Empire【電子書籍】[ Michael Hardt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Imperialism as we knew it may be no more, but Empire is alive and well. It is, as Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri demonstrate in this bold work, the new political order of globalization. It is easy to recognize the contemporary economic, cultural, and legal transformations taking place across the globe but difficult to understand them. Hardt and Negri contend that they should be seen in line with our historical understanding of Empire as a universal order that accepts no boundaries or limits. Their book shows how this emerging Empire is fundamentally different from the imperialism of European dominance and capitalist expansion in previous eras. Rather, today’s Empire draws on elements of U.S. constitutionalism, with its tradition of hybrid identities and expanding frontiers.</p> <p><em>Empire</em> identifies a radical shift in concepts that form the philosophical basis of modern politics, concepts such as sovereignty, nation, and people. Hardt and Negri link this philosophical transformation to cultural and economic changes in postmodern societyーto new forms of racism, new conceptions of identity and difference, new networks of communication and control, and new paths of migration. They also show how the power of transnational corporations and the increasing predominance of postindustrial forms of labor and production help to define the new imperial global order.</p> <p>More than analysis, <em>Empire</em> is also an unabashedly utopian work of political philosophy, a new <em>Communist Manifesto</em>. Looking beyond the regimes of exploitation and control that characterize today’s world order, it seeks an alternative political paradigmーthe basis for a truly democratic global 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。 4,321円

Extraordinary Threat The U.S. Empire, the Media, and Twenty Years of Coup Attempts in Venezuela【電子書籍】[ Justin Podur ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The US foreign policy decisions behind six coup attempts against the Venezuelan government ? and Venezuela's heightening precarity</strong></p> <p>In March 2015, President Obama initiated sanctions against Venezuela, declaring a “national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela.” Each year, the US administration has repeated this claim. But, as Joe Emersberger and Justin Podur argue in their timely book, <em>Extraordinary Threat,</em> the opposite is true: It is the US policy of regime change in Venezuela that constitutes an “extraordinary threat” to Venezuelans. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans continue to die because of these ever-tightening US sanctions, denying people daily food, medicine, and fuel. On top of this, Venezuela has, since 2002, been subjected to repeated coup attempts by US-backed forces. In <em>Extraordinary Threat,</em> Emersberger and Podur tell the story of six coup attempts against Venezuela.</p> <p>This book deflates the myths propagated about the Venezuelan government’s purported lack of electoral legitimacy, scant human rights, and disastrous economic development record. Contrary to accounts lobbed by the corporate media, the real target of sustained U.S. assault on Venezuela is not the country’s claimed authoritarianism or its supposed corruption. It is Chavismo, the prospect that twenty-first century socialism could be brought about through electoral and constitutional means. This is what the US empire must not allow to succeed.</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。 2,192円

The Mastermind Drugs. Empire. Murder. Betrayal.【電子書籍】[ Evan Ratliff ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The incredible true story of the decade-long quest to bring down Paul Le Rouxーthe creator of a frighteningly powerful Internet-enabled cartel who merged the ruthlessness of a drug lord with the technological savvy of a Silicon Valley entrepreneur.</strong></p> <p><strong>“A tour de force of shoe-leather reportingーundertaken, amid threats and menacing, at considerable personal risk.”ー<em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> ? NPR ? <em>Evening Standard</em> ? <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>It all started as an online prescription drug network, supplying hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of painkillers to American customers. It would not stop there. Before long, the business had turned into a sprawling multinational conglomerate engaged in almost every conceivable aspect of criminal mayhem. Yachts carrying $100 million in cocaine. Safe houses in Hong Kong filled with gold bars. Shipments of methamphetamine from North Korea. Weapons deals with Iran. Mercenary armies in Somalia. Teams of hit men in the Philippines. Encryption programs so advanced that the government could not break them.</p> <p>The man behind it all, pulling the strings from a laptop in Manila, was Paul Calder Le Rouxーa reclusive programmer turned criminal genius who could only exist in the networked world of the twenty-first century, and the kind of self-made crime boss that American law enforcement had never imagined.</p> <p>For half a decade, DEA agents played a global game of cat-and-mouse with Le Roux as he left terror and chaos in his wake. Each time they came close, he would slip away. It would take relentless investigative work, and a shocking betrayal from within his organization, to catch him. And when he was finally caught, the story turned again, as Le Roux struck a deal to bring down his own organization and the people he had once employed.</p> <p>Award-winning investigative journalist Evan Ratliff spent four years piecing together this intricate puzzle, chasing Le Roux’s empire and his shadowy henchmen around the world, conducting hundreds of interviews and uncovering thousands of documents. The result is a riveting, unprecedented account of a crime boss built by and for the digital age.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>The Mastermind</em></strong></p> <p>“<em>The Mastermind</em> is true crime at its most stark and vivid depiction. Evan Ratliff’s work is well done from beginning to end, paralleling his investigative work with the work of the many federal agents developing the case against LeRoux.”<strong>ー<em>San Francisco Book Review</em> (five stars)</strong></p> <p>“A wholly engrossing story that joins the worlds of El Chapo and Edward Snowden; both disturbing and memorable.”<strong>ー<em>Kirkus Reviews</em> (starred review)</strong></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。 2,036円

