Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity The Baltic Sea Region

Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity The Baltic Sea Region

What is power and how is it effective? This volume responds to these questions in terms of regional international relations with a particular focus on the Baltic Sea region an area still charged with a residue of Cold War conflict and power disparity in a setting of new cooperative ventures. Each contributor examines the region from a different angle and discusses how its actors coped with the new situation facing them after 1991. The volume looks at how governments have defined their new circumstances how they have dealt with the opportunity to shift to a new mode of coexistence and collaboration and how they have tackled the challenge of peacefully converting their region to a security community. The book breaks with tradition by adopting a new thematic approach based on regional issues and functions rather than a country-by-country discourse. It will be of critical value to readers interested in security studies and European politics. | Security Strategies Power Disparity and Identity The Baltic Sea Region

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 Problem of China

The Problem of China

'China by her resources and her population is capable of being the greatest power in the world after the United States. ' Bertrand Russell The Problem of China In 1920 the philosopher Bertrand Russell spent a year in China as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Beijing (then Peking) where his lectures on mathematical logic enthralled students and listeners including Mao Tse Tung who attended some of Russell’s talks. Written at a time when China was largely regarded by the West as backward and weak The Problem of China sees Russell rise above the prejudices of his era and presciently assess China's past present and future. Russell brings his analytical and insightful eye to bear on some fundamental aspects of China’s history and politics cautioning China against adopting a purely Western model of social and economic development which he regarded as characterized by a combination of greed and militarism. Beginning with an overview of nineteenth-century Chinese history and considering China's relations with Japan and Russia Russell then contrasts Chinese civilization with Western. He devotes a fascinating chapter to the character of the Chinese which he argues is complex but ultimately defined by a ‘pacific temper’. With uncanny foresight Russell predicts China’s resurgence but only if it is able to establish an orderly government promote industrial development under Chinese control and foster the spread of education. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new introduction by Bernard Linsky.

Supporting EMI Students Outside of the Classroom Evidence from Japan

Supporting EMI Students Outside of the Classroom Evidence from Japan

There is a growing body of research on English-medium Instruction (EMI) in Asian contexts and much of this research points out difficulties experienced by stakeholders. This volume takes up the issue of support for EMI which is and which can be offered to students outside of the classroom in order to help them succeed academically in an EMI environment. Dr Ruegg’s book demonstrates the effectiveness of such support in the Japanese context. It begins by examining the support currently available for students in English-medium full degree programmes then goes on to examine one successful support service in more detail in order to determine the kinds of effects that can be achieved by establishing such a centre. The research reported in this book was conducted in Japan but the findings will apply in other locations especially in other Asian countries. The information provided in the book is expected to inform institutions who are looking to either establish an English-medium degree programme or improve on an existing programme by sharing information about the practices of other institutions. | Supporting EMI Students Outside of the Classroom Evidence from Japan

Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume One Montesquieu Comte Marx De Tocqueville: The Sociologists and the Revolution of 1848

Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume One Montesquieu Comte Marx De Tocqueville: The Sociologists and the Revolution of 1848

This is the first part of Raymond Aron's landmark two-volume study of the sociological tradition—arguably the definitive work of its kind. More than a work of reconstruction Aron's study is at its deepest level an engagement with the very question of modernity: how did the intellectual currents which emerged in the eighteenth century shape the modern political and philosophical order? With scrupulous fairness Aron examines the thoughts and arguments of the major social thinkers to discern how they answered this question. Volume One explores three traditions: the French liberal school of political sociology represented by Montesquieu and Tocqueville; the Comtean tradition anticipating Durkheim in its elevation of social unity and consensus; and the Marxists who posited the struggle between classes and placed their faith in historical necessity. In his customary clear and penetrating prose Aron argues that each of these schools offers its own theory of the diversity of societies and that each is inspired both by moral convictions and by scientific hypotheses. This Routledge Classics edition includes an introduction by Daniel J. Mahoney and Brian C. Anderson. | Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume One Montesquieu Comte Marx De Tocqueville: The Sociologists and the Revolution of 1848

Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

In Climate Obstruction: How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet Kristoffer Ekberg Bernhard Forchtner Martin Hultman and Kirsti Jylhä bring together crucial insights from environmental history sociology media and communication studies and psychology to help us understand why we are failing to take necessary measures to avert the unfolding climate crisis. They do so by examining the variety of ways in which meaningful climate action has been obstructed. This ranges from denial of the scientific evidence for human-induced climate change and its policy consequences to (seemingly sincere) acknowledgement of scientific evidence while nevertheless delaying meaningful climate action. The authors also consider all those actions by which often well-meaning individuals and collectives (unintendedly) hamper climate action. In doing so this book maps out arguments and strategies that have been used to counter environmental protection and regulation since the 1960s by first and foremost corporations supported by conservative actors but also far-right ones as well as ordinary citizens. This timely and accessible book provides tools and lessons to understand identify and call out such arguments and strategies and points to actions and systemic and cultural changes needed to avert or at least mitigate the climate crisis. | Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

The World of Goods

The World of Goods

It is well-understood that the consumption of goods plays an important symbolic role in the way human beings communicate create identity and establish relationships. What is less well-known is that the pattern of their flow shapes society in fundamental ways. In this book the renowned anthropologist Mary Douglas and economist Baron Isherwood overturn arguments about consumption that rely on received economic and psychological explanations. They ask new questions about why people save why they spend what they buy and why they sometimes-but not always-make fine distinctions about quality. Instead of regarding consumption as a private means of satisfying one’s preferences they show how goods are a vital information system used by human beings to fulfill their intentions towards one another. They also consider the implications of the social role of goods for a new vision for social policy arguing that poverty is caused as much by the erosion of local communities and networks as it is by lack of possessions and contrast small-scale with large-scale consumption in the household. A radical rethinking of consumerism inequality and social capital The World of Goods is a classic of economic anthropology whose insights remain compelling and urgent. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Richard Wilk. Forget that commodities are good for eating clothing and shelter; forget their usefulness and try instead the idea that commodities are good for thinking. – Mary Douglas and Baron Isherwood
