Security Dynamics in the South China Sea Contemporary Challenges and Opportunities【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume examines the South China Sea’s regional security dynamics, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for both littoral and non-littoral states.</p> <p>The South China Sea is a vital pathway for the great container ships and tankers, as well as for the naval vessels of today. Indeed, the security of the contemporary global economy is reliant more than ever upon the dependability of freedom of navigation through the waters of the South China Sea. This volume concentrates on the security of the South China Sea sub-region. It is designed to help illuminate the contemporary security dynamics within this important sub-region by highlighting its development, the contemporary challenges and opportunities confronting both the littoral states and the non-littoral powers that are active in the sub-region, and the policy responses of those states as they seek to defend and promote their national interests. This book is composed of 16 chapters and is organized into five thematic sections. Part I of the book is designed to set the historical context. Part II examines some of the contemporary challenges and opportunities that present themselves in the sub-region, while Part III focuses on Chinese policy in the South China Sea sub-region. Parts IV and Part V analyse and evaluate the contemporary policies of the various littoral and non-littoral powers that are active in the South China Sea sub-region. The collective analyses and assessments of the contemporary perceptions and policies of the various littoral and non-littoral powers active in the South China Sea in response to the traditional and non-traditional challenges within the sub-region that are examined in the chapters contained in Parts III, IV, and V, framed against the material presented in Parts I and II, provides the basis for observations concerning areas of conflicting and coinciding interests in the concluding chapter of the book.</p> <p>This book will be of interest to students of the South China Sea, maritime security, Asian politics, and international relations.</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。 9,602円

Memoirs of a Born Free Reflections on the New South Africa by a Member of the Post-apartheid Generation【電子書籍】[ Malaika Wa Azania ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Apartheid isn't overーso Malaika Wa Azania boldly argues in <em>Memoirs of a Born Free</em>, her account of growing up black in modern-day South Africa. Malaika was born in late 1991, as the white minority government was on its way out, making her a "Born Free"ーthe name given to the generation born after the end of apartheid. But Malaika's experience with institutionalized racism offers a view of South Africa that contradicts the implied racial liberation of the so-called Rainbow Nation. Recounting her upbringing in a black township racked by poverty and disease, the death of a beloved uncle at the hands of white police, and her alienation at multiracial schools, she evokes a country still held in thrall by de facto apartheid. She takes us through her anger and disillusionment with the myth of black liberation to the birth and development of her dedication to the black consciousness movement, which continues to be a guiding force in her life. A trenchant, audacious, and ultimately hopeful narrative, <em>Memoirs of a Born Free</em> introduces an important new voice in South Africanーand, indeed, globalーactivism.</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。 2,285円

The Political Economy of Rural Electrification in India - Comparison to South African Experience, Colonialism and Independence, Kutir Jyothi Program (KYP), Post-Independence Distributive Politics【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This late 2018 report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. As developing countries climb the ladder of economic and social development, providing electricity to their poorest citizens becomes a social imperative, but the distribution of electricity in poverty-stricken regions is frequently more complex than simply installing electrical towers. This study focuses on rural electrification in India; how politics interacts with technical and economic factors in the design and implementation of the government's electrification schemes. It finds that entrenched political interests, developed during Britain's colonial era and cultivated in the years since independence, have historically been more interested in rent-seeking and treating electricity as a political favor than in developing electrical infrastructure. India's unique legacy of colonial, distributive, and bureaucratic politics have resulted in a patronage-oriented political economy that affects the relationship between citizens and would-be electrical providers and also has direct impacts on investment and development in the electricity sector.</p> <p>This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.</p> <p>I.

