently, constructing a social Europe in the face of this would appear problematic. Hence, in both theory and practice, the idea that there can be a social Europe vis-à-vis neoliberalisation is a contradiction in terms. This controversial book will be an educating and refreshing read for advanced students and academics involved with European politics, the European Union, European Economics and Economic instititutions.

Adam Smith and the Economy of the Passions Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Jan Horst Keppler, University of Paris-Dauphine, France PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 216x138 mm; 160pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56986-6; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The fertility of Adam Smith’s work stems from a paradoxical structure where the pursuit of economic self-interest and wealth accumulation serve wider social objectives. The incentive for this wealth accumulation comes from a desire for social recognition or "sympathy" – the need to recognise ourselves in our peers – which is the primary incentive for moderating and transforming our violent and egotistical passions. Adam Smith thus examines in detail the subliminal emotional structure underlying market behaviour. This new book by Professor Jan Horst Keppler presents an Adam Smith for the 21 st century, more sceptical, searching and daring than he has ever been portrayed before. Without disputing its benefits, Professor Keppler’s original contribution explores the anarchic passions constantly threatening to destroy all social bounds, and how the overarching "desire for love" and social recognition provides the Smithian individual with the incentive to transform his unsocial passions into a desire for social advancement and economic wealth with the view to gaining the vital approbation of his peers. One of the most striking results of this new reading of Adam Smith is the latter’s insistence on the primacy of exchange value over use value. In other words, the quest for wealth is exclusively driven by the value it represents in the eyes of others rather than by any value in individual use. At a moment of crisis, where the link between "true" economic values and "virtual" financial values is more fragile than ever, Adam Smith’s work is a profoundly contemporary reminder that in the absence of personal, ethical groundings our economic actions are only grounded in the game of mirrors we play with our peers. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers in the History of Economics, or indeed any reader with an interest in the psychological foundations of a market economy and its theoretical representations as developed by Adam Smith.

101 www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47321-7; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Maurice Potron (1872-1942), a French Jesuit mathematician, constructed and analyzed a highly original, but virtually unknown economic model. This book presents translated versions of all his economic writings, preceded by a long introduction which sketches his life and environment based on extensive archival research and family documents. Potron had no education in economics and almost no contact with the economists of his time. His primary source of inspiration was the social doctrine of the Church, which had been updated at the end of the nineteenth century. Faced with the ‘economic evils’ of his time, he reacted by utilizing his talents as a mathematician and an engineer to invent and formalize a general disaggregated model in which production, employment, prices and wages are the main unknowns. He introduced four basic principles or normative conditions (‘sufficient production’, the ‘right to rest’, ‘justice in exchange’, and the ‘right to live’) to define satisfactory regimes of production and labour on the one hand, and of prices and wages on the other. He studied the conditions for the existence of these regimes, both on the quantity side and the value side, and he explored the way to implement them. This book makes it clear that Potron was the first author to develop a full input-output model, to use the Perron-Frobenius theorem in economics, to state a duality result, and to formulate the Hawkins-Simon condition. These are all techniques which now belong to the standard toolkit of economists. This book will be of interest to Economics postgraduate students and researchers, and will be essential reading for courses dealing with the history of mathematical economics in general, and linear production theory in particular.

Austrian and German Economic Thought Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Kiichiro Yagi, Kyoto University, Japan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55404-6; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The emergence of subjectivist value theory of Carl Menger in the late nineteenth century Vienna altered the constellation of social sciences in Austria and Germany. Menger and his two followers, Eugen v. Böhm-Bawerk and Friedrich Wieser, established a new school in economics, the "Austrian School", whose name is inherited up to present via Friedrich Hayek. In this new book, Kiichiro Yagi argues for a renovation of the views of these Austrian and German social scientists, a quest that can be surmised as a journey to reconcile the new born methodological subjectivism (or individualism) with the concept of social change, which modern readers can interpret as a concept of "social evolution". Yagi grounds his work on thorough archival research, examining the formation process of the classic works of Austrians in detail and situating them in the context of political liberalism and the peculiar constitution of the old Austria. Yagi argues that the Austrian economists were not confined in pure theory but had their own view of society and history that would place the Debate on Method as well as of the works of Max Weber in a wider context place. The final aim of the study is to explore the place of subjective rationality or methodological individualism in the total view of social evolution. The book acquires some answers by reading works of Max Weber and Schumpeter from the viewpoint of an evolutionary economist. CONTENTS 1.

Bertram Schefold’s choice of authors for the "Klassiker" series, which he has edited since 1991, and his comments on the various re-edited works are proof of his highly original and thought-provoking interpretation of the history of economic thought. This volume is an important contribution to the history of economic thought not only because it delivers original and fresh insights about such well-known figures as Aristotle, Jevons or Wicksell, but also because it deals with authors and ideas who have been forgotten or neglected in the previous literature. In this regard Schefold’s book could prove to be seminal for the field of the history of economic thought, for in the age of globalisation our usual restriction to the thinkers of Western Europe and the USA might eventually be overcome.
Crises and Cycles in Economic Dictionaries and Encyclopaedias Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Edited by Daniele Besomi, University of Lausanne, Switzerland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 640pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49903-3; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Economic dictionaries have a long history, dating back to Choel’s Dictionnaire Oeconomique first published in 1709. Some of these dictionaries give nothing more than definitions, but some offer ponderous articles, occasionally up to a hundred pages in size that have been influential, or were used as reference material, or marked important tuning points in the development of their writer’s ideas. Some dictionaries aimed at systematizing knowledge, others at supplying materials for conversation others still at registering the most recent advances in the discipline. Accordingly, some entries expounded new ideas, others summarized their author’s thought and others were brilliant surveys of the field at their time. This new book investigates from the perspective of the major economic dictionaries and encyclopaedias the notions of economic crises and cycles, bringing together extensive summaries of a number of significant entries on this subject, with an introductory essay to each entry placing them (and the dictionary to which they belong) in their context, giving some details on the author of the dictionary entry, and assessing the entry’s (and its author’s) contribution. This book will be accompanied by a website generated by the research team and feature contributions from notable economic historians such as Pascal Bridel, Cécile Dangel-Hagnauer, Ludovic Frobert, Harald Hagemann and Alain Raybaut.

Studies of the division of labor are found in the writings of many authors ranging from Plato to Smith, Karl Marx, von Friedrich Hayek and George Stigler. This book is devoted to close examination of the various pieces of lasting importance in the history of ideas, and of the complexity of their intellectual connections. Another major aim of the book is to assess and synthesize the contemporary studies, namely the post-WWII studies, especially since the revival of research interest in the division of labor in the late 1970s, in light of such a tradition, thereby highlighting and assessing advancements recently made and suggesting some new directions into which further exploration appears to be scientifically rewarding.

A Dynamic Approach to Economic Theory Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Edited by Olav Bjerkholt, University of Oslo, Norway and Duo Qin, Queen Mary, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56409-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book contains a set of notes prepared by Ragnar Frisch for a lecture series that he delivered at Yale University in 1930. The lecture notes provide not only a valuable source document for the history of econometrics, but also a more systematic introduction to some of Frisch’s key methodological ideas than his other works so far published in various media for the econometrics community. In particular, these notes contain a number of prescient ideas precursory to some of the most important notions developed in econometrics during the 1970s and 1980s More remarkably, Frisch demonstrated a deep understanding of what econometric or statistical analysis could achieve under the situation where there lacked known correct theoretical models. This volume has been rigorously edited and comes with an introductory essay from Olav Bjerkholt and Duo Qin placing the notes in their historical context. CONTENTS I. General Consideration on Statistics and Dynamics in Economics , 1. What is economic theory?, 2. A discussion of the fundamental distinction between a static and a dynamic economic theory, 3. The static and the dynamic conception of an equilibrium, 4. Structural, confluent and fictitious relations in economic theory, II. Dynamic Formulation of Some Parts of Economic Theory , 5. A dynamic analysis of marginal utility, 6. A dynamic formulation of the law of demand, 7. A simple case of steered oscillations. The reaction problem, 8. A simple case of initiated oscillations, 9. Dynamic analysis of a closed economic system, III. Statistical Verification of the Laws of Dynamic Economic Theory , 10. Types of clustering in scatter diagrams and the non-significance of partial correlations, 11. General principles regarding the possibility of determining structural relations from empirical observations, 12. The separation of short-time and long-time components in an empirical time series, 13. The phase diagram. Phase elasticities and structural elasticities. The comparison problem in time series components, 14. Critical remarks on some of the recent attempts at statistical determination of demand and supply curves, 15. A new theory of linear regression.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
104 The Nineteenth Century saw the emergence of political economy as an independent science in Europe, the USA and Japan and its growing popularity was favoured by an unexpected wealth of publications and manuals, in which the principles of economics were systematically explained and discussed and the connections between this science and other forms of moral, political and legal discourse were examined. Among the issues that found a large place in manuals were the methodology of economics, the divisions between pure and applied economics and between science and art, the boundaries of this science and its relationships with other moral and social sciences. The oppositions between laissez-faire and interventionism, the emergence of socialism, Christian social thought, and the conservative and neo-liberal reactions that they provoked, are all registered in the history of economic manuals. Although substantial differences may be identified among national cases, this book proposes a comparative study of the history of manuals of political economy in the most representative countries for the development of economics in the 19th and early 20th centuries demonstrating that their evolution mirrors the various stages of the 'professionalisation' of economics.

E.E. Slutsky as Economist and Mathematician Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Vincent Barnett, University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54960-8; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Slutsky is perhaps the Russian/Ukrainian economist most quoted by mainstream economists today, although his fame in the West rests on only two articles that were initially translated into English. Moreover, Slutsky’s work is still employed in economics textbooks today, and he is the only Russian/Ukrainian person to be so honoured. This is the first book in English devoted to assessing Slutsky’s contributions to economics and to their links with his influential work in pure mathematics and statistics. Whereas previous scholars who have written on Slutsky have done so exclusively from either a ‘history of economics’ or a ‘history of science’ approach, Barnett argues that the two strands must be tied together as he examines Slutsky’s wide range of research interests and traces the connections between them. Barnett utilizes the full range of Russian archival and published sources and offers new translations into English of some of Slutsky’s currently unknown works in economics. Barnett provides the first detailed overview of the context and immediate influence of Slutsky’s life and work, both within Russia and outside it. CONTENTS Chapter 1 Introduction, Part One: Slutsky's Life and Contributions , Chapter Two Slutsky's Life and Work up to 1917, Chapter 3 Slutsky after the Boshevik Revolution.Chapter 4 Slutsky joins the Moscow Conjuncture Institute, Chapter 5 Slutsky after 1930, Part Two: Slutsky's Unknown Works in Economics , Chapter 6 An Essay on the Economic Views of William Petty (1914), Chapter 7: Mathematical Notes Towards a Theory of Currency Emission (1923), Chapter 8 An Enquiry into the Formal Praxelogical Foundations of Economics (1926), Part Three: Wider Discussion and Conclusion , Chapter 9: At the Limit of Economics and Mathematics, Chapter 10 Conclusion

Moreover, the label "Keynesians" is somewhat misleading: while the centrality of Keynes’ ideas is beyond dispute, there is the parallel line of thought provided by Sraffa’s revival of classical political economy, which J. Robinson was greatly influenced by in the later part of her life, and which some would consider as relevant to identification of the "Cambridge tradition of economics" as the line stemming from Keynes. So argues Marcuzzo in this new collection, that brings together her major research in the Cambridge tradition of economics. The book focuses on Keynes, Kahn, J. Robinson and Sraffa, who shared in the physical space and lifestyle of Cambridge to an exceptional degree. The bond between them was intellectual partnership, a recognised common ground, dialogue and acceptance of criticism. CONTENTS Introduction, I. Individuals, 1. Cambridge as a place in economics, 2.

The theme of economic generations recurs throughout the book which includes two new historical essays on twentieth century treatments of over-lapping generations and a new introduction on the place of intellectual history in modern economics. The essays provide original and, it is argued, often symbiotic treatments of mainstream figures such as Bentham, Malthus, Edgeworth, Walras, Pigou and Marshall and of "neglected" figures such as John Tozer and Alfred Russel Wallace.

Featuring contributions from the likes of Ross Emmett, Leon Montes and Robert Garnett, these chapters ask whether Hayek had an accurate reading of the ideas of Mill and Smith, as well as considering themes such as sympathy and analytical egalitarianism that play a large part in the liberal tradition, but less in work of Hayek These chapters argue that addition of these key ideas to the Hayekian corpus leads to a far broader understanding of the liberal tradition than that provided by Hayek CONTENTS Introduction, Andrew Farrant , 1.Hayek and the Liberal Tradition, 1.

Henry A. Abbati: Keynes' Forgotten Precursor Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Edited by Serena Di Gaspare, University of Turin, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57345-0; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Henry A. Abbati was not an economist by profession. After retiring from business, in 1924 he published his first book, The Unclaimed Wealth: How Money Stops Production in which he expounded his theory of ‘effective demand’ (terminology of his own) and its differences with respect to current theories on economic fluctuations. He was advocating public intervention in the economy in the crisis. His second book, The Final Buyer marshalled his criticisms of current theories and further clarified salient aspects of his theory, such as ‘saving’ and its various definitions, the working of the banking system, the interest rate and the role of public works as a means of reducing unemployment. Later work in the 30s and 40s looked at full employment, reflections on the economic crisis and further analysis of the concept of unclaimed wealth. In many ways Abbati’s work in the twenties was an important precursor to Keynes’ Treatise on Money , though despite being admired by Robertson and indeed Keynes, his work is today largely unknown and
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
107 entirely ignored by the numerous authors who have examined the debate of the twenties and thirties on the crises and business cycles and by academic opinion in general. In this book, Di Gaspare restores Abbati’s position as a pioneer in macroeconomic theory with a selection of his writings and a far reaching introduction to his contribution to the history of economic thought.

Lai, University of Hong Kong PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55906-5; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Are the ideas of Nobel Laureate Ronald H Coase’s ideas anti or pro market? This book carefully examines the best known works of Coase such as "The Problem of Social Cost" (1960) and "The Lighthouse in Economics" (1974) and illustrates their contemporary relevance in the context of urban development. Lawrence Lai explains how in theory and practice Coase’s theories have been misinterpreted both by anti-regulation libertarians and pro-planning interventionists. He demonstrates how Coase’s theories, although intended to ruin interventionist concepts, can be used to establish a practical pro-planning agenda without compromising the freedom of contract or private property rights as pillars of a market economy. He shows how this can be adapted to partake in the current debate on sustainable development. CONTENTS Part I: Intellectual and Policy Context, 1. Coase: a Friend or an Enemy of Planning?, 2. Coase and Coasian Research on Zoning, Part II: Coase and Market Failure , 3. "The Problem of Social Cost", the "Coase Theorem" and Externalities, 4. "The Lighthouse in Economics" and Public Goods, 5.

Kurz draws on the work of Schumpeter and Smith to articulate the relationships between innovation, knowledge and growth. Essays included range in subject, from considering Schumpeter’s work in Graz and the problem of innovation and profits from a Schumpeterian point of view to the concepts of knowledge and economic growth and the state of the study of the history of economic thought. Kurz’s analytical and technically sophisticated approach is combined with in awareness of the relevance of discussing the issues of innovation and growth in historical perspective and context.

It appears that his theories will be just as important for the twenty-first. As Keynes himself explained, his ideas
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
108 throughout his life were influenced by the moral philosophy he learned as an undergraduate. Nevertheless, the meaning and significance for Keynes of this early philosophy have remained largely unexplored. Keynes and the British Humanist Tradition offers an interpretation of Keynes’s early philosophy and its implications for his later thought. It approaches that philosophy from the perspective of the nineteenth century intellectual context out of which it emerged. The book argues that roots of Keynes’s early beliefs are to be found in the traditions of the Apostles, the very famous secret society to which he and most of his teachers belonged. The principles of Keynes’s philosophy can be seen in such writers as John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick, but the underlying ideas have been obscured by changing fashions in philosophy and thus require excavation and reconstruction. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in the history of economics, in particular the thought of John Maynard Keynes, especially his ethics, politics and economics. CONTENTS 1.

Marshall, Marshallians and Industrial Economics Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Edited by Tiziano Raffaelli, University of Pisa, Italy, Tamotsu Nishizawa, Graduate School of Economics, Tokyo, Japan and Simon Cook, University of Tel Aviv, Israel PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55270-7; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In recent years, Alfred Marshall’s reflections on industrial organization have attracted renewed attention, first in the booming literature on the industrial district and then as anticipations of the competence theory of the firm. Firms are no longer seen as devices aimed to economize transaction costs, but as organisms that grow and thrive thanks to their core competencies. This attitude has fostered a revival of interest in Marshall’s theory of industrial organization which now proves itself to be of long-lasting relevance. The aim of the book is to focus on both Marshall’s own work and the Marshallian tradition, revisiting the 1920s and 1930s debates on business size, external economies, coordination and management costs by the authors who followed Marshall’s insightful theoretical perspective. Authors include well-known historians such as Roger Backhouse and Richard Arena, applied and theoretical economists, young researchers who are working on unpublished material by Marshall and the Marshallian writers and an introduction from Giacomo Becattini.

The work aims to show how the Treatise and its vicissitudes gave rise to his economics. The work takes a broad approach to Hume and his writings on economic topics from the Treatise , through the Enquires and on to his political and economic essay. The work also explores Hume’s textual method and charts the move form abstruse philosophy to a Ciceronian engagement with social conditions and problems as developed in the Political Discourses . In addition, Hume’s extensive use of analogies is also brought into clearer focus than is found in other texts. Overall, the book will be of great use to both postgraduates and undergraduates alike.

Gilles Jacoud, University Jean Monnet of Saint-Etienne, France PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48266-0; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The French philosopher and economist Saint-Simon (1760–1825) propounded a new political, economic and social order in which the quest for economic efficiency and social justice led to putting the workers at the forefront. On his death, his disciples worked to preserve his thought and developed it in numerous writings. This book explains why the Saint-Simonians could not be content with the existing economic and social order and how they planned to organise society and the role banks were to play in it. It contains a selection of old texts, written by the main Saint-Simonian thinkers, published in the press in French between 1826 and 1831, which show the Saint-Simonian conception of the organisation of society and the place allotted to banks. It is an indispensable reference work in understanding a current of thought which greatly contributed to the industrial expansion of the nineteenth century. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students, economists, historians and philosophers interested in the history of economic thought. CONTENTS 1. Introduction by Gilles Jacoud. 2.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the work of Bastiat’s and his impact on economics and liberalism in the mid-nineteenth century. Winner of the Prix Charles-Dupin from the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques in Paris in its original French edition, this book examines the liberal legacy of Bastiat and his major contributions to political economy. Leroux discusses the fundamental tenets of Bastiat’s liberalism and the influence on his thought of many well-known English thinkers (Smith, Ricardo, Malthus) and some forgotten French authors (Charles Dunoyer, Charles Comte). The author explains how Bastiat came to political economy and how the genesis of his thought shaped the development of his political thinking. CONTENTS 1. Bastiat's Intellectual Background, 2.

Population, Development and Welfare in the History of Economic Thought Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
Claudia Sunna, Università degli Studi di Lecce, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-36278-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The relation between demographic phenomena and economic development is a complex one and has changed throughout time; today the relationship is still unclear and the effects of population growth on development and social welfare are still a matter of debate. In this book, Claudia Sunna examines how this relationship has been considered in the history of economic thought, from Mercantilism to the beginning of the 20th century, demonstrating how it has been a common feature in Mercantilist, Classical, Marginalist, Neoclassical and Keynesian paradigms. Sunna argues that the ideas of marginalist authors on population and development in particular mainly went beyond the analytical frame of economic theory due to the fact that in the static model that they developed, population was an exogenous variable. Sunna considers such economists as Wicksell and Pareto with their theory of the “optimum populationâ€?, or Marshall with his theory of long period growth who tried to consider the population variable in the new analytical frame. Others, like Jevons, Walras, Edgeworth, Sidgwick, dealt with this subject in non-analytical works. Sunna argues that all were influenced by the classical scheme and that even Keynes, up to the end of the Twenties, used a classical way of reasoning in order to explain unemployment as a demographic phenomenon. This book will be of interest to student and researchers in history of population theory and economics development, as well as those adopting an interdisciplinary approach to demography and sociology.

All of the authors are well established authorities in their field, and in this book they add stimulating and original pieces of analysis to the contemporary literature. Production, Distribution and Trade is divided into three parts. The first explores analytical issues in production and exchange theory, the second examines Postkeynesian Macroeconomics and the final part includes essays on the history of economic thought and methodology. This collection has been written in honour of Sergio Parrinello and is a fitting tribute to his untiring efforts to stimulate discussion among Classicists, Marxists, Postkeynesians, and Evolutionists. The book is a clear and convincing attempt to prove that an alternative paradigm to mainstream economics is alive and thriving and to argue that these perspectives shed better light on current economic problems, both as diagnosis and in terms of policy conclusions. The book will be of interest to Economics postgraduate students and researchers working in the Classical and Postkeynesian tradition.

The approach taken focuses on the core elements in the development of RBC models: (i) building blocks, (ii) catalysts, and (iii) meta-syntheses. This is done by detailed examination of all available unpublished variorum drafts of the key papers in the RBC story, so as to determine the origins of the ideas. The analysis of the process their discovery is then set out followed by explanations of the evolution and dissemination of the models, from first generation papers through full blown research programs. This is supplemented by interviews and correspondence with the individuals who were at the center of the development of RBC models, such as Kydland, Prescott, Long, Plosser, King, Lucas and Barro, among others. This book gets stright to the heart of the debates surrounding RBC models and as such contributes to a real assessment of their impact on modern macroeconomics. The volume, therefore, will interest all scholars looking at macroeconomics as well as historians of economic thought more generally.

Stalin's Economist Routledge Studies in the History of Economics
André Mommen, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57516-4; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Jenö Varga was the Comintern’s chief economist and contributed much to Stalin’s belief in a coming general crisis of capitalism. His importance resides in the fact that his theoretical and practical work contributed much to the development of the Kremlin’s international grand strategy and influenced Soviet thinking on the alleged uncertain future of capitalism and the inevitable coming of the world revolution. This intellectual biography of Varga stresses his contribution to Soviet economic thinking and to Stalin's ideological and political opinion. It was in this period that new paradigms had to be formulated and debated in periods of intense international tensions, revolutions and wars in combination with clashes on domestic policy choices with regard to industrialization and collectivisation. Varga's contribution consisted in applying both Hilferding's and Luxemburg's theories of finance capitalism and accumulation to actual economic problems and policies. Through Varga's work and at the hand of his polemics we can follow the changing attitudes of Soviet economists with regard to the development of world capitalism and inter-imperialist contradictions.

Its chief purpose is to examine Tooke’s contributions to political economy with the aim of bringing to light its unified nature and its important legacy to contemporary economics. In doing so the book aims to throw new light on monetary analysis within the framework of classical economics. There remains no comprehensive account of Tooke’s contributions that is concerned with showing his lasting and ongoing influence on the development of monetary thought. The book provides an interpretation and analytical study of Tooke’s political economy from the standpoint of the classical tradition. This enables a demonstration of how his constructive contribution throws a new light on monetary thought in this tradition.

In this new book, John Chipman introduces new English translations of important writings from German economists such as Rau, Hildebrand, Roscher and Knies showing that the introduction of this concept originated with them. This ground breaking book comes with a long introduction from John Chipman analysing the theory.

These moves to accord the voluntary sector a greater role in public service delivery inevitably means that the nature of its relationship with government, and place in the State more generally, is undergoing a process of change. To date, much of the debate about the desirability, or otherwise, of these changes has focused attention on how far it will improve efficiency and quality of services and the degree to which it will undermine the independence of the organisations themselves. Very little attention has however been paid to the implications for the employment policies and practices of voluntary organizations and the work experiences of those working for them. Voluntary Organizations and Public Sector Delivery provides a systematic examination of how these, and other, aspects of voluntary sector employment are being affected by its engagement with the growing trend to the market-based outsourcing of the delivery of public services. The volume draws together a team of expert contributors to explore how the process of outsourcing is impacting the internal and external labor markets of voluntary organizations, and the implications for the policy objectives underlying the externalization of the delivery of public services to them.

Globalization has forced firms into more direct competition; the result has been global pricefixing. This situation has greatly challenged antitrust authorities. Taking a broad yet detailed approach, this work sets a practical explanation of the history of cartels and antitrust law in a sound theoretical framework, as well as providing suggestions as to how potential reforms of antitrust laws could improve the situation going forward. The book includes a comprehensive analysis of the motivations behind and perceived necessity for organisations to enter into cartels, and the success or otherwise of legislatures’ attempts to both uncover and prevent such cartels from taking place. A total of 24 price-fixing conspiracies uncovered in the US and Europe are examined as part of the analysis to demonstrate the globalization of collusion. CONTENTS Chapter 1.

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Multi-Level Government Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy
Alessandro Ferrara, European Commission, Brussels, Belgium PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 352pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56821-0; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides an original theoretical framework for assessing public investment policies co-financed by Union (Federal) governments. This framework is applied to two important case studies: the EU Cohesion Policy and the US Federal Investment Policies. Cost-Benefit Analysis of Multi-Level Government sheds light on a number of outstanding issues of economic theory by extending the theory of shadow prices, and provides guidance to real-world decision makers. In particular, the following questions are addressed: In which circumstances is intervention by higher level government in Member States through investment policies justified? Is there a welfare economics rationale to underpin interregional equity? What is the relationship between interregional and interpersonal income distribution? How can social exclusion be included in cost-benefit tests? How can a higher level of government allocate financial resources to investment policies before it bargains over the related programming documents with lower levels of government? In these circumstances, how can optimal matching rates be derived under binding or non binding budgetary constraints? How can such an analytical framework provide guidance for real-world decision makers?

Critical Issues in Air Transport Economics and Business Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy
Edited by Rosário Macário, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal and Eddy Van de Voorde, Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 400pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57055-8; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book offers material for strategic thinking featuring contributions from key figures in Europe, the US and Asia. The focus of the book expands from economic to legal issues, bankruptcy and safety and security. The carefully selected papers offer a thorough and structured analysis of major current developments in the air transport industry. Fully up to date, topics covered include competitive strength, capacity utilisation and risk. The most likely future scenarios are more or less known. Only, the timeframe remains uncertain. The speed at which the various market players in the air transport chain will implement their strategies remains the key question. This depends on a whole range of exogenous and endogenous variables, as this book aspires to demonstrate. As both an overview of the current issues affecting the industry and as a cohesive set of strategic documents, therefore, this collection will prove invaluable for policy makers and researchers alike.

The Economic Geography of Air Transportation Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy
John T. Bowen, Central Washington University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 352pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77805-3; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Like the railroad and the automobile, the airliner has changed the very geography of the societies it serves. Fundamentally, air transportation has helped redefine the scale of human geography by dramatically reducing the cost of distance, both in terms of time and money. The result is what the author terms the ‘airborne world’, meaning all those places dependent upon and transformed by relatively inexpensive air transportation. The Economic Geography of Air Transportation answers three key questions: how did air transportation develop in the century after the Wright Brothers, what does it mean to live in an airborne world, and what is the future of aviation in this century? Examples are drawn from throughout the world. In particular, ample consideration is given to the situation in developing countries, where air transportation is growing rapidly and where, to a considerable degree, the future of the airborne world will be determined. The book weaves together the technological development of aviation, the competition among aircraft manufacturers and their stables of airliners, the deregulation and privatization of the airline industry, the articulation of air passenger and air cargo services in everyday life, and the challenges and controversies surrounding airports. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers in air transport history, the geography of the airline industry, air transport technological development, competition in the commercial aircraft industry, airport development, geography and economics. It will also be useful to professionals working in the airline, airport, and aircraft manufacturing industries. CONTENTS 1.

This framework includes a set of liberalising and market friendly policies such as privatisation, trade liberalization, stimulus to foreign direct investment, tax reform, and social security reforms. This book assesses the determinants and impacts of financial liberalisation in Brazil considering its two dimensions: the opening up of the balance of payments capital account, and the penetration by foreign bank of the domestic banking sector. The author combines theoretical and empirical analyses. Some make use of mathematical models and/or statistical techniques; however, they are only used when they are strictly necessary to the analysis. CONTENTS 1.

Global Politico-Economic Crises Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy
Keiichiro Komatsu, Komatsu Research & Advisory, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47766-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The 1997 Asian Crisis and 9/11 were turning points for the world economy. The two events reminded the Western World of the dynamic impacts of globalisation and the increased uncertainty the world was facing. This book examines the threats to the world economy arising in the wake of the tragedy of 11th September 2001 and the preceding Asian financial crisis of 1997. The author makes the point that a distinctive “1990s-type” global capitalist system was the victim of these attacks, so that an appreciation of the peculiarities of this system is essential to an examination of the specific threats that it is likely to face in future and the policy measures necessary to deal with them. As an international relations specialist working for a Japanese trade organization both in Britain and Japan itself, the author has a somewhat uniquely privileged vantage point from which to observe, analyze and evaluate the future tendencies and dangers of the new global system. The book cuts across economics and politics and as such will be of use to a wide audience within both of these disciplines.

118 HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 144pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77885-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book assesses South America’s most ambitious attempt at economic integration, Mercosur. It explains the main—and inherent— weaknesses of the integration effort, through explicit comparison with the European experience with integration. Jeffrey Cason argues that the three main reasons for Mercosur’s limited success are weak domestic political institutions in the member countries, vulnerability in the global political economy, and a serious imbalance in the economic and political weight of the member countries. In addition to providing this overarching explanation for Mercosur’s limitations, the book tells the story of Mercosur’s genesis, development, and frustrations. This book provides both an explanatory framework for understanding Mercosur and a story. It considers how Mercosur emerged, why it was greeted with great enthusiasm (and huge trade growth), and how it hit stumbling blocks as it sought to be more than it was capable of being. The book also focuses on how and why developing countries are inherently limited in any economic integration project. CONTENTS Introduction, Chapter 1: Understanding Integration: The European Model and a South American Case, Chapter 2: A Long-Standing Dream: Historical Experience With Integration In Latin America Chapter 3: The Launching Of Mercosur, Chapter 4: Mercosur’s Day In The Sun: Ambition Meets Its Match, Chapter 5: Mercosur in Slow-Motion Crisis, Chapter 6: The Future of Mercosur and the Challenges of Economic Integration in the Developing World.
The Role of 'Informal' Economies in the Post-Soviet World Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy
Peter Rodgers, Aston Business School, UK, John Round, University of Birmingham, UK and Colin C. Williams, University of Sheffield, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56721-3; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book challenges the accepted notion that the transition from the command economy to market based systems is complete across the post-Soviet space. While it is noted that different political economies have developed in such states, such as Russia’s ‘managed democracy’, events such as Ukraine gaining ‘market economy status’ by the European Union and acceding to the World Trade Organisation in 2008 are taken as evidence that the reform period is over. Such thinking is based on numerous assumptions; specifically that economic transition has defined start and end points, that the formal economy now has primacy over other forms of economic practices and that national economic growth leads to the ‘trickle down’ of wealth to those marginalised by the transition process. Based on extensive ethnographic and quantitative research, conducted in Ukraine and Russia between 2004 - 2007, this book questions these assumptions by stating that the economies that operate across post-Soviet spaces are far from the textbook idea of a market economy. Through this the whole notion of ‘transition’ is problematised and the importance of informal economies to everyday life is demonstrated. Using case studies of various sectors, such as entrepreneurial behaviour and the higher education system, it is also shown how corruption has invaded almost all sectors of the post-Soviet every day. CONTENTS Part I: Overview, 1. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the move towards the market, Part II: (Re)theorising Transition, 2. Transition or Transformation?, 3. Which Way to the Market?, 4. The theoretical role of informal economies in transition economies, Part III: The lived experience of ‘transition’, 5. The scale of Russia and Ukraine’s Informal economies, 6.

Ethical and legal concerns are dealt with in another set of chapters and highlight the concerns of the employer as well as the test taker and the psychologist responsible for the testing program. Final sections of the book include chapters that focus on testing for certain types of jobs (e.g., blue collar jobs, supervisory jobs) and describe important milestones in the development of selection programs.

Boards of directors are receiving increased interest in the business world as well as among academic audiences however few contributions integrate corporate governance and organizational behavior. In this book a research stream about value-creating boards is introduced.

This book aims to go further and explore actual board behavior. The framework and the contributions in the book include concepts such as: board leadership and structure, boardroom decision-making, board task performance corporate entrepreneurship and innovation boards in small and medium-sized firms board diversity and women directors The book also presents the results of a research agenda about value-creating boards which was conducted throughout various European countries.

Education, Professionalism and the Quest for Accountability Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education
Jane Green PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87925-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book focuses on education and its relation to professional accountability as viewed from two different, but not unrelated, perspectives. First, the book is about the work of professionals in schools and colleges (teachers, head teachers, leaders, principals, directors and educational managers, etc.) and the detrimental effects which our present system of accountability—and the managerialism which this system creates—have had on education, its practice, its organization, its conduct and its content. It is also about the professional education (the occupational/professional formation and development) of practitioners in communities other than educational ones and how they, too, contend with the effects of this system on their practices. These different perspectives represent two sides of the same problem: that whatever one’s métier—whether a teacher, nurse, social worker, community officer, librarian, civil servant, etc.—all who now work in institutions designed to serve the public are expected to reorganize their thoughts and practice in accordance with a "performance" management model of accountability which encourages a rigid bureaucracy, one which translates regulation and monitoring procedures, guidelines and advice into inflexible and obligatory compliance. A careful scrutiny of the underlying rationale of this "managerial" model shows how and why it may be expected, paradoxically, to make practices less accountable—and, in the case of education, less educative.

Children’s Writing and Drawing as Design Routledge Research in Education
Diane Mavers, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-96155-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the variety of means by which children make meaning graphically in response to different social contexts. Mavers discusses children’s resourcefulness in their selection, shaping and combination of resources in paper-based and digital mediums and in educational and leisure-related contexts. The recognition that meanings are made with the resources of different modes opens up new possibilities for understanding representation and communication and raises questions about what the resources of different modes are and how they are interrelated. Building upon key concepts developed in recent empirical studies in and theorization of multimodality from a social semiotic perspective, this book offers ways of understanding children’s writing and drawing – both discretely and in combination – as design.

The collection calls us to rethink the accepted liberal and national discourses that have long dominated the conceptualization and practice of citizenship and citizenship education in light of social conflict, globalization, terrorism, and the spread of an extreme form of capitalism. The contributors of the volume identify the main challenges to the role of citizenship education in the context of globalization, conflicts and the changes to the institution of citizenship they entail and critically examine the ways in which schools and education systems currently address – and may be able to improve – the role of citizenship education in conflict-ridden and multicultural contexts.

The contributors explore the elements necessary for sustainable collaboration in order to provide a frame of reference for others doing this work. This volume will help readers to ask the correct questions in thinking through school/university collaboration, such as: Does this collaboration make a true change in the way each parent organization operates in the future? Does it meet the needs of a more complex and changing work environment for universities and schools? Does it impact beyond the participant institutions and inform the field by producing knowledge of use to others? This volume also includes extensive analyses of ongoing school/university projects in the United States, Asia and Europe. CONTENTS Introduction: The Meme of Collaboration Judith J.

Seonaigh MacPherson, British Columbia Institute of Technology, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88215-6; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book critically examines the impact of migration, education, development, and the spread of English on global bio-linguistic and cultural diversity. Derived from findings from a comparative eco-linguistic study of intergenerational language, culture, and education change in the Tibetan Diaspora, the book extends its analysis to consider the plight of other peoples who find themselves straddling the Indigenous-Minority-Diaspora divide. MacPherson explores the overlapping and distinctive sustainability challenges facing indigenous and minority communities when they are connected by and within diasporas, and seeks to adequately explain the discontinuities and disjunctures between their educational struggles and achievement levels.

125 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Quinn presents a radical new perspective on the interrelationships between education and culture. Rather than viewing education in isolation from major cultural debates, she demonstrates how culture shapes education and education shapes culture. Cultural perspectives and rich empirical data from a wide range of research with learners in university, voluntary, community and work settings are used to provide a bridge between cultural theory and the embodied worlds of learners. Drawing vivid links with other cultural evidence from literature and popular culture, this book convincingly shows how anti-realist theory can produce positive material changes both in education and society.
The Gates Foundation and the Future of US “Public” Schools Routledge Research in Education
Edited by Philip Kovacs, University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87334-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There has been much public praise for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s efforts to reform public education. However, few scholars have engaged substantively and critically with the organization’s work. While the Gates Foundation is the single largest supporter by far of "choice" initiatives particularly with regard to charter school formation, it is pushing public school privatization through a wide array of initiatives and in conjunction with a number of other foundations. What are the implications for a public system as control over educational policy and priority is concentrated under one of the richest people on the planet in ways that foster de-unionization and teacher de-skilling while homogenizing school models and curriculum? The Gates Foundation and the Future of U.S. "Public" Schools addresses this crucial, unanswered question while investigating the relationships between the Gates Foundation and other think tanks, government, and corporate institutions.

This book demonstrates the ways in which traditional engineering education has not attracted, supported or retained female students and identifies the issues needing to be addressed in changing engineering education to become more gender inclusive. This innovative and much-needed work also addresses how faculty can incorporate inclusive curriculum within their courses and programs, and provides a range of exemplars of good practice in gender inclusive engineering education that will be immediately useful to faculty who teach engineering students.

126 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in civics and citizenship education. There have been unprecedented developments in citizenship education taking place in schools, adult education centers, or in the less formally structured spaces of media images and commentary around the world. This book provides an overview of the development of civics and citizenship education policy across a range of nation states. The contributors, all widely respected scholars in the field of civics and citizenship education, provide a thorough understanding of the different ways in which citizenship has been taken up by educators, governments and the wider public. Citizenship is never a single given, unproblematic concept, but rather its meanings have to be worked through and developed in terms of the particularities of socio-political location and history. This volume promotes a wider and more grounded understanding of the ways in which citizenship education is enacted across different nation states in order to develop education for active and participatory citizenry in both local and global contexts.

Leadership, Accountability, and Culture Routledge Research in Education
Giovanna Barzanò, Ministry of Education, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87610-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Accountability, as a set of formal and informal practices making schools answerable to various constituencies and stakeholders, is a crucial issue for principals all over the world. It is the object of an intensive debate both in the contexts where it has a stronger tradition, as well as in the ones where it is progressively gaining more space. This book examines the cultural aspects that inform the conceptualisations and the perceptions of educational accountability in different societal contexts and the influences they have on the role of school leaders. On the basis of a comparison of the data collected through the analysis of policy documents and in-depth interviews with key informants in four different educational systems throughout the world, Barzanò presents a picture of the ways accountability mechanisms vary and are made sense of in the frameworks of different cultural and societal traditions, both at the levels of policy and practice.

Joanna Haynes, University of Plymouth, UK and Karin Murris, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88080-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Contemporary picturebooks open up spaces for philosophical dialogues between people of all ages. As works of art, picturebooks offer unique opportunities to explore ideas and to create meaning collaboratively. This book considers censorship of certain wellknown picturebooks, challenging the assumptions on which this censorship is based. Through a lively exploration of children’s responses to these same picturebooks the authors paint a way of working philosophically based on respectful listening and creative and authentic interactions, rather than scripted lessons. This dialogical process challenges much current practice in education. The authors propose that a courageous and critical practice of listening is central to the facilitation of mutually educative dialogue. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of education studies, philosophy of education, literacy teaching and learning, children’s literature, childhood and pedagogy.

Realizing the Rights of Children Routledge Research in Education
Edited by Anne Smith, University of Otago, New Zealand and Joan Durrant, University of Manitoba, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87920-0; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book describes the unfolding of a global phenomenon: the legal prohibition of physical punishment of children. Until 30 years ago, this near-universal practice was considered appropriate, necessary and a parental right. But a paradigm shift in conceptions of childhood has led to a global movement to redefine it as violence and as a violation of children’s rights. Today, many countries have prohibited it in all settings, including the home. This remarkable shift reflects profound cultural changes in thinking about children and their development, parent-child relationships, and the role of the state in family life. It has involved actors in many sectors, including academia, government, non-governmental organizations and children themselves. Documenting the stories of countries that have either prohibited corporal punishment of children or who are moving in that direction, this volume will serve as a sourcebook for scholars and advocates around the world who are interested in the many dimensions of physical punishment and its elimination.

Whatever the method, the learner should advance from one point to another, constantly improving. Growing proficiency entails growing language content. Content is complex, displaying many dimensions. Syllabus designers, textbook authors, and teachers often struggle with the monitoring of content. Computer-assisted systemization helps to handle it in a manageable framework. Besides inventorying content, it ensures more balanced selections, calculated progression, and controlled reiteration of previously learned material. It gauges the usability of authentic material in relation to the level attained. During the teaching process, it allows the instant selection of items needed for a communicative situation, focus on forms, or particular exercises. This book first describes the theoretical background for systemization, including a historical overview, with special attention to the Common European Framework and the new Profiles and Referentials. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Of Concepts and Connotations 3. Content Systemization in Historical Perspective 4. Since the 1970s: The Council of Europe's Systemic Approaches 5.

Markaridian Selverian, all of Temple University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 324pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87850-0; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85205-7; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Today, new media is both augmenting and extending the traditional classroom with a variety of technology-based tools available to both students and faculty, and has created "new" virtual classrooms for anywhere, anytime availability to education. Despite the enormous potential for technology to support the educational enterprise in this emerging "creative" economy, technologies are still not yet fully integrated in the classroom and their association with educational outcomes is as-yet unclear. This book profiles scholarly work from around the world to examine closely the effectiveness of the newest media in education at bridging the gaps among and between teachers, students and subject matter at all levels, from K-12 through adult education. These pieces are theory-based investigations with implications for future research, theory and application. Contributors examine how the fields of education and new media have evolved and are continuing to evolve pedagogically and practically, from predominantly instructivist, with a passive, oneway teaching format; to constructivist, including teacher- and learner-controlled, sensorially immersive and socially interactive exchanges. This book will be of interest to students and faculty in the areas of new media in education, including distance learning, online learning and "virtual" learning.

What’s So Important About Music Education? Routledge Research in Education
J. Scott Goble, University of British Columbia, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 338pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80054-9; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85322-1; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION What’s So Important About Music Education? addresses the history of rationales provided for music education in the United States. J. Scott Goble explains how certain factors stemming from the nation's constitutional separation of church and state, its embrace of democracy and capitalism, and the rise of recording, broadcast, and computer technologies have brought about changes in the ways music teachers and concerned others have conceptualized music and its importance in education. In demonstrating how many of the personal and societal benefits of musical engagement have come to be obscured in the nation’s increasingly diverse public forum, Goble also argues for the importance of musical engagement in human life and for the importance of music in education. The book concludes with recommendations for teaching the musical practices of the nation's constituent cultural communities in schools in terms of their respective cultural meanings. CONTENTS 1. Music as an Academic Subject in the Public Schools of the United States: An Inherent Cultural Tension 2.

Education Policy, Space and the City Routledge Studies in Educational Policy and Politics
Kalervo N. Gulson, University of British Columbia, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99556-6; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the relationships between educational policy, space and place. Gulson demonstrates how education policy is multi-variant in nature and how space, as both lens of analysis and object of study, is crucial to understanding and analysing education policy. The book utilizes three qualitative case studies of educational policy change that converge with urban policy directions, notably those effecting urban renewal and regeneration, in the inner city areas of London, Vancouver and Sydney. These studies of the reorganisation of urban schooling examine policy’s role in the production and amelioration of social and educational inequality, primarily connected to social class and ‘race’. With urbanisation posited as one of the central concerns for the future of the planet, relationships between the city, educational policy, and social and educational inequality deserve sustained examination. Gulson’s book is a rich and needed contribution to these areas of study. CONTENTS

Changing Schools in an Era of Globalization John Chi-Kin Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Brian Caldwell, University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99330-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Much has been written about globalization and the challenge of preparing young people for the new world of work and life in times of complexity and continuous change. However, few works have examined how globalization has and will continue to shape education in the East. This volume discusses education within the context of globalization and examines what is occurring in schools and systems of education in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, and Australia. Closer examination of recent developments and current trends reveal the same turbulence and a range of common issues in areas such as assessment, curriculum, leadership, management of change, pedagogy, policy, professional capacity and technology. This volume demonstrates the commonalities and differences and offers tremendous insight into the way things are done in places where student achievement is high but there is also a sense of urgency in continuing an agenda of change.

Governing Sustainable Development Interventions
Carl Death, Dublin City University, Ireland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56926-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Multilateral UN summits from Stockholm to Copenhagen have set the pace and direction for the global governance of sustainable development. The 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) was a key moment in the evolution of sustainable development as a discourse and summitry as a technology of government. It firmly established multi-stakeholder partnerships, carbon-trading and communication strategies as key techniques for dealing with environmental crises. It was also a significant event in terms of South African domestic politics, witnessing some of the largest protests since the end of Apartheid. Carl Death draws on Foucauldian governmentality literature to argue that the Johannesburg Summit was a key site for the refashioning of sustainable development as advanced liberal government; for the emergence of an exemplary logic of rule; and for the mutually interdependent relationship between ‘mega-events’ (summits, world cups, Olympic games) and ‘mega-protests’ understood as Foucauldian counter-conducts. Analysing detailed and original research on the WSSD, Death argues that summits work to make politically sustainable a global order which is manifestly unsustainable. Paradoxically however, they also provide opportunities for the status quo to be protested and resisted. This work will be of great interest to scholars of development studies, global governance and environmental politics. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Power, Discourse, Government 3.

Beyond Territory Regions and Cities
Edited by Maryann Feldman, University of North Carolina, USA, Harald Bathelt and Dieter F. Kogler, both of University of Toronto, Canada, PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 368pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49327-7; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The main purpose of the book is to discuss new trends in the dynamic geography of innovation and argue that in an era of increasing globalization, two trends seem quite dominant: rigid territorial models of innovation, and localized configurations of innovative activities. The book brings together scholars who are working on these topics. Rather than focusing on established concepts and theories, the book aims to question narrow explanations, rigid territorializations, and simplistic policy frameworks; it provides evidence that innovation, while not exclusively dependent on regional contexts, can be influenced by place-specific attributes. The book will bring together new empirical and conceptual work by an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars from areas such as economic geography, innovation studies, and political science. Based on recent discussions surrounding innovation systems of different types, it aims to synthesize state-of-the-art know-how and provide new perspectives on the role of innovation and knowledge creation in the global political economy.

Can Neighbourhoods Save the City? Regions and Cities
Edited by Frank Moulaert, University of Newcastle, Erik Swyngedouw, University of Manchester, UK, Flavia Martinelli, Università Mediterranea di Reggio, Reggio Calabria, Italy and Sara Gonzalez, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48588-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION For decades, neighbourhoods been pivotal sites of social, economic and political exclusion processes, and civil society initiatives, attempting bottom-up strategies of re-development and regeneration. In many cases these efforts resulted in the creation of socially innovative organizations, seeking to satisfy the basic human needs of deprived population groups, to increase their political capabilities and to improve social interaction both internally and between the local communities, the wider urban society and political world. SINGOCOM - Social INnovation GOvernance and COMmunity building – is the acronym of the EU-funded project on which this book is based. Sixteen case studies of socially-innovative initiatives at the neighbourhood level were carried out in nine European cities, of which ten are analysed in depth and presented here. The book compares these efforts and their results, and shows how grassroots initiatives, alternative local movements and self-organizing urban collectives are reshaping the urban scene in dynamic, creative, innovative and empowering ways. It argues that such grass-roots initiatives are vital for generating a socially cohesive urban condition that exists alongside the official state-organized forms of urban governance. The book is thus a major contribution to socio-political literature, as it seeks to overcome the duality between community-development studies and strategies, and the solidarity-based making of a diverse society based upon the recognising and maintaining of citizenship rights. It will be of particular interest to both students and researchers in the fields of urban studies, social geography and political science. CONTENTS 1.

Tassilo Herrschel, University of Westminster, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48938-6; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book makes a new contributution to the current lively debate on city regional governance, offering a genuinely comparative approach, covering Europe (east and west) and North America, and thus different ‘cultures’ of city regionalism. Drawing on a series of case studies conducted by the author the main focus of this book is on the interface between state structure power and the established way of ‘doing urban policy’ on the one hand, and the pressures and challenges of globalisation, on the other. Hershel argues that the spatiality of cities has become less clear cut, as has the notion of ‘region’, adding to the challenges of defining and understanding city regions. Whether ‘real’ or ‘imagined’, they are, however, becoming the main arena of these various interacting, competing and interdependent processes and structures. This timely contribution to the existing literature examines the intricacies of these processes and issues. CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction: Cities, City regions, State and Globalisation, Chapter 2: Defining City Regions, Chapter 3: City Regions and Globalisation, Chapter 4: City Regions and the State, Chapter 5: Governance of City Regions, Chapter 6: Examples of City-regional governance under different ‘state cultures’ in Europe and North America, Chapter 7: Summary and Conclusion: City-Regional Governance, State and Globalisation.
Controversies in Local Economic Development Regions and Cities
Martin Perry, Massey University, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48968-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Efforts to promote the economic development of individual localities engage the attention of academics, students and professionals. Many such analysts argue that competitive advantage can be fostered within local economies, complimenting the advent of a more globalised economy. Intensified efforts to build new economic foundations show no sign of abating despite the apparent increase in the international mobility of businesses and employment. Unpicking the arguments supporting different strategies for promoting local economic development, Controversies in Local Economic Development is an introductory guide to some of the major ideas and policy tools that have influenced academic debate and development practice. Taking the view that economic processes are mechanisms that promote desired outcomes only in particular contexts, the book asks questions of both academic debates and the prescriptions of policy experts. CONTENTS Chapter 1 – Local economic development as controversy, Chapter 2 – The case for local economic development, Chapter 3 – The learning region, Chapter 4 – Enterprise and new venture growth, Chapter 5 – Innovation and employment, Chapter 6 – Enterprise clusters, Chapter 7 – Inward investment beyond zero sum, Chapter 8 – Being business friendly, Chapter 9 – Quartering the creative class, Chapter 10 – Prospects for local economic development

134 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In large cities in developed countries, the share of manufacotruing has declined drastically in the last decades and the share of service has grown as many manufacturing firms have closed or moved to lower-cost locations. The process of deindustrialization is often seen as part of the inevitable shift towards a knowledge based economy and urban economies come to rely on research and development, financial services, tourism and the creative industries. This book looks at the changing link between manufacturing and knowledgebased activities in urban regions. The authors develop a new framework drawing on insights from organization studies and regional economic literature looking at various international case studies in Western and Eastern Europe, South America and Asia.

Migration in the 21st Century Regions and Cities
Edited by Kim Korinek and Thomas N. Maloney, both of the University of Utah, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; ÂŁ85.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77914-2; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this volume, we examine the challenges and opportunities created by global migration at the start of the 21st century. Our focus extends beyond economic impact to questions of international law, human rights, and social and political incorporation. We examine immigrant outcomes and policy questions at the global, national, and local levels. Our primary purpose is to connect ethical, legal, and social science scholarship from a variety of disciplines in order to raise questions and generate new insights regarding patterns of migration and the design of useful policy. While the book incorporates studies of the evolution of immigration law globally and over the very long term, as well as considerations of the magnitude and determinants of immigrant flows at the global level, it places particular emphasis on the growth of immigration to the United States in the 1990s and early 2000s and provides new insights on the complex relationships between federal and state politics and regulation, popular misconceptions about the economic and social impacts of immigration, and the status of 'undocumented' immigrants.

135 of policy formation and multi-level governance operations – from local to trans-national agendas. Promoting increased awareness and understanding of these issues is the main purpose of the book, as well as harnessing the extensive capacity and ‘knowledge’ within these countries that can greatly enrich the discourse within an enlarged ‘epistemic community’ of European spatial planning academics, practitioners and policy-makers. The recently acquired CEE dimension provides a unique opportunity to examine the evolution of existing ‘epistemic communities’ as well as to explore the potential emergence of new ones.

Shrinking Cities Routledge Advances in Geography
Edited by Karina M. Pallagst, University of California at Berkeley, USA, Thorsten Wiechmann, Institute of Ecological and Regional Development, Germany and Cristina Martinez-Fernandez, University Western Sydney, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80485-1; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The shrinking city phenomenon is a multidimensional process that affects cities, parts of cities or metropolitan areas around the world that have experienced dramatic decline in their economic and social bases. Shrinkage is not a new phenomenon in the study of cities. However, shrinking cities lack the precision of systemic analysis where other factors now at work are analysed: the new economy, globalisation, aging population (a new population transition) and other factors related to the search for quality of life or a safer environment. This volume places shrinking cities in a global perspective, setting the context for in-depth case studies of cities within Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Germany, France, Great Britain, South Korea, Australia, and the USA, which consider specific economic, social, environmental, cultural and land-use issues.

This is expected to have profound effects on the location and productivity of the world’s ecosystems. Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to studying the direct effects of climate change on agriculture and coastal systems, comparatively little attention has been devoted to studying the impacts on the world’s forests. Yet virtually every forest system around the world is expected to be influenced by climate change; from tropical forests in Africa or the Amazon to polar forests in Canada or Russia. This book discusses important scientific and policy relevant information about climate change and global forests.

Climate Change and the Private Sector Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Craig Hart PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $149.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77475-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The private sector is increasingly engaged in the climate change issue as it has become clear that climate risks potentially affect financial markets and solutions to climate change will require a response from those quarters. The purpose of this book is to contribute to new areas of research by examining the role of the private sector in addressing the challenges of climate change. Amongst the issues explored are: - the risks posed by climate change to private investment in critical infrastructure, - the potential effectiveness of financial instruments for mitigating climate risks - the cost of developing a long-term solution through clean energy infrastructure, the capacity of capital markets to finance clean energy infrastructure on necessary scale - the potential for climate change to cause bankruptcy of firms and market collapse Until recently, both academic and policy circles, nationally and internationally, have ignored the critical role the private sector and financial system must play in addressing climate change.

The Cooperation Challenge of Economics and the Protection of Water Supplies Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Joan Hoffman PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77470-3; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION How can we build the institutions that will promote the cooperation needed to meet our intertwined environmental and economic needs? Efforts to meet these twin goals in New York City’s watershed collaborations offer some guidance. The experience provides lessons in addressing scattered sources of pollution, encouraging environmentally compatible economic development, and coping with conflicts that are part of the collaboration process. It also yields insights into what we need to work effectively towards sustainable economic development. This book identifies many barriers to achieving the cooperation necessary to solving our water problems and discusses how watershed collaborations are a means to overcoming those barriers. Historical experience and lessons from other watershed collaborations informed the design of New York City’s complex watershed collaboration which is shown to contain the elements of a "green milieu" that can foster sustainable economic development. The particular challenges to the collaboration’s environmental and economic goals created by the watershed’s rural economy, farming and forestry are described. The unusual inclusion of the analysis of the economic aspects and effects of collaboration, of the relationship between collaboration and sustainable development, and of the processes of implementation and conflict make this book especially valuable to those interested in collaboration, regulation, environmental cooperation and conflict, watershed protection, economic development in general, and sustainable economic development in particular.

Increasing intensity of resource extraction, land use, freshwater use and use of marine environments will cause large impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems and their services. Besides the projected doubling of food consumption over the first 50 years of the twentieth century, the growing demand for biofuels and other biophysical products will challenge ecosystem managers worldwide, because of the need to optimize ecosystems with respect to multiple needs. The aim of this book is to show how the increase in international trade of biophysical commodities can damage global ecosystems and their services, how those damages can be accounted for in Life Cycle Assessment and Green National Accounting and finally how instruments in the public and private sector can help to achieve a more sustainable global trade. The focus is on the global ecosystem impact of traded products due to land use, freshwater use and use of marine environments. CONTENTS 1.

Environmental Efficiency, Innovation and Economic Performances Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Anna Montini, University of Bologna, Italy and Massimiliano Mazzanti, University of Ferrara, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47852-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book deals with the increasingly complex issues of eco-innovation. Eco-innovation is becoming a conceptual reference point for many regional and international public policies and management strategies. Since 2000, this field of research has been focusing on environmental innovation, particularly related to the intensity of emissions, and economic performance and efficiency. There are two reasons for this growing interest. The first is that environmental performance is one of the main economic policy goals of European countries thanks to its relevance to the Lisbon Strategy and the Göteborg priorities for sustainable development. The second, which is partly linked to the first, is related to the growing impact of environmental regulation on private sector activity in many European countries. This volume brings together microeconomics studies on firms’ eco and economic performance both in the industrial and service sector; by considering a sector based perspective rooted mainly in the exploitation of NAMEA data; at regional level, and a macroeconomic analysis of the environment, income and welfare. This collection brings together the best of recent research in the area of eco-innovation and in its entirety is an excellent source of knowledge for postgraduates and researchers students of Environmental and Ecological Economics alike. As well as fully developing the theoretical aspects of its topics, these essays are also strongly policyoriented and will be of interest to anyone seeking information an applied perspective.

