That’s why the skills in this go-to guide are practical and easy-to-implement, can be done with children in both face-to-face therapy and online sessions, and are simple enough for children to put into practice in any settingーwhether it’s at home, in school, or out in the world.＜/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。 | 5,660円 |
 Drones and Global Order Implications of Remote Warfare for International Society【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book explores the implications of drone warfare for the legitimacy of global order.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The literature on drone warfare has evolved from studying the proliferation of drones, to measuring their effectiveness, to exploring their legal, moral, and ethical impacts. These "three waves" of scholarship do not, however, address the implications of drone warfare for global order. This book fills the gap by contributing to a "fourth wave" of literature concerned with the trade-offs imposed by drone warfare for global order. The book draws on the "English School" of International Relations Theory, which is premised on the existence of a society of states bounded by common norms, values, and institutions, to argue that drone warfare imposes contradictions on the structural and normative pillars of global order. These consist of the structure of international society and diffusion of military capabilities, as well as the sovereign equality of states and laws of armed conflict. The book presents a typology of contradictions imposed by drone warfare within and across these axes that threaten the legitimacy of global order. This framework also suggests a confounding consequence of drone warfare that scholars have not hitherto explored rigorously: drone warfare can sometimes strengthen global order. The volume concludes by proposing a research agenda to reconcile the complex and often counter-intuitive impacts of drone warfare for global order.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of considerable interest to students of security studies, global governance, 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。 | 9,116円 |
 A World Safe for Democracy Liberal Internationalism and the Crises of Global Order【電子書籍】[ G. John Ikenberry ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A sweeping account of the rise and evolution of liberal internationalism in the modern era＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞"The crowning achievement of [Ikenberry's] decades-long work explaining and defending the liberal international order." ーMichael Hirsch, ＜em＞Foreign Affairs＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞“A thoughtful and profound defence of liberal internationalism ー both as a political philosophy and as a guide to future actions."ーGideon Rachman,＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Financial Times＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For two hundred years, the grand project of liberal internationalism has been to build a world order that is open, loosely rules-based, and oriented toward progressive ideas. Today this project is in crisis, threatened from the outside by illiberal challengers and from the inside by nationalist-populist movements. This timely book offers the first full account of liberal internationalism’s long journey from its nineteenth-century roots to today’s fractured political moment. Creating an international “space” for liberal democracy, preserving rights and protections within and between countries, and balancing conflicting values such as liberty and equality, openness and social solidarity, and sovereignty and interdependenceーthese are the guiding aims that have propelled liberal internationalism through the upheavals of the past two centuries. G. John Ikenberry argues that in a twenty-first century marked by rising economic and security interdependence, liberal internationalismーreformed and reimaginedーremains the most viable project to protect liberal democracy.＜/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。 | 3,907円 |
 Ethnic Conflicts and Civil Society Proposals for a New Era in Eastern Europe【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Published in 1997. After the collapse of the communist system, the political systems in Eastern Europe were unable to cope with increasing tensions between ethnic majorities and minorities. These tensions led to violent ethnic conflicts and civil wars, in particular in former Yugoslavia. In this phase of transition and nation-(re)building, ethnic groups strove for more political autonomy and even territorial secession. The newly independent states lacked democratic structures and traditions as well as civil manners that could be used for regulating ethnic conflicts. The idea of Civil Society provides both basic democratic mechanisms for a lasting co-existence in an ethnically plural society. The theoretical part of this book discusses the issues of conflict anatomy, causes for conflict, and democratic conflict resolution. The empirical part describes experiences of ethnic conflicts in former Yugoslavia (especially Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia) in Ukraine and Romania. Experiences from Switzerland and the United States demonstrate successful examples of ethnic conflict management and illustrations of the political culture within a Civil 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。 | 7,488円 |

 The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic Enriched edition. Foundations of Modern Political Thought: Unveiling Hobbes' Vision for Society【電子書籍】[ Thomas Hobbes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic," Thomas Hobbes meticulously delineates the foundational principles of human nature, governance, and societal order. Utilizing a systematic and analytical approach, Hobbes presents an intricate examination of the social contract and the necessity of a sovereign authority to prevent the chaos of the state of nature. This work, initially published in parts as "Elements of Law" in 1640, is characterized by Hobbes's clear prose and a logical progression of ideas that weave together philosophy, political theory, and moral reasoning in a period marked by civil strife and intellectual upheaval. Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), an English philosopher and political theorist, lived through the tumultuous events of the English Civil War, which profoundly influenced his views on authority and human behavior. His experiences shaped his belief in the inherent selfishness of humans and the need for a powerful centralized government to ensure peace and stability. These ideas were groundbreaking at the time and laid the groundwork for modern political philosophy. For readers interested in the origins of social contract theory or the interplay between individual rights and state power, "The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic" is an essential text. Hobbes's compelling arguments provide a critical lens through which to examine contemporary political issues, making this work not only a historical artifact but a relevant guide to understanding human governance. 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。 | 300円 |