Conclusions and Implications * A. Barriers to Electrification * B. Key Findings</p> <p>What explains the patterns of rural electrification in India? This study examines the politics of rural electrification in India, including an assessment of the extent to which corruption and colonial roots played a role, in order to provide the context surrounding the technological/engineering, political, and economic factors that determine how and where electrification is implemented. It finds that entrenched political interests, developed during Britain's colonial era and cultivated in the years since independence, have historically been more interested in rent-seeking and treating electricity as a political favor than in developing electrical infrastructure. India's unique legacy of colonial, distributive, and bureaucratic politics have resulted in a patronage-oriented political economy that affects the relationship between citizens and would-be electricity providers and also has direct impacts on investment and development in the electricity sector.</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。 742円

The American Race A Linguistic Classification and Ethnographic Description of the Native Tribes of North and South America【電子書籍】[ Daniel G. Brinton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The American Race," Daniel G. Brinton embarks on an insightful examination of the diverse origins and cultural legacies of the Indigenous peoples of North America. This pioneering work, rooted in the late 19th-century anthropological context, employs a blend of ethnographic analysis and historical narrative to dissect the evolution of the American race. Brinton's literary style is marked by candid observation and scholarly rigor, often weaving personal insights with extensive research, reflecting the burgeoning field of American ethnology during an era grappling with concepts of race and identity. Daniel G. Brinton, a prominent American physician and anthropologist of his time, was profoundly influenced by the prevailing ideologies of racial classification and cultural anthropology. His extensive travels and studies of Native American cultures fueled his desire to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Indigenous populations, countering misconceptions of his era. Brinton's background in medicine allowed him to apply empirical methodologies to his work, making "The American Race" not only a cultural critique but also a scientific inquiry into the America's demographic tapestry. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of race, culture, and history in America. Brinton's nuanced exploration invites both scholars and lay readers to reconsider the complexities of identity formation in the New World, making it an essential addition to the study of American anthropology and history.</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。 150円

New World Order and Small Regions The Case of South Caucasus【電子書籍】[ Emil Avdaliani ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the unfolding geopolitical changes in the South Caucasus in the age of increased great power competition across Eurasia. Recent research on the geopolitics of the South Caucasus focuses either on interstate relations among Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia or on each of regional actor’s (Russia, Turkey and Iran) ties with the region’s one or all three states. Little attempt has been made to see the region’s shifting geopolitical importance from a global perspective: growing US-China rivalry and shifting balance of power in Eurasia; recalibration of the US’ military and diplomatic vision in western Eurasia to adjust to the Chinese challenge. The book argues, from a theoretical point of view, that the increased competition in the region fits into the global pattern of unfolding great power competition, when military and economic calculations drive regional powers to increase their influence on immediate neighborhoods sidelining the collective West from the negotiating table and the emerging new security architecture.</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。 13,369円

Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South Race, Labor, and Power: A Deep Dive into Post-Civil War South【電子書籍】[ Timothy Thomas Fortune ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South," Timothy Thomas Fortune presents a profound examination of the socio-political landscape of the Southern United States during the post-Civil War era. The book is a critical analysis of the interwoven dynamics of race, land ownership, and labor relations, articulating the myriad challenges faced by newly freed African Americans in a segregated society. Fortune employs a compelling narrative style marked by rhetorical finesse and incisive commentary, reflecting the broader themes of Reconstruction and its failures. Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, he paints a vivid picture of the systemic oppression that pervaded the South, revealing the stark contrasts between the lives of black and white citizens. Timothy Thomas Fortune was an influential African American journalist, editor, and political activist who laid bare the injustices faced by black Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His own experiences with racial discrimination and his commitment to advocating for civil rights deeply informed the creation of this work. Fortune's editorial positions, particularly with publications like the "New York Age," provided him a platform to address the socio-economic disparities and political disenfranchisement he passionately opposed. I wholeheartedly recommend "Black and White" to scholars and general readers alike, for it not only contextualizes the historical struggles of African Americans but also serves as a potent reminder of the legacies of inequality that continue to resonate today. Fortune's eloquent prose and astute observations not only inform but also challenge readers to reflect on the enduring implications of race and power in contemporary society.</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。 150円

Brothers in War and Peace Constand and Abraham Viljoen and the Birth of the New South Africa【電子書籍】[ Dennis Cruywagen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Abraham and Constand Viljoen were identical twins who took starkly different paths in life. One was a deeply religious man, who opposed apartheid; the other was a man of war, who became head of the SADF. But together they would play a crucial role in preventing South Africa from descending into civil war.<br /> In the early 1990s, Constand came out of retirement to head the Afrikaner Volksfront, which opposed the negotiations with the ANC and made plans for military action. Realising that war would destroy their country, Abraham approached his estranged brother and urged him to consider the alternative: talks with the ANC. What followed was a series of secret meetings and negotiations that ultimately prevented civil war.<br /> Brothers in War and Peace documents the crucial yet largely unheralded role the Viljoen brothers played in ensuring peace in South Africa. Based on interviews with the brothers and other key political figures, the book gives new insights into a time when the country’s future was on a knife-edge.</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。 1,483円

