The Eastern Question in 1870s Britain Democracy and Diplomacy, Orientalism and Empire【電子書籍】[ Leslie Rogne Schumacher ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book examines mid-Victorian discourse on the expansion of the British Empire’s role in the Middle East. It investigates how British political leaders, journalists and the general public responded to events in the Ottoman Empire, which many, if not most, people in Britain came to see as trudging towards inevitable chaos and destruction. Although this ‘Eastern Question’ on a post-Ottoman future was ostensibly a matter of international politics and sometimes conflict, this study argues that the ideas underpinning it were conceived, shaped, and enforced according to domestic British attitudes. In this way, this book presents the Eastern Question as as much a British question as one related in any way to the Ottoman Empire. Particularly in the crucial decade of the 1870s, debates in Victorian society on the Eastern Question served as proxies for other pressing issues of the day, including electoral reform, changing religious attitudes, public education, and the costs of maintainingBritain’s empire. This book offers new perspectives on the Eastern Question’s relationship to these trends in Victorian society, culture, and politics, highlighting its significance in understanding Britain’s imperial programme more widely in the second half of the nineteenth 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。

The Festival of India Development and Diplomacy at the End of the Cold War【電子書籍】[ Rashna Darius Nicholson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>An in-depth study of the Festival of India (1985?1986) in the United States, one of the biggest events ever mounted to promote goodwill between two countries. Comprising more than seven hundred programs of music, dance, drama, film shows, art exhibitions, and workshops sponsored by over two hundred cultural institutions across over a hundred cities, the festival constituted a prismatic event that refracted the complex forces at play on the global stage during the 1980s. The Element delineates how this multi-sited spectacle of unprecedented size and near unfathomable political, economic, and cultural influence impacted theatre and performance studies. Simultaneously, it traces how two complex historical shifts were communicated to the global public at the end of the Cold War: India's desire to transition from planned Nehruvian socialism to laissez faire capitalism and the efflorescence of the model of 'cultural development' that centred the arts in development.</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。

<p>In "Notes on the Diplomatic History of the Jewish Question," Lucien Wolf intricately dissects the political and diplomatic dynamics surrounding Jewish identity from the late 19th century into the early 20th century.

His prose combines an analytical style with a compelling narrative that captures the urgency of the Jewish plight amidst rising anti-Semitism. The work stands as a crucial scholarly contribution, contextualizing the evolving perceptions of Jews within the framework of international relations and humanitarian concerns. Lucien Wolf, a prominent Jewish historian and advocate in the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by his own experiences within the Jewish community that was negotiating its identity in an increasingly hostile environment.

Wolf'??s activism and extensive research lend a unique perspective, illuminating the complex interplay between diplomacy and cultural identity. This book is essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of Jewish history, diplomacy, and modern European political dynamics. Wolf's meticulous research and passionate engagement with the Jewish question offer invaluable insights into a multifaceted subject that resonates through today'??s global discourse on identity and rights.

War on Peace The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence【電子書籍】[ Ronan Farrow ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>A book for anyone interested to know more about how the world really works by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow.</strong></p> <p>‘This is one of the most important books of our time.’ Walter Isaacson ‘A masterpiece’ Dan Simpson, Post-Gazette THE NEW YORK TIMES #3 BESTSELLER</p> <p>US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America’s place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America’s deals and protect democratic interests around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. Increasingly, America is a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.</p> <p>In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth ? Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His first-hand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.</p> <p>Drawing on newly unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with warlords, whistle-blowers, and policymakers ? including every living secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson ? <em>War on Peace</em> makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, short-sightedness, and outright malice ? but it may just offer a way out of a world at war.</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。

<p>In "The Oregon Question," Albert Gallatin delves into the complex geopolitical and sociocultural dynamics surrounding the territorial disputes of the Pacific Northwest during the early 19th century. Written with clarity and precision, Gallatin employs a persuasive argumentative style, drawing on empirical evidence and historical precedent to advocate for American claims over the Oregon Territory. The work is grounded in the Enlightenment tradition of rational inquiry, reflecting the era's intellectual spirit while addressing not only the implications of land claims but also the moral dimensions of expansionism and diplomacy in a rapidly evolving America. Gallatin, a prominent statesman and diplomat, served as Secretary of the Treasury and a key figure in early American economic policy.

