Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions, in tandem with Solms’s updates, retranslations, and notes which bring Freudian material into dialogue with the most recent 21st-century developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the 24-volume Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey’s original English translation. This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis.

The author's argument is that the US policy toward India is more one of continuity than change. The driving force behind recent Indo-US relations is not primarily the consequences of 9/11 but is rather the result of power shifts within a more globalized world where 9/11 provided an additional conducive environment.

eBook • 9781793627612 • $44.50 | £34.00 Can genocide and terrorism ever be eliminated? This book says yes. It demonstrates that such atrocities are driven mainly by mass ideological hate incitement. Hence ending the violence requires shutting down the incitement – especially across the Middle East, where a tsunami of hate propaganda drives an epidemic of terrorism. Law: Civil Rights
From a pioneering perspective, the book contributes to the state-ofthe-art contemporary Geopolitics by bringing together Amazonia and Antarctica in a single interdisciplinary volume. Three key issues are 1) the interconnectedness between these vital regions, 2) non-linearity, because they may lead to unpredictable e�ects on the Earth system, and; 3) emergence, which means the varied interactions between Amazonia and Antarctica may lead to unique results.

Willmoore Kendall was a man against the world, a "maverick," an "iconoclast," a man “who never lost an argument or kept a friend.” He co-founded National Review, helped turn the word liberal into an insult, and became the chief theorist of conservative populism. Understanding Kendall helps us understand America.
Armed Groups provides a framework for categorizing and analyzing a key threat to today’s security arena—terrorists, mercenaries, insurgents, militias, and transnational criminal organizations. Understanding their goals, strategies, internal composition, and the environment that fosters them is crucial to understand today’s changing nature of war.

Ray Hartman provides an intellectual history of Chinese legitimacy as it was understood by the young Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Providing insights into CCP leaders’ self-perceptions regarding their own legitimacy, he shows how that conception dictated the Party’s policies regarding the people’s welfare, the economy, and military strategy.
In the 1990s over a million Turkish Kurds were displaced from Southeastern Turkey. By focusing on the forced migrants' stories and on their mobilization of social capital in times of illness and conflict, Geerse shows how they tried to sustain meaningful lives in urban contexts marked by political and structural violence.

Neack provides a thorough overview of how states pursue security against violence, how this pursuit puts those same states and others in the international system into more or less constant threat of violence, and the implications of state-security practices for human beings who are, always, the victims of this violence.
This book is an analysis of terrorism, a summary of its historical evolution, and an evaluation of its contemporary character. The struggle against terrorism has taken on a military character, and a Clausewitz perspective is necessary to show how warfare subordinates use of force to political considerations.

He frames these two phenomena as interrelated and explores the very conditions of their interdependence against the backdrop of robust empirical data.

The book reflects how the actors like the PYD and the Turkish government describe the Syrian civil war by prioritizing their own goals and how the targeted countries, the US and the UK, perceive these descriptions depending on their policy priorities and expectations from the civil war.
In this thought-provoking book, illustrated with photographs of HTS personalities and personnel, jihadism expert Aaron Y. Zelin digs deep into the group’s past before reckoning with the implications of Jawlani’s request. Whatever the U.S. decision, he suggests, political jihadism is here to stay.
