 Rosemary Durward, "Religion, Conflict and Military Intervention " English | ISBN: 0367740133 | 2020 | 198 pages | EPUB | 431 KB For many years religion has been the neglected component of international relations and yet in an age of globalization and terrorism, religious identity has become increasingly important in the lives of people in the West as well as the developing world. The secularization thesis has been overtaken by an increased desire to understand how religious actors contribute to both conflict and the resolution of conflict. This volume brings an exciting new perspective with fresh ideas and analyses of the events shaping conflict and conflict resolution today. The book uniquely combines chapters highlighting Christian and Islamist theological approaches to understanding and interpreting conflict, as well as case studies on the role of religion in US foreign policy and the Iraq war, with religious perspectives on building peace once conflicts are resolved. The volume provides an ideal starting point for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of the religious character of conflict in the twenty-first century and how such conflict could be resolved.  PROF. Cheng-tian Kuo, "Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies" English | 2017 | pages: 427 | ISBN: 9462984395 | PDF | 2,9 mb This book explores the interaction between religion and nationalism in the Chinese societies of mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Cheng-tian Kuo analyses the dominant religions, including Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, Islam, and folk religions, but he also goes beyond that, showing how in recent decades the Chinese state has tightened its control over religion to an unprecedented degree. Indeed, it could almost be said to have constructed a wholly new religion, Chinese Patriotism. The same period, however, has seen the growth of democratic civil religions, which could challenge the state.  Tania Haddad, "Religion and Civil Society in the Arab World: In the Vortex of Globalization and Tradition " English | ISBN: 1138561290 | 2018 | 190 pages | EPUB | 806 KB This book examines the links between civil society, religion and politics in the Middle East and North Africa region. The chapters in the volume explore the role of religion in shaping and changing the public sphere in regions that are developing and/or in conflict. They also discuss how these relations are reflected on civil society organizations and the role they are expected to play in transitional periods.  Nathanael Tilahun Ali, "Regulatory Counter-Terrorism: A Critical Appraisal of Proactive Global Governance " English | ISBN: 1138480096 | 2018 | 152 pages | EPUB | 473 KB Regulatory Counter-Terrorism explores an emerging terrain in which the global governance of terrorism is expanding. This terrain is that of proactive regulatory governance - the management of the day-to-day activities of individuals and entities in order to pre-emptively minimize vulnerability to terrorism. Overshadowed by the more publicized dimensions of military and criminal justice responses to terrorism, regulatory counter-terrorism has grown in size and impact without stirring up as much academic debate.  Brett Heino Lecturer Law School University of Wollongong Australia, "Regulation Theory and Australian Capitalism: Rethinking Social Justice and Labour Law " English | ISBN: 1786603551 | 2017 | 294 pages | EPUB | 902 KB The end of the post-World War II 'long boom' in the mid-1970s proved the beginning of a process of political-economic change that has fundamentally transformed labour law, both in Australia and across the developed world more generally. This is a phenomenon with deep ramifications for social justice.  Raj Chari, "Regulating lobbying: A global comparison, 2nd edition " English | ISBN: 1526117258 | 2019 | 256 pages | EPUB | 819 KB Governments worldwide are developing sunshine policies that increase transparency in politics, where a key initiative is regulating lobbyists. Building on the pioneering first edition, this book updates its examination of all jurisdictions with regulations, from the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Unlike any book, it offers unique insights into how the regulations compare and contrast against each other, offering a revamped theoretical classification of different regulatory environments and situating each political system therein. This edition innovatively considers different measurements to capture the robustness of lobbying laws in terms of promoting transparency and accountability. And, based on the authors' experience of advising governments globally, it closes with a no-nonsense guide on how to make a lobbying law. This is of value to policymakers seeking to introduce or amend regulations, and lobbyists seeking to influence this process.  David Andrew Singer, "Regulating Capital: Setting Standards for the International Financial System " English | ISBN: 0801476712 | 2010 | 176 pages | EPUB | 707 KB Financial instability threatens the global economy. The volatility of capital movements across national borders has led many observers to argue for a reformed "global financial architecture," a body of consistent rules and institutions to prevent financial crises. Yet regulators have a decidedly mixed record in their attempts to create global standards for the financial system. David Andrew Singer seeks to explain the varying pressures on regulatory agencies to negotiate internationally acceptable rules and suggests that the variation is largely traceable to the different domestic political pressures faced by regulators.  Matthew Louis Bishop, "Reglobalization " English | ISBN: 0367639300 | 2021 | 146 pages | EPUB | 1014 KB This book charts the way towards a better, repurposed globalization, which it calls 'reglobalization', and shows how this can be built, incrementally but realistically, via reforms to the partial and fragile existing structures of global governance.  Ernest Toochi Aniche, "Regionalism, Security and Development in Africa " English | ISBN: 0367862999 | 2021 | 306 pages | EPUB | 1081 KB This book charts the history and contemporary landscape of African regionalism, investigating how regional cooperation can be used to help to tackle security and development challenges in Africa.  Mario Telò, "Regionalism in Hard Times: Competitive and post-liberal trends in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas" English | ISBN: 1138206679 | 2016 | 86 pages | EPUB | 675 KB Brexit confirms that the EU is not a super-state in the making but rather an advanced regional organization. This book bridges the gap between EU studies and international relations by providing a student-friendly presentation of regional, multidimensional cooperation among neighbouring states and societies, its four epochs and relevant variations and similarities across five continents, its interplay with globalization, and the changing post-hegemonic and post-Cold War international order. |