The book reflects Gallatin's deep understanding of both the political landscape and the cultural narratives that shaped American identity, revealing his nuanced perspective on manifest destiny and its consequences for indigenous populations and foreign relations. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers interested in American history, diplomacy, and territorial conflicts of the 19th century.

On the Embassy to Gaius Enriched edition. Exploring Diplomacy and Power in Ancient Alexandria【電子書籍】[ Philo ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "On the Embassy to Gaius," Philo of Alexandria presents a detailed narrative that explores the complex relationship between Jews and the Roman Empire during the first century CE. This work not only recounts the mission led by Jewish ambassadors to Emperor Gaius Caligula but also employs sophisticated rhetoric and philosophical reasoning to articulate the Jewish identity amidst a predominant Graeco-Roman milieu. Philo's illustrious command of both Hebrew traditions and Hellenistic thought positions the text as a critical bridge between two cultural landscapes, revealing the tension between religious fidelity and the exigencies of imperial governance. Philo, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher, was born in Alexandria, a hub of cultural exchange where Jewish and Greco-Roman ideas converged. His experiences as a leading member of the Jewish community in Alexandria, coupled with his profound engagement with Platonic and Stoic philosophies, deeply inform his writings. This particular work stems from the socio-political turmoil faced by the Jewish population under Gaius, reflecting Philo's urgent desire to defend and articulate the plight of his people within a challenging historical framework. I highly recommend "On the Embassy to Gaius" to scholars and enthusiasts alike, as it serves not only as a vital historical document but also as a profound philosophical treatise. It invites readers to contemplate the intricate dynamics of identity, power, and the cultural dialogues that have shaped our understanding of ancient civilizations. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</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。

The Future of British Foreign Policy Security and Diplomacy in a World after Brexit【電子書籍】[ Christopher Hill ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Since 1945, Britain has had to cope with a slow descent from international primacy. The decline in global influence was intended to be offset by the United Kingdom’s entry into Europe in 1975, with the result that national foreign policy came to rest on the two pillars of the Atlantic alliance and the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU. Yet, with Brexit, one of these pillars is now being removed, leaving Britain facing some serious challenges arising from the prospect of independence.</p> <p>In this incisive book, Christopher Hill explores what lies ahead for British foreign policy in the shadows of Brexit and a more distant and protectionist America under Donald Trump. While there is much talk of a renewed global profile for the UK, Hill cautions that this is going to be difficult to turn into practical reality. Geography, history and limited resources mean that Britain is doomed to seek a continued foreign policy partnership with the Member States of the Union ? only now it will be from outside the room looking in. As a result, there is the distinct possibility that both British and European foreign policies will end up worse off as the result of their divorce.</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。