Environmental Policies for Air Pollution and Climate Change in the New Europe Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Caterina De Lucia, University of York, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 216x138 mm; 136pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49814-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The interlinked issues of air pollution and energy policies in an enlarged Europe are currently subjects of major interest in economic, environmental, geography and regional sciences. This interest is understandable given the considerable consequences on human health and on climate change issues at not only a European, but a global level. In addition, the recent effects of economic fluctuation and oil prices as well as the actual restructuring of the European energy supply and security market raise a great deal of policy challenges. These issues have become an increasingly relevant concern, as the optimal design of policy by centralised European institutions has come under greater scrutiny. This book presents an integrated approach to recent regulations on air pollution with particular emphasis on transborder air pollution, climate change and energy policies in the new Europe. This integrated vision embraces the extent to which global pollution influences policy decisions at different institutional levels; the magnitude, by virtue of policy simulation analysis, of environmental policy tools (i.e. environmental taxes) on aggregate welfare and transboundary air emissions fluxes in light of the recent enlargement process; the European Trading System and its flexible mechanisms to curb carbon emissions and fulfil the European Union Kyoto Protocol’s commitments; and the developments of the new European energy strategy and its interdependencies across energy requirements, innovation, competitiveness and climate change. The book is primarily aimed at Postgraduates and Postdoctoral research students in economics, environmental economics, environmental sciences, or environmental policy disciplines. However, it should also be of interest to environmental economists, energy policy analysts, members of governmental and nongovernmental agencies dealing with environmental policy, climate change or air pollution. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. European Air Pollution Regulation 3. A Case Study on Modelling Transboundary Air Pollution Policy in an Enlarged Europe 4. Market Based Approach to Air Pollution and Climate Change 5. New EU Policy Initiatives for Air Pollution and Climate Change
The Future of Helium as a Natural Resource Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Edited by William J. Nuttall, Richard Clarke and Bartek Glowacki, all of the University of Cambridge, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57697-0; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The purpose of the book is to inform the reader as to the future for Helium: a most unusual substance of significant high technology relevance and key natural resource. The frame of reference is international and not just American: helium is globalizing Commercial helium is a by-product of the natural gas industry. The relationship of helium supply to natural gas is fundamental and has not been studied extensively in the past. The global natural gas industry is part way through a profound change with increasing emphasis on liquefied natural gas. This has major consequences for helium supply. The authors turn their attention to helium supply and demand; most helium studies having previously been excessively focused on the supply-side. Chapters study the potential impact of helium in a number of fields, including medical imaging and the nuclear industry, as well its influence in major national economies such as Russia and India.
Optimal Control of Age-structured Populations in Economy, Demography, and the Environment Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
139 PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $170.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77651-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book covers a wide range of topics in mathematical modelling of interlinked economic, technological and environmental processes. The main unifying theme of the book is the integration of applied mathematical models that describe and optimize the mutual impact of economy, demography, technological change, and the environment on global, regional and local levels. Emphasis is placed on optimization methods and deterministic dynamic models that take age structures, delay effects, and non-standard decision variables into account, and the authors explicitly deal with the age structure of assets, resources, and populations under study. The integrated interdisciplinary modelling has enormous potential for discovering new insights in global and regional development. The articles illustrate the fruitful interaction between applied mathematics, economics, demography, environment sciences, management sciences, and operations research in exploiting global and local change.

Participation in Environmental Organizations Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Benno Torgler, Alison Macintyre, both of Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and Maria A. Garcia-Valiñas, University of Oviedo, Spain PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 286pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-44631-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION For decades, social scientists have searched for factors that shape pro-environmental behaviour. However, only a few studies have investigated the causes and consequences of participation in environmental organizations. This book fills the gap by analysing in detail the determinants of environmental participation and its consequences in different parts of the world. Benno Torgler, María A. García-Valinas and Alison Macintyre seek the answer to several questions regarding who is working towards positive outcomes for our environment, what sort of social and institutional context will assist voluntary participation, what sort of attitudes are related to positive environmental behavior, and which countries are active on the intergovernmental stage. By focusing on voluntary participation in environmental organizations, we are able to determine the level of willingness to work towards a solution for environmental problems. This allows an insight into the motivations and attitudes of individuals and nations and how these factors can affect environmental cooperation. Participation in Environmental Organizations sheds light on who is liable to participate and will help to see whose priorities and values are forwarded through voluntary activities and to what extent voluntary participation can become representative. Thus, the book provides a unique examination of citizens’ willingness to participate in environmental organizations. The book will be of interest to Economics students and researchers alike who seek a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of environmental participation. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Social Capital and Institutions 3. Participation in Environmental Organization: What Matters? 4. Participation in Environmental Organizations: An Explorative Approach 5.

Its possibilities and limits, its successful design options and its restrictions will all be placed under the microscope, with a focus not only on “traditional” fields of application including air quality and climate policy, but new and emerging fields in which permit trading has been brought to bear: biodiversity, land use policy, water policy amongst them. The authors have set out with the following intentions: - to demonstrate how lessons learned in established policy fields can be transferred to new fields of application to fill specific research gaps in instrument choice and instrument design with respect to permit trading in emerging fields of application - to contribute to instrument choice in environmental policy by delivering a comparative analysis of market-based instrument permit trading. The primary focus will be on practical and empirical analyses of existing and emerging permit trading schemes and the majority of the contributions are of an empirical nature. However, the book will be supplemented by analyticaltheoretical considerations including mechanism design and implementation issues. An overview chapter summarize the central messages of the chapters in a comparative way and helps fill a substantial gap in the existing literature on permit trading. CONTENTS 1.

Preference Data for Environmental Valuation Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Tim Haab, Ohio State University, USA, Ju-Chin Huang, University of New Hampshire, USA and John Whitehead, Appalachian State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77464-2; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The monetary valuation of environmental goods and services has evolved from a fringe field of study in the late 1970s and early 1980s to a primary focus of environmental economists over the past decade. Despite its rapid growth, practitioners of valuation techniques often find themselves defending their practices to both users of the results of applied studies and, perhaps more troubling, to other practitioners. One of the more heated threads of this internal debate over valuation techniques revolves around the types of data to use in performing a valuation study. In the infant years of the development of valuation techniques, two schools of thought emerged: the revealed preference school and the stated preference school, the latter of which is perhaps most associated with the contingent valuation method. In the midst of this heated debate an exciting new approach to non-market valuation was developed in the 1990s: a combination and joint estimation of revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) data. This book provides a systematic, cohesive and in-depth discussion of the theory and methods of joint estimation, as well as showcasing recent developments in theory and methods of data combination and joint estimation via a set of original, state-of-the-art studies that are contributed by leading researchers in the field.
The Taxation of Petroleum and Minerals: Principles, Problems and Practice Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Edited by Philip Daniel, Michael Keen and Charles McPherson, all of the International Monetary Fund, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 368pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56921-7; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There are few areas of economic policy-making in which the returns to good decisions are so high—and the punishment of bad decisions so cruel—as in the management of natural resource wealth. Rich endowments of oil, gas and minerals have set some countries on courses of sustained and robust prosperity; but they have left others riddled with corruption and persistent poverty, with little of lasting value to show for squandered wealth. And amongst the most important of these decisions are those relating to the tax treatment of oil, gas and minerals. This book will be of interest to Economics postgraduates and researchers working on resource issues, as well as professionals working on taxation of oil, gas and minerals/mining. CONTENTS

Valuation of Regulating Services of Ecosystems Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics
Pushpam Kumar and Michael Wood, both of University of Liverpool, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56987-3; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Policy and management decisions are often made on financial grounds. However, the economic value of the benefits that people derive from ecosystems, that is, ecosystem services, may not be fully recognised and hence ecosystem considerations may not be incorporated adequately into decision-making processes. This is particularly true for regulating services, the benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes, the valuation of which requires an interdisciplinary approach. In essence, valuation is a problem solving strategy and a problem is a problem, it does not respect the boundary of any particular discipline. The valuation of regulating services is an evolving field of ecological economics. In this book, Professor Pushpam Kumar and Professor Michael D. Wood have invited some of the foremost international experts in the field of ecosystem services valuation to contribute chapters on the valuation of regulating services and highlight some of the main obstacles to the implementation and acceptance of these methodologies in the context of decision-making. The contributors explore the theoretical underpinning of valuation of ecosystem services and demonstrate ways in which these theories can be applied to case-specific problems in order to inform decision-making processes. This collection clarifies some of the doubt and uncertainty regarding the valuation of regulating services. Innovative methodologies in this field have started to emerge and in coming years there may be much further discussion on this topic as methodologies and understanding continue to evolve. This is a highly active area of interdisciplinary research with far reaching social and environmental implications, and this book should be of interest to those who are new to the field, as well as established experts, in moving both theory and practice forward.

142 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the debates surrounding land and agrarian reform in South Africa after the transition to democracy in 1994. In particular, it explores how these reforms, and particular those that potentially make access easier, have created new options for and broadened the use of land and natural resources. Reform-minded policies in South Africa have assumed that if access to land and other natural resources is less problematic, the use of these resources are intensified which in turn would alter the structure and dynamics of rural and urban poverty. The book examines in detail, and from several disciplinary perspectives, whether and how this has occurred, and if not, why. A key argument that the book pursues is whether land reform has resulted in transformed the use of natural and other strategic resources. This book explores a combination of new or alternative meanings of land and unlike most analysis and commentaries on land reform, pursues an analysis of land reform dynamics at various levels of aggregation. These chapters go further than simply offering a one sided perspective of land and agrarian reforms and instead combines field and empirical studies and more ethnographic explorations to come to terms with empirical realities.

It deals with an important contemporary policy issue, how best to ensure that an agriculturally-based policy can contribute to the development of rural regions. It tackles this problem in a number of different but complementary ways, primarily by the development of a unique and innovative dynamic systems model, POMMARD (a Policy Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development).
India’s New Economic Policy Routledge Studies in Development and Society
Edited by Waquar Ahmed, Mount Holyoke College, USA, Amitabh Kundu, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India and Richard Peet, Clark University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 376pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80188-1; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84681-0; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Conventional interpretations of the New Economic Policy introduced in India in 1991 see this program of economic liberalization as transforming the Indian economy and leading to a substantial increase in the rate of India’s economic growth. But in a country like India, growth is not enough. Who benefits from the new growth regime, and can it significantly improve the conditions of livelihood for India’s 800 million people with incomes below $2.00 a day? This edited volume looks at international policy regimes and their national adoption under strategic conditions of economic crisis and coercion, and within longer-term structural changes in the power calculus of global capitalism. The contributors examine long-term growth tendencies, poverty and employment rates at the national level, regional level and local levels in India; the main growth centers; the areas and people left out; the advantages and deficiencies of the existing policy regime, and alternative economic policies for India. Bringing together the leading figures in the discussion on India’s economic policy, this volume is the authoritative critical study of India’s New Economic Policy.

Carmen Richerzhagen, German Development Institute, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 291pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87224-9; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION During the last ten years the enormous global loss of biodiversity has received remarkable attention. Among the numerous approaches undertaken to stop or lessen this process, access and benefit-sharing (ABS), a market-based approach, has emerged as among the most prominent. In theory, ABS turns biodiversity and genetic resources from an open access good to a private good and creates a market for genetic resources. It internalizes the resources’ positive externalities by pricing the commercial values for research and development and makes users pay for it. Users’ benefits are shared with the resource holders and set incentives for the sustainable use and the conservation of biodiversity. Carmen Richerzhagen, however, finds that in practice there are significant questions about the effectiveness of the approach in the protection of biodiversity and about the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the commercialization. Utilizing the empirical findings of three case studies of biodiversity-providing countries - Costa Rica, the Philippines and Ethiopia - and one case study of a community of user countries, the European Union (EU), Richerzhagen examines the effectiveness of ABS through the realization of its own objectives.

Social Development Routledge Studies in Development and Society
Edited by Manohar S. Pawar, Charles Sturt University, Australia and David R. Cox, La Trobe University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 274pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87926-2; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84701-5; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This edited collection demonstrates that the ideas inherent in social development are practical and not utopian. By discussing and delineating a social development approach, the book argues the need for practicing it at local or grassroots-level communities to promote universal social justice and wellbeing. Towards this end, several leading scholars have presented critical and inspiring thoughts on the significance and usefulness in development of genuine participation of people, bottom-up strategies, self-reliance, capacity building, and egalitarian and empowering partnerships. They also delve into hitherto neglected aspects of social development related to preparing personnel for social development work, ethical imperatives and a new social development paradigm. The world’s contemporary problems persist in part because the social development approach in its comprehensive form has not been planned and implemented at local, national and global levels. Social Development presents the optimistic argument that the application of social development ideas can help create a world in which almost all people’s wellbeing can be significantly enhanced.

144 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book draws on a three-year programme of research undertaken in sub-Saharan Africa, involving research teams in six countries looking at the role of donor interventions in the context of African smallholder participation in higher-value markets for agricultural and food products, both domestically and through exports to industrialized countries. . In so doing, it explores the interface between donor-led interventions and the actions of the private sector, and of government, in developing countries. Put bluntly, this book investigates ‘what works and what doesn’t’. Thus, the chapters ‘throw light’ on the nature of higher-value markets for agricultural and food products, presents the critical processes determining smallholder participation in higher-value markets for agricultural and food products and relations to the level and forms of quality standards applied and examines the extent to which smallholders are actually participating in higher-value markets with differing levels of quality standards and the challenges they face in doing so and the role of donor interventions in facilitating the participation of smallholders in higher-value markets for agricultural and food products and the interface with private and public sector initiatives in developing countries.

Assessing the Impact of Prospective Trade Reforms: The Case of EU-ACP Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Edited by Oliver Morrissey, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55403-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The European Union (EU) has provided trade preferences to the former colonies of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions since 1975 but these preferences have been of limited value and found to be incompatible with WTO rules. To continue preferences, economic partnership agreements (EPAs) were established, under which the EU and regional groupings of ACP countries offer reciprocal trade preferences to each other. This volume not only assesses EPAs and the impact on ACP countries, but also provides guidance for ACP negotiators in future negotiations and provides an evaluation of methods used to analyse the impact of trade reforms. In addition to overviews of the content and process of EPAs, estimates of impacts on a range of ACP countries and evaluating how they can contribute to development, these chapters focus on specific negotiating concerns such as legal commitments, adjustment costs, impacts on poverty and food security, and regulatory reforms.

145 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Credit cooperatives in India make up one of the largest rural financial systems in the world. Playing a vital role in dispensing credit in largely agricultural areas, they are also the weakest link in the formal credit delivery system. This book provides a valuable case study of the traditional banking system in this developing economy, exploring the reasons for the poor performance of credit cooperatives in India and suggesting measures to revitalise them. Although this sector has grown along with the micro-credit sector to provide finance for the poor and the less creditworthy borrowers, financing development still remains a major problem in the developing world. However, the financial health of credit cooperatives in India has been a matter of perennial concern. The author argues that cooperatives hold great promise for financial inclusion if the financial position of the cooperatives can be consolidated. Providing a detailed analysis of the historical evolution of cooperatives in India, the book establishes the link between different segments of this institutional system and their performance in a commercial sense to show that cooperatives occupy an important place in India’s financial edifice as they play a key role in the multi-agency framework for rural credit delivery. As such, the analysis provides a valuable reference for scholars of economics, Asian economics and finance. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Evolution of Credit Cooperatives in India 3.

Culture, Institutions, and Development Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Edited by Jean-Philippe Platteau, Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, Belgium and Robert Peccoud PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58007-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There is a growing re-emergence of the old controversy between Max Weber and Karl Marx, which centres on the issue as to whether cultural factors such as social norms and values can determine real forces or are simply the endogenous outcome of such forces; this is obviously of critical importance, not least because of its policy implications. Indeed, if culture is not an autonomous factor susceptible of influencing economic realities, it does not matter and public authorities can dispense with thinking about cultural interventions. On the contrary, if culture does have real impacts, the question arises as to whether it is conducive or detrimental to economic growth, political liberalization and emancipation of individuals. In this book, these questions are discussed by a group of economists, sociologists and anthropologists in relation to several concrete development issues. Five issues receive primary attention: the role of tradition and its influence on development; the role of religion, with special reference to countries of the Middle East; the role of family, kinship, and ethnic ties in the process of development; the relation between culture and entrepreneurship; and the relation between culture and poverty. With contributions from Marcel Fafchamps, Timur Kuran and Michael Walton, analytical insights, empirical evidence, and policy implications are combined in varying proportions.

Monetary and Financial Integration in West Africa Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Temitope W. Oshikoya, West African Monetary Institute, Ghana PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58008-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Monetary and Financial Integration in West Africa details the progress, challenges faced, and potential of the project intended to create a West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) between Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Given the trend towards regionalization of economic ties across the world, especially after the successful launch of the euro, a detailed analysis of the WAMZ is needed. As this is the first book on monetary and financial integration in Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, it is an essential read for anyone interested in economic development in West Africa, and indeed in Africa as a whole. This book is extremely well-researched, with detail on virtually all aspects of economic integration in the region; with issues ranging from the institutional details of integration, trade and financial market integration, to progress on convergence of macroeconomic fundamentals to the required payments system infrastructure. The book deploys solid empirical facts and sophisticated analyses to thoroughly defend its assertions. This collection is a valuable contribution and an excellent companion book for monetary economics or international economics classes as well as African development literature. It will provide students and researchers with an exciting chance to apply concepts of, for example, optimum currency areas, central bank structure or monetary policy approaches, to a real-world case of potential monetary union. Dr. Temitope W. Oshikoya and his collaborators have written the authoritative book on the subject of monetary union in the West African Monetary Zone. As is evident in the level of detail of the book, Dr. Oshikoya brings rich field experience from his role as Director General and CEO of the West African Monetary Institute. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers in development economics; as well as policymakers, monetary authorities and development practitioners. CONTENTS 1.

The Multinational Enterprise in Developing Countries Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Edited by Rick Molz, Catalin Ratiu, both of Concordia University, Canada and Ali Taleb, HEC, Montreal, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49252-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A key distinctive feature of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) as organizations resides in the fact that they span across borders. This exposes them to dissimilar and often unfamiliar social and economic conditions as they venture in foreign countries. MNEs from industrialized economies that are active in developing countries and emerging markets face particularly challenging hurdles due to
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
147 both economic and institutional discrepancies between their home and host countries. This book focuses on the uneasy interaction between the traditional logics of developing countries and the economic logic of MNEs. The traditional logics of most developing countries are built around community-based legitimacy and an intuitive but concrete epistemology. Conversely, the economic logic of MNEs from developed economies is built around technical and economic legitimacy and an abstract intellectual epistemology. Unpacking the uneasy interactions between these two logics will help achieve MNEs’ objectives of competitiveness in developing countries as well as globally. The Montreal Local Global Research Group is a well recognized research group in formulating and researching local and global issues in strategic management from the perspective of integrating divergent dominant logics into the strategy conceptualization process, and this will be the first book to be dedicated to the study of the interaction between the traditional logic of developing country and the economic logic of Multinational Enterprise (MNE). The cultural diversity of the contributing authors and the multidisciplinary approach offers a fresh perspective from which to explore beneficial corporate and local strategies that promote long-term economic growth consistent with local traditional and cultural norms. This collection will be primarily of interest to scholars of international business, international development, and economics. Furthermore, this book is immediately relevant to decision makers in Multinational corporations, NGOs and political decision makers that mediate the interaction between local actors and corporate agents in developing and transitional economies.

Reform and Development in China Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Edited by Yang L. Yao and Ho-Mou Wu, both of Peking University, China PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00; 234x156 mm; 408pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55948-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Between 1www.routledge.com/978 and 2006, GDP growth in China maintained an annual average rate of 9.7%, meaning the Chinese economy increased by more than twelve times. This was achieved with quite unorthodox approaches to reform and development as China has adopted a gradualist approach to adopting key institutions, as well as modifying and experimenting with traditional recipes for economic growth. This collection brings together key researchers in the field from Asia, US, Europe and Australia to discuss how China has managed to push forward reforms in the face of political resistance, how the Chinese economy has maintained growth within an imperfect institutionalist environment and how the Chinese government remains effective when it relinquishes its power to the market. Specific emphasis is paid to the relevance of China’s experiences to other developing countries. This valuable contribution to the study of China’s economy covers a wide range of topics, including the historical foundations of the 30 years of reform, law and development in China, foreign direct investment, poverty reduction, market integration, income distribution, social protection, as well as demographics and population. Reform and Development in China finds both unique elements to the Chinese experience and elements which can be applied to other developing countries. In particular, China’s gradualism in economic reform, strong leadership, and emphasis on inclusive development are singled out to be potentially transferable to other developing countries. This collection will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers as well as practitioners in development economics. CONTENTS 1.

Social Protection for Africa’s Children Routledge Studies in Development Economics
Edited by Sudhanshu Handa, University of North Carolina, USA, Stephen Devereux, University of Sussex, UK and Douglas Webb, Unicef, Ethiopia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58333-6; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Social protection is currently receiving a great deal of academic and policy attention throughout Africa, but not all policy decisions taken are based on solid evidence. Social protection can be understood as interventions that reduce social vulnerability, economic risk and extreme poverty. Because of the newness of this rapidly evolving agenda, evidence on critical design choices such as targeting, and on impacts of social protection interventions, is mostly limited to case studies or small, unrepresentative surveys. This book makes a major contribution to building the evidence base, drawing on rigorous analysis of social protection programmes in several African countries, as well as original research and thinking on key topical issues in the social protection discourse. In terms of numbers, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) are the largest vulnerable group in Africa in the context of the ongoing AIDS pandemic. They also face a range of economic and social vulnerabilities that require social protection support of several kinds, from targeted ‘social cash transfers’ to education and health services to legislative change. How effectively are the needs of Africa’s vulnerable children addressed by the "new social protection agenda"? What does "child-sensitive social protection" actually entail? Are the two agendas well aligned, or are children being marginalised by the rapid spread of particular social protection measures? These are some of the questions that this book attempts to answer.

Although this approach has been vigorously critiqued from different perspectives, these critiques have not coalesced into a recognizable alternative in the development economics literature. The main objective of this book is to formulate and name an alternative to neo-liberalism, identify what is new in this approach, and project it onto the academic landscape. This book draws on the work of early developmentalists and furthers the debate, bringing together old and young scholars alike with important new contributions from Robert Wade and Ha Joon Chang. This book sets the agenda for new developmentalism, drawing on issues such as industrial policy, technology, competition, growth and poverty. CONTENTS Introduction, I. Setting the agenda , Chapter 1.

Beyond Reductionism Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics
Edited by Katharine Farrell, University of Aarhus, Denmark, Sybille van der Hove, University of Barcelona, Spain and Tommaso Luzzati, University of Pisa, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47014-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The field of ecological economics, now just over twenty years old, operates at the interface between the two sciences of ecology and economics and is, by definition, concerned with the interplay between two types of complex living systems. It lies, therefore by definition, beyond reductionism – that dominant scientific methodology which dates back to Descartes. In this respect, the story of how ecological economic methods have developed over time is also one of how new scientific methods that lie beyond reductionism have developed. Telling that story is the first basic aim of this book and this is then developed into a state of the art assessment of ecological economics as well as its likely future direction.

Carbon Responsibility and Embodied Emissions Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics
João F. D. Rodrigues, Tiago M. D. Domingos, and Alexandra P.S. Marques, all of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, Portugal PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 216x138 mm; 128pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47020-9; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Climate change policy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are currently discussed at all scales, ranging from the Kyoto Protocol to the increasingly frequent advertisement of ''carbon neutrality'' in consumer products. However, the only policy option usually considered is the reduction of direct emissions. Another potential policy tool, currently neglected, is the reduction of indirect emissions, i.e., the emissions embodied in goods and services, or the payments thereof. This book addresses the accounting of indirect carbon emissions (as embodied in international trade) within the framework of input-output analysis and derives an indicator of environmental responsibility as the average of consumer and producer responsibility. A global multi-regional input-output model is built, using databases on international trade and greenhouse gas emissions, from which embodied carbon emissions and carbon responsibilities are obtained. Carbon Responsibility and Embodied Emissions consists of a theoretical part, concerning the choice of environmental indicators, and an applied part, reporting an environmental multi-regional input-output model. It will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and researchers in Ecological Economics, Environmental Input-Output Analysis, and Industrial Ecology. CONTENTS

Wagner, State University of New York, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $135.00; 216x138 mm; 128pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77630-1; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this book Professors Pablo Martínez de Anguita and John E. Wagner put two disciplines together, regional and ecological economics, presenting a way to understand ecological economic concerns from a regional perspective, and providing a mathematical tool to measure their interrelationships. This book offers different regional economic models that explicitly include the role of the natural resources and pollutants in economic regions through the use of Social Accounting Matrixes and Input-output models. The main objective of this book is to explore Input-output and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) models by expanding the accounts to include natural resources and the environment. The proposed models in this book incorporate the forest and other natural resources and pollutants as a component in a larger model of how the economy and environment of larger areas interact. This book will be of interests to postgraduates, researchers and scientists in the fields of regional, resource, environmental, or ecological economics. CONTENTS Introduction. 1.

These key characteristics are: selfregulating cycles of key materials, a plentiful and durable energy source, an ability to adjust to changing circumstances, and the capacity for resiliency in the face of unpredictable disruptions. In separate chapters, each of these natural attributes are applied to our economy and 20 polices are recommended to shift our economy toward each of these objectives. The policies include marketable waste emission permits, a "carbon" tax, split-rate property taxation, environmental assurance bonds, a revamped home mortgage deduction, and an inheritance tax. These policies function to implement the principle of full-cost pricing in order to ensure market incentives that encourage environmentally temperate behaviour and decisions. This book will be of interest to students of Ecology and Economics, at undergraduate and postgraduate level alike, as well as anyone seeking an understanding of key ecological concepts that are critical to fully appreciating the role of natural capital in our economic affairs CONTENTS 1.

Design Economies and the Changing World Economy Routledge Studies in Human Geography

Companies located in high-cost locations either have to shift production abroad or
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
151 compete on speed of production, closeness to market, technology and design. This book explores the development and operation of design economies and design-intensive firms; countries and firms whose competitive advantage is founded upon design rather than price. The book develops a comprehensive account of the relationship between design and competitiveness by identifying and exploring the nature of design-based competitive advantage. The concept of a design economy is developed to describe countries that are increasingly creating competitive advantage based on design rather than price. Design economies are explored through an analysis of corporate strategies, the relationship between product and designer, design and designer biographies and design-centred regional and national policies. The analysis is based on the understanding that the design process functions at the intersection between production and consumption. Thus, our analysis explores the interface between consumer behaviour and the development and design of products and services. The focus of the analysis is on firms, individuals as well as national policy. This draws attention to the development of firm- and nation-based design strategies that are intended to enhance competitive advantage. An important part of the argument consists of the identification and analysis of imitators; companies and nations (China and India) that are copying designbased policies and strategies developed in Europe and elsewhere. The possibility exists that Chinese companies may add value to their production processes by ensuring that products are designed rather than just manufactured in China. Design has only recently been identified as a key competitive advantage and this book is the first to provide a comprehensive account of the role of design in both corporate and national competitiveness.

The Globalization of Advertising Routledge Studies in Human Geography
James Faulconbridge, Peter J. Taylor, J.V. Beaverstock and C. Nativel PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56716-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The role of advertising in everyday life and as a major employer in post-industrial economies is in many ways bound up with processes of contemporary globalization. At centre of the advertising industry are the global advertising agencies which have an important role in developing global brands which are reliant on advertising for their worldwide diffusion and also in developing national brands. But how is the production of advertising, whether for national or international markets, organised in leading global agencies? Where does advertising work get done and why do agencies have particular locational geographies that favour some places over others? What impact has outsourcing had on advertising work in cities such as New York and Detroit? This book explores these questions through detailed study of the contemporary work of the advertising industry in three US cities. By drawing on a previously unpublished research that collected insights in the form of quantitative and qualitative data, the book unpacks the contemporary structure and spatial organization of global advertising agencies and the way this is defined by advertising as a cultural product and time-space sensitive service. The geographies of teamwork in contemporary advertising work, intra-organizational power relations and the distribution of organizational capabilities are all explored to reveal how global agencies operate as transnationally integrated organizations. This allows understanding to be developed of the role of the offices of global agencies located in Detroit, Los Angeles and New York City in relational networks of advertising work. In particular, this book reveals how the role of New York, Detroit and Los Angeles in advertising work has changed radically over recent years. These cities in the USA – the preeminent market for advertising – have experienced both growth and decline in employment as a result of their position in global networks of advertising work, networks that operate in the context of the rise of new and emerging centres of advertising in Asia and South America.
Governance and Planning of Mega-City Regions Routledge Studies in Human Geography
Edited by Jiang Xu and G.O. Anthony Yeh, both of Hong Kong University PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 312pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56089-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Neoliberalism’s market revolution has had tremendous effect on contemporary mega-city regions. The negative consequences of market-oriented politics for territorial growth have been recognized. While a lot of attention has been given to how planners and policy makers are fighting back political fragmentation through innovative governance and planning, little has been done to reveal such practices through an international comparative perspective. Governance and Planning of Mega-City Regions provides a comparative treatment and examination of how new approaches in governance and planning are reshaping mega-city regions around the world. The contributors highlight how European mega-city regions are evolving and strategic intervention redefined to enable the integration of urban qualities in a multi-level governance environment, how traditional federal countries in North America and Australia see the promise of major policies and development initiatives finally moving ahead to herald a more strategic intervention at national and regional scales, and how transitional economies in China witness the rise of state strategies to control the articulation of

This book offers case studies written from a variety of theoretical and political perspectives by world leading scholars. It will appeal to upper level undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and policymakers interested in urban and regional planning, geography, sociology, public administrations and development studies.

In recent years these concerns are transformed into a widely-shared sense of urgency, partly due to events such as the various pandemics threatening livestock, and increasing awareness of the risks and realities of climate change, and the energy and food crises. This sense of urgency includes an awareness that our entire social system is in need of fundamental transformation. But like the earlier transition between the 1750s and 1890s from a pre-modern to a modern industrial society, this second transition is also a contested one. Sustainable development is only one of many options. This book addresses the issue on how to understand the dynamics and governance of the second transition dynamics in order to ensure sustainable development. It will be necessary reading for students and scholars with an interest in sustainable development and long-term transformative change. CONTENTS List of Figures. List of Tables. List of Textboxes.

153 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Today urban design has emerged as an important area of intellectual pursuit, involving theory, research, and pedagogy, all intended to inform and improve appearance and design of cities and the quality of the built environment. The practice of urban design has applications at many different scales -- ranging from the block or street to the metropolitan and regional landscapes, with such intermediate scales of applications as planned new communities, or conservation and design of urban neighborhoods. The field interfaces with many aspects of contemporary public policy: multiculturalism, healthy cities, environmental justice, economic development, climate change, energy conservation, sustainable development, community livability, and related issues. The companion includes original contributions from a select group of internationally renowned scholars and practitioners, addressing such questions as: What are the intellectual roots of urban design? Who are the important thinkers? What are its important research issues? What are its current best practices? What are the current innovations in its pedagogy? What are the major debates, conflicts, and contradictions? Which are the important global trends shaping the urban design practice? What are its significant disciplinary influences? The chapters are organized in the following themes: roots; theoretical perspectives; influences; technologies and methods; process; components; debates; global trends; and new directions. A basic knowledge of urban design is a requirement not just for graduate or undergraduate professional studies in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning, but also in urban studies, urban affairs, geography, and related fields. While there are introductory readers and text books in urban design, there has never been a more authoritative and comprehensive companion to these readers that includes core, foundational, and pioneering ideas and concepts, a volume that will serve not only the students and future professionals, but also the scholars, teachers, and practitioners of urban design.

Brazil, Russia, India and China are the countries that will drive growth in the world economy in the next decades. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines anthropology, sociology, development studies and the cultural industries of design and advertising, the book explores the dynamics of global capitalism from the perspective of global advertising. A series of country studies examines contemporary global advertising through political, economic and cultural perspectives. Bringing together fields of analysis that are usually discrete, or as in the case of advertising only superficially investigated, Globalisation and Advertising in Emerging Economies provides fresh insights about contemporary global priorities. The author argues that advertising plays a key role linking culture and the economy. By presenting individual case studies of advertising campaigns examples of the globalisation of specific brands are offered. Environmental implications of the expansion of advertising and its role in stimulating consumerism are explored in the context of the four emerging economies. The book offers a comparison and contrast of the individual country profiles and makes an assessment of the validity of the argument regarding their projected importance and the likelihood of their future dominance of the global economy.

Handbook of Local and Regional Development Edited by Andy Pike, Newcastle University, UK, Andres Rodriguez-Pose, London School of Economics, UK and John Tomaney, Newcastle University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £110.00 $180.00; 246x174 mm; 704pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54831-1; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Handbook of Local and Regional Economic Development provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for local and regional development in an international and multi-disciplinary context. Specifically, it aims to provide critical reviews and appraisals of the current state of the art and future development of conceptual and theoretical approaches as well as empirical knowledge and understanding of local and regional development, to encourage dialogue across the disciplinary barriers between notions of ‘local and regional development’ in the Global North and ‘development studies’ in the Global South through the international reach and scope of its coverage and contributors and to engage with and reflect upon the politics and policy of how we think about and practice local and regional development. An introduction sets out the rationale, aims and structure of the Handbook. The Handbook is organised into seven inter-related sections. Section 1 situates local and regional development in its global context. Section 2 establishes the key
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
154 issues in understanding the principles and values that help us define what is meant by local and regional development. Section 3 critically reviews the current diversity and variety of conceptual and theoretical approaches to local and regional development. Section 4 addresses questions of government and governance. Section 5 connects critically with the array of contemporary approaches to local and regional development policy. Section 6 is an explicitly global review of perspectives on local and regional development from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America and Europe. Section 7 provides reflection and discussion of the futures for local and regional development in an international and multidisciplinary context. The Handbook seeks to establish local and regional development in an international and multidisciplinary context. Its main contributions comprise, first, encouraging an approach that reflects upon and questions what we mean by ‘development’ locally and regionally in economic, social, cultural, ecological and political terms. Second, it underlines the importance of questioning the appropriateness of any ‘spaceless’ and/or ‘placeless’ generalised theory, policy and practice of local and regional development and emphasises the need to develop more context-sensitive approaches to local and regional development wedded to more foundational concerns such as democracy, equity, internationalism and solidarity. Last, it promotes an appreciation of politics and power relations and practice in multi-level, multi-agent and devolving systems of government and governance and the normative dimensions of value judgements about the kinds of local and regional development we should be pursuing.

Handbook of Urban Ecology Edited by Ian Douglas, University of Manchester, UK, David Goode, University College London, UK, Mike Houck, Portland State University, USA and Rusong Wang, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £110.00 $180.00; 246x189 mm; 608pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49813-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The birds, animals, insects, trees and plants encountered by the majority of the world’s people are those that survive in, adapt to, or are introduced to, urban areas. Some of these organisms give great pleasure; others invade, colonise and occupy neglected and hidden areas such as derelict land and sewers. Urban ecology analyses this biodiversity and complexity and provides the science to guide policy and management to make cities more attractive, more enjoyable, and better for our own health and that of the planet. This book
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
155 provides a state-of the art guide to the science, practice and value of urban ecology to help everyone understand and enjoy their urban habitat. Original contributions from leading academics and practitioners from across the world provide an in-depth coverage of the main elements of practical urban ecology. The sixty five chapters provide practitioners and students with the wealth of interdisciplinary information needed to manage the biota and green landscapes in urban areas. In six parts it deals with the philosophies, concepts and history of urban ecology; followed by consideration of the biophysical character of the urban environment and the diverse habitats found within it. It then examines human relationships with urban nature, the health, economic and environmental benefits of urban ecology before discussing the methods used in urban ecology and ways of putting the science into practice. Urban areas have high biodiversity. Urban gardens and vegetable plots have multiple benefits, from helping to reduce greenhouse gases to providing insect and bird habitats. Encounters with nature in cities help to improve our physical and mental health. The ecosystem services provided by nature in cities include cooling the urban area, reducing urban flood risks, filtering pollutants, supplying some of our food, and giving opportunities for accessible recreation. Yet protecting urban nature faces competition from other urban land uses. CONTENTS Part 1: Context, History and Philosophies: Introduction 1. Urban Ecology: Goals and Definitions N. E. Mcintyre 2.

The ability of persons and goods to move freely within the economic zone was seminal in the realisation of economic integration. Underlying this, and therefore an implied necessity for European growth, an effective transport infrastructure was essential. However, with rising awareness of environmental issues, and a closer regard to sustainability of development, European transport systems and their regulation have come under scrutiny. This book puts forward a critical analysis of the body of law and policy initiatives that constitute the EU's common transport policy. The development of the transport policy is charted through amending and founding Treaties as well as non-legislative documents. The book uses a model of sustainability as the basis for the analysis as the criteria for sustainable development were set out under Article 6 of the Treaty of Rome. However, sustainable development, when taken in the context of transport is difficult to reconcile with unbridled economic

156 growth and unchecked freedom of movement and the book identifies a contradiction at the heart of European policy which can only become more accentuated as environmental trends become more explicit. The book argues that European regulation will eventually be forced to recognize this dichotomy, and take more forceful action to protect environmental and social development, even at the cost of economic progress.

Constantine and the Christian Empire Roman Imperial Biographies
Charles M. Odahl PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 432pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57534-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Constantine and the Christian Empire is the most thoroughly researched, accessibly readable, fully illustrated and completely documented portrayal of the life and times of the first Christian emperor available in recent decades. In a seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis, Dr. Odahl has compellingly related the multiple crises and massive reforms of the late Roman world, the political career and military campaigns of the great emperor Constantine, his religious conversion to and public patronage of Christianity, and his building programs in Rome, Jerusalem, and Constantinople which transformed the pagan state of antiquity into the Christian empire of Byzantium. The author’s comprehensive knowledge of the literary sources and his extensive research into the material remains of the period mean that this volume provides a more rounded and accurate portrait of Christian emperor than ever before. Extensively illustrated and fully documented, Constantine and the Christian Empire has been a landmark publication in Roman imperial, early Christian, and Byzantine history. A genealogy chart, additional illustrations, an expanded final chapter, and updated notes and bibliography in this new edition allow this book to remain the standard account of the subject for years to come.

A period of tremendous social change, this time bore witness to the creation of an ideology of public health that influences public policy even today. The US Army Medical Department exerted tremendous influence on the methods adopted by the nation’s leading civilian public health figures and agencies at the turn of the twentieth century. Moreover the Army’s medical officers crafted a series of compelling frameworks for contextualizing racial identity and sexual morality which also influenced American perceptions of their place in the world and how they could best act to transform the physical environment to sustain whiteness in the tropics. A second critical aspect of the book recounts how medical officers struggled to acquire legitimate authority as uniformed partners to the Army’s line and staff officers. The first large conceptual overview of the role of the US Army Medical Department in American society during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book details the institutional culture and quest for legitimacy of an institution dedicated to promoting public health and scientific medicine in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Politics and Memory of Democratic Transition Routledge/Canada Blanch Studies on Contemporary Spain
Edited by Diego Muro and Gregorio Alonso, both of King's College London, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99720-1; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Spain’s political transition to democracy is often lauded as the benchmark by which many other countries explicitly declared to have measured their own democratic progress. 2008 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Spanish Constitution, and public interest in the democratization, transition, and comparative politics of this period is higher than ever before. Designed to evaluate the paradigmatic view of the Spanish transition as an ideal model for political and social change, this new and innovative volume appraises the movement towards a more democratic Spain from a variety of important perspectives including the selection of an electoral system, the role of the church, the effect of the European Community, the output of cultural products such as cinema and television, the Basque experience, and the "Pact of Oblivion," an unwritten agreement not to prosecute those involved in abuses committed by the Francoist regime. By making comparisons to other democratic transitions, synthesizing the ideas of several leading Spanish History scholars, as well as incorporating new voices involved in creating the directions of research to come, The Spanish Model offers a thorough and vital look at this key period in contemporary Spanish history, taking stock of critical lessons to be gleaned from the Spanish Transition, and pointing the way toward its future as a democratic nation.

Rural Women in the Soviet Union and Post-Soviet Russia Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series
Liubov Denisova, Russian State University of Oil and Gas PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55112-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This is the first full-length history of Russian peasant women in the 20th century in English; it fills a significant gap in the existing literature on rural studies and gender studies of the twentieth century Russia and is the first to take the story into the twenty-first century. The book offers a comprehensive overview of regulations concerning rural women: their employment patterns; marriages, divorces and family life; issues with health and raising children. Rural lives in the Soviet Union were often dramatically different from the common narrative of the Soviet history. The lives of rural women were even more demanding than those of other Soviet women, and even during the Khrushchev ‘Thaw’ in the late 1950s and early 1960s, rural women were excluded from reforms and liberating policies it promoted. The author, Luibov Denisova, is a leading expert in the field of rural gender history in Russia. She includes material from previously unavailable or unpublished collections and archives in Moscow, St Petersburg, Archangel, and Vologda; also interviews and sociological research conducted in thirty different Russian villages, alongside oral traditions such as folk songs and chastooshkas among peasant women in Russia. Overall, the book is a history of all rural women, from ordinary farm girls to agrarian professionals to prostitutes; it paints a unique and complete picture of rural women’s life in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia. CONTENTS PART I. Employment patterns among rural women 1. Unskilled labor in the countryside 2. Female mechanics and machines operators 3. Women at the animal wards 4. Women as collective farm leaders and agricultural specialists 5. Rural intelligentsia 6. Migration to cities and the position of newcomers PART II. Private Life 7.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
158 This is the third in Rudich's trilogy on the intellectual roots of opposition to Nero's rule. The author's approach is based in his own experience, as a Russian exile, of the dissident mentality in the former Soviet Union, which gives the critical treatment of the sources an intriguing personal slant. The book begins with an historical perspective on Rome's relationship with the Greeks and the Jews from their earliest contacts through the period of expansion to the fall of the Roman republic, and further chapters are dedicated to the Principate of Augustus, Judaea's 'triple administration', the political and cultural vicissitudes of Greeks, Jews and Christians in the period between the death of Augustus and the accession of Nero, the beginnings of the Christian Church, and the conditions of the Jewish community in Rome.

Examining the literature that bookmarked the origins and demise of slavocratic systems in the Caribbean--Richard Ligon’s History of Barbados (1657) and Matthew ‘Monk’ Lewis’Journal of a West India Proprietor (1834)--Sandiford defines the imaginary as a model for the collective mentalities of a particular group of people in which are reflected the archives of their cultural knowledge, the repository from which they draw their shared values, their symbolic meanings and their common beliefs.

Theorizing Medieval Geopolitics Routledge Research in Medieval Studies
Andrew Latham, Macalester College, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87184-6; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Over the past two decades or so, medieval geopolitics have come to occupy an increasingly prominent place in the collective imagination—and writings—of International Relations scholars. Although these accounts differ significantly in terms of their respective analytical assumptions, theoretical concerns and scholarly contributions, they share at least one common – arguably, defining – element: a belief that a careful study of medieval geopolitics can help resolve a number of important debates surrounding the nature and dynamics of "international" relations. There are however three generic weaknesses characterizing the extant literature: a general failure to examine the existing historiography of medieval geopolitics, an inadequate account of the material and ideational forces that create patterns of violent conflict in medieval Latin Christendom, and a failure to take seriously the role of "religion" in the geopolitical relations of medieval Latin Christendom. This book seeks to address these shortcomings by providing a theoretically guided and historically sensitive account of the geopolitical relations of medieval Latin Christendom. It does this by developing a theoretically informed picture of medieval geopolitics, theorizing the medieval-to-modern transition in a new and fruitful way, and suggesting ways in which a systematic analysis of medieval geopolitical relations can actually help to illuminate a range of contemporary geopolitical phenomena. Finally, it develops an historically sensitive conceptual framework for understanding geopolitical conflict and war more generally.

159 politician Lucius Sergius Catilina to bring together a group of disaffected Roman nobles and discontented Italian farmers in a conspiracy to overthrow the republican government at Rome and to take control of the Italian peninsula (while the proconsul Pompey the Great and the majority of Roman military units were campaigning in the Near East), and the success of the conservative optimate consul Marcus Tullius Cicero in uncovering the conspiracy, driving Catiline out of Rome, and defeating his revolutionary followers in the capital and in Etruria. The narrative reveals the political corruption, economic problems, and military instability which were leading to the demise of the republican system and the rise of an imperial government in the first century B.C. The author’s comprehensive knowledge of the ancient sources and the modern scholarship relevant to the last century of the republic has allowed him to offer a detailed and definitive account of this important episode in Roman history. In the same seamless combination of vivid narrative and historical analysis through which he enlightened the Roman imperial age of Constantine, Dr. Odahl here illuminates the Roman republican era of Cicero. This book is a significant publication in Ciceronian studies and will become the standard account of the Catilinarian Conspiracy. CONTENTS Preface Illustrations Chronology I.

Medieval Monstrosity and the Female Body Routledge Studies in Medieval Religion and Culture
Sarah Alison Miller, Duquesne University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $105.00; 229x152 mm; 242pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87359-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The medieval monster is a slippery construct, and its referents include a range of religious, racial, and corporeal aberrations. In this study, Miller argues that one incarnation of monstrosity in the Middle Ages—the female body—exists in special relation to medieval teratology insofar as it resists the customary marginalization that defined most other monstrous groups in the Middle Ages. Though medieval maps located the monstrous races on the distant margins of the civilized world, the monstrous female body took the form of mother, sister, wife, and daughter. It was, therefore, pervasive, proximate, and necessary on social, sexual, and reproductive grounds. Miller considers several significant texts representing authoritative discourses on female monstrosity in the Middle Ages: the PseudoOvidian poem, De vetula (The Old Woman) ; a treatise on human generation erroneously attributed to Albert the Great, De secretis mulierum (On the Secrets of Women) , and Julian of Norwich’s Showings . Through comparative analysis, Miller grapples with the monster’s semantic flexibility while simultaneously working towards a composite image of late-medieval female monstrosity whose features are stable enough to define. Whether this body is discursively constructed as an Ovidian body, a medicalized body, or a mystical body, its corporeal boundaries fail to form properly: it is a body out of bounds.

However, despite frequent nods at Eve's importance and brief, broad sketches of the history of her representation, there has yet to be a sustained and detailed study of the ways in which Eve was represented in antiquity and the English Middle Ages.

Williams, then a student in Britian, organized the African Association in 1897, and the first-ever Pan-African Conference in 1900. He is thus the progenitor of the OAU/AU. Some of those who attended went on to work in various pan-African organizations in their homelands. He became not only a qualified barrister, but the first Black man admitted to the Bar in Cape Town, and one of the first two elected Black borough councilors in London. These are remarkable achievements for anyone, especially for a Black man of working-class origins in an era of gross racial discrimination and social class hierarchies. Williams died in 1911, soon after his return to his homeland, Trinidad. Through original research, Origins of Pan-Africanism: Henry Sylvester Williams, Africa, and the African Diaspora is set in the social context of the times, providing insight not only into a remarkable man who has been heretofore virtually written out of history, but also into the African Diaspora in the UK a century ago.

Statistics and the Public Sphere, 1750–2000 Routledge Studies in Modern British History
Edited by Thomas H. Crook and Glen O'Hara, Oxford Brookes University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87894-4; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Contemporary public life in Britain would be unthinkable without the use of statistics and statistical reasoning. Numbers dominate political discussion, facilitating debate, while also attracting criticism on the grounds of their veracity and utility. However, the historical role and place of statistics within Britain’s public sphere has yet to receive the attention it deserves. There exist numerous histories of both modern statistical reasoning and the modern public sphere; but to date, there are no works which, quite pointedly, aim to analyse the historical entanglement of the two. Statistics and the Public Sphere, 1750-2000 addresses this neglected area of historiography, and in so doing places the present in some much needed historical perspective.

Victorians on Race Routledge Studies in Modern British History
Edward Beasley, San Diego State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 247pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88125-8; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In mid-Victorian England there were new racial categories based upon skin colour. The 'races' familiar to those in the modern west were invented and elaborated after the decline of faith in Biblical monogenesis in the early nineteenth century, and before the maturity of modern genetics in the middle of the twentieth. Not until the early nineteenth century would polygenetic and racialist theories win many adherents. But by the middle of the nineteenth century in England, racial categories were imposed upon humanity. How the idea of 'race' gained popularity in England at that time is the central focus of Victorians on Race: Racism and the Problem of Grouping in the Human Sciences. Scholars have linked this new racism to some very dodgy thinkers. Victorians on Race examines a more influential set of the era's writers and colonial officials, some French but most of them British. Attempting to do serious social analysis, these men oversimplified humanity into biologically-heritable, mentally and morally unequal, colour-based 'races'. Thinkers giving in to this racist temptation included Alexis de Tocqueville when he was writing on Algeria; Arthur de Gobineau (who influenced the Nazis); Walter Bagehot of The Economist; and Charles Darwin (whose Descent of Man was influenced by Bagehot). Victorians on Race also examines officials and thinkers (such as Tocqueville in Democracy in America, the Duke of Argyll, and Governor Gordon of Fiji) who exercised methodological care, doing the hard work of testing their categories against the evidence. They analyzed human groups without slipping into racial categorization. Author Edward Beasley examines the extent to which the Gobineau-Bagehot-Darwin way of thinking about race penetrated the minds of certain key colonial governors. He further explores the hardening of the rhetoric of race-prejudice in some quarters in England in the nineteenth century – the processes by which racism was first formed. CONTENTS 1.

From North America to Japan, within Germany, Austria and Switzerland, scholars are increasingly applying post-colonial questions and methods to the study of Germany and its culture.

This book will fill that gap and offer a broad prelude, of interest to any scholar and student of German history and culture as well as of colonialism in general.

German Colonialism, Visual Culture, and Modern Memory Routledge Studies in Modern European History
Edited by Volker Langbehn, San Francisco State University, California, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 316pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99779-9; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85690-1; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There is no overarching master narrative in understanding the history of German colonialism, and over the past decade, the study of Germany’s colonial past has experienced a dramatic transformation in its scope of inquiry. Influenced by new theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of race, nationalism, and globalization, these new studies initiate a process of reevaluating and redefining the parameters within which German Colonialism is understood. The role of visual materials, in particular, is ideal for exploring the porousness of disciplinary boundaries, though visual culture studies pertaining to German history – and especially German colonialism – have previously been almost completely neglected. Investigating visual communication and mass culture, print culture and suggestive racial politics, racial aesthetics, racial politics and early German film, racial continuity and German film, and photography, German Colonialism, Visual Culture, and Modern Memory offers compelling evidence of a German society between 1884 and 1919 that produced vibrant and heterogeneous – and at times contradictory – cultures of colonialism. This collection of new essays illustrates the dramatic changes and vast array of perspectives that have recently emerged in the study of German colonialism. In documenting the latest cutting-edge research of German colonial history, the contributors to this volume prove wrong the persistent assumptions that the creation of Germany’s colonial empire did not have any lasting impact on German political and cultural life. Their essays document how colonialism in its various forms was entwined with the inner workings of modern German life and society, especially through the cultural and technical innovations of its time. In contrast to existing research, these studies show that colonial Germany played a significant role in shaping German perceptions of racial difference, influenced German support for World War I, and facilitated the construction of German nationalism. German Colonialism, Visual Culture, and Modern Memory uniquely demonstrates that the visual culture of colonialism is closely linked to the fascination with new modes of seeing and the enigma of visual experience that have become trademarks of modernity.

The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe
Alex Marshall, University of Glasgow, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £100.00 $165.00; 234x156 mm; 384pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-41012-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Caucasus is a strategically and economically important region in contemporary global affairs. Western interest in the Caucasus has grown rapidly since 1991, fuelled by the admixture of oil politics, great power rivalry, ethnic separatism and terrorism that characterises the region. However, until now there has been little understanding of how these issues came to assume the importance they have today. This book argues that understanding the Soviet legacy in the region is critical to analysing both the new states of the Transcaucasus and the autonomous territories of the North Caucasus. It examines the impact of Soviet rule on the Caucasus, focusing in particular on the period from 1917 to 1955. Important questions covered include how the Soviet Union created ‘nations’ out of the diverse peoples of the North Caucasus; the true nature of the 1917 revolution; the role and effects of forced migration in the region;

163 how over time the constituent nationalities of the region came to re-define themselves; and how Islamic radicalism came to assume the importance it continues to hold today. A cauldron of war, revolution, and foreign interventions - from the British and Ottoman Turks to the oil-hungry armies of Hitler’s Third Reich, the Caucasus and the policies and actors it produced- not least Stalin, ‘Sergo’ Ordzhonikidze, and Anastas Mikoian - both shaped the Soviet experiment in the twentieth century, and appears set to continue to shape the geopolitics of the twenty-first. Making unprecedented use of memoirs, archives and published sources, this book is an invaluable aide for scholars, political analysts and journalists alike to understanding one of the most important borderlands of the modern world.

The Polish Government in Exile, 1939–45 Routledge Studies in the History of Russia and Eastern Europe
Bernadeta Tendyra PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45469-8; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The "Polish Question" was both the immediate cause of the Second World War, and because of Stalin’s imposition of Soviet rule on Poland at the end of the war a cause of the Cold War which followed. How to resolve the "Polish Question" was a theme which affected international relations and planning for the post-war world throughout the war, and complicating the picture hugely was the Polish government-in-exile, which was led until 1943 by General Sikorski based in London, which had its own very strong views on the future for Poland, but which was divided by intense factional in-fighting. This book examines the Polish government-in-exile, discusses its internal factions and why they existed, and assesses the government-in-exile’s wider impact. It shows how Polish exile diplomacy was more important than hitherto recognised in shaping Allied wartime policy, how the Polish exiles’ tenacious clinging to ideals of Polish nationhood shaped their policies, though not in a united way, and how Sikorski struggled, controversially in the teeth of opposition from some of his colleagues, and ultimately unsuccessfully, to establish a Polish military presence in the east alongside the Red Army, with the aim of establishing a future Poland which would be independent, but an ally, though not a subordinate, of the Soviet Union. Overall, the book demonstrates the importance of the Polish exiles in maintaining the Polish sense of nationhood, with its attendant obsession with history, martyrdom and defining insecure borders.

However, there are overwhelmingly positive counter-memories of these schools as "good and valued" among former students, teachers, and community members. Using interview data with 44 former teachers in three North Carolina counties, college and university archival materials, and secondary historical sources, the author argues that "Jim Crow’s teachers" remember from hidden transcripts—latent reports of the social world created and lived in all-black schools and communities—which reveal hidden social relations and practices that were constructed away from powerful white educational authorities. The author concludes that the national memory of "inherently inferior" all-black schools does not tell the whole story

Her invention of a new commonplace language of moral character drew on the persuasive and didactic motifs of the previous decades of African-American reform politics, but far exceeded her predecessors in crafting lessons of rhetoric for women. Focusing on the way in which Harper brought her readers a critical training for the rhetorical action of a life commitment to social reform, this book reconsiders her practice as explicitly and primarily a project of teaching. This study also places Harper's work firmly in black-nationalist lineages from which she is routinely excluded, establishes Harper as an architect of a collective African-American identity that constitutes a political and theoretical bridge between early abolitionism and 20th-century civil rights activism, and contributes to the contemporary portrayal of Harper as an important theorist of African-American feminism whose radical egalitarian ethic has lasting relevance for civil rights and human rights workers.

Ancient Graffiti in Context Edited by Jennifer Baird, Birbeck University of London, UK and Claire Taylor, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87889-0; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Graffiti are very common within the ancient world, but remain underexploited as a form of archaeological or historical evidence. This volume interrogates this cultural phenomenon and by doing so brings it into the mainstream of ancient history and archaeology. Focusing on different approaches to and interpretations of graffiti from a variety of sites and chronological contexts, Baird and Taylor pose a series of questions not previously asked of this evidence, such as: What is graffiti, and how can we interpret it? What ways, and with whom, do graffiti communicate? To what extent does graffiti represent or subvert the cultural values of the society in which it occurs? By comparing themes across time and space in the ancient world, the authors are able to define and contextualize graffiti, and provide a series of interpretative strategies for scholars and students of the ancient world. Ancient graffiti range from texts and images written or drawn both inside and outside buildings, in public and private places, to those on monuments in the city and on mountains in the countryside; what unites them conceptually is that they can be seen as actively engaging with their environment in a variety of ways. This book explores these engagements and demonstrates how differences of scale and spatial dynamics can be negotiated, and as such will be essential reading for Classical archaeologists and historians alike.

An Archaeology of Materials Chantal Conneller, University of Manchester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 140pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88130-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Social approaches to technology have become increasingly important in the field of archaeology, yet less consideration has been given to the social significance of the raw materials from which artefacts were made. Author Chantal Conneller argues that we need to take materials more seriously, that substances were caught up in significant historical relationships with people prior to and as a result of their participation in technical actions. Tracing these relationships is vital for understanding how things were made, used and discarded. This book formulates a systematic approach to the study of raw materials; one that builds on detailed technological studies of mechanical properties, but encompasses people’s broader ontologies to produce a holistic understanding of materials. Exploring how even materials in mundane, daily usage are caught up in broader understandings of the world, this volume demonstrates through case studies that the properties of materials are not fixed, but change according to context. This book builds on previous studies to coalesce a systematic approach to materials at a time when there has been a call for a greater focus on materials in material culture studies. Case studies from the western European Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, periods that have been unjustly neglected in recent archaeological theory building, are included. This book will establish a new perspective on the meaning and significance of materials, particularly those involved in mundane, daily usage, and will be a timely addition to the literature on technologies and materials.

From the late 1980s indigenous groups, radical archaeologists, anthropologists, and museum professionals campaigned for the repatriation of human remains to culturally affiliated groups who had suffered from colonization. The demands for return have however been fiercely contested by those who research the material professionally and consider it to be unique evidence. This book charts the influences at play on the contestation over human remains and examines the construction of this problem from a cultural perspective. The academic and popular literature interprets changes to museums as a result of external factors. By drawing on empirical research including extensive interviews with the claims-making groups, ethnographic work, document, media, and policy analysis, Contesting Human Remains in Museum Collections demonstrates that strong internal influences do in fact exist – laying bare the neglected but significant importance of the profession in constructing the issue. The only book to examine the construction of contestation over human remains from a sociological perspective, Contesting

The Diplomatic History of Postwar Japan Edited by Makoto Iokibe PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £25.95 $44.95; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49848-7; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Winner of the prestigious Yoshida Shigeru Prize 1999 for the best book in public history, this book presents a comprehensive and upto-date overview of Japan’s international relations from the end of the Pacific War to the present. Written by leading Japanese authorities on the subject, it makes extensive use of the most recently declassified Japanese documents, memoirs, and diaries. It introduces the personalities and approaches Japan’s postwar leaders and statesmen took in dealing with a rapidly changing world and the challenges they faced. Importantly, the book also discusses the evolution of Japan’s presence on the international stage and the important – if underappreciated role – Japan has played. The book examines the many issues which Japan has had to confront in this important period: from the occupation authorities in the latter half 1940s, to the crisis-filled 1970s; from the post-Cold War decade to the contemporary war on terrorism. The book examines the effect of the changing international climate and domestic scene on Japan’s foreign policy; and the way its foreign policy has been conducted. It discusses how the aims of Japan’s foreign relations, and how its relationships with its neighbours, allies and other major world powers have developed, and assesses how far Japan has succeeded in realising its aims. It concludes by discussing the current state of Japanese foreign policy and likely future developments.

Corpus Approaches to Evaluation Routledge Advances in Corpus Linguistics

It reviews previous work in this area and discusses the limitations and the opportunities offered by the approach in question. It also extends current work in a number of new directions: it extends the notion of ‘propositional status’ into the area of images as well as of texts; it proposes a set of ‘modal-like entities’ that cover some of the same semantic areas as modal verbs but which are difficult to observe without corpus evidence; it highlights the role of phraseology in the identification of evaluation; and it proposes a notion of ‘semantic sequence’, being that which is often said in specific discourses, and which, it is argued, is identifiable through corpus techniques

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
167 This book is concerned with cross-linguistic contrast of major grammatical categories in English and Chinese, two most important yet genetically different world languages. This genetic difference has resulted in many subsidiary differences that are, among other things, related to grammar. Compared with typologically related languages, cross-linguistic contrast of English and Chinese is more challenging yet promising. The main theme of this book lies in its focus on cross-linguistic contrast of aspect-related grammatical categories, or, grammatical categories that contribute to aspectual meaning – both situation aspect at the semantic level and viewpoint aspect at the grammatical level – in English and Chinese. The unique strength of this volume lies in that it is first corpus-based book contrasting English and Chinese. Given that the state of the art in language studies is to use corpora, the significance of the marriage between contrastive studies and the corpus methodology in this book is not to be underestimated.

