The Great Delusion Liberal Dreams and International Realities【電子書籍】[ John J. Mearsheimer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A renowned scholar argues that liberal hegemonyーthe policy America has pursued since the Cold War endedーis doomed to fail</strong></p> <p><strong>Named a <em>Financial Times</em> Best Book of 2018</strong></p> <p><strong>“Idealists as well as realists need to read this systematic tour de force.”ーRobert D. Kaplan, author of</strong> <em><strong>The Return of Marco Polo’s World</strong></em></p> <p>It is widely believed in the West that the United States should spread liberal democracy across the world, foster an open international economy, and build international institutions. The policy of remaking the world in America’s image is supposed to protect human rights, promote peace, and make the world safe for democracy. But this is not what has happened. Instead, the United States has become a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home.</p> <p>In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemonyーthe foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War endedーis doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad. <em>The Great Delusion</em> is a lucid and compelling work of the first importance for scholars, policymakers, and everyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,136円

大幻象:自由主義之夢與國際現實 The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities【電子書籍】[ 約翰?米爾斯海默 ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**權力、國族,才是理解國際政治的王道!<br /> 追求自由與平等的夢想,只會帶來無窮的戰爭。</p> <p>全球最知名、也最有爭議的國際關係學者,<br /> 從人性論出發,全面批判「自由主義霸權外交」的荒謬與禍害。**</p> <p>  ★美國國家安全顧問蘇利文推薦:「米爾斯海默的思想永遠是一針見血!」</p> <p>  ★《金融時報》2018年度政治類好書:「《大幻象》呈現了一種灰暗的世界觀,但也許普丁與川普會欣賞。」</p> <p>  個人,而非國家,才是人類政治社會的主體,也是政府服務的主要對象。在進入20世紀之後,這樣的自由主義思想經常被認為是一種超越各種意識形態之上的「普世價?」。以保障、促進?個人不可?奪的天賦權利為依歸的民主政府,也被公認為最理想的政府體制。</p> <p>  與此同時,以美國為首的西方國家也以推廣自由主義為外交政策之號召,經常帶頭對抗侵犯公民權利的威權主義國家。蘇聯解體後,國際社會的「單極體系」形成,?任的美國總統都以宣揚自由主義為己任。小布希總統在伊拉克戰爭前的宣示──「美國的國防利益,和美國的自由信念,都指著同一個方向,就是把自由與和平帶給伊拉克……推進自由是我們這個時代的使命,也是我們國家的使命。」──是最傳神的代表。</p> <p>  然而,美國這種看似出立意良善的政策,被本書作者、芝加哥大學政治系教授米爾斯海默譏為一種「自由主義霸權」政策。而這三十年來美國在阿富汗、伊拉克曠日廢時的戰爭、大中東地區的烽火連天,普丁不顧國際制裁悍然入侵烏克蘭,乃至於美國政府對他國人民的無端殺戮、對?部人民隱私與言論自由的侵犯,都是這種錯誤政策的後果。</p> <p>  米爾斯海默指出,美國外交精英的錯誤正在於忽略了現實主義與國族主義這兩大思想才是國際社會運作的根本,也是各個主權國家行為的最終依據。自由主義者對於普世的個人權利有盲目的幻想,更錯誤地貶低了民族認同、國家生存、與主權尊嚴在指導國家行為上的至高重要性,以致於經常採行不切實際、損人不利己的外交政策。</p> <p>  ★俄國入侵烏克蘭,為什麼是美國的錯?<br />   ★中國的崛起,對美國的霸權有什麼意義?<br />   ★如果美國放棄自由主義霸權政策,對臺灣的影響是什麼?</p> <p>  米爾斯海默的思想一向以豐富詳細的史實為出發、以嚴謹的邏輯推理為工具,一??推導出清晰易?、難以辯駁的結論,但其基於殘酷的權力計算之現實主義思維,亦讓一般讀者乃至充滿理性的知識分子與決策精英難以接受。其成名作《大國政治的悲劇》於2001年出版時,即已斷言僅管冷戰已經結束,大國必然擴張,國家衝突在所難免,全球化與歐盟整合帶來的樂觀情緒難以持久。2014年他又在《國家利益》雜誌上發表〈向台灣?再見〉(Say Goodbye to Taiwan)一文,引發臺灣讀者的巨大震撼。</p> <p>  2022年烏克蘭戰爭的爆發,使米爾斯海默再度成為全球矚目的焦點。不同於西方主流媒體對俄羅斯的譴責,米爾斯海默甘冒大不諱地指出,是西方盟國忽略了現實主義政治的邏輯、北約再三侵犯了俄羅斯生存所需的空間,才導致普丁不得不反?。如此「大逆不道」的言論自然遭到自由派人士的大力撻伐,但米氏仍不改其志。他在芝加哥大學所做的主題演講〈為什麼烏克蘭是西方的錯?〉(Why is Ukraine the West's Fault?)的Youtube影片獲得將近2000萬人次的?覽、1.5萬篇的留言,堪稱政治學界的奇蹟。</p> <p>  《大幻想:自由主義之夢與國際政治現實》是一部深入淺出的新經典,以大量的史實、俯拾即是的名言金句與清晰的邏輯,建構起國族主義與現實主義的理論巨廈,一方面力陳自由主義外交邏輯的錯誤,也對近三十年來美國外交政策的愚昧提出嚴レイ批判。鑑於米氏在學術界崇高的地位,本書是任何關心美國外交政策與世界政治局勢之讀者所不能錯過。</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,604円