The Back Channel A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal【電子書籍】[ William J. Burns ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>“A masterful diplomatic memoir” (<em>The Washington Post</em>) from CIA director and career ambassador William J. Burns, from his service under five presidents to his personal encounters with Vladimir Putin and other world leadersーan impassioned argument for the enduring value of diplomacy in an increasingly volatile world.</strong></p> <p>Over the course of more than three decades as an American diplomat, William J. Burns played a central role in the most consequential diplomatic episodes of his timeーfrom the bloodless end of the Cold War to the collapse of post?Cold War relations with Putin’s Russia, from post?9/11 tumult in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Middle East to the secret nuclear talks with Iran.</p> <p>In <em>The Back Channel,</em> Burns recounts, with novelistic detail and incisive analysis, some of the seminal moments of his career. Drawing on a trove of newly declassified cables and memos, he gives readers a rare inside look at American diplomacy in action. His dispatches from war-torn Chechnya and Qaddafi’s bizarre camp in the Libyan desert and his warnings of the “Perfect Storm” that would be unleashed by the Iraq War will reshape our understanding of historyーand inform the policy debates of the future. Burns sketches the contours of effective American leadership in a world that resembles neither the zero-sum Cold War contest of his early years as a diplomat nor the “unipolar moment” of American primacy that followed.</p> <p>Ultimately, <em>The Back Channel</em> is an eloquent, deeply informed, and timely story of a life spent in service of American interests abroad. It is also a powerful reminder, in a time of great turmoil, of the enduring importance of diplomacy.</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。

The Secret Power of Masonic Symbols The Influence of Ancient Symbols on the Pivotal Moments in History and an Encyclopedia of All the Key Masonic Terms【電子書籍】[ Robert Lomas ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>An illustrated guide to ancient Masonic symbols and how they have shaped our world throughout history.</strong><br /> For more than five hundred years, the symbology of Freemasonry has fostered a secret stream of radical ideas running just beneath the surface of popular culture today. These ideas, illuminated by public symbols hidden in full view, have influenced and shaped the society we have today. Despite this ongoing record of inspiration, no illustrated guidebook to the basic ideas of Masonic Symbology has even been published and the story remains mysteriousーuntil now.<br /> This authoritative guide reveals how this symbology has been the backdrop to key historical events in the history of humanity from ancient times and how, in more recent times, inspired leaders have harnessed the symbols' power to bring about change in society. Renowned Freemasonry historian Dr. Robert Lomas takes you inside the Secret Order and shows you how Entered Apprentices first learn their craft, and how continual exposure to these mystical symbols can change the way you think. You'll explore the six mysterious Tracing Boards that are at the heart of every Masonic Grand Lodge, ending with the final, most mystical symbol, known as "the Centre." Let <em>The Secret Power of Masonic Symbols</em> be your personal guide and show you how these symbols have made their indelible mark on the past, and how they will continue to influence society in the future.</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。

<p>Advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics are accelerating, and killer robots loom on the horizon. Like the atomic bomb, warbots raise moral dilemmas for their creators.

But unknown to all, another force to be reckoned with has plans of its own.</p> <p>Soon, most of the world's leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts find themselves in a dire situation that none could have imagined and perhaps no one can control.</p> <p>"Andrew Updegrove brings a rare combination of drama, satire and technical accuracy to his writing. The result is a book you can't put down that tells you things you might wish you didn't know." Admiral James G. Stavridis, retired Commander, U.S. European Command and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, and current vice chair, global affairs and managing director of the Carlyle Group</p> <p>"Andrew Updegrove's thrillers are realistic page-turners, making it clear that if you're not worried about cybersecurity you're not paying attention."

All of the charts work together so readers can have lots of fun exploring the endless options and making up their own combinations, playing with colors, adding in plain rows in between the charted rows and generally getting creative.</p> <p>There are instructions for how to use the charts across all the patterns - they all have the same stitch count and work across each of the 9 projects which include a range of accessories such as cowls, scarves, hats and mittens.</p> <p>Doodle knitting is all about having fun with pattern - choose your favorite motifs and create your own combinations. The 9 patterns have specific suggestions for pattern combinations but author, Jamie Lomax, explains how to modify all the projects to create your own versions.</p> <p>The patterns only combine two colors on each row so it's suitable for beginners to colorwork and because it's done on a small scale it's a great way for absolute beginners to try their hand at colorwork, but the large selection of patterns and designs means that more advanced knitters will have plenty to inspire them.</p> <p>The 200 designs are presented seasonally and there are a wide range of motifs including everything from flowers, leaves and mushrooms through to squirrels, sheep and other birds and animals.
