Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

There has been a recent increase in clashes between warships asserting rights to navigate and states asserting sovereignty over coastal waters. This book argues for a set of rules which respect the rights of coastal states to protect their sovereignty and of warships to navigate lawfully whilst also outlining the limits of each. The book addresses the issue of the clash between warships and states by considering the general principles applying to use of force in the law of the sea and the law of national self-defence. It focuses on the right of coastal states to use force to prevent passage of warships which threaten their sovereignty with particular reference to the specific maritime zones as well as by warships to ensure passage or to defend themselves. The book also assesses the extent to which the law of armed conflict may be applicable to these issues. The conclusion draws together a set of rules which take account of both contemporary and historical events and seeks to balance the competing interests at stake. Providing a concise overview of the enduring issue of freedom of navigation this book will appeal to anyone studying international law the law of the sea security studies and international relations. It will also be of interest to naval coast guard and military officers as well as government legal advisors. | Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

Poverty and the Critical Security Agenda

Poverty and the Critical Security Agenda

Poverty and the Critical Security Agenda argues that poverty should be a central concern of security studies and critiques existing methodological approaches to poverty and 'well-being'. Using the Philippines as a case study this book is critical of approaches to poverty that portray the poor as passive objects as opposed to dynamic actors. With this in mind the relationship between poverty and democracy as a means to facilitating human security is central. Poverty acts as a major behavioural force in international relations not least for the state and therefore merits increased visibility within the research agenda. This text is highly relevant for courses on international relations methodology and critical theory development studies security studies and international political economy.

The Origin and Goal of History

The Origin and Goal of History

Karl Jaspers (1883–1969) was a German psychiatrist and philosopher and one of the most original European thinkers of the twentieth century. As a major exponent of existentialism in Germany he had a strong influence on modern theology psychiatry and philosophy. He was Hannah Arendt’s supervisor before her emigration to the United States in the 1930s and himself experienced the consequences of Nazi persecution. He was removed from his position at the University of Heidelberg in 1937 due to his wife being Jewish. Published in 1949 the year in which the Federal Republic of Germany was founded The Origin and Goal of History is a vitally important book. It is renowned for Jaspers' theory of an 'Axial Age' running from the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. Jaspers argues that this period witnessed a remarkable flowering of new ways of thinking that appeared in Persia India China and the Greco-Roman world in striking parallel development but without any obvious direct cultural contact between them. Jaspers identifies key thinkers from this age including Confucius Buddha Zarathustra Homer and Plato who had a profound influence on the trajectory of future philosophies and religions. For Jaspers crucially it is here that we see the flowering of diverse philosophical beliefs such as scepticism materialism sophism nihilism and debates about good and evil which taken together demonstrate human beings' shared ability to engage with universal humanistic questions as opposed to those mired in nationality or authoritarianism. At a deeper level The Origin and Goal of History provides a crucial philosophical framework for the liberal renewal of German intellectual life after 1945 and indeed of European intellectual life more widely as a shattered continent attempted to find answers to what had happened in the preceding years. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Christopher Thornhill.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

'Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever' Often dismissed as kitsch sentimentalism Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music has proven an enduringly popular and surprisingly influential cultural icon both within the field of musical theatre and the wider world. The Broadway production won five Tony Awards the London production became the longest-running West End musical and the movie version was the highest-grossing film of all time. This book examines how the musical heralded the end of an era on Broadway; its reinvention of history and biography; how the film has influenced future stage productions; the ways in which it put child performers centre stage; and how nearly 60 years after its stage debut the musical still has a direct impact on the modern world from the United States to the Middle East. In this series of short essays Julian Woolford re-examines the musical from seven different perspectives revealing the ways in which it continues to impact the 21st century. | Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Sociology in the Soviet Union and Beyond Social Enquiry and Social Change

This fascinating and comprehensive volume traces the development scope and character of sociological research in Russia and subsequently the Soviet Union from the turn of the 20th century to the 1990s.

