Good Enough The Tolerance for Mediocrity in Nature and Society【電子書籍】[ Daniel S. Milo ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In this spirited and irreverent critique of Darwin’s long hold over our imagination, a distinguished philosopher of science makes the case that, in culture as well as nature, not only the fittest survive: the world is full of the “good enough” that persist too.</strong></p> <p>Why is the genome of a salamander forty times larger than that of a human? Why does the avocado tree produce a million flowers and only a hundred fruits? Why, in short, is there so much waste in nature? In this lively and wide-ranging meditation on the curious accidents and unexpected detours on the path of life, Daniel Milo argues that we ask these questions because we’ve embraced a faulty conception of how evolutionーand human societyーreally works.</p> <p><em>Good Enough</em> offers a vigorous critique of the quasi-monopoly that Darwin’s concept of natural selection has on our idea of the natural world. Darwinism excels in accounting for the evolution of traits, but it does not explain their excess in size and number. Many traits far exceed the optimal configuration to do the job, and yet the maintenance of this extra baggage does not prevent species from thriving for millions of years. Milo aims to give the messy side of nature its dueーto stand up for the wasteful and inefficient organisms that nevertheless survive and multiply.</p> <p>But he does not stop at the border between evolutionary theory and its social consequences. He argues provocatively that the theory of evolution through natural selection has acquired the trappings of an ethical system. Optimization, competitiveness, and innovation have become the watchwords of Western societies, yet their role in human livesーas in the rest of natureーis dangerously overrated. Imperfection is not just good enough: it may at times be essential to survival.</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。 3,840円

Fur, Fortune, and Empire: The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America【電子書籍】[ Eric Jay Dolin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>A <em>Seattle Times</em> selection for one of Best Non-Fiction Books of 2010<br /> Winner of the New England Historial Association's 2010 James P. Hanlan Award<br /> Winner of the Outdoor Writers Association of America 2011 Excellence in Craft Award, Book Division, First Place</p> <p>"A compelling and well-annotated tale of greed, slaughter and geopolitics." ー<em>Los Angeles Times</em></p> <p>As Henry Hudson sailed up the broad river that would one day bear his name, he grew concerned that his Dutch patrons would be disappointed in his failure to find the fabled route to the Orient. What became immediately apparent, however, from the Indians clad in deer skins and "good furs" was that Hudson had discovered something just as tantalizing.</p> <p>The news of Hudson's 1609 voyage to America ignited a fierce competition to lay claim to this uncharted continent, teeming with untapped natural resources. The result was the creation of an American fur trade, which fostered economic rivalries and fueled wars among the European powers, and later between the United States and Great Britain, as North America became a battleground for colonization and imperial aspirations.</p> <p>In <em>Fur, Fortune, and Empire</em>, best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin chronicles the rise and fall of the fur trade of old, when the rallying cry was "get the furs while they last." Beavers, sea otters, and buffalos were slaughtered, used for their precious pelts that were tailored into extravagant hats, coats, and sleigh blankets. To read <em>Fur, Fortune, and Empire</em> then is to understand how North America was explored, exploited, and settled, while its native Indians were alternately enriched and exploited by the trade. As Dolin demonstrates, fur, both an economic elixir and an agent of destruction, became inextricably linked to many key events in American history, including the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, as well as to the relentless pull of Manifest Destiny and the opening of the West.</p> <p>This work provides an international cast beyond the scope of any Hollywood epic, including Thomas Morton, the rabble-rouser who infuriated the Pilgrims by trading guns with the Indians; British explorer Captain James Cook, whose discovery in the Pacific Northwest helped launch America's China trade; Thomas Jefferson who dreamed of expanding the fur trade beyond the Mississippi; America's first multimillionaire John Jacob Astor, who built a fortune on a foundation of fur; and intrepid mountain men such as Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith, who sliced their way through an awe inspiring and unforgiving landscape, leaving behind a mythic legacy still resonates today.</p> <p>Concluding with the virtual extinction of the buffalo in the late 1800s, <em>Fur, Fortune, and Empire</em> is an epic history that brings to vivid life three hundred years of the American experience, conclusively demonstrating that the fur trade played a seminal role in creating the nation we are 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。 2,388円

