 Politics and War in the Three Stuart Kingdoms, 1637-49 (British History in Perspective) By David Scott 2003 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0333658736 | PDF | 1 MB The 1640s were one of the most exciting and bloody decades in British and Irish history. This book interweaves the narrative threads in each theater of conflict to provide an "holistic" account and analysis of the wars in and between England, Scotland, and Ireland from the Covenanter Rebellion to the execution of Charles I. Using a wide range of original and secondary sources, the author offers a challenging new interpretation of political structure and dynamics in the warring Stuart kingdoms.  Politics and Practices of Transborderism: Identity and Education at the Mexico-US Border (Global Migration and Social Change) English | 20 Jan. 2026 | ASIN: B0F5YJHH7T | 148 pages | EPUB (True) | 1.41 MB What is it like to cross the Mexico-US border every day just to go to school? Imagine waking before dawn, crossing an international border alone and navigating a school system that wasn't built for you. This book follows former transborder learners-students who lived in Mexico before the pandemic and studied in the US -as they go about their daily routines. From militarised checkpoints to exclusive classroom dynamics, these young people reveal a border that is lived, felt and constantly negotiated. Through their voices, the book challenges dominant ideas of security and control, offering a powerful case for transborder policies rooted in care, connection and the everyday realities of youth who live between nations.

While systematically covering the 'mainstream' ideologies of Liberalism, Conservatism, and Socialism, the author also examines challenges to mainstream ideas from nationalists, feminists, and Green thinkers, and the ideological controversy surrounding racism and multiculturalism. He concludes by reviewing the prospects for post-Thatcher Conservatism and New Labor's 'Third Way' in an apparently increasingly depoliticized Britain.  Political Economy of Illegal Drugs By Pierre Kopp 2003 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0203496043 | PDF | 2 MB With debates surrounding the decriminalisation of certain illegal drugs raging in many countries around the world, this new book is a timely and sober reflection on one of the biggest social problems facing the world at large.

Political Communications in Greater China By Gary Rawnsley 2003 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 070071734X | PDF | 4 MB This book examines the role played by political communications, including media of all kinds - journalism, television, and film - in defining and shaping identity in Greater China; China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. In the context of increasing cross-border interactions of people, investment and commercial products between the component parts of greater China, the book explores the idea that identity, rather than nation-states or political entities, may be the key factor in achieving further integration in Greater China. The book focuses on the ways in which identity is communicated, and shows how communication of identity within and between the component parts of greater China plays a central role in bringing about integration.