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Public sector management and accounting scholarship has witnessed enormous change over the last four decades. Several reform paradigms have become well-known and disseminated worldwide under acronyms such as NPM – New Public Management NPG – New Public Governance and PV – Public Value. At the start of a new decade questions arise as to what will come next. This book reviews and investigates the key components of NPM NPM and PV and discusses what lies beyond these acronyms. It analyses the claimed benefits and drawbacks of each of the three paradigms using reviews of the pertinent literature as well as a raft of case studies. The integration of theoretical and empirical insights contributes to a better understanding of what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. Specifically this book stands out in its use of performance measurement and budgetary lenses to explore the multidimensional processes of reform and change in the public sector. By focusing on the crucially important transformations that have occurred in the field reviewing several paradigms and analysing different practices from a longitudinal and comparative perspective the book will be essential in guiding students and scholars of public management and accounting. | Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

'Hasa Diga Eebowai' In 2011 a musical full of curse words and Mormon missionaries swept that year’s Tony Awards and was praised as a triumphant return of the American musical. This book explores the inherent achievements (and failures) of The Book of Mormon—one of the most ambitious and problematic musicals to achieve widespread success. The creative team members—Matt Parker Trey Stone and composer Robert Lopez—were collectively known for their aggressive use of taboo subjects and crude punchy humor. Using the metaphor of boxing Granger explores the metaphorical punches the trio delivers and ruminates over the less-discussed ideological wounds that their style of shock absurdism might leave behind. This careful examination of where The Book of Mormon succeeds and fails is sure to challenge discussion of our understanding of musical comedy and our appreciation for this cultural landmark in theatre. | Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson J. S. Mill De Quincy Ruskin Arnold Pater and Wilde Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style rhetoric and technologies of communication. In particular Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression. | Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe

The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe

Though Jane Austen (1775-1817) and the poet George Crabbe (1754-1832) each wrote during the Napoleonic Wars no full-length study has considered the importance of these pivotal events to their writing. In The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe the author argues that both writers were unusually responsive to the economic anxieties specific to wartime occasioned especially by the Napoleonic trade embargo imposed on Britain from 1806 to 1812 and shared a particular concern with the economizing of space. The author's term 'spatial economy' refers to the practice of turning available resources to the best possible account which these authors applied even to the practice of writing as they strove to preserve space on the page (Austen in her letters and Crabbe in the couplet). Their work displays a preoccupation with boundaries pressure and containment which also informs economic treatises published during this period. Through close readings and fresh contextual and historical analysis that draws on the ideas of contemporary thinkers such as Thomas Malthus William Spence William Cobbett Arthur Young and Humphrey Repton Winborn not only establishes a close affinity between Austen and Crabbe but makes a convincing case for rethinking the relationship between the novel and poetry during the Romantic period.

Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

This timely intervention into composition studies presents a case for the need to teach all students a shared system of communication and logic based on the modern globalizing ideals of universality neutrality and empiricism. Based on a series of close readings of contemporary writing by Stanley Fish Asao Inoue Doug Downs and Elizabeth Wardle Richard Rorty Slavoj Zizek and Steven Pinker this book critiques recent arguments that traditional approaches to teaching writing grammar and argumentation foster marginalization oppression and the restriction of student agency. Instead it argues that the best way to educate and empower a diverse global student body is to promote a mode of academic discourse dedicated to the impartial judgment of empirical facts communicated in an open and clear manner. It provides a critical analysis of core topics in composition studies including the teaching of grammar; notions of objectivity and neutrality; empiricism and pragmatism; identity politics; and postmodernism. Aimed at graduate students and junior instructors in rhetoric and composition as well as more seasoned scholars and program administrators this polemical book provides an accessible staging of key debates that all writing instructors must grapple with. | Teaching Writing Rhetoric and Reason at the Globalizing University

The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West

The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West

First published in 1998 this volume asks: are new social classes in the making in eastern Europe? Are class issues withering away? How do different classes organize their lives what kind of strategies do they adopt in East and West. Markku Kivinen brings Eastern Europe into the class debate. Recent sociological discussions have touched upon questions of class in Eastern Europe only very provisionally. On the other hand old analyses of social stratification under conditions of 'actually existed socialism' are no longer relevant in the current situation. This book analyses processes of class relations in Eastern Europe from new theoretical vantage-points using up-to-date empirical data. Under socialism power was said to be vested in the working class. However there was a constant tension between the 'holy proletariat' and the real life of the working class. Today all political forces in Eastern Europe; leftist and liberal alike are hankering for the middle class. This book explores the real processes in both East and West. This leads to more concrete political and even moral issues. The new 'sacred middle class' is challenged. The contributors adopt several conceptual approaches and perspectives which enter into a fruitful exchange in this book. | The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West