Heinrich von Kleist und die Kantische Philosophie Bereicherte Ausgabe. Ein tiefgr?ndiger Blick auf Kleists literarisches Schaffen in Verbindung mit Kants Philosophie【電子書籍】[ Ernst Cassirer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Heinrich von Kleist und die Kantische Philosophie" untersucht Ernst Cassirer die komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Werk des Dichters Heinrich von Kleist und den Prinzipien der kantischen Philosophie. Cassirer, ein prominenter Vertreter der Philosophie des deutschen Idealismus, entbl?ttert in seinem literarischen Stil die Verflechtungen von ?sthetik und Erkenntnistheorie, die in Kleists Dramen und Erz?hlungen manifest werden. Durch eine pr?zise Analyse der zentralen Themen wie Freiheit, Subjektivit?t und das Tragische zeichnet Cassirer ein facettenreiches Bild von Kleist als einen Schriftsteller, der zwischen empirischen Erfahrungen und philosophischem Denken oszilliert. Der Band positioniert Kleist im Kontext seiner Zeit und er?ffnet neue Perspektiven auf dessen literarisches Schaffen im Lichte von Kants Ideen. Ernst Cassirer, geboren 1874 in Breslau, gilt als einer der einflussreichsten Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Auseinandersetzung mit Kant und die Entwicklung seiner eigenen symbolischen Formen sind entscheidende Elemente seines philosophischen Erbes. Cassirer, der in einem von tiefgreifenden intellektuellen Str?mungen gepr?gten Umfeld wuchs, war besonders an der Verbindung zwischen Philosophie und Literatur interessiert und fand in Kleists Werk einen fruchtbaren Boden, um seine ?berlegungen zur menschlichen Erfahrung und Erkenntnis zu vertiefen. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine wertvolle Studie f?r Literaturwissenschaftler, sondern auch f?r Philosophen und alle, die sich f?r die Schnittstellen zwischen Kunst und Denken interessieren. Cassirers klar strukturierte Argumentation sowie seine tiefgehende Analyse laden den Leser ein, Kleist aus einer neuen Perspektive zu betrachten und deren Relevanz f?r die Gegenwart zu hinterfragen. Ein unerl?ssliches Werk f?r jeden, der die Dimensionen der menschlichen Erfahrung erfassen m?chte. In dieser bereicherten Ausgabe haben wir mit gro?er Sorgfalt zus?tzlichen Mehrwert f?r Ihr Leseerlebnis geschaffen: - Eine pr?gnante Einf?hrung verortet die zeitlose Anziehungskraft und Themen des Werkes. - Die Synopsis skizziert die Haupthandlung und hebt wichtige Entwicklungen hervor, ohne entscheidende Wendungen zu verraten. - Ein ausf?hrlicher historischer Kontext versetzt Sie in die Ereignisse und Einfl?sse der Epoche, die das Schreiben gepr?gt haben. - Eine gr?ndliche Analyse seziert Symbole, Motive und Charakterentwicklungen, um tiefere Bedeutungen offenzulegen. - Reflexionsfragen laden Sie dazu ein, sich pers?nlich mit den Botschaften des Werkes auseinanderzusetzen und sie mit dem modernen Leben in Verbindung zu bringen. - Sorgf?ltig ausgew?hlte unvergessliche Zitate heben Momente literarischer Brillanz hervor. - Interaktive Fu?noten erkl?ren ungew?hnliche Referenzen, historische Anspielungen und veraltete Ausdr?cke f?r eine m?helose, besser informierte Lekt?re.</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