Solving Tough Problems An Open Way of Talking, Listening, and Creating New Realities【電子書籍】[ Adam Kahane ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Adam Kahane has worked on some of the toughest, most complex problems in the world. He started out as an expert analyst and advisor to corporations and governments, convinced of the need to calculate “the one right answer.” After an unexpected experience in South Africa during the transition away from apartheid, he got involved in facilitating a series of extraordinary high-conflict, high-stakes problem-solving efforts: in Colombia during the civil war, in Argentina during the collapse, in Guatemala after the genocide, in Israel, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, and the Basque Country. Through these experiences, he learned to create environments that enable new ideas and creative solutions to emerge even in the most stuck, polarized contexts. Here Kahane tells his stories and distills from them an approach all of us can use to solve our own toughest problemsーat home, at work, in our communities, and in national and international affairs. “This breakthrough book addresses the central challenge of our time: finding a way to work together to solve the problems we have created.” ーNelson Mandela</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,917円

The Myths and Realities of the Viking Berserkr【電子書籍】[ Roderick Dale ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The viking <em>berserkr</em> is an iconic warrior normally associated with violent fits of temper and the notorious <em>berserksgangr</em> or berserker frenzy. This book challenges the orthodox view that these men went ‘berserk’ in the modern English sense of the word. It examines all the evidence for medieval perceptions of <em>berserkir</em> and builds a model of how the medieval audience would have viewed them. Then, it extrapolates a Viking Age model of <em>berserkir</em> from this model, and supports the analysis with anthropological and archaeological evidence, to create a new and more accurate paradigm of the Viking Age <em>berserkr</em> and his place in society. This shows that <em>berserkir</em> were the champions of lords and kings, members of the social elite, and that much of what is believed about them is based on 17th-century and later scholarship and mythologizing: the medieval audience would have had a very different understanding of the Old Norse <em>berserkr</em> from that which people have now. The book sets out a challenge to rethink and reframe our perceptions of the past in a way that is less influenced by our own modern ideas.</p> <p>The Myths and Realities of the Viking berserkr will appeal to researchers and students alike studying the Viking Age, Medieval History and Old Norse Literature.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,343円

Contested Utopia Jewish Dreams and Israeli Realities【電子書籍】[ Marc J. Rosenstein ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This first book to examine the Jewish state through the lens of Jewish utopian thought, from its biblical beginnings to modernity, offers a fresh perspective on the political, religious, and geopolitical life of Israel. As Marc J. Rosenstein argues, the Jewish people’s collective memories, desires, hopes, and faith have converged to envision an ideal life in the Land of Israelーbut, critically, the legacy is a kaleidoscope of conflicting (and sometimes overlapping) visions. And after three millennia of imagining utopia, it is almost impossible for Jews to respond to Israel’s realities without being influencedーeven unconsciouslyーby these images.</p> <p>Charting the place of utopian thought in Judaism, Rosenstein then illustrates, with original texts, diverse utopian visions of the Jewish state: Torah state (Yavetz), holy community (based on nostalgic memories of the medieval community), national-cultural home (Lewinsky), “normal” state (Herzl), socialist paradise (Syrkin), anarchy (Jabotinsky), and a polity defined by Israel’s historic or divinely ordained borders. Analyzing how these disparate utopian visions collide in Israel’s attempts to chart policy and practice regarding the Sabbath, social welfare, immigration, developing versus conserving the land, and the Israel-Diaspora relationship yields novel perspectives on contemporary flashpoints. His own utopian vision offers a further entryway for both Israelis and Diaspora Jews into more informed and nuanced conversations about the “Jewish state.”</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,205円

