American Isolationism Between the World Wars The Search for a Nation's Identity

American Isolationism Between the World Wars The Search for a Nation's Identity

American Isolationism Between the World Wars: The Search for a Nation's Identity examines the theory of isolationism in America between the world wars arguing that it is an ideal that has dominated the Republic since its founding. During the interwar period isolationists could be found among Republicans and Democrats Catholics and Protestants pacifists and militarists rich and poor. While the dominant historical assessment of isolationism — that it was provincial and short-sighted — will be examined this book argues that American isolationism between 1919 and the mid-1930s was a rational foreign policy simply because the European reversion back to politics as usual insured that the continent would remain unstable. Drawing on a wide range of newspaper and journal articles biographies congressional hearings personal papers and numerous secondary sources Kenneth D. Rose suggests the time has come for a paradigm shift in how American isolationism is viewed. The text also offers a reflection on isolationism since the end of World War II particularly the nature of isolationism during the Trump era. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of U. S. Foreign Relations and twentieth-century American history. | American Isolationism Between the World Wars The Search for a Nation's Identity

Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Addressing the rupture between religious and social sciences in Arab universities this book provides a critical assessment of the curricula of Shariah and Islamic Studies departments across the Arab World arguing for increased interdisciplinary dialogue. Based on over 250 interviews with university students and teachers this study is the sum of five years of field research observing the curricula and teaching styles of colleges in the Shariah sciences. The author provides critical insight into these curricula by focusing on case studies in Lebanon and Jordan Morocco Kuwait and Qatar and in Malaysia. In doing so the book aims to answer the following questions: What is the aim of religious education? Does it aim to create people who specialize solely in religious affairs or does it aim to form the student according to a comprehensive human framework? What is the nature of the relationship between the social sciences and the Shariah sciences? The book concludes by examining three pioneering institutions which have introduced alternative curricula in teaching Shariah studies. The book has wide geographic and ideological coverage and will appeal to university students academics and policy analysts working across a range of disciplines including the philosophy of knowledge Islamic law and education and sociology. | Studying Islam in the Arab World The Rupture Between Religion and the Social Sciences

Communications and the 'Third World'

Communications and the 'Third World'

Originally published in 1971. An introduction to the rapidly-changing field of modern communications at the time this book brings together a wide range of literature from Africa Asia and Latin America. It presents a critical revaluation of the dominant theoretical perspectives which informed Third World communications studies and it challenges popular and often greatly misinformed perceptions of the nature and the uniformity of current Third World communications. The author gives an account of the significant shifts in the theoretical orientation of cultural analysis in Third World societies explaining the vast differences between these societies in their levels of industrialization communications and cultural production and their ability to utilize modern mass communications and business-oriented technologies. He reveals that the differences can sometimes be greater than those between advanced capitalist and Third World countries and comes to reject the usefulness of the concept of Third World in understanding the nature of communications systems in different national societies. | Communications and the 'Third World'

Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

This book builds on theory of authoritarian regionalism and is the first attempt to analyse the interaction of authoritarian regional organizations in Eurasia with their global and regional counterparts (NATO EU WTO IMF etc. ). It analyses three decades of the development of post-Soviet regional organizations prior to the tectonic geopolitical and security changes of 2022. Eurasian regional organizations created by Russia have been frequently perceived as attempts to establish ‘alternatives’ to the global governance institutions and to compete with other regional organizations like for example the European Union (EU). They are seen as a pronounced example of ‘authoritarian regionalism’ i. e. regional organizations established by non-democracies. The way they interact with global and regional institutions has however remained understudied. This book aims to close this gap. It places Eurasia within a global context and considers similar trends world-wide as well as outlines the agenda for future studies of global versus regional governance. The book sheds light on long-term strategies of Russia in Eurasia in global economy and in world politics and on the interaction between Russia and other post-Soviet states. With an extended introduction and conclusion this book is an insightful resource for scholars; advanced students; and researchers of politics international relations and Eurasian area-studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Post-Communist Economies. | Global Governance and Interaction between International Institutions Eurasian International Organizations in the World Politics and Economy

Between Constantinople the Papacy and the Caliphate The Melkite Church in the Islamicate World 634-969

Between Constantinople the Papacy and the Caliphate The Melkite Church in the Islamicate World 634-969

This volume examines the Melkite church from the Arab invasion of Syria in 634 until 969. The Melkite Patriarchates were established in Antioch Jerusalem and Alexandria and following the Arab campaigns in Syria and Egypt they all came under the new Muslim state. Over the next decades the Melkite church underwent a process of gradual marginalization moving from the privileged position of the state confession to becoming one of the religious minorities of the Caliphate. This transition took place in the context of theological and political interactions with the Byzantine Empire the Patriarchate of Constantinople the Papacy and over time with the reborn Roman Empire in the West. Exploring the various processes within the Melkite church this volume also examines Caliphate–Byzantine interactions the cultural and religious influences of Constantinople the synthesis of Greek Arab and Syriac elements the process of Arabization of communities and Melkite relations with distant Rome. | Between Constantinople the Papacy and the Caliphate The Melkite Church in the Islamicate World 634-969

Revival: Between the Wars (1948)

Revival: Between the Wars (1948)

In Between The Wars Mr Somervell examines those twenty-one years of uneasy peace which elapsed between the First and Second World Wars and analyses the gradual deterioration in international relations which marked the period. The victorious all-powerful Allies of 1919 by founding the League of Nations with its prospects of open diplomacy and its machinery for negotiation hoped to set up new standards of behaviour between sovereign states and eliminated war as a method of settling disputes. How were these good intentions thwarted? Why did a second catastrophe engulf Europe in 1939? Mr Somervell ranges widely over world events of the inter-war years in his search for answers to these questions. He shows how in most countries democracy that form of Government which the creators of the Versailles Treaty fervently hoped to secure in the world seldom imposed a rational will on its statesmen; on the contrary public opinion inclined to the extremes of apathy and hysteria. He also demonstrates how the discoverers of misapplied science offered tempting new weapons to fanatical dictators avid for world power. We have just lived through the war that resulted from that epoch of muddle and drift; now is the moment for us to examine it critically as a chapter of history. Mr Somervill offers us valuable help in his detached and lucid survey. | Revival: Between the Wars (1948)
