Rising India And China - Strategic Rivalry In The Himalayas And The Indo- Pacific, Volume 2

by B. R. Deepak

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of Sino-Indian relations, spanning from the aftermath of 1962 war in the Himalayas to the growing rivalries in the Indo-Pacific. It scrutinizes the decade-long diplomatic freeze post-1962, analysing China’s propaganda, collusion with Pakistan, and supporting insurgency in India’s northeast. It delves into the rebalancing approaches starting from Rajiv Gandhi’s pivotal 1988 China visit to finding an equilibrium with China and then losing it after three decades owing to widening asymmetries with China, resulting in the crisis of confidence building and a prolonged military standoff in the Western Sector in the aftermath of the Galwan face off. Furthermore, it explores the Indian choices for finding a new equilibrium with China navigating China’s discourse on the Indo-Pacific strategy, India’s equations with major powers, and makes enquiries into China’s military modernization and implications to India in a complex security environment influenced by internal and external factors, economic considerations, and global power dynamics.

De-Essentializing Refugees: Perceptions, Experiences, And Becoming Of Syrians In Turkiye

by Umut Ozkaleli

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 This book delves into the profound journey of Syrians from pre-war aspirations to the harsh realities of refugee life in Türkiye. Through the voices of seventy-nine individuals, it explores the transformation from hopeful citizens seeking social change to displaced refugees. Grounded in fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2016, the manuscript poses the critical question: "How is refugee ‘becoming’ experienced in dual spatiality and multiple temporalities?"By integrating innovative approaches like relational pragmatics and intersectional identities, this work enriches existing conflict theories.The author employs a unique methodological lens inspired by cinematic apparatus theory, utilizing an "eye-camera" perspective to create Brechtian "breaking moments" that invite readers to engage deeply with the narratives. This book is not just an academic exploration; it is a powerful call to confront the normalization of war and to understand the irreversible impacts of violence and displacement through the lived experiences of individuals. Ideal for those interested in both theoretical discussions and the raw realities of human experience, this manuscript offers a compelling look at the refugee experience that challenges readers to rethink their perceptions of conflict and resilience.

Agents Of Recalcitrance - The Struggle For Compliance With International Human Rights Law In Decentralized States

by Mintao Nie

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 Fulfilling human rights treaty obligations extends beyond the mere ratification by national governments; it depends on the practices of local authorities, which continuously remake human rights standards and policies originating from higher levels of governance. In Agents of Recalcitrance: The Struggle for Compliance with International Human Rights Law in Decentralized States, Mintao Nie posits that governmental decentralization, characterized by increased autonomy for local authorities in local affairs, reduces state compliance with human rights treaties. This reduction occurs because governmental decentralization impedes the downward spread of human rights norms across governmental tiers, creates numerous local actors immune to moral pressure from the international society, and enables the central government to evade international censure by shifting blame for human rights abuses to local officials. This focus on central-local governmental relations challenges the assumption of states as unitary actors, offering a systematic understanding of how the varied motives and constraints across different levels of government affect the translation of international human rights law into local practice, in a volume that will interest scholars, activists and lawyers.

Centralized - Notes On Hydraulic And Digital Infrastructure

by Roman Shemakov

~~46,36€~~ 41,72€ 10% OFF

 An estimated 75% of the infrastructure that societies will depend on in 2050 does not yet exist, reflecting $139 trillion of investment over the next quarter century. Conventional wisdom regards these forthcoming water networks, roads, energy grids, and data centers as passive backbones of economic life. Centralized challenges this assumption, demonstrating how these systems actively shapes governance by regulating the flow of materials, managing access, and controlling storage.Centralized examines the oldest and the most contemporary forms of large-scale infrastructure: water and the internet. Drawing on archival documents, engineering blueprints, financial records, and interviews, the book analyzes eight transformative projects over two millennia across the United States, China, Turkey, and Russia. From the Dujiangyan irrigation canals to the creation of TCP/IP protocols, the case studies demonstrate how engineering networks produce predictable bureaucratic structures. Despite their technological differences, hydraulic and digital networks share a unifying logic of design, finance, and administration—one that ultimately consolidates authority.Built on the work of Keller Easterling, Norbert Wiener, Taisu Zhang, and Paul Edwards, Centralized offers a critical historical perspective on the relationship between technical and social systems.Preface by Benjamin Bratton. Illustrations by Flora Weil.
