Solution Protocols to Festering Island Disputes ‘Win-Win' Solutions for the Diaoyu / Senkaku Islands

Solution Protocols to Festering Island Disputes ‘Win-Win' Solutions for the Diaoyu / Senkaku Islands

Since the coming into force of the United Nations Law of the Sea states have been targeting outlying islands to expand their exclusive economic zones simultaneously stirring up strident nationalism when such plans clash with those of neighbouring states. No such actions have brought the world closer to the brink of war than the ongoing face-off between China and Japan over the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands an uninhabited archipelago in the East China Sea.

A closer look at the circumstances and processes that brought contending regional powers to an honourable even mutually advantageous settlement over islands provides a convincing and original argument as to why the conflict over the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands need not conclude in a ‘zero-sum’ or 'winner takes all' solution as is the likely outcome of both open conflict and international arbitration.

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

Roger Hilton

Roger Hilton

This title was first published in 2003. Twenty-seven years after his death Roger Hilton's reputation as a leading figure in British 'abstract expressionism' continues to rise. Following the major retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in 1993 and the drawings survey at the Tate St Ives in 1997 this lavishly illustrated account is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and work of this important artist. Hilton's extraordinary career is discussed in all its phases from the intriguing earliest explorations in paint to the inception of his first abstract pieces around 1950 and the complex and intriguing interchanges of imagery and form that mark his final works. Adrian Lewis explains the artist's mature works as both attracting the viewer and resisting easy reading and discusses in detail the artist's debt to the Ecole de Paris and his relation to the notion of the 'act of painting' that pervaded post-war culture.

Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis

Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis

Building on their long-lasting scientific partnership Civitarese and Ferro offer an array of thought-provoking writings bolstered by extensive clinical material attesting to their shared interpretation of psychoanalysis not only as a treatment for psychic suffering but also as inherently pleasurable and vitalizing. In chapters that reflect inclinations fantasies and obsessions that are both shared and personal and by engaging with topics various enough to include dreams ethics emotions and aesthetics the authors demonstrate how the practice of psychoanalysis might no longer be an insidiously moralistic or ideological exercise but rather a practice aimed at opening up and liberating the mind. By providing detailed engagement with the work of Bion and Ogden as well as insights from their own substantial expertise the authors explore how the synonymous concepts of playing and vitality can meaningfully inform and change clinical psychoanalytic practice. With rich clinical material and a strong foundation in established theory this book will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic therapists and postgraduate students hoping to make more room in the psychoanalytic lexicon for words like pleasure dreaming creativity hospitality and growth. | Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis

The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

Martin Frobisher's third (1578) voyage to Baffin island was the consequence of flawed logic and excessive optimism on the part of the adventurers of the ephemeral 'Company of Cathay'. Their original intention - to find a north-western route to the Far East - had been largely forgotten following the imagined discovery of gold - and silver-bearing ore in Meta Incognita (the Unknown Limits) as Elizabeth I had named the forbidding and icy landscape which Frobisher and seventeen mariners had first sighted two years earlier. This was to be the English nation's first experience of a 'gold-rush' and if many refused to be swayed by the promise of an empire to rival that of Spain others including the Queen herself and many of her Privy Councillors allowed their cupidity to override all caution. As the likelihood of future profits was downgraded in successive assays of the mineral samples the adventurers accepted that a much larger expedition would be required to extract sufficient ore to provide an adequate return upon monies already spent. The result - a fleet of fifteen ships crewed by almost five hundred men - remains the largest fleet ever to have visited Baffin Island. Their travails in arctic seas near-comic failures of navigation and the backbreaking task of mining the largest possible amount of mineral ore in the time allowed by the brief arctic summer were recorded in an unsurpassed body of eyewitness reports all of which for the first time have been assembled in a single volume. Supplemented by extremely detailed and opprobrious (though substantially accurate) accusations regarding Frobisher's role in this enterprise by his ex-partner the merchant Michael Lok these records provide a graphic poignant and often humorous picture of a voyage which foreshadowed the glorious failures of a later age of English empire-building. | The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin is a pioneer of a political sociology of religion that integrates a combined analysis of nationalism and political religions with the history of religion. He was one of the first critics of the so-called secularization thesis and his historical orientation makes him one of the few outstanding scholars who have continued the work begun by Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. This collection provides the first scholarly overview of his hugely influential work and includes a chapter written by David Martin himself. Starting with an introduction that contextualises David Martin’s theories on the sociology of religion both currently and historically this volume aims to cover David Martin’s lifework in its entirety. An international panel of contributors sheds new light on his studies of particular geographical areas (Britain Latin America Scandinavia) and on certain systematic fields (secularization violence music Pentecostalism the relation between sociology and theology). David Martin’s concluding chapter addresses the critical points raised in response to his theories. This book addresses one of the key figures in the development of the sociology of religion and as such it will be of great interest to all scholars of the sociology of religion. | David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma: Why do Populists Win? shines compelling new light on the way in which the systematic targeting and manipulation of human physiology remain a cornerstone of all populist political campaigns. Readers wishing to make sense of the populist juggernauts of Trump and Brexit and of the cyclical and formulaic nature of the rise and fall of charismatic populism will find this book particularly appealing. Elesa Zehndorfer begins by presenting a highly applied explanation of the critical importance of political physiology physiology theory neuroscience and evolutionary biology in populist charismatic politics. She later eloquently explains how manipulation of physiological variables (such as heightened testosterone and dopamine) renders the political rally one of the most powerful weapons in a populist leaders’ campaign. Weber’s seminal conceptualisation of charisma ‘in statu nascendi’ and Hyman Minsky’s insightful theories of cyclical boom-and-bust scenarios are then juxtaposed alongside physiological theory to greatly amplify our understanding of the powerful biological antecedents of charismatic populism. These theoretical observations are then applied directly to recent high-profile populist campaigns – including the 2016 Trump Presidential campaign and early Presidency – and the Brexit referendum to elucidating and compelling effect. Ultimately Evolution Politics and Charisma paints a clear evolutionary picture of the way in which politics is an emotional – not a rational – process where our emotions are continually targeted to great and strategic effect and where the most recent intersection of technology and physiology has driven the greatest surge in populism ever seen across the Western hemisphere since the 1930’s. Acknowledging this reality opens up exciting vistas in our understanding of the true power of charismatic populism and provides answers as to how its seductive and often dangerous power can be effectively resisted. | Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

An Analysis of Natalie Zemon Davis's The Return of Martin Guerre

An Analysis of Natalie Zemon Davis's The Return of Martin Guerre

Few stories are more captivating than the one told by Natalie Zemon Davis in The Return of Martin Guerre. Basing her research on records of a bizarre court case that occurred in 16th-century France she uses the tale of a missing soldier – whose disappearance threatens the livelihood of his peasant wife – to explore complex social issues. Davis takes rich material – dramatic enough to have been the basis of two major films – and uses it to explore issues of identity women's role in peasant society the interior lives of the poor and the structure of village society all of them topics that had previously proved difficult for historians to grapple with. Davis displays fine qualities of reasoning throughout – not only in constructing her own narrative but also in persuading her readers of her point of view. Her work is also a fine example of good interpretation – practically every document in the case needs to be assessed for issues of meaning. | An Analysis of Natalie Zemon Davis's The Return of Martin Guerre