City and Empire in the Age of the Successors Urbanization and Social Response in the Making of the Hellenistic Kingdoms【電子書籍】[ Ryan Boehm ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the chaotic decades after the death of Alexander the Great, the world of the Greek city-state became deeply embroiled in the political struggles and unremitting violence of his successors’ contest for supremacy. As these presumptive rulers turned to the practical reality of administering the disparate territories under their control, they increasingly developed new cities by merging smaller settlements into large urban agglomerations. This practice of synoikism gave rise to many of the most important cities of the age, initiated major shifts in patterns of settlement, and consolidated numerous previously independent polities. The result was the increasing transformation of the fragmented world of the small Greek polis into an urbanized network of cities. Drawing on a wide array of archaeological, epigraphic, and textual evidence, <em>City and Empire in the Age of the Successors</em> reinterprets the role of urbanization in the creation of the Hellenistic kingdoms and argues for the agency of local actors in the formation of these new imperial cities.</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。 12,253円

Networks of Empire Forced Migration in the Dutch East India Company【電子書籍】[ Kerry Ward ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book argues that the Dutch East India Company empire manifested itself through multiple networks that amalgamated spatially and over time into an imperial web whose sovereignty was effectively created and maintained but always partial and contingent. Networks of Empire proposes that early modern empires were comprised of durable networks of trade, administration, settlement, legality, and migration whose regional circuits and territorially and institutionally based nodes of regulatory power operated not only on land and sea but discursively as well. Rights of sovereignty were granted to the company by the States General in the United Provinces. Company directors in Europe administered the exercise of sovereignty by company servants in its chartered domain. The empire developed in dynamic response to challenges waged by individuals and other sovereign entities operating within the Indian Ocean grid. By closely examining the Dutch East India Company's network of forced migration this book explains how empires are constituted through the creation, management, contestation, devolution and reconstruction of these multiple and intersecting fields of partial sovereignty.</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。 5,418円

The Cambridge History of Turkey: Volume 2, The Ottoman Empire as a World Power, 1453?1603【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the period from the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. During this period, the Ottoman Empire moved into a new phase of expansion, emerging in the sixteenth century as a dominant political player on the world scene. With territory stretching around the Mediterranean from the Adriatic Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans reached the apogee of their military might in a period seen by many later Ottomans, and historians, as a golden age in which the state was strong, the sultan's might unquestionable, and intellectual life and the arts flourishing. In this volume, leading scholars assess the considerable expansion of Ottoman power and effervescence of the Ottoman intellectual and cultural world. They also investigate the challenges that faced the Ottoman state, particularly in the later period, as the empire experienced economic crises, revolts and drawn-out wars.</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。 5,418円