The Fable of the Bees; Or, Private Vices, Public Benefits Enriched edition. Exploring Self-Interest and Societal Progress in the Enlightenment Era【電子書籍】[ Bernard Mandeville ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 'The Fable of the Bees; Or, Private Vices, Public Benefits,' Bernard Mandeville intertwines a satirical narrative with philosophical discourse, examining the paradox between individual self-interest and societal welfare. Set in the early 18th century, this provocative work employs a fable-like allegory to critique contemporary moral values, challenging the idealism that equates virtue with public good. Mandeville's audacious thesis posits that private vices, such as greed and vanity, can inadvertently contribute to communal prosperity, thus blurring the traditional boundaries between morality and economic reality. His witty style and incisive reasoning invite readers to grapple with the complexities of human behavior, making this text a cornerstone of early economic thought and moral philosophy. Bernard Mandeville, a physician and social theorist, was born in 1670 in the Dutch Republic. His background in medicine and philosophy allowed him to explore the intricate relationships between individual actions and societal systems. Drawing inspiration from the emerging ideas of Enlightenment thinkers, Mandeville's works reflect a radical departure from the prevailing moral absolutism of his time, positioning him as a precursor to later economic theorists like Adam Smith and the utilitarian philosophers. This book is essential for readers intrigued by the intersections of economics, ethics, and social philosophy. Mandeville's bold exploration of the human condition invites a re-examination of accepted moral paradigms, encouraging debates that remain relevant today. Those seeking to understand the foundations of capitalism and the complexities of self-interest will find 'The Fable of the Bees' to be a challenging yet rewarding read. 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

Politics of Rightful Killing Civil Society, Gender, and Sexuality in Weblogistan【電子書籍】[ Sima Shakhsari ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the early 2000s, mainstream international news outlets celebrated the growth of Weblogistanーthe online and real-life transnational network of Iranian bloggersーand depicted it as a liberatory site that gave voice to Iranians. As Sima Shakhsari argues in <em>Politics of Rightful Killing</em>, the common assumptions of Weblogistan as a site of civil society consensus and resistance to state oppression belie its deep internal conflicts. While Weblogistan was an effective venue for some Iranians to “practice democracy,” it served as a valuable site for the United States to surveil bloggers and express anti-Iranian sentiment and policies. At the same time, bloggers used the network to self-police and enforce gender and sexuality norms based on Western liberal values in ways that unwittingly undermined Weblogistan's claims of democratic participation. In this way, Weblogistan became a site of cybergovernmentality, where biopolitical security regimes disciplined and regulated populations. Analyzing online and off-line ethnography, Shakhsari provides an account of digital citizenship that raises questions about the internet's relationship to political engagement, militarism, and 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。 3,840円

The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns An Atlas of the Battles and Movements in the Eastern Theater after Gettysburg, Including Rappahannock Station, Kelly's Ford, and Morton's Ford, July 1863- February 1864【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns is the fifth installment in the Savas Beatie Military Atlas Series.</p> <p>Few historians have examined what happened to the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac during the critical months following Gettysburg, when both armies assumed the offensive in a pair of fascinating campaigns of thrust and counter-thrust. This careful study breaks down these campaigns (and all related operational maneuvers) into 13 map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 87 original full-page color maps. These spectacular cartographic creations bore down to the regimental and battery level.</p> <p>The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns includes the actions at Auburn and Bristoe Station, where Meade’s II Corps was nearly trapped and destroyed and the Confederates were caught by surprise and slaughtered; the seminal actions at Rappahannock Station and Kelly’s Ford, where portions of Lee’s army were surprised and overwhelmed; and the Mine Run Campaign, during which an aggressive Confederate division at the battle of Payne’s Farm held back two full Federal corps and changed the course of the entire operation.</p> <p>At least oneーand as many as twelveーmaps accompany each “action-section.” Opposite each map is a full facing page of detailed text with footnotes describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from eyewitnesses) depicted on the accompanying map, all of which make the story of these campaigns come alive.</p> <p>This original presentation offers readers a step-by-step examination through these long-overlooked but highly instructive campaigns. Coming on the heels of the fiasco that was Lee’s Bristoe Station operation, the stunning Union successes at Kelly’s Ford and Rappahannock Station demonstrated the weakened state of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia following the debilitating Gettysburg campaign. The Mine Run Operation that followed, with its extensive display of field works and trenches, foreshadowed the bloody fighting that would arrive with the spring weather of 1864 and highlighted once again Meade’s methodical approach to battlefield operations that left the authorities in Washington wondering whether he possessed the tenacity to defeat Lee. This detailed coverage is augmented with fascinating explanatory notes. Detailed orders of battle, together with a bibliography and index complete this exciting new volume.</p> <p>Perfect for the easy chair or for walking hallowed ground, The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns is a seminal work that, like Gottfried’s earlier atlases on Gettysburg, First Bull Run, and Antietam, belongs on the bookshelf of every serious and casual student of the Civil 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。 1,673円

