Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Dedicated to the tracing of continuity across sectarian divides Christopher Tadgell’s History of Architecture in India (1989) was the first modern monograph to draw together in one volume all the strands of India’s pre-colonial architectural history – from the Vedic and Native traditions of early India through Hindu Buddhist Islamic and secular architecture. This comprehensive revision Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent: From the Mauryas to the Mughals expands the structure to acknowledge the great advance in scholarship across this extremely complex subject over the last three decades. An understanding of Indian history and religion is the basis for understanding the complex pattern of relationships in the evolution of architecture in the subcontinent. Therefore background material covers major invasions migrations dynastic conflicts and cultural and commercial connections the main religious developments and their significance and repercussions and external architectural precedents. While avoiding the usual division of the subject into ‘Buddhist and Hindu’ and ‘Islamic’ parts in order to trace continuity the importance of religion symbolism and myth to the development of characteristic Indian architectural forms in all their richness and complexity is fully explained in this fully illustrated account of the subcontinent’s architecture. | Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

This book studies the reactions by external actors including the European Union to the events unfolding in the Arab world beginning in December 2010. In particular contributors look at external actors' attempts to balance their desire for stability with their normative principles toward human rights and democracy. The book compares the action (and inaction) of the EU with other international and regional players including the United States Russia Turkey and Israel and assesses the response of these actors to the Arabellions’ events analysing changes in their approaches to the Arab region. The contributions to this book answer three questions: (1) How have external actors assessed the ‘Arabellions’ and what role did they see for themselves in this context? (2) Which goals and instruments did external actors pursue toward the MENA region? In particular how did they deal with conflicting goals such as support for human rights and democracy on the one hand and concerns about security and stability on the other? (3) How can we explain the varying responses of external actors to the Arabellions? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration. | Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South offers an edited collection on planning in parts of the world which more often than not are unrecognised or unmarked in mainstream planning texts. In doing so its intention is not to fill a ‘gap’ that leaves this ‘mainstream’ unquestioned but to re-theorise planning from a deep understanding of ‘place’ as well as a commitment to recognise the diverse modes of practice that come within it. The chapters thus take the form not of generalised ‘universal’ analyses and prescriptions but instead are critical and located reflections in thinking about how to plan act and intervene in highly complex city regional and national contexts. Chapter authors in this Companion are not all planners or are planners of very different kinds and this diversity ensures a rich variety of insights primarily based on cases to emphasise the complexity of the world in which planning is expected to happen. The book is divided into a framing Introduction followed by five sections: planning and the state; economy and economic actors; new drivers of urban change; landscapes of citizenship; and planning pedagogy. This volume will be of interest to all those wanting to explore the complexities of planning practice and the need for new theories of knowledge from which to draw insight to face the challenges of the 21st century.

The Right to a Fair Trial

The Right to a Fair Trial

The right to a fair trial is often held as a central constitutional protection. It nevertheless remains unclear what precisely should count as a 'fair' trial and who should decide verdicts.

This collection The Right to a Fair Trial is the first to publish in one place the most influential work in the field on the following topics: including the right to jury trial; lay participation in trials; jury nullification; trial reform; the civil jury trial; and the more recent issue of terrorism trials. The collection should help inform both scholars and students of both the importance and complexity of the right to a fair trial as well as shed light on how the trial might be further improved.