Parthian Empire【電子書籍】[ Hourly History ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Across four centuries, the Parthian Empire expanded its dominion over vast territories, boasting some of the most effective military units of the ancient world. Still, this is one of the forgotten empires of the ancient world. The reason is principally that, for the last two hundred years of its history, the Parthian Empire found itself in conflict with one of the most powerful empires of all time: the Roman Empire. Winston Churchill said, "History is written by the victors," and never has this been truer than in the case of the Parthian Empire. The Parthians left few written records, and most of what we know about the empire comes from its two main adversariesーfirst the Greeks and then, for most of its history, the Romans. Fortunately, modern scholarship and archaeology have recently helped us to understand a little more about this ancient empire.</p> <p><strong>Discover a plethora of topics such as</strong></p> <ul> <li>Rise of the Parthian Empire</li> <li>Parthia vs. Rome</li> <li>Parthian Military Power</li> <li>Crassus and the Battle of Carrhae</li> <li>Parthian Culture, Society, and Art</li> <li>Fall of the Parthian Empire</li> <li>And much more!</li> </ul> <p><strong>Explore the Parthian Empire, a powerful civilization that stood between Rome and the East for centuries.</strong> Known for its skilled horse archers, strategic diplomacy, and rich culture, Parthia shaped ancient history. <strong>Perfect for fans of empires and ancient warfare.</strong></p> <p>Get your copy today and uncover the legacy of this formidable ancient power!</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

Bismarck And The German Empire【電子書籍】[ Dr. Erich Eyck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>FOR MOST people Bismarck is the man of "blood and iron"; he coined the phrase himself and he lived up to it. But he was much more; he had an intellectual ascendancy over all the politicians of his day, and his superiority was acknowledged not only by his own people, but by all European statesmen.<br /> The unification of Germany, the defeat of Austria, the fall of the Second Empire, the defeat of France, the alliance of the German Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy, the dismemberment of Denmarkーthese are his most obvious achievements; no less important was the transformation in the national consciousness of the German people, for which Bismarck was also responsible. Dr. Eyck has analyzed not only the personality but also the accomplishments of a statesman whose influence on Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century was more far-reaching than that of any other man in his time.-Print ed.<br /> "Authoritative, illuminating and easy to read....Dr. Eyck, in his excellent book, has exposed the many fallacies of which Bismarck legend is compounded.

The Rise of the Russian Empire An Epic Tale of Imperial Expansion and Political Intrigue in Russia【電子書籍】[ Saki ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Rise of the Russian Empire," Saki employs a satirical and incisive literary style to explore the complex socio-political landscape of early Russian history. The text unfolds with a series of sharp observations and whimsical narratives that highlight the contradictions of imperial ambition, presenting a vivid tableau of the cultural and political forces that shaped a nation. Saki'??s wit and dark humor serve to underscore themes of power, ambition, and folly, rooting the exploration in the historical context of burgeoning nationalism and the intricate web of European politics during the 18th and 19th centuries. H.H. Munro, known by his pen name Saki, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a politically charged environment in late Victorian England, where debates about imperialism, identity, and culture dominated intellectual discourse. This background imbued him with a keen sense of irony and a unique perspective on the absurdities of human nature, inspiring him to illuminate both the triumphs and tragedies of empires, particularly Russia'??s complex journey towards power and influence. Readers are encouraged to delve into this captivating work that offers not only a historical account but also a rich commentary on the human condition. "The Rise of the Russian Empire" is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the paradoxes of empire and the nuanced interplay between history and narrative, all conveyed through Saki's masterful prose.</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

<p><strong>From the host of NPR’s <em>Planet Money</em>, the deeply-investigated story of how one visionary, dogged investor changed American finance forever.</strong></p> <p>Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King, he was a gambler. In 1966, a fresh college grad, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. $10,000 and countless casino bans later, he was hooked: so he enrolled in business school.</p> <p><em>The Bond King</em> is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades, Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk, high reward; founded Pimco, one of today’s most powerful, secretive, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recessionーto his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers, and enemies, along the way. Like every American antihero, his ambition would also be his undoing.</p> <p>To understand the winners and losers of today’s money game, journalist Mary Childs argues, is to understand the bond marketーand to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King.</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。 1,805円

<p>New York City boasts one of the most famous skylines in the world, and the Empire State Building is undeniably the focal point of this incredible view. At 102 stories, the structure was no small feat. In fact, its construction coincided with the onset of the Great Depression, and so progress was met with numerous setbacks. Still, because of the efficiency that went into the building's development, it only took a year and forty-five days to complete! In this informative, easy-to-read account, Janet B. Pascal describes the rise of skyscrapers in the United States, the intricacies of the groundbreaking construction process, and the effect the iconic Empire State Building continues to have today.</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。 1,031円