The analysis begins with clusters -- i.e. repeated sequences of words -- as pointers to local textual functions, and quantitative findings are completed with qualitative analyses and linguistic patterns of various degrees of flexibility are identified. The study also incorporates comparable data from other nineteenth-century writers. With its corpus stylistics focus, the book presents an innovative approach to the language of one of the most popular English authors, taking a fresh view on aspects such as characterization, speech and body language. Thus, Mahlberg bridges the gap between linguistic and literary studies, providing a useful resource for both researchers and students of language and literature. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

To do so, she draws upon theories from discourse analysis, conversation analysis, and pragmatics to frame the analysis of feedback meetings and written tutor reports, which are then examined using comparative quantitative and qualitative corpus-based techniques. The overall aim is to determine the defining characteristics of this genre, focusing especially on pragmatic factors, with the ultimate goal of investigating the salient aspects responsible for making feedback both effective and affective. Farr's research draws upon a spoken corpus of feedback interactions and a written corpus of tutor reports from language teacher education and is also strongly informed by data in the form of diary reflections and questionnaire responses from student teachers and questionnaire responses from the relevant tutors.

Gerlinde Mautner, Vienna University of Economics and Business , Austria PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 216pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99814-7; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Language plays a central role in creating and sustaining the market society—a society, that is, in which market exchange is no longer simply a process, but an all-encompassing social principle. The social domains affected include education, politics and religion. Around the world, government departments have re-defined themselves as service providers; universities produce graduates; job seekers are asked to package themselves more effectively, and there are consultants specializing in church marketing. And as individuals, too, we are supposed to brand ourselves, sell ourselves and strategically manage our personal relationships. Through an intricate dialectic, such patterns of linguistic choices reinforce the social structures that shape them, further consolidating the marketization process. Marketization thus emerges as a globally unfolding process in which language holds a key position as both cause and effect, and as both subject and object. The book examines these phenomena from a linguistic and critical perspective, drawing on critical discourse analysis, sociological treatises of market society, and critical management studies.

Language Mixing and Code-Switching in Writing Routledge Critical Studies in Multilingualism
Edited by Mark Sebba, Lancaster University, UK, Shahrzad Mahootian, North Eastern Illinois University, USA and Carla Jonsson, Stockholm University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87946-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION After many years in which interest in language alternation has focussed almost entirely on spoken code-switching, recently there has been renewed interest in written mixed-language texts. However, at the moment there is no general agreement on what constitutes the subject area and there is no widely applicable framework for analysis. The aim of this volume is to correct the deficiency just mentioned. Contributors introduce a range of approaches applied to different types of ‘multilingual texts’ (this term is used as an inclusive one, which covers both 'code-switching' in a traditional sense and other types of language mixing), and the collection will cover a range of different languages (including different scripts) and research methods. New perspectives developed in this book will be: the development of approaches to analysis which are specific to written discourse rather than based on spoken discourse; the introduction of approaches from the new literacy studies, treating mixed-language literacy from a practice perspective; the drawing together of 'old' and 'new' media types, e.g. medieval manuscripts and text messaging.

Multilingualism, Discourse, and Ethnography Routledge Critical Studies in Multilingualism
Edited by Marilyn Martin-Jones and Sheena Gardner, both of University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $130.00; 229x152 mm; 356pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87494-6; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The last two decades have seen a rapidly growing interest, internationally, in multilingualism and multilingual literacy and in the ways in which multilingualism is represented in the media and in public discourse. This is largely due to the significant linguistic, cultural and demographic changes that have been ushered in by globalisation, transnational population flows, the advent of new technology and the changing political and economic landscape of Europe and the accession of new nation-states to the European Union. In addressing the changing field of multilingualism, this volume hopes to: to focus on cutting edge research on multilingualism which incorporates critical, interpretive perspectives to exemplify the range of approaches to description and analysis which are currently employed within this strand of research on multilingualism to consider the methodological issues which arise in particular kinds of studies in particular sociolinguistic spaces.

Robert May PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-32238-6; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This volume brings together a series of essays that explicate and explore the author's views on the role and position of logical form in linguistic theory. The essays are devoted to the conceptual and empirical justification of the idea that the syntax of natural language represents the logical form of sentences, and that the collection of these representations constitute a distinct level of linguistic representation, known as LF .
Romani Writing Routledge Research in Literacy
Paola Toninato, University of Warwick, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80590-2; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Roma (commonly known as 'Gypsies') have largely been depicted in writings and in popular culture as an illiterate group. However, as Paola Toninato demonstrates, the Roma have a deep understanding of literacy and its implications, and use writing for a range of different purposes. While some Romani writers adopt an 'oral' use of the written medium, which is instrumental in opposing and 'deconstructing' anti-Gypsy stereotypes, other Romani authors use writing for purposes of identity-building. Writing is perceived by Romani activists and intellectuals as a key factor in establishing a shared identity and introducing a common language that transcends linguistic and geographical boundaries between different Romani groups. As Toninato makes clear, Romani authors, acting

170 in-between different cultures and communication systems, regard writing as an act of 'cultural mediation' through which they are able to 're-write' and 'negotiate' their identity while retaining their ethnic specificity. Indeed, Toninato concludes by emphasizing how Romani authors have started to create self-images in which the Roma are no longer portrayed as 'objects', but become 'subjects' of written representation.
Metaphor and Reconciliation Routledge Studies in Linguistics
Lynne Cameron, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $125.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95675-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In 1984, Jo Berry’s father, a member of the British government, was killed when an IRA bomb planted by Pat Magee exploded in a Brighton hotel. Magee was later caught and imprisoned for life. Jo Berry set out to understand why the Brighton bomb had happened, visiting Ireland and talking with other victims. When a political settlement of the Irish situation was reached in the late 1990s and Magee was released, she arranged to meet him in order to hear from him about his motivations and feelings. This book is an applied linguistic study of their talk together and of the role played by metaphor as they work towards shared understandings of the bombing and its human consequences. Using data provided by Jo Berry, and with the agreement of both participants, it presents a study of metaphor in use in a unique situation with important implications for participants and mediators in other post-conflict conciliation contexts. The focus on metaphor offers a fascinating approach to the dynamics of discourse and understanding another person.

Using the instruments of economic investigation, but also explicitly relating the analysis to the approaches to multilingualism at work developed in the language sciences, this interdisciplinary book proposes a systematic, step-by-step exploration of the issue. Starting from a general identification of the linkages between multilingualism and processes of value creation, it reviews the contributions of linguistics and economics before developing a new economic model of production in which language is taken into account. Testing of the model using data from two countries provides quantitative estimations of the influence of multilingualism on economic processes, showing that foreign language skills can make a considerable contribution to a country’s GDP. These findings have significant implications for language policy and suggest strategies helping language planners to harness market forces for increased effectiveness.

The Other's War Birkbeck Law Press
Tarik Kochi, Queens University Belfast, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £28.99 $55.95; 234x156 mm; 280pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57143-2; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Other's War is an intervention into a set of contemporary moral, political and legal debates over the legitimacy of war and terrorism within the context of the so-called global war on terror. Tarik Kochi considers how, despite the variety of its approaches – just war theory, classical realist, post-Kantian, poststructuralist - contemporary ethical, political and legal philosophy still struggles to produce a convincing account of war. Focusing on the philosophical problem of the rightness of war, The Other's War responds to this lack. Through a discussion of a number of key Western intellectual traditions, Kochi demonstrates how often conflicting and contradictory conceptions of war’s rightness have developed in modernity. He shows how a process of ordering violence around different notions of right has constantly redrawn the boundaries of what constitutes ‘legitimate’ violence. Such a process has consequences for anyone who claims to be fighting a ‘just war’. Building upon this account and drawing upon the philosophical heritage of G.W.F. Hegel and Ernst Bloch, The Other’s War proposes a new understanding of war, not just as a social condition characterised by violent conflict and struggles for power, but as the attempt of individuals and groups to realise their normative claims through violence. Kochi argues that both of these aspects of war are an expression of the metaphysics of human subjectivity. War begins with, and is the radical exaggeration of, a fundamental activity of human subjectivity, in which the subject constitutes its normative and material identity; realising and positing itself through acts that involve negation and violence. By drawing consideration of the problem of war back to the level of a philosophical examination of the metaphysics of human subjectivity, The Other's War develops a novel theory of war that helps us to better understand the nature of contemporary conflict as a process of recognition. From this perspective, judgment, it is concluded, needs to be constantly guided by the effort to recognise the ethics of the other's war. CONTENTS Introduction 1. A Critique of Just War 2. The Juridical Ordering of War 3. The Challenge of Morality 4. The Ethics of Recognition 5. A Politics of Violence 6. Developing a Theory of War 7. Judging War and Terror

Taking up a variety of narratives from the eras of Romanticism, Realism, Modernism and the Contemporary period, and including new theories to explain the interactions that occur between legalistic courtroom justice and the vigilante variety, Revenge versus Legality analyzes some of the main obstacles to justice, ranging from judicial corruption, to racism and imperialism. The book culminates in a consideration of that form of crime or lawlessness that poses the most serious threat to the rule of law: vigilante justice masquerading as legality. With its mixture of politics, literature, law, and film, this lively and accessible book offers a timely reflection on the enduring phenomenon of revenge. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Mental Health and Crime Contemporary Issues in Public Policy

Does crime cause mental disorder? And if either of these could be proved to be true what consequences should stem for those who find themselves deemed mentally disordered offenders? Mental Health and Crime examines the nature of the relationship between mental disorder and crime, and concludes that the broad definition of what is an all too common human condition – mental disorder – and the widespread occurrence of an equally all too common human behaviour – that of offending – would make unlikely any definitive or easy answer to these questions. For those who offend in the context of mental disorder many aspects of the criminal justice process and of the disposals that follow are adapted to take account of a relationship between mental disorder and crime. But if the very relationship is questionable, is the way in which we deal with such offenders discriminatory? Or is it perhaps to their benefit to be thought of as less responsible for their offending than fully culpable offenders? The book thus explores not only the nature of the relationship, but also the human rights and legal issues arising, and some of the permutations in the therapeutic process that can ensue when those with mental health problems are treated in the context of their offending behaviour.

International Development Critical Approaches to Law

Asking not how law may effect development but rather how development discourse sustains (international) law itself, this book argues that what is at stake in the idea of ‘development’ is the legitimization of an increasingly forceful homogenization of the political, economic and social spheres. Developmentalism, it is further argued, provides normative ‘objectivity’ to the foundational assumptions of international law (including human rights, trade and international financial law). And, as law thus becomes both a normative and an instrumental discourse, what it overlooks is the violence of developmentalism’s transformational project. CONTENTS 1.

174 Introducing one of the central topics and concerns of jurisprudence – the authorisation and authority of law - Jurisdiction aims to reintroduce and refresh jurisdictional thinking about law by addressing the ways that questions of jurisdiction still give shape to law and to legal thought. Questions of jurisdiction have been central to Western legal traditions, yet in contemporary accounts of law this is often hard to recognise. At its broadest, the question of jurisdiction engages with the fact that there is law, and with the power and authority to speak in the name of the law. Such questions encompass the authorisation and ordering of law as such, as well as determinations of authority and the administration of justice within a legal regime. Without an account of jurisdiction, this book argues, it would not be possible to articulate a position from which to speak, or speak about, the law. Jurisdiction thus examines the conceptual and institutional formation of contemporary jurisdictional techniques and procedures, and explore the ways in which the jurisdictional idiom of law remains central to a critical practice and understanding of law. Providing an original, and historically grounded, elaboration of the key themes of jurisdiction, this book offers students and scholars of law a way of thinking about the contemporary world as much in terms of law's technologies, techniques and procedures as with its ideas.

Crime Scenes Discourses of Law
Rebecca Scott Bray, University of Sydney, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00 £21.99 $41.95; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48390-2; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48391-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Focusing upon the representations that take place in law, forensic medicine, criminology and culture, Crime Scenes examines the ways in which knowledge about crime, death and the dead body is produced. Forensic and medico-legal practices are charged with ‘handling’ the dead (who cannot speak for themselves) and do so primarily by making injurious events visible so that the law might pass judgment. The image is thus a key site for interpreting and reconstructing the past in legal discourse. Arguing that the images (photographic images, autopsy pictures, legal testimonies) and the narratives generated through their production are the prisms through which crime and death are seen and comprehended within law, Crime Scenes explores the tension exhibited by images, as both evidential and imaginative products. Key forensic and legal spaces – such as the crime scene, the mortuary and the courtroom – as well as key methods of representing crime and death – police photography, mortuary photography and the autopsy, and legal testimony - are considered in relation to the non-legal use of historical forensic photographs, the broader cultural fascination with such images, and the canon of mortuary art quarried from medico-legal domains. The formal ‘forensic’ image, it is argued, is a site of conjecture. And its various aspects are elucidated here through an examination of the creation and the exhibition of forensic images, and the trouble that emerges when discursive boundaries - such as those between law and art - begin to haemorrhage.

Though a relatively "new" field, Indigenous jurisprudence is the product of the oldest continuous legal system in the world. Utilising a range of texts – films, novels, poetry, as well as "law stories" CF Black blends legality and narrative in order to redefine jurisprudentia in Indigenous terms. This re-definition gives shape to the jurisprudential framework of the book: a shape that is not just abstract, but physical and metaphysical; a shape that is circular and concentric at the same time. The outer circle is the cosmology, so that the human never forgets that they are inside a universe - a universe that has a law. This law is found in the second circle which, whilst resembling the ancient Greek law of physis is a law based on relationship. This is a relationship that orders the placing of the individual in the innermost circle, and which structures their rights and responsibilities into the Land. The jurisprudential texts which inform the theoretical framework of this book bring to our attention the urgent message that the Djang (primordial energy) is out of balance, and that the rebalancing of that Djang is up to

Thus, The Land is the Source of the Law concludes not only with a diagnosis of the cause of climate change, but a prescription which offers an alternative legal approach to global health. C.F. Black is an Aboriginal woman who has studied, taught and written about both Western and Indigenous jurisprudential traditions.

Novel Judgements Discourses of Law

MacNeil, Griffith University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00 £21.99 $41.95; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45914-3; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45915-0; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Novel Judgments addresses the ways in which jurisprudential ideas and themes are embedded and explored within nineteenth century Anglo-American prose fiction. The nineteenth century is the crucible of the "juridical imaginary": that is, of the jurisprudential ideas and concepts which inform the law to this day. The novel not only participates actively in the construction of this juridical imaginary, devising memorable tropes and figures of law and its theory, it goes even further: providing a critique of that construction which points the reader towards a new juridical imaginary, one which may re-imagine, for example, the "command of the sovereign" ( Pride and Prejudice ), the ethics of law ( Ivanhoe ), or the "rights of (wo)man" ( Frankenstein ). As dramatisations of the principal issues and movements of nineteenth century legal theory, these novels may therefore be read jurisprudentially. For, as William MacNeil demonstrates, they make novel judgments about legal theory - judgments which not only finds it wanting, but which also carry with them a potential for transforming a juridical imaginary that is still with us.

176 Identifying crucial deficiencies in the legal theories of Hart and Dworkin, The Rule of Reason in European Constitutionalism and Citizenship draws on the work of Habermas and Alexy in order to elaborate a new juridical conception of citizenship. Taking Europe as its focus, the central substantive argument of the book is that a 'rule of reason' governs supranational constitutionalism. Addressing the free movement law of the internal market, and recently developed case law on the free movement of citizens, it shows how the contours of European and member state legal systems, as well as European and national citizenship, are delimited through an ongoing judicial discourse. The constant drawing and re-drawing of the boundaries of member state and European law is negotiated in a judicial conversation that, it is argued, constitutes a key characteristic of supranational constitutionalism: one that supports a thin, juridical, and essentially rights based, conceptualisation of European citizenship. Offering an innovative theoretical analysis of EU law, The Rule of Reason in European Constitutionalism and Citizenship will be of considerable interest to scholars of European law, European politics and legal theory.
Sex, Culpability and the Defence of Provocation Discourses of Law
Danielle Tyson, Monash University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56017-7; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Dealing with the complex case law concerning the use of the provocation defence in cases of intimate killings, Sex, Culpability and the Defence of Provocation considers the construction and representation of subjectivity and sexual difference in legal narrations of homicide. Undeniably, the most vexing exculpatory cultural narrative of our times is that of a woman 'asking for it'. Addressing the operation of the criminal law on provocation across different international jurisdictions, this book explores how the process of judgment in a criminal trial involves not only the drawing of inferences from the ‘facts’ of a particular case, but also operates to deliver a narrative. Law, it is argued, constructs a narrative of how the female body incites male violence. And, pursuing an approach that is informed by socio-legal studies, literary theory and feminist theories of the body, Sex, Culpability and the Defence of Provocation considers how this narrative is constructed via a range of discursive practices that position woman as a threat to masculine norms of propriety and autonomy.

Three articles address family law. One addresses the painful issue of the plight of the wife whose husband withholds conjugal relations. In a marriage where relations are withheld, the wife may seek a divorce, while her husband may withhold divorce. Prolonged withholding of divorce renders the wife an agunah , that is, a wife chained to a dead marriage and unable to start anew and rebuild her life. The author explores the halakhic feasibility of allowing a wife in such a predicament to bring a claim for damages against her husband for infliction of mental distress. If such claims are allowed, recalcitrant husbands may rethink their intransigence and consent to grant the divorce. Another article examines the evolution of halakhic thinking on the parent–child relationship. It traces the stages by which halakhic family law changed from a basically patriarchal system in which both mother and the child were deemed subject to the father’s will, to a more balanced system where wife and husband have equal standing with respect to custody matters, and the best interest of the child is the main consideration in custody proceedings. In another article, halakhic attitudes to corporal punishment of children are analyzed. The author explores whether the "Spare the rod and spoil the child" adage, which is based on a verse from Proverbs, indeed reflects the position of Jewish law. He shows that in fact, while recourse to corporal punishment for educational purposes is permitted--subject to detailed qualifications that greatly limit its scope--two divergent approaches to corporal punishment can be discerned in the halakhic sources. One maintains that administration of corporal punishment can be a useful pedagogic tool of last resort, whereas the other seeks to minimize recourse to corporal punishment in the educational context, questioning its efficacy. The article shows that in any event, the notion that corporal punishment is required by the law, as some, invoking the "spare the rod" maxim, have maintained, is by no means borne out by the halakhic literature. The volume also features a fascinating article on the history of two societies founded in London to further the study of Jewish law using modern scholarly methodologies. One society was active at the end of the 1920s and beginning of the 1930s, the second was active a decade later. The article explains the background to the establishment of the societies and analyzes the societies’ objectives, leaders and memberships. Both societies were founded with the intention of reformulating the classic halakhic sources in a manner that would render them suitable for contemporary application in the nascent Jewish state. But as the author shows, ultimately much of their energy was devoted to presenting the said sources to the non-Jewish legal world, for the purpose of reciprocal enrichment and edification. Rounding out the volume are two jurisprudential studies on classic legal problems. The first explores the prohibition against seeking a second legal ruling when a ruling declaring something forbidden has been handed down. What is the scope of this rule, and in what ways does it differ from the res judicata principle in western law? The author shows that both procedural and substantive readings of the prohibition were put forward in the
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
177 talmudic commentaries, and explains the jurisprudential implications of these different readings. The second article examines the question of the agent who breaches his principal’s trust, focusing on the case of the agent who executes the act he was sent to carry out, but does so for himself, rather than his principal. To what extent is he liable for ensuing damages to the principal, and is his act invariably deemed reprehensible? Another issue is the legal status of the transaction carried out by such an agent. Do the rights and obligations generated by the transaction accrue to the agent, or to the principal? And how are determinations as to the status of the transaction to be made? Is the testimony of an unfaithful agent, or one who has deviated from his mandate, deemed trustworthy? Is any role played by third parties, such as vendors, in determining the status of the transaction? CONTENTS 1.

Governance Through Development Law, Development and Globalization
Celine Tan, University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49554-7; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Governance Through Development locates the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper framework within the broader context of international law and global governance; exploring its impact on third world state engagement with the global political economy and the international regulatory norms and institutions which support it. The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) framework has replaced the controversial Structural Adjustment Programme, as the primary mechanism through which official development financing is channelled to low-income developing countries. It has, however, changed the regulatory landscape of international development financing, signalling a wider paradigmatic shift in the cartography of aid and consequently in the nature of north-south relations. Governance Through Development documents and analyses this change which, within a legacy of postcolonial economic relations, revealing the wider economic and geo-political significance of the PRSP framework. This framework, Celine Tan argues, establishes a new regulatory regime that builds upon the disciplinary project of structural adjustment by embedding neoliberal economic conditionalities within a regime of domestic governance and public policy reform.
Lawyers and the Construction of Transnational Justice Law, Development and Globalization
Edited by Yves Dezalay and Bryant Garth, Southwestern Law School, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58118-9; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Lawyers and the Construction of Transnational Justice examines the people, the conflicts, and the mechanisms involved in producing transnational norms and institutions. Ordinarily, a clear division is made between business law and public interest law or cause lawyering; but this volume explore the relationships and similarities between transnational developments in both spheres. Connecting the human rights side of justice with the norms used to regulate market and business, its contributors pursue detailed empirical research that focuses on the complexities, ambiguities and contradictions in the processes, as well as the outcomes, of constructing transnational justice. Addressing a range of international issues, Lawyers and the Construction of Transnational Justice is a major contribution to the field of sociology of law, as well as to debates about global governance.

Social Movements, Law and the Politics of Land Reform Law, Development and Globalization
George Meszaros, University of Warwick, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $122.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47771-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Social Movements, Law and the Politics of Land Reform investigates how state and rural social movements are struggling for land reform against the background of a re-emergence of constitutional promises and projects in much of the developing world. By the early 1990s, as state driven was eschewed in favour of neo-liberal market principles, the historic centrality of rural conflicts was called into question. And accelerated urbanisation - most notably in China, India and Latin America - appeared to spell the death of the peasantry itself. Nevertheless, significant struggles continue: in China, largely in response to land grabs by powerful coalitions of speculators and party officials; in India, as low caste tenant farmers and landless indigenous people continue to demand land redistribution; in South Africa, and elsewhere. This book focuses on the relationship between these struggles and the state. Taking Brazil as an example, Social Movements, Law and the Politics of Land Reform outlines the complex reasons behind the failures of its constitution and law enforcement mechanisms to deliver social justice. Whilst developments there have distinctive origins, they nevertheless provide important lessons and insights for other countries. In particular, it is argued that Brazil’s failures - as elsewhere are based not simply on the severe and widespread overestimation of the promise of law - its power and autonomy - but, more significantly, upon a corresponding underestimation of law’s relations of power. Using detailed empirical evidence the book develops a threefold argument: first, the inescapable presence of power relations in all aspects of the production and reproduction of law; secondly their dominant impact on socio-legal outcomes; and finally, given the significance of power relations, the essential role played by social movements as a force in the realisation of law’s progressive potential.

Law, Complexity and Globalisation Law, Science and Society
Julian Webb, University of Warwick, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 300pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-84472-033-0; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Complexity theory has its earliest origins in studies of self-organization within genetic and other biological systems, and in parallel developments elsewhere in the natural sciences. More recently still, complexity theory has begun to impact thinking in the social sciences and social theory. Philisophically, there are still strong links with both (post-) structuralist and phenomenological traditions, while in terms of social theory, complexity theory has tended to be treated as a species of systems theory, and hence linked to the normative-functionalist projects of Durkheim and Parsons. However, more recent work on the social science of complexity has stressed how complexity theory can transcend the status inherent in classical functionalist thinking about the social order, by stressing the fluid, heterogeneous, unpredictable and increasingly global ordering of the social world.

Transcending the prevailing one-sided and purely historical focus on Schmitt’s significance for debates that took place in the Weimar Republic 1919-1933, this book addresses the actual and potential significance of Schmitt's thought for debates within contemporary Anglo-American legal theory that have emerged during the past three decades. These include: the critique of legal positivism; the ‘indeterminacy thesis’ of American Critical Legal Studies; the reinterpretation of law as a form of strategically disguised politics by the contemporary sociology of law movement; the emphasis upon law as implicated in, and as aspect of, a network of mobile yet dispersed power relationships irreducible to a central state; the legal theoretical critique of human rights and liberalism more generally; Schmitt’s critique of innovations within international criminal law: the inhumanity and hypocrisy of supposedly universalistic ‘crimes against humanity’; and the retrospective criminalisation of ‘aggressive war’ as part of the Nuremberg trials process. In these respects, therefore, Michael Salter provides an overview and assessment of Schmitt's thought, as well as a consideration of its relevance for contemporary legal thought. CONTENTS Introduction: Schmitt as a legal thinker 1. The hidden assumptions and commitments of liberal approaches to the legal process within modern liberal-democratic states 2. The concealed presuppositions and commitments of liberal approaches to public and constitutional law 3. A Schmittian analysis of the politics of declaring a state of emergency in response to terrorist / partisan violence 4. Schmitt on war, waging aggressive war and crimes against humanity 5. Criticism of the claims and implications of Schmittian legal theory Conclusion: Salvaging aspects of Schmitt through immanent critique?
Deleuze & Guattari: Emergent Law Nomikoi Critical Legal Thinkers
Jamie Murray, Liverpool John Moores University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49601-8; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Deleuze & Guattari: Emergent Law is an exposition and development of Deleuze & Guattari's legal theory. Although there has been considerable interest in Deleuze & Guattari in critical legal studies, as well as considerable interest in legality in Deleuze & Guattari studies, this is the first book to focus exclusively on Deleuze & Guattari and law. Situating Deleuze & Guattari's engagement with social organisation and legality in the context of their theory of 'abstract machines' and 'intensive assemblages', Jamie Murray presents their theory of law as that of a two-fold conception of, first, a transcendent molar law and, second, an immanent molecular emergent law. Transcendent molar legality is the traditional object of legal theory. And, as explicated here, immanent molecular emergent law is the novel juridical object that Deleuze & Guattari identify. Developing this conception, Deleuze & Guattari: Emergent Law draws out its implications for current and for future legal theory; arguing that it provides the basis for a new jurisprudence capable of creating new concepts of legality.

Thanos Zartaloudis, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-44022-6; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Giorgio Agamben: Power, Law and the Uses of Criticism is a thorough engagement with the thought of the influential Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. It explores Agamben’s work on language, ontology, power, law and criticism from the 1970s to his most recent publications. Introducing Agamben's work to a readership in legal theory, as well as in the humanities and social sciences more generally, Thanos Zartaloudis argues that an adequate understanding of Agamben's Homo Sacer project requires an attention to his earlier philosophical writings on language, ontology, power and time. It is through this attentive and creative analysis of Agamben's work that Zartaloudis here presents a rethinking of the ideas of justice and criticism. CONTENTS

Henri Lefebvre Nomikoi Critical Legal Thinkers
Chris Butler, Griffith University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45967-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION While certain aspects of Lefebvre’s writings have been examined extensively during the last three decades within the disciplines of geography, cultural studies, sociology, urban planning and social theory, there has been no comprehensive consideration of his work within legal studies. Henri Lefebvre: Critical Legal Studies and the Politics of Space provides the first detailed analysis of the relevance and importance of the social theory of Henri Lefebvre for the study of law and the administrative state. Introducing Lefebvre to a legal audience, this book begins by surveying the importance of Lefebvre’s work within the social sciences, and outlining the ways in which it can inform both critical legal theory and other areas of critical legal studies, such as the emerging field of critical legal geography. Key themes that run through Lefebvre’s oeuvre are then considered in some detail, including his unorthodox, humanist approach to Marxist theory, his sociological and methodological work on everyday life, his theory of the production of space, his contribution to state theory and his concept of the ‘right to the city’. Drawing on political struggles which surround the production of space, Lefebvre’s theoretical categories, Chris Butler argues, suggest a new way for critical legal scholarship to conceptualise law: as a central component in the relationship between state power and the inhabitance of space. The elements of Lefebvre’s work thus offer not only an important perspective on how urban governance and public administration have been transformed by fundamental shifts in the architecture of the state, but also an opportunity to examine how this transformation contains the possibility of new forms of spatial citizenship.

Merger Control in Europe Routledge Research in Competition Law
Ioannis Kokkoris, Principal Case Officer and Economic Advisor, Office of Fair Trading, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56513-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book addresses the phenomenon of mergers that may result in non-coordinated effects in oligopolistic markets. Such cases are sometimes referred to as "non-collusive oligopolies", or "gap cases" and there is a concern that they might not be covered by the substantive test that some Member States use for merger assessment. Ioannis Kokkoris examines the argument that the European Community Merger Regulation (Regulation 4064/89) did not capture gap cases and considers the extent to which the revised substantive test in Regulation 139/2004 deals with the problem of non-collusive oligopolies. The author identifies actual examples of mergers that gave rise to a problem of non-coordinated effects in oligopolistic markets, both in the EU and in other jurisdictions, and analyses the way in which these cases were dealt with in practice. The book considers legal systems such as United Kingdom, United States, Australia and New Zealand. The book investigates whether there is any difference in the assessment of non-collusive oligopolies between the various substantive tests which have been adopted for merger assessment in various jurisdictions. The book also looks at the various methodological tools available to assist competition authorities and the professional advisers of merging firms to identify whether a particular merger might give rise to anticompetitive effects and explores the type of market structure in which a merger is likely to lead to non-coordinated effects in oligopolistic markets.

Questions will be asked as to what extent these countries have had to follow dictation from the EU and whether this implementation of EC merger control rules has been justified from the point of view of these countries' economic situations. The book will analyse the merger control regimes in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Slovenia and Slovakia. However, reference will be made to other small market economies of the EU including Cyprus, Ireland, Luxembourg and Malta in order to evaluate the particular difficulties the former socialist countries with small market economies have had in the implementation and further development of merger control rules.

The Political Determinants of Corporate Governance in China Routledge Research in Corporate Law
Chenxia Shi, Monash University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $110.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57401-3; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Corporate governance is currently an issue of both theoretical and practical significance in China, as it affects the development of China’s securities market and market players as well as China’s participation in the economic globalization and the world’s legal order. In recent years China has taken initiatives to follow international trends to develop its corporate governance regime. This book investigates the key factors shaping corporate governance in China and examine whether the path dependency stands in the way of substantial convergence with international models. The core question underlying this investigation is: will globalisation of markets and China’s integration into the world economy lead to the convergence of its corporate governance with international models or will path dependency shaped by its political traditions dictate a unique China path? The book also looks at whether transplanted rules on directors’ duties are effective in enhancing accountability of directors of Chinese companies. To answer these questions, both historical and comparative methods are used to examine and explain exogenous and endogenous factors shaping the path of corporate governance in China. The book examines the underlying factors shaping business regulation and corporate governance in China, including political imperatives, the traditional commercial culture, corporate legislative developments, and the evolution of corporate governance systems within China’s political economy contexts. It explains why the political economy theory and path dependence theory have a better fit than most other theories in explaining the development path of Chinese corporate governance. In doing so, it challenges the relevance of convergence explanations for legal transplantation that have been developed in European and North American contexts.
Rethinking Corporate Governance Routledge Research in Corporate Law
Alessio Pacces, Erasmus University, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 432pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56519-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book takes a comparative law and economics approach to the study of corporate governance. It looks at the overall impact of corporate law on separation of ownership and control across different jurisdictions, taking into account the contributions of economic theory, empirical research, and comparative corporate law to the analysis of corporate governance. This book reappraises the existing framework for economic analysis of corporate law. The standard approach to the legal foundations of corporate governance is based on the ‘law matters’ thesis, according to which corporate law promotes the separation of ownership and control by protecting minority shareholders from expropriation. Rethinking Corporate Governance takes a broader perspective on the economic and legal determinants of corporate governance. It shows that investor protection is a necessary, but not sufficient, legal condition for efficient separation of ownership and control. Supporting control powers vested in managers or controlling shareholders is at least as important as protecting investors from their abuse. Corporate law does not only matter in the last respect; it matters in both.

Criminal Law and Policy in the European Union Routledge Research in European Union Law

However, the European Court of Justice has consistently applied tests of necessity and effectiveness to develop the Community’s catalogue of legislative competences and the interpretation of Community law, culminating in decisions which accord to the Community a limited criminal competence where this is deemed necessary for the effectiveness of other policy aims. This book takes stock of the development of criminal law in the context of the European Community and the European Union, and examines whether this has led to a European criminal policy, and interrogates the legal effects that European-level initiatives in the field have on national criminal law and on suspects. The work reflects on the interaction between the law of the European Community and national criminal law since the signing of the Treaty of Rome and proceed to consider the prospects of criminal law enacted at the European level against this framework of historical development. The book will review the supremacy of Community law over conflicting national criminal law, the past legislative practice of harmonised ‘administrative’ penalties and their impact on national legal systems, the ramifications of the Greek Maize decision, the development of relevant Community principles of fundamental rights, and the 2005 decisions on implied criminal competence and sympathetic interpretation. In the light of these developments and the forthcoming October 2007 judgment of the Court of Justice in the ShipSource Pollution case, the work will explore whether there are fields in which the Community might enact directly applicable criminal penalties in the form of EC regulations. It will also examine related doctrinal concerns considered by the Court of Justice in its earlier case law on the interface between EC law and national criminal law. CONTENTS 1.

This book examines the development and the role of human rights in the European Union, from its inception as an economic co-operation project to an organisation of European States with a political agenda that goes beyond its borders. It argues that human rights have become an important component of the foreign policy of the European Union and that this role has grown from the inception of the Union through the Cold War and thereafter onto the process of enlargement of the Union. The book goes on to analyse the EU’s policy on minorities, as a particular example of human rights. It considers the level of their protection within the EU and the framework of international law, and compares minority rights in the older Member States including France, Germany and the UK, with newer Eastern European states.

Turkey’s Accession to the European Union Routledge Research in European Union Law
Edel Hughes, University of Limerick, Ireland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57785-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Turkey’s accession to the European Union is undoubtedly one of the Union’s most contested potential enlargements. The narrative that dominates the debate surrounding this issue primarily relates to problems such as a lack of respect for fundamental human rights in Turkey, the Kurdish question and the continuing stalemate concerning northern Cyprus. This book looks at these issues, but also proposes that a review of Turkey’s experience with the EU in its numerous incarnations suggests that these concerns may mask a deeper disquiet. Whilst there are several questions that Turkey must address, particularly in the area of human rights guarantees, the concerns which raise debates regarding Turkish membership are not issues that are unique to Turkey. Turkey’s EU experience also raises fundamental questions about religion and the EU project that have greater implication than simply Turkish accession. Through the lens of the Turkish example, this book addresses these broader questions, such as the nature of European ‘identity’, Europe’s Christian past, the limits of pluralism and the fundamental question of religion in the European public sphere.

184 merely provide an update, but anchors these developments into the broader EU law context, challenging past paradigms and anticipating possible developments. The author provides a systematic analysis of the interactions between the content of prudential rules and the mechanisms behind their production and application European Prudential Banking Regulation and Supervision includes discussions of the European banking market structure and of regulatory theory that both aim to circumscribe prudential concerns. It scrutinises the content of prudential norms, proposes a qualification of these norms and an assessment of their interaction with other types of norms (corporate, auditing and accounting, consumer protection, competition rules). It also features an analysis of the underpinning institutional set-up and its envisaged reforms, focusing on the typical EU concerns related to checks and balances. Finally, the book attempts to revive the debate on supervisory liability, in light of the developments discussed. This book will be of great value to all those interested in financial stability matters (practitioners, policy-makers, students, academics), as well as to EU law scholars.

Islamic finance differs quite substantially from conventional banking, using very different mechanisms, and operating according to a different theory as it is based on Islamic Sharia law, but at the same time it is always subject to the law of the particular financial market in which it operates. This book takes a much-needed and comprehensive look at the legal and regulatory aspects which affect Islamic finance law, and examines the current UK and international banking regulatory frameworks which impact on this sector. The book examines the historical genesis of Islamic banking, looking at how it has developed in Muslim countries before going on to consider the development of Islamic banking in the UK and the legal position of Islamic banks within English law. The book explores company, contract, and tax law and traces the impact it has had on the development of Islamic banking in the UK, before going on to argue that the current legal and regulatory framework which affects the Islamic banking sector has often had a negative impact on Islamic banking in the UK.

The book focuses on issues and rights that were not originally included in the Universal Declaration but have become emerging areas of human rights including the right to environmental protection, humanitarian aid and human rights, and the right to democratic governance. The contributors to the volume consider these developing rights in the light of contemporary national and international law, but also consider the wider picture and the contexts in which human rights may have effect. The book maps out areas of emerging rights, taking into consideration the aims and purposes of the Universal Declaration adopted in 1948 and considers the evolution of the human rights regimes and law.

186 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The European Court of Human Rights has been a vital part of European democratic consolidation and integration for over half a century, setting meaningful standards and offering legal remedies to the individually repressed, the politically vulnerable, and the socially excluded. After their emancipation from Soviet influence in the 1990s, and with membership of the European Union in mind for many, the new democracies of central and eastern Europe flocked to the Convention system. However, now the ‘gold rush’ is over, the Court’s position in the ‘New Europe’ is under threat. Its ability to decide cases promptly is almost fatally compromised, and the reform of its institutional architecture is effectively blocked by Russia. The time is right to take stock, to benefit from hindsight, and to consider how the Court can respond to the situation. This book examines the case law of the European Court of Human Rights with particular reference to democratic transitions in Europe and the consequent enlargement of the European Convention system. Focusing firmly on the substantive jurisprudence of the Court, the book analyses how it has responded to the difficult and distinct circumstances presented by the new Contracting Parties. Faced with different stages of, and commitments to, democratic transition, how has the Court reacted to such diversity whilst maintaining the universality of human rights – and how is this reflected in its judgments? The book tackles this question by matching rigorous doctrinal analysis of the case law with new developments in critical thinking. The cases are viewed through the prism of jurisprudence and political philosophy, with links made to European political integration and other international human rights systems. The book offers an original explanation of the Court’s predicament by drawing upon ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ notions of morality and tying this to notions of essential contestability. James A. Sweeney is a Lecturer at Durham University. CONTENTS 1. Introduction Part 1: Concepts - Delimiting the problem: democratic transition and enlargement 2.

International bodies such as the WHO, UNAIDS, World Bank and WTO are increasingly using or being evaluated with reference to health rights, and international NGOs frequently use the language of rights in campaigning and in more concrete litigation. This book brings together an impressive array of internationally renowned scholars in the areas of law, philosophy and health policy to critically interrogate the development of rights based approaches to health. The volume integrates discussion of the right to health at a theoretical level in law and ethics, with the difficult substantive issues where the right is relevant, and with emerging systems of global health governance. The contributions to this volume will add to our theoretical and practical understanding of rights based approaches to health. CONTENTS 1. Introduction, John Harrington and Maria Stuttaford 2.

187 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The human right to water under international human rights law is an area of much topical discussion with the appointment of the new UN Independent Expert on the issue of human rights obligations related to access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and movement within the NGO community for an international water treaty. This book provides an overview and examination of the human right to water as determined under international human rights law, including establishing its current legal status and substantive content and dealing with general questions and issues related to economic, social and cultural rights which affect the right to water. The book goes on to look more specifically at the application of the human right to water in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. As well as exploring the human right to water under international human rights law the book also analyses the international humanitarian law pertaining to occupation and domestic and bilateral provisions for the right to water within the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The book then considers the wider implications of the case study findings looking at what can be done to strengthen the right legally in terms of its status and codification and what remedy can be found for violations of the right, both specifically in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and in a more general context. The proposed book would be of interest not only to students, academics and practitioners within the field of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, but also to those concerned with the politics, international relations, and conflict resolution, especially in the Middle East region and Israel / Palestine.

Analysing legal structures in a variety of both Western and Non-Western jurisdictions, the book sets out a topography of the different constitutional structures of religion within the state and their compliance with international human rights law. The book also considers the position of women's religious freedom vis a vis community claims of religious freedom. Taking a rigorous approach to the right, Anat Scolnicov argues that the interpretation and application of religious freedom must be understood as a conflict between individual and group claims of rights, and argues for an individualistic interpretation of this right.

The Current State of Domain Name Regulation Routledge Research in Information Technology and E-Commerce Law
Konstantinos Komaitis, University of Strathclyde, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47776-5; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this book Konstantinos Komaitis identifies a tripartite problem – intellectual, institutional and ethical – inherent in the domain name regulation culture. Using the theory of property, Komaitis discusses domain names as sui generis, ‘e-property’ rights and analyzes the experience over the past ten years, through the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). The institutional deficit he identifies, generates a further discussion on the ethical dimensions in the regulation of domain names and prompts Komaitis to suggest the creation of an environment based on justice. The relationship between trademarks and domain names has always been contentious and the existing institutions of the UDRP and ACPA have not assisted in alleviating the tension between the two identifiers. Over the past ten years, the trademark community has been systematic in encouraging and promoting a culture that indiscriminately considers domain names as second-class citizens, suggesting that trademark rights should have priority over the registration in the Domain Name Space (DNS). Komaitis disputes this assertion and seeks to bring to light the injustices and the trademark-oriented nature of the UDRP and ACPA. He further queries what the appropriate legal source to protect registrants when not seeking to promote trademark interests is. He also seeks to delineate a legal hypothesis on their nature as well as the steps of their institutionalisation process that we need to reverse, seeking to create a just framework for the regulation of domain names. Finally he explores how the current policies contribute to the philosophy of domain

Online Dispute Resolution for Consumers in the European Union Routledge Research in Information Technology and E-Commerce Law
Pablo Cortés, University of Leicester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56207-2; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION E-commerce offers immense challenges to traditional dispute resolution methods, as it entails parties often located in different parts of the world making contracts with each other at the click of a mouse. The use of traditional litigation for disputes arising in this forum is often inconvenient, impractical, time-consuming and expensive due to the low value of the transactions and the physical distance between the parties. Thus modern legal systems face a crucial choice: either to adopt traditional dispute resolution methods that have served the legal systems well for hundreds of years or to find new methods which are better suited to a world not anchored in territorial borders. Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), originally an off-shoot of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), takes advantage of the speed and convenience of the Internet, becoming the best, and often the only option for enhancing consumer redress and strengthening their trust in e-commerce. This book provides an in-depth account of the potential of ODR for European consumers, offering a comprehensive and up to date analysis of the development of ODR. It considers the current expansion of ODR and evaluates the challenges posed in its growth. The book proposes the creation of legal standards to close the gap between the potential of ODR services and their actual use, arguing that ODR, if it is to realise its full potential in the resolution of e-commerce disputes and in the enforcement of consumer rights, must be grounded firmly on a European regulatory model.

Drawing together a number of case studies of developing countries rich in biological and genetic resources including India, South Africa and Brazil the book examines the access to plant genetic resources and their utilisations in the contexts of scientific and commercial oriented activities pursued both in the source and user countries. Exploring how community rights are protected in national biodiversity related regulations and some international legal instruments, Marcelin Tonye Mahop also discusses the relationship between community rights and human rights in the context of biodiversity. The book looks at the issue of biopiracy asking whether this should be explored from a North-South perspective, before going on to suggest alternative measures for the legal protection of community rights at the national level with the possibility of national and international enforceability.

Niva Elkin-Koren and Eli Salzberger, both of University of Haifa, Israel PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $123.75; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49908-8; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the economic analysis of intellectual property law, with a special emphasis on the Law and Economics of informational goods in light of the past decade’s technological revolution. In recent years there has been massive growth in the Law and Economics literature focusing on intellectual property, on both normative and positive levels of analysis. The rise of Law and Economics as a dominant methodology in intellectual property scholarship has been accompanied by an increased economic discourse in intellectual property policy debates. The economic approach to intellectual property is often described as a monolithic, coherent approach that may differ only as it is applied to a particular case. Yet the growing literature of Law and Economics in intellectual property does not speak in one voice. The economic discourse used in legal scholarship and in policy-making encompasses several strands, each reflecting a fundamentally different approach to the economics of informational works, and each grounded in a different ideology or methodological paradigm. This book delineates the different economic approaches and analyzes their tenets. It maps the fundamental concepts and the theoretical foundation of current economic analysis of intellectual property law, in order to fully understand the ramifications of using economic analysis of law in policy making and to appreciate the current frameworks’ limitations in confronting the challenges of the information revolution. The book addresses the fundamental adjustments in the methodology and underlying assumptions that must be employed in order for the economic approach to remain a useful analytic framework for addressing IPR in the information age.

International Commercial Arbitration and the Arbitrator’s Contract Routledge Research in International Commercial Law
Emilia Onyema, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 280pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49278-2; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the formation, nature and effect of the arbitrators’ contract, addressing topics such as the appointment, challenge, removal and duties and rights of arbitrators, disputing parties and arbitration institutions. The arguments made in the book are based on a semi-autonomous theory of the juridical nature of international arbitration and a contractual theory of the legal nature of these relationships. From these premises, the book analyses the formation of the arbitrator’s contract in both ad hoc and institutional references. It also examines the institution’s contract with the disputing parties and its effect on the arbitrator’s contract under institutional references. The book draws from national arbitration laws and institutional rules in various jurisdictions to give a global view of the issues examined in it. The arbitrator’s contract is analysed from a global perspective of arbitral law and practice with insights from various jurisdictions in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The primary focus of the book is an analysis of the formation of the arbitrator’s contract and the terms of this contract and the institution’s contract. The primary question of the consequences (if any) of the breaches of the terms of these contracts and its impact on the exclusion or limitation of liability of arbitrators and institutions is also analysed with the conclusion that since these transactions are contractual and the terms can be categorised as in any normal contract, then normal contractual remedies can be applied to the breaches of these terms. International Commercial Arbitration and the Arbitrator’s Contract will be of great value to arbitration practitioners and researchers in arbitration. It will also be very useful to students of arbitration on the topics of arbitrators and arbitration institution. CONTENTS Introduction 1 . Arbitration Agreement 2.

The rapid changes in economic, social and political life have enormous impact on Asia’s ecosystems and resources. The key to the environmental future of these two regions lies in the evolution of the character of governance - the ensemble of social ethics, public policies and institutions which structure how governments and the civil society interact with the environment. This book looks at environmental governance in both Asia and Europe and offers a comparative analysis of the two regions in order to provide a better understanding of the concept of ‘environmental governance’ and its status in Europe and Asia. The book assesses the legislative, institutional and participatory mechanisms which affect the overall development of environmental governance, and analyses current issues, concerns and strategies in respect of environmental governance at the local, national, and international levels. This book will be valuable to scholars and students of environmental politics, EU and Asian studies, public policy, environmental law, and to decision makers and policy analysts. CONTENTS 1.

Coral reefs are economically important to coastal communities living in predominantly developing countries, and also provide shoreline protection, catalyse land formation enabling human habitation, act as a carbon sink and are a repository for genetic and species diversity rivalling tropical rainforests. In the face of mounting man-made pressure, these ecosystems increasingly need action to be taken to ensure their conservation and long term sustainable development. This book breaks new ground by providing the first indepth account of the ways in which multilateral environmental treaty regimes are seeking to encourage and improve the conservation of warm-water coral reef ecosystems. In so doing, the work aims to raise the profile of such activities in order to reinforce their status on the environmental agenda. The book also has wider implications for the international environmental law project, arguing that sectorial legal action, provided it remains co-ordinated through a global forum which recognises and reflects the inter-connections between all elements of the natural environment, is the most practically effective way for international law to enhance conservation of habitats.

International Law in a Multipolar World Routledge Research in International Law
Edited by Matthew Happold, University of Hull, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56521-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, international law has sought to configure itself as a universal system. And yet, despite the best efforts of international institutions, scholars and others to assert the universal application of international law, its relevance and applicability has been influenced, if not directed, by political power. Over the past decade, discourse has tended to focus on the implications for international law of a unipolar world, characterised by US hegemony. However, that the international system may now be experiencing a tendency towards multipolarity, with various sites of power able to exert a telling influence on international relations and international law. Recent events such as Russia’s excursion into Georgia, the breakdown of the Doha round of trade negotiations, the USA’s questionable actions in the war on terror, the prominence of emerging nuclear powers, China’s assertions of its own interests on a global scale, and the rise of regional trading blocs, all pose significant questions for international law and the international legal order. International Law in a Multipolar World features contributions from a range of contributors including Nigel White, Michael Schmitt, Richard Burchill, Alexander Orakhelashvili and Christian Pippan, addressing some of the questions that multipolarity poses for the international legal system. The contributions to the volume explore issues including the use of force, governance , sovereign equality, regionalism and the relevance of the United Nations in a multipolar world, considering the overarching theme of the relationship between power and law.
International Organisations and the Idea of Autonomy Routledge Research in International Law
Edited by Nigel D. White and Richard Collins, both of University of Sheffield, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 384pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55088-8; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The volumes contains contributions from leading scholars in the field of international law, including Jan Wouters, Nigel D. White, Jan Klabbers, Mary Footer and Nico Krisch, who consider the idea of institutional autonomy in international law, and autonomy within international institutional law from a broad perspective. The book engages with the idea of international organisations as autonomous entities, both in terms of control and influence over their membership and as independent actors in the international system as a whole. It considers the difficulties of theorising autonomy in a decentralised legal system, where autonomy appears as both desirable and dangerous at the same time. Related to this, the chapters question how changing perceptions of international law affect ideas of autonomy in particular institutional settings, and how, in turn, particular institutional structures or experiences may affect our perceptions of, or ambitions for change within the international system as a whole.

Self-Determination in the Post-9/11 Era Routledge Research in International Law
Elizabeth Chadwick, Nottingham Trent University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55004-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The issue of self-determination is often thought about and discussed in terms of the post-1945 framework which attempted to balance a stable vision of state sovereignty and territorial integrity alongside the principle of the self-determination of ‘peoples’. This implied that perhaps self-determination should be realisable within contexts of domestic state political process, multi-culturalism, and/or democratic representation. However, in the last decades there has been a shift in geo-political balance regarding the ‘power to choose’ those ‘causes’ deemed more justifiable in terms of force used to achieve liberation goals. This book takes the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 as a timely point at which to review the impact on the theory and practice of self-determination caused by wider anti-terrorist action and a growing disregard of the laws of armed conflict. The book will set out in detail the altered attitudes to violent struggles for self-determination. It will introduce the growing international disquiet in the face of increasing religious fundamentalist violence, the changing nature of international terrorist actors, and the expansion in justifications for violent liberation struggles. The book will look at specific examples of when the international community has chosen to intervene, and those in which it has not in order to reach conclusions about the continued viability of self-determination within the larger context of non-interference, territorial integrity and political independence.

Sovereignty, Jurisdiction, and Exploitation of the Seas, Polar Regions, Airspace and Outer Space Routledge Research in International Law
Gbenga Oduntan, University of Kent, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 384pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56212-6; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Sovereignty and jurisdiction are legal doctrines of a complex nature, which have been subject to differing interpretations by scholars in legal literature. The tridimensionality of state territory recognised under customary international law subsists till the present but there are other territories that do not or cannot belong to any state or political entity which also must be accounted for in legal theory. The issues surrounding sovereignty and jurisdiction are likely to become ever more pressing as globalisation, growing pressure on resources and the need for energy and national security become acute, and the resolution of special delimitation disputes seems likely to become a vital question in the 21 st century. This book will focus primarily on the issues of sovereignty jurisdiction and control in airspace and outer space, but will also look at related issues pertaining to the Seas and Antarctica. As well as considering the matters in public international law the book will also explore aspects of private international law that are central to the understanding of sovereignty and jurisdiction over territories. Commercial exploitation, resource control and the international regime regulating contractual obligations in relation to transportation of goods and services over all forms of territory will be examined to the extent that they are necessary to explain jurisdictional rights and duties over territory. The book goes on to consider the distinction between airspace and outer space and puts forward legal criteria which would allow for the resolution of the spatial delimitation dispute. These criteria would determine where in spatial terms the exclusive sovereignty of airspace ends and where outer space - the province of all mankind begins, and contribute to the jurisprudence of territorial sovereignty and jurisdiction.

State Accountability under International Law Routledge Research in International Law

The concept of State accountability is distinguished from the doctrine of State responsibility and refers to an ad hoc practice in international relations that seeks to ensure States do not escape with impunity when they violate norms that are considered fundamental to the interests of the international community as a whole. State Accountability under International Law sets forth a definition of State accountability as the antithesis of State impunity, and establishes a threshold against which the existence, or not, of State accountability can be determined. The book draws together the many academic theories relating to accountability that have arisen in various areas of international law including environmental law, human rights and trade law before going on to examine an emerging practice of State accountability. A variety of ad hoc attempts and informal mechanisms are assessed against the threshold of State accountability established with emphasis being given to practical examples ranging from the accountability of Germany and Japan after WWII to the current attempts to prevent impunity by Sudan and Zimbabwe. The book also addresses the relationship between State accountability and the emerging practice of international humanitarian intervention to consider whether intervention could be used for the purpose of holding States accountable for a breach of jus cogens norms.

Alternative Perspectives on Lawyers and Legal Ethics Routledge Research in Legal Ethics
Edited by Reid Mortensen, Francesca Bartlett, both of University of Queensland, Australia, and Kieran Tranter, Griffith University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54652-2; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The study of legal ethics and the legal profession has emerged as a distinct and important field of scholarship over the last 30 years. However, as in other disciplines, academic recognition can in turn entrench static and powerful meta-theories and narratives about professional ethos and practise, this collection seeks to disrupt this homogenising impulse and to present alternative voices by bringing together a range of international scholars writing about legal ethics and the legal profession. The book features significant and timely contributions which take contemporary and non-mainstream perspectives on the current and future shape of the legal profession. The essays not only describe the rapidly changing profession but canvas different approaches to scholarship on the legal profession. The collection seeks to explore a diverse and contextualised profession from a number of angles. Authors examine how the public sees lawyers and how lawyers see their own profession; how we practise law and how this practice shapes lawyers; how such cultural and professional practice intersects with institutional structures of the law to create certain legal outcomes; and how we regulate the legal profession to modify or institute ethical practice. The volume provides insights into legal culture and ethics from the perspective of authors from Australia, Canada, England, the United States, New Zealand and Kenya – a diversity of national perspectives that give valuable insights into developments in the profession at the local and global level. It also illustrates diversity within the profession by tracing differing professional career trajectories based on raced or gendered barriers, alternative ethical strategies and the impact of organisational cultures in which lawyers practice.

The Ethics Project in Legal Education Routledge Research in Legal Ethics
Edited by Michael Robertson, Lillian Corbin, and Kieran Tranter, all of Griffith University, Australia and Francesca Bartlett, University of Queensland, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $123.75; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54651-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There is a growing recognition that legal professional rules or codes, the ethical basis upon which legal professionals are regulated, do not always provide guidance for many of the situations that legal practitioners and other legal actors face on a daily basis. Therefore it is important to prepare future practitioners for the eventualities which they may face in practice. However, there is no template for this goal. There is nothing that sets out how legal educators can create good ‘ethics’ learning outcomes that help students to comprehend that lawyering is much more than just applying the rules to their clients’ situations and, at a personal level, the conduct that is expected of them. Much more thought needs to be given to the question of the aims, scope and methodology of ‘legal ethics education’. This book goes some way to achieving this aim, presenting the views of a number of internationally renowned legal ethicists, including Brent Cotter and David Chavkin, on the topic of the teaching of legal ethics. The book discusses the meaning of ‘legal ethics’, adopting the basic premise that legal practitioners need to exercise personal responsibility and choice in carrying out their work. That because the current formal rules are inadequate true engagement with ethical issues requires them to exercise judgment. While this is now a well-accepted view among legal ethicists, this is not the traditional approach to teaching legal ethics and therefore there is a need to rethink the law curriculum. The contributions to the book offer a breadth of coverage examining legal ethics teaching in a range of jurisdictions including the USA, Canada, Australia, and South Africa and Hong Kong. A number of contributors discuss design issues that cover a broad field of methods, including simulations, the pervasive use of problem-solving exercises, and realworld experiences, with some of the essays revealing their empirical findings on the effectiveness of these methods and particularly as they affect the students.

Reaffirming Legal Ethics Routledge Research in Legal Ethics
Edited by Reid Mortensen, Francesca Bartlett, both of University of Queensland, Australia, and Michael Robertson, Lillian Corbin, and Kieran Tranter, all of Griffith University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 384pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54653-9; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION It has been over thirty years since the founding crises that birthed legal ethics as both a field of study and a discrete field of law. In that time thinking about the ethical dimension of legal practice has taken several turns: from justifications of zealous advocacy, to questions of process and connections to specifically legal values, to more recently consideration of legal conduct as part of a wider field of virtue. Parallel to this dynamism of thought, there has also been significant changes in how legal professions, especially within those that possess a common law heritage, have been regulated and the values and conceptions of legitimate conduct that has informed this regulation. This volume represents an opportunity for a comprehensive review of legal ethics as an international movement. Contributors include many of the key participants to the legal ethics field from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, including David Luban and Deborah Rhode, as well as many of the recognised emerging thinkers. The theme of the book is taking stock of the last thirty years of legal ethics practice and scholarship and also a forum for new ideas and new thinking regarding the conduct of lawyers and the moral and social responsibility of the legal profession. The contributions also consider the topic of dynamism. Over the last decade significant developments in both the expectations of professional conduct and the regulation of the profession has been experienced in all jurisdictions, which has seen traditional, and once sacred, conceptions of lawyering challenged and re-evaluated. The contributors also look at the theme of affirmation. Within an increasingly complex environment of change and dynamism, this volume reaffirms that there is value within the field of legal ethics. That is the project of reflecting on the unique ethical and conduct requirements of lawyering can not be submerged into a broader field of applied

Counter-Terrorism and Beyond Routledge Research in Terrorism and the Law
Edited by Andrew Lynch, Nicola McGarrity and George Williams, all of University of New South Wales, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57175-3; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book considers the increasing trend towards a ‘culture of control’ in democratic countries. The post-9/11 counter-terrorism laws in nations such as the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia provide a stark demonstration of this trend. These laws share a focus on the pre-emption of crime, restrictions on the right to liberty of non-suspects, limited public access to information, and increased community surveillance. The laws derogate, in many respects, from the ordinary principles of the criminal justice system and fundamental human rights while also harnessing public institutions in the broader project of prevention and control. Distinctively, the contributors to this volume focus on the impact of these laws outside of the counter-terrorism context. The book draws together a range of experts in both public and criminal law, from Australia and overseas, to examine the effect of counter-terrorism laws on public institutions within democracies more broadly. Issues considered include changes to the role and functions of the courts, the expansion of executive discretion, the seepage of extraordinary powers and pre-emptive measures into other areas of the criminal law, and the interaction and overlap between intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Counter-Terrorism and Beyond: The Culture of Law and Justice After 9/11 will be of interest to students and scholars of criminal law, criminology, comparative criminal justice, terrorism and national security, public law, human rights, governance and public policy.

