Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period provides a comprehensive analysis of the course of right-wing politics in the country in the last 40 years. In 1983 after the fall of a violent military regime Argentina began the longest period of democratic stability in its history—40 years marked by economic institutional social and political crises. This book examines the trajectory of the different right-wing organisations and ideological developments during these years seeking to understand both the distinctions and the continuities that lie beneath its metamorphoses. Argentina has always acted as a laboratory in which to appreciate how the major problems and questions that concern those who have studied the right-wing in recent decades are translated into a particular political culture. In an international scenario marked by the social and political growth of different right-wing movements some of which pose a threat to liberal democracies the study of the Argentine case can provide greater clarity and a different perspective on problems that transcend this specific national case. This book will be of interest to scholars of Argentinian and Latin American politics and history as well as specialists on the comparative politics of the radical right. | Argentina’s Right-Wing Universe During the Democratic Period (1983–2023) Processes Actors and Issues

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

US Counterterrorism and the Human Rights of Foreigners Abroad Putting the Gloves Back On?

This book examines why the United States has introduced safeguards that are designed to prevent their counterterrorism policies from causing harm to non-US citizens beyond US territory. It investigates what made US policymakers take steps to put the gloves back on through five case studies on the emergence of such safeguards related to the right not to be tortured the right not to be arbitrarily detained the right to life (in connection with targeted killing operations) the right to seek asylum (in connection with refugee resettlement) and the right to privacy (in connection with foreign mass surveillance). The book exposes two mechanisms – coercion and strategic learning – which explain why the United States has introduced what the authors refer to as extraterritorial human rights safeguards thus demonstrating that the emerging norm that states have human rights obligations towards foreigners beyond their borders constrains policy choices. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights counterterrorism US foreign policy human rights law and more broadly to political science and international relations.

The Creation of Kazakh National Identity The Relationship with Russia 1900–2015

The Creation of Kazakh National Identity The Relationship with Russia 1900–2015

This monograph utilizes three theoretical models to explain Kazakhstan’s emergence as an independent state and its changing relationships with the broader world particularly Russia since the beginning of the twentieth century. The book first explores the construction of Kazakh national identity and the ways in which intellectuals appealed to history to substantiate their claims about Kazakhstan’s future. Secondly the narrative demonstrates that not all segments of totalitarian machinery work in unison. While terror reached its peak in the 1930s cultural and ideological control was not as rigid as it would become in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Most importantly the work is grounded in the study of the social universe. The book introduces the notion of “cosmos ” the peculiar connections between social economic and political forces. While not necessarily directly dependent on each other they nevertheless created a unique interplay among the segments of societal structures and the state’s relationship with the wider universe. Taking this framework as the point of departure this research analyzes Kazakhstan’s “multi-vectorism” as uniquely fit to contemporary global arrangements when no global power dominates and the lines between friend and foe are blurred. This compelling approach to Kazakhstan’s history will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars in Russian history and world history. | The Creation of Kazakh National Identity The Relationship with Russia 1900–2015

The Politics of Time in China and Japan Back to the Future

The Politics of Time in China and Japan Back to the Future

Drawing on a wide range of texts and using an interdisciplinary approach this volume shows how Chinese and Japanese intellectuals mobilized the past to create a better future.

In sum this book shows us why understanding East Asian pasts are essential to making sense of ideological trends in contemporary China and Japan.

India in the World 1500 to the Present

If we look back at world history in the past five hundred years it is evident that Indian ideas peoples and goods helped drive world connections. From the quest to reach the Indies that drove Iberian rulers to fund costly expeditions that ultimately connected the Old World with the Americas to Gandhi’s creed of non-violence that created transnational resistance movements India has been crucial to world history. In what ways have the movement of goods people and ideas from India served to connect the world? Conversely how has India’s global history shaped the many boundaries and inequalities that have divided the world despite—and at times because of—the transnational connections often lumped together under the aegis of globalization? Through its emphasis on both linkages and boundaries India in the World examines the range of connections between India and the world in a truly global perspective. | India in the World 1500 to the Present

The Secret Army is the definitive work on the Irish Republican Army. It is an absorbing account of a movement that has had a profound effect on the shaping of the modern Irish state.

This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of work and tens of thousands of hours of interviews.

The Fatal Conceit The Errors of Socialism

The Fatal Conceit The Errors of Socialism

Hayek gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the “errors of socialism. ” Hayek argues that socialism has from its origins been mistaken on factual and even on logical grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the “fatal conceit” the idea that “man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes. ” | The Fatal Conceit The Errors of Socialism

The author has done what has not been done before: he offers judicious peace plan based on right and justice for the intractable Arab Israeli conflict and its root cause the Palestine problem.

Power and Representation in Byzantium The Forging of the Macedonian Dynasty

Power and Representation in Byzantium The Forging of the Macedonian Dynasty

Throughout the history of Byzantium 65 emperors were dethroned and only 39 reigns ended peacefully. How might a usurper get away with murdering his predecessor? And how could a bloody act of regicide lead to one of the most glorious of all eras in Byzantium? These were questions that puzzled Michael Psellos as he looked back at Basil I’s assassination of Michael III and the origin of the Macedonian dynasty. Might the imperial art of Basil his sons and grandson help to explain how the dynasty overcame its violent beginnings and secured the loyalty of its subjects? It has long been recognised that the early Macedonian emperors were active propagandists but royal art has usually been viewed thematically over the span of centuries. Official iconography has been understood to project imperial power in ways which were impersonal and unchanging. This book instead adopts a chronological approach and considers how Basil justified his seizure of power and how his successors went on to articulate their own ideas about authority. It concludes that imperial art did at times reflect the personality of the emperor and the political demands of the moment such as the need for an heir the nature of court politics or the choice of successor. This innovative account of the forging of the Macedonian dynasty will appeal to those interested in how early medieval kings and emperors used art to create their own image to differentiate themselves from rivals and to extend the boundaries of their personal power. | Power and Representation in Byzantium The Forging of the Macedonian Dynasty

Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence

Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence

Atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust were photographed more intensely that any before. In the time since the images were taken they have been subjected to a perplexing variety of treatments: variously ignored suppressed distorted and above all exploited for propaganda purposes. With the use of many photographs including some never before seen this book traces the history of this process and asks whether the images can be true representations of the events they were depicting. Yet their provenance Janina Struk argues has been less important that the uses to which a wide range of political interests has put them from the desperate attempts of the war-time underground to provide hard evidence of the death camps to the memorial museums of Europe the US and Israel today. | Photographing the Holocaust Interpretations of the Evidence
