China's Use of Armed Coercion To Win Without Fighting

China's Use of Armed Coercion To Win Without Fighting

This book analyzes when how why and to what effect China has used its armed forces in recent decades to coerce other actors in the international system. Over the past 20 years China’s international status as a “great power” has become undeniable. China’s “peaceful rise” has included substantial investments in military modernization and an increasingly assertive regional posture. While China has not waged war since 1979 it has frequently resorted to what the U. S. State Department has referred to as “gangster tactics” – threats intimidation and armed confrontation – to advance its strategic aims. This volume illuminates the ways in which China has employed its military and paramilitary tools to coerce other states and examines the motivations and specific foreign policy objectives that China has pursued using force short of war. The study presents new analysis of an original dataset on coercive actions undertaken by China’s armed forces taking into account the political objectives pursued and the environmental contexts in which these operations occurred. It also presents a series of expert case studies addressing the most consequential examples of China using force to coerce in recent decades. The volume contributes to a more historically informed empirically based understanding of great power competition. This book will be of much interest to students of Chinese security and foreign policy strategic studies Asian politics and International Relations. | China's Use of Armed Coercion To Win Without Fighting

Freedom Responsibility and Value Essays in Honor of John Martin Fischer

Freedom Responsibility and Value Essays in Honor of John Martin Fischer

This volume celebrates the career of John Martin Fischer whose work on a wide range of topics over the past 40 years has been transformative and inspirational. Fischer’s semicompatibilist view of free will and moral responsibility is perhaps the most widely discussed view of its kind and his emphasis on the significance of reasons-responsiveness as the capacity that underlies moral accountability has been widely influential. Aside from free will and moral responsibility Fischer is also well-known for his work on freedom and foreknowledge the problem of evil the badness of death the meaning of life and the allure of immortality. This volume gathers new essays by leading scholars on some of the major themes of Fischer's work and it also includes a new piece by Fischer in which he offers a systematic reflection on and defense of the motivations that have shaped his theorizing about moral responsibility. Freedom Responsibility and Value will be of interest to scholars and students working on a variety of issues in metaphysics ethics and philosophy of religion. | Freedom Responsibility and Value Essays in Honor of John Martin Fischer

Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

The fundamental premise of Thinkback-based on overwhelming scientific evidence-is that intelligence is not fixed at birth and that with consistent effort we can dramatically improve our capacities. It counters the claims of some psychologists that it is impossible to increase intelligence because that ability is determined at birth. Thinkback builds on the Think Aloud strategies in Arthur Whimbey and Jack Lochhead's popular and widely used volume Problem Solving & Comprehension now in its sixth edition. Since its publication thousands of students have used these techniques for improving thinking and analytic reasoning to increase test scores win National Merit Scholarships and gain admission to top-ranked professional schools. Now Thinkback shows how these powerful strategies can be applied to a range of important academic areas including mathematics language arts social studies and science. Thinkback is a tool for student empowerment-a strategy they can use to improve both their ability to think and their ability to learn. The Thinkback classroom on the other hand is a design for teacher liberation-enabling them to see learning more clearly than they ever could before. This is the only book currently available that contains detailed models of metacognitive dialogues in the classroom. These dialogues enable teachers and teacher educators to observe thinking processes that have previously been invisible and undetectable. Based on over 20 years of careful cognitive research the dialogues provide teachers with important insights into the nature of thinking and problem solving. Thinkback is a picture window on the working mind. This book: Describes the Thinkback strategy for making thinking strategies explicit easy to teach and easy to learn. Includes numerous detailed examples that demonstrate the Thinkback technique. Six quite different learning strategies-deri | Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

This book explores European student migration from the perspectives of Eastern European students moving to Western Europe for study. Whilst most research on student migration in Europe focuses on the experiences of Western European students this book uniquely casts a light on Eastern European student migrants moving to the ‘West’. Mette Ginnerskov-Dahlberg deploys a novel approach to the subject by drawing on insights gleaned from a longitudinal study of master's students pursuing an education abroad and their multifaceted journeys after graduation. Thereby she brings their narratives to life and highlights the changes and continuities they experienced over a period of seven years fostering an understanding of student mobility as an activity enmeshed with adult commitments and long-term aspirations. Using Denmark as a case study of a host country Ginnerskov-Dahlberg analyses the trajectories of these students and situates their experiences within the wider socio-historical context of Eastern European post-socialism and the contemporary dynamics between EU and non-EU citizens in the welfare state of Denmark – reflecting issues playing out on the global stage today. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and mobility studies as well as human geography sociology higher education area studies and anthropology. | Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Revolutions in Learning and Education from India Pathways towards the Pluriverse