Yet, with prevention comes prediction: the need to identify and detain those considered likely to engage in a terrorist act in the future. The
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
196 detention of ‘suspected terrorists’ is intended, therefore, to thwart a potential terrorist act recognising that retrospective action is of no consequence given the severity of terrorist crime. Although preventative steps against those reasonably suspected to have an intention to commit a terrorist act is sound counter-terrorism policy, a law allowing arbitrary arrest and detention is not. A State must carefully enact anti-terrorism laws to ensure that preventative detention does not wrongly accuse and grossly slander an innocent person, nor allow a terrorist to escape justice and walk free to continue their plans. This book analyses preventative confinement in three models of counter-terrorism policy within the context of international human rights law: an ‘intelligence’ model of counter-terrorism which advocates preventative detention orders; a ‘war’ model which allows for even stricter executive detention orders; and a ‘criminal justice’ model, where pre-charge detention will often be the measure for confinement of suspected terrorists. Counter-terrorism and the Detention of Suspected Terrorists argues that the way forward for Governments in counter-terrorism policy, from an international human rights law perspective, is a suggested model of pre-charge detention. The proposed model law recognises the exigencies of terrorist crime, but still maintains a sufficient threshold for appropriate detention. The book is written from a global counter-terrorism perspective drawing on cases and practice from different jurisdictions including the US, the UK and Australia, as well as jurisprudence from the ECHR.

The book argues that although the origins and histories of Islamic and international law of armed conflicts are very different both regimes are to a great extent compatible. The book will explore the details of the Islamic law of armed conflict examining its origins in the Koran, the sunnah, the hadith and views of classical jurists. In doing so Niaz Shah concludes that while the Islamic law of armed conflict certainly does not cover every aspect of current armed conflicts but the primary sources of Islamic law do not put any restrictions on carving out rules to cover modern developments in today’s armed conflicts. The book will address the present situations in Pakistan and Afghanistan, examining the conduct of hostilities by all parties in the region including the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, the Pakistani and Afghan security forces and the US-led coalition forces and identifying violations of the laws of armed conflicts. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international law, Islamic law, international relations, security studies and south east Asian studies. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

The borders under examination include both macro-level cooperation between nation-states, as well as micro-level cooperation between different Executive agencies within a nation-state. The volume brings together leading academics, public policy makers, legal practitioners and law enforcement officials from Europe, Australia and the Asian-Pacific region, to shed new light on the pressing problems impeding cross-border policing and law enforcement globally and regionally. Problems common to all jurisdictions are discussed and innovative ‘best practice’ solutions and models are considered. The book is structured in four parts: Police cooperation in the EU; in Australia; in the Asia-Pacific Region; and finally it considers issues of jurisdiction and due process/human rights issues, with a focus on regional cooperation strategies for countering human trafficking, organised crime and terrorism. The book would be of interest to both academic and practitioner communities in policing, criminology, international relations, and comparative and EU legal studies.

The last decade has been a time of extensive change in the legal regulation of lesbian and gay lives in Britain, Canada and the US. Almost every area where the law impacts on sexuality has been reformed or modified. These legal developments combine to create a new, uncharted terrain for lesbians and gay men. And, through an analysis of their attitudes, views and experiences, this book explores the effects of these developments. Drawing on, and developing, the concept of ‘legal consciousness’, Regulating Sexuality focuses on four different ‘texts’: qualitative responses to a large-scale online survey of lesbians’ and gay men’s views about the legal recognition of same sex relationships; published auto/biographical narratives about being and becoming a lesbian or gay parent; semi-structured, in-depth, interviews with lesbians and gay men about relationship recognition, parenting, discrimination and equality; and fictional utopian texts. In this study of the interaction between law and society in social justice movements, Rosie Harding interweaves insights from the new legal pluralism with legal consciousness studies to present a rich and nuanced exploration of the contemporary regulation of sexuality.

The dominant account of public space fails to acknowledge and engage with a remarkably pervasive yet overlooked logic that shapes the ways in which public space is regulated, conceived of, and argued about. This logic, which Nicholas Blomley calls 'pedestrianism', values public space not in terms of its aesthetic merits, or its success in promoting public citizenship and democracy. Rather, departing from much of the existing emphasis on the socially directive nature of much public space regulation , the function of the street is understood to be the promotion and facilitation of pedestrian flow and circulation. Although a powerful form of governance, pedestrianism tends to be obscured by grander and more visible forms of urban regulation. The rationality at work here may appear mundane and everyday; but, precisely because it is uncontroversial, pedestrianism is able to operate below the academic and political radar. Documenting the pervasiveness of pedestrianism, Nicholas Blomley addresses its relationship to bureaucratic practice, legal interpretation and political debate. Rights of Passsage: Sidewalks and the Regulation of Public Flow thus shows how the sidewalk is literally produced, encoded, rendered legible and operational with reference to a dense array of codes,

The Era of Transitional Justice Transitional Justice
Paul Gready, University of York, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58116-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Era of Transitional Justice: The Aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa and Beyond explores the broader issues raised by political transition and transitional justice through the prism of the TRC and transition in South Africa. South Africa constitutes a powerful case study of the enduring structural legacies of a troubled past, and of both the potential and limitations of transitional justice and human rights as agents of transformation in the contemporary era. South Africa’s story has broader relevance because it helped to launch constitutional human rights and transitional justice as global discourses; as such, its own legacy is to some extent writ large in post-authoritarian and post-conflict contexts across the world. Based on a decade of research, and in an analysis that is both comparative and interdisciplinary, Paul Gready maintains that transitional justice needs to do more to address structural violence - and in particular poverty, inequality and social and criminal violence - as these have emerged as stubborn legacies from an oppressive or war-torn past in many parts of the world. Organised around four central themes - new keyword conceptualisation, re-imagining human rights, engaging with the past and present, remaking the public sphere - it is an argument that will be of considerable interest to those interested in the law and politics of transitional societies.

Hakeem O. Yusuf, Queens University Belfast, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57535-5; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Transitional Justice, Judicial Accountability and the Rule of Law addresses the importance of judicial accountability in transitional justice processes. Despite a general consensus that the judiciary plays an important role in contemporary governance, accountability for the judicial role in formerly authoritarian societies remains largely elided and under-researched. Hakeem O. Yusuf argues that the purview of transitional justice mechanisms should, as a matter of policy, be extended to scrutiny of the judicial role in the past. Through a critical comparative approach that cuts through the transitioning experiences of post-authoritarian and post-conflict polities in Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa, the book focuses specifically on Nigeria. It demonstrates that public accountability of the judiciary through the mechanism of a truth-seeking process is a necessary component in securing comprehensive accountability for the judicial role in the past. Transitional Justice, Judicial Accountability and the Rule of Law further shows that an across-the-board transformation of state institutions - an important aspiration of transitional processes - is virtually impossible without incorporating the third branch of government, the judiciary, into the accountability process.

199 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In its case law, the European Court of Human Rights has acknowledged that national courts are bound to give effect to Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) which sets out the right to private and family life, when they rule on controversies between private individuals. Article 8 of the ECHR has thus been accorded Drittwirkung or ‘third-party’ effect in private law relationships. The German law of privacy has quite a long history, and the influence of the European Court of Human Rights’ interpretation of the ECHR has led to a strengthening of privacy protection in the German law. This book considers how English courts could possibly use and adapt structures adopted by the German legal order in response to rulings from the European Court of Human Rights, to strengthen the protection of privacy in the private sphere. CONTENTS 1. The practical need for privacy protection in private law relationships 2. Protection under English tort law 3. The protection of privacy as a State obligation under the ECHR 4. Can and should the English courts wait until Parliament enacts legislation on privacy protection?
Asylum, Welfare and the Cosmopolitan Ideal Lydia Morris, University of Essex, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49773-2; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Asylum, Welfare and the Cosmopolitan Ideal: A Sociology of Rights puts forward the argument that rights must be understood as part of a social process: a terrain for strategies of inclusion and exclusion but also of contestation and negotiation. Engaging debate about how ‘cosmopolitan’ principles and practices may be transforming national sovereignty, Lydia Morris explores this premise through a case study of legal activism, civil society mobilisation, and judicial decision making. The book documents government attempts to use destitution as a deterrent to control asylum numbers, and examines a series of legal challenges to this policy, spanning a period both before and after the Human Rights Act. Lydia Morris shows how human rights can be used as a tool for radical change, and in so doing proposes a multi-layered 'model' for understanding rights. This incorporates political strategy, public policy, civil society mobilisation, judicial decision making, and their public impact, and advances a dynamic understanding of rights as part of the recurrent encounter between principles and politics. Rights are therefore seen as both a social product and a social force. CONTENTS 1. The Right to Have Rights: Fond Illusion or Credo for Our Times? 2. Asylum Immigration and the Art of Government 3.

Binding Men Lois Bibbings, Unversity of Bristol, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-904-38541-7; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Binding Men investigates nineteenth century notions of masculinity. It examines a number of nineteenth century criminal cases, focusing upon theoretical themes relating to masculinity and the state in order to offer a way of reading past decisions as well as a means of analyzing nineteenth century attitudes in society and the courts. Of the cases selected some are still binding upon English and Welsh courts today, others are first instance decisions and a few attracted a great deal of sensation when they were heard. Of these the most well-known are R v Dudley and Stevens (murder, necessity and cannibalism), R v Boulton (crossing dressing), R v Coney (prize-fighting) and R v Crippen (the trial of Dr Crippen). This book combines traditional legal analysis with a more socio-legal and social historical approach. Drawing upon a variety of sources including trial transcripts, law reports, official correspondence and newspaper stories, Binding Men unpicks the narratives of masculinity which the cases tell. CONTENTS Masculinity, Law and History. Masticating the Male: A Recipe for Masculinity. Mary-Annes and Mollies: The Carnivalesque, Camp and Cross-dressing. Manly Diversions, Debauchery and Disorder.

Pursuing an original political approach rather than taking a moral stance, his discussion compares the topics of sovereignty, power and legitimacy with moral desert or consequentialism and explores their impact on perceptions and practices of capital punishment. Covering micro-issues of legal doctrine and administrative practice, as well as arguments for and against abolition, this book is an invaluable resource for academics and students in law and political theory.

Child Pornography Alisdair A. Gillespie, De Montfort University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49987-3; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Child Pornography: Law and Policy draws on interdisciplinary work in order to critically address the law relating to child pornography. Child pornography is recognised as a specific form of child abuse and there are now many national, and international, efforts to tackle it. Yet despite these efforts, the volume of child pornography, particularly on the internet, is increasing. The law has reacted to this situation by adapting its definitions, increasing sentences and providing new powers to law enforcement. It is, however, unclear how far the law should extend. What should the relationship be between criminalisation and free-speech? And is there a link between the "use" of child pornography and contact offending? The issue of child pornography has been the subject of considerable literature in the areas of psychology, sociology and psychiatry. These studies provide the basis for a greater understanding of the nature of child pornography, as well as the profiles and behaviour of those who access or produce such material. Child Pornography: Law and Policy brings this wider literature to bear on the legal and policy frameworks relating to child pornography, questioning both the appropriateness and the effectiveness of the law in this context.

Comparative Perspectives on Communal Lands and Individual Ownership Edited by Lee Godden and Maureen Tehan, both of University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 416pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45720-0; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Comparative Perspectives on Communal Lands and Individual Ownership: Sustainable Futures addresses property and land title as central mechanisms governing access to communally-held land and resources. The collection assesses the effectiveness of property law and tenure models developed around concepts of individual ownership, for achieving long-term environmental and economic sustainability for indigenous peoples and local communities. It explores the momentum for change in the international realm, and then develops a comparative focus across Australia, North America, Africa, Peru, New Zealand and the Pacific region, examining the historical and current impacts of individuation of title on the customary law and practice of indigenous peoples and local communities. Themes of property, privatisation and sustainable communities are developed in theoretical analyses and case studies from these jurisdictions. The case studies throw into sharp relief how questions of land law and resources management should not be separated from wider issues about the long-term viability of communities. Comparative analysis allows consideration of how western models of land tenure and land title might better accommodate the exercise of traditional practices of indigenous peoples and local communities, while still promoting autonomy, choice and economic development. This volume will be of interest to scholars and professionals

The Criminology of Pleasure Mike McGuire and Simon Hallsworth, both of London Metropolitan University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54778-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Criminology of Pleasure offers a new way of thinking about crime and crime control, as it maintains that the very rationale of the criminal justice system lies in the channelling of desire and regulating of pleasure. Criminology has only confronted the importance of the desire/pleasure nexus tangentially: through the reference to transgression, resistance and edge-work, and in its concern with social marginalisation. The Criminology of Pleasure , however, argues for the fundamental importance of desire/pleasure in understanding social order and control. Whilst ostensibly concerned with crime and its control, the criminal justice system is, the authors argue, centred upon a more fundamental project – that of managing desire. Precisely what this means is systematically articulated here: first, by considering how various pleasures have been regulated in history; and, second, by mapping the key ways in which desire is now

202 regulated. In a political landscape that has witnessed attempts both on the part of the political right and left to attack and replace criminology with something else - a science of crime or a science of social harm - this book not only provides a highly original analysis; but also a radical, innovative and heretical defence of criminology.
The Delivery of Human Rights Edited by Geoff Gilbert, University of Essex, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57992-6; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Delivery of Human Rights reflects on two overlapping issues in international human rights law: how can existing norms be better implemented and effected, and how can other branches of international law or other international actors be used so as to provide an improved delivery of those norms. Rather than simply looking at the content of the rights, this book will also explore how the framers’ intention that individuals benefit from the norms can be achieved. The book is intended written and published in honour of Professor Sir Nigel Rodley KBE. It celebrates his career as an academic and practitioner in the area of human rights. Professor Rodley acted as the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture from 1993 to 2001 and is currently a member of the UN Human Rights Committee. He is also a Commissioner of the International Commission of Jurists. Since 2001 he has been a Member of the UN Human Rights Committee, established under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In 1998 he was knighted in the Queen's New Year's Honours list for services to Human Rights and International Law and in 2000 he received an honorary LLD from Dalhousie University. He is Professor and Chair of the Human Rights Centre, University of Essex, having taught there since 1990. The contributors to this volume are notable experts in the area of human rights law and include Paul Hunt, Malcolm Evans, Theo van Boven, Andrew Clapham, and Hurst Hannum. The book addresses such as the Role of Special Rapporteurs, how can the absolute prohibition of torture be properly implemented, Responsibility to Protect, non-state actors, including businesses, and human rights.

Drugs, Crime and Public Health Alex Stevens, University of Kent, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49104-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Drugs, Crime and Public Health provides an accessible but critical discussion of recent policy on illicit drugs. Using a comparative approach - centred on the UK, but with insights and complementary data gathered from the USA and other countries - it argues that problematic drug use can only be understood in the social context in which it takes place, a context which it shares with other problems of crime and public health. The book demonstrates the social and spatial overlap of these problems, examining the focus of contemporary drug policy on crime reduction. This focus, Alex Stevens contends, has made it less, rather than more, likely that longterm solutions will be produced for drugs, crime and health inequalities. And he concludes, through examining competing visions for the future of drug policy, with an argument for social solutions to these social problems. CONTENTS 1. Introduction; 2. Crime, drugs and public health problems as "afflictions of inequality"; 3. Survival of the ideas that fit: The use of evidence in crime and drug policy; 4. The exaggeration of the drug-crime link; 5. Tough on crime, tough on drug users; 6. Coercing drug users: A solution to drug-related crime?; 7. International perspectives; 8. Alternative futures.

203 www.routledge.com/978-1-904385-22-6; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The GM debate has been ongoing for over a decade, yet it has been contained in the scientific world and presented in technical terms. This book brings the debates about GM food into the social and criminological arena. On September 11th 2003, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety became international law. As a result, a vast number of practices currently adopted by the US and UK Governments, as well as numerous bio-tech industries, became illegal. To date, criminal activity and GM food has been reported in the press, however, it has been confined to the actions of protest groups destroying GM crops and testing laboratories. This book highlights the criminal actions of state and corporate officials, including the illegal use of genetic technologies, the illegal production and sale of GM products, the economic exploitation of trade in third world countries, the monopolization of seeds and economic disaster for GM farmers, biopiracy and the manipulation of science. CONTENTS Introduction. The Development and Production of GM Food. GM Food: Manna from Heaven or a Human Curse. International Law and the Regulation of GM Food.

Events: The Force of International Law Edited by Fleur Johns, University of Sydney, Australia, Richard Joyce, University of Reading, UK and Sundhya Pahuja, University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55452-7; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Events: The Force of International Law presents an analysis of international law, centred upon those historical and recent events in which international law has exerted, or acquired, its force. From Spanish colonization and the Peace of Westphalia, through the release of Nelson Mandela and the Rwandan genocide, and to recent international trade negotiations and the 'torture memos', each chapter in this book focuses on a specific international legal event. Short and accessible to the non-specialist reader, these chapters consider what forces are put into play when international law is invoked, as it is so frequently today, by lawyers, laypeople, or leaders. At the same time, they also reflect on what is entailed in naming these ‘events’ of international law and how international law grapples with their disruptive potential. Engaging economic, military, cultural, political, philosophical and technical fields, Events: The Force of International Law will be of interest to international lawyers and scholars of international relations, legal history, diplomatic history, war and/or peace studies, and legal theory. It is also intended to be read and appreciated by anyone familiar with appeals to international law from the general media, and curious about the limits and possibilities occasioned, or the forces mobilised, by that appeal.

Feminist Encounters with Legal Philosophy Edited by Maria Drakopoulou, University of Kent, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49760-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Presenting feminist readings of texts from the legal philosophical and jurisprudential canon, the papers collected here offer an interdisciplinary and critical challenge to established modes of reading law. Feminist approaches to law usually take the form of either critical engagements with legal doctrine, legal concepts and ideas, or critical assessments of the effects that specific areas of law have upon the lives of women. This collection, however, although rooted in feminist legal scholarship, takes the established canon of legal texts as the object of inquiry. Taking as their common starting point the fact that legal texts are plural and open to multiple readings, all the contributions in this collection offer subversive, but supplementary, interpretations of the legal canon. In this respect, however, they do not merely sustain an array of feminist styles and theories of reading. Revealing, and re-appropriating, the plural space of legal interpretation, they seek to open a hitherto unexplored arena for a feminist politics of law.

Foucault’s writing has become a central reference in theoretical and sociological criminology generally and, more specifically, in what Jock Young has called ‘control theory’. The main purpose of this book is to offer a better, clearer and deeper understanding of ongoing criminological debates to both undergraduate and research students in criminology by outlining the theoretical framework which criminologists have taken from Foucault. Its second purpose is to trace the evolution of Foucault’s political project and to counterpose the thrust of his elaborations to the more pedestrian applications of his critical analyses of the present in the field of criminology. In these respects, Foucault and Criminology offers a 'map' to guide students and practitioners of criminology: both through Foucault's own writings and those of contemporary criminologists whose work may be characterised as Foucauldian. In so doing, it also pursues the argument that Foucault’s historical and theoretical analyses of discipline, power and governance must be understood in the context of his overall project if criminologists are to avoid reducing Foucault’s radicality, and to reclaim the critical, and resistive, potential of his work.

Framing Crime Edited by Keith Hayward and Mike Presdee, University of Kent, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00 £27.50 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45903-7; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45904-4; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In a world in which media images of crime and deviance proliferate, where every facet of offending is reflected in a ‘vast hall of mirrors’, Framing Crime: Cultural Criminology and the Image makes sense of the increasingly blurred line between the real and the virtual. Images of crime and crime control have become almost as 'real' as crime and criminal justice itself. The meaning of both crime and crime control now resides, not solely in the essential - and essentially false - factuality of crime rates or arrest records, but also in the contested processes of symbolic display, cultural interpretation, and representational negotiation. It is essential, then, that criminologists are closely attuned to the various ways in which crime is imagined, constructed and framed within modern society. Framing Crime responds to this demand with a collection of papers aimed at helping the reader to understand the ways in which the contemporary ‘story of crime’ is constructed and promulgated through the image. It also provides the relevant analytical and research tools to unearth the hidden social and ideological concerns that frequently underpin images of crime, violence and transgression. Framing Crime will be of interest to students and academics in the fields of criminology, crime and the media, and sociology. CONTENTS 1.

206 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Bringing together an international range of academics, Gender, Law and Sexualities provides a comprehensive interrogation of the range of issues - both topical and controversial - raised by the gendered character of law and legal discourse. The gendering of law, legal persons and the legal profession, along with the gender bias of legal outcomes, has been a fractious, but fertile, focus of reflection. It has, moreover, been an important site of political struggle. This collection of essays offers an unrivalled examination of its various contemporary dimensions: focusing on issues of theory and representation; on violence, both national and international; and on marriage and the family. Gender, Law and Sexualities will be invaluable for all those engaged in research and study in the areas of law relating to gender and feminist studies. CONTENTS Part 1: Gender, Law, Sex and Theory 1.

Genocide, State Crime, and the Law Jennifer Balint, University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54381-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Genocide, State Crime and the Law argues that genocide and other forms of state crime must be located in relation to cultural, political and legal processes if they are to be properly understood and addressed. Discussing a series of case studies of genocide - in Armenia, Nazi Germany, Cambodia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia - the book is oriented towards two post-conflict problems: how to address the institutional dimensions of the harm perpetrated, and to what extent law can lay claim to being a reconstitutive actor. Such occurrences of genocide are regularly considered as an event that is disconnected from the particular character of the society in which it occurs. But it is with reference to their distinct cultural, political and legal contexts that, Jennifer Balint maintains, genocide must be approached. It is not, she argues, new institutions that are needed; but a new approach to addressing genocide and state crime - one that takes into consideration its broader social, historical and institutional dimensions. Only then is it possible to understand the limits and the potential of post-conflict political-legal processes. An important, and indeed vital, contribution to the growing interest and literature in the area of post-conflict studies, Genocide, State Crime and the Law will be of considerable value to those concerned with law’s ability to be a force for good in the wake of harm and atrocity.

207 There are few topics as controversial as globalisation. It is meant to bring economic growth and solve a range of social, cultural and humanitarian problems. However, there are significant debates in relation to the extent that the reality of globalisation reflects this idealized vision. In particular, globalisation has produced a highly interdependent world, rendering state boundaries meaningless and challenging the ideology and limits of certain areas of international law. This book will provide the opportunity to address some of the multifaceted issues provoked by the issue of globalisation. The book is an exploration of the intricate nexus that emerges as a result of globalisation, inextricably linking together issues of international law, human rights, environmental law and international trade law. Bringing together a number of experts in the field, the book focuses on the areas of social justice and environmental justice, and explores the links that exists between the two and the effect of globalisation on these areas. As globalisation has many facets and actors, the contributions to the book engage with interdisciplinary research to deal with the various challenges identified, and critically explore both the potential of globalisation as a vehicle of sustainable and equitable development.

Global Perspectives on the Rule of Law Edited by James J. Heckman, University of Chicago, USA, Robert L. Nelson, Northwestern University, USA and Lee Cabatingan, American Bar Foundation, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £27.50 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 342pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58959-8; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Global Perspectives on the Rule of Law is a collection of original research on the rule of law from a panel of leading economists, political scientists, legal scholars, sociologists and historians. The chapters critically analyze the meaning and foundations of the rule of law and its relationship to economic and democratic development, challenging many of the underlying assumptions guiding the burgeoning field of rule of law development. The combination of jurisprudential, quantitative, historical/comparative, and theoretical analyses seeks to chart a new course in scholarship on the rule of law: the volume as a whole takes seriously the role of law in pursuing global justice, while confronting the complexity of instituting the rule of law and delivering its promised benefits. Written for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, Global Perspectives offers a unique combination of jurisprudential and empirical research that will be provocative and relevant to those who are attempting to understand and advance the rule of law globally. The chapters progress from broad questions regarding current rule of development efforts and the concept of rule of law to more specific issues pertaining to economic and democratic development. Specific countries, such as China, India, and seventeenth century England and The Netherlands, serve as case studies in some chapters, while broad global surveys feature in other chapters. Indeed, this impressive scope of research ushers in the next generation of scholarship in this area. CONTENTS Global Perspectives on the Rule of Law: A Preface and an Introduction Robert L.

A History of Drugs traces a genealogy of the construction and governance of the ‘drug problem’ over the past 200 years: calling into question some of the most fundamental ideas in this field: from ‘addiction’ to the very concept of ‘drugs’. At the heart of the book is the claim that it was with the emergence in the late eighteenth century of modern liberal capitalism, with its distinctive emphasis on freedom, that our concerns about the consumption of some of these substances began to grow. And, indeed, notions of freedom, free will and responsibility remain central to the drug question today. Pursuing an innovative inter-disciplinary approach, A History of Drugs provides an informed and insightful account of the origins of contemporary drug policy. It will be essential reading for students and academics working in law, criminology, sociology, social policy, history and political science. CONTENTS 1.

Honour, Violence, Women and Islam Edited by Mohammad Mazher Idriss, University of Coventry, UK and Tahir Abbas, University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56542-4; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Why are honour killings and honour-related violence (HRV) so important to understand? What do such crimes represent? And how does HRV fit in with Western views and perceptions of Islam? This distinctively comparative collection examines the concept of HRV against women in general and Muslim women in particular. The issue of HRV has become a sensitive subject in many South Asian and Middle Eastern countries and it has received the growing attention of the media, human rights groups and academics around the globe. However, the issue has yet to receive detailed academic study in the United Kingdom, particularly in terms of both legal and sociological research. This collection sets out the theoretical and ethical parameters of the study of HRV in order to address this intellectual vacuum in a socio-legal context. The key objectives of this book are: to construct, and to develop further, a theory of HRV; to rationalise and characterise the different forms of HRV; to investigate the role of religion, race and class in society within this context, in particular, the role of Islam; to scrutinise the role of the civil/criminal law/justice systems in preventing these crimes; and to inform public policy makers of the potential policies that may be employed in combating HRV.

Engaging the current

209 political and jurisprudential thought on constituent power with a radical political re-thinking of human rights, Ilan Rua Wall develops the idea that human rights must be considered as a non-metaphysical process of ‘right-ing’. The first part of this argument discusses both the classical theory of constituent power and its contemporary conceptualization, in order to elaborate the conception of an ‘open’ constituent power, not tied to a the closure of a constituted order. This conception is then further developed through the re-imagination of community, and of the political, as a ruptural force. The consequence is a more radical form of human rights: now understood, not just a moralistic cover for biopolitical subordination, but as a constituent potentia; the coming to presence of a radical sense of beingwith, and a very different human right-ing.

Human Rights, or Citizenship? Paulina Tambakaki, University of Westminster, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 168pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48163-2; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION While human rights have been enjoying unprecedented salience, the concept of the citizen has been significantly challenged. Rising ethical concerns, the calling into question of state sovereignty, and the consolidation of the human rights regime, have all contributed to a shift in focus: from an exclusionary, problematic citizenship to human rights. Human Rights or Citizenship? examines this shift and explores its implications for democracy. In an accessible way, the book explores the arguments within contemporary democratic theory that privilege law and legally codified human rights over citizenship; questioning whether legalism alone could lead us to a better, more equitable politics. Does the prioritisation of law and legally codified human rights risk depoliticisation? Do human rights always contest relations of power and subordination? Addressing these questions, Human Rights or Citizenship? opens a debate about the role of citizenship and human rights in democracy. It will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in democratic politics today. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Citizenship and Human Rights in Tension. Changes, Issues and Approaches 2. Privileging Human Rights 3. The Illusive Promise of Human Rights 4. Politics and Legalism 5. Back to Citizenship, An Agonistic Conception. Conclusion: And Human Rights?

This book presents and assesses the most recent and current research on internet child abuse, addressing: its nature, the behaviour and treatment of its perpetrators, international policy, legislation and protection, and policing. It will be required reading for an international audience of academics, researchers, policy makers and criminal justice practitioners with interests in this area. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Law is central to the complex ways in which different Muslim communities and institutions create and re-create their identities around symbols of faith and law. But what is at stake here is not a conflict between common law and Shari`a, but the possibility of opening both forms of law to different constructions of identity. Exploring a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the differences and similarities between the secular and the divine, this collection examines the different legacies of monotheism, and their connection with legal traditions.And, in so doing, it takes up the specific conjunctions of traditions that give meaning, and constitute identity, in relation to such terms as Shari`a law, modernity and secularisation. | CONTENTS Introduction; PART I: 1.

Jurisdiction: The Expression and Representation of Law Edward Mussawir, University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58996-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Jurisdiction: The Expression and Representation of Law pursues an emerging interest in the conceptual thematic of jurisdiction within legal studies; as it maintains that an adequate understanding of the power of law requires an attention, not just to the representation of law, but to its expression. In an age in which the authority to make new laws can been invoked everywhere as a response to changing patterns of social order, the importance of the techniques and technologies through which jurisdiction is produced is self-evident. But theories of legal power in modern jurisprudence have tended to focus upon the problematic of sovereignty and its relation to the origin, foundation and purpose of authority. The issue of jurisdiction - which continue to order the technical operations of law, the modalities of legal institution and the aesthetics of judgment - has, however, remained largely unaddressed. Drawing upon the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, Edward Mussawir provides an analysis of jurisdiction that, combining theoretical and historical commentary with contemporary case studies, focuses on three core subjects: persons, rights and actions. The fashioning of persons, possessions and procedures of law involves institutional techniques which cannot be reduced to the usual co-ordinates of rational judgment, objectivity or legal subjectivity. And it is in addressing the articulation of these techniques that Jurisdiction: The Expression and Representation of Law provides a new account of law's power: through the development of a jurisprudence of law's expression, rather than its representation.

Building upon previous analyses which have focused on a single aspect of extraterritorially applied public law including criminal law, human rights and competition law, this book will examine each field in turn placing them in their context, before drawing them together in a coherent and systematic way. The book examines recent law and practice, as well as historic developments, and explores the important issue of enforcement. It also looks at the authority supporting the restriction of extraterritorial jurisdiction looking at international law, foreign law and practice and comity. It goes on to point the way forward in the development of the extraterritorial application of public law, and suggests ways in which greater

Law and Art Edited by Oren Ben-Dor, University of Southampton, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56021-4; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The contributions to Law and Art address the interaction between law, justice, the ethical and the aesthetic. The exercise of the legal role and the scholarly understanding of legal texts were classically defined as ars iuris - an art of law - which drew on the panoply of humanist disciplines, from philology to fine art. That tradition has fallen by the wayside, particularly in the wake of modernism. But, as this book demonstrates, a consideration of the relationship between law and art can still bring jurisprudence, and particularly critical jurisprudence, to life. In its attention to the inexpressible, art can contribute to the liberation of legal doctrine from its own selfimposed limits. It can inform the ethics of a legal theory that is concerned to address how theoretical abstractions and concrete oppressions overlook the singularity and spontaneity to which art attests. The contributors to this volume - and their engagement with the full range of 'the arts' - seek, therefore, to disturb and to supplement conventional accounts of justice: raising the difficulty, but also the promise, of that surplus which art reveals: of life over legal formalisation.

Law and Religion in Public Life Edited by Nadirsyah Hosen and Richard Mohr, both of University of Wollongong, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57249-1; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Following the 9/11 terrorist attack, the attention paid to the issue of how peoples of various faiths live by both secular laws as well as their religious law has increased significantly. The issues of freedom of religion and religious accommodation in law are being debated in courts and legislatures across numerous jurisdictions. Such debates are also closely associated with broader discussions around secularism, multiculturalism, immigration, settlement and security. The book is unique in bringing together leading scholars and respected religious leaders to address contemporary issues in the relationship of law, religion and the state. The contributors to the volume bring legal, theoretical, historical and religious insights to bear on some of the most pressing social issues of our time. The variety of perspectives highlights the religious dimensions of law, the legal dimensions of religion, and the interaction between secular law and religion. Particular attention is given to the implications for law and society, religious tolerance and freedom. The book focuses on the practical and topical issues that have arisen in recent years in Australia. As one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world, a pioneer of multicutural policies in immigration and social justice, Australia is a revealing site for contemporary studies in a world afraid of immigration and terrorism., issues that are affecting much of the globe.

Law, Ethics and the Biopolitical Amy Swiffen, University of Alberta, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57844-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Law, Ethics and the Biopolitical explores the emerging consensus that legal authority is no longer related to national sovereignty but to the common good of a political community and the ‘moral’ attempt to nurture life. The waning legitimacy of sovereignty has signalled the renewal of a version of natural law that de-emphasises the idea of a divine law-giver, in favour of an Aristotelian conception of human flourishing as the ‘common good’. And, whilst the relationship between law and ethics has long been a central concern in legal studies, now it is the relationship between law and life that has become crucial. Synthesizing elements of AngloAmerican legal scholarship on sovereignty, theories of biopolitics and biopower, as well as recent developments in the domains of ethics, Amy Swiffen examines the invocation of ‘life’ as a foundation for legal authority. The definition of life as naturally driven to survive is not, she argues, the morally neutral limit it might appear to be. And, critically analysing the fundamental principles of the bioethical paradigm, Law, Ethics and the Biopolitical documents the connection between the bioethical good - life - and a specific form of law and of biopolitical power.

Law in the Pursuit of Development Edited by Amanda Perry Kessaris, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £27.50 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 292pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58962-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Law in the Pursuit of Development critically explores the relationships between contemporary principles and practice in law and development. Including papers by internationally renowned, as well as emerging, scholars and practitioners, the book is organised around the three liberal principles which underlie current efforts to direct law towards the pursuit of development. First, that the private sector has an important role to play in promoting the public interest; second, that widespread participation and accountability are essential to any large scale enterprise; and third, that the rule of law is a fundamental building block of development. This insightful and provocative collection, in which contributors critique both the principles and efforts to implement them in practice, will be of considerable interest to students, academics and practitioners with an interest in the fields of law and development, international economic law, and law and globalization.

Lawscape Nicole Graham, University of Technology Sydney, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47559-4; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Lawscape: Property, Environment, Law considers the ways in which property law transforms both natural environments and social economies. Addressing law's relationship to land and natural resources through its property regime, Lawscape engages the abstract philosophy of property law with the material environments of place. Whilst most accounts of land law have contributed cultural analyses of historical and political value predominantly through the lens of property rights, few have contributed analyses of the natural consequences of property law through the lens of property responsibilities. Lawscape does this by addressing the relationship between the commodification of land, instituted in and by property law, and ecological and economic histories. Its synthesis of property law and environmental law provides a genuinely transdisciplinary analysis of the particular cultural concepts and practices of land tenure that have been created, and exported, across the globe.

Legal Architecture Linda Mulcahy, Birkbeck, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57539-3; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Legal Architecture addresses how the environment in which the trial takes place can be seen as a physical expression of our relationship with ideals of justice; as it approaches the history of courthouse design as a reflection of the troubled history of notions of due process. In contrast to a vision of judicial space as neutral Linds Mulcahy argues that understanding the factors which determine the internal design of the courtroom are crucial to a broader and more nuanced understanding of judgecraft and law. Current ways of thinking about how and why the courtroom should be partitioned into zones, and movement within it restricted, have come about as a result of turf wars about who can legitimately participate in the legal arena and call the judiciary to account. The containment of the jury, the increasing amount of space allocated to advocates, and the creation of dedicated space for journalists all have complex histories which deserve to be charted and discussed. But the issues raised by this attention to the history of court architecture are far from being of only historical significance. Across jurisdictions, important questions are beginning to be asked about the internal configurations of the courthouse and courtroom, such as the positioning of the dock, and the extent to which they undermine the assumption of innocence. Recent debate has also focused on the extent to which the traditional design of the judicial dais reflects outmoded notions of justice. A number of other issues are also ripe for more debate, including the extent to which courthouses are designed in ways which reflect their professed status as public or democratic spaces, and the ways in which the use of technology in courts is leading to practices which render the trial an inauthentic legal ritual. This fascinating and original book will be of interest to socio-legal or critical scholars working in the field of legal systems, legal method, the sociology of law, law and geography, evidence and human rights, as well as to architects.

Legal Theology Peter Fitzpatrick, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00 £22.50 $42.95; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56014-6; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56015-3; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Legal Theology provides a genealogy of modern law as a secular theology, calling into question the received ideas that modern law is radically different from its religious antecedents, and that modernity involved a repudiation of theological concepts. Peter Fitzpatrick charts the lineage of this secular theology through three ‘historicities’: the creation of the world’s imperium, of the modern worldsystem, in the sixteenth century; the time of revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; and the high modernism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Respectively condensed here in the writings of Vitoria, Hobbes and Nietzsche, Fitzpatrick
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
214 documents the substitution of a monotheistic God by successive articulations of a persistently 'deific' law. Legal Theology thus questions the story of secularism’s triumph, by eliciting the essentially religious force of modern law: a force that is, moreover, recognisable in secularism's contemporary imperial mission.

Living Under Two Laws Sharon Hanson PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £26.00 $52.00; 216x138 mm; 250pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-904385-59-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A multi-disciplinary approach to the exploration of the relationship between various forms of religious law and the demands of secular/civil English Law. The text focuses upon people 'of faith' and the tensions and accommodation they experience as they try to meet the increasingly conflictual demands of religious law and secular law. The text seeks to be a work of both theory and praxis. As such the text will apply the theoretical concept of the sacred paradox of law to specific examples drawn from various areas of English law. (For example: Employment law, Trust Law, Criminal Law, European Law, Human Rights Law and Discrimination law). In the areas of law under consideration the text will single out new legislation. Legislation that is clearly aimed at issues of religion (e.g the new regulations against Religious discrimination within employment law) and general legislation that causes major difficulties to some people of a certain level of traditionalism with differing types of religious faith (notably the Gender re-assignment Bill 2004). It draws upon aspects of socio-legal studies, law, critical legal studies, philosophy (French, German, Arabic) sociology of religion (secularisation), social history (secularisation), sociology of language, Religious studies (secularisation, the study of New Religious Movements and the new age), Christian theology, Jewish studies, Islamic Studies, discourse analysis, hermeneutics, law, critical theory, and critical legal studies.
Mainstreaming Human Security in Peace Operations and Crisis Management Edited by Wolfgang Benedek, Matthias C. Kettemann and Markus Möstl, all of University of Graz, Austria PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57402-0; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The concept of human security is a new approach to security that focuses on the individual human being and provides policy alternatives to the traditional state-centred view, which considers the state to be the only and ultimate referent of security. Formally introduced into the United Nations system in 1994 the concept’s intellectual roots draw from international humanitarian law, human rights and human development, and since its introduction human security has been progressively integrated into the international security discourse. Mainstreaming Human Security in Peace Operations and Crisis Management: Policies, Problems , Potential paints a comprehensive picture of the relevance of the concept of human security in practice in a time of changing security paradigms and a challenging international environment. This volume looks at the practical implications of mainstreaming human security. It focuses on the potential, problems and policies of human security in peace operations and crisis management operations of the United Nations and of the European Union. Topics addressed by the contributors include mainstreaming human rights and human security in peace and crisis management in general and the role of human security in the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy, security sector reform, restorative responses to human rights violations by peacemakers, human security in Serbia and in African peace operations as well as proposals for human security training. The contributions to the book focus equally on mainstreaming human security in the UN and in the EU context. The global issues discussed and conclusions drawn are of relevance for the future of security addressed by peace and crisis management operations all over the world.

Marginalized Communities and Access to Justice Edited by Yash Ghai CBE and Jill Cottrell, both of University of Hong Kong PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £27.99 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 270pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58963-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Marginalized Communities and Access to Justice is a comparative study, by leading researchers in the field of law and justice, of the imperatives and constraints of access to justice among a number of marginalized communities. A central feature of the rule of law is the equality of all before the law. As part of this equality, all persons have the right to the protection of their rights by the state, particularly the judiciary. Therefore equal access to the courts and other organs of the state concerned with the enforcement of the law is central. These studies – undertaken by internationally renowned scholars and practitioners – examine the role of courts and similar bodies in administering the laws that pertain to the entitlements of marginalized communities, and address individuals' and organisations' access to institutions of justice: primarily, but not exclusively, courts. They raise broad questions about the commitment of the state to law and human rights as the principal framework for policy and executive authority, as well as the impetus to law reform through litigation. Offering insights into the difficulties of enforcing, and indeed of the will to enforce, the law, this book thus engages fundamental questions about value of engagement with the formal legal system for marginalized communities.

Neoliberalism and the Law in Post Communist Transition Ioannis Glinavos, Kingston University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 220pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48654-5; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This work examines ideas about the role of law and legal reform in the creation of market economies, focusing on the process of post communist transition in Russia. Processes of transition in Russia were guided by a set of very specific neoliberal ideas about the nature of markets and capitalism, about the role of law and the primacy of the economic over the legal and political. These ideas however have come under fire as a result of the Russian experience of transition and the serious problems encountered by reforms. This led to a revision of the original neoliberal ideas, not least concerning the role of law and its relationship to the economic and the political. The result has been the emergence of a much more complex body of ideas about the role law plays in economic transformation. This book aims to close a gap in the literature on post communist transition by offering a theoretical interpretation of Russia’s experience which makes transition reform models comparable to development reform models. Focusing on the role of law and the relationship of economic priorities to law reform, this work offers a critical evaluation of currently dominant theories of economic and legal reform put to use in varied transition and development scenarios. In looking at the ideas which directed and animated reform in Russia, an enquiry is thus made into the wider relationship between democracy, regulation and the market in contemporary capitalism. Neoliberalism and the Law in Post Communist Transition will equip scholars and students of development studies, law, political economy and international economics with a critical guide to transition focused on the often neglected legal aspect of the reforms.

On the Right of Exclusion: Law, Ethics and Immigration Policy Bas Schotel, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57537-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION On the Right of Exclusion: Law, Ethics and Immigration Policy addresses the current immigration laws and practices of Western states, and argues that if states cannot substantially justify the exclusion of an alien, the latter should be admitted. When states deny aliens admission to their territory, they do not substantially justify the exclusion vis-à-vis the excluded alien. Bas Schotel challenges this state of affairs and calls for a reversal of the default position in admission laws. The justification should, he argues, involve a serious accounting for the interests and reasons applicable to the alien seeking admission. Which is to say that the burden of proof should lie with the state. To build this argument, the book makes three types of argument: legal, ethical and institutional. The legal argument shows that there are no grounds in either sovereignty or the structure of law for current admission practices. Whilst this legal argument makes a claim about what the state cannot do, the ethical argument shows what the state ought to do: and there are strong ethical reasons why the exclusion of aliens is something that should be justified. Finally, the institutional argument explores how this new position might be implemented. An original, yet practical, undermining of the logic that underlies current immigration laws, On the Right of Exclusion: Law, Ethics and Immigration Policy will be essential reading for those with intellectual, political and policy interests in this area.

Patient Safety, Law Policy and Practice Edited by John Tingle, Nottingham Trent University, UK and Pippa Bark, University College London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 220pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55731-3; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Patient safety is an issue which in recent years has grown to prominence in a number of countries political and health service agendas. The World Health Organisation has launched the World Alliance for Patient Safety which calculates that at any given time 1.4 million people worldwide are suffering from an infection acquired in a health facility. Millions of patients according to the Alliance endure prolonged ill-health disability and death caused by unreliable practices, services, and poor health care environments. This book explores the impact of legal systems on patient safety initiatives. It asks whether legal systems are being used in appropriate ways to support state and local managerial systems developing patient safety procedures, and what alternative approaches can and should be utilized? The chapters in this book explore the patient safety managerial structures that exist in countries where there is a developed patient safety infrastructure and culture. The legal structures of these countries are explored and related to major in-country patient safety issues such as consent to treatment protocols and guidelines, complaint handling, adverse incident reporting systems, civil litigation systems, in order to draw comparisons and conclusions on patient safety.

217 Penal Power and Colonial Rule provides an account of the distinctive way in which criminology developed outside the metropolitan centre. Proposing a radical revision of the Foucauldian thesis that criminological knowledge emerged in the service of a new form of power – discipline – that had inserted itself into the very centre of punishment, it argues that Foucault’s alignment of sovereign, disciplinary and governmental power will, necessarily, need to be re-read and re-balanced to account for its operation in the colonial sphere. For, although the emergence of disciplinary power and its attendant forms of knowledge provided for key social transformations in the modernising metropolitan state, in colonial states power was almost exclusively sovereign and governmental (bio-political), with disciplinary strategies given only limited and equivocal attention. In order to develop this argument, and give an account of the emergence of colonial criminology as a form of knowledge distinct from its metropolitan counterpart, this book provides an analysis of the key British colonial experience in India from the 1820s to the early 1920s. This analysis documents a colonial criminology, that was tied in crucial ways to the demands of colonial governance, whose birth can be placed 50 years or more before Lombroso or Ferri stepped upon the European stage: a criminology that developed its own unique modes of analysis, representation and measurement independent of metropolitan theory and practice. Drawing on postcolonial theory to ask whether we can speak of ‘colonial modernity’ or ‘the colonial state’ in the singular, it is, moreover, through the critical engagement of this analysis with Foucault's theoretical and historical account of the development of criminology that Penal Power and Colonial Rule opens up a new, and unduly negleted area of research.

Protecting the Property Rights of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons Anneke Smit, University of Windsor, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; ; pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57960-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Protecting the Property Rights of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons: Beyond Restitution pursues a rigorous examination of the various ways in which the protection of housing and property rights can contribute to durable solutions to displacement. The focus of most of the international community’s recent protection efforts has been on returning displaced persons to their homes following armed conflict. However, this focus on return has come at the expense of considering other possible durable solutions, particularly in cases of protracted displacement. In this book, Anneke Smit chronicles the failure of the international community’s attempts to promote widespread return through establishing housing and property restitution mechanisms. Drawing on a variety of displacement situations, and referring throughout to international human rights and refugee law, property law and theory, and sociological and anthropological literature on displacement and the meaning of ‘home’, she argues that a housing and property policy which supports integration in the communities where refugees and internally displaced persons find themselves after conflict is likely to represent a more effective and sustainable approach than a singular focus on return. Protecting the Property Rights of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons is based on extensive academic research, including fieldwork, as well as more than a decade of the author's practical experience working on displacement issues with government, international organisation and NGO actors. It will be of considerable interest to those with academic and policy interests in the rights of refugees and displaced persons.

Public Sex and the Law Chris Ashford, University of Sunderland, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55287-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Public Sex and the Law: Silent Desire examines the current legal status and regulation of of public sex. Legal reform of sexuality appears to have focussed upon the lesbian, gay and bisexual communities. But whilst ‘gay’ sexual acts and identities have seen a raft of legal reform and international debate - most notably in North America - sexuality activists have been reluctant to defend public sex, let alone campaign for legal reform. The men and women who engage in public sex and their expression of desire remains silent not only in the somatic encounters that take place, but also within the policy making process. This book draws upon original and multidisciplinary research into the operation of the ‘public sex community’ to highlight the unacknowledged battle being waged between the law enforcement and the cruising, cottaging and dogging communities.

Is the contemporary 'punitive' turn in the United States a sign of things to come in Europe? Is modern rationality at odds with violence, or the means to applying violence systematically? Punitive States links together these key contemporary debates in criminology, penology and social theory and offers an alternative analysis inspired by Georges Bataille and Rene Girard. The book concludes with three dramatic case studies that relate the foregoing arguments to contemporary cultural forms and political decisions. CONTENTS Introduction.

Reading Modern Law: Critical Methodologies and Sovereign Formations Edited by Ruth Buchanan, York University, Canada, Stewart Motha, University of Kent, UK and Sundhya Pahuja, University of Melbourne, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56854-8; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Reading Modern Law addresses the identification and elaboration of a critical methodology for reading and writing about law in modernity. While the force of law rests on determinate and localizable authorizations, as well as an expansive capacity to encompass what has not been pre-figured by an order of rules, the key question this dynamic of law raises is how legal forms might be deployed to confront and disrupt injustice. The urgency of this question must not eclipse the care its complexity demands. This book, whilst testifying to that complexity, offers a critical methodology for addressing its many challenges. The essays in this volume - all direct or oblique engagements with the work of Peter Fitzpatrick - chart a mode of resisting the imperialism of social scientific method, as much as geo-political empire. Their authors elaborate a critical and interdisciplinary treatment of law and modernity, and outline the pivotal role of sovereignty in contemporary formations of power, both national and international. From various overlapping vantage points, therefore, Reading Modern Law interrogates law’s relationship to power, as well as its relationship to the critical work of reading and writing about law in modernity.

Women’s vulnerability in transborder migration circuits is a widely debated topic across the social sciences and humanities, and there have been numerous studies of the processes that create the inequality that make female migrants, in particular, vulnerable. However, the contributors to this book stress the need for a more considered engagement

220 with those legal and political discourses that, claiming to protect women, also prohibit and normalise certain gendered identities. Organised around the themes of race, citizenship and human trafficking, Regulating the International Movement of Women documents this relationship between state protection and state control, as it pursues a critical examination of the role that the notion of vulnerability plays in the regulation of migrant women.

Resolving Disputes in the Asia-Pacific Region Shahla Ali, University of Hong Kong PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58372-5; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION How diverse cultures approach conflict in the context of the integration of global markets is a new arena for research and practice. To date, most of the research on international arbitration has focused exclusively on Western models of arbitration as practiced in Europe and North America. While such studies have accurately reflected the geographic foci of international arbitration practice in the late twentieth century, the number of international arbitrations conducted in East Asia has recently been growing steadily and on par with growth in Western regions. International Arbitration and Mediation in East Asia and the West presents empirical research about the attitudes and perceptions of over 115 arbitrators, judges, lawyers and members of the rapidly expanding arbitration community in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia as well as North America and Europe. The both covers both international commercial arbitration and "alternative" techniques such as mediation, providing an empirical analysis of how both types of dispute resolution are conducted in the East Asian context. The book examines the history and cultural context surrounding preferred methods of dispute resolution in the East Asian region and sheds light on the various approaches to international arbitration across these diverse regions. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international arbitration and dispute resolution, comparative and Asian law, as well as anyone dealing with potential conflict in international business relationships in East Asia.

Rethinking Rape Law Edited by Clare McGlynn, Durham University, UK and Vanessa E. Munro, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55027-7; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Rethinking Rape Law: International and Comparative Perspectives provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of contemporary rape laws, across a range of jurisdictions. In a context in which there has been considerable legal reform of sexual offences, Rethinking Rape Law engages with developments spanning national, regional and international frameworks. It is only when we fully understand the differences between the law of rape in times of war and in times of peace, between common law and continental jurisdictions, between societies in transition and societies long inured to feminist activism, that we are able to understand and evaluate current practices, with a view to change and a better future for victims of sexual crimes. Written by leading authors from across the world, this is the first authoritative text on rape law that crosses jurisdictions, examines its conceptual and theoretical foundations, and sets the law in its policy context. It is destined to become the primary source for scholarly work and debate on sexual offences laws. CONTENTS

Rights, Gender and Family Law Edited by Julie Wallbank, University of Leeds, UK, Shazia Choudhry, Queen Mary University of London, UK and Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £27.99 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58958-1; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There has been a widespread resurgence of rights talk in social and legal discourses pertaining to the regulation of family life, as well as an increase in the use of rights in family law cases, in the UK, the US, Canada and Australia. Rights, Gender and Family Law addresses the implications of these developments - and, in particular, the impact of rights-based approaches upon the idea of welfare and its practical application. There are now many areas of family law in which rights and welfare based approaches have been forced together. But whilst, to many, they are premised upon different ethics - respectively, of justice and of care - for others, they can nevertheless be reconciled. In this respect, a central concern is the 'gender-blind' character of rights-based approaches, and the ontological and practical consequences of their employment in the gendered context of the family. Rights, Gender and Family Law explores the tensions between rights-based and welfare-based approaches: explaining their differences and connections; considering whether, if at all, they are reconcilable; and addressing the extent to which they can advantage or disadvantage the interests of women, children and men. It may be that rights-based discourses will dominate family law, at least in the way that social policy and legislation respond to calls of equality of rights between mothers and fathers. This collection, however, argues that rights cannot be given centrestage without thinking through the ramifications for gendered power-relations, and the welfare of children. It will be of interest to researchers and scholars working in the fields of family law, gender studies and social welfare. CONTENTS 1.

222 Within an international context in which the right to silence has long been regarded as sacrosanct, this book provides the first comprehensive, empirically-based analysis of the effects of curtailing the right to silence. The right to silence has served as the practical expression of the principles that an individual was to be considered innocent until proven guilty, and that it was for the prosecution to establish guilt. In 1791, the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution proclaimed that none ‘shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself’. In more recent times, the privilege against self-incrimination has been a founding principle for the International Criminal Court, the new South African constitution and the Ad Hoc International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Despite this pedigree, over the past thirty years when governments have felt under pressure to combat crime or terrorism, the right to silence has been reconsidered, (as in Australia) curtailed (in most of the United Kingdom), or circumvented (by the creation of the military tribunals to try the Guantánamo detainees). The analysis here focuses upon the effects of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in England and Wales. There, curtailing the right to silence was advocated in terms of ‘common sense’ policy making and was achieved by an eclectic borrowing of concepts and policies from other jurisdictions. The implications of curtailing this right are here explored in detail with reference to the UK, but within a comparative context that examines how different ‘types’ of legal system regard the right to silence and the effects of constitutional protection.

Risk, Power and the State Magnus Hörnqvist, Stockholm University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $110.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54768-0; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Risk, Power and the State: After Foucault addresses how power is exercised in and by contemporary state organisations. Through a detailed analysis of programmatic attempts to shape behaviour linked to considerations of risk, this book pursues the argument that, whilst Foucault is useful for understanding power, the Foucauldian tradition - with its strands of discourse analysis, of governmentality studies, or of radical Deleuzian critique - suffers from a lack of clarification on key conceptual issues. Oriented around four case studies, the architecture of the book devolves upon the distinction between productive and repressive power. The first two studies focus on productive power: the management of long-term unemployment in the public employment service and cognitivebehavioural interventions in the prison service. Two further studies concern repressive interventions: the conditions of incarceration in the prison service and the activity of the customs service. These studies reveal that power, as conceptualised within the Foucauldian tradition, must be modified. A more complex notion of productive power is needed, which covers interventions that appeal to desires, and which govern both at a distance and at close range. Additionally, the simplistic paradigm of repressive power is called into question by the need to consider the organising role of norms and techniques that circumvent agency. Finally, it is argued, Foucault's concept of strategies - which accounts for the thick web of administrative directives, organisational routines, and techniques that simultaneously shape the behaviour of targeted individuals and members of the organisation - requires an organisational dimension that is often neglected in the Foucauldian tradition.

The Scene of Violence Alison Young, Melbourne University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £27.50 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 200pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58508-8; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In the contemporary fascination with images of crime, violence gets under our skin and keeps us enthralled. The Scene of Violence explores the spectator’s encounter with the cinematic scene of violence – rape and revenge, homicide and serial killing, torture and terrorism. Providing a detailed reading of both classical and contemporary films – for example, Kill Bill, Blue Velvet, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Psycho, The Accused, Elephant, Seven, Thelma & Louise, United 93, Zodiac, and No Country for Old Men – Alison Young returns the affective processes of the cinematic image to the study of law, crime and violence. Engaging with legal theory, cultural criminology and film studies, the book unfolds both our attachment to the authority of law and our identification with the illicit. Its original contribution is to bring together the cultural fascination of crime with a nuanced account of what it means to watch cinema. The Scene of Violence shows how the spectator is bound by the laws of film to the judgment of the crime-image.

The author, a Lacanian psychoanalyst and senior psychiatrist in France, with extensive experience working in institutional settings, analyses the logic informing the crimes of famous serial killers. Addressing the Landru case (which was the inspiration for Chaplin's Monsieur Verdoux), as well as those of Pierre Riviere, Donato Bilancia, Harold Shipman and others such as Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy, Biagi-Chai casts light on the confusion that pervades forensic psychiatry and criminal law as to the distinction between mental illness and ‘madness’. Finally, she elaborates the consequences of her argument in a sustained critique of the insanity defence as it currently operates in France and elsewhere. The book includes a Preface by the renowned psychoanalyst, Jacques-Alain Miller. It also includes an introduction by the translators on the question of insanity before the law in the US and in the UK, which considers the pertinence of Biagi-Chai’s argument for forensic psychiatry, for criminal law, and for the increasing contemporary focus on the assessment of dangerousness and risk-management strategies in crime control practices.
Sexuality and the Politics of Rights in Southern Africa Oliver Phillips, University of Westminster, London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 250pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-904385-18-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Exploring sexuality and what constitutes appropriate sexual behaviours in South Africa and Zimbabwe, this book views sexuality as an instrument of social regulation and traces the historical continuities between colonialism and current debates. The distinctly contrary ways that both countries have approached sexuality epitomize either the intransigence of the ‘traditional’ or the promise of ‘liberation’. Phillips analyzes their differences and similarities, including the contrasting role of the constitution as a platform for rights in each country, their different engagement with customary law and legal subjectivity within the context of a range of concerns, including: gender equality expressions of cultural authenticity rights in local attempts to define the post-colonial nation. A powerful look at the key elements of gender relations, post-colonial nationhood and sexual rights, this book is an invaluable legal reference resource for all those interested in the interface between sexuality, gender and the law.