Boundaries of Self and Reality Online Implications of Digitally Constructed Realities【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As technology continues to rapidly advance, individuals and society are profoundly changed. So too are the tools used to measure this universe and, therefore, our understanding of reality improves. <em><strong>Boundaries of Self and Reality Online</strong></em> examines the idea that technological advances associated with the Internet are moving us in multiple domains toward various "edges." These edges range from self, to society, to relationships, and even to the very nature of reality. Boundaries are dissolving and we are redefining the elements of identity. The book begins with explorations of the digitally constructed self and the relationship between the individual and technological reality. Then, the focus shifts to society at large and includes a contribution from Chinese researchers about the isolated Chinese Internet. The later chapters of the book explore digital reality at large, including discussions on virtual reality, Web consciousness, and digital physics.</p> <ul> <li>Cyberpsychology architecture</li> <li>Video games as a tool for self-understanding</li> <li>Avatars and the meaning behind them</li> <li>Game transfer phenomena</li> <li>A Jungian perspective on technology</li> <li>Politics of social media</li> <li>The history and science of video game play</li> <li>Transcendent virtual reality experiences</li> <li>The theophoric quality of video games</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,410円

Language and Politics in the United States and Canada Myths and Realities【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume critically analyzes and explains the goals, processes, and effects of language policies in the United States and Canada from historical and contemporary perspectives. The focus of this book is to explore parallel and divergent developments in language policy and language rights in the two countries, especially in the past four decades, as a basis for reflection on what can be learned from one country's experience by the other. Effects of language policies and practices on majority and minority individuals and groups are evaluated. Differences in national and regional language situations in the U.S. and Canada are traced to historical and sociological, demographic, and legal factors which have sometimes been inappropriately generalized or ignored by ideologues. The point is to show that certain general principles of economics and sociology apply to the situations in both countries, but that differing notions of sovereignty, state and nation, ethnicity, pluralism, and multiculturalism have shaped attitudes and policies in significant ways. Understanding the bases for these varying attitudes and policies provides a clearer understanding of the idiosyncratic as well as more universal factors that contribute to tensions between groups and to outcomes, many of which are unintended. The volume makes clear that language matters always involve issues of culture, economics, politics, individual and group identities, and local and national histories.</p> <p>The chapters provide detailed analyses on a wide range of issues at the national, state/provincial, and local levels in both countries. The chapter authors come from a variety of academic disciplines (education, geography, journalism, law, linguistics, political science, and sociology), and the findings, taken together, contribute to an evolving, interdisciplinary theory of language policy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,618円

Spiritual Realities - Are We Blind To Them? Search For Truth Bible Series【電子書籍】[ Brian Johnston ]

Do our eyes, our hearts, need opening to some spiritual realities, too? In this book, Brian Johnston outlines 8 spiritual realities that could easily be missed: the reality of being dead in our sins, the reality of being united with Christ, the reality of being chosen from eternity, the reality of being members of Christ's Body, the reality of being living stones in God's House, the reality of knowing Christ, the reality of meeting with God on earth, the reality of worshipping in heaven.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 450円

Parables of the Posthuman Digital Realities, Gaming, and the Player Experience【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Boulter ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In its intimate joining of self and machine, video gaming works to extend the body into a fluid, dynamic, unstable, and discontinuous entity. While digital gaming and culture has become a popular field of academic study, there has been a lack of sustained philosophical analysis of this direct gaming experience. In Parables of the Posthuman: Digital Realities, Gaming, and the Player Experience, author Jonathan Boulter addresses this gap by analyzing video games and the player experience philosophically. Finding points of departure in phenomenology and psychoanalysis, Boulter argues that we need to think seriously about what it means to enter into a relationship with the game machine and to assume (or to have conferred upon you) a machinic, posthuman identity. Parables of the Posthuman approaches the experience of gaming by asking: What does it mean for the player to enter the machinic "world" of the game? What forms of subjectivity does the game offer to the player? What happens to consciousness itself when one plays? To this end, Boulter analyzes the experience of particular role-playing video games, including Fallout 3, Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Crysis 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4. These games both thematize the idea of the posthumanーthe games are “about” subjects whose physical and intellectual capacities are extended through machine or other prosthetic meansーand also enact an experience of the posthuman for the player, who becomes more than what he was as he plays the game. Boulter concludes by exploring how the game acts as a parable of what the human, or posthuman, may look like in times to come. Academics with an interest in the intersection of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and popular culture forms and video gamers with an interest in thinking about the implications of gaming will enjoy this volume.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,337円

Mad Mobs and Englishmen? Myths and realities of the 2011 riots【電子書籍】[ Professor Cliff Stott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In August 2011, London and many other English towns and cities erupted into some of the worst rioting for decades. David Cameron blamed a broken society with a sick morality; Tony Blair a defiant underclass. Yet with no evidence to support their claims, their remarks were typical of the storm of uninformed comments that followed the riots, based largely on longstanding misconceptions of why people riot. With their extensive expertise in crowd behaviour and psychology, and years of research experience studying crowds, riots and hooliganism worldwide, psychologists Steve Reicher and Cliff Stott challenge the myths of the 2011 riots perpetuated in the media and elsewhere; consider the reality on the ground and how to avoid a repeat scenario.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 854円

