The research content includes changes in the rural policies of the People''s Republic of China, changes in rural systems, organisations and behaviour in the era of collectivisation, and peasants'' reactions and behaviour in the face of national policies.This book focuses on four aspects: the meaning of words themselves in Chinese, their meaning in contemporary Chinese political life, how peasants understand and practice the elements and connotations contained in words, and how words themselves change, transform or even disappear.This book will appeal to scholars of peasant politics, Chinese affairs, and contemporary Chinese history; undergraduate and postgraduate students of history, sociology, and political science; and the general reader interested in Chinese rural areas and Chinese politics.

Flora & Fauna - Domestic Nature And Private Collecting In Reform Era Beijing

de I-Yi Hsieh

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is about the intimacy and shared changes of life in domestic nature cultivation in Beijing. It asks a simple question: how do people express themselves when the state control on communication is severely tightened and the public space is increasingly replaced by the marketplace? By bringing to the fore an ethnography of the rise of Flora and Fauna—the aesthetic practice of cultivating nature at home—this book tends to the transformation of the classic Chinese practice of collecting, shoucang, and tells how, against a retreating horizon of free speech, a symbolism of nature arises as anchor for affective commentaries on history, the self, and politics. With the poetics of nature becoming forms of expressive culture, this book charts the domestic as politically charged space wherein aesthetic sovereignty is negotiated. Flora and Fauna urges us to reconsider the aesthetics of nature and politics of domestication, amid the tremendous social transformation annotated by market crises in China today.

Practical Wisdom And Resilience Overcoming Downside Risk - Grassroots Voices In Africa Under Covid-19

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book classifies and assesses the real and perceived risks associated with both the Covid-19 pandemic and government responses to it in seven African countries — DR Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe — based on large scale quantitative and qualitative surveys conducted in 2022-2024. It also elucidates the people’s resilience in overcoming the risks within their political, social, and cultural context.Although research on COVID-19 has been conducted in various fields, particularly in the medical field, the analytical perspective of this book is unique. COVID-19 prevention policies are considered to have seriously increased other risks, such as hunger, other infectious diseases, interruption of education, and various types of human rights violations, including increased conflict, violence against civilians, and political abuse. Therefore, this book argues that COVID-19 prevention policies, as well as the pandemic itself, should be regarded as the downside risk that triggers the deterioration of the other potential risks to vulnerable people.Depicted here is the account of how trust in government, community, and family, within the existing political, social, and cultural environment, created pandemic politics, as elections during the pandemic instrumentalized and politicized government prevention measures. Economic distress threatened people''s lives more than COVID-19 during lockdowns and severe behavioral restrictions, and the spread of misinformation discouraged people from being vaccinated. This book will be useful to policy makers and practitioners in international society who are preparing for the next pandemic based on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fragmentation And Solidity Of Islamic Parties In Indonesia - Looking Into The First Decade Of The Reformasi

de Firman Noor

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book delves into the background of fragmentation and solidity of Indonesia’s Islamic parties. By examining the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) as a research subject, this book exhibits the critical nature of a party’s internal institutionalization, both in fragmentation and solidity. In addition, this book challenges popular perceptions that individuals or actors are the primaries, if not the only, factors that impede or promote a party’s unity. In short, this book explores and scrutinizes the many aspects and reasons for the division and cohesion of Islamic political parties concerning the presence of a party institutionalization throughout the first decade of the Reform Era (1998-2008).The book gives the readers insights and understandings into the dynamics of Islamic parties in Indonesia’s contemporary politics and contains numerous interesting facts and studies. The first set of sections discuss the causes behind Islamic parties’ inability to maintain the integrity and internal cohesion and the impacts of consistency in upholding the party’s constitution and procedures that ensure a high degree of trust in the party. The second explores the effect of the presence of competent and institutionalized conflict mechanisms on the stirring of an internal sense of justice. The next set of chapters investigate the influence of systematic cadreization on the development of esprit de corps, in which accomplishments rather than likes or dislikes define a cadre’s position, and finally, the effect of commitment to the party’s shared values or agreed-upon ideology on putting the party’s interests first is examined. This is a must-read book for undergraduate students, lecturers, researchers of politics and religion, Islamic studies, political science, political sociology, and Asian studies.

~~158,34€~~ 142,51€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This edited book presents many hitherto unaddressed aspects of post-genocide Rohingya lives in refugee camps in Bangladesh. Amid an everyday struggle for daily essentials, violent tensions within and outside the camps, growing anti-Rohingya sentiment in the host community as well as the decreasing international support during the repatriation process, Rohingya adolescents and youths show strategies of coping and agency to alter their present and reshape their future. An upsurge in digital literacy, mounting transnational connectivity, growing engagement with diaspora Rohingya activism and a cumulative presence in social media for sentiment mobilisation on a local and global scale has motivated them to bring about change for themselves and their community within the camps. This book accommodates such fresh and high-quality research on the Rohingya refugees living in the borderland of Bangladesh and Myanmar, conducted by acclaimed academics, professional researchers, and committed activists from across the world, for researchers and students of migration, sociology of race and ethnicity, anthropology, diaspora studies, peace and conflict studies and social work.

Interrogating Development - The Mobilisation Of Science, Technologies, And Technical Assistance In Postwar Mexico

~~158,34€~~ 142,51€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume explores the diverse meanings and ways of implementing development programs and technical assistance projects, through several case studies grounded in Mexico but transcending its geography. Despite - or perhaps because of - claims of "revolutionary nationalism", Mexico played a crucial international role during the decades following World War II, both by challenging and enacting developmentalist models, values, and projects that stressed national priorities, resonating beyond its borders and even outside Latin America. <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: ''Times New Roman'',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: ''Times New Roman''; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Energy, irrigation, communication infrastructures, nuclear technologies, public health, and patents, are meaningful examples explored in this volume of the mobilisation of science and technologies understood in a broad sense, including not only the natural and social sciences, but also bureaucratic technologies that accompanied infrastructural and industrial projects. These case studies interrogate the specific agents and mechanisms of technical assistance put to work to meet local priorities, which in turn required and informed different international models and ideas of development.