The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of World-Making David Delaney, Amherst College, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46319-5; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Critical legal geography is practised by an increasing number of scholars in various disciplines, but it has not had the benefit of an overarching theoretical framework that might overcome its currently rather ad hoc character. The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of World-Making remedies this situation. Presenting a balanced convergence of contemporary socio-legal and critical geographic scholarship, David Delaney offers a ground-breaking contribution to the fast growing field of legal geography. Drawing on strands of critical social studies that inform both of these areas, this book has three primary components. First, it introduces a framework of interpretation and analysis centred on the productive neologisms ‘nomosphere’ and ‘nomoscapes.’ Nomosphere refers to the cultural-material environs that are constituted by the reciprocal materialization of ‘the legal,’ and the legal signification of the ‘socio-spatial'. Nomoscapes are the spatio-legal expression and the socio-material realization of ideologies, values, pervasive power orders and social projects. They are extensive ensembles of legal spaces within and through which lives are lived and, here, these neologisms are related to the more familiar notions of governmentality and performativity. Second, these neologisms are explored and applied through a series of illustrations and extensive case studies. Demonstrating their utility for scholars and students in relevant disciplines, these ‘empirical’ studies concern: the public and the private; property and land tenure; governance; the domestic and the international; and legal-spatial confinements and containments. Third, these studies contribute to an ongoing theorization of the experiential, situated pragmatics of ‘world-making'. The role of nomospheric projects and counter-projects, techniques and operations is therefore emphasized. Much of what is experientially significant about how the world is as it is and what it’s like to be in the world directly implicates the dynamic interplay of space, law, meaning and power. The Spatial, the Legal and the Pragmatics of WorldMaking provides the interpretive resources necessary for discerning and understanding the practices and projects involved in this interplay.

Strategic Visions for Human Rights Edited by Geoff Gilbert, Francoise Hampson and Clara Sandoval, all of University of Essex, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57988-9; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Strategic Visions for Human Rights takes a multi-disciplinary approach to future directions for human rights. It looks beyond what international human rights treaties have so far established and considers the context in which rights in the twenty-first century might develop to meet needs. The book examines how international law might be utilized to protect groups rather than just individual members of the group and it also calls into question the liberal positivist approach to international law that provides the framework for human rights norms. The book is written and published in honour of Professor Kevin Boyle. It celebrates his long career in human rights law both as an academic and a practising barrister. Professor Boyle has taken numerous cases on human rights issues to UK Courts and to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and has long been involved in human rights aspects of the peace process in Northern Ireland. He has published widely on human rights issues, focusing on freedom of expression and religion and nondiscrimination. The contributors to this volume are well-known academics in the field of human rights and include Francesca Klug, Conor Gearty, David Beetham and Asbjorn Eide. Amongst some of the issues addressed in the book are the future of the European Court of Human Rights, the role of academics play in engendering transition to post-conflict democratic states, and human rights and religious pluralism.

Surveillance and Democracy Edited by Kevin D. Haggerty, University of Alberta, Canada and Minas Samatas, University of Crete, Greece PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00 £28.99 $55.95; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47239-5; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47240-1; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This collection represents the first sustained attempt to grapple with the complex and often paradoxical relationships between surveillance and democracy. Is surveillance a barrier to democratic processes, or might it be a necessary component of democracy? How has the legacy of post 9/11 surveillance developments shaped democratic processes? As surveillance measures are increasingly justified in terms of national security, is there the prospect that a shadow "security state" will emerge? How might new surveillance measures alter the conceptions of citizens and citizenship which are at the heart of democracy? How might new communication and surveillance systems extend (or limit) the prospects for meaningful public activism? Surveillance has become central to human organizational and epistemological endeavours and is a cornerstone of governmental practices in assorted institutional realms. This social transformation towards expanded, intensified and integrated surveillance has produced many consequences. It has also given rise to an increased anxiety about the implications of surveillance for democratic processes; thus raising a series of questions - about what surveillance means, and might mean, for civil liberties, political processes, public discourse, state coercion and public consent that the leading surveillance scholars gathered here address.

Some fifty years after the criminal prosecutions of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals of World War Two, we have yet to fully understand how law codifies the traumas of genocides and war crimes. This problem has taken on a new importance following the establishment of the international criminal tribunals in the 1990s, as well as an increasing concern with the appropriate legal resolution of war crimes in post-conflict societies such as Iraq. Against this background, Testifying to Trauma examines the processes by which victims’ narratives of trauma become legal testimony: investigating how the transformation of individual trauma into a codified collective violation has ramifications for individual, collective and legal identities. More specifically, this book addresses the historical and political contexts of the current legal codifications of trauma. And, through detailed attention to the various renderings of time and memory which underwrite the dissonance between personal experiences and legal narratives of trauma, its authors provide an original analysis and understanding of the technologies through which trauma is codified in international law.

Transcending the Boundaries of Law Edited by Martha Albertson Fineman, Emory University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00 £27.50 $53.95; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48138-0; PB: www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48140-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Transcending the Boundaries of Law brings together three generations of the most respected feminist legal theorists in order to assess the past, the present and the future of feminist legal thought in the Law and Society tradition. It follows the publication - based on a series of workshops at the University of Wisconsin in 1984 - of the very first anthology in feminist legal theory, At the Boundaries of Law (Routledge, 1991). Bringing together some of the original contributors to that volume, as well as the newest generation of critical gender scholars, this anthology not only provides a "retrospective" on over 25 years of theoretical engagement and evolution in regard to gender and law scholarship; it also charts a course for its future. The anthology is organized according to a three-generation schema. First is the transitional generation of feminist legal scholars: those who moved us from women-in-law to feminist legal theory. Second, is the work of the students who followed in their wake. Their path was "easier", in that they had both feminist material and mentors to facilitate their scholarly projects, and they raised important intersectional ideas and concepts that complicated the very concept of gender. The third section contains new theories and theorists, sometimes challenging the "traditional" feminist model with more critical perspectives on gender theory and addressing the tensions that have emerged between queer and feminist theories, as well as the increasingly obvious inadequacies of identity-based analyses. Transcending the Boundaries of Law is a ground-breaking collection that will be central to the further development of feminism and related critical theories.
Uncertainty in International Law Jörg Kammerhofer, Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57784-7; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Re-engaging with the Pure Theory of Law developed by Hans Kelsen and the other members of the Viennese School of Jurisprudence, this book looks at the causes and manifestations of uncertainty in international law. It considers both epistemological uncertainty as to whether we can accurately perceive norms in international law, and ontological problems which occur inter alia where two or more norms conflict. The book looks at these issues of uncertainty in relation to the foundational doctrines of public international law, including the law of self-defence under the United Nations Charter, customary international law, and the interpretation of treaties. In viewing international law through the lens of Kelsen’s theory Jörg Kammerhofer demonstrates the importance of the theoretical

The unique aspect of the monograph is that it is the only book to apply the Pure Theory of Law as theoretical approach to international law, rather than simply being a piece of intellectual history describing it. This book will of great interest to students and scholars of public international law, legal theory and jurisprudence. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Self-defence under the United Nations Charter 3.

Understanding the Islamic Veiling Controversy Anastasia Vakulenko, University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56550-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Understanding the Islamic Veiling Controversy provides a sophisticated analysis of relevant legislation and case law in order to examine the assumptions and limits of the debates surrounding the issue of Islamic veiling. For some, Islamic veiling indicates a lack of autonomy, the oppression of women and the threat of Islamic radicalism to western secular values; for others, it suggests a positive autonomous choice and a legitimate exercise of one’s freedom of religion - a much treasured right in democratic societies. Across seemingly diverse legal and political traditions, however, a set of discursive frameworks - the preoccupation with autonomy and choice; the imperative of gender equality; and a particular secular understanding of religion and religious subjectivity - shape the positions of both proponents and opponents of various restrictions on Islamic veiling. Rather than take a position on one or the other side of the debate, this book explores and challenges these frameworks. And, in so doing, it brings a consistent and sophisticated theoretical outlook to a comprehensive consideration of Islamic veiling controversies, as they have arisen around the world. CONTENTS Chapter I: Islamic veiling in focus; Chapter II: Islamic veiling: Legal developments; Chapter III: Autonomy and choice; Chapter IV: Gender equality; Chapter V: Religion and secularism

228 Women, Judging and the Judiciary explores continuing debates about gender representation in the judiciary and, more specifically, the importance of judicial diversity, in order to provide a fresh look at the role of the (woman) judge and the process of judging. There has been considerable debate and policy development in recent years around the issue of judicial diversity and, in particular, the need to appoint more women to the judiciary. Nevertheless, progress to date has been painfully slow, and the number of women judges, especially at senior levels, remains minuscule. This book builds on prevalent concerns with increasing judicial diversity, with enhancing the position of various underrepresented groups within the judiciary, and with constitutional reform more generally, to provide a new analysis of the assumptions which underpin, and constrain, current debates about how to achieve these aims. Providing the first critical theoretical engagement with the concepts of ‘diversity’ and ‘difference’ in the context of adjudication, Erika Rackley considers the extent to which prevailing images of the judge are enmeshed in notions of sameness and uniformity: images which are so familiar and two-dimensional that their grip on our imaginative and cognitive processes are routinely overlooked. Failing to confront such instinctive images of the judge and of judging, our understandings and interpretations are as much derived from such preconceptions as they are from what is conventionally considered to be rational thought. And, whilst deploying literary examples and techniques as a means of identifying and disrupting the hold that particular images and narratives of the judge and judging have on us, Women, Judges and the Judiciary not only explains why attempts at judicial inclusiveness and difference fail, it also pursues a deeper understanding of what judicial diversity might mean.

Heroism and the Supernatural in the African Epic African Studies
Mariam Konaté Deme, Western Michigan University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 172pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87492-2; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84620-9; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There exists a strong tendency within Western literary criticism to either deny the existence of epics in Africa or to see African literatures as exotic copies of European originals. In both cases, Western criticism has largely failed to acknowledge the distinctiveness of African literary aesthetics. This book revises traditional literary canons in examining the social, cultural and emotional specificity of African epics. Mariam Konate Deme highlights the distinguishing features that characterize the African epic, emphasizing the significance of the fantastic and its use as an essential element in the dramatic structure of African epics. As Deme notes, the fantastic can be fully appreciated only against the cosmological background of the societies that produce those heroic tales. This book not only contributes to the scholarship on African oral literature, but also adds reshapes our understanding of heroic literature in general. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. The Role and Function of the Supernatural 3. The Supernatural in African Epics 4. The Hero’s Use of Supernatural Devices 5. The Hero’s Excesses 6. Women as the Bearers of Supernatural Powers in the African Epic 7. Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations for Further Study
The Children's Book Business Children's Literature and Culture
Lissa Paul, Brock University, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-93789-4; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Children's Book Business is an exploration of how children's literature and children's literature publishing has been shaped by the relationship between what the author calls "status quo" books - didactic ones that support a perceived social order and often deny truths of the real, adult world - and what she calls "guerilla" books - those that undermine or question the values of the social order and actually encourage negotiation with the real world, albeit in a coded, literary way. The book explains how testing, which is more pervasive than ever, champions basic skills over appreciation of literary merit, and creates a great demand for suitably neutral (bland, inoffensive) texts that are anything but worthwhile in terms of the kind of intellectual and emotional pleasure that provides the motivation for being literate.
Humor in Contemporary Junior Literature Children's Literature and Culture
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
229 Julie Cross, Roehampton University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88267-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this new book, Julie Cross examines the intricacies of textual humor in contemporary junior literature, using the tools of literary criticism and humor theory. Cross investigates the dialectical paradoxes of humor and debunks the common belief in oppositional binaries of ‘simple’ versus ‘complex’ humor. The varied combinations of so-called high and low forms of humor within junior texts for young readers, who are at such a crucial stage of their reading and social development, provide a valuable commentary upon the culture and values of contemporary western society, making the book of considerable interest to scholars of both children’s literature and childhood studies. Cross explores the ways in which the changing content, forms and functions of the many varied combinations of humor in junior texts, including the Lemony Snickett series, reveal societal attitudes towards young children and childhood. The new compounds of seemingly paradoxical high and low forms of humor, in texts for developing readers from the 1960s onwards, reflect and contribute to contemporary society’s hesitant and uneven acceptance of the emergent paradigm of children’s rights, abilities, participation and empowerment. Cross identifies four types of potentially subversive/transgressive humor which have emerged since the 1960s which, coupled with the three main theories of humor – relief, superiority and incongruity theories – enables a long-overdue charting of developments in humor within junior texts. Cross also argues that the gradual increase in the compounding of the simple and the complex provide opportunities for young readers to play with ambiguous, complicated ideas, helping them embrace the complexities and contradictions of contemporary life.

Irish Children's Literature and Culture Children's Literature and Culture
Edited by Keith O'Sullivan and Valerie Coghlan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87789-3; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION What constitutes a ‘national literature’ is rarely straightforward, and it is especially complex when discussing writing for young people in an Irish context. Until recently, there was only a slight body of work that could be classified as ‘Irish children’s literature’ (whatever the parameters) in comparison with Ireland’s contribution to adult literature in the twentieth century. This volume looks critically at Irish writing for children from the 1980s to the present, examining the work of many writers and illustrators and engaging with all the major forms and genres. Topics include the gothic, the speculative, picturebooks, poetry, post-colonial discourse, identity and ethnicity, and globalization. Modern Irish children’s literature is also contextualized in relation to Irish mythology and earlier writings, thereby demonstrating the complexity of this fascinating area. The contributors, who are leading experts in their fields, examine a range of texts in relation to contemporary literary and cultural theory, and also in relation to writing for adults, thereby inviting a consideration of how well writing for a young audience can compare with writing for an adult one. This groundbreaking work is essential reading for all interested in Irish literature, childhood, and children’s literature. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Contributors take interdisciplinary approaches that integrate different disciplines such as literary studies, art history, linguistics, narratology, cognitive psychology, sociology, memory studies, and picture theory. Topics discussed include intervisuality, twist endings, autobiographical narration, and metaliterary awareness in picturebooks. The essays also examine the narrative challenges of first-person narratives, ellipsis, and frame-breaking in order to consider the importance of mindscape as a new paradigm in picturebook research. Tying picturebook studies to studies in childhood, multimodality, and literacy, this anthology is a representative of the different opportunities for research in this emerging field.

Meanwhile, since the 1960s and the popularization of scientific research on these animals, children’s books have begun to feature more nuanced views. In Picturing the Wolf in Children’s Literature, Mitts-Smith analyzes visual images of the wolf in children’s books published in Western Europe and North America from 1500 to the present. In particular, she considers how wolves are depicted in and across particular works, the values and attitudes that inform these depictions, and how the concept of the wolf has changed over time. What she discovers is that illustrations and photos in works for children impart social, cultural, and scientific information not only about wolves, but also about humans and human behavior. First encountered in childhood, picture books act as a training ground where the young learn both how to decode the “symbolic” wolf across various contexts and how to make sense of “real” wolves. Mitts-Smith studies sources including myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales, fractured tales, fictional stories, and nonfiction, highlighting those instances in which images play a major role, including illustrated anthologies, chapbooks, picture books, and informational books. This book will be of interest to children’s literature scholars, as well as those interested in the figure of the wolf and how it has been informed over time.

In spite of its cool reception by teachers and librarians, the series developed a large fan base of young readers whose purchasing power pushed one volume of the series to a position on the New York Times list of best selling paperback fiction--a first for a young adult novel. 'Sweet Valley High'’s association with a contested form of youth literature—series fiction—and its relationship to the romance genre and popular reading practices has kept the series from critical consideration; however, the success and subsequent ubiquity of 'Sweet Valley High' and Pascal’s literary domain deserves attention. An examination of the series’ content, structure, and readers allows us to investigate an influential marketing and literary phenomenon and to interrogate the intersecting influences of history, audience positioning and readability that allowed 'Sweet Valley' to flourish and that contribute to the successes of subsequent series for girls.

The Role of Translators in Children’s Literature Children's Literature and Culture
Gillian Lathey, Roehampton University London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 271pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-98952-7; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book offers a historical analysis of key classical translated works for children, such as writings by Hans Christian Andersen and Grimms’ tales. Translations dominate the earliest history of texts written for children in English, and stories translated from other languages have continued to shape its course to the present day. Lathey traces the role of the translator and the impact of translations on the history of English-language children’s literature from the ninth century onwards. Discussions of popular texts in each era reveal fluctuations in the reception of translated children’s texts, as well as instances of cultural mediation by translators and editors. Abridgement, adaptation, and alteration by translators have often been viewed in a negative light, yet a closer examination of historical translators’ prefaces reveals a far more varied picture than that of faceless conduits or wilful censors. From William Caxton’s dedication of his translated History of Jason to young Prince Edward in 1477 (‘to thentent/he may begynne to lerne read Englissh’), to Edgar Taylor’s justification of the first translation into English of Grimms’ tales as a means of promoting children’s imaginations in an age of reason, translators have recorded in prefaces and other writings their didactic, religious, aesthetic, financial, and even political purposes for translating children’s texts.

Specifically, Lee analyses three recent literary branches in the tradition: a re-envisioning of the whole Beat web or circuit; a consortium of postwar "outrider" voices – Hunter Thompson to Joan Didion to Kathy Acker; and a latest purview of what, all too casually, has been designated "ethnic" writing.

Black Atlantic Speculative Fictions Routledge Research in Atlantic Studies
Ingrid Thaler, University of Göttingen, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 194pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80441-7; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980s, an increasing number of black writers have begun publishing speculative-fantastic fictions such as fantasy, gothic, utopian and science fiction. Writing into two literary traditions that are conventionally considered separate -- white speculative genres and black literary-cultural traditions -- the texts integrate an African American sensibility of the past within the present, with speculative fiction’s sensibility of the present within the future. Thaler takes stock of this trend by proposing that the growing number of texts has brought forth a genre of its own. She analyzes recent fictions by Octavia E. Butler, Jewelle Gomez, and Nalo Hopkinson as in-between color-coded literary and cultural traditions by paying particular attention to concepts of literary history and time as well as postcolonial notions of hybridity and mimicry, race, and identity. The study treads on new ground since it not only offers a broader scope of the various speculative genres in which established and emerging black authors currently publish, but also shows that these fictions contest conventionally accepted notions of white genres and black traditions and, in consequence, of (post-)postmodern literature and popular fiction.

Generating the Hybrid City Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures
Isabel Carrera Suárez, Oviedo University, Spain PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47814-4; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is a study of the representation of the global, postcolonial, hybrid city by women writers in English. Focusing specifically on London, Toronto and Singapore as examples of different positions in the postcolonial process, Suarez grounds her discussion on theories of the global city, urban representation and postcolonial, diaspora and gender theories. The study includes close analysis of works by writers such as Jackie Kay and Andrea Levy (UK), Janice Kulyk Keefer and Dionne Brand (Canada) and Hsu-Ming Teo and Simone Lazaroo (Singapore-Australia route), to examine how they share a representation of women as active agents in generating the hybrid city, although often at the cost of exclusion. Examining the literature of these popular writers alongside the gendering of theories on ethnicity, diaspora, post/colonialism and multiculturalism this book is an exciting and timely intervention in postcolonial studies and its relation to gender and the city.
Postapartheid Literature Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
233 Sam Durrant, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99629-7; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the ways in which postapartheid literature reinvents South African mourning traditions. During the apartheid era, politics exerted a particular pressure on both funerary practices and on literature, both of which were instrumentalised as weapons in the struggle: just as funerals were turned into mass political protests, literature was pressed into service as protest literature. In the postapartheid era, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (1996-99) continued to press mourning into political service, particularly through the Human Rights Violations hearings in which private losses were mourned in public and immediately subsumed within a national narrative of forgiveness and reconciliation. Despite calls for the recovery of artistic freedom and literary autonomy, literature has also been subject to political pressure; writers have been expected to follow the TRC’s lead and produce a literature of national reconciliation. While a literature of reconciliation might appear to allow for more imaginative possibilities than protest literature, it is still driven by a particular politics of memory. Durrant explores the ways in which postapartheid literature has acceded to and/or resisted this politics of memory and asks what literary resistance might mean in a postapartheid context. Is it the task of literature to produce a counter-politics of memory, or is it rather to resist the demands of the political per se, to refuse to be instrumentalised in any cause?

Varma offers a reading of both historical and contemporary debates on urbanism through the filter of postcolonial fictions and the cultural fields surrounding and containing them. In particular, she presents a representational history of London, Nairobi and Bombay in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and engages three key theoretical frameworks—the city within postcolonial theory and culture (its troubled salience in the construction of postcolonial public spheres and identities, from local, rural, ethnic/"tribal", and regional to "national", cosmopolitan and transnational subjects and spaces); postcolonial fictions as constituting a new world literary space and as a site of the articulation of contending narratives of urban space, global culture and postcolonial development; and postcolonial feminist citizenship as a universal political project challenging current neo-liberal and post neo-liberal contractions and eviscerations of public spaces and rights.

Specifically, The Postcolonial Gramsci endeavors to reassess the impact on postcolonial studies of the central role assigned by Gramsci to culture and literature in the formation of a truly revolutionary idea of the national—a notion that has profoundly shaped the thinking of both Frantz Fanon and Edward Said. Gramsci, as Iain Chambers has argued, has been instrumental in helping scholars rethink their understanding of historical, political, and cultural struggle by substituting the relationship between tradition and modernity with that of subaltern versus

Postcolonial Tourism Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures

Looking at the cultural and ecological effects of mass tourism development in states that are still grappling with the legacies of 'western' colonialism, Carrigan argues that postcolonial writers not only dramatize the industry's most exploitative operations but also provide blueprints toward sustainable tourism futures. Locating this argument in the context of interdisciplinary tourism research, the study shows how the work of creative writers can help revise some of the field's key theoretical concepts and contentions. It also provides a framework for analyzing how an industry that is subject to constant media attention and involves a huge proportion of the global population shapes the cultural, social, and environmental milieux of postcolonial literary texts.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
235 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This project examines the representation of "mixed race" female identities in colonial and postcolonial societies, from the eighteenth century to the present. Concentrating particularly on the relationship between Jamaica and England, Salih challenges contemporary theorizations of hybridity, métissage and créolité in a series of historicized, localized readings, arguing that in order to understand contemporary attitudes towards mixed race women, it is necessary to examine specific historical contexts and to trace the genealogy of racial and racist discourses. She examines the figure of the "brown woman" as an object of both desire and horror and as a crucial component of the construction, representation and affirmation of whiteness, and traces the commodification of brownness from the mid-nineteenth-century and the continuing use of images of brown women to sell products. This study demonstrates the striking connections between historical and contemporary discourses of race and brownness and argues for a shift in the ways we think about, represent and discuss "mixed race" people.

Page's historical, socio-cultural study responds to the general trend in migration discourse that presents the Caribbean experience as unidirectional and uniform across the geographical spaces of home and diaspora. She argues that engaging the Caribbean diaspora and the massive waves of migration from the region that have punctuated its history, involves not only understanding communities in host countries and the conflicted identities of second generation subjectivities, but also interpreting how these communities interrelate with and affect communities at home. In particular, Page examines two socio-economic and political practices, remittance and deportation, exploring how they function as tropes in migrant literature, and as ways of theorizing such literature.

Travel Writing and Atrocities Routledge Research in Travel Writing
Robert Burroughs, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 257pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99238-1; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines eyewitness travel reports of atrocities committed in European-funded slave regimes in the Congo Free State, Portuguese West Africa, and the Putumayo district of the Amazon rainforest during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. During this time, British explorers, missionaries, consuls, journalists, soldiers, and traders produced evidence of misrule in the Congo, Angola, and the Putumayo, which they described their travel and witnessing of colonial violence in travelogues, ethnographic monographs, consular reports, diaries and letters, sketches, photography, and more. As well as bringing home to readers ongoing brutalities, eyewitness narratives contributed to debates on humanitarianism, trade, colonialism, and race and racial prejudice in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. In particular, whereas earlier antislavery travelers had tended to promote British imperial expansion as a remedy to slavery, travel texts produced for the three major humanitarian campaigns of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century expressed — and, indeed, gave rise to — changes in the perception of Britain as a nation for whom the protection of Africans remained paramount. Burroughs's study charts the emergence of a subversive eyewitness response in travel writing, which implicated Britons and British industries in the continuing existence of slave labor in regions formally ruled by other nations.

Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, literary studies and modern languages, the contributors in this volume apply themselves to a number of key theoretical questions pertaining to travel writing and ethics, ranging from travel-as-commoditisation to encounters with minority languages under threat. Taken collectively, the essays assess key critical legacies from parallel disciplines to the debate so far, such as anthropological theory and postcolonial criticism. Also considered, and of equal significance, are the ethical implications of the form’s parallel genres of writing, such as ethnography and journalism. As some of the contributors argue, innovations in these genres have important implications for the act of theorising travel writing itself and the mode and spirit in which it continues to be conducted. In the light of such innovations, how might ethical theory maintain its critical edge? CONTENTS Part One. Genre-blending, genre-bending; 1. The Ethics of Travel Criticism – Tim Youngs; 2.

Cyberpunk is no longer an emergent phenomenon, but in our digital age of CGI-driven entertainment, the information economy, and globalized capital, we have never more been in need of a fiction capable of engaging with a world shaped by information technology. Contributors seek to move beyond the narrow strictures of cyberpunk as defined in the Eighties and contribute to an ongoing discussion of how to negotiate exchanges among information technologies, global capitalism, and human social existence. Essays offer a variety of perspectives on cyberpunk’s diversity and how this sub-genre remains relevant amidst its transformation from a print fiction genre into a more generalized set of cultural practices, tackling the question of what it is that cyberpunk narratives continue to offer us in those intersections of literary, cultural, theoretical, academic, and technocultural environments.

Criticism, Crisis, and Contemporary Narrative Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature
Edited by Paul Crosthwaite, Cardiff University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87949-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The etymological affinity between ‘criticism’ and ‘crisis’ has never been more resonant than it is today, when social life is increasingly understood as defined by a succession of overlapping global crises: financial and economic crises; environmental crises; geopolitical crises; terrorist crises; public health crises. But what is the role of literary and cultural criticism in conceptualizing this atmosphere of perpetual crisis? If, as Paul de Man maintained, criticism necessarily exists in a state of crisis, in what ways is this condition intensified at a time when the social formations within which criticism operates and the cultural artefacts that it takes as its objects are themselves pervaded by actual and imagined states of emergency? This book, the first sustained response to these questions, demonstrates the capacity of critical thought, working in dialogue with key narrative texts, to provide penetrating insights into a contemporary landscape of global, manufactured risk. Written by an international team of specialist scholars, the essays in the collection draw on a wide variety of contemporary theoretical, fictional, and cinematic sources, ranging from Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, and Fredric Jameson to Cormac McCarthy, Ian McEwan, and Lauren Beukes to Ghost and the James Bond and National Treasure series. Appearing in the midst of a phase of extraordinary turbulence in the fabric of our interconnected and interdependent world, the book makes a landmark intervention in debates concerning the cultural ramifications of globalization.

This book engages with visual and multimodal devices in twenty-first century literature, exploring canonical authors like Mark Z. Danielewski and Jonathan Safran Foer alongside experimental fringe writers such as Steve Tomasula, to uncover an embodied textual aesthetics in the information age. Bringing together multimodality and cognition in an innovative study of how readers engage with challenging literature, this book makes a significant contribution to the debates surrounding multimodal design and multimodal reading. Drawing on cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, semiotics, visual perception, visual communication, and multimodal analysis, Gibbons provides a sophisticated set of critical tools for analysing the cognitive impact of multimodal literature.

Ecocriticism and Early Modern English Literature Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture
Todd Andrew Borlik, Bloomsburg University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $105.00; 229x152 mm; 228pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87861-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Borlik reveals the surprisingly rich potential for the emergent "green" criticism to yield fresh insights into early modern English literature in this timely new study. Deftly avoiding the anachronistic casting of sixteenth and seventeenth-century authors as modern environmentalists, he argues that environmental issues, such as nature's personhood, deforestation, energy use, air quality, climate change, and animal sentience, are formative concerns in many early modern texts. The readings infuse a new urgency in familiar works by Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser, Marlowe, Ralegh, Jonson, Donne, and Milton. At the same time, the book forecasts how ecocriticism will bolster the reputation of less canonical authors like Drayton, Wroth, Bruno, Gascoigne, and Cavendish. Its chapters trace provocative affinities between topics such as Pythagorean ecology and the Gaia hypothesis, Ovidian tropes and green phenomenology, the disenchantment of Nature and the Little Ice Age, and early modern pastoral poetry and modern environmental ethics. It also examines the ecological onus of Renaissance poetics, while showcasing how the Elizabethans' sense of a sophisticated inter-play between nature and art can provide a precedent for ecocriticism's current understanding of the relationship between nature and culture as "mutually constructive." Situating plays and poems alongside an eclectic array of secondary sources, including herbals, forestry laws, husbandry manuals, almanacs, and philosophical treatises on politics and ethics, Borlik demonstrates that Elizabethan and Jacobean authors were very much aware of, and concerned about, the impact of human beings on their natural surroundings.

The sibyls — figures from classical antiquity — played important roles in literature, scholarship and art of the period, exerting a powerful authority due to their centuries-old connection to prophetic declamations of the coming of Christ and the Apocalypse. The identity of the sibyls, however, was not limited to this particular aspect of their fame, but contained a fluid multilayering of meanings given their prominence in ancient Greek and Roman cultures, as well as the widespread dissemination of prophecies attributed the sibyls that circulated through the oral tradition. Sibylline prophecy of the Middle Ages served as another conduit through which sibylline authority, fame, and familiarity was transmitted and enhanced. Writers as disparate as John Foxe, John Dee, Thomas Churchyard, John Fletcher, Thomas Heywood, Jane Seager, John Lyly, An Collins, William Shakespeare, and many draw upon this shared sibylline tradition to produce particular and specific meanings in their writing. This book explores the many identities, the many faces, of the prophetic sibyls as they appear in the works of English Renaissance writers.

Representing the Plague in Early Modern England Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

239 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This collection offers readers a timely encounter with the historical experience of people adapting to a pandemic emergency and the corresponding narrative representation of that crisis, as early modern writers transformed the plague into literature. The essays examine the impact of the plague on health, politics, and religion as well as on the plays, prose fiction, and plague bills that stand as witnesses to the experience of a society devastated by contagious disease. Readers will find physicians and moralists wrestling with the mysteries of the disease; erotic escapades staged in plague-time plays; the poignant prose works of William Bullein and Thomas Dekker; the bodies of monarchs who sought to protect themselves from plague; the chameleon-like nature of the plague as literal disease and as metaphor; and future strains of plague, literary and otherwise, which we may face in the globally-minded, technologydependent, and ecologically-awakened twenty-first century. The bubonic plague compelled change in all aspects of lived experience in Early Modern England, but at the same time, it opened space for writers to explore new ideas and new literary forms—not all of them somber or horrifying and some of them downright hilarious. By representing the plague for their audiences, these writers made an epidemic calamity intelligible: for them, the dreaded disease could signify despair but also hope, bewilderment but also a divine plan, quarantine but also liberty, death but also new life.

Shakespeare, Jonson, and the Claims of the Performative Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture
James Loxley, University of Edinburgh, UK and Mark Robson, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99327-2; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book will constitute an original intervention into longstanding but insistently relevant debates around the significance of notions of ‘performativity’ to the critical analysis of early modern drama. In particular, the book aims to: show how the investigation of performativity can enable readings of Shakespeare and Jonson that challenge the dominant methodological frameworks within which those plays have come to be read; demonstrate that the thought of performativity does not come to rest in the simplicity of method or instrumentality, and that it resists its own claim that language and action might be understood as unproblematically instrumental; demonstrate that this self-resistance occurs or takes place as a moment in the process of articulating the claims of the performative, and that this process is itself in an important sense dramatic. CONTENTS Introduction: the continuing claims of the performative; Part 1: Performativity, History, Criticism; 1. Words of the future: promises; 2. Recovering the past: libels; Part 2: At the limits of the performative; 3. Being obnoxious: Jonson makes his excuses; 4.

Language, Ideology and Identity in Serial Killer Narratives Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Stylistics
Christiana Gregoriou, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87229-4; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this book, Gregoriou explores the portrayal of the serial killer identity and its related ideology across a range of contemporary crime narratives, including detective fiction, the true crime genre and media journalism. How exactly is the serial killer consciousness portrayed, how is the killing linguistically justified, and how distinguishing is the language revolving around criminal ideology and identity across these narrative genres? By employing linguistic and content-related methods of analysis, her study aims to work toward the development of a stylistic framework on the representation of serial killer ideology across factual (i.e. media texts), factional (i.e.
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
240 true crime books) and fictional (i.e. novels) murder narratives. By analyzing serial murder narratives across various genres, Gregoriou uncovers a widely shared ‘group schema’ for these murderers, and questions the extent to which real criminal minds are in fact linguistically fictionalized. This study of the mental functioning and representation of criminal personas will illuminate our schematic understanding of actual criminal minds. CONTENTS 1.

Literary Reading, Cognition, and Emotion Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Stylistics
Michael Burke, Roosevelt Academy, the Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 304pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87232-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This work seeks to chart what happens in the embodied minds of engaged readers when they read literature. Despite the recent stylistic, linguistic and cognitive advances that have been made in text processing methodology and practice, very little is known about this cultural-cognitive process and especially about the role that emotion plays. Burk’s theoretical and empirical study focuses on three central issues: the role emotions play in a core cognitive event like literary text processing; the kinds of bottom-up and topdown inputs most prominently involved in the literary reading process; and what might be happening in the minds and bodies of engaged readers when they experience intense or heightened emotions: a phenomenon sometimes labeled ‘reader epiphany.’ This study postulates that there is a free-flow of bottom-up and top-down affective, cognitive inputs during the engaged act of literary reading, and that reading does not necessarily begin or end when our eyes apprehend the words on the page. Burke argues that the literary reading human mind might best be considered both figuratively and literally, not as computational or mechanical, but as oceanic. CONTENTS Introduction I.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
241 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this book, Stone effects a return to gender, after many years of neglect by Twenty-First-Century critics, via a methodology of close reading that foregrounds moments of sexual decentering and disequilibrium within the text and in the interstices of the dialogue between Shakespeare and his critics. Issues addressed range from the cross dressing of Viola and Imogen to the cross gartering of Malvolio, the sound of "un" and the uncanny lyric narcissism of Richard II, Hamlet’s misogyny, androgyny, and the poison of marital/political "union," Othello’s fears of impotence, rumors of Antony’s emasculation versus the militant yet nurturing triumphalism of Cleopatra’s suicide, and Posthumus’s hysterical reaction to the "woman’s part" in himself and his compensatory fantasies of parthenogenesis. Stone unpacks ideologically powerful but unsustainable male claims to self-identity and sameness, set over against man’s type-gendering of women as the origin of divisive sexual difference, discord, and the dissolution of marriage. Men who blame women for the difference that divides and weakens their sense of unity and sameness to oneself are unconscious that the uncanny feminine is not outside the masculine, its reassuring canny opposite; it is inside the masculine, its uncanny difference from itself.

Shakespeare and Trauma Routledge Studies in Shakespeare
Catherine Silverstone, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 144pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95645-1; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this original study, Silverstone explores the relationship between performances of Shakespeare’s plays and the ways in which they engage with various traumatic events and histories. In considering this relationship, she asks how performance might articulate traumatic events and investigates the ethical and political implications of attempts to represent trauma in performance. In exploring these issues, Silverstone interrogates a range of narratives about Shakespeare, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, colonisation and violence.
Aesthetic Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Women's Food Writing Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
Alice McLean, Sweet Briar College, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87138-9; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this study, McLean explores the aesthetic pleasures of eating and writing in the lives of three of the most eloquent food writers of the twentieth-century: M.F.K. Fisher (1908-1992), Alice B. Toklas (1877-1967), and Elizabeth David (1913-1992). Growing up during a time when women's food writing was largely limited to the domestic cookbook, which delineated a track hedged by duty, domesticity, and self-sacrifice, Fisher, Toklas, and David each pioneered an idiosyncratic form of writing that challenged such rigidly gendered and proscriptive bounds. They did so by writing about food as a source of sensual pleasure, both aesthetic and erotic. For these women, food encouraged a sensory engagement with their environment and a physical receptivity toward pleasure that engendered their creative aesthetic. Articulating a language through which female appetite is not only celebrated but also artfully and publicly sated, Fisher, Toklas, and David expanded women’s food writing beyond the domestic realm to establish a tradition of British and American culinary literature that celebrates female appetite for pleasure and for culinary adventure. In so doing, they illuminate the power of genre-bending food writing to transgress and reconfigure conventional gender ideologies.

242 The diary is a genre that is often thought of as virtually formless, a "capacious hold-all" for the writer’s thoughts, and as offering unmediated access to the diarist’s true self. Focusing on the diaries of Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Antonia White, Joe Orton, John Cheever, and Sylvia Plath, this book looks at how six very different professional writers have approached the diary form with its particular demands and literary potential. As a sequence of separate entries the diary is made up of both gaps and continuities, and the different ways diarists negotiate these aspects of the diary form has radical effects on how their diaries represent both the world and the biographical self. The different published editions of the diaries by Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath show how editorial decisions can construct sometimes startlingly different biographical portraits. Yet all diaries are constructed, and all diary constructions depend on how the writer works with the diary form.

Gender, Ireland and Cultural Change Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
Gerardine Meaney, University College Dublin, Ireland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 289pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95790-8; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book analyzes the roots of Irish social and sexual conservatism and the dramatic change in one of the most basic areas of human experience: how we understand our roles as men and women. It looks at the relationship between sexual and cultural dissent and the long, slow role of culture in generating change. Meaney offers the first major study that sets the relationship between national and gender identities in the context of analysis of Irish identity as white identity, tracing the identification of female sexuality with foreign threat in nationalist discourse and its consequences in contemporary representations of immigrant women and their children. The study presents an extended analysis of the relationship between feminism and nationalism, and between gender and modernism. Analyzing the role of Joyce in contemporary culture and Yeats and Synge in the understanding of tradition, it also sets their work in the context of their less known female contemporaries and challenges conventional understandings of the Irish literary tradition. The book concludes with an analysis of the relationship between race and masculinity in Irish characters in US and British culture, from Patriot Games to Rescue Me and The Wire, The Romans in Britain to M.I.5 CONTENTS Introduction Part I: Race, Women and Nation Chapter One: Virgin Mother Ireland Chapter Two: Landscapes of Desire: Women and Ireland in Twentieth Century Film Chapter Three: Feminisms, Nationalisms and Identities: Gender and Dissent Part II: Writing, Bodies, Canons Chapter Four: Modernism and the Gender of Writing Chapter Five: Haunting James Joyce: Invisible Bodies Chapter Six: The Sons of Cuchulainn: Violence, the Family, and the Irish Canon Part III: Race, Masculinity and Popular Culture Chapter Seven: The Devil’s Own Patriot Games: The Troubles and the Hollywood Action Movie Chapter Eight: Masculinity and Ethnicity: The Wire and Rescue Me Chapter Nine: The Undercover Irishman: Extimating National Anxiety Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index
Italo Calvino's Architecture of Lightness Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature
Letizia Modena, Villanova University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88038-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This study recovers Italo Calvino's central place in a lost history of interdisciplinary thought, politics, and literary philosophy in the 1960s. Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works--primarily urban planning and design theory and history--circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities . Passages from Calvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, reducing the novel to vague abstractions and totalizing wisdom about thinking outside the box. The shadow of postmodern studies has had a similarly diminishing effect on this text, rendering up an accomplished but ultimately apolitical novelistic experimentation in endless deconstructive deferrals, the shiny surfaces of play, and the ultimately rigged game of self-referentiality. In contrast, this study draws on an archive of untranslated Italian- and French-language materials on urban planning, architecture, and utopian architecture to argue that Calvino's novel in fact introduces readers to the material history of urban renewal in Italy, France, and the U.S. in the 1960s, as well as the multidisciplinary core of cultural life in that decade: the complex and continuous interplay among novelists and architects, scientists and artists, literary historians and visual studies scholars. His last love poem for the dying city was in fact profoundly engaged, deeply committed to the ethical dimensions of both architecture

Jewishness and Masculinity from the Modern to the Postmodern Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature

Davison, Oregon State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $105.00; 229x152 mm; 315pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87586-8; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This study examines the impact of racial, gender, and religious constructs of Jewish masculinity on a select group of male writers including George Du Maurier, Theodor Herzl, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Philip Roth during the Modernist and Postmodern eras. In reading the work of these authors, Davison demonstrates how religious-based prejudices as well as doctrinal Judaic concepts were sustained in the discourse of race and gender surrounding "the Jew." The project engages a dynamic composed of the historically constitutive Jewish racial portrait, the psychosexual impact of that racial theory as internalized by Jewish males, and differing or conflicting discussions of Judaic-based gender and codes of male behavior. By focusing alternately on non-Jewish and Jewish writers, Davison explores how the racial/gender construct of "the feminized Jew" was pivotal to each in negotiating maleselfhood during his encounter with modernity. The study engages these issues during the Dreyfus era, within early Zionism, and in post-war High Modernism. In a final chapter on Roth, Davison explores how the author’s postmodernism remains tethered to Jewish history, liberalism, gender, and Judaic concepts.

In this volume some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space, as it is evoked through Joyce’s writing. With essays addressing all of Joyce's major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as the relationship between space, language, and literature.

Fewer people think of him as a science fiction writer who engages with issues such as virtual reality devices, the cloning of human beings, posthuman subjectivity and cyborg bodies: that is, human subjects whose bodies and consciousnesses are aligned with and augmented by non-organic components, dissolving the boundaries between the biological and the technological. This book explores precisely these issues. Ross analyses Levi’s representations of, and reflections on, human experience, with a focus on an aspect of his work that has hitherto received little sustained critical attention; his representations of the human body, and embodiment. Offering a reading of some of Levi’s lessdiscussed works (including essays, newspaper columns and his ‘science fiction’ stories), Ross elucidates Levi’s concept of the human as the creator of containers alongside his representations of our embodied and intellectual selves, bringing his work into new dialogue with critical and theoretical reflections on human existence.

E. B. Du Bois and from Virginia Woolf to Jean Rhys, Peat discusses how fictional travellers negotiate and adapt various tropes of travel (such as quest, expatriation, displacement, and exile) as models for their own journeys. Specifically, Peat considers the ethical dimensions of modernist travel from two distinct vantages. The first focuses on the relationship between the secular and the sacred in modernist travel literature, arguing that the recurrent narrative of secular travel is haunted by a desire for spiritual transcendence. The second posits modernist travel fiction as a potentially positive example of transcultural relations, consciously arguing against the received notion that travel during an imperial era is always by nature itself imperialist. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the transnational nature of modernism and the various global flows traced by modernist literature.

It goes beyond an analysis of negative Irish stereotypes and shows how Irish

245 characters became the site of intense cultural debate regarding American identity, with some writers imagining Irishness to be the antithesis of Americanness, but others suggesting Irishness to be a path to Americanization. This study emphasizes the importance of considering how a sense of Irishness was imagined by both Irish-American writers conscious of the process of self-definition as well as non-Irish writers responsive to shifting cultural concerns regarding ethnic others. It analyzes specific iconic Irish-American characters including Mark Twain’s Huck Finn and Margaret Mitchell’s Scarlet O’Hara, as well as lesser-known Irish monsters who lurked in the American imagination such as T.S. Eliot’s Sweeney and Frank Norris’ McTeague. As Dowd argues, in contemporary American society, Irishness has been largely absorbed into a homogenous white culture, and as a result, it has become a largely invisible ethnicity to many modern literary critics. Too often, they simply do not see Irishness or do not think it relevant, and as a result, many Irish-American characters have been de-ethnicized in the critical literature of the past century. This volume reestablishes the importance of Irish ethnicity to many characters that have come to be misread as generically white and shows how Irishness is integral to their stories.

Contemporary American fiction has featured soldiers, missionaries, tourists, heritage travelers, fugitives from the law, aid workers and aspiring philanthropists. What do these characters reveal about what it means to be American at the beginning of the twenty-first century? And what do these novels tell us about the place of America in the world, and about the nature of American literature itself? These are some of the broader themes and questions that this study explores. CONTENTS Introduction Part I: Africa and the Limits of Fiction 1.

246 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This collection analyzes how narrative technique developed from the late Middle Ages to the beginning of the 18th century. Taking Chaucer’s influential Middle English works as the starting point, the original essays in this volume explore diverse aspects of the formation of early modern prose narratives. Essays focus on how a sense of selfness or subjectivity begins to establish itself in various narratives, thus providing a necessary requirement for the individuality that dominates later novels. Other contributors investigate how forms of intertextuality inscribe early modern prose within previous traditions of literary writing. A group of chapters presents the process of genre-making as taking place both within the confines of the texts proper, but also within paratextual features and through the rationale behind cataloguing systems. A final group of essays takes the implicit notion of the growing realism of early modern prose narrative to task by investigating the various social discourses that feature ever more strongly within the social, commercial, or religious dimensions of those texts. The book addresses a wide range of literary figures such as Chaucer, Wroth, Greene, Sidney, Deloney, Pepys, Behn, and Defoe. Written by an international group of scholars, it investigates the transformations of narrative form from medieval times through the Renaissance and the early modern period, and into the eighteenth century.

Celebrity and Glamour in Contemporary Russia BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Edited by Helena Goscilo, Ohio State University, USA and Vlad Strukov, University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58765-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This is the first book to explore the phenomenon of glamour and celebrity in contemporary Russian culture, ranging across media forms, disciplinary boundaries and modes of inquiry, with particular emphasis on the media personality. The book demonstrates how the process of ‘celebrification’ in Russia coincides with the dizzying pace of social change and economic transformation, the latter enabling an unprecedented fascination with glamour and its requisite extravagance; how in the 1990s and 2000s, celebrities - such as film or television stars - moved away from their home medium to become celebrities straddling various media; and how celebrity is a symbol manipulated by the dominant culture and embraced by the masses. It examines the primacy of the visual in celebrity construction and its dominance over the verbal, alongside the interdisciplinary, cross-media, post-Soviet landscape of today’s fame culture. Taking into account both general tendencies and individual celebrities, including pop-diva Alla Pugacheva and ex-President and current Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the book analyses the internal dynamics of the institutions involved in the production, marketing, and maintenance of celebrities, as well as the larger cultural context and the imperatives that drive Russian society’s romance with glamour and celebrity.

247 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION From a Japanese colony to an authoritarian regime to a new democracy, Taiwanese society has gone through many phases of social transition since 1945. This book examines the processes of cultural, social and political transition in Taiwan since 1945, investigating their impact on the Taiwanese cultural industries, with a particular focus on cinema and theatre, and showing how changes in cinema and theatre illustrate the broader cultural, social and political changes taking place. It sets out the history of the development of Taiwanese theatre and cinema since the 1930s, and relates this to broader changes within Taiwanese society. It analyses the sociopolitics of Taiwanese-language cinema, and the impact of language policies including the government’s encouragement and promotion of Mandarin in the 1960s. Important issues are considered, notably the modernization and commercialization of cinema and theatre in Taiwan, focusing in particular on Taiwanese produced gangster movies, and also questions of liberalization and democratization, especially the new wave of independent cinema that arrived in the mid 1980s. The book includes interviews with important movie directors, actors, producers, industry workers and critics, including Chen Qiu-yan and Huang Jian-ye. Overall, it provides a full account of cultural, political and social change in Taiwan over the last eighty years, and its relationship with Taiwanese cinema and theatre. CONTENTS 1.

Global Chinese Cinema Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia Series
Edited by Gary D. Rawnsley and Ming-Yeh T. Rawnsley, both of University of Leeds, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45315-8; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The film Hero , directed by Zhang Yimou and released in 2002, is widely regarded as the first globally successful indigenous Chinese blockbuster. A big expensive film with multiple stars, spectacular scenery, and astonishing action sequences, it touched on key questions of Chinese culture, nation and politics, and was both a domestic sensation and an international hit. This book explores the reasons for the film’s popularity with its audiences, discussing the factors which so resonated with those who watched the film. It examines questions such as Chinese national unity, the search for cultural identity and role models from China’s illustrious precommunist past, and the portrayal of political and aesthetic values, and attitudes to gender, sex, love, and violence which are relatively new to China. The book demonstrates how the film, and China’s growing film industry more generally, have in fact very strong international connections, with Western as well as Chinese financing, stars recruited from the East Asian region more widely, and extensive interactions between Hollywood and Asian artists and technicians. Overall, the book provides fascinating insights into recent developments in Chinese society, popular culture and cultural production.

248 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION HIV/AIDS is an increasingly serious problem in China, with an increasing number of new cases every year. As a result, HIV organizations have boomed, with both state and non-governmental organisations responding to the threat with campaigns to increase public awareness of the disease, utilising the media as the primary tool to reshape citizens’ understandings and views of HIV/AIDS. This book explores how HIV/AIDS is portrayed in China’s media. It argues that, despite increasing education campaigns, media coverage and social and academic openness towards HIV/AIDS, many Chinese of the majority Han ethnic group regard infection as a distant possibility, believing themselves to be immune and infection a problem only for certain non-Han ethnic groups with perceived lower moral standards, in particular black Africans. The book explores how HIV/AIDS is reported, analysing the language used in constructing and encoding the health narrative, its subjects, and ideas about the disease. It demonstrates how China’s media frequently employs negative events to present the most extreme possibilities of poverty, danger, disasters and disease, with black Africa portrayed as an antiquated, distant and socioculturally and politically backward place, uniquely unsuitable for the containment of disease, in contrast with the progressive, scientifically sophisticated and morally upstanding Chinese. It argues that this discourse has had the effect of distancing many Chinese from the perceived possibility of infection, thus compromising the effectiveness of public health campaigns on HIV/AIDs. It suggests that the key to combating the spread of the disease lies in challenging the racialised narratives through which the disease is portrayed in China’s media, rather than simply by aiming to educate greater numbers of people.

Islam is a religion but there is also a popular culture, or popular cultures of Islam that are mass mediated, commercialized, pleasure-filled, humorous, and representative of large segments of society. This book focuses on these forms and the accompanying practices of production, circulation, marketing, and consumption of Islam. It dispels the notion that Islam is monolithic, militaristic, and primarily Middle Eastern and emphasizes upon its dynamic, contested, and performative nature in contemporary Indonesia and Malaysia. It addresses important questions such as – Under what historical and social conditions have popular culture and Islam become mutually constitutive as sites for defining Islam in the Malay world? What forms does Islam take in popular culture? What meanings about Islam do audiences derive from popular culture? What is the relationship between Islam and Malay identity, viz a viz long-standing debates about language, culture, race, and ethnicity in the Malay world?

249 The rapid development of human rights standards and protection mechanisms in South East Asia for the past decade has caused a number of tensions. Among the most significant of these is in the area of new media, where many governments have had to reassess, or even invent, new controls in a medium widely recognized as almost uncontrollable. While there have been historic battles between the media and government in many South East Asian countries, this book concentrates on the new sites where these battles take place, and further, the new actors involved. It analyzes the democratizing capabilities by looking past state-citizen relationships to the roles of the private sector, and to the control mechanisms in place in the new media. It examines the ways in which the new media is challenging views of democracy and human rights, how it both enables and violates human rights standards and how it is being used by organizations and individuals to support human rights and democracy. By bringing together key issues from human rights and alternative media organizations in Asia, the book will stimulate discussion, exchange ideas, and inspire further research in the area of new media and human rights in Asia.

Unlike other studies of the internet in China, which either explore what is specifically Chinese about the internet in China, or which focus on new forms of interaction between social actors in China or the new social movements made possible by their new interaction, or which, using the methods of media studies, explore the internet as another medium for entertainment, this book examines Chinese people on the internet and what they actually do on the internet, discussing a wide range of different activities.

It addresses two important and related questions: How is the media being transformed, both in terms of its structure and content, by the changing political economy of Indonesia after the fall of Soeharto? What is the potential impact of this media in enabling or hampering the development of democracy in Indonesia? Whilst recognising the impact of the fall of Soeharto and the New Order regime, this book shows that many

250 of the factors influencing developments in politics and the media were global and would have had an impact upon Indonesia irrespective of the government in power. Specifically, it explores the role of ethnic identity and nationalism; increasingly cheaper and diversified means of media production, challenging state monopolies of the media; the reality of a simultaneously personalised and globalised media; and the challenging of the formerly paradigmatic connection between a free media and democracy by global capitalism and corporate control of the media. It explores the impact of these developments on Indonesia’s politics and media, arguing that the dominant forces transforming Indonesia today did not arise from the singular point of Sueharto’s resignation, but from a set of factors that are autonomous from, yet interlace with, Indonesia’s internal politics, to shape its cultural industries.

Jeremy E. Taylor, University of Sheffield, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49355-0; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Amoy-dialect film industry thrived in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia in the 1950s. Film in Amoy dialect, a dialect of Chinese, reflects a particular period in the history of the Chinese diaspora, and has been little studied due to its ambiguous place within the wider realm of Chinese and East Asian film history. This book represents the first full length, critical study of the origin, the significant rise and the rapid decline of the Amoy-dialect film industry in post-war Asia. Rather than examining the industry for its own sake, it focuses on its broader cultural, political and economic significance in the region. In particular, it questions many of the assumptions that are currently being made about the ‘recentness’ of transnationalism in Chinese cultural production, as well as the prominence given to ‘the nation’ and ‘nation-building’ in studies of Chinese cinemas and of the Chinese Diaspora. By examining a cinema that was not ‘national’, not grounded in any particular national tradition, and largely unconcerned with the ‘nation-building’ project in post-war Asia, this book challenges the very terms of reference within which many studies of film have been conducted. CONTENTS 1. Introduction. Defining the Amoy-dialect films; an industry remembered in the popular imagination in Southeast Asia but almost forgotten by scholars; the impossibility of ‘grounding’ this industry in debates about ‘national cinemas’ or ‘transn

It discusses the impact information communication technologies have today on social identity, well-being, participation and exclusion. It explores current media practices and their innovative, transformative and disruptive uses at the local, the regional, the national, and the global level. In particular, it analyses mobile media not as a discrete object, but rather as part of a dynamic communication and information environment in which human-object relations are constantly reconfigured. It covers key theoretical and conceptual themes in youth mobile media research focusing on social, cultural and political aspects, including coverage of key themes such as regulation and technology, practices, pedagogies, aesthetics, social change, and representations of mobile youth. The book includes new accounts of recent research into the uses of mobile media by young people, and how these are situated in a broader socio-political context. Case studies include mobile panics in Australia (the notorious Kings of Wirrabee sexual assault case) and Japan (the scandals of high school girls as teenage prostitutes) in which mobile media use has had significant impact. This book offers an up-to-date examination of the influence of information communication technologies on young people’s lives in the region.

It establishes the conceptual links between government and the practice of cultural policy, arguing that contemporary cultural policy in Singapore has been designed to shape citizens into accepting and participating in the rationales of government. Outlining the historical development of cultural policy, including the recent expansion of cultural regulatory and administrative practices into the ‘creative industries’, Terence Lee analyzes the attempts by the Singaporean authorities to engage with civil society, the ways in which the media is used to market the PAP’s policies and leadership and the implications of the internet for the practice of governmental control. Overall, The Media, Cultural Control and Government in Singapore offers an original approach towards the rethinking of the relationship between media, culture and politics in Singapore, demonstrating that the many contradictory discourses around Singapore only make sense once the politics and government of the media and culture are understood.

In this volume, Kilbourn provides a comparative theorization of the representation of memory in both mainstream Hollywood and international art cinema within an increasingly transnational context of production and reception. Focusing on European, North and South American, and Asian films, Kilbourn reads cinema as providing the viewer with not only the content and form of memory, but also with its own directions for use: the required codes and conventions for understanding and implementing this crucial prosthetic technology — an art of memory for the twentieth-century and beyond.

Cinematic Emotion in Horror Films and Thrillers Routledge Advances in Film Studies

Why do we sometimes enjoy an emotion we otherwise desperately wish to avoid? And why are the movies the predominant place for this paradoxical experience? These are the central questions of Julian Hanich’s path-breaking book, in which he takes a detailed look at the various aesthetic strategies of fear as well as the viewer’s frightened experience. By drawing on prototypical scenes from horror films and thrillers like Rosemary’s Baby, The Silence of the Lambs, Seven and The Blair Witch Project , Hanich identifies five types of fear at the movies and thus provides a much more nuanced classification than previously at hand in film studies. His descriptions of how the five types of fear differ according to their bodily, temporal and social experience inside the auditorium entail a forceful plea for relying more strongly on phenomenology in the study of cinematic emotions. In so doing, this book opens up new ways of dealing with these emotions. Hanich’s study does not stop at the level of fear in the movie theater, however, but puts the strong cinematic emotion against the backdrop of some of the most crucial developments of our modern world: disembodiment, acceleration and the loosening of social bonds. Hanich argues that the strong affective, temporal, and social experiences of frightening movies can be particularly pleasurable precisely because they help to counterbalance these ambivalent changes of modernity.

Rudmer Canjels, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87714-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Tracing the international consumption, distribution, and cultural importance of silent film serials in the 1910s and 1920s, Canjels provides an exciting new understanding of the cultural dimension and the cultural transformation and circulation of media forms. Specifically, he demonstrates that the serial film form goes far beyond the well-known American two-reel serial—the cliffhanger. Throughout the book, Canjels focuses on the biggest producers of serials, America, France, and Germany, while imported serials, such as those in the Netherlands, are also examined. This research offers new views on the serial work of well known directors as D.W. Griffith, Abel Gance, Erich von Stroheim, and Fritz Lang, while foregrounding the importance of lesser known directors such as Louis Feuillade or Joe May. In the early twentieth-century, serial productions were constantly undergoing change and were not merely distributed in their original form upon import. As adjusted serials were present in large quantities or confronted different social spaces, nationalistic feelings and views stimulated by the unrest of World War I and the expanding American film industry could be incorporated and attached to the serial form. Serial productions were not only adaptable to local discourses, they could actively stimulate and interact as well, influencing reception and further film production. By examining the distribution, reception, and cultural contexts of American and European serials in various countries, this cross-cultural research makes both local and global observations. Canjels thus offers a highly relevant case study of transnational, transcultural and transmedia relations. CONTENTS I. Film Seriality and Its Serial Uses: Transition and Beyond 1.

Hollywood Melodrama and the New Deal Routledge Advances in Film Studies

In contrast to these studies, this book considers the many different ways that Hollywood films of the New Deal era addressed the fundamental concepts of the burgeoning welfare state, ideas such as liberal empathy, consumer citizenship, the refeudalization of the state, and, above all, the welfare state ideal of minimal economic redistribution. Siomopoulos argues that Hollywood melodrama in particular became politicized when the New Deal defined consumption as a civic obligation that could help end the Depression and create a more united and democratic nation. When the Roosevelt administration began to promote the idea that the public had a national duty to re-circulate into the economy the income that it had received from New Deal programs, Hollywood melodrama responded in a variety of ways, most of which were supportive of New Deal rhetoric, but some of which pointed out the contradictions in New Deal ideology.