 The History of the Last Trial by Jury for Atheism in England Enriched edition. A Fragment of Autobiography Submitted for the Perusal of Her Majesty's Attorney-General and the British Clergy【電子書籍】[ George Jacob Holyoake ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞George Jacob Holyoake's "The History of the Last Trial by Jury for Atheism in England" presents an incisive examination of a pivotal moment in the struggle for secular thought in Victorian England. Through a meticulous narrative style that blends historical analysis with engaging storytelling, Holyoake recounts the trial of Charles Bradlaugh, an outspoken atheist whose courtroom battle epitomized the tension between faith and reason during a time of rigid theological dogma. The book serves as both a critique of the judicial system and a reflection on societal attitudes towards atheism, situating its analysis within the broader framework of 19th-century political thought and reform movements. Holyoake, a prominent freethinker and parliamentary reformer, drew from his own experiences in a society often hostile to dissenting voices. His advocacy for social justice and religious tolerance is intricately woven into this work, which not only documents Bradlaugh's defiance but also echoes Holyoake's lifelong commitment to rational inquiry and personal freedom. His background as an agnostic reformer deeply informs this exploration of legal philosophy and human rights. This book is essential for anyone interested in the evolution of atheism, the interplay of law and morality, and the enduring struggle for intellectual freedom. Holyoake's thoughtful analysis provides invaluable insights that resonate even today, making it a timely read for scholars, students, and anyone engaged in the discourse on belief and skepticism. 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. - 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。 | 150円 |

 Confucianism for the Contemporary World Global Order, Political Plurality, and Social Action【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Discusses contemporary Confucianism's relevance and its capacity to address pressing social and political issues of twenty-first-century life.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Condemned during the Maoist era as a relic of feudalism, Confucianism enjoyed a robust revival in post-Mao China as China's economy began its rapid expansion and gradual integration into the global economy. Associated with economic development, individual growth, and social progress by its advocates, Confucianism became a potent force in shaping politics and society in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese communities. This book links the contemporary Confucian revival to debates-both within and outside China-about global capitalism, East Asian modernity, political reforms, civil society, and human alienation. The contributors offer fresh insights on the contemporary Confucian revival as a broad cultural phenomenon, encompassing an interpretation of Confucian moral teaching; a theory of political action; a vision of social justice; and a perspective for a new global order, in addition to demonstrating that Confucianism is capable of addressing a wide range of social and political issues in the twenty-first 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。 | 5,114円 |

 Lectures to My Students: Practical and Spiritual Guidance for Preachers (Volume 1)【電子書籍】[ Charles H. Spurgeon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"The solemn work of Christian ministry demands a man’s all, and that all should be at its best. To engage in ministry halfheartedly is an insult to God and man. Sleep must leave our eyelids before men are allowed to perish. Yet we are all prone to sleep, and students, among the rest, are apt to act the part of the foolish virgins. Therefore, I have sought to speak out my whole soul in the hope that I might not create or foster any dullness in others, and to this end, my lectures are colloquial, familiar, full of anecdote, and often humorous. May He, in whose hand are the churches and their pastors, bless these words to younger brethren in the ministry, and if so, I will count it more than a full reward and will gratefully praise the Lord."＜/p＞ ＜p＞- Charles H.

Novak, writer and actor＜/p＞ ＜p＞Solving the long-standing mysteries of cultureーfrom the origin of our tastes and identities, to the perpetual cycles of fashions and fadsーthrough a careful exploration of the fundamental human desire for status**＜/p＞ ＜p＞All humans share a need to secure their social standing, and this universal motivation structures our behavior, forms our tastes, determines how we live, and ultimately shapes who we are. We can use status, then, to explain why some things become “cool,” how stylistic innovations arise, and why there are constant changes in clothing, music, food, sports, slang, travel, hairstyles, and even dog breeds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Status and Culture＜/em＞, W. David Marx weaves together the wisdom from history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, cultural theory, literary theory, art history, media studies, and neuroscience to demonstrate exactly how individual status seeking creates our cultural ecosystem. Marx examines three fundamental questions: Why do individuals cluster around arbitrary behaviors and take deep meaning from them? How do distinct styles, conventions, and sensibilities emerge? Why do we change behaviors over time and why do some behaviors stick around? The answers then provide new perspectives for understanding the seeming “weightlessness” of internet culture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Status and Culture＜/em＞ is a book that will appeal to business people, students, creators, and anyone who has ever wondered why things become popular, why their own preferences change over time, and how identity plays out in contemporary society. Readers of this book will walk away with deep and lasting knowledge of the often secret rules of how culture really works.＜/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。 | 2,281円 |