The Social Life of Hagiography in the Merovingian Kingdom【電子書籍】[ Jamie Kreiner ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book charts the influence of Christian ideas about social responsibility on the legal, fiscal and operational policies of the Merovingian government, which consistently depended upon the collaboration of kings and elites to succeed, and it shows how a set of stories transformed the political playing field in early medieval Gaul. Contemporary thinkers encouraged this development by writing political arguments in the form of hagiography, more to redefine the rules and resources of elite culture than to promote saints' cults. Jamie Kreiner explores how hagiographers were able to do this effectively, by layering their arguments with different rhetorical and cognitive strategies while keeping the surface narratives entertaining. The result was a subtle and captivating literature that gives us new ways of thinking about how ideas and institutions can change, and how the vibrancy of Merovingian culture inspired subsequent Carolingian developments.</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。 5,970円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Mississippi Delta consistently ranks as having some of the worst health outcomes in the United States. Even with this stark reality, researcher David K. Jones (1981?2021) found “ripples of hope.” For four years, Jones turned to residents and local leaders to learn firsthand the intricate connections between race, place, and health in the region.

Jones calls on his readers to act for change and provides examples from the Delta to show how.

Using examples of great and gruesome modern prose while avoiding the scolding tone and Spartan tastes of the classic manuals, he shows how the art of writing can be a form of pleasurable mastery and a fascinating intellectual topic in its own right. <em>The Sense of Style</em> is for writers of all kinds, and for readers who are interested in letters and literature and are curious about the ways in which the sciences of mind can illuminate how language works at its best.</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。 2,177円

The Embodied Soul Aristotelian Psychology and Physiology in Medieval Europe between 1200 and 1420【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book contains a collection of papers devoted to the problems of body, mind and soul in medieval Europe between 1200 and 1420. Modern discussions of the mind-body relationship seldom look back into the past further than the psycho-somatic dualism of Descartes which started the mechanistic approach in biology and medicine. The authors of the volume go beyond that fault line to investigate the tradition of medieval natural philosophy and its ancient sources and analyze the issues forming a borderland between physiology and psychology. They also demonstrate that the medieval tradition was rich and diverse for it offered a wide variety of the discussed problems as well as the methodological approaches. This volume is the first attempt to cover a diversity of topics and methods employed in the medieval debates on body, mind and soul as well as their interrelationships. The Embodied Soul is a must-have for all those interested in puzzling dilemmas of how a living organism functions and how its inner life can be explained as well as for all those interested in the history of thought in general.</p> <p>Chapter 14 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.</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