It promises to yield new knowledge and insight by examining the then nascent film industry in Korea in the light of Hollywood’s global expansion campaign, which began in 1929, and the ascension of Japan’s wartime activities. By avoiding a comprehensive application of Western theory on the Korean situation, the project investigates key moments in Korea’s cinematic history and touches directly upon the themes of nation building, national identity, colonial modernity, propaganda and cultural protectionism as well as the sensitive subject of collaboration. This study demonstrates the formation of a cinema under occupation is more complex than our conventional understandings of national cinema tell us. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Global Media Ecologies Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies
Doris Baltruschat, Carleton University, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 277pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87478-6; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this study, Baltruschat calls attention to dramatic changes in worldwide media production. Her work provides new insights into industry re-organization, digital media, and audience interactivity as pivotal relationships are redrawn along the entire value chain of production, distribution, and consumption. Based on an international study, she details how cultural agents now negotiate a media landscape through collaborative ventures, co-productions and format franchising. These varied collaborations define the new global media economy and affect a shift across the entire field of cultural production. Through detailing the intricacies of globally networked production ecologies, Baltruschat elucidates the shifting power relations in media production, especially in regards to creative labor and trade of intellectual properties. In the new global economy, "content" has become the "new currency." As a result, relational dynamics between cultural agents emerge as key forces in shaping worldwide cultural production, now increasingly characterized by flexible production and consumption. The blurring of lines in international media developments require new parameters, which define creativity and intellectual property in relation to interactive audiences and collaboratively produced content. Baltruschat clearly maps and defines these new dynamics and provides solutions as to how creative labor constellations can advance and enrich the new media economy. This is especially pertinent as global film and TV production does not necessarily result in greater media diversity. On the contrary, interdependencies in policy regimes, prioritization of certain genres, and branded entertainment epitomize how current networked ecologies reflect broader trends in cultural and economic globalization.

Understanding Media and Culture in Turkey Routledge Advances in Internationalizing Media Studies
Edited by Christian Christensen and Miyase Christensen, both of Karlstad University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87592-9; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Discourse (both popular and academic) surrounding Turkey has leaned toward the reductionist and the de-contextualized, framing Turkish media, culture and politics in polarized terms such as East vs. West, Modern vs. Traditional or Muslim vs. Christian. The objective of this new volume is to move away from such essentialist dichotomies and to provide scholars with a well-written, comprehensive and much-needed investigation into media and culture in Turkey. Three themes, "Structures," "Spaces" and "Voices," make up the core structure of the book, providing an intellectual and epistemological arc. Following an introductory chapter written by the co-editors, the first section, "Structures," provides critical examinations of the structural underpinnings of contemporary Turkish media and culture through analyses of, for example, journalism, cultural policy, Information Society and citizenship. The second section, "Spaces," connects Turkish media and culture to spatial/locational factors: Turkey’s role and place in Europe; the Turkish diasporic space; representations of the Turkish "East;" and Istanbul as urban/social space. In the final section, "Voices," the book turns toward chapters that address central issues in contemporary Turkish media—for example, Islam, arabesk music and the presentation of Kurds on national television—from a cultural perspective. The text will be essential reading for scholars within, for example, Middle and Near Eastern Studies, Media Studies, Sociology who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between media, politics and culture in this complex and increasingly important country.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
255 Looking at European drama through an ecological lens, this book chronicles nature and the environment as primary topics in major plays from ancient to recent times. Cless focuses on the few, yet well-known plays in which nature is at stake in the action or the environment is a dramatic force. Though theater predominantly explores human and cultural themes, these plays fully display the power of the other-than-human world and its endangerment during the history of Europe. While offering a broad overview, the book features extensive case studies of several playwrights, plays, and eco-theater productions: Aristophanes’ The Birds, Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest, and Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot. In each case, Cless connects nature in the play to nature in the life of the playwright based on biographical research into the understanding of natural philosophy and awareness of the immediate environment that influenced the specific play. The book is one of the first of its kind in a growing field of ecocriticism and emerging eco-studies of theater.

Feminist Visions and Queer Futures in Postcolonial Drama Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies
Kanika Batra, Texas Tech University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87591-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this timely study, Batra examines contemporary drama from India, Jamaica, and Nigeria in conjunction with feminist and incipient queer movements in these countries. Postcolonial drama, Batra contends, furthers the struggle for gender justice in both these movements by contesting the idea of the heterosexual, middle class, wage-earning male as the model citizen and by suggesting alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on working class sexual identities. Further, Batra considers the possibility of Indian, Jamaican, and Nigerian drama generating a discourse on a rights-bearing conception of citizenship that derives from representations of non-biological, non-generational forms of kinship. Her study is one of the first to examine the ways in which postcolonial dramatists are creating the possibility of a dialogue between cultural activism, women’s movements, and an emerging discourse on queer sexualities.

But while there exist countless studies on Ibsen the dramatist and the significance of his plays within different cultures written mainly by literary scholars, none of them examine the ways in which Ibsen's plays were performed, or the impact of such performances on the theater, social life, and politics of these cultures. The essays in this volume discuss performances from five continents--Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia--and cover a variety of Ibsen's plays, including A Doll's House , Hedda Gabler , Peer Glynt , and Ghosts . Specifically, contributors look at the way performances of Ibsen's plays address problems typical to modern or modernising societies all over the world, including the inferior social status of women; the decay of bourgeois family life and values; religious fundamentalism; industrial pollution and corporate cover-up; and/or the loss of and search for identity.

Performing Embodiment in Samuel Beckett's Drama Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies
Anna McMullan, Queens University Belfast, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 186pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-38598-5; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The representation and experience of embodiment is a central preoccupation of Samuel Beckett’s drama, one that he explored through diverse media. McMullan investigates the full range of Beckett’s dramatic canon for stage, radio, television and film, including early drama, mimes and unpublished fragments. She examines how Beckett’s drama composes and recomposes the body in each medium, and provokes ways of perceiving, conceiving and experiencing embodiment that address wider preoccupations with corporeality, technology and systems of power. McMullan argues that the body in Beckett’s drama reveals a radical vulnerability of the flesh, questioning corporeal norms based on perfectible, autonomous or invulnerable bodies, but is also the site of a continual reworking of the self, and of the boundaries between self and other. Beckett’s re-imagining of the body presents embodiment as a collaborative performance between past and present, flesh and imagination, self and other, including the spectator / listener.

The Provocation of the Senses in Contemporary Theatre Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies

He presents a basic summary of the ways that the senses function in relation to cognitive science and physiology, offering an overview of dominant trends of discussion on the realm of the senses in performance. Also presented are examples of how those ideas are illustrated in recent theatrical presentations, and how the different senses form the structure of a theatrical event. Di Benedetto concludes by suggesting the possible implications these neuroscientific ideas have upon our understanding of theatrical composition, audience response, and the generation of meaning.

This is used to explain the earlier stage work at Weimar and Schlemmer’s extensive oeuvre connected with the Bauhaus, particularly The Triadic Ballet . The idea of "theatre of space" is used to highlight twentieth-century practitioners who privilege the visual, aural, and plastic qualities of the stage above character, narrative and, themes (for example Schlemmer himself, Robert Wilson, Tadeusz Kantor, Robert Lepage, Pina Bausch). This impressive volume will be of use to students and academics involved in the areas of twentieth-century performance, the history of performance art, the history of avant-garde theatre, modern German theatre, and Weimar-era performance.

Russian Mass Media and Changing Values Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series
Edited by Arja Rosenholm, Kaarle Nordenstreng, both of University of Tampere, Finland and Elena Trubina, Ural State University, Russia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57746-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides a multi-faceted picture of the many complex processes taking place in the field of contemporary Russian media and popular culture. Russian social and cultural life today is strongly individualised and consumers are offered innumerable alternatives; but at the same time options are limited by the new technologies of control which are a key feature of Russian capitalism. Based on extensive original research by scholars in both Russia itself and in Finland, the book discusses new developments in the media industry and assesses a wide range of social and cultural changes, many of which are related to, and to an extent generated by, the media. The book argues that the Russian mass media industry, whilst facing the challenges of globalization, serves several purposes including making a profit, reinforcing patriotic discourse and popularizing liberalized lifestyles. Topics include changing social identities, new lifestyles, ideas of "glamour" and "professional values". Overall, the book demonstrates that the media in Russia is far from homogenous, and that, as in the West, despite new technologies of control, media audiences are being offered a new kind of pluralism which is profoundly influencing Russia's cultural, social and political landscape.

258 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this volume, Gronas addresses the full range of psychological, social, and historical issues that bear on the mnemonic existence of modern literary works, particularly Russian literature. He focuses on the mnemonic processes involved in literary creativity, and the question of how our memories of past reading experiences shape the ways in which we react to literary works. The book also examines the concrete mnemonic qualities of poetry, as well as the social uses to which poetry memorization has historically been put to use. This study will appeal to scholars of cognitive poetics, Russian literature, and cultural studies.

Emotions are considered from the perspective of the specific ways they function in media texts to frame and maintain complex cultural notions such as law, justice, and injustice.
International Journalism and Democracy Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Edited by Angela Romano, Queensland University of Technology, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 275pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-96110-3; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines different models from around the world of how journalism can support deliberation — the processes in which societies recognize and discuss the issues that affect them, appraise the potential responses, and make decisions about whether and how to take action. Authors from across the globe identify the types of journalism that might best assist or even drive deliberative activity in different cultural and political contexts. Case studies from 15 nations spotlight different approaches to deliberative journalism, including strategies that have been sometimes been labeled as public or civic journalism, peace journalism, development journalism, citizen journalism, the street press, community journalism, social entrepreneurism, or other names. Each of the approaches that are described offer a distinctive potential to support deliberative democracy, but the book does not present any of these models or case studies as examples of categorical success. Rather, it explores different elements of the nature, strengths, limitations and challenges of each approach, as well as issues affecting their longer-term sustainability and effectiveness.

Landscapes of Holocaust Postmemory Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Brett Kaplan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87476-2; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION How do the spaces of the past stay with us through representations—whether literary or photographic? How has the Holocaust registered in our increasingly globally connected consciousness? What does it mean that this European event is often used as an interpretive or representational touchstone for genocides and traumas globally? In this interdisciplinary study, Kaplan asks and attempts to answer these questions by looking at historically and geographically diverse spaces, photographs, and texts concerned with the physical and/or mental landscape of the Holocaust and its transformations from the postwar period to the early twenty-first century. Examining the intersections of landscape, postmemory, and trauma, Kaplan's text offers a significant contribution to our understanding of the spatial, visual, and literary reach of the Holocaust.

Letters, Postcards, Email Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Esther Milne, Swinburne University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 262pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99328-9; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this original study, Milne moves between close readings of letters, postcards and emails, and investigations of the material, technological infrastructures of these forms, to answer the question: How does presence function as an aesthetic and rhetorical strategy within networked communication practices? As her work reveals, the relation between old and new communication systems is more complex than allowed in much contemporary media theory. Although the correspondents of letters, postcards and emails are not, usually, present to one another as they write and read their exchanges, this does not necessarily inhibit affective communication. Indeed, this study demonstrates how physical absence may, in some instances, provide correspondents with intense intimacy and a spiritual, almost telepathic, sense of the other’s presence. While corresponding by letter, postcard or email, readers construe an imaginary, incorporeal body for their correspondents that, in turn, reworks their interlocutor’s self-presentation.

Teletechnologies, Place and Community Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Rowan Wilkin, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87595-0; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Teletechnologies, or technologies of distance, cannot be ignored. Indeed, the present electronic age is said to have wrought profound changes to how we think about and experience who we are, where we are, and how we relate with one another. Place and community have traditionally formed key concepts for thinking about these issues, but what relevance do these concepts now hold for us? In this wide-ranging study, Wilken re-evaluates how ideas of place and community intersect with and help us make sense of a world

260 transformed by information and communication technologies. This interdisciplinary investigation ranges across diverse textual and contextual terrain, exploring approaches from media and communications, architectural history and theory, philosophy, sociology, geography, literature, and urban design. The rich analysis of these myriad texts reveals the complex and at times contradictory ways in which notions of place and community circulate in relation to these technologies of distance. Wilken’s examination underscores both the enduring importance of ideas of place and community in the present age, and the urgent need to continue to engage with, think about and reconfigure these twin ideas.

Violence, Visual Culture, and the Black Male Body Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies
Cassandra Jackson, The College of New Jersey, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 172pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88042-8; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION From early photographs of disfigured slaves to contemporary representations of bullet-riddled rappers, images of wounded black men have long permeated American culture. While scholars have fittingly focused on the ever-present figure of the hypermasculine black male, little consideration has been paid to the wounded black man as a persistent cultural figure. This book considers images of wounded black men on various stages, including early photography, contemporary art, hip hop, and new media. Focusing primarily on photographic images, Jackson explores the wound as a specular moment that mediates power relations between seers and the seen. Historically, the representation of wounded black men has privileged the viewer in service of white supremacist thought. At the same time, contemporary artists have deployed the figure to expose and disrupt this very power paradigm. Jackson suggests that the relationship between the viewer and the viewed is not so much static as fluid, and that wounds serve as intricate negotiations of power structures that cannot always be simplified into the condensed narratives of victims and victimizers. Overall, Jackson attempts to address both the ways in which the wound has been exploited to patrol and contain black masculinity, as well as the ways in which twentieth century artists have represented the wound to disrupt its oppressive implications CONTENTS List of Figures Acknowledgments Introduction 1: Early Photography and the Cultural Work of Wounds 2: Photography and the Disabled Black Subject in the Art of Carrie Mae Weems 3: Fantasies of Wounding: Black Male Bodies in Hip Hop 4: Branding Black Men: Hank Willis Thomas’s B®anded series 5: The Appropriation of Lynching Photography 6: Seeing Without Looking: Lynching in Charles W.

History of Participatory Media Routledge Studies in Cultural History
Edited by Anders Ekström, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, Solveig Jülich, Stockholm University, Sweden, Frans Lundgren, Uppsala University, Sweden and Per Wisselgren, Umeå University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 185pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88068-8; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book argues for a historical perspective on issues relating to the notion of participatory media. Working from a broad concept of media – including essays on the 19th century press, early sound media, photography, exhibitions, television and the internet – the book offers a broad empirical approach to different modes of audience participation from the mid 19th century to the present. Using the insights from the historical case studies, the book also explores some of the key concepts in discussions on the politics of participation, arguing for a theoretical perspective sensitive to the asymmetries that characterize the distribution of agency in the relationship between media and users. Scholarly discussions on participatory media now occur in several fields. This book argues that all of these discussions are all too often obscured by a rhetoric of newness, assuming that participatory media is something unique in history, radical and revolutionary. By challenging the historiography implicit in this rhetoric, the book also engages in a discussion of issues of more general relevance to the multidisciplinary field of media history. CONTENTS

As the first book to address the diverse transnationalism of this contemporary electronic dance music phenomenon, the collection hosts interdisciplinary research addressing psytrance as a product of intersecting local and global trajectories. Contributing to theories of globalization, postmodernism, counterculture, youth subcultures, neotribes, the carnivalesque, music scenes and technologies, dance ritual and spirituality, chapters introduce psytrance in Goa, the UK, Israel, Japan, the US, Italy, Czech Republic, Portugal and Australia. As a global occurrence indebted to 1960s psychedelia, sharing music production technologies and DJ techniques with electronic dance music scenes, and harnessing the communication capabilities of the Internet, psytrance and its cultural implications are thoroughly discussed in this first scholarly volume of its kind.

Video and animation now plays a prominent role in the World Wide Web and new types of protocols have been developed to accommodate this increasing complexity. However, as this has happened the potential for individual users to control how the content is displayed has been diminished. It has been argued that the Internet will not be fully accessible until disability is considered a cultural identity in the same way that class, gender and sexuality are. Kent and Ellis build on this notion and apply it to more recent Web 2.0 phenomena, social networking sites, virtual worlds and file sharing. CONTENTS 1. Introduction I. At the Crossroads 2.

Media Representations of Gender and Torture Post-9/11 Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Communication
Marita Gronnvoll, Eastern Illinois University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87480-9; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this timely book, Gronnvoll offers a feminist rhetorical examination of gender and torture, looking at the media coverage of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay, as well as recent popular entertainment television serials where torture appears as a plot device (including 24). In exposing news media coverage to such scrutiny, she finds that cases of American personnel engaging in torture achieved notoriety chiefly because of the fact that women were perpetrators. The language of commentators suggests at least as much social outrage over the gender performance of the women as over the fact of torture being committed by Americans. At the same time, political and social discourses sketch a portrait of an intractable enemy in the form of the Muslim "Other" and betray a longing for a savior warrior hero who is capable of prevailing over this perceived "evil." Yet, news coverage of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay suggests women warriors are socially perceived as lacking the necessary qualifications to be such saviors. This finding provides a transition into an examination of popular entertainment television programs that feature male and female heroes as government agents engaged in fighting the war on terrorism. Ultimately, Gronnvoll's analysis suggests that a Western cultural longing for a savior is partially fulfilled through fictional programming portrayals of masculine warriors who engage in torture and remain heroic.

Charmaine A. Nelson poses critical questions about the contexts of production, the problems of representation, the pathways of circulation and the consequences of consumption. She analyzes not only how, where, why and by whom black female subjects have been represented, but also what the social and cultural impacts of the colonial legacy of racialized western representation have been. Nelson also explores and problematizes the issue of the historically privileged white artistic access to black female bodies and the limits of representation for these subjects. This book not only reshapes our understanding of the black female representation in Western Art, but also furthers our knowledge about race and how and why it is (re)defined and (re)mobilized at specific times and places throughout history.

Aging Among Japanese American Immigrants Studies in Asian Americans
Itsuko Kanamoto PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 160pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-97946-7; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Aging is inevitable. Every individual experiences life's pathos of diminishing strength, flexibility, beauty, roles, relationships, and memory. On the other hand, aging is a group experience that differs from culture to culture. Especially in multicultural societies like the United States, aging differs from one ethnic group to another. The Japanese American elderly, who are perceived as a model minority, are no exception to this differentiation. Aging among Japanese American Immigrants explores the ethnic dimensions of aging among Japanese immigrants in the United States. Due to the successful assimilation of Japanese (Issei) and Japanese Americans (Nisei and Sansei) into American society, they have not been perceived as a discrete age group that needs social support or special health care. Their aging experience, however, is essentially dissimilar to that of 'white ethnic' elderly. Most of the Issei and Nisei are now old men and women who relish Japanese ethnic food and croon Japanese songs in Japanese. It is apparent that the elderly are forced to re-synthesize themselves and transform their social and cultural involvement based on their ethnicity. The ethnographic research explores the ethnic dimensions of aging among Japanese and Japanese-American elderly in the United States, and illustrates their acculturative aging process and the parallel diminishment of culture-deculturative process.

Ethnohistory as Collective Memory of Japanese Immigrants in the United States 5. Tales of Aging: Oral Life History as Projective Configuration of Memory 6.

She argues that a new kind of journalism is emerging, characterized by an increasingly global flow of news as well as a growing number of news deliverers. Within this transformed news sphere the roles of journalistic outlets change. They become nodes, arranged in a dense net of information gatherers, producers, and disseminators. The interactive connections among these news providers constitute what Heinrich calls the sphere of "network journalism." CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Transmedia Television Elizabeth Evans, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $105.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88292-7; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The early years of the twenty-first century have seen dramatic changes within the television industry. Television texts are no longer confined to the television set as new online and mobile viewing services and multiplatform, transmedia storytelling techniques become ever more pervasive. Viewers can become players as games invite them to explore the narrative worlds of television programmes. They can take television with them, using portable technologies to watch it at bus stops or on trains. They can break free of television schedules, watching programmes online whenever they choose. They can engage with ‘television’ without ever turning a television set on. Transmedia Television offers an in-depth study of audience attitudes towards the emergence of the internet and mobile phone as platforms for televisual content. Focusing on a particular period of rapid change and using case studies including Spooks , 24 and Doctor Who , it considers how the industry has exploited emergent technologies and the extent to which audiences have embraced them. How has television content been transformed by shifts towards multiplatform strategies? What is the appeal of using game formats to lose oneself within a narrative world? How can television, with its ever larger screens and association with domesticity, be reconciled with the small portable, public technology of the mobile phone? What does the shift from television schedules to online downloading mean for our understanding of ‘the television audience’? Transmedia Television offers insight into each of these questions, ultimately considering what ‘television’ now means for its audiences. CONTENTS Introduction Part I Understanding Transmediality 1.

Studies on the Abuse and Decline of Reason The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek
Edited by Bruce Caldwell, Duke University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57383-2; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The studies of which this book is the result have from the beginning been guided by and in the end confirmed the somewhat oldfashioned conviction of the author that it is human ideas which govern the development of human affairs, Hayek wrote in his notes in 1940. Indeed, Studies on the Abuse and Decline of Reason remains Hayek’s greatest unfinished work and is here presented for the first time under the expert editorship of Bruce Caldwell. In the book, Hayek argues that the abuse and decline of reason was caused by hubris, by man’s pride in his ability to reason, which in Hayek’s mind had been heightened by the rapid advance and multitudinous successes of the natural sciences, and the attempt to apply natural science methods in the social sciences.

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
265 www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87596-7; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book concerns the foundations and implications of a particular form of liberal political theory. Colburn argues that one should see liberalism as a political theory committed to the value of autonomy, understood as consisting in an agent deciding for oneself what is valuable and living life in accordance with that decision. Understanding liberalism this way offers solutions to various problems that beset liberal political theory, on various levels. On the theoretical level, Colburn claims that this position is the only defensible theory of liberalism in current circulation, arguing that other more dominant theories are either self-contradictory or unattractive on closer inspection. And on the practical level, Colburn draws out the substantive commitments of this position in educational, economic, and social policy. Hence, the study provides a blueprint for a radical liberal political agenda which will be of interest to philosophers and to politicians alike.

Epistemology and the Regress Problem Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Scott Aikin, Vanderbilt University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87800-5; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In the last decade, the familiar problem of the regress of reasons has returned to prominent consideration in epistemology. And with the return of the problem, evaluation of the options available for its solution is begun anew. Reason’s regress problem, roughly put, is that if one has good reasons to believe something, one must have good reason to hold those reasons are good. And for those reasons, one must have further reasons to hold they are good. And so a regress of reasons looms. In this new study, Aikin presents a full case for infinitism as a response to the issue of the regress of reasons. The most defensible form of infinitism, he argues, is that of a mixed theory – that is, epistemic infinitism must be consistent with and even rely on other solutions to the regress problem.

Habermas and Rawls Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Edited by James Gordon Finlayson, Sussex University, UK and Fabian Freyenhagen, University of Essex, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87686-5; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Habermas and Rawls are two heavyweights of social and political philosophy, and they are undoubtedly the two most written about (and widely read) authors in this field. However, there has not been much informed and interesting work on the points of intersection between their projects, partly because their work comes from different traditions—roughly the European tradition of social and political theory and the Anglo-American analytic tradition of political philosophy. In this volume, contributors re-examine the Habermas-Rawls dispute with an eye toward the way in which the dispute can cast light on current controversies about political philosophy more broadly. Moreover, the volume will cover a number of other salient issues on which Habermas and Rawls have interesting and divergent views, such as the political role of religion and international justice.

Objectivity and the Language-Dependence of Thought Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Christian Barth, Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88269-9; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Comprising the insights of two primary representatives of twentieth century and contemporary philosophy, this book provides an original transcendental analysis of the nature of thought. Looking at the works of Donald Davidson and Robert Brandom, Barth creates a transcendental defence of universal conceptual lingualism and linguistic interpretationism. This defence also provides an explanation of the phylogenesis of the concept of objectivity, which reveals the intersubjective roots of this concept. The consequences of the developed position have a strong impact on many contemporary debates in the philosophy of mind and language and on empirical research in cognitive science, ethology, artificial intelligence, and cognitive archaeology. The book is, thus, a substantial contribution to lively discussed topics in contemporary theoretical philosophy and empirical research on cognition. CONTENTS 1.

Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Eugen Fischer, University of East Anglia, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-33179-1; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy develops a novel account of the nature and genesis of philosophical problems. This account vindicates a revolutionary reorientation of philosophical work: the project of philosophical therapy pioneered by Ludwig Wittgenstein. With the help of concepts adapted from different branches of cognitive science (cognitive linguistics, cognitive and clinical psychology), the book explains where and why therapy is called for in philosophy, and develops techniques to actually carry it out.
The Philosophy of the Pittsburgh School Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
Chauncey Maher, Dickinson College, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 260pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80442-4; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this volume, Maher contextualizes the work of a group of contemporary analytic philosophers--The Pittsburgh School--whose work is characterized by an interest in the history of philosophy and a commitment to normative functionalism, or the insight that to identify something as a manifestation of conceptual capacities is to place it in a space of norms. Beginning by identifying the key players of the Pittsburgh School--Wilfried Sellars, Robert Brandom, John McDowell, John Haugeland, and others--and describing the central themes that characterize their work, the book then dedicates chapters to the School's contributions to individual areas of philosophy, covering language, action, mind, knowledge, and science.
Rawls, Citizenship, and Education Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
M. Victoria Costa, Florida State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $105.00; 229x152 mm; 194pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87795-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book develops and applies a unified interpretation of John Rawls’ theory of justice as fairness in order to clarify the account of citizenship that Rawls relies upon, and the kind of educational policies that the state can legitimately pursue to promote social justice. Costa examines the role of the family as the "first school of justice" and its basic contribution to the moral and political development of children. It also argues that schools are necessary to supplement the education that families provide, teaching the political virtues that support just social institutions. The book also examines the questions of whether civic education should aim at cultivating patriotic feelings, and how it should respond to the deep cultural pluralism of contemporary democratic societies.

Despite the existence of numerous publications concerning the digital divide, and the obvious importance of the subject area, there has, to date,
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
268 been almost no research published on philosophical and normative aspects of the subject. This book fills that gap. Emma Rooksby poses the intriguing question: 'Are digital divides unjust?' The key aims of the book are: to provide a broad overview of the phenomena collectively known as digital divides, at both national and international levels, and to develop a clear and well-reasoned account of the morally significant aspects of digital divides to develop a philosophical framework, based on John Rawls theory of justice, in which to evaluate digital divides to illustrate the relationship between inequalities in access to ICTs and broader issues of social justice, at both national and global levels. This book will be if interest to a broad range of philosophers, as well as to the general reader who has some interest in information technology and/or digital divides. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Characterising Digital Divides 3. How to Argue about Digital Divides 4. The Nature of the Disagreement 5. Global Justice and the Digital Divide
Freedom of the Will Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
Ferenc Huoranszki, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87947-7; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The book provides a novel interpretation of G. E. Moore’s famous conditional analysis of free will and discusses several questions about the meaning of free will and its significance for moral responsibility. Although Moore’ theory has a strong initial appeal, most metaphysicians believe that there are conclusive arguments against it. Huoranszki argues that the importance of conditional analysis must be reevaluated in light of some recent developments in the theory of dispositions. The original analysis can be amended so that the revised conditional account is not only a good response to determinist worries about the possibility of free will, but it can also explain the sense in which free will is an important condition of moral responsibility. This study addresses three fundamental issues about free will as a metaphysical condition of responsibility. First, the book explains why agents are responsible for their actions or omissions only if they have the ability to do otherwise and shows that the relevant ability is best captured by the revised conditional analysis. Second, it aims to clarify the relation between agents’ free will and their rational capacities. It argues that free will as a condition of responsibility must be understood in terms of agents’ ability to do otherwise rather than in terms of their capacity to respond to reasons. Finally, the book explains in which sense responsibility requires self-determination and argues that it is compatible with agents’ limited capacity to control their own character, reasons, and motives. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Fate and Freedom 2. Contingency and Free Will 3. Responsibility and Control 4. Reason and Intelligibility 5. Spontaneity and Self-determination 6. Concluding Remarks
The Metaphysics of Powers Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
Edited by Anna Marmodoro, University of Oxford, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 227pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87685-8; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This volume is a collection of papers that advance our understanding of the metaphysics of powers — properties such as fragility and electric charge. The metaphysics of powers is a fast developing research field with fundamental questions at the forefront of current research, such as Can there be a world of only powers? What is the manifestation of a power? Are powers and their manifestations related by necessity? What are the prospects for dispositional accounts of causation? The papers focus on questions concerning the metaphysics of powers that cut across any particular subject-specific ontological domain -- whether philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, ethics, epistemology – investigating the metaphysical structure of powers, the nature of the manifestation of powers, the necessity or contingency of a power’s relation to its manifestations, and powers and causation. A number of authors also engage in discussion with Humean and neo-Humean treatments of causation, thereby making contributions to a larger metaphysical debate beyond powers. Additionally, the authors engage critically with the latest contributions to the debate on powers in the literature, thereby bringing together in a wholesome and analytical way the most recent and noteworthy theoretical developments in this research field.

The Semantics and Metaphysics of Natural Kinds Routledge Studies in Metaphysics
Edited by Helen Beebee and Nigel Sabbarton-Leary, both of University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $110.00; 229x152 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87366-6; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Essentialism--roughly, the view that natural kinds have discrete essences, generating truths that are necessary but knowable only a posteriori --is an increasingly popular view in the metaphysics of science. At the same time, philosophers of language have been subjecting Kripke’s views about the existence and scope of the necessary a posteriori to rigorous analysis and criticism. Essentialists typically appeal to Kripkean semantics to motivate their radical extension of the realm of the necessary a posteriori ; but they rarely attempt to provide any semantic arguments for this extension, or engage with the critical work being done by philosophers of language. This collection brings authors on both sides together in one volume, thus helping the reader to see the connections between views in philosophy of language on the one hand and the metaphysics of science on the other. The result is a book that will have a significant impact on the debate about essentialism, encouraging essentialists to engage with debates about the semantic presuppositions that underpin their position, and, encouraging philosophers of language to engage with the metaphysical presuppositions enshrined in Kripkean semantics.

Dialectics, Politics, and the Contemporary Value of Hegel's Practical Philosophy Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Philosophy
Andrew Buchwalter, University of North Florida, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 260pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80610-7; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores and details the actuality (Aktualität) of Hegel’s social and political philosophy--its relevance, topicality, presence, and contemporary validity. It asserts--against the assumptions of those in a wide range of traditions--that Hegel’s thought not only remains relevant to debates in current social and political theory, but is capable of productively enhancing and enriching those debates. The book is divided into three main sections. Part I considers the actuality of Hegel’s social and political thought in the context of a constructed dialogues with later social and political theorists, including Marx, Adorno, Habermas, and Rawls. Part II explores Hegel’s internal criticism of Enlightenment rationality as well as the unique manner in which his thought reaffirms both the classical tradition of politics and the Christian conception of freedom in order to deepen and further develop our understanding of modernity and modern secularity. And, Part III considers Hegel’s contribution to current theorizing about globalization. CONTENTS Introduction: The Actuality of Dialectics I: Normative Political Theory in Dialogue 1.

Mill's Radical Liberalism Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Philosophy
Jonathan Riley, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-18909-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this major reinterpretation and contemporary defence of Mill's political philosophy, Riley offers a new reading of Mill's radical doctrine that is quite distinct from the prevalent and vague understanding of the term 'liberalism'. Based on the argument of On Liberty , the book begins by indicating the current debates about Mill's liberalism, followed by a summary of the argument, and an exploration of the alternative forms of liberalism that have since emerged such as the doctrines of Green, Bosanquet and Berlin. Riley then provides a full reinterpretation of Mill's doctrine covering issues of social custom and behaviour, and recent claims about Millian application on cases of pornography and prostitution . This fascinating investigation of one of the most controversial doctrines in philosophy is essential reading for students of Mill and political philosophy, and for those interested in the concept of liberty and its application.

Emergence in Science and Philosophy Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science
Edited by Antonella Corradini, Catholic University of Milan, Italy and Timothy O'Connor, Indiana University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 354pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80216-1; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The concept of emergence has seen a significant resurgence in philosophy and the sciences, yet debates regarding emergentist and reductionist visions of the natural world continue to be hampered by imprecision or ambiguity. Emergent phenomena are said to arise out of and be sustained by more basic phenomena, while at the same time exerting a "top-down" control upon those very sustaining processes. To some critics, this has the air of magic, as it seems to suggest a kind of circular causality. Other critics deem the concept of emergence to be objectionably anti-naturalistic. Objections such as these have led many thinkers to construe emergent phenomena instead as coarse-grained patterns in the world that, while calling for distinctive concepts, do not "disrupt" the ordinary dynamics of the finer-grained (more fundamental) levels. Yet, reconciling emergence with a (presumed) pervasive causal continuity at the fundamental level can seem to deflate emergence of its initially profound significance. This basic problematic is mirrored by similar controversy over how best to characterize the opposite systematizing impulse, most commonly given an equally evocative but vague

Platonism, Naturalism, and Mathematical Knowledge Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science
James Robert Brown, University of Toronto, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87266-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This study addresses a central theme in current philosophy: Platonism vs Naturalism and provides accounts of both approaches to mathematics, crucially discussing Quine, Maddy, Kitcher, Lakoff, Colyvan, and many others. Beginning with accounts of both approaches, Brown defends Platonism by arguing that only a Platonistic approach can account for concept acquisition in a number of special cases in the sciences. He also argues for a particular view of applied mathematics, a view that supports Platonism against Naturalist alternatives. Not only does this engaging book present the Platonist-Naturalist debate over mathematics in a comprehensive fashion, but it also sheds considerable light on non-mathematical aspects of a dispute that is central to contemporary philosophy.

Bioregionalism and Global Ethics Studies in Philosophy
Richard Evanoff, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87479-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book suggests that current trends towards globalization are creating entirely new social and environmental problems which require cross-cultural dialogue towards the creation of a new "global ethic." Current models of development are based on an implicit global ethic which advocates bringing everyone in the world up to the same standards of living as those prevalent in the so-called "developed" countries through unlimited economic growth. Evanoff argues that this goal is not only unattainable but also undesirable because it ultimately undermines the ability of the environment to sustain both human and non-human flourishing, exacerbates rather than overcomes social inequalities both within and between cultures, and fails to achieve genuine human well-being for all but a wealthy minority. An alternative bioregional global ethic is proposed which seeks to maximize ecological sustainability, social justice, and human well-being through the creation of economically self-sufficient and politically decentralized communities delinked from the global market, but confederated at appropriate levels to address problems that transcend cultural borders. Such an ethic is based on a transactional view of the relationship between self, society, and nature, which attempts to create more symbiotic and less conflictual modes of interaction between human cultures and natural environments, while promoting the flourishing of both. Instead of a single monolithic global ethic, bioregionalism suggests that there should be sufficient convergence between cultures to allow for the successful resolution of mutual problems, but also sufficient divergence to enable the continued evolution of both biological and cultural diversity on a global scale.

She synthesizes insights from Kantian and feminist ethics to establish that our inescapable interdependence gives rise to a duty to care for the fundamental needs of others. We are obligated not merely to meet others’ needs, but to do so in a manner that expresses "dignifying care," a concept Miller originates to capture how human interactions can grant or deny equal moral standing and inclusion in a moral community. Miller argues that meeting others’ needs also entails bolstering their agency, understood in a broad way that moves beyond the conventional identification of agency with rational capacity and foregrounds human emotional and relational abilities. She illustrates these theoretical developments by examining two cases where urgent needs require a caring and dignifying response: the needs of the elderly and the needs of distant

David McInerney argues that it was in The History of British India that Mill first published his theory of government, which appears there in his account of 'Oriental despotism' and his criticisms of Robertson's account of the caste system, and that, contrary to the opinion of certain critics, Mill's usage of 'history' in The History of British India is not rationalist but rather entails a distinctively empiricist conception of the relationship between historical records and the improvement of government.

Constitutional Bargaining in Russia, 1990–93 BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Edward Morgan-Jones, University of Kent, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £90.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 196pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49991-0; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The years 1990-93 were a critical moment in Russia’s political development. This book provides a systematic explanation of outcomes of constitutional bargaining processes in Russia, which radically reshaped the institutions of the Russian state: removing Russia from constitutional subordination to the Soviet Union in 1990; creating a presidency and a constitutional court in 1991; and restructuring the relationship between the central state and its component federal units with the passage of three Federal Treaties in 1992. The book explores the reasons for these outcomes and identifies why there were consistent delays to the passage of a new Russian constitution as well as why negotiations eventually broke down. The book assesses the plausibility of different theoretical approaches to constitutional choice and argues that the role of uncertainty (and politician's strategic responses to uncertainty) in shaping constitutional outcomes has been under-explored by rational choices approaches to constitutional bargaining. Using a rich set of source materials - including roll call votes, parliamentary records, unpublished parliamentary and constitution commission documents, Russian newspapers - the book provides a detailed study of Russian politician's decision making about constitutional choices. It is a valuable resource to those interested in Russia and post-communist politics, the origins of political institutions, comparative government, democratisation and development studies. CONTENTS 1. Explaining the Beginning of Constitutional Negotiations 2. Explaining the Outcomes of Constitutional Negotiations before the fall of the Soviet Union 3. Yeltin’s Missed Opportunity? 4.

Disease, Health Care and Government in Late Imperial Russia BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Charlotte Henze, University of Cambridge, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54794-9; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book addresses fundamental issues about the last decades of Tsarist Russia, contributing significantly to current debates about how far and how successfully modernisation was being implemented by the Tsarist regime. It focuses on successive outbreaks of cholera in the city of Saratov on the Volga, in particular contrasting the outbreak of 1892, which was widely regarded at the time as a national fiasco and a transformative episode for the Russian Empire, with the 1904 outbreak, when completely new scientific and administrative arrangements successfully contained the disease. The book sets the outbreaks fully in their social, economic, political and cultural context. It explains why a medical and social disaster that had long since been overcome in other parts of Europe continued much later in Russia. It explores autocratic government, urban renewal, public health, and disaster management, including the management of widespread public hysteria and social unrest. It analyses the degree to which Western medical knowledge was assimilated, how far related institutional and epistemological changes resulted, and just how far public health and urban government advanced in a relatively short period.

The EU–Russia Borderland BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Edited by Heikki Eskilinen, Ilkka Liikanen and James W. Scott, all of University of Eastern Finland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55247-9; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were high hopes of Russia’s "modernisation" and rapid political and economic integration with the EU. But now, given its own policies of national development, Russia appears to have ‘limits to integration’. Today, much European political discourse again evokes East/West civilisational divides and antagonistic geopolitical interests in EU-Russia relations. This book provides a carefully researched and timely analysis of this complex relationship and examines whether this turn in public debate corresponds to local-level experience – particularly in border areas where the European Union and Russian Federation meet. This multidisciplinary book - covering geopolitics, international relations, political economy and human geography - argues that the concept ‘limits to integration’ has its roots in geopolitical reasoning; it examines how Russian regional actors have adapted to the challenges of simultaneous internal and external integration, and what kind of strategies they have developed in order to meet the pressures coming across the border and from the federal centre. It analyses the reconstitution of Northwest Russia as an economic, social and political space, and the role cross-border interaction has had in this process. The book illustrates how a comparative regional perspective offers insights into the EU-Russia relationship: even if geopolitics sets certain constraints to co-operation, and market processes have led to conflict in cross-border interaction, several actors have been able to take initiative and create space for increasing cross-border integration in the conditions of Russia’s internal reconstitution.

Khrushchev in the Kremlin BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies

It examines the full complexity of government, including central government, individual ministries, regional leaders, separate institutions such as the military, and the lower levels of the Communist Party, outlining the interactions between them, and the contradictions arising from competing interests, and showing how the development and implementation of the important reforms which took place in this period were much more than Khrushchev’s own ideas. It discusses the various important reforms, and argues that de-Stalinisation was not the overarching determinant of policy, demonstrating continuities with as well as breaks from the past. Unlike many other studies which consider the subject from the perspective of the Cold War and superpower relations, this book provides an overview of the internal development of the Soviet Union in this period, locating it in the broader context of Soviet history.

Based on extensive original research, it shows how Russia’s vocational education system continues to channel its graduates into employment in state and former-state industrial enterprises, despite the severe problems with wage non-payment, irregularity of employment and unsafe working conditions, at the same time as young vocational graduates themselves are more interested in pursuing the new opportunities in the emerging service sector and the increasingly accessible market of higher education. Overall, it shows how young people’s aspirations are at odds with, and how some circumvent, a system designed to prepare working class children for working class jobs and thereby reinforce existing social stratification. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. The Transition from school to work in theoretical perspective 3. Transitions in transition: young people in emerging markets of labour, education and housing 4. Managing transitions: the IVET system in Ul’ianovsk Oblast 5. Fractured transitions: from inheritance to individualization 6. ‘Learning to learn’: making and breaking educational transitions 7.

It argues that the conflicts within Russia’s political and economic elites, and President Putin’s attempts to rebuild the Russian state after its fragmentation in the Yeltsin years are the most significant causes of changes in Russian media. Furthermore, it sheds light on the ways in which oligarchic media owners in Russia used television for their own political purposes and that media manipulation was not the exclusive preserve of the Kremlin, but a common pattern of behaviour

Russia and Islam BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies
Edited by Roland Dannreuther, University of Westminster, UK and Luke March, University of Edinburgh, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55245-5; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, both the Russian state and Russia's Muslim communities have struggled to find a new modus vivendi in a rapidly changing domestic and international socio-political context. At the same time as Islamic religious belief and practice have flourished, the state has become increasingly concerned about the security implications of this religious revival, reflecting and responding to a more general international concern over radicalised political Islam. This book examines contemporary developments in Russian politics, how they impact on Russia's Muslim communities, how these communities are helping to shape the Russian state, and what insights this provides to the nature and identity of the Russian state both in its inward and outward projection. The book provides an up-to-date and broad-ranging analysis of the opportunities and challenges confronting contemporary Muslim communities in Russia that is not confined in scope to Chechnya or the North Caucasus, and which goes beyond simplistic characterisations of Muslims as a 'threat'. Instead, it engages with the role of political Islam in Russia in a nuanced way, sensitive to regional and confessional differences, highlighting Islam's impact on domestic and foreign policy and investigating sources of both radicalisation and de-radicalisation.

This book, based on extensive original analysis of Socialist Revolutionary (SR) party materials, shows how the SR party operated, how it formulated and disseminated its ideas, what these ideas were, and how the party's ideas developed in response to changing circumstances in Russia and Europe more widely, showing how its vision of a populist, socialist regime failed to materialise as state control, dictatorship and the collectivisation of agriculture took hold.

Public Policymaking in Hong Kong Comparative Development and Policy in Asia
Eliza Lee, University of Hong Kong, et al PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57605-5; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book discusses civic engagement and public policymaking in postcolonial Hong Kong. Utilizing case studies of citizens’ advisory committees involving four policy areas - urban planning, social welfare policy, environmental protection, and arts and culture policy - it examines the interaction between the state and civil society, and explores how far the state opens up its policy process for citizens’ participation. Although citizens' advisory committees are widely used in liberal democracies, they were made extensive use of by the colonial administration in Kong Kong, and continue to be used under the present regime. Some people have argued that the committees are mostly window-dressing. This book, however, demonstrates that they do offer the opportunity for increased public involvement, with some committees having been tranformed into more open forums, though at the same time other forms of societal mobilisation have had a significant impact on policy, forcing the government to delay or alter a wide range of policies on harbour reclamation, urban planning and heritage conservation.

This book explores many of the challenging questions posed by the interconnections between these three forces, concentrating on issues which have global significance and which have been less studied up until now. It contains contributions from many of the leading thinkers and academics from this subject area, including the former President of Iran, Seyyed Mohammad Khatami. Topics such as the compatibility of Islam and democracy, and the question of whether democracy can be encouraged in the Middle East are looked at carefully. Contributors evaluate the circumstances under which democracy can be imposed by outside force, and asks what forces are driving the confrontation between the West and Islam, before looking at how this confrontation is likely to develop. This book presents a comprehensive picture of dynamic change in the geopolitics of our time, and offers a timely contribution to research on Middle East Politics and Islamic Studies.

This book goes further however by discussing how international relations are viewed from inside Iran itself, outlining the factors which underpin Iranian thinking on international relations and considering what role Iran, as a large and significant country in the Middle East, ought to play in a fairly constructed international system. It includes contributions by leading scholars and policy makers from inside, as well as from outside Iran, including academics and policy-makers with unparalleled access and insights into the motivations of the Iranian leadership. Subjects covered include: the rationale of Iran’s Islamic constitution, including its electoral system, and the impact this has on international relations; Iran’s view of the ideal international system, including the place of ethics, peace and security; Iran’s international interests, including energy needs; and relations with the West, including the clash between Iranian and Western views of the world order.

The government, the media, and the general public have raised questions regarding potential links between Western Muslims, radical Islam and terrorism. This speculation has given rise to popular myths concerning the Islamic world and led to a host of illiberal measures such as illegal warranting, denial of Habeas Corpus , "black prisons" and extreme torture throughout the democratic world. This book challenges the authenticity of these myths and examines the ways in which they have been used to provide an ideological cover for the "war on terror" and the subsequent Iraq war. It argues that they are not only unfounded and hollow, but have also served a dangerous purpose, namely warmongering and the empowering of the national-security state. It further considers the origin and transmission of these myths, focusing on media, government policy and popular discourse. CONTENTS 1.

The Populist Radical Right in Poland Extremism and Democracy
Rafal Pankowski, Collegium Civitas, Poland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 258pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47353-8; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this important and accessible study, Rafal Pankowski makes sense of the rapid growth of organized radical nationalism on the political level in Poland by showing its origins, its internal dynamics and the historical, political, social and cultural context that has made it possible. From political obscurity to the heart of mainstream politics, the recent rise of the extreme right in the Polish context surprised many observers. In the 1990s Poland was usually referred to as a country without significant extremist or populist movements. It was considered to be a stable, even if young, democracy, and ‘extremists’ were perceived as just a little nuisance to the liberal-democratic consensus. By the mid-2000s, the picture changed completely, two populist radical right parties entered into a coalition government with the right-wing conservative Law and Justice Party. All of a sudden, racist extremist affiliations were not a hindrance to a high-level career, but were tolerated or even seemed positively valued. The entrance of extremists into state structures was no longer a matter of isolated individual cases, but took on systemic features. Presenting a detailed analysis of the Polish national populism, the book will use theories of social movements (in particular the concept of discursive opportunity structure), as well as relevant theories of transition and democratization. In particular, the specific cultural resources of Polish nationalist populism are to be analyzed because they are deemed to be among principal reasons for the relative success of the radical nationalists and their particular brand of identity politics The book not only provides a detailed analysis of Polish nationalism but will also have a much broader transnational significance, essential reading for scholars of national populism in the context of post-communism and beyond.

Social and Political Thought of Julius Evola Extremism and Democracy
Paul Furlong, University of Cardiff, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58968-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book considers not the beginning or origins of terrorism but how groups that use terrorism end. Virtually all the groups that employed terrorist violence during the 1960s and 1970s have passed from the scene in one way or another. Likewise most of the individuals who embarked on ‘careers’ in terrorism over these same years now engage in other pursuits. The author argues that alQaida and the various violent Islamist groups it has inspired are, like their predecessors, bound to bring their operations to an end. Rather than discussing the defection or de-radicalization of individuals the book aims to analyze how terrorist groups end. It examines the historical record and analyzes in some detail the various ends of these violent organizations. Much of the analysis is based on a massive data collection on terrorism compiled by researchers at the national security studies center at the University of Haifa. As a result, the book provides a unique empirically informed perspective on the end of terrorism that is a valuable addition to the currently available in the literature on the subject. CONTENTS 1.

The Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Global Institutions
Ian Taylor, University of St. Andrews, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $110.00; 216x138 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54860-1; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The increase in China’s economic and political involvement in Africa is arguably the most momentous development on the continent since the end of the Cold War. This book seeks to detail the origins, structure, workings and activities of The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and its development over the last nine years. Mindful of the growing realisation that Africa is to play an increasingly important role in global energy politics, Ian Taylor provides a clear and detailed overview of an organisation that has been generally overlooked, despite the exponential rise in the importance of the Chinese presence in Africa. Topics addressed include: The key structures, functions and operations of the FOCAC The importance and development of the triennial summits, including the focus on cultural exchanges and economic cooperation The key criticisms and challenges currently faced by the FOCAC Discussion of ‘emerging issues’ – is it possible to have a "win-win" situation between Africa and China, as the FOCAC suggests? The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation provides a concise introduction to an organisation that will be instrumental in the future of Africa’s relationship with the developed world, and will be of interest to students of African and Chinese politics, International Relations and International Organizations.

282 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book offers a genealogical interrogation of the relationship between security and risk through its materialisation in insurance. Empirically, the importance of insurance cannot be understated. Insurance expenditure in 2005 was nearly three times the world’s total defence budget. However, nearly 90% of the world’s insurance premiums are currently sold in OECD countries characterising insurance as a distinctive liberal security technology. Regardless of its importance, the analysis of insurance has so far remained at a highly descriptive level and its theorisation has escaped the interest of political, security, and international relations theorists. This book aims to redress this gap. Moreover, whereas insurance provides a particular form of security central to the development of capitalist economies and liberal governance, little is known about how it relates to ethics, and power. In particular, apart from seminal analyses on the operation and function of insurance, not much is known about how it directly relates to i) changing conceptions of life, ii) evolving ways of being in the world, and iii) the orders of governance through which these are promoted and protected. This book contributes a theorisation of insurance in relation to these three ‘defining aspects of insurance’. In so doing it advances a novel contribution to the understanding of how a risk-based approach to security informs the problem of security and modernity, and in particular, it makes a novel contribution to the study of the biopolitics of security.
International Relations and Non-Western Thought Interventions
Edited by Robbie Shilliam, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57772-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The purpose of the book is to use a set of geo-culturally diverse investigations in order to sketch out, on the grounds of IR, the theoretical and substantive contours of an engagement with non-Western thought that refuses to approach this body of thought as either exotic to, or derivative of, the orthodox Western canon. In fine, the book highlights and explores the global , rather than European or Western context within which knowledge of modernity has been developed. In this respect, the core assumption that frames the book is that colonialism and imperialism have always been co-constitutive of processes of capitalist development and/or the modern territorial re-organization of political communities. At a minimum, globalization is not an escape from this historical relationship, but a re-ordering – and possibly intensification - of it. The retrieval for IR of this global colonial and imperial context to the knowledge production of modernity might help to provide deeper insights into the racial, religious, and cultural dimensions of a modernity shaped so fundamentally by colonialism and Western expansionism, insights that are right now desperately needed for a discipline so closely implicated in Western foreign policy making.

Madness in International Relations Interventions
Alison Howell, University of Manchester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $135.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57626-0; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides a novel approach to the study of security and global governance by demonstrating that psychological interventions are integral to global governmentality. It brings together three divergent case studies in order to illustrate how therapeutic interventions are deployed in a range of global governance projects, and, as such, how the psy disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, and their sub-disciplines) are called upon in the pursuit of global security and order. This book argues that global order is pursued quite literally through attempts to quash purported psychological disorders, in disparate sites. In each case study, the author traces a ‘diagnostic competition’ over the psychological state of a targeted population, in order to assess the effects of the problematization of the psyches of these populations. The empirical case studies of therapeutic interventions are as follows: 1. Guantánamo Bay, where both the US military and human rights organizations deployed psychiatric diagnoses of the detainees in order to represent their
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
283 reported suicide attempts as evidence that the detainees were either madmen or victims 2. Post-conflict populations, where two models for the delivery of psychological aid have been forged: the psychosocial and the mental health models 3. The Canadian military, where so-called Operational Stress Injuries amongst soldiers have been treated with the aim of returning soldiers to duty in the service of global order and security By bringing these case studies together, this study provides a novel approach to the study of security and global governance. It demonstrates that the global governance of minds is not a coordinated effort, but proceeds on a variety of fronts. Additionally, the cases show how therapeutic interventions are sometimes coercive, but at other times benevolent, depending on whether the subject population is considered a threat (Guantanamo detainees), victim (post-conflict populations), or provider (Canadian soldiers) of security and order. The case studies thus run from the most coercive/sovereign to the most benevolent/governmental.

Believing in Russia – Religious Policy After Communism Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series

It shows how religious freedom in Russia has, contrary to the widely held view, a long tradition, and how the leading religious institutions in Russia today, including especially the Russian Orthodox Church but also Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist establishments, owe a great deal of their special positions to the relationship they had with the former Soviet regime. It discusses the nature of everyday religious life in Russia, contrasting the internal life of faith communities with the public discourse of their leaders. It examines the flowering of religious freedom and the burgeoning of new sects in the years immediately after the end of the Soviet regime, showing how freedoms were subsequently curtailed, but only partially, by the important law of 1997. It discusses how far Russian Orthodox Christianity is related to Russian national culture, demonstrating the unresolved nature of the key question, Is Russia to be an Orthodox country with religious minorities or a multiconfessional state? and concluding that Russian society has so far failed to reach a consensus on the legal status of religion and its role in public life, contrasting the position in Russia on this with the position in other former Soviet republics including Belarus and Ukraine.

The Colour Revolutions in the Former Soviet Republics Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series
Edited by Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Dublin City University, Ireland and Abel Polese, Edinburgh University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58060-1; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the significance of the colour revolution regime-change process - popular shorthand for non-violent protests that overthrew post-communist authoritarian regimes - the Georgian Rose Revolution (2003); the Ukrainian Orange Revolution (2004), and the Kyrgyzstani Tulip Revolution (2005) being the most dramatic examples. It covers the former Soviet republics comprehensively, including republics such as Russia where colour revolutions did not occur, despite apparently favourable conditions; and considers why some post-Soviet countries underwent a colour revolution and others not? Identifying the conditions for successful colour revolutions, it asks whether there is a revolutionary blueprint that has been exported and continues to be transferred to areas of the world under autocratic rule. The book examines the ideologies of the post-Soviet ruling regimes, showing how political elites integrated nationalism, populism and authoritarianism into political debates; analyses anti-regime opposition movements, discussing the factors which led to the rise of such movements and outlining how the opposition movements were constituted and how they operated; and assesses the impact of external forces including the USA, the EU and Russia. Overall it evaluates the colour revolution phenomenon in its entirety, pointing out common features between different countries.

With a worldwide recession, the problems as well as the opportunities in Russian-European relations are magnified. While most works on Russian-European, Russian-American and Russian-West relations focus on current policies and explain them from a standard set of explanatory variables, this book penetrates deeper into the structural and ideational differences that tend to bring about misperceptions, miscalculations, misinterpretations and misdeeds in this twodirectional relationship. It applies a very broad conceptual framework to analyse differences that are as relevant for Europe and the EU as it is to Russia’s immediate neighbours and, while doing so, identifies the key factors that will dominate Russia-EU ties in the next decade.

There are large numbers of skinheads in Russia, responsible for a significant number of xenophobic attacks, including 70 deaths in 2007 alone, making this book relevant to Russian specialists as well as to sociologists of youth subculture. It provides a practical example of how to investigate youth subculture in depth over an extended period – in this case through empirical research following a specific group over six years – and goes on to argue that Russian skinhead subculture is not a direct import from the West, and that youth cultural practices should not be reduced to expressions of consumer choice. It presents an understanding of the Russian skinhead as a product of individuals’ whole, and evolving, lives, and thereby compels sociologists to rethink how they conceive the nature of subcultures.

Discourse and Democracy Routledge Critical Studies in Discourse
Michael Farrelly, University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87235-5; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this new study, Farrelly gives a critical examination of democracy as it is conceived and practiced in contemporary advanced liberal nations. The received wisdom on democracy is probelmatized through a close analysis of discourse in combination with critical theories of democracy and of the State. The central theme of the book is the paradox of pervasive reference to democracy as a legitimation of political action by liberal governments versus the converse weakening of actual democratic practice within the liberal world. Farrelly builds on the work of Fairclough and others to examine this paradox, developing a new critical concept of 'democratism' as an ideology that undermines the possibility of a more genuine democracy through political actors who oversimplify the idea of democracy. The book argues for a recasting of democratic discourse and practice and includes critical analysis of key political texts taken from presidential and prime ministerial speeches from the US and UK that attach democracy to non-democratic practices; from UK election manifestoes through which political parties seek a democratic mandate whilst simultaneously seeming to construct a version of democracy that excludes the people; and from comparative research in Europe what shows alternative discourses which, though still problematic, highlight the contingency of liberal accounts of democracy.

This book, however, proposes that while the attacks on US homeland were unprecedented, the ensuing discourse of President G.W. Bush and his ‘war on terror’ campaign cannot be said to constitute a radical departure. The book aims to show that President Bush’s statements and actions since 9/11 belong within a broader unfolding discourse of the ‘New World Order', which has been underway since the end of the Cold War. To make their case, Lazar and Lazar adapt and develop Foucault’s notion of ‘discourse formation’ for a critical discourse analysis of almost two decades of post-Cold War presidential texts and talk, including speeches, press conferences, radio addresses, policy documents, and interviews. This book is the first to be jointly written by a linguist and a political scientist, allowing for the marriage of theoretical and analytical insights from international relations, international security studies, strategic studies, political discourse analysis and critical discourse studies.

Metaphor, Nation and the Holocaust Routledge Critical Studies in Discourse
Andreas Musolff, University of Durham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $120.00; 229x152 mm; 236pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-80119-5; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is the first to provide a cognitive analysis of the function of biological/medical metaphors in National Socialist racist ideology and their background in historical traditions of Western political theory. Its main arguments are that the metaphor of the German nation as a body that needed to be rescued from a deadly poison must be viewed as the conceptual basis rather than a mere propagandistic by-product of Nazi genocidal policies culminating in the Holocaust, and that this metaphor is closely related to the more general metaphor complex of the nation as a human body/person, which is deeply ingrained in Western political thought. The cognitive approach is crucial to understanding the nature and the origins of this metaphor complex because it goes beyond the rhetorical level by analyzing the ideological and practical implications of the conceptual mapping body-state in detail. It provides an innovative perspective on the problem of how the Nazis managed to ‘revive’ a clichéd metaphor tradition to the point where it became a decisive factor in European and world history. Musolff reveals how such a perspective allows us to explain why the body-state metaphor continues to be attractive for use in contemporary political theories.

This book examines the nature of donor operations in Palestine. It focuses on the role of trade-related donor assistance in Palestine, more commonly known as Aid for Trade. It discusses how such trade-related assistance is only another instance of donors working ‘around’ the conflict and how aid to Palestine cannot bring about significant improvement as long as the Palestinian economy is fundamentally affected by Israeli occupation, settlement and blockade. It argues that unless restructured and more carefully targeted, aid can only act as a temporary relief mechanism. Furthermore, the book sheds light on critical areas within Palestinian territories that are in need of development and require significant and immediate attention at both the national and the international level.