Revolutions in Learning and Education from India Pathways towards the Pluriverse

This book offers an important critique of the ways in which mainstream education contributes to perpetuate an inherently unjust and exploitative Development model. Instead the book proposes a new anarchistic postdevelopmental framework that goes beyond Development and schooling to ask what really makes a meaningful life. Challenging the notion of Development as a win-win relationship between civil society the state and the private sector the book argues that Development perpetuates a hierarchical world order and that the education system serves to reinforce and re-legitimise this unequal order. Drawing on real-life examples of ‘unschooling’ and ‘self-designed learning’ in India the book demonstrates that more autonomous approaches such as these can help to fundamentally challenge dominant ideas of education equality development and what it means to lead meaningful lives. The interdisciplinary approach pursued in this book makes it perfect for anyone with interests across the areas of education development studies radical political theory and philosophy. | Revolutions in Learning and Education from India Pathways towards the Pluriverse

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

The core content of even the most intricate intellectual edifices is often a simple fact or idea. So is it with quantum mechanics; the entire mathematical fabric of the formal description of quantum mechanics stems essentially from the fact that quantum probabilities interfere (i. e. from the superposition principle). This book is dedicated to substantiating this claim. In the process the book tries to demonstrate how the factual content of quantum mechanics can be transcribed in the formal language of vector spaces and linear transformations by disentangling the empirical content from the usual formal description. More importantly it tries to bring out what this transcription achieves. The book uses a pedagogic strategy which reverse engineers the postulates of quantum mechanics to device a schematic outline of the empirical content of quantum mechanics from which the postulates are then reconstructed step by step. This strategy is adopted to avoid the disconcerting details of actual experiments (however simplified) to spare the beginner of issues that lurk in the fragile foundations of the subject. In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics the key idea is measurement. But measurement carries an entirely different meaning from the connotation that the term carries elsewhere in physics. This book strives to underline this as strongly as possible. The book is intended as an undergraduate text for a first course in quantum mechanics. Since the book is self contained it may also be used by enthusiastic outsiders interested to get a glimpse of the core content of the subject. Features: Demonstrates why linear algebra is the appropriate mathematical language for quantum mechanics. Uses a reconstructive approach to motivate the postulates of quantum mechanics. Builds the vocabulary of quantum mechanics by showing how the entire body of its conceptual ingredients can be constructed from the single notion of quantum measurement. | An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

African Constructions of China Insights from Ghana and Kenya

African Constructions of China Insights from Ghana and Kenya

Marking a constructivist turn in Africa-China scholarship this book explores African constructions of China. Using Ghana and Kenya as case studies the book outlines the role of diverse state and non-state actors in defining what China represents to the region and how it compares to Western powers. Resisting Sino- and state-centric analysis of China-Africa relations this book emphasises the importance of African agency in shaping the discourse. The book demonstrates that the identity construction of a foreign state such as China takes place both at the international level and at a domestic intrastate level. Domestic constructions of China in Ghana and Kenya reflect internal tensions about future directions for African political and socioeconomic development and these constructions in turn help to justify government policies towards China. The book concludes by questioning the idea of a straightforward win-win relationship and suggests that exploitative hierarchical relations conventionally associated with North-South interactions may continue in South-South relations. This book’s important analysis of the role of domestic non-state actors in shaping African policymaking extends much needed nuance to a sometimes polarised debate. It will be of interest to researchers across the fields of politics international relations global development and African and Chinese Studies. | African Constructions of China Insights from Ghana and Kenya

Coming to Know

Coming to Know

First published in 1980 Coming to Know offers an account which runs counter to orthodox educational psychology in which learning and knowledge are reified emotional aspects are excluded the personal-social situation of the learner is ignored and the created character of knowledge with all its social and political ramifications is denied. This collection of work explores personal knowing in a wide range of activities from children’s classroom adjustment through student learning as a social practice to women’s perceptions of themselves. It argues that the processes of learning and knowing are not divorced from the learner as a person. Broadly humanistic in its approach Coming to Know provides a welcome counterbalance to the scientific theory of learning. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of educational psychology and also for teachers and educationists.