Likelihood of Confusion in Trade Mark Law A Practical Guide to the Case Law of EU Courts【電子書籍】[ Jeroen Muyldermans ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since 1994 European Union (EU) case law touching on trade mark confusion has become so diverse and has grown so numerous that it is difficult to see the wood for the trees. This is the first book to give a complete synthesis of the thousands of decisions that have been handed down over the past decades, illustrated with many examples and images. Providing a highly structured and complete overview of the confusion test and all assessment criteria as determined by the General Court and Court of Justice, the authors unravel the concept of likelihood of confusion and establish a sound and thorough methodology for resolving confusion in any trade mark case. Among the practical features offered by the analysis are the following: consideration of the constituent criteria of the confusion test through a simple three-step test examining the similarity among goods and services, similarity between different trade marks and global appreciation of confusion; the identification of the ';relevant consumer', including from territorial and linguistic points of view; guidance on procedural aspects of the confusion test before the EU courts, as well as before the EU Intellectual Property Office and its Boards of Appeal; identifying the dominant and distinctive components of a trade mark phonetic, visual and conceptual; the concept of similarity and the Nice Agreement; the principle of ';partial use'; effect of the terms of sale of the goods or services; consideration of the existence of a family or series of trade marks; and consideration of the effects of coexistence on the confusion test. Numerous illustrated examples of trade marks involved in confusion cases enhance the presentation. Any practitioner dealing with trademark confusion in infringement proceedings before EU or national courts, or in opposition proceedings before national offices or the EU Intellectual Property Office, will be enabled to approach each case with full awareness of applicable criteria of assessment. This much-needed synthesis of case law will quickly become a standard work among lawyers, examiners and judges acting in trade mark matters.</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。 27,053円

Battle of Midway America's Decisive Strike in the Pacific in WWII【電子書籍】[ John Grehan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands on 7 December 1941, had severely damaged the United States Pacific Fleet but had not destroyed it, for the fleet’s aircraft carrier force had been at sea when the Japanese struck. This meant that, despite the overwhelming success of Japanese military forces across the Pacific, US carrier-based aircraft could still attack Japanese targets.</p> <p>After the Battle of the Coral Sea in early May 1942, in which both sides had lost one carrier, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, calculated that the US had only two serviceable carriers left. If those remaining carriers could be lured into a battle with the Combined Fleet and destroyed, nothing could stop the Japanese achieving complete control of the South Pacific.</p> <p>It would take the United States many months, even with its massive industrial muscle, to rebuild its carried fleet if it was destroyed, by which time Japan would be able to secure the raw materials needed to keep its war machine functioning and to build all the bases it required across the Pacific, which would enable its aircraft to dominate the entire region.</p> <p>Aware of the sensitivity of the Americans towards Hawaii after the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto believed that if he attacked there again, the US commander, Admiral Nimitz would be certain to commit all his strength to its defence. Yamamoto selected the furthest point of the Hawaiian Islands, the Naval Air Station on the Midway Atoll, for his attack, which was beyond the range of most US land-based aircraft.</p> <p>Yamamoto launched his attack on 4 June 1942. But the US had intercepted and deciphered Japanese signals and Nimitz, with three not two aircraft carriers, knew exactly Yamamoto’s plans. Yamamoto had hoped to draw the US carriers into his trap but instead he sailed into an ambush.</p> <p>The four-day battle resulted in the loss of all four Japanese aircraft carriers, the US losing only one. The Japanese were never able to recover from these losses, and it was the Americans who were able to take control of the Pacific. The Battle of Midway, unquestionably, marked the turning point in the war against Japan.</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。 661円

Capturing Connectivity and Causality in Complex Industrial Processes【電子書籍】[ Fan Yang ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This brief reviews concepts of inter-relationship in modern industrial processes, biological and social systems. Specifically ideas of connectivity and causality within and between elements of a complex system are treated; these ideas are of great importance in analysing and influencing mechanisms, structural properties and their dynamic behaviour, especially for fault diagnosis and hazard analysis. Fault detection and isolation for industrial processes being concerned with root causes and fault propagation, the brief shows that, process connectivity and causality information can be captured in two ways:</p> <p>・ from process knowledge: structural modeling based on first-principles structural models can be merged with adjacency/reachability matrices or topology models obtained from process flow-sheets described in standard formats; and</p> <p>・ from process data: cross-correlation analysis, Granger causality and its extensions, frequency domain methods, information-theoretical methods, and Bayesian networks can be used to identify pair-wise relationships and network topology.</p> <p>These methods rely on the notion of information fusion whereby process operating data is combined with qualitative process knowledge, to give a holistic picture of the system.</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。 6,076円