Edited by Marco Mariano, University of Eastern Piedmont, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 245pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99904-5; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this volume, essays by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic open new perspectives on the construction of the "Atlantic community" during World War II and the early Cold War years. Based on original approaches bringing together diplomatic history and the history of culture and ideas, the book shows how atlantism came to provide a solid ideological foundation for the security community of North American and European nations which took shape in the 1940s. The idea of a transatlantic community based on shared histories, values, and political and economic institutions was instrumental to the creation of the Atlantic Alliance, and partly accounts for the continuing existence of the Atlantic partnership after the Cold War. At the same time, this study breaks new ground by arguing that the emergence of the idea of "Atlantic community" also reflected deeper trends in transatlantic relations; in fact, it was the outcome of the re-definition of "the West" due to the rise of the US and the decline of Europe in the international arena during the first half of the Twentieth Century.

Although chairmanship is a generic feature of international politics, negotiations, and decision-making, it has been scarcely researched. The neutrality and impartiality assumptions that have been long associated with the chair have veiled the chair’s potential in molding negotiation outcomes. The book develops an analytical framework for the systematic study of the chairmanship office and its potential impact on multilateral negotiations. It elaborates on its origins, the parameters and conditions of chair’s effectiveness, and the performance of the chair’s functions. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

It demonstrates how security and economic concerns -domestic, regional and international - have either contributed to, or detracted from, an increased level of unity and cooperation in ASEAN. It also explores how the patterns of interaction and socialization generated by these issues, together with the nature of domestic political systems, have affected the emergence of common values, norms and interests. It covers the full range of issues confronting ASEAN at present, and the full range of ASEAN countries, and discusses both developments in ASEAN to date and also likely future developments.

In addition to extending the parameters of US foreign policy literature to include race and ethnicity, the book documents case-specific analyses of the evolutionary development of the African American foreign affairs network (AAFAN). Whilst the examination of race in regard to the construction of US foreign policy is significant, this book also provides a cross disciplinary approach which utilises historical and political science methods to paint a more realistic appraisal of US foreign policy. In short this book will transcend the standard mono-disciplinary approach which overestimates the separation between domestic and foreign affairs. The unique approach of this monograph will add an important dimension to a newly emerging field.

The US Public and American Foreign Policy Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy

The volume evaluates the role of organizations and movements that look to represent public opinion, and assesses the nature of their relationship with the government. The contributors utilize a number of different approaches to examine this impact, including polling data, assessments of the role of the media, and the wider consideration of ideas and ideology, moving on to examine the specific role played by the public in the policy making and policy promotion process. Engaging with new questions as well as approaching old questions from a new angle, the work argues that whilst the roles change, and the extent of influence varies, the power of the public to both initiate and constrain foreign policy clearly exists and should not be underestimated. This work will be of great interest to all those with an interest in American foreign policy, American politics and American history. . CONTENTS 1.

It focuses on two of the most pertinent issues in Indian religion, the history of vegetarianism and cow-veneration, and its historical approach remains relevant to this day. With reference to significant brahminical texts, such as key chapters of the Book of Manu, the book centres on the author’s analysis of the role of Jinism in the history of vegetarianism. The author explores the history of meateating in India and its relationship to religious thought and custom, and searches for solutions to the problem of cattle veneration. Besides a comprehensive translation of the original German manuscript "Beiträge zur Geschichte von Vegetarismus und Rinderverehrung in Indien", four important articles directly related to Alsdorf’s work by Kapadia, Heesterman and Schmidt are made available in this new edition. These additional contributions and careful notes by the editor Willem Bollée add a modern perspective to a study that remains a key reference for students and scholars of Religious Studies, Asian Studies and History.

This book examines the revival of Church Slavonic, relating it to a wide range of contemporary social and cultural developments in contemporary Russia, including debates about protecting Russia from western cults and culture, debates about recovering pre-revolutionary traditions and articulating Russian/Orthodox identities, and to factionalism and renewal within the Orthodox Church. It thereby explores the revival of orthodoxy in Russia not from the standpoint of ecclesiastical politics or church-state relations, but rather through the myths, rituals, symbols, texts and discourses that span both official and popular religion in post-Soviet Russia. As such the book will be of great interest to scholars of sociolinguisitcs and of religion, as well as to Russian studies specialists. CONTENTS Introduction 1. The ABC’s of Faith 2.

Buddhism in Australia Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism
Edited by Cristina Rocha, University of Western Sydney, Australia and Michelle Barker, Further Initiatives, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56818-0; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book analyses the arrival and localisation of Buddhism in Australia in the context of the globalisation of Buddhism. In 2006, Buddhists accounted for 2.1 per cent of Australia’s population, almost doubling the 1996 figures, and making it the fastest growing religion in the country. Unlike the US and the Europe, Australia is located close to Asia, and as such has received intense flows of people, ideas, and commodities from its neighbouring countries. This book investigates the inception of Buddhism in the country whilst also providing a voice to people on the ground who have been fundamental in making this process possible. For the first time, academic analysis and practioners' experience are juxtaposed to show the adaptations and challenges of Buddhism in Australia from above and below . This book is a unique and valuable contribution to the study of Buddhism in the West.

293 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This is the first study to provide an overall interpretation of the Buddhist monument Borobudur in Indonesia. Including both the narrative reliefs and the Buddha images, the book opens up a wealth of information on Mahayana Buddhist religious ideas and practices that could have informed Borobudur and it convincingly interprets Borobudur within that context. The author explores a version of the classical Mahayana that foregrounds the importance of the visual in relation to Buddhist philosophy, cosmology, soteriology, meditation, devotion, and ritual. The absence of the living historical Buddha was a source of deep regret for classical Mahayanists, but the Buddha could be "seen" by realizing the true nature of his teaching, through visionary experience, by encountering his numinous presence in images, or through some combination of the three. Consequently the author shows that the architects of Borobudur designed a visual world in which the Buddha appeared in a variety of forms and could be interpreted in all three ways. Presenting new material, the book contributes immensely to a new and better understanding of the significance of the Borobudur for the field of Buddhist and Religious Studies. CONTENTS 1.

Interpreting the intricate entanglements of the Buddhist revivals with cultural identity, state ideology, and popular imagination of Tibetan Buddhist spirituality in contemporary China, the author explores the broader sociocultural implications of such revivals. Based on detailed cross-regional ethnographic work, this book demonstrates that the revival of Tibetan Buddhism in contemporary China is intimately bound with both the affirming and negating forces of globalization, modernity, and politics of religion, indigenous identity reclamation, and the market economy. The analysis points to the multidimensionality of Tibetan Buddhism in relation to different religious, cultural, and political constituencies of the PRC. By recognizing the greater contexts of China’s politics of religion and of the global status of Tibetan Buddhism, this book presents an argument that the revival of Tibetan Buddhism is not an isolated event limited merely to Tibetan regions; instead, it is a result of the intersection of both local and global transformative changes.

Drawing on a detailed and systematic comparative survey of existing records of Tibetan funerary practices, including historical travel accounts, anthropological and ethnographic literature, Tibetan texts and academic studies, it demonstrates that there is no standard form of funeral in Tibetan Buddhism, although certain elements are common. The structure of the book follows the twin trajectories of benefiting the deceased and protecting survivors; in the process, it reveals a rich and complex panoply of activities, some handled by religious professionals and others by lay persons. This information is examined to identify similarities and differences in practices, and the degree to which Tibetan Buddhist funeral practices are consistent with the mortuary rituals of other forms of Buddhism. A number of elements in these death rites which at first appear to be unique to Tibetan Buddhism may only be ‘Tibetan’ in their surface characteristics, while having roots in practices which pre-date the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet. Filling a gap in the existing literature on Tibetan Buddhism, this book poses research challenges that will engage future scholars in the field of Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Anthropology.

It is also a critique of modern Western and Indian interpretation of Ramanuja’s work. Placing emphasis on Ramanuja’s account of Western theistic thought, it argues for a major rethinking of what kind of account is offered and for a reversal of the tendencies of earlier interpretations. Modern Western and India studies of Ramanuja have drawn parallels with Western theistic accounts or used Western concepts to describe his thought. The author puts forward that fundamental points of convergence with classical Western theism and fundamental divergences from non-classical forms can be identified, thus reversing the tendency of earlier interpretation. It examines in detail the general comparisons that have been made and the various terms used, addressing the neglect of classical Western theism and of its relationship to Indian thought by Western and Indian scholars and furthers the proper appreciation of Ramanuja as a great Vedantic teacher.

Its perennial popularity in contemporary South Asia can hardly be overestimated. This book presents a new synthesis of philological, anthropological and cognitive-linguistic method and theory in relation to the study of narrative text by focusing on the form and function of the Mahabharata in the context of early South Asia. Arguing that the combination of structural and thematic features which have helped to establish the enduring cultural centrality of religious narrative in South Asia was first outlined in the text, the author shows the Mahabharata’s complex orientation to the cosmic, social and textual past. He demonstrates that the formation of a very specific cultural and cosmic geography is outlined most clearly in the Mahabharata. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: Studying the Story to End All Stories 2.

295 situate femininity on a continuum from divine to mortal existence. This creates in the Hindu consciousness multiple - often contradictory - images of women, both as wielders and subjects of authority. The conception and evolution of the major Hindu goddesses, placed against the judgments passed by texts of Hindu sacred law on women’s nature and duties, illuminate the Hindu discourse on gender, the complexity of which is compounded by the distinctive spirituality of female ascetic poets. Drawing on a wide range of Sanskrit texts, the author explains how the idea of the goddess has been derived from Hindu philosophical ideas and also from the social roles of women as reflected in, and prescribed by, texts of codes of conduct. She examines the idea of female divinity which gave rise to models of conduct for mortal women. Instead of a one-way order of ideological derivation, the author argues that there is constant traffic between both ways the notional and the actual feminine. This book brings together for the first time a wide range of material and offers fresh stimulating interpretations of women in the Hindu Tradition. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Health and Religious Rituals in South Asia Routledge South Asian Religion Series
Fabrizio Ferrari, University of Chester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $145.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56145-7; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is the first analysis of the concept of disease, possesion and healing in the major South Asian religious traditions. It discusses forms of divine possession or affliction and health issues at the crossroad of religious studies and medical anthropology. In order to avoid the classic, and problematic, chronological subdivision of religions according to their structure, the book is divided in four geographical areas with the city of Varanasi, a highly powerful site in South Asia, symbolically identified as the centre. Through this framework, the book emphasises the centrality of bodily and psychological experiences, both individual and collective, as ways to understanding and explaining religion in South Asian cultural contexts. It shows that debates over South Asian indigenous understandings of disease as forms of possession or affliction have come to gain visibility in and around discussions of social and religious matters as well as the constitution of community and gendered identities, At a time where the insurgence of new pandemics and a growing debate on health issues in a religious context is prominent, this timely contribution facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of South Asian cultures. It consolidates and promotes indigenous ways to understanding physical and mental imbalances through diverse conceptualisations of the divine. CONTENTS Preface Fabrizio M.

Rethinking Religion in India Routledge South Asian Religion Series
Edited by Esther Bloch, Marianne Keppens, both of Ghent University, Belgium, and Rajaram Hegde, Kuvempu University, India PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £80.00 $130.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-54890-8; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book critically assesses recent debates about the colonial construction of Hinduism. Increasingly scholars have come to realise that the dominant understanding of Indian culture and its traditions is unsatisfactory. According to the classical paradigm, Hindu traditions are conceptualized as features of a religion with distinct beliefs, doctrines, sacred laws and holy texts. Today, however, many academics consider this conception to be a colonial ‘construction’. This book focuses on the different versions, arguments and counter-arguments of the thesis that the Hindu religion is a construct of colonialism.

296 emerged from the debate on the construction of Hinduism. Where some of the contributors argue that Hinduism was created as a result of a western Christian notion of religion and the imperatives of British colonialism, others show that this religion already existed in pre-colonial India; and as an alternative to these standpoints, other writers argue that Hinduism only exists in the European experience and does not correspond to any empirical reality in India. This volume offers new insights into the nature of the construction of religion in India and will be of interest to scholars of the History of Religion, Asian Religion, Postcolonial and South Asian Studies.

Adam Smith as Theologian Routledge Studies in Religion

But what impact did these ideas have on Smith’s system? What was Smith’s understanding of nature, divine providence, and theodicy? How was the new discourse of political economy positioned in relation to moral philosophy and theology? This book considers the theological background and meaning of Smith’s work, opening up a dialogue between economists and theologians. Adam Smith as Theologian gathers a group of eminent economists, historians, philosophers, and theologians to reflect on these questions, examining the extent to which even contemporary economics may contain residues of Smith’s theological mores.

Christianity and Party Politics Routledge Studies in Religion and Politics

The book focuses on the important role of the Church in both electoral politics and public policy formulation in twenty first century Britain, and argues that contrary to the established secularisation argument, religion continues to be a powerful influence within British politics. Recent high profile debates over how society should regulate issues related to the sanctity of life place this highly topical study at the forefront of current debate. With no written constitution or bill of rights, Britain has become a specific model for how western liberal democracies are being forced to deal with these types of challenges. The big political questions in Britain today continue to concern moral, as well as socio-economic, affairs – for example, stem cell research, the environment, and the right to free speech and movement. Steven begins by examining the basics of electoral and party behaviour in Britain and how religious affiliation has traditionally influenced the way people choose to vote, and how recent surveys have suggested it continues to do so. Moving on to discuss how this affects the behaviour of party politicians, the role of the Christian church as an interest group is analysed; to what extent are these major societal institutions continuing to influence public policy decisions? Broadening the debate out to the international context, the work evaluates how the relationship between party politics and religion in Britain has been affected by global factors, for example, the ‘war on terror’, the influence of American politics, and the impact of European integration. Providing a valuable and long overdue contribution to the field, this work will provide readers with a detailed knowledge of how the worlds of politics and religion interact in modern Britain.

Rowe and Jens Zimmermann, all of Trinity Western University, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77998-2; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Politics and the Religious Imagination is the product of a group of interdisciplinary scholars each analyzing the connections between religious narratives and the construction of regional and global politics, combining a set of theoretical and philosophic insights with several case studies that represent varied geographies and religious customs. The past decade has seen increasing interest in the links between religion and politics, and this edited volume seeks to take religion seriously as a motivator of action. Few studies have attempted to bring together the multi-disciplinary work in this burgeoning field of study and this work takes a global perspective, using a variety of contexts including East-West relations to analyze the following key themes: the constructive and destructive hermeneutics of religious stories the relevance and importance of religion as a dominant political narrative the rise of new stories among groups as agents of change the way that religious narratives help to define and constrain the Other the manipulation of religious stories for political benefit This work argues that it is insufficient to judge the relationship of religion and politics through mere institutional or quantitative lenses, and this collection proves that while this promise of the narrative part of the social imaginary has been recognized in political theory to a certain extent, its influence in the realm of empirical political science has yet to be fully considered. Combining the work of a wide range of experts, this collection will be of great interests to scholars of politics, philosophy, religious studies, and the literary influence of religion. CONTENTS 1.

The headscarf has been both vehemently contested by national and/or regional governments, political parties and public intellectuals and passionately defended by veil wearing women and their supporters. Systematically applying a comparative perspective, this book addresses the basic question: why does the headscarf tantalise and cause such controversy over issues about religious pluralism, secularism, neutrality of the state, gender oppression, citizenship, migration, and multiculturalism. And as a consequence, why has it become part of the disciplinary practices of some European countries but not of others? While the need for a collection of interpretative research essays regarding the current debates on the veil in Europe has become evident for quite some time, the possibility of bringing together high quality analysis depended on the existence of a body of critical research focusing on the broad issues associated with the Muslim veil debates. This opportunity was given to the FP6-project "Values, Equality and Differences in Liberal Democracies: Debates about Muslim Headscarves in Europe (VEIL)". In this unique collection the theoretical and empirical research results of the project are presented and evaluated, offering an interdisciplinary scope and European-wide setting. The book can be seen as comprising of two main parts: Part I will put the focus on the identification of (conflicting) fundamental rights, moral values and political principles addressed in the headscarf debates by the main actors on national and European level Part II contains research results, which aim at contributing to explain the differences and similarities in regulating and legislation with regard to Muslim headscarves in the countries investigated. Utilizing a comparative perspective this work focuses on the different religious,

Humans, as individuals and as a society, should be aligned with the Dao in order to attain the fullness of life and its potential. This book presents the history of early Daoism, tracing the development of the tradition between the first and the fifth centuries CE. This was an era of political instability and social turmoil in China but it was also a period of cultural efflorescence, which saw the appearance of new forms of literature and the integration of Buddhism in Chinese society and culture. Several Daoist movements emerged during this period, the best known being the Celestial Masters in the second century. Other relatively well-known lineages include the Upper Clarity and the Numinous Treasure lineages that appeared in the fourth century. The labels applied to these lineages refer to either textual or ritual categories and are very difficult to determine socially, and they obscure the social reality of early medieval China. The author argues
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
299 that these lineages should be understood not as schools but as narrowly defined associations of masters and disciples, and he describes these diverse social groupings as "communities of practice." Shedding new light on a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, the formation of Daoism as a new religion in early medieval China, this book presents a major step forward in Daoist Studies. CONTENTS 1.

Religious specialists, lay devotees, the state machine, and the cultural industry all participated, both collaboratively and competitively, in the evolution of this devotional movement. Organized chronologically on the development of the Zhenwu worship in Daoist rituals, state religion, and popular practices, it centres on the development and transformation of the godhead of Zhenwu as well as the devotional movement focused on him. The author investigates the complicated means by which various social and political groups contested with each other in appropriating cultural-religious symbols. The question at the core of the book is how, in a given historical context, human agents and social institutions shape the religious world to which they profess devotion. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

At the level of practice, devotional Hinduism is an embodied religion and grounded in a materiality, that makes the presence of specific physical objects (which when used in worship also carry immense ritual and symbolic load) an indispensable part of its religious practices. Using the lens of ‘visuality’ and ‘materiality,’ Sinha offers insights into the everyday material religious lives of Hindus as they strive to sustain theistic, devotional Hinduism in diasporic locations--particularly Singapore, Malaysia, and Tamilnadu-where religious objects have become commodified.

The book attempts to identify and examine the means by which Pakistan might

300 make progress towards a more stable and secure future. It is innovative in at least three respects. Firstly, it argues that Pakistan’s security issues are operative at multiple levels – intra-state, state, regional and international - and that these levels are deeply interlinked and should not be considered in isolation. The work thus explores and then links analysis of security at each level in a way that has not been done before. Secondly, the book takes a broad approach to security that includes economic and social issues. As part of this, it examines security dynamics in relation to the powerful forces presently impacting South Asia, most notably globalisation, the US-led war on terrorism, the domestic clamour for peace and stability, and the strategic realignments underway -in particular, in the US-Indian-Pakistan relationship and in the China-India-Pakistan relationship. Thirdly, the book draws on the 'Security Community' ideas of Deutsch. This theory argues that states can move their core strategic relationship towards a less conflictual and eventually stable and peaceful situation through economic, political and social interaction, as well as politico-military engagement. This book will be of great interest to all scholars of South Asian politics, Asian regional security and IR in general. CONTENTS 1. Inside the Pakistani State 2.

Arguing that these three powers will play a key role in establishing and managing a new world order, the contributors examine how a future global order is developed by the interaction of these leading actors in the international system. The authors also address how the US, China and the EU promote cooperation and manage conflict of interests on a wide spectrum of issues including new security challenges. By linking the management of international affairs to specific policy issues, the book shows that the US-China-EU triangular configuration is a pivotal relationship for understanding contemporary international relations. This book offers a comprehensive assessment of US-China-EU interactions and will be of great interest to students of Asian politics, US foreign policy, EU politics and security studies and IR in general.

Focusing primarily on deviations from the traditional norm of universal military service, the book compares the emergence of a new type of "citizen army" in Israel with the formats that have in recent decades become evident in other western democracies. In addition, these essays correct the conventional tendency to concentrate almost exclusively on the influences stimulating military institutional change in the West, and thereby to

Citizenship is a key concept in Western political thought for defining the individual’s relations with society. The specific nature of these rights, duties and contributions, as well the relations between them, are determined by the citizenship discourses that prevail in each society. In wartime, including low-intensity wars, democratic societies face different challenges than the ones facing them during peacetime, in areas such as human rights, the status of minorities, the state’s obligations to its citizens, and the meaning of social solidarity. War situations can affect not only the scope of citizenship as an institution, but also the relations between the prevailing discourses of citizenship and between different groups of citizens. Since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'war on terror', many democracies have been grappling with issues rising out of the interface between citizenship and war. This volume examines the effects of war on various aspects of citizenship practice, including: immigration and naturalization, the welfare state, individual liberties, gender relations, multiculturalism, social solidarity, and state – civil society relations. This book will be of great interest to students of military studies, political science, IR and security studies in general.

302 In the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), the EU has acquired an operational military dimension, which has two objectives: (1) equipping the EU with the institutions and procedures to plan for, decide on and implement military (and civilian) operations abroad; and (2) enhancing the quality and quantity of deployable military capabilities at the disposal of the EU. Great progress has been achieved on the institutional side, but the capabilities side is lagging behind as the bottom-up nature of the capability-building process has made for slow progress. This book assesses: • how the bottom-up nature of the capability dimension of the ESDP and the resulting persisting national focus of EU Member States (each striving for full capacity at the national level) impede the generation of deployable capabilities for the EU (and therefore for NATO as well); • whether a reorientation towards capacity at the aggregate EU-level and the introduction of top-down coordination is achievable; • how such reorientation, via pooling of national assets into multinational frameworks and reduction of intra-EU duplication, could generate more deployable capabilities within the existing and expected budgetary context. This book adds flesh to the bone structure of the idea of far-reaching military integration by elaborating a possible size and composition of a ‘European army’ and assessing in more detail how it can be achieved. It then puts that firmly in the context of conceptual thinking about the nature of the EU as an international actor. This book will be of interest to students of military studies, European Politics and Strategic Studies. CONTENTS Introduction 1. EU Ambitions 2. EU Forces 3. EU Command 4. EU Civilian Capabilities 5.

Examining the challenges faced by policymakers and military commanders in conducting military operations, this book considers the benefits of conventional management and organisation theory for the military. At the same time, these essays recognise that the military should be considered as a highly individual organisation, operating in exceptional circumstances. This awareness of the differences between the military and other organisations generates important lessons not only for the military but also for general organisations as it teaches them how to cope in exceptional, ‘hyper’ conditions. These theoretical lessons are illustrated by case studies and experiences from recent military operations, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book will be of great interest to students of military studies, security studies and organizational studies. Joseph Soeters chairs the department of management and organization studies and defence economy at the Netherlands Defense Academy and he is a professor in organizational sociology at Tilburg University. Paul. C. van Fenema is an associate professor of organization studies at the Netherlands Defence Academy and Tilburg University.

Modern War and the Utility of Force Cass Military Studies

After the Cold War, Western armed forces have increasingly been called upon to intervene in internal conflicts in the former Third World. These forces have been called upon to carry out missions that they traditionally have not been trained and equipped for, in environments that they often have not been prepared for. A number of these ‘new’ types of operations in allegedly ‘new’ wars stand out, such as peace enforcement, state-building, counterinsurgency, humanitarian aid, and not the least counter-terrorism. The success rate of these missions has, however, been mixed, providing fuel for an increasingly loud debate on the utility of force in modern war. This edited volume poses as its central question: what is in fact the utility of force? Is force useful for anything other than a complete conventional defeat of a regular opponent, who is confronted in the open field? This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, war and conflict studies, counterinsurgency, security studies and IR.

Technology and the Mid-Victorian Royal Navy Cass Series: Naval Policy and History
Howard J. Fuller, University of Wolverhampton, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-37004-2; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A revealing new examination of Palmerstonian diplomacy during the pivotal decade of the 1860s, the evolution of the modern capital ship and the real nature of ‘empire’, ‘technology’ and ‘seapower’. In contrast to the standard image of the mid-Victorian Royal navy as all-powerful, Howard Fuller shows how it suffered serious challenges in this period. Global naval supremacy was no longer ‘unassailable’ or certain. He skilfully demonstrates how what was good naval practice during the Trent Affair was no longer good in the American Civil War once the Unionist side introduced the ‘monitor’ form of Ironclad, which deliberately forfeited longer-range power-projection for local, coastal ‘command of the sea’. Technology had pitted tactically based, national powers of defence against strategically based imperial ones – and had intertwined with modern civilian-military debates. How the Royal Navy addressed this issue, successfully or not, and how such decision-making at Whitehall affected that at Westminster is explored using a wealth of international primary and secondary sources. This book will be of great interest to all students of the Royal Navy, and of maritime and strategic studies in general.
Statebuilding and Justice Reform Cass Series on Peacekeeping
Matteo Tondini PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 172pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55894-5; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The book provides an updated account of justice reform in Afghanistan, which started in the wake of the US-led military intervention of 2001. In particular, it focuses on the role of international actors and their interaction with local stakeholders, highlighting some provisional results, together with problems and dilemmas encountered in the reform activities. Since the mid-1990s, justice system reform has become increasingly important in state-building operations, particularly with regard to the international administrations of Bosnia, Kosovo, East Slavonia and East Timor. Statebuilding and Justice Reform examines in depth the reform of justice in Afghanistan, evaluating whether the success of reform may be linked to any specific feature or approach. In doing so, it stresses the need for development programmes in the field of justice to be implemented through a multilateral approach, involving domestic authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Success is therefore linked to limiting the political interests of donors; establishing functioning pooled financing mechanisms; restricting the use of bilateral projects; improving the efficacy of technical and financial aid; and concentrating the attention on the ‘demand for justice’ at local level rather than on the traditional supply of financial and technical assistance. This book will be of much interest to students of Afghanistan, intervention and statebuilding, peacekeeping, and post-conflict reconstruction, as well as International Relations in general. Matteo Tondini is a researcher and a legal advisor. He has served as a project advisor to the Embassy of Italy in Kabul, Development Cooperation Unit, working within the ‘Afghanistan Justice Program’ and has a Phd in Political Systems and Institutional Change, from the Institute of Advanced Studies, Lucca, Italy.

Negotiating with Terrorists Cass Series on Political Violence
Guy Olivier Faure, Sorbonne University, France and I. William Zartman, Johns Hopkins University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56629-2; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This edited volume addresses the important issue of negotiating with terrorists, and offers recommendations for best practice and processes. Hostage negotiation is the process of trying to align two often completely polarised parties. Authorities view hostage taking as unacceptable demands made by unacceptable means. However terrorists view their actions as completely justified, even on moral and religious grounds. If they are to try and reconcile these two sides, it is essential for hostage negotiators to understand terrorist culture, the hostage takers’ profiles, their personality, their view of the world and also the authorities, their values and their framing of the problem raised by the taking of hostages. Although not advocating negotiating with terrorists, the volume seeks to analyse when, why, and how it is done. Part I deals with the theory and quantifiable data produced from analysis of hostage situations, while Part II explores several high profile case studies and the lessons that can be learnt from them. This volume will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies, conflict management, negotiation, security studies and IR in general.

Political and Military Evolution of Irish Republican Groups Cass Series on Political Violence

The book offers the first comparative study of the two leading Irish republican terrorist movements: the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA. It presents the lesser-known Officials’ political-military evolution and analyses whether they could have been role models for the Provisionals, who called their seminal ceasefire twenty-two years after their rivals (1972 and 1994, respectively). In short, it discusses whether the PIRA might have learned lessons from the bitter and ultimately unsuccessful experience of the Officials . The book assesess the post-ceasefire evolutions of these movements and unearths new interpretations about a well-known terrorist group (PIRA) through studying it comparatively with its neighbours, ideological comrades and immediate competitors. This book will be of much interest to students of Irish politics, terrorism studies, security studies and politics in general. CONTENTS

It makes a clear distinction between a murder, an assassination and a political assassination although there may indeed be some overlap between the terms. Suchitra Dutta analyzes the various justifications that can be used in order to assess whether or not political assassinations can ever be justified, particularly focusing on the consequentialist/utilitarianist approach, the Just War tradition, and terroristic justification. Discussing specific cases such as those of Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin and Rajiv Gandhi, it provides an analysis of the contemporary state of the political assassination regime. Political Assassinations and International Politics will be of interest to academics working on terrorism, security and ethics related issues. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Definitions 3.

Terrorism, Identity, and Legitimacy Cass Series on Political Violence
Edited by Jean Rosenfeld PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57857-8; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This edited collection is a critical examination of the significance of history, religion and 'transcendent purpose' on the successive waves of terror that have assaulted and shocked modern societies, and is inspired by David Rapoport's research. The perspectives here favour an interdisciplinary approach to terrorism studies that is diachronic, as well as synchronic; comparative, and inductive, as well as deductive. Above all, this approach questions and challenges conventional wisdom and welcomes critical and surprising divergent ideas into the emerging theory about what David Rapoport terms 'extralegal violence'. This collection is both theoretical and empirically grounded in actual cases. The contributors’ scholarship ranges across disciplines to include methodology and substantive

307 ideas from political science, anthropology, the philosophy of language, gender studies, forensics and profiling, and the sociology and history of religions. In summary, the aim of Terrorism, Legitimacy, and Identity: Interdisciplinary Perspectives is to discuss David Rapoport’s contributions to the understanding of terrorist phenomena in human political experience; and to provide diverse, new perspectives on the stubborn challenge of waves of terrorism to sovereign states that struggle to develop and/or maintain their selfidentity. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, religion, sociology, war and conflict studies and IR in general.
Terrorist Groups and the New Tribalism Cass Series on Political Violence
Jeffrey Kaplan, University of Wisconsin, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-45338-7; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The central focus of this book is a small but vitally important group of movements that constitute a distinct 'fifth wave' of modern terrorism, here called the "New Tribalism". Terrorist Groups and the New Tribalism examines a collection of terrorist or insurgent movements whose similarity in tactics, strategic vision and desire to radically reshape their worlds to conform with a ‘Golden Age’ dream of perfection which is to be achieved through a genocidal or ethnic cleansing process to make way for the emergence of a new, radically perfected tribal utopia in a single generation. These shared strategic and tactical factors allow them to be examined through a comparative lens as a distinct ‘fifth wave’ of modern terrorism. Structured around the theoretical framework of David Rapoport’s Four Waves thesis, the book examines anomalous movements that began within a distinct wave of international terrorism, but, following a crisis model, has turned inwards toward radical localism, tribalism and xenophobia. The text is divided between theory and in depth case studies of the Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army and the Sudanese Janjaweed. It concludes with a design for further, field-work based research. This book will be of interest to students of Terrorism and Political Violence, Genocide, Conflict Studies, African politics and Political Science in general. Jeffrey Kaplan is an Associate Professor of Religion and the Director of the Institute for the Study of Religion, Violence and Memory at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. He is the author of 11 books on terrorism and political violence. CONTENTS Introduction Part 1: Theory 1. Terrorism and Religious Violence 2. Rapoport’s Four Waves Theory Revisited 3.

The Globalization of the Cold War Cold War History
Edited by Max Guderzo and Bruna Bagnato, University of Florence, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 188pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55226-4; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book focuses on the globalisation of the Cold War in the years 1975-85, highlighting the transformation from bipolar US-Soviet competition to global confrontation. Offering a detailed analysis of this fundamental shift that occurred during this period, as well as the interconnections of this process with the new industrial-technological revolution, this book demonstrates how the United States returned to a position of global economic leadership. In so doing, the book aims to challenge the traditional and misleading paradigm that interprets the gradual development of the Cold War in basic bipolar terms; in fact, most of the factors triggering superpower attitudes and interplay were linked to a complex web of relations with their allies, as well as to the political, economic, social, ideological and military factors structurally intrinsic to the ‘peripheral’ regions where the confrontation actually took place. Many of the essays in this volume focus on the foreign and security policies of the United States, with the aim of reassessing the Carter administration as the foundation for Reagan’s final show-down with the Soviet Union. The contributors, however, go beyond the traditional patterns of foreign policy analysis, giving due attention to transnational phenomena and institutional histories that better explain the gradual transformation in the years that prepared the world for the post-Cold War globalisation era. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War studies, international history, US foreign policy, European politics and IR in general.

Smith in the 1980s, of which only three volumes of a projected five was completed. The most recent volume was published more than a decade ago in 1991 and it brought the story of the Vietnam War up till 1966. This book takes up the story where it stopped – The Manila Conference and the Decisions of November 1966 through to the end of the conflict in April 1975. It adopts the same ‘formula/methodology’ as the earlier volumes by: following a tight chronology examining the decisions of both sides of the war simultaneously when appropriate relate the war to the regional and global perspective at every stage in the evolution of the conflict. The author makes use of a far greater body of communist and non-communist sources which were not available in the preCold War period when Professor Smith began his study. International History of the Vietnam War will be of interest to students of the Vietnam War, Southeast Asian history, US foreign policy, and international history in general.
Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union in the Early Cold War Cold War History

At the time, this process had shocked the World as much as the violent break-up of their relations did in 1948. This new book provides an explanation for the collapse of the process of normalization of Yugoslav-Soviet that occurred at the end of 1956 and the renewal of their ideological confrontation. It alsos explain the motives that guided the two main protagonists, Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia and the Soviet leader Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev. This book establishes several pioneering theses. Firstly, that the significance of the Yugoslav-Soviet reconciliation went beyond their bilateral relationship. It had ramifications for relations in the Eastern Bloc, the global Communist movement, and on the dynamics of the Cold War world at its crucial juncture. Secondly, that the Yugoslav-Soviet reconciliation brought forward the process of de-Stalinization in the USSR and in the Peoples’ Democracies. Thirdly, that it enabled Khrushchev to win the post-Stalin leadership contest. Lastly, the book argues that the process of Yugoslav-Soviet reconciliation permitted Tito to embark, together with Nehru of India and Nasser of Egypt upon creating the new entity in the bi-polar Cold War world – the Non-aligned movement. This book will be of much interest to Cold War historians and students of international relations and postwar European history. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Overtures 2. Normalisation 3. Comradeship 4.

309 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores a range of biohealth and biosecurity threats, places them in context, and offers responses and solutions from global and local, networked and pyramidal, as well as specialized and interdisciplinary perspectives. Specifically covering bioterrorism, emerging infectious diseases, pandemic disease preparedness and remediation, agroterroism, food safety, and environmental issues, the contributors demonstrate that to counter terrorism of any kind, a global, networked, and multidisciplinary approach is essential. To be successful in biosecurity, this book argues it is necessary to extend partnerships, cooperation, and co-ordination between public health, clinical medicine, private business, law enforcement and other agencies locally, nationally and internationally. Internationally, a clear understanding is needed of what has happened in past epidemics and what was accomplished in past bioprograms (in Britain, South Africa, Russia, for example). This book also assesses how, with the right technology and motivation, both a state and a nonstate actor could initiate an extremely credible biothreat to security at both local and national levels. This book will be of much interest to students, researchers and practitioners of security studies, public health, public policy and IR in general. Peter Katona is Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Infectious Diseases. He is co-founder of Biological Threat Mitigation, a bioterror consulting firm. John P. Sullivan is a lieutenant with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

The author undertakes an examination of presidential speeches and public documents from this period to determine the focal points on which the respective presidents based their rhetoric for war. The work then examines the practice of war in the light of these justifications to determine whether changes in justifications correlate with changes in practice. In particular, the justificatory discourse finds four key themes that emerge in the presidential discourses, which are tracked across the case studies and point to the fundamental driving force in US motivations for going to war. The four key themes which emerge from the data are: international law or norms; human rights; national interest; and egoist morality (similar too, but wider than, 'exceptionalism'). This analysis shows that 9/11 resulted in a radical shift away from an international law and human rights-focused justificatory discourse, to one which was overwhelmingly dominated by egoist-morality justifications and national interest. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, humanitarian intervention, Security Studies, and IR theory. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.

Multipolarity in the 21st Century Contemporary Security Studies
Edited by Donette Murray and David Brown, both of Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47547-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book seeks to help shape the debate surrounding power and polarity in the twenty-first century both by assessing the likelihood of US decline and by analysing what each of the so-called 'rising powers' can do (in terms of 'hard' and 'soft' power), what they want to do (i.e. foreign and security policy), and the weaknesses and obstacles that may hinder their continued development. In doing so, it will examine the implications of a multipolar world for international security. American supremacy has generated intense debate surrounding both the nature and quality of this power, as well as the execution and thrust of US foreign policy. At the same time, significant developments in four rising powers - China, Russia, India and the European Union – have provoked analysts to ask whether multipolarity is a realistic prospect. Such a development may result from a rebalancing occasioned by US decline or because the US, still hugely powerful, is joined by two or more of these states (or - in the case of the EU – a collection of states). To be considered a ‘pole’, the potential competitors to the US will have to either amass sufficient power in all of Waltz’s categories of power (including population size, territory, resources, economic wealth, military strength and ‘competence’) or manage to reshape the power paradigm to reflect a new kind of superpower. Written by a combination of emerging scholars and recognised experts, this volume will provide a timely and authoritative analysis of one of the most controversial and compelling security debates of the twenty-first century. The book will appeal to students of International Relations, Security Studies and Foreign Policy. CONTENTS Introduction Donette Murray 1. The American Eagle Rob Singh 2.

Private Security Contractors and New Wars Contemporary Security Studies
Kateri Carmola, Middlebury College, Vermont, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-77171-9; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book addresses the ambiguities of the growing use of private security contractors and provides guidance as to how our expectations about regulating this expanding ‘service’ industry will have to be adjusted. In the warzones of Iraq and Afghanistan many of those who carry weapons are not legally combatants, nor are they protected civilians. They are contracted by governments, businesses, and NGOs to provide armed security. Often mistaken as members of armed forces, they are instead part of a new protean proxy force that works alongside the military in a multitude of shifting roles, and overseen by a matrix of contracts and regulations. This book analyzes the growing industry of these private military and security companies (PMSCs) used in warzones and other high risk areas. PMSCs are the result of a unique combination of circumstances, including a change in the idea of soldiering, insurance industry analyses that require security contractors, and a need for governments to distance themselves from potentially criminal conduct. The book argues that PMSCs are a unique type of organization, combining attributes from worlds of the military, business, and humanitarian organizations. This makes them particularly resistant to oversight. The legal status of these companies and those they employ is also hard to ascertain, which weakens the multiple regulatory tools available. PMSCs also fall between the cracks in ethical debates about their use, seeming to be both justifiable and objectionable. This transformation in military operations is a seemingly irreversible product of more general changes in the relationship between the individual citizen and the state. This book will be of much interest to students of private security companies, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR in general. Kateri Carmola is the Christian A. Johnson Professor of Political Science at Middlebury College in Vermont. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Rethinking Security Governance Contemporary Security Studies

311 HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48535-7; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book explores the unintended consequences of security governance actions and explores how their effects can be limited. Security governance describes new modes of security policy that differ from traditional approaches to national and international security. While traditional security policy used to be the exclusive domain of states and aimed at military defense, security governance is performed by multiple actors and is intended to create a global environment of security for states, social groups, and individuals. By pooling the strength and expertise of states, international organizations, and private actors, security governance is seen to provide more effective and efficient means to cope with today’s security risks. Generally, security governance is assumed to be a good thing, and the most appropriate way of coping with contemporary security problems. This assumption has led scholars to neglect an important phenomenon: unintended consequences. While unintended consequences do not need to be negative, often they are. The CIA term "blowback," for example, refers to the phenomenon that a long nurtured group may turn against its sponsor. The rise of al Qaeda, which had benefited from US Cold War policies, is only one example. Raising awareness about unwanted and even paradoxical policy outcomes and suggesting ways of avoiding damage or limiting their scale, this book will be of much interest to students of security governance, risk management, international security and IR.

Under Putin and Medvedev, Russia has developed from a neglected regional power into a self-declared resurgent superpower. Russia’s background in the former Soviet Union as well as close ties with the upcoming new powers of China and India served as spring-boards towards regaining an influential status in the world. Simultaneously, Moscow developed an assertive policy towards the West and unwilling neighbours, culminating in August 2008 in an armed conflict with Georgia. Reviewing this decade of Russian international security policy, this book analyses major security documents, military reforms and Moscow’s policy actions to provide an assessment of the future of Russian security policy. This book will be of much interest to students of Russian politics and foreign policy, European politics and Security Studies and IR in general. Marcel de Haas is Senior Fellow on military doctrine, strategy and security policy of the Netherlands, NATO, EU, Russia and the CIS at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations.

Understanding NATO in the 21st Century Contemporary Security Studies
Edited by Graeme P. Herd, Geneva Centre for Security Policy, Switzerland and John Kriendler, George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-43633-5; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This volume provides an overview of the evolution of NATO, alliances and global security governance in the twenty-first century. For so-long the cornerstone of the transatlantic partnership, the evolution of NATO has profound implications for the co-operative or competitive nature of transatlantic relations and regional and global security governance. As NATO moves into the twenty-first century its role, purpose, utility and very existence as the core transatlantic security alliance is increasingly questioned. For many observers with a more profound understanding of the evolution of NATO, such self-doubt has been a constant feature of NATO throughout its existence. But contemporary debates that question the utility of NATO and its collective security role do appear more strident, extreme and are expressed in a more determined fashion than arguments between allies on how best to secure the Cold War collective defence role. The Iraq War widened the spectrum of opinion as to NATO’s future to an unprecedented degree. An interesting feature of this intense debate is that only the extremes tend to prick public consciousness – NATO as train-wreck or NATO in robust and rude health. Understanding NATO in the 21st Century will appeal to students of NATO, international security and international relations in general. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: NATO 20/20 2. NATO Transformation 3.

313 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Vietnam War has generated significant diplomatic and cultural influences on US foreign policy. This book explores the construction and interaction of US collective memory with the politics of US intervention since the late 1960s. On the one hand, the United States drew lessons that after Vietnam it had to demonstrate its resolve and credibility through the continued use of force, yet there were considerable domestic constraints to doing so generated from collective memories. On the other hand, military power was one of the areas in which the US still remained supreme and this was especially important at a time when economic competition was felt more acutely. It depended on continued engagement and intervention, just at a time when its collective memory and external opposition was growing. The author looks at the formation, sites and reception of US collective memory, situated within the debate on the politics of identity. The significance of this concerns the power of the US to intervene and at times to go to war (beyond the strict constitutional remit). But it is also about the evolution of strategies adapted by the United States to deal with the collective memory of defeat in Vietnam. US Collective Memory, Intervention and Vietnam will be of great interest to students of US foreign policy, US politics and strategic studies and international relations in general.

US Hegemony and International Legitimacy Contemporary Security Studies
Lavina Rajendram Lee, Macquarie University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55236-3; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines US hegemony and international legitimacy in the post-Cold War era, focusing on its leadership in the two wars on Iraq. The preference for unilateral action in foreign policy under the Bush Administration, culminating in the use of force against Iraq in 2003, has unquestionably created a crisis in the legitimacy of US global leadership. Of central concern is the ability of the United States to act without regard for the values and interests of its allies or for international law on the use of force, raising the question: does international legitimacy truly matter in an international system dominated by a lone superpower? US Hegemony and International Legitimacy explores the relationship between international legitimacy and hegemonic power through an in depth examination of two case studies – the Gulf Crisis of 1990-91 and the Iraq Crisis of 2002-03 – and examines the extent to which normative beliefs about legitimate behaviour influenced the decisions of states to follow or reject US leadership. The findings of the book demonstrate that subordinate states play a crucial role in consenting to US leadership and endorsing it as legitimate and have a significant impact on the ability of a hegemonic state to maintain order with least cost. Understanding of the importance of legitimacy will be vital to any attempt to rehabilitate the global leadership credentials of the United States under the Obama Administration. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, IR theory and security studies.

The EU and Counter-Terrorism Contemporary Terrorism Studies

Few studies have looked at how the European Union has transformed into a relevant international anti-terrorist actor. Yet, as a reaction to the terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London, the European Union has become increasingly active in the field of counterterrorism. It has acted to coordinate member states’ policies, to harmonise national legislation, and even to support operational work conducted by national authorities. The EU’s reaction to the threat of transnational terrorism has been complex and multidimensional, ranging from the exchange of information between police and intelligence agencies to judicial cooperation, and from infrastructure protection to the fight against terrorist recruitment and financing. This book offers a comprehensive empirical account of the polity, policy and politics of EU counter-terrorism, based on an analysis of academic literature, official documents, and about fifty interviews with policy-makers, experts and practitioners carried out at EU institutions (i.e. Commission, Council, Eurojust, Europol), Permanent Representations of the EU Member States and national capitals.This book will be of much interest to students of counter-terrorism, EU politics and security studies.

This multicultural study of counter-terrorism strategies identifies common lessons from failed and successful attempts to counter the terrorist threat and provides guidelines for an effective counter-terrorism strategy. The book explores the changing dynamics of terrorism from a range of perspectives – from the global threat posed by home-grown terrorism in North Africa and the larger security dimensions in the Middle East, to the various strategies employed by western and non-western societies in their efforts to develop effective counterterrorism strategies. Core themes in the book include the divergent dynamics of the phenomena categorised under the 'terrorism' label, and the domestic, national and regional variants of international terrorism. As such, the book offers in-depth analysis of the relationship between the local and the global, both in the root causes of, and responses to, terrorism since 9/11. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence, security studies and IR.

Talking to Terrorists Contemporary Terrorism Studies
Carolin Goerzig PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57997-1; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the doctrine of giving no concessions to terrorists, and uses empirical research to establish whether there is any link between negotiating with such groups and the spread of violence. The logic of the no-concessions doctrine is based on the argument that other terrorist groups multiply when they realize that terrorism succeeds in achieving political goals. Proponents of the no-concessions doctrine have argued that there is a pattern in terrorist contagion which results from giving in to their demands. Statistical evidence for terrorist contagion is not convincing enough, however, as depicting an increase in terrorist incidences as a consequence of concessions could merely imply a flawed causality. Without an explanation for such correlations we are left wondering whether other reasons could be decisive in the increase in terrorist actions. Based on field research in four countries and interviews with current and former members of several different terrorist groups, this book establishes a qualitative relationship between concessions to terrorists on the one hand and (non-)contagion of other terrorist groups on the other. The deterrence effect, intended by the imperative never to concede, is seriously challenged. In fact, it can be precisely through concessions that groups mentalities and actions are called into question. The book will be of great interest to students of terrorism and political violence, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR/politics.

European–American Relations and the Middle East CSS Studies in Security and International Relations
Edited by Victor Mauer and Daniel Möckli, both of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich, Switzerland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 272pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47664-5; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the evolution of European-American relations with the Middle East since 1945. Placing the current transatlantic debates on the Middle East into a broader context, this work analyses how, why, and to what extent European and US roles, interests, threat perceptions, and policy attitudes in the region have changed, relating to both the region as a whole and the two main issues analysed: Gulf Security and the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The contributors then go on to discuss the implications of these developments for Western policymaking. The volume makes four key contributions. First, it examines the subject matter from a truly transatlantic perspective, with all chapters adopting a bi- or multilateral approach, taking into account the views from both the US and individual European countries or the EC/EU collectively. Second, the book takes a long-term view, covering a series of crises and developments over the past six decades. Third, it has a systematic structure, with the predominantly chronological order of the chapters being geared towards depicting trends and evolutions with regard to the key themes of the book. Finally, the book builds bridges between historians and political scientists/analysts, as well as between experts of transatlantic relations and Middle East scholars. This book will be of great interest to students of transatlantic relations, the Middle East, US foreign policy, European politics, international history and IR in general. Daniel Möckli is a Senior Researcher at the Center for Security Studies (CSS), ETH Zurich. He is also the editor of CSS Analyses in Security Policy.

Geopolitics for the 21st Century Geopolitical Theory
Edited by Leonard Hochberg and James D. Hardy Jr., both of Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-43392-1; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This edited volume assesses the geopolitical configuration of forces in the international arena at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Since the end of the Cold War, the international arena has entered a period of transition. Although the United States emerged as the victor in the Cold War, there is considerable disagreement among foreign policy elites over what its role should be: a stealth empire, an overt hegemon, a policeman of the maritime-commercial commons or to withdraw from its international commitments and protect the homeland from new and dangerous threats. Six years ago, the United States appeared to be the uncontested superpower of the post-Cold War era, but terrorism, asymmetrical warfare, conflicts over strategic goods (such as oil and minerals), and the quest for a defence against missiles launched by rogue states, have produced considerable uncertainty. In response to structural (economic and military) changes and changes in the perception of American power, regional powers are vying for status in the international order. Geopolitics for the 21st Century will be of interest to students of geopolitics, strategic studies and international relations. CONTENTS Introduction Leonard Hochberg and James D. Hardy, Jr. 1.

Venier Pascal, University of Salford, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-36932-9; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION British Imperial geographer and politician Sir Halford Mackinder is generally considered to be one of the founding fathers of geopolitics. The aim of this book is to provide a long overdue reconsideration of his contribution to the history of strategy. In doing so, it will provide a critical review of his geopolitical writings; an exploration of other key aspects of Mackinder’s strategic thought and his ideas on grand strategy; as well as an analysis of the context of his strategic work, and its implications, both as part of a broader policy agenda and in terms of the actual impact on British policy-making.
Insuring Security Interventions

317 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book offers a genealogical interrogation of the relationship between security and risk through its materialisation in insurance. Empirically, the importance of insurance cannot be overstated. Insurance expenditure in 2005 was nearly three times the world’s total defence budget. However, nearly 90% of the world’s insurance premiums are currently sold in OECD countries characterising insurance as a distinctive liberal security technology. Regardless of its importance, the analysis of insurance has so far remained at a highly descriptive level and its theorisation has escaped the interest of political, security, and international relations theorists. This book aims to redress this gap. Moreover, whereas insurance provides a particular form of security central to the development of capitalist economies and liberal governance, little is known about how it relates to ethics, and power. In particular, apart from seminal analyses on the operation and function of insurance, not much is known about how it directly relates to i) changing conceptions of life, ii) evolving ways of being in the world, and iii) the orders of governance through which these are promoted and protected. This book contributes a theorisation of insurance in relation to these three ‘defining aspects of insurance’. In so doing it advances a novel contribution to the understanding of how a risk-based approach to security informs the problem of security and modernity, and in particular, it makes a novel contribution to the study of the biopolitics of security.
War, Identity and the Liberal State Interventions

The book draws on original and unique research with military personnel to take an intimate look at how soldiers negotiate, challenge, reinforce and resist the liberal state and its war machinery in their daily lives.

Focussing on the Congo, this book shows how the preservation of the existing economic and social order in the Congo was a key element in the decolonisation process and the fighting of the Cold War. It links the international aspects of British, Belgian, Angolan and Central African Federation involvement with the roles of the US and UN in order to understand how supplies to and profits from the Congo were producing growing African problems. This large Central African country played a vital, if not fully understood role, in the Cold War and proved to be a fascinating example of complex African problems of decolonisation interacting with international forces, in ways that revealed a great deal about the problems inherent in colonialism and its end. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, the UN, Cold War history and international history in general. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Using extensive fieldwork and on-the-ground interviews, the volume seeks to delve beneath the surface and understand why and how suicide operations were adopted as a sustained mechanism of engagement within the Israeli-Palestinian landscape of conflict. Challenging widespread arguments that tend to either emphasise the role of religion, particularly Islam, in propelling suicide terrorism or to trace its roots to the power struggles between Palestinian political players, this work locates the emergence and spread of this phenomenon in a complex network of interrelated factors. This multifaceted approach, combined with extensive research conducted in Israel and the Palestinian territories, enables the author to identify three core factors that fuel suicide bombing campaigns in the region. First, Palestinian suicide operations as a complex combination of instrumental and expressive violence which are adopted by rational organisations and individuals to assert power, achieve political and/or societal survival, and enable retaliation as well as competition. In other words, suicide bombings not only serve distinct political and strategic goals for both Hamas and its operatives but they also serve to convey a symbolic message to various audiences, within Israel, the Palestinian territories and around the world. Second, how suicide operations not only perform a crucial role in the formation and consolidation of Palestinian national identity but also how they are the latest manifestation of the historically entrenched norm of militant heroic martyrdom. Finally, it illustrates how political Islam is systematically employed by organisations like Hamas in order to facilitate the articulation, justification and legitimisation of suicide operations as a modern-day jihad against Israel through the means of modern interpretations and fatwas. In short, the main themes of this work counter approaches that juxtapose social and/or political motivations against religious ones in favour of studying suicide terrorism in the Palestinian territories from a combined socio-political cultural perspective which acknowledges the roles played by not only the organisation and the individual ‘martyr’ but also that of Palestinian society. This approach not only facilitates a much needed, multifaceted, holistic understanding of suicide bombings in this particular region but also yields policy-relevant lessons to address extreme political violence in other parts of the world. By adopting such a multi-level and multi-causal approach, this work fills a fundamental gap in contemporary terrorism literature. This book will be of much interest to students of Hamas, terrorism, Middle East politics and security studies. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. A Brief Political History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 3. Suicide Operations as the Convergence of Expressive and Instrumental Violence with Multiple Rationalities 4.

Radicalisation and the Media Media, War and Security
Edited by Andrew Hoskins, University of Warwick, UK, Awan Akil and Ben O'Loughlin, both of Royal Holloway, University of London, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55035-2; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The book examines the 'new' environment of conflict in the post-9/11 age, in which there appear to be emerging threats to security and stability in the shape of individuals and groups holding or espousing 'radical' views about religion, ideology, often represented in the media as oppositional to 'Western values'. This book asks what, if anything, is 'new' about these 'radicalising' discourses, how and why do these relate to 'political' acts of violence and terror, and what is the role of the mass media in promoting or hindering them? The book looks into the nature of radicalising discourses in Web 2.0 spaces and how these communications as well as acts of political violence broadcast on the web are supported and 'legitimised'. This includes exploring how the acts themselves and explanations for them on the web are 'picked up' and represented in mainstream television news media or Big Media, through the journalistic and editorial uses of words, phrases, graphics, images, and videos. It analyses how interpretations of the term 'radicalisation' are shaped by news representations through investigating audience responses, understandings and misunderstandings. Transnational in scope, this book seeks to contribute to an understanding of the connectivities and relationships that make up the new media ecology, especially those that appear to transcend the local and the global, accelerate the dissemination of radicalising discourses, and amplify media/public fears of political violence. This book will be of great interest to students of political violence/terrorism, security studies, media studies and politics. CONTENTS 1. Introduction: The Problem of Radicalisation 2. Jihadist Spaces of Legitimation 3. Antagonistic Media 4. Big Media: The Remediation of jihad 5. Audiences and Publics 6. Legitimising Jihadist Violence: The Yazidi Girl 7.

Drawing upon the author’s own previously published works, Moltke, Schlieffen and Prussian War Planning and Moltke and the German Wars, 1864-1871 , it also contains original research. The volume suggests that the General Staff was a pioneer of what became known in the twentieth century as ‘operations research’, establishing some of the framework for the modern economics of transportation. However, Moltke was much more than just a Prussian soldier and strategist. He was a best-selling author (travel writings, love letters), pioneer cartographer (Asia Minor, Rome, Silesia), dedicated lover and devoted husband, legislator, linguist, family leader, music lover, and spa devotee. Helmuth Von Moltke will appeal to students of military history and strategy, as well as historians of nineteenth century Germany. CONTENTS 1. Family 2. Youth and Education, 1890-1819 3.

Critical Perspectives on Human Security PRIO New Security Studies
Edited by David Chandler, University of Westminster, UK and Nik Hynek, Institute of International Relations, Prague, Czech Republic PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56734-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This new book presents critical approaches towards Human Security, which has become one of the key areas for policy and academic debate within Security Studies and IR. The Human Security paradigm has had considerable significance for academics, policy-makers and practitioners. Under the rubric of Human Security, security policy practices seem to have transformed their goals and approaches, re-prioritising economic and social welfare issues that were marginal to the state-based geo-political rivalries of the Cold War era. Human Security has reflected and reinforced the reconceptualisation of international security, both broadening and deepening it, and, in so doing, it has helped extend and shape the space within which security concerns inform international policy practices. However, in its wider use, Human Security has become an amorphous and unclear political concept, seen by some as progressive and radical and by others as tainted by association with the imposition of neo-liberal practices and values on non-Western spaces or as legitimizing attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan. This book is concerned with critical perspectives towards Human Security, highlighting some of the tensions which can emerge between critical perspectives which discursively radicalise Human Security within frameworks of emancipatory possibility and those which attempt to deconstruct Human Security within the framework of an externally imposed attempt to regulate and order the globe on behalf of hegemonic power. The chapters gathered in this edited collection represent a range of critical approaches which bring together alternative understandings of human security. This book will be of great interest to students of human security studies and critical security studies, war and conflict studies and international relations. CONTENTS 1.

Doucet, Saint Mary's University, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56058-0; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines global governance through Foucaultian notions of governmentality and security, as well as the complex intersections between the two. The volume explores how Foucault's understanding of the general economy of power in modern society allows us to consider the connection of two broad possible dynamics: the global governmentalization of security and the securitization of global governance. If Foucault's work on governmentality and security has found resonance in IR scholarship in recent years it is in large part due to his understanding of how these forms of power must necessarily take into account the management of circulation that, in seeking to maximize ‘good’ versus ‘bad’ circulatory flows, brings into play and problematizes the 'inside'/'outside' upon which domestic and international spaces have been traditionally understood. Indeed, Foucault introduces a set of conceptual tools that can inform our analyses of globalization, global governance and security in ways that have been left largely unexplored in the discipline of IR. Miguel de Larrinaga is Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa where he has been teaching since 2002. Marc G. Doucet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Saint Mary’s University.

Security, Risk and the Biometric State PRIO New Security Studies
J. Benjamin Muller, King's University College at University of Western Ontario, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 151pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48440-4; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines a series of questions associated with the increasing application and implications of biometrics in contemporary everyday life. In the wake of the events of 9/11, the reliance on increasingly sophisticated and invasive technologies across a burgeoning field of applications has accelerated, giving rise to the term 'biometric state'. This book explores how these ‘virtual borders’ are created and the effect they have upon the politics of citizenship and immigration, especially how they contribute to the treatment of citizens as suspects. Finally and most importantly, this text argues that the rationale of 'governing through risk' facilitates pre-emptory logics, a negligent attitude towards 'false positives', and an overall proliferation of borders and ubiquitous risk, which becomes integral to contemporary everyday life, far beyond the confined politics of national borders and frontiers. By focusing on specific sites, such as virtual borders in airports, trusted traveller programs like the NEXUS program and those delivered by airlines and supported by governmental authorities (TSA and CATSA respectively), this book raises critical questions about the emerging biometric state and its commitment and constitution vis-à-vis technology of ‘governing through risk’. This book will be of interest to students of biopolitics, critical security, surveillance studies and International Relations in general. Benjamin J. Muller is assistant professor in International Relations at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada.