Afro-Brazilians in Telenovelas Social, Political, and Economic Realities【電子書籍】[ Samantha Nogueira Joyce ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>Afro-Brazilians in Telenovelas: Social, Political, and Economic Realities</em>, Samantha Nogueira Joyce examines representations of Blackness on Brazilian TV, interrogating the role of mass media in developing racial equality and social change. Nogueira Joyce challenges assumptions that place the inclusion of Afro-Brazilians in mass media as a step towards racial progress while contextualizing media representation with the social, political, and economic realities of the Brazilian society at large, thus linking media representations to progressive gains and conservative backlashes in the Brazilian public sphere. This book joins conversations with other works on multiculturalism, Blackness, and whiteness within media studies, critical race and ethnic studies, and Latin American studies. This multilayered approach combines textual analysis with studies of political and economic systems and digital media activism to carefully unravel Brazilian racial dynamics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,302円

Obstetric Violence: Realities, and Resistance from Around the World【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this book, we make space to interrogate obstetric violence; from its historical and legal roots and contemporary realities, to responses of advocacy and resistance. Through the lens of obstetric violence, we are able to see overlap in structural vulnerability across continents as well as recognize the ways in which obstetric violence is symptomatic of larger global problems including systemic injustices related to reproductive health. Combining the perspectives of care providers, birthing people, advocates and researchers, our volume seeks to include both a systematic and structural understanding of obstetric violence. We bring together diverse voices, from practitioners, to activists, to academics, and provide a global perspective on obstetric violence with research from around the world, including indigenous communities from North America (Canada and Hawaii), examples from Latin American and Caribbean countries as well as country-specific cases from Argentina, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Portugal, and the United States. The range of disciplinary perspectives and global experiences presented in this book demonstrates that obstetric violence is neither bound to one discipline, nor site specific. Together the chapters of this volume work to understand obstetric violence, moving beyond static definitions towards a spectrum of lived experiences that highlight three main areas: Legislation and Policy, Experiencing Obstetric Violence, and Advocacy, Resistance and Reframing. The time for a global recognition of obstetric violence ? of the larger structural forces embedded in systems that cross cultures and violate bodies in acutely vulnerable life moments ? is now. By naming it and saying it out loud we recognize obstetric violence exists and can together begin the process of systemic change necessary to prevent it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,400円

Imaginary Plots and Political Realities in the Plays of William Congreve【電子書籍】[ Maximillian E. Novak ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>William Congreve wrote his plays and his novella, <em>Incognita</em>, during a time of immense social and political upheaval. The revolution of 1688 brought with it a rash of new ideas. William and Mary were monarchs chosen by a Convention of Englishmen, not rulers chosen by divine right. And new ideas in philosophy and politics, most notably expressed in the writings of John Locke, gave a new shape to the way the world was perceived. Congreve, an ardent supporter of the dual monarchy and later of William III, was depicted by Charles Lamb and many later critics as writing comedies that had no connection with the real world. To the contrary, his writings reflect a strong engagement with the changes occurring in the social milieu of the time. The new sense of political liberty brought with it greater social equality; the lapse in the Licensing Act brought greater freedom in publishing. And while the attack upon the stage by Jeremy Collier in 1698 was to rein in some of the explorative nature of comedy during the 1690s, Congreve took advantage of the new freedoms from the events of 1688 to write sophisticated comedies that both exploited this liberation and criticised it.</p> <p>This book attempts to examine Congreve’s major writings in the light of these changes by beginning with what appears to have been the questions raised by what may be seen as skepticism about the family, the collapse of concepts of marriage and the debates over divorce that dominated the decade. The book demonstrates how Congreve’s plays were very much a part of this; however, in his comedies, he always managed to achieve a light surface affect. This is perhaps never truer than in his first publication, his novella <em>Incognita</em>. Yet what appears to be an amusing series of mistaken identities resembling what was called a “Spanish plot” turns out to contain some serious questions about identity and some doubts about the way we understand our world. After demonstrating the political ambiguities of <em>The Old Batchelor</em>, the book shows how the betrayal of the family to which the lovers, Mellefont and Cynthia, are attached, by the sinister Maskall, is a fairly blatant attack on the politics of Jacobitism. Congreve followed this with the lighter <em>Love for Love</em>, which, beneath its odd Egyptian imagery, contains an attack upon the patriarchal concept of government still accepted by the followers of the deposed king, James II. In his tragi-comedy, <em>The Mourning Bride</em>, Congreve allowed his plot to carry the weight of the Whig rebellion, giving his lovers the epistemology of perception that belonged to the new world of the 1690s, compared to the uncontrolled passions of the past. In his final play, <em>The Way of the World</em>, he demonstrates how his lovers of 1700 reveal a combination of sensibility and canniness that make them capable of facing the complexities of the new century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,274円