The Golden Empire Spain, Charles V, and the Creation of America【電子書籍】[ Hugh Thomas ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From a master chronicler of Spanish history comes a magnificent work about the pivotal years from 1522 to 1566, when Spain was the greatest European power. Hugh Thomas has written a rich and riveting narrative of exploration, progress, and plunder. At its center is the unforgettable ruler who fought the French and expanded the Spanish empire, and the bold conquistadors who were his agents. Thomas brings to life King Charles Vーfirst as a gangly and easygoing youth, then as a liberal statesman who exceeded all his predecessors in his ambitions for conquest (while making sure to maintain the humanity of his new subjects in the Americas), and finally as a besieged Catholic leader obsessed with Protestant heresy and interested only in profiting from those he presided over.</p> <p><em>The Golden Empire</em> also presents the legendary men whom King Charles V sent on perilous and unprecedented expeditions: Hern?n Cort?s, who ruled the “New Spain” of Mexico as an absolute monarchーand whose rebuilding of its capital, Tenochtitlan, was Spain’s greatest achievement in the sixteenth century; Francisco Pizarro, who set out with fewer than two hundred men for Peru, infamously executed the last independent Inca ruler, Atahualpa, and was finally murdered amid intrigue; and Hernando de Soto, whose glittering journey to settle land between Rio de la Palmas in Mexico and the southernmost keys of Florida ended in disappointment and death. Hugh Thomas reveals as never before their torturous journeys through jungles, their brutal sea voyages amid appalling storms and pirate attacks, and how a cash-hungry Charles backed them with loansーand bribesーobtained from his German banking friends.</p> <p>A sweeping, compulsively readable saga of kings and conquests, armies and armadas, dominance and power, <em>The Golden Empire</em> is a crowning achievement of the Spanish world’s foremost historian.</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。 1,252円

Songs of love and empire【電子書籍】[ E. Nesbit ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>E. Nesbit's "Songs of Love and Empire" is a remarkable collection that intertwines elements of nostalgia, love, and the complex undertones of British imperialism. Written in the late 19th century, this poetry anthology displays Nesbit's masterful command of form, utilizing lyrical styles and vivid imagery to evoke a spectrum of emotional landscapes. The poems reflect the zeitgeist of the Victorian era, situating personal affection against the backdrop of national identity, making them a rich resource for understanding the cultural narratives of the time. As a pioneering figure in children's literature, Nesbit's experiences as a social activist and her intimate acquaintance with the struggles of her contemporaries deeply influenced her poetic voice. Her personal life, marked by the challenges of poverty and the fight for social change, resonates throughout the verses, enabling a dialogue that bridges the pastoral and the political. This duality reflects her belief in the interconnectedness of love and societal progress, illuminating her unique perspective as both a woman and an artist in a rapidly changing world. "Songs of Love and Empire" is recommended for readers seeking to explore the intersection of personal sentiment and historical consciousness. Nesbit's eloquent expression of emotion paired with her critical engagement with empire offers a multifaceted reading experience. This collection is a treasure for those interested in the evolution of poetic form and thematic exploration, making it an essential addition to the repertoire of Victorian 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。 150円

Prostitutes, Hostesses, and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History【電子書籍】[ Nobuko Yamasaki ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Analysing materials from literature and film, this book considers the fates of women who did not or could not buy into the Japanese imperial ideology of "good wives, wise mothers" in support of male empire-building.</p> <p>Although many feminist critics have articulated women’s active roles as dutiful collaborators for the Japanese empire, male-dominated narratives of empire-building have been largely supported and rectified. In contrast, the roles of marginalized women, such as sex workers, women entertainers, hostesses, and <em>hibakusha</em> have rarely been analyzed. This book addresses this intellectual lacuna by closely examining memories, (semi-)autobiographical stories, and newspaper articles, grounded or inspired by lived experiences not only in Japan, but also in Shanghai, Manchukuo, colonial Korea, and the Pacific. Chapters further explore the voices of diasporic Korean women (Zainichi Korean woman born in Japan, as well as Korean American woman born in Korea) whose lives were impacted, intervening ethnocentric narratives that were at the heart of the Japanese empire. An appendix presents the first English translation of a memorable statement on comfort women by former Japanese propaganda actress, Ri K?ran / Yamaguchi Yoshiko.</p> <p>Prostitutes, Hostesses, and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese literature and film studies, as well as gender, sexuality and postcolonial studies.</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。 8,866円