In light of the emerging theories and doctrines of Network-Centric War (NCW), this book traces the philosophical backdrop against which the more common theorizations of war and its conduct take place. Tracing the historical and philosophical roots of modern war from the 17 th Century through to the present day, this book reveals that far from paralyzing the project of re-problematisating war, the emergence of NCW affords us an opportunity to rethink war in new and philosophically challenging ways. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, social theory, war studies and political theory/IR.

The approach of this book is in direct contrast with those that either view terrorism simplistically, as a clear reality threatening democratic society and thus requiring certain sorts of response, or argue, equally simplistically, that the invocation of terror is merely the ideological veil for continued capitalist exploitation. While closer in spirit to the second of these, this work does not simply dismiss the discourse on terror, but rather investigates the consequences of this discourse for the organisation of life in democratic societies. In interrogating the discourse of terror from a variety of viewpoints, this interdisciplinary text builds upon the understanding of the importance of the language of terror from a new perspective: the interconnections between discourses of terror; the material realities they at once reflect and help produce; and the specificities of particular historical circumstances. In offering an integrated approach of this sort, and founded on a base of applied philosophy, broadly conceived, the contributors offer a new contribution to both public and academic debate, and at the same time initiate a series of further interventions in Critical Terrorism Studies. This book will be of interest to students of critical terrorism studies, terrorism studies, security studies, philosophy and discourse theory.

Female Suicide Bombers Routledge Critical Terrorism Studies
V. G. Julie Rajan, Rutgers University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-55225-7; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines the phenomenon of female suicide bombings through postcolonial, Third World, feminist, and human-rights frameworks. Through those multiple contexts, the author reveal the highly complex subjectivities and social agencies of women suicide bombers in contemporary conflict situations internationally, such as Palestine, Sri Lanka, and Chechnya. In the postcolonial era, many women have executed fatal suicide bombing missions globally. Since the 1980s, Sri Lankan women, known as the Black Tigers, have carried out one-third of the suicide attacks initiated by the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) against the Sri Lankan government. In Chechnya, women known as the Black Widows have been involved in 81% of attacks against the Russian government since 2000. Many of the books published on this phenomenon have revealed interesting ways to read women bombers’ subjectivities, but do not complicate adequately the phenomenon of women bombers both inside and outside of their militant activities, or against the patriarchal, Orientalist, and Western feminist cultural and theoretical frameworks that label female bombers primarily as victims of backward cultures. In contrast, this book offers a corrective lens to the existing discourse, and encourages a more balanced evaluation of women bombers by exploring them also through postcolonial, Third World feminist, and women’s and human rights cultural and theoretical frameworks. Through those multiple contexts, this book reveals the highly complex subjectivities and social agencies of women suicide bombers in contemporary conflict situations. This book will be of interest to students of terrorism, gender studies and security studies in general. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Gender, Deviance, and Narrative Violence 2. Negotiating "Victims" 3.

This work investigates an extensive array of violent phenomena and actors, trying to broaden the scope and ambition of the history of terrorism studies. It combines an extensive reading of state and terrorist discourse from various sources with theorizing of modernity’s political, institutional and ideological development, forms of violence, and its guiding images of self and other, order and disorder. Chapters explore groups of actors (terrorists, pirates, partisans, anarchists, Islamists, neo-Nazis, revolutionaries, soldiers, politicians, scholars) as well as a broad empirical source material, and combine them into a narrative of how our ideas and concepts of state, terrorism, order, disorder, territory, violence and others came about and influence the struggle between the modern state and its challengers. The main focus is on how the state and its challengers have conceptualized and legitimated themselves, defended their existence and, most importantly, their violence. In doing so, the book situates terrorism and anti-terrorism within modernity’s grander history of state, war, ideology and violence. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies, political violence, sociology, philosophy, and Security Studies/IR in genera Mikkel Thorup is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Philosophy and the History of Ideas, University of Aarhus, Denmark.

Kitchen, University of Waterloo, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57017-6; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines NATO’s transition from a Cold War mutual defence organization into a global alliance, and puts the recent crisis over the Afghanistan mission in the context of long-standing debates over out-of-area interventions. Originally, NATO bound the western allies together for the purposes of mutual defence as defined by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which declared that an
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
324 attack on the territory of one ally was to be considered an attack on them all. However, Article 4 of the Treaty invites the allies to consult with each other on a less formal basis whenever their 'territorial integrity, political independence, or security' was threatened, without the automatic commitment to a shared response. During the Cold War, the allies consulted both formally and informally on issues beyond mutual defence in debates that were, more often than not, extremely contentious. After the Cold War, these out-of-area missions became the primary focus of NATO’s military missions. The allies had to debate the scope of co-operation for every mission they considered undertaking collectively. This book argues that NATO’s identity has changed from a Cold War mutual defence organization to a global alliance in the course of debates over how to respond to the changing circumstances of its security environment. This book will be of much interest to students of security studies, international organisations, contemporary history and IR in general. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Great Powers and Strategic Stability in the 21st Century Routledge Global Security Studies
Edited by Graeme P. Herd, Geneva Centre for Security Policy, Switzerland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 234pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56054-2; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book addresses the issue of grand strategic stability in the 21 st century, and examines the role of the key centres of global power - US, EU, Russia, China and India - in managing contemporary strategic threats. This edited volume examines the cooperative and conflictual capacity of Great Powers to manage increasingly interconnected strategic threats (not least, terrorism and political extremism, WMD proliferation, fragile states, regional crises and conflict and the energy-climate nexus) in the 21 st century. The contributors question whether global order will increasingly be characterised by a predictable interdependent one-world system, as strategic threats create interest-based incentives and functional benefits. The work moves on to argue that the operational concept of world order is a Concert of Great Powers directing a new institutional order, norms and regimes whose combination is strategic-threat specific, regionally sensitive, loosely organised, and inclusive of major states (not least Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and Indonesia). Leadership can be singular, collective or coalition-based and this will characterise the nature of strategic stability and world order in the 21 st century. This book will be of much interest to students of international security, grand strategy, foreign policy and IR. Graeme P.

US Strategy in Africa Routledge Global Security Studies
Edited by David J. Francis, University of Bradford, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48510-4; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book outlines the construction, interpretations and understanding of US strategy towards Africa in the early twenty-first century. No single issue or event in the recent decades in Africa has provoked so much controversy and unified hostility and opposition as the announcement by former President George W. Bush of the establishment of the United Stated Africa Command – AFRICOM. The intensity and sheer scale of the unprecedented unity of opposition to AFRICOM across Africa surprised many experts and lead them to ask why such a hostile reaction occurred. This book explores the conception of AFRICOM and the subsequent reaction in two ways. Firstly, the contributors critically engage with the creation and global imperatives for the establishment of AFRICOM and present an analytical outline of African security in relation to and within the context of the history of US foreign and security policy approaches to Africa. Secondly, the book has original chapter contributions by some of the key actors involved in the development and implementation of the AFRICOM project including Theresa Whelan, the former US Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs. This is not only an attempt to contribute to the academic and policy-relevant debates based on the views of those who are intimately involved in the design and implementation of the AFRICOM project but also to show, in their own words, that ‘America has no clandestine agenda for Africa’. This book will be of interest to students of US foreign policy/national security, strategic studies, international security and African politics. David J. Francis is Chair of African Peace & Conflict Studies in the Department of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford. CONTENTS Part 1: AFRICOM and US Security Policy in Africa 1.

Nadège Sheehan argues that though UN peacekeeping is a political activity it is dependent on economics considerations and that these operations are generally considered generally to be the best tool to organize the world politico-economics order. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the economics of peacekeeping, considering expenditures, gains obtained through participation in missions and alternative cost-effective choices for producing and financing UN peacekeeping operations. This is a novel and innovative approach in an under researched area. CONTENTS Part 1: The Politico-Economic Organization of Peacekeeping Operations 1.

327 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines international engagement with Kosovo since NATO’s intervention in 1999, and looks at the three distinct phases of Kosovo’s development; intervention, statebuilding and independence. Kosovo remains a case study of central importance in international relations, illustrative of key political trends in the post-Cold War era. During each phase, international policy towards Kosovo has challenged prevailing international norms and pushed the boundaries of conventional wisdom. In each of the three phases 'Kosovo' has been cited as constituting a precedent, and this book explores the impact and the often troubling consequences and implications of these precedents. This book explicitly engages with this debate, which transcends Kosovo itself, and provides a critical analysis of the catalysts and consequences of contemporary international engagement with this seminal case study. Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of the international engagement with Kosovo and situates events there in an international context, highlighting the extent to which international policy towards Kosovo has challenged existing norms and practices. Kosovo has been cited in certain texts as a positive template to be emulated, but the contributors to this book also identify the often controversial and contentious nature of these new norms. This book will be of much interest to students of humanitarian intervention and statebuilding, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR in general. Aidan Hehir is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster. CONTENTS 1.

Conflict, Security and the Reshaping of Society Routledge Studies in Liberty and Security
Edited by Alessandro Dal Lago and Salvatore Palidda, both of Universita di Genova, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57034-3; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is an examination of the effect of contemporary wars (such as the 'War on Terror') on civil life at a global level. Contemporary literature on war is mainly devoted to recent changes in the theory and practice of warfare, particular those in which terrorists or insurgents are involved (for example, the 'revolution in military affairs', 'small wars', and so on). On the other hand, today's research on security is focused, among other themes, on the effects of the war on terrorism, and on civil liberties and social control. This volume connects these two fields of research, showing how 'war' and 'security' tend to exchange targets and forms of action as well as personnel (for instance, the spreading use of private contractors in wars and of military experts in the 'struggle for security') in modern society. This shows how, contrary to Clausewitz's belief war should be conceived of as a "continuation of politics by other means", the opposite statement is also true: that politics, insofar as it concerns security, can be defined as the 'continuation of war by other means'. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, war and conflict studies, terrorism studies, sociology and IR in general. Salvatore Palidda is Professor of Sociology in the Faculty of Education at the University of Genoa. Alessandro Dal Lago is Professor of Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Genoa.

Mapping Transatlantic Security Relations Routledge Studies in Liberty and Security
Edited by Mark Salter, University of Ottawa, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 320pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57861-5; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book examines how legal, political, and rights discourses, security policies and practices migrate and translate across the North Atlantic. The complex relationship between liberty and security has been fundamentally recast and contested in liberal democracies since the start of the 'global war on terror'. In addition to recognizing new agencies, political pressures, and new sensitivities to difference, it is important that not to over-state the novelty of the post-9/11 era: the war on terror simply made possible the intensification, expansion, or strengthening of policies already in existence, or simply enabled the shutting down of debate. Working from a common theoretical frame, if different disciplines, these chapters present policy-oriented analyses of the actual practices of security, policing, and law in the European Union and Canada. They focus on questions of risk and exception, state sovereignty and governance, liberty and rights, law and transparency, policing and security. In particular, the essays are concerned with charting how policies, practices, and ideas migrate between Canada, the EU and its member states. By taking ‘field’ approach to the study of security practices, the volume is not constrained by national case study or the solipsistic debates within subfields and bridges legal, political, and sociological analysis. It will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, sociology, law, global governance and IR in general. Mark B.

It aims both to document and analyze the effects of the restructuring of formal and civil society politics on gender and sexual equality. Consequently, it opens up the analysis of Northern Ireland’s political transition to feminist scrutiny at local and international levels. The volume adopts a nonessentialist framework designed to trace the political constitution and reconstitution of gender inequities through conflict transformational processes. This theoretical orientation is informed by a mix of analysis of academic and government sources and qualitative interviews with a range of actors operating in formal political arenas and civil society organizations. Further, the book connects with the complex and diverse debates around the central categories and concepts applied in the field of gender, nationalism and conflict transformation, such as feminist analysis in the areas of gender and nationalism, women’s political representation,

Governing Ethnic Conflict Routledge Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution
Andrew Finlay, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 216x138 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49803-6; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book traces the emergence of a common technology of peace and how, in the process, the liberal state has come to embrace illiberal subjects and practices. The idea that conflicts are problems that have causes and therefore solutions rather than winners and losers has gained momentum since the end of the Cold War, and it has become more common for third party mediators acting in the name of liberal internationalism to promote the resolution of intra-state conflicts. These third-party peace makers appear to share lessons and expertise so that it is possible to speak of an emergent common technology of peace based around a controversial form of power-sharing known as consociation. In this common technology of peace, the cause of conflict is understood to be competing ethnonational identities and the solution is to recognize these identities, and make them useful to government through power-sharing. The problem with consociational arrangements is not simply that they institutionalise ethnic division and privilege particular identities or groups, but, more importantly, that they close down the space for other ways of being. By specifying identity categories, consociational regimes create a residual, sink category, designated ‘other’. These ‘others’ not only offer a challenge to prevailing ideas about identity but also stand in reproach to conventional wisdom regarding the management of conflict. This book will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution, ethnic conflict, identity, and war and conflict studies in general.

Migration and Security in the Global Age Routledge Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution
Feargal Cochrane, University of Lancaster, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 208pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58775-4; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book is an interdisciplinary examination of several interconnecting aspects of migrant communities in the context of contemporary conflict and security. It aims to illustrate how the diversity of migrant populations cross-cuts political, cultural, social and economic spheres of activity. The book builds a connected picture of contemporary migrants/diasporas that reflects the fact that they exist within, and help to construct, an integrated and multi-layered political, social, cultural and economic mileau. While empirically focused studies are often case-specific and, while rich in local detail, lack comparative breadth or the ability to make connections and see irregularities across a number of cases that might be of interest to scholars beyond that specific area. This work intends to connect these literatures together more thoroughly. In particular, it seeks to demonstrate that political, cultural, economic and social factors all play important roles in helping us understand the actual (and potential) roles of migrant communities in conflict and security within contemporary society. The book has a thematic structure, with multiple case studies being used throughout the text, including the Palestinian, Sri Lankan, Irish and Somali diaspora communities. London will be used as a site for primary data collection, due to its multi-ethnic character and the vibrancy of its diaspora communities. A series of interviews will be carried out in London among several migrant communities to provide qualitative evidence linked to the central arguments within the book concerning the impact of globalisation and the new security environment on patterns of association at both political and cultural levels. This book will be of much interest to students of migration and diaspora communities, peace and conflict studies, security studies and ethnic conflict.

Theory and Practice of International Mediation Routledge Studies in Security and Conflict Management
Jacob Bercovitch, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-46958-6; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Jacob Bercovitch has been at the forefront of developments in international mediation for more than 25 years, and is generally recognized as one of the most important scholars in the field. His theoretical and empirical analyses have come to define the parameters in the study of mediation. In the international arena, where a large and highly diverse number of actors coexist, where each guards its sovereignty and independence zealously, and where each views the resort to violence as a viable option, mediation is one of the most important ways of dealing with conflicts. This volume brings together some of the most significant essays on international mediation by Jacob Bercovitch, and will help scholars and practitioners trace the history of the field, its position today, and its future. The book will be of much interest to all students of mediation, negotiation, conflict management and International Relations in general. CONTENTS Part 1: The Nature and Theory of Mediation 1.

A History of the Egyptian Intelligence Service Studies in Intelligence
Owen L. Sirrs, US Defense Intelligence Agency, Washington DC, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 288pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56920-0; February 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book analyzes how the Egyptian intelligence community has adapted to shifting national security threats since its inception 100 years ago. Starting in 1910, when the modern Egyptian intelligence system was created to deal with militant nationalists and Islamists, the book shows how the security services were subsequently reorganized, augmented and centralized to meet an increasingly sophisticated array of challenges, including fascism, communism, army unrest, Israel, France, the United Kingdom, conservative Arab states, the Muslim Brotherhood and others. The book argues that studying Egypt’s intelligence community is integral to our understanding of that country’s modern history, regime stability and human rights record. Intelligence studies have been described as the ‘missing dimension’ of international relations. It is clear that intelligence agencies are pivotal to understanding the nature of many Arab regimes and their decision-making processes, and there is no published history of modern Egyptian intelligence in either a European language or in Arabic, though Egypt has the largest and arguably most effective intelligence community in the Arab world. This book will fill a clear gap in the intelligence literature and will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, Middle Eastern politics, international security and IR in general.

It does so through the medium of a fresh case study of the British Eighth Army’s performance, under three different commanders, at several key points during the campaign in Italy. These comprise operations Husky and Baytown (the invasion of Sicily and Italy respectively), under Montgomery; the Eighth Army’s part in the fourth battle of Cassino and the Gothic Line offensive, under Oliver Leese; and the final offensive in Italy, under Richard McCreery. This book will be of much interest to students of the Second World War, intelligence studies, operational military history and strategic history. CONTENTS Introduction 1.

332 examines not only the apartheid government’s intelligence dispensation and operations, but also those of the African National Congress, and its partner, the South African Communist Party (ANC/SACP) – as well as those of other liberation movements and the ‘independent homelands’ under the apartheid system. Examining the civilian, military and police intelligence structures and operations in all periods, as well as the extraordinarily complicated apartheid government’s security bureaucracy (or 'securocracy') and its structures and units, the book discusses how South Africa’s Cold War ‘position’ influenced its relationships with various other world powers, especially where intelligence co-operation came to bear. It outlines South Africa’s regional relationships and concerns – the foremost being its activities in South-West Africa (Namibia) and its relationship with Rhodesia through 1980. Finally, it examines the various legislative and other governance bases for the existence and operations of South Africa’s intelligence structures – in all periods – and the influences that such activities as the Rivonia Trial (at one end of the history) or the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (at the other end) had on the evolution of these intelligence questions throughout South Africa’s modern history.

Gender and Peacebuilding Edited by Funmi Olonisaken, Karen Barnes and Ekaette Ikpe PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-58797-6; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book provides a critical assessment of the impact of UN Resolution 1325 by examining the effect of peacebuilding missions on increasing gender equality within conflict-affected countries. UN Resolution 1325 was adopted in October 2000, and was the first time that the security concerns of women in situations of armed conflict and their role in peacebuilding was placed on the agenda of the UN Security Council. It was an important step forward in terms of bringing women’s rights and gender equality to bear in the UN’s peace and security agenda. More than a decade after the adoption of this Resolution, its practical reality is yet to be substantially felt on the ground in the very societies and regions where women remain disproportionately affected by armed conflict and grossly under-represented in peace processes. This realization, in part, led to the adoption in 2008 and 2009 of three other Security Council Resolutions, on sexual violence in conflict, on violence against women, and for the development of indicators to measure progress in addressing women, peace and security issues. Despite this, there remains a serious gap in knowledge about the real difference that this earlier resolution has made to the lives of the most affected communities and regions; and what added value the new resolutions will have. The book draws together the findings from nine case studies to provide guidance on how the impact of Resolution 1325 can be measured, and how peacekeeping operations could improve their capacity to effectively engender security. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, gender studies, the United Nations, international security and IR in general. CONTENTS Part 1: Introduction 1.

While the focus is on the politico-military dimension, security will be put in the context of the holistic approach advocated by the EU. Each chapter critically examines EU objectives, instruments and means, in order to
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
333 assess their effectiveness, and identify their weaknesses, and offer some recommendations for the EU as a security actor on the international stage. This Handbook accounts for the gradual emergence of the EU as an autonomous actor in this field since the end of the Cold War, its objectives being to safeguard European security by improving global security. A key aspect of this development has been the emergence of a defence component through the EU’s European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), re-baptized the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) by the Lisbon Treaty. Whilst this remains a contested development, the international role for the EU as a security actor is here to stay, and is covered in this volume in detail; providing an essential assessment for all students of European Security, the EU, European Politics, security studies and IR in general. The volume is organized in five parts: Part I sets the scene: after a historical overview of the development of European security institutions and an assessment of today’s multipolar order, it analyzes the holistic "grand strategy" underlying EU policies and assesses whether a European strategic culture has emerged. Part II looks at the institutions that make and implement policy in the different dimensions covered by the "grand strategy", charts the instruments and means at their disposal, and assesses to which extent "sub-strategies" in each area are linked up with the overall objectives put forward in the ESS. Part III then assesses the effectiveness of the actual policies and actions undertaken, putting the politico-military dimension in the context of the holistic approach. Part IV analyzes the role of partnerships with other actors in these policies. Part V offers a theoretical perspective on all of these developments.

The volume fills a clear gap in the literature on human security and provides a broad overview of human security scholarship and thinking, reflecting the multi-disciplinary perspectives which have informed the development of the concept of and its policy use. It elaborates how human security has been theorised, and shows the variety of policy applications attached to it, as well as tackling some of the methodological issues which it raises. It draws on three broad aspects of human security thinking: Theoretical issues to do with defining human security as a specific discourse Human security from a policy and institutional perspective, and how it is operationalised in different policy and geographic contexts Case studies and empirical work Featuring some of the leading scholars in the field, the Routledge Handbook of Human Security will be essential reading for all students of human security, critical security, conflict and development, peace and conflict studies, and of great interest to students of international security and IR in general.

There has been an
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
334 upsurge of scholarly interest in the field of insurgency and counter-insurgency over the past 30 years, and it is now a major subfield in the discipline of International Relations and Security Studies. In part, this reflects the increasing globalisation of insurgency and the interdependent nature of insurgent strategies and tactics. Student interest in the area has continued to burgeon too, despite the ending of most colonial insurgencies by the early 1980s and the resolution of guerrilla conflicts in Vietnam, Algeria and Southern Africa. Insurgency since this time has evolved into a variety of newer forms in the post-colonial era and has become linked to a variety of conflicts centred on trafficking in narcotics, precious stones and metals, hardwoods and child trafficking. In addition, many modern insurgencies are not necessarily linked to stable state structures but may be a product of fragile or weak state structures prone to degenerate into warlord formations centred on regional, ethnic or clan networks. Moreover, both insurgent and counter-insurgent military strategies have been considerably affected by the evolution of military technology in the post-Cold War era. Insurgent formations are no longer reliant upon the support and assistance of a few major powers involved in a wider Cold War conflict but on a global network of arms dealers. The range of weaponry has become increasingly sophisticated and theories of 'Fourth-Generation Warfare' have intruded into recent analyses of insurgency and counter insurgency, indicating that analyses of contemporary insurgent movement are a often closely related to weak state structures or state failure, as well as aspects of post-Cold War warfare broadly termed 'new wars'. These are shaped by sub-state movements forging and manufacturing newer and varied forms of identity – often in response to the wider impact of a global media. This handbook will be of great interest to all students of insurgency and small wars, terrorism/counter-terrorism, strategic studies, security studies and IR in general, as well as professional military colleges and policymakers.

The Routledge Handbook of New Security Studies Edited by J. Peter Burgess, PRIO, Oslo, Norway PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £125.00 $185.00; 246x174 mm; 316pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-48437-4; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This new Handbook gathers together state-of-the-art theoretical reflection and empirical research by a group of leading international scholars in the subdiscipline of Critical Security Studies. In today’s globalised setting, the challenge of maintaining security is no longer limited to the traditional foreign-policy and military tools of the nation-state, and security and insecurity are no longer considered as dependent only upon geopolitics and military strength, but rather are also seen to depend upon social, economic, environmental, ethical models of analysis and tools of action. The contributors discuss and evaluate this fundamental shift in four key areas: I. New security concepts II. New security subjects III. New security objects IV. New security practices Offering a comprehensive theoretical and empirical overview of this evolving field, this book will be essential reading for all students of critical security studies, human security, international/global security, political theory and IR in general.

The Routledge Handbook of Transatlantic Security Edited by Jussi Hanhimäki, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland, Georges-Henri Soutou and Basil Germond, University of Central Lancashire, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £125.00 $199.00; 246x174 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57283-5; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This new Handbook provides readers with the tools to understand the evolution of transatlantic security from the Cold War era to the early 21st century. After World War II, the US retained a strong presence as the dominant member of NATO throughout the Cold War. Former enemies, such as Germany, became close allies, while even countries that often criticized the United States made no serious attempt to break with Washington. This pattern of security co-operation continued after the end of the Cold War, with NATO expansion eastwards extending US influence. Despite the Iraq war prompting a seemingly irreparable transatlantic confrontation, the last years of the Bush administration witnessed a warming of US-European relations, expected to continue with the Obama administration. The contributors address the following key questions arising from the history of transatlantic security relations: What lies behind the growing and continuing European dependency on security policy on the United States and what are the political consequences of this? Is this dependency likely to continue or will an independent European Common Foreign and Security Policy eventually emerge? What has been the impact of 'out-of-area' issues on transatlantic security cooperation? The essays in this Handbook cover a broad range of historical and contemporary themes, including the founding of NATO; the impact of the Korean War; the role of nuclear (non-)proliferation; perspectives of individual countries (especially France and Germany); the impact of culture, identity and representation in shaping post-Cold War transatlantic relations; institutional issues, particularly EU-NATO relations; the Middle East; and the legacy of the Cold War, notably tensions with Russia. This Handbook will be of much interest to students of transatlantic security, NATO, Cold War Studies, foreign policy and IR in general.

The Routledge Handbook of War and Society Edited by Steven Carlton-Ford, University of Cincinnatti, USA and Morten G. Ender, United States Military Academy, West Point, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £125.00 $199.00; 246x174 mm; 368pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-56732-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan represent two of the most interesting and potentially troubling events of recent decades. In the wake of 9/11, the United States and other nations went to war in Afghanistan presumably to find and either capture or kill Osama bin Laden and other leaders of Al Qaeda. Following on the heels of the war in Afghanistan, the U.S. and other nations embarked on a war in Iraq, ostensibly to find and destroy Saddam Hussein’s stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, and eventually as the rationale evolved, to free Iraq and create a democratic government. These two wars—so similar in their beginnings—generated different responses from various publics and the mass media; they have had profound effects on the members of the armed services, on their families and relatives, and on the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. The wars, particularly the war in Iraq, have created conditions and situations of interest to sociologists of the media, military sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists, military strategists, political scientists, students of humanitarian aid, social psychologists, scholars of social movements, and theorists of globalization. In short, this edited volume will provide an introduction to current sociological and behavioral research on the effects of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book will be of interest to students of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, miltiary sociology, war studies, anthropology, US politics and psychology.

Health and the National Health Service Contemporary Issues in Public Policy
John Carrier, London School of Economics, UK and Ian Kendell, University of Portsmouth, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 350pp. www.routledge.com/978-1-904385-14-1; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Reviewing recent healthcare policy in the NHS, this book firmly locates the NHS in the context of the welfare state. Setting health policy in both an historical and modern context (post-1997) Kendall and Carrier weigh up the successes and failures of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and examine the conflicts which have driven the Health Service for over fifty years. After looking at recent responses to the apparent failure of healthcare in the United Kingdom, they conclude that the NHS has successfully met the challenges it faced when founded over sixty years ago and is likely to continue to meet the changing health needs of the population. This excellent book is appropriate for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate students studying health policy and the NHS. CONTENTS 1. Social Assistance and Voluntarism 2.

Immigration, Integration and Crime Contemporary Issues in Public Policy
Luigi M. Solivetti, University of Rome-La Sapienza, Italy PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $115.00; 234x156 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49072-6; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The problem of social control has constituted the acid test for the entire issue of immigration and integration. But whilst recent studies show that the crime rate for non-nationals is three, four or more, times higher than that of the country’s 'own' citizens, academic interest in these statistics has been inhibited by the political difficulties they raise. Immigration, Integration and Crime addresses this issue directly. Providing a thorough analysis of immigration and crime rates in all of the main European countries, as well as examining the situation in the US, Luigi Solivetti concludes that the widespread notion that a large non-national population produces high crime rates must be rejected. Noting the undeniably substantial, but significantly variable, contribution of non-nationals to crime statistics in Western Europe, he nevertheless goes on to analyse and explain the factors that influence the relationship between immigration and crime. It is the characteristics of the 'host' countries that is shown to be significantly associated with non-nationals’ integration and, ultimately, their involvement in crime. In particular, Solivetti concludes, it is 'social capital' in the host societies – comprised of features such as education, transparency, and openness – that plays a key role in non-nationals’ integration chances, and so in their likelihood to commit crime. Supported by extensive empirical data and statistical analysis, Immigration, Integration and Crime provides an invaluable contribution to one of the most pressing social and political debates - in Europe, and elsewhere.

338 HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 307pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87924-8; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84711-4; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Indigenous ways of understanding and interacting with the natural world are characterized as Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), which derives from emphasizing relationships and connections among species. This book examines TEK and its strengths in relation to Western ecological knowledge and evolutionary philosophy. Pierotti takes a look at the scientific basis of this approach, focusing on different concepts of communities and connections among living entities, the importance of understanding the meaning of relatedness in both spiritual and biological creation, and a careful comparison with evolutionary ecology. The text examines the themes and principles informing this knowledge, and offers a look at the complexities of conducting research from an indigenous perspective. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Defining Traditional Ecological Knowledge 2. All Things Are Connected: Communities as Both Ecological and Social Entities in Indigenous American Thought 3. Predators Not Prey: "Wolves of Creation" Rather Than "Lambs of God" 4. Metaphors and Models: Indigenous Knowledge and Evolutionary Ecology 5.

Descriptions of Deviance Routledge Advances in Criminology
Stephen Hester, University of Wales Bangor, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95570-6; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Descriptions of Deviances critically engages with the two hitherto dominant perspectives in the sociology of deviance and criminology, and thereby clarifies the key differences between these theoretical points of view and the ethnomethodological approach to deviance. Hester offers an original and exemplary contribution to ethnomethodology and conversation analysis that not only illuminates the production of descriptions of deviance in the context of referral consultations, but also explores the relations between different ‘layers’ of organization - sequential, categorical and factual - that are operative and discoverable within talk-in-interaction. By connecting the analysis of these materials to previous ethnomethodological work on crime and deviance, Descriptions of Deviance articulates and publicises, what is now, a very substantial submerged corpus of ethnomethodological studies that are directly relevant to the sociology of deviance and criminology, but which have hardly received any attention from mainstream sociologists and criminologists. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Ethnomethodology, Sociology and Deviance 2. Assessment Sequences 3. Extended Descriptions 4. The Categorical Organization of Descriptions of Deviance 5. Recognizing References to Deviance 6. Accountably Deviant 7. Mundane Reason and the Description of Deviance 8. From Description to Intervention: The Social Organization of Educational Psychological Reaction 9. Ethnomethodology, Deviance and the Organization of Description
Feminist Studies Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality
Nina Lykke, Linköping University, Sweden PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 242pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87484-7; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85277-4; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this book, feminist scholar Nina Lykke highlights current issues in feminist theory, epistemology and methodology. Combining introductory overviews with cutting-edge reflections, Lykke focuses on analytical approaches to gendered power differentials intersecting with other processes of social in/exclusion based on race, class, and sexuality. Lykke confronts and contrasts classical stances in feminist epistemology with poststructuralist and postconstructionist feminisms, and also brings bodily materiality into dialogue with theories of the performativity of gender and sex. This thorough and needed analysis of the state of Feminist Studies will be a welcome addition to scholars and students in Gender and Women’s Studies and Sociology. CONTENTS

Sexuality, Gender and Power Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality
Edited by Anna G. Jónasdóttir, Örebro University, Sweden, Valerie Bryson, Huddersfield University, UK and Kathleen B. Jones, San Diego State University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88087-9; September 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This volume aims to break new ground in the fields of sexuality and gender studies. Its framework is grounded in three interconnected principles: that ideas and knowledge can have transformative political effects; that theory must be firmly grounded in ‘real world’ conditions and experiences; and that the investigation of sexuality and its intersections with gender and other roles, identities and structural contexts must lie at the heart of social and political analysis. It offers perspectives and case analyses that, taken together, contribute to the development of new approaches to thinking about sexuality and its relationship to gender that go beyond existing theories and practices.
Women, Civil Society and the Geopolitics of Democratization Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality
Denise M. Horn, Northeastern University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 120pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87225-6; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85459-4; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Over the past decade, democratization and civil society promotion became key variables in preserving global security and the liberal economic market. This book examines the prevalence of democratization policies as a hegemonic geopolitical tool; these policies represent a concerted political effort in which civil society organizations are manipulated through funding strategies. Denise Horn offers a fresh, innovative feminist-constructivist perspective by arguing that Western gender norms—i.e. those norms that determine degrees of participation within civil society—inform the policies of hegemonic powers and transform the foundations of civil society in transitional states. This powerful volume will be of interest to students and scholars in Gender and Women’s Studies, Political Science, and International Relations.

However, what we choose to count, what we choose not to count, who does the counting, and the categories and values we choose to apply when counting, matter. This volume
Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
340 addresses the ways in which statistics and numbers are gathered and applied in social science research. The contributors argue that we must become more aware of the power and the limitations of statistics. Learning statistics needs to be about more than simply mastering the techniques of using the tool; it needs to also be about learning the dangers of that tool and learning to control it within social and ethical bounds. These dangers lie in the routines through which statistics are applied; the discourses from which they emerge and into which they are deployed; the power relations created by those discourses; and the assumptions, meanings, and categories statistics carry with them in those discourses. This volume will be necessary reading for students and scholars using quantitative data within the social sciences.

Martin Bauer, London School of Economics, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95803-5; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book demonstrates the varied contributions of public resistance to technological developments. Bauer compares public resistance to three strategic technologies over the last fifty years (nuclear power, information technology, and genetic engineering), and shows how resistance contributes to efficient and sustainable developments. The theory of this book is based on a functional analogy: like pain, resistance is a signal that things are going wrong; what acute pain does for individual action, resistance does for collective projects, it motivates and defines a more realistic future. The book brings together empirical evidence from a wide range of sources, and integrates the author’s own extensive research over the last fifteen years. This empirically grounded study also offers critical discussion of key concepts, such as technology movement, objectification and legitimation, representation and framing, public opinion, attitude, risk perception and public understanding, public participation and resistance, closure and re-opening, mobilization and social influence, issue cycles CONTENTS Part 1: Theoretical Foundations 1.

Perspectives on Genetic Discrimination Routledge Advances in Sociology
Thomas Lemke, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87858-6; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Over the past 15 years, a series of empirical studies in different countries have shown that our increasing genetic knowledge leads to new forms of exclusion, disadvantaging and stigmatization. The spectrum of this "genetic discrimination" ranges from disadvantages at work, via problems with insurance policies, to difficulties with adoption agencies. The empirical studies on the problem of genetic discrimination have not gone unnoticed. Since the beginning of the 1990s, a series of legislative initiatives and statements, both on the national level and on the part of international and supranational organizations and commissions, have been put forward as ways of protecting people from genetic discrimination. This is the first book to critically evaluate the empirical evidence and the theoretical usefulness of the concept of "genetic discrimination." It discusses the advantages and limitations of adopting the concept, and offers a more complex account distinguishing between several dimensions and forms of genetic discrimination.
Twentieth Century Music and the Question of Modernity Routledge Advances in Sociology

Routledge Research New titles: February 2010-February 2011
342 PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 216pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-96208-7; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84547-9; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In the first decade of the twentieth century, many composers rejected the principles of tonality and regular beat. This signaled a dramatic challenge to the rationalist and linear conceptions of music that had existed in the West since the Renaissance. The ‘break with tonality’, Neo-Classicism, serialism, chance, minimalism and the return of the ‘sacred’ in music, are explored in this book for what they tell us about the condition of modernity. Modernity is here treated as a complex social and cultural formation, in which mythology, narrative, and the desire for ‘re-enchantment’ have not completely disappeared. Through an analysis of Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Boulez and Cage, 'the author shows that the twentieth century composer often adopted an artistic personality akin to Max Weber’s religious types of the prophet and priest, ascetic and mystic. Twentieth Century Music and the Question of Modernity advances a cultural sociology of modernity and shows that twentieth century musical culture often involved the adoption of ‘apocalyptic’ temporal narratives, a commitment to ‘musical revolution’, a desire to explore the limits of noise and sound, and, finally, redemption through the rediscovery of tonality. This book is essential reading for those interested in cultural sociology, sociological theory, music history, and modernity/modernism studies. CONTENTS Introduction 1. Modernity, Modernism and Music 2. Myth and Narrative in Twentieth Century Musical Culture 3. The Structure of Musical Revolutions 4. Music in Max Weber’s Sociology of Modernity 5.

Tourism and Poverty Routledge Advances in Tourism
Regina Scheyvens, Massey University, New Zealand PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 160pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99675-4; October 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Tourism and Poverty addresses a critical question facing many academics, governments, aid agencies, tourism organisations, and conservation bodies around the world: can tourism work as a tool to overcome poverty? This book is the first to present a focused description and critique of the issues surrounding poverty and tourism. Relying on a wealth of primary data on tourism, Scheyvens supports her findings with novel case studies from her own research, such as a ‘voyeurs of poverty’-style ‘volunteer tour’ in Nepal, to pro-poor changes being implemented by major British tour operators, to community-controlled budget tourism in Samoa. This book will fundamentally alter the way academics and tourism professionals understand the current and potential role of tourism in alleviating poverty.
Tourist Shopping Villages Routledge Advances in Tourism

Tourists form a separate retailing segment from the general population and place importance on different products and product attributes, contributing billions of dollars each year for both the private and public sector by which retail areas, townscapes and streetscapes can be revitalised. This landmark volume – based on a two year research program from a team of authors -- examines the forms and functions of approximately 50 tourist shopping villages in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and the United States. This volume will interest scholars of Tourism, Geography, Business, and Economics, as well as government officials, civic leaders, and individual entrepreneurs and retailers seeking to maximise their returns and local community residents

Yet there is a lack of specific attention to the ways in which we can better understand and evaluate the relationship between well-being and travel. The recent surge of scholarly work in positive psychology concerned with human well-being and flourishing represents a contemporary force with the potential to embellish and augment much current tourism study. This book maps out the field and then draws linkages between tourists, tourism and positive psychology. It discusses topics such as the issue of excess materialism and its fragile relationship with well-being, the value of positive psychology to lifestyle businesses, and the insights of the research field to spa and wellness tourism. This volume will interest those who study and practise tourism as well as scholars and graduate students in a range of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, business and leisure.

Development and Gender Equity in the Anglophone Caribbean Routledge International Studies of Women and Place
Michelle Rowley, University of Maryland, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87854-8; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This book uses the Anglophone Caribbean as its site of critique to explore two important questions within development studies. First, to what extent has the United Nations' call to implement gender-mainstreaming projects resulted in the realization of gender equity for women within developing societies? Second, does gender-mainstreaming have the conceptual, operational, and technical capacities to address the centrality of the body in 21st-century lobbies for gender equity? In asnwering these questions, Rowley examines such issues as reproductive rights and equity, sexual harassment, and sexual minorities' rights.

Thus far, there has been little exploration of the constitution of the varied and differing ways that gender is constituted in rural settings. This book will place the question of gender, rurality and difference at its center. The authors examine theoretical constructions of gender and explore the relationship between these and rural spaces. While there have been extensive debates in the feminist literature about gender and the intersection of multiple social categories, rural feminist social scientists have yet to theorize what gender means in a rural context and how gender blurs and intersects with other

The Cultural Politics of Female Sexuality in South Africa Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Henriette Gunkel, Fort Hare Institute of Social and Economic Research, South Africa PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 182pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87269-0; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85603-1; January 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Sexual identity has emerged into the national discourse of post-apartheid South Africa, bringing the subject of rights and the question of gender relations and cultural authenticity into the focus of the nation state’s politics. This book is a fascinating reflection on the effects of these discourses on non-normative modes of sexuality and intimacy and on the country more generally. While in 1996, South Africa became the first country in the world that explicitly incorporated lesbian and gay rights within a Bill of Rights, much of the country has continued to see homosexuality as un-African. Henriette Gunkel examines how colonialism and apartheid have historically shaped constructions of gender and sexuality and how these concepts have not only been re-introduced and shaped by understandings of homosexuality as un-African but also by the post-apartheid constitution and continued discourse within the nation. CONTENTS Introduction 1. ‘Homosexuality is Un-African’: Unfolding the Colonial Legacy within Post-Apartheid Homophobia 2. Is Pink Really White in South Africa? Reflections on Discourses of Homosexuality in the Post/Apartheid State 3.

Ethics, Materiality, and the Problem of Objectification Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Ann Cahill, Elon University, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 244pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-88288-0; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Objectification is a foundational concept in feminist theory, used to analyze such disparate social phenomena as sex work, representation of women's bodies, and sexual harassment. However, there has been an increasing trend among scholars of rejecting and re-evaluating the philosophical assumptions which underpin it. In this work, Cahill suggests an abandonment of the notion of objectification, on the basis of its dependence on a Kantian ideal of personhood. Such an ideal fails to recognize sufficiently the role the body plays in personhood, and thus results in an implicit vilification of the body and sexuality. The problem with the phenomena associated with objectification is not that they render women objects, and therefore not-persons, but rather that they construct feminine subjectivity and sexuality as wholly derivative of masculine subjectivity and sexuality. Women, in other words, are not objectified as much as they are derivatized, turned into a mere reflection or projection of the other. Cahill argues for an ethics of materiality based upon a recognition of difference, thus working toward an ethics of sexuality that is decidedly ­ and simultaneously ­ incarnate and intersubjective.

Gender, Violence, and Law Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Melanie Randall, The University of Western Ontario, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87117-4; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The law has been the major site of advocacy, reform efforts and social change in relation to a variety of complex social problems. Gendered violence is one of them. After nearly three decades of advocacy and law reform, what can we understand about current legal responses to, and engagement with, issues of gendered violence? This book aims squarely at critically analyzing legal responses to, interventions in, and remedies for violence against women, with an overarching aim of assessing the extent to which the law has been - or could still be - effectively utilized in the project to end violence in women’s lives. Drawing on Canadian, U.S. and UK jurisprudence and spanning a variety of contexts of gendered violence (including domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and rape), Melanie Randall illustrates the persistent complexities and challenges surrounding legal understandings of and responses to violence against women.
Migration, Domestic Work and Affect Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Encarnación Gutiérrez-Rodríguez, University of Manchester, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 260pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99473-6; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84866-1; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Domestic and care work in private households is now the largest employment sector for migrant women. This book sheds light on these households through its focus on the interpersonal relationships between Latin American “undocumented migrant” domestic workers and employers in Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK. The personal experiences of these women form the basis for Gutiérrez-Rodríguez’s decolonial analysis of the feminization of labor in private households and cultural analysis of domestic work as affective labor. This book will be a necessary voice in the debates on citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migrant workers’ rights. CONTENTS Introduction: Sensing Domestic Work. 1.

Transgender Identities Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Edited by Sally Hines, University of Leeds, UK and Tam Sanger, Queen’s University Belfast, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 315pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99930-4; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85614-7; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In recent years transgender has emerged as a subject of increasing social and cultural interest. This volume offers vivid accounts of the diversity of living transgender in today's world. The first section, "Emerging Identities," maps the ways in which social, cultural, legal and medical developments shape new identities on both an individual and collective level. Rather than simply reflecting social change, these shifts work to actively construct contemporary identities. The second section, "Trans Governance," examines how law and social policy have responded to contemporary gender shifts. The third section, "Transforming Identity," explores gender and sexual identity practices within cultural and subcultural spaces. The final section, "Transforming Theory?", offers a theoretical reflection on the increasing visibility of trans people in today’s society and traces the challenges and the contributions transgender theory has brought to gender theory, queer theory and sociological approaches to identity and citizenship. Featuring contributions from throughout the

Identity in the Internet Age Routledge Research in Information Technology and Society
Fengshu Liu, University of Oslo, Norway PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87486-1; December 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Fengshu Liu situates the lives of Chinese youth and the growth of the Internet against the backdrop of rapid and profound social transformation in China. In 2008, the total of Internet users in China had reached 253 million (in comparison with 22.5 million in 2001). Yet, despite rapid growth, the Internet in China is so far a predominantly urban-youth phenomenon, with young people under 30 (especially those under 24), mostly members of the only-child generation, as the main group of the netizens’ population. As both youth and the Internet hold the potential to inflict, or at least contribute to, far-reaching economic, social, cultural, and political changes, this book fulfills a pressing need for a systematical investigation of how youth and the Internet are interacting with each other in a Chinese context. In so doing, Liu sheds light on what it means to be a Chinese today, how ‘Chineseness’ may be (re)constructed in the Internet Age, and what the implications of the emerging form of identity are for contemporary and future Chinese societies as well as the world.
Towards a Normative Theory of the Information Society Routledge Research in Information Technology and Society
Alistair S. Duff, Napier University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 176pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95571-3; April 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION There is a clear need for a systematic, integrative, and rigorous normative theory of the information society. In this book, Duff offers a prescriptive theory to help to guide the academic and policy communities as they debate the future shape of emerging post-industrial, information-based societies. He argues that information policy needs to become anchored in a left-liberal philosophy which foregrounds a feasible permutation of the core ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood. The information society, if it is to be worth having at all, cannot be allowed to be largely the outcome of the free play of market forces and technological determinism. The social structure, including the information economy, must be subjected to a regulatory axiological system as explicated by some leading proponents of social democracy. CONTENTS 1. Framework for a Normative Theory of the Information Society 2. Religious Social Democracy as a Normative Tradition 3. Social Engineering and the Programme of Information Society Development 4. On the Social Distribution of Information and News 5. Conclusion: Towards the International Information Polity?

Beatriz Garcia examines the concept and evolution of cultural policies throughout the recent history of the Olympic Games and then specifically evaluates the cultural program of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Garcia argues that the cultural relevance of a major event is highly dependant on the consistency of the policy choices informing its cultural dimensions. She demonstrates how major events, such as the Olympic Games, frequently fail to leave long-term cultural legacies and are often unable to provide an experience that fully engages and represents the host community, due to their over-emphasis on an economic rather than a social and cultural agenda.

Combining theoretical and empirical contributions, the volume will addresses a wide variety of topics such as the experiences of Muslims, the recruitment of African players, devolution and national identities, case studies of minority ethnic clubs, "mixed-race" players, multiculturalism and anti-racism, sectarianism, education, and foreign club ownership. Covering the both amateur and professional spheres, and focusing on both players and supporters, the book elucidates the linkages between race, ethnicity, gender and masculinity.

This book critically presents the mechanisms and structures in a selection of sport federations within a variety of European countries that illuminate the varied relationships between not-for-profit sport federations, their members, governments and the citizens they represent. The contributors explore the contrasts and synergies between core social capital theoretical perspectives, and how these may be informed by and/or shape the realities of governance from different perspectives within the sport system.

Iain Lindsay, University of Southampton, UK and Barrie Houlihan, Loughborough University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87483-0; November 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Since 1990, Britain has seen a period of unprecedented public investment in, and political commitment to, sport. In this book, Iain Lindsey and Barrie Houlihan examine and analyze sport policy since the appointment of John Major as leader of the Conservative Party in 1990. John Major’s period as Prime Minister was a watershed in British sport policy marking the beginning of a prolonged period of public and lottery investment and relatively high political salience. The text also locates Labour sport policy not only in relation to the previous government of John Major, but also in relation to the Labour government’s broader concerns and ambitions related to modernisation of British institutions, its ambition to tackle the ‘wicked issues’ epitomised by its focus on achieving greater social inclusion, and its interest in facilitating greater stakeholder involvement in the policy process. Lindsey and Houlihan provide the first analysis that examines sport policy as a field of government and that discusses how the various sectors (e.g. youth/school sport, mass sport, etc.) have been affected by government policy and the competition for public resources.

Women and Exercise Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society
Edited by Eileen Kennedy, Roehampton University, UK and Pirkko Markula, University of Alberta, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 256pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87120-4; July 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Exercise promotion has become an increasingly important and visible part of public health campaigns. Studies have demonstrated that women have higher levels of obesity and are generally less physically active than men. While significant quantitative research has increased our knowledge of women’s exercise patterns, these studies have revealed only some of the complex issues related to women’s health, the body and physical activity. This volume fills this gap by examining women's contradictory experiences of their bodies, health and exercise within the cultural context of consumerism. Featuring contributions by leading scholars on women and exercise across North America and Europe, this timely examination of women, exercise and fitness will shape the international dialogue on these critical issues.

Biometrics Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society
Joseph Pugliese, Macquarie University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 224pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87487-8; June 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Biometric technologies, such as finger- or facial-scan, are being deployed across a variety of social contexts in order to facilitate and guarantee identity verification and authentication. In the post-9/11 world, biometric technologies have experienced an extraordinary period of growth as concerns about security and screening have increased. This book analyses biometric systems in terms of the application of biopolitical power – corporate, military and governmental – on the human body. It deploys cultural theory in examining the manner in which biometric technologies constitute the body as a target of surveillance and as a data-information object. The book thereby provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of both the local and global ramifications of biometric technologies. CONTENTS Introduction: Biopolitics of Biometrics 1.

Global Public Health Vigilance Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society
Lorna Weir and Eric Mykhalovskiy, both of York University, Canada PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £60.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 260pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-95842-4; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85772-4; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Global Public Health Vigilance is the first sociological book to investigate recent changes in how global public health authorities imagine and respond to international threats to human health. This book explores a remarkable period of conceptual innovation during which infectious disease, historically the focus of international disease control, was displaced by "international public health emergencies," a concept that brought new responsibilities to public health authorities, helping to shape a new project of global public health security. Drawing on research conducted at the World Health Organization, this book analyzes the formation of a new social apparatus, global public health vigilance, for detecting, responding to and containing international public health emergencies. Between 1995 and 2005 a new form of global health surveillance was invented, international communicable disease control was securitized, and international health law was fundamentally revised. This timely volume raises critical questions about the institutional effects of the concept of emerging infectious diseases, the role of the news media in global health surveillance, the impact of changes in international health law on public health reasoning and practice, and the reconstitution of the World Health Organization as a power beyond national sovereignty and global governance. It initiates a new research agenda for social science research on public health. CONTENTS 1. Knowing Global Public Health 2. Emerging Infectious Diseases: An Active Concept 3. Early Warning Outbreak Detection and Alert: A Technique 4. From Infectious Disease to Public Health Emergency 5. A World on Alert: Emergency Vigilance in Global Biopolitics 6. Concluding

The Politics of Bioethics Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society
Alan Petersen, Monash University, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £65.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-99006-6; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Recent rapid advances in the biosciences have led to considerable debate about the social, ethical, and legal implications of research and its applications. The mapping of the human genome, advances in cloning techniques, the harvesting of embryonic stem cells for research, increasing use of genetic testing in healthcare, and the development of large-scale genetic databases have not only generated high expectations about new diagnostics and treatments but also considerable widespread fear about their consequences. This book offers a critical appraisal of bioethics and its implications as it pertains to the fields of health and medicine and public health, with a particular emphasis on recent technological innovations as they provide a noteworthy exemplar of the power of bioethics in shaping policies, practices and notions of societal benefits. Whereas other books have tended to examine ethical dilemmas and challenges of applying ethical principles, often in relation to a limited array of issues, this book investigates the socio-political implications of bioethics discourse and practices in relation to a range of controversial (or potentially controversial) developments. Providing a benchmark for future debate and scholarly work, this volume will be of interest to policymakers, clinicians, scholars, and others who are looking for new ways of making sense and evaluating recent developments in the field of bioethics.

Edited by Lauretta Conklin Frederking, University of Portland, USA PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £70.00 $95.00; 229x152 mm; 233pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-87222-5; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-84836-4; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Hemingway has been labeled a ‘communist sympathizer,’ ‘elitist’, and a ‘rugged individualist.’ This volume embraces the complexity of political advocacy in Hemingway’s novels and short stories. Hemingway’s characters physically, intellectually and spiritually become part of resisting current conditions and affirm the value of resistance, even destruction, regardless of political outcome. Much more than political nihilism, rebellion allows man to realize the potentialities of his greatness as a leader, the realities of his solidarity as a comrade, and the simple sensations of everyday living. Hemingway draws new perspectives on the meaning of politics in our own lives at the same time as his writings affirm boundaries of political thought and literary theory for explaining many of the themes we study.

Watching Sport Ethics and Sport
Stephen Mumford, University of Nottingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $150.00; 234x156 mm; 192pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-37790-4; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-09935-3; February 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION While philosophy of sport has tended to focus on the participator, the majority of people actually experience sport as a spectator. Mumford here considers the philosophical import of watching sport, suggesting that far from being passive, it is an aesthetic, a moral and an emotional experience for spectators. Delving into parallels with art and theatre in terms of a release from the self, this book outlines the aesthetic qualities of sport from the incidental beauty of a well-executed football pass to the enshrined artistic interpretation inherent in performed sports such as ice-skating or gymnastics. We then move on to consider the moral lessons to be

Inclusion and Exclusion Through Youth Sport International Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport
Edited by Richard Bailey and Symeon Dagkas, both of University of Birmingham, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 302pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-57803-5; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85239-2; January 2011 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION We can reach far more people through sport than we can through political or educational programmes. In that way, sport is more powerful than politics. We have only just started to use its potential to build up this country. We must continue to do so. – Nelson Mandela, said to the South African footballer, Lucas Radebe Nelson Mandela’s statement reflects a widely held view that sport can contribute in unique and far-reaching ways to important broad social outcomes. But is it really the case? Can sport bring people from different backgrounds together, and, in doing so, can it act as a force for social transformation and change? In the increasingly popular language of policymakers and practitioners, can sport contribute to social inclusion? Or is it the case that sport actually acts to marginalize and disadvantage some groups within society? Does it reinforce, rather than challenge the inequities of society? Focusing on youth sport as a touchstone sector of sport in society, this book examines the theoretical and empirical bases of arguments for sport’s role in the social inclusion agenda, offering international perspectives on an issue that underpins many of the bold claims and presumptions being made for the power of sport. It represents the most up-to-date and authoritative presentation of core knowledge related to inclusion and exclusion in youth sport and as such, will be invaluable reading for any student, researcher, policy maker or practitioner working in sports development, sports coaching, sport studies or physical education.

The book presents an overview of current research into constructs of gender, the role of religion and the importance of situation, and looks closely at what Islam has to say about women’s participation in sport and what Muslim women have to say about their participation in sport. It highlights the challenges and opportunities for women in sport in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries, utilising a series of extensive case-studies in various countries which invite the readers to conduct cross-cultural comparisons. Material on Iraq, Palestine and Bosnia and Herzegovina provides rare insights into the impact of war on sporting activities for women. The book also seeks to make important recommendations for improving access to sport for girls and women from Muslim communities. Muslim Women and Sport confronts many deeply held stereotypes and crosses those commonly quoted boundaries between ‘Islam and the West’ and between ‘East and West’. It makes fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in the interrelationships between sport, religion, gender, culture and policy.

Young People, Physical Activity and the Everyday International Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport
Edited by Jan Wright, University of Wollongong, Australia and Doune MacDonald, University of Queensland, Australia PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £75.00 $125.00; 234x156 mm; 240pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-49313-0; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-85071-8; May 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Despite society’s current preoccupation with interrelated issues such as obesity, increasingly sedentary lifestyles and children’s health, there has until now been little published research that directly addresses the place and meaning of physical activity in young people’s lives. In this important new collection, leading international scholars address that deficit by exploring the differences in young people’s experiences and meanings of physical activity as these are related to their social, cultural and geographical locations, to their abilities and their social and personal biographies. Young People, Physical Activity and the Everyday places young people’s everyday lives at the centre of the study, arguing that it is this "everydayness" - school, work, friendships, ethnicity, family routines, interests, finances, location – that is the key to shaping the engagement of young people in physical activity. By allowing the voices of young people to be heard through these pages, the book helps the reader to make sense of how young people see physical activity in their lives. Drawing on a breadth of theoretical frameworks, and challenging the orthodox assumptions that underpin contemporary physical activity policy, interventions and curricula, this book powerfully refutes the argument that young people are "the problem" and instead demonstrates the complex social constructions of physical activity in the lives of young people. It is essential reading for all serious students of physical activity, physical education, health, youth work and social policy.

Motor Learning in Practice Edited by Ian Renshaw, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, Keith Davids, Queensland University of Technology, Australia and Geert J. P. Savelsbergh, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Manchester Metropolitan University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £85.00 $140.00; 234x156 mm; 252pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47863-2; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-88810-0; March 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Motor Learning in Practice explores the fundamental processes of motor learning and skill acquisition in sport, and explains how a constraints-led approach can be used to design more effective learning environments for sports practice and performance. Drawing on ecological psychology, the book examines the interaction of personal, environmental and task-specific constraints in the development of motor skills, and then demonstrates how an understanding of those constraints can be applied in a wide range of specific sports and physical activities. The first section of the book contains two chapters that offer an overview of the key theoretical concepts that underpin the constraints-led approach. These chapters also examine the development of fundamental movement skills in children, and survey the most important instructional strategies that can be used to develop motor skills in sport. The second section of the book contains eighteen chapters that apply these principles to specific sports, including basketball, football, boxing, athletics field events and swimming. This is the first book to apply the theory of a constraints-led approach to training and learning techniques in sport. Including contributions from many of the world’s leading scholars in the field of motor learning and development, this book is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher or teacher with an interest in motor skills, sport psychology, sport pedagogy, coaching or physical education.

Projectile Dynamics in Sport Colin White, Portsmouth, University, UK PUBLICATION DETAILS HB; 1 volume; £95.00 $155.00; 246x174 mm; 336pp. www.routledge.com/978-0-415-47331-6; EB: www.routledge.com/978-0-203-88557-4; August 2010 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION How can we predict the trajectory of a baseball from bat to outfield? How do the dimples in a golf ball influence its flight from tee to pin? What forces determine the path of a soccer ball steered over a defensive wall by an elite player? An understanding of the physical processes involved in throwing, hitting, firing and releasing sporting projectiles is essential for a full understanding of the science that underpins sport. This is the first book to comprehensively examine those processes and to explain the factors governing the trajectories of sporting projectiles once they are set in motion. From a serve in tennis to the flight of a ’human projectile’ over a high jump bar, this book explains the universal physical and mathematical principles governing movement in sport, and then shows how those principles are applied in specific sporting contexts. Divided into two sections, addressing theory and application respectively, the book explores key concepts such as: friction, spin, drag, impact and bounce computer and mathematical modelling variable sensitivity the design of sports equipment materials science. Richly illustrated throughout, and containing a wealth of research data as well as worked

The Routledge Handbook of Sports Development is the first book to comprehensively map the wide-ranging territory of sports development as an activity and as a policy field, and to offer a definitive survey of current academic knowledge and professional practice. Spanning the whole spectrum of activity in sports development, from youth sport and mass participation to the development of elite athletes, the book identifies and defines the core functions of sports development, exploring the interface between sports development and cognate fields such as education, coaching, community welfare and policy. The book presents important new studies of sports development around the world, illustrating the breadth of practice within and between countries, and examines the most important issues facing practitioners within sports development today, from child protection to partnership working. With unparalleled depth and breadth of coverage, the Routledge Handbook of Sports Development is the definitive guide to policy, practice and research in sports development. CONTENTS Introduction.
