Free Download Igor Olegovich Cherednikov, "Parton Densities in Quantum Chromodynamics: Gauge Invariance, Path-dependence and Wilson Lines " English | ISBN: 3110439395 | 2016 | 226 pages | EPUB | 37 MB The purpose of this book is to give a systematic pedagogical exposition of the quantitative analysis of Wilson lines and gauge-invariant correlation functions in quantum chromodynamics. Using techniques from the previous volume (Wilson Lines in Quantum Field Theory, 2014), an ab initio methodology is developed and practical tools for its implementation are presented. Emphasis is put on the implications of gauge invariance and path-dependence properties of transverse-momentum dependent parton density functions. The latter are associated with the QCD factorization approach to semi-inclusive hadronic processes, studied at currently operating and planned experimental facilities.

Yet they have not been the focus of sustained scholarly attention. This collection focuses on different aspects of how major parties have been agents of - and subject to - change in three South Asian states (India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), examining some of the apparent paradoxes of politics in the subcontinent and covering issues such as gender, religion, patronage, clientelism, political recruitment and democratic regression. Recurring themes are the importance of personalities (and the corresponding neglect of institutionalisation) and the lack of pluralism in intraparty affairs, factors that render parties and political systems vulnerable to degeneration.  Free Download J. Ricardo Tranjan, "Participatory Democracy in Brazil: Socioeconomic and Political Origins" English | 2015 | ISBN: 0268042403 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 0.9 mb The largely successful trajectory of participatory democracy in post-1988 Brazil is well documented, but much less is known about its origins in the 1970s and early 1980s. In Participatory Democracy in Brazil: Socioeconomic and Political Origins, J. Ricardo Tranjan recounts the creation of participatory democracy in Brazil. He positions the well-known Porto Alegre participatory budgeting at the end of three interrelated and partially overlapping processes: a series of incremental steps toward broader political participation taking place throughout the twentieth century; short-lived and only partially successful attempts to promote citizen participation in municipal administration in the 1970s; and setbacks restricting direct citizen participation in the 1980s. What emerges is a clearly delineated history of how socioeconomic contexts shaped Brazil's first participatory administrations.  Free Download Diane Fromage, Ton van den Brink, "Parliaments in EU Economic Governance" English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367661179, 0367184478 | EPUB | pages: 144 | 0.9 mb This book considers national parliaments' and the European Parliament's role in European Union (EU) economic governance. It examines the recent strengthening of parliamentary involvement, limitations to improvements, and where and how democratic deficits still exist. It also provides the basis for some reflections concerning possible future evolutions and improvements to EU economic governance.  Free Download Philip Norton, "Parliaments and Citizens in Western Europe: Parliaments in Contemporary Western Europe" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0714643874, 0714648353 | EPUB | pages: 212 | 0.8 mb Citizens elect the parliament, but what contract takes place between citizen and parliament in between elections? The authors assess the extent and nature of that contact. To what extent are members of parliament accessible to the ordinary citizen? And what are the implications for the legislature? Can there be too much, or too little, contact?  Free Download Silvia Hufnagel, "Paper Stories - Paper and Book History in Early Modern Europe " English | ISBN: 3111154912 | 2023 | 454 pages | EPUB, PDF | 196 MB + 10 MB This peer-reviewed conference volume examines paper and material aspects of the written word in early modern Europe. The collection is designed around three thematic strands, based on the lifecycle of handwritten documents and manuscripts and printed books: first, production of paper, second production of books and manuscripts and third, trade and exchange, and ownership of manuscripts and books. By tracing the history of paper, books and collections through case studies of historically important objects, the authors identify agents and hotspots of production, trade and ownership from both centres and peripheries of Europe from the late Middle Ages until the beginning of industrialisation. They thereby address material aspects of documents, manuscripts and books, as well as object biography, from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. By doing so this volume provides insight into actual practices of the past and the material history of written texts.  Free Download Howard Burton, "Pants on Fire: On Lying in Politics: A Conversation with Martin Jay" English | 2020 | ASIN: B08MFKJ5H7 | EPUB | pages: 66 | 0.6 mb This book is based on an in-depth conversation with intellectual historian Martin Jay, UC Berkeley. A thought-provoking book in dialogue format examining Martin Jay's extensive research on lying in politics from Plato and St. Augustine to Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss.  Free Download Inderjit Panjrath, "Pakistan's Tactical Nuclear Weapons: Giving the devil more than his due?" English | 2018 | ISBN: 9386457601 | EPUB | pages: 154 | 0.6 mb Amidst many developments in the constantly evolving Indo-Pak conflict paradigm, the latest and perhaps the most intriguing has been the induction of Tactical Nuclear Weapons (TNWs) by Pakistan. While nuclear sabre rattling is not new to Pakistan's strategy, this time around there seems to be a strong pitch among security analysts to project these as the proverbial 'Brahmastra' in its possession, foreclosing any sort of military retaliatory strike by India. This is significant at a time when sporadic Pak sponsored terror attacks on Indian soil continue unabated. For the Indian security analysts this raises some pertinent questions.  Free Download M. b. Naqvi, "Pakistan at Knife's Edge" English | 2010 | ISBN: 817436790X | EPUB | pages: 264 | 0.6 mb Pakitan at the Knife's Edge is veteran journalist M.B.Naqvi's understanding of contemporary Pakistan and the directions the country could take or ought to. From the sacking of the Chief justice of the Supreme Court, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, by General Pervez Musharraf, to the return of Benazir Bhutto and her assasination on 27 December 2007, the book traces the lawyer's agitation to the general elections in 2008, and also the rise of more vocal civil society.  Free Download Brig (Retd) Darshan Khullar, "Pakistan Our Difficult Neighbour and India's Islamic Dimensions" English | 2014 | ISBN: 9382652752, 9384464295 | EPUB | pages: 232 | 0.3 mb In this remarkably candid book, the author has taken a hard look at Pakistan, in his words our difficult neighbour and analysed the reasons as to why the two countries have never been friends and probably will not be in the future, at least not in the immediate one. The author attributes India's failure to neutralise Pakistan to its kind of near constant Gandhian (passive) approach to India's security interests. The author believes that the future of Muslims in India is bright and that it would be quite a lusterless country without them. It is a matter of time before India has its first Muslim Prime Minister but this will happen when the latter represents interests of all Indians and not merely those of the Muslims. His study of Muslims is spread of a wide range of inter related perspectives. |