Dirty South OutKast, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, and the Southern Rappers Who Reinvented Hip-Hop【電子書籍】[ Ben Westhoff ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Rap music from New York and Los Angeles once ruled the charts, but nowadays the southern sound thoroughly dominates the radio, <em>Billboard</em>, and MTV. Coastal artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Ice-T call southern rap “garbage,” but they're probably just jealous, as artists like Lil Wayne and T.I. still move millions of copies, and OutKast has the bestselling rap album of all time.</p> <p>In <em>Dirty South</em>, author Ben Westhoff investigates the southern rap phenomenon, watching rappers “make it rain” in a Houston strip club and partying with the 2 Live Crew's Luke Campbell. Westhoff visits the gritty neighborhoods where T.I. and Lil Wayne grew up, kicks it with Big Boi in Atlanta, and speaks with artists like DJ Smurf and Ms. Peachez, dance-craze originators accused of setting back the black race fifty years. Acting both as investigative journalist and irreverent critic, Westhoff probes the celebrated-but-dark history of Houston label Rap-A-Lot Records, details the lethal rivalry between Atlanta MCs Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy, and gets venerable rapper Scarface to open up about his time in a mental institution. <em>Dirty South</em> features exclusive interviews with the genre's most colorful players.</p> <p>Westhoff has written a journalistic tour de force, the definitive account of the most vital musical culture of our time.</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。 1,860円

Indian Independence Act 1947 Decolonizing South Asia: The Path to Independence and Partition【電子書籍】[ Parliament of the United Kingdom ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Indian Independence Act of 1947 stands as a landmark legislative document, intricately detailing the legal framework for the partition of British India into two sovereign states: India and Pakistan. Through its succinct yet comprehensive provisions, the Act delineates the transfer of power from British colonial rule to Indian leadership, representing a dramatic shift in the political landscape of South Asia. The text employs a formal legal style, reflective of its legislative origins, and is contextualized within the broader tapestry of decolonization, which reshaped global power dynamics in the mid-20th century. Its historical significance is underscored by the complex negotiations that preceded it, coupled with the tumultuous socio-political environment of the time. The Parliament of the United Kingdom, representing the imperial authority during India's struggle for independence, crafted this pivotal Act in response to mounting pressures from nationalist movements and global trends favoring self-determination. Influenced by key figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, the Parliament's decision to legislate Indian independence mirrored the moral and ethical imperatives of the post-World War II epoch, where colonial empires were rapidly being dismantled. This critical text should be read by students of history, political science, and international relations alike, as it provides crucial insights into the complexities surrounding one of the most significant events of the 20th century. The Indian Independence Act of 1947 is not merely a legal document but a narrative that captures the aspirations and struggles of millions, making it essential for a deeper understanding of contemporary India and its historical trajectory.</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。 310円

Israel and South Africa The Many Faces of Apartheid【電子書籍】[ Ronnie Kasrils ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Within the already heavily polarised debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa remain highly contentious. A number of prominent academic and political commentators, including former US president Jimmy Carter and UN Special Rapporteur John Dugard, have argued that Israel's treatment of its Arab-Israeli citizens and the people of the occupied territories amounts to a system of oppression no less brutal or inhumane than that of South Africa's white supremacists. Similarly, boycott and disinvestment campaigns comparable to those employed by anti-apartheid activists have attracted growing support. Yet while the 'apartheid question' has become increasingly visible in this debate, there has been little in the way of genuine scholarly analysis of the similarities (or otherwise) between the Zionist and apartheid regimes.</p> <p>In <em>Israel and South Africa</em>, Ilan Papp?, one of Israel's preeminent academics and a noted critic of the current government, brings together lawyers, journalists, policy makers and historians of both countries to assess the implications of the apartheid analogy for international law, activism and policy making. With contributors including the distinguished anti-apartheid activist Ronnie Kasrils, Israel and South Africa offers a bold and incisive perspective on one of the defining moral questions of our age.</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。 3,344円