When Peace Kills Politics International Intervention and Unending Wars in the Sudans【電子書籍】[ Sharath Srinivasan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Why have war and coercion dominated the political realm in the Sudans, a decade after South Sudan’s independence and fifteen years after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement? This book explains the tragic role of international peacemaking in reproducing violence and political authoritarianism in Sudan and South Sudan.</p> <p>Sharath Srinivasan charts the destructive effects of Sudan’s landmark north?south peace process, from how it fuelled war in Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and the Blue Nile to its contribution to Sudan’s failed political transformation and South Sudan’s rapid descent into civil war. Concluding with the conspicuous absence of ‘peace’ when non-violent revolutionary political change came to Sudan in 2019, Srinivasan examines at close range why outsiders’ peace projects may displace civil politics and raise the political currency of violence.</p> <p>This is an analysis of the perils of attempting to build a non-violent political realm through neat designs and tools of compulsion, where the end goal of peace becomes caught up in idealised constitutional texts, technocratic templates and deals on sharing spoils. <em>When Peace Kills Politics</em> shows that these methods, ultimately anti-political, will be resistedーoften violentlyーby dissatisfied local actors.</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。 2,146円

Democracy and Nationalism in Southeast Asia From Secessionist Mobilization to Conflict Resolution【電子書籍】[ Jacques Bertrand ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Jacques Bertrand offers a comparative-historical analysis of five nationalist conflicts over several decades in Southeast Asia. Using a theoretical framework to explain variance over time and across cases, he challenges and refines existing debates on democracy's impact and shows that, while democratization significantly reduces violent insurgency over time, it often introduces pernicious effects that fail to resolve conflict and contribute to maintaining deep nationalist grievances. Drawing on years of detailed fieldwork, Bertrand analyses the paths that led from secessionist mobilization to a range of outcomes. These include persistent state repression for Malay Muslims in Thailand, low level violence under a top-down 'special autonomy' for Papuans, reframing of mobilizing from nationalist to indigenous peoples in the Cordillera, a long and broken path to an untested broad autonomy for the Moros and relatively successful broad autonomy for Acehnese.</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。 4,245円

Negotiating Reconciliation in Peacemaking Quandaries of Relationship Building【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book offers a unique approach to reconciliation as a matter for negotiation, bringing together two bodies of theory in order to offer insights into resolving conflicts and achieving lasting peace. It argues that reconciliation should not be simply accepted as an ‘agreed-upon norm’ within peacemaking processes, but should receive serious attention from belligerents and peace-brokers seeking to end violent conflicts through negotiation.</p> <p>The book explores different meanings the term ‘reconciliation’ might hold for parties in conflict - the end of overt hostilities, a transformation in the quality of relations between warring groups, a vehicle of accountability and punishment of human rights abusers or the means through which they might somehow acquire amnesty, and as a means of atonement and to material reparation. It considers what gives energy to the idea of reconciliation in a conflict situationーwhy do belligerents become interested in settling their differences and changingtheir attitudes to one another? Using a range of case studies and thematic discussion, chapters in this book seek to tackle these tough questions from a multidisciplinary perspective.</p> <p>Contributions to the book reveal some of the complexities of national and international reconciliation projects, but particularly diverse understandings of reconciliation and how to achieve it. All conflicts reflect unique dynamics, aspirations and power realities. It is precisely because parties in conflict differ in expectations of reconciliation outcomes that its processes should be negotiated. This book is a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners engaged in resolving conflicts and transforming fragmented relations in conflict and post-conflict situations.</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。 10,331円
