The Rule of Law in Afghanistan - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Rule of Law in Afghanistan - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

How, despite the enormous investment of blood and treasure, has the West''s ten-year intervention left Afghanistan so lawless and insecure? The answer is more insidious than any conspiracy, for it begins with a profound lack of understanding of the rule of law, the very thing that most dramatically separates Western societies from the benighted ones in which they increasingly intervene. This volume of essays argues that the rule of law is not a set of institutions that can be exported lock, stock and barrel to lawless lands, but a state of affairs under which ordinary people and officials of the state itself feel it makes sense to act within the law. Where such a state of affairs is absent, as in Afghanistan today, brute force, not law, will continue to rule.

Democratising Beauty in Nineteenth-Century Britain - Lucy (university Of Michigan Hartley - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Democratising Beauty in Nineteenth-Century Britain - Lucy (university Of Michigan Hartley - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Could the self-interested pursuit of beauty actually help to establish the moral and political norms that enable democratic society to flourish? In this book, Lucy Hartley identifies a new language for speaking about beauty, which begins to be articulated from the 1830s in a climate of political reform and becomes linked to emerging ideals of equality, liberty, and individuality. Examining British art and art writing by Charles Lock Eastlake, John Ruskin, Walter Pater, Edward Poynter, William Morris, and John Addington Symonds, Hartley traces a debate about what it means to be interested in beauty and whether this preoccupation is necessary to public political life. Drawing together political history, art history, and theories of society, and supplemented by numerous illustrations, Democratising Beauty in Nineteenth-Century Britain offers a fresh interdisciplinary understanding of the relation of art to its publics.

Transitional Justice and Forced Migration - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Transitional Justice and Forced Migration - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This volume brings together critical legal scholarship and theories of forced migration that draw attention to the dual role of law as it pertains to transitional justice and mass violence resulting in forced population movements. Contributors to the volume analyze how forced migration in the Global South have impacted contemporary realities. While there has been considerable focus on refugees and asylum seekers from conflict zones, there is less attention paid to the far more numerous internally displaced peoples (IDPs), stateless people, warehoused refugees, non-status displaced and returnees in the Global South. In this volume, a multidisciplinary group of scholars question the reasons behind the restrictive choices that lock us into area studies modalities instead of genuine interdisciplinary analysis by linking the traditional subject matter of transitional justice with the realities of forced migration in the Global South.

Indivisible Territory and the Politics of Legitimacy - Stacie E. Goddard - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Indivisible Territory and the Politics of Legitimacy - Stacie E. Goddard - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Jerusalem and Northern Ireland, territorial disputes have often seemed indivisible, unable to be solved through negotiation, and prone to violence and war. This book challenges the conventional wisdom that these conflicts were the inevitable result of clashing identities, religions, and attachments to the land. On the contrary, it was radical political rhetoric, and not ancient hatreds, that rendered these territories indivisible. Stacie Goddard traces the roots of territorial indivisibility to politicians'' strategies for legitimating their claims to territory. When bargaining over territory, politicians utilize rhetoric to appeal to their domestic audiences and undercut the claims of their opponents. However, this strategy has unintended consequences; by resonating with some coalitions and appearing unacceptable to others, politicians'' rhetoric can lock them into positions in which they are unable to recognize the legitimacy of their opponent''s demands. As a result, politicians come to negotiations with incompatible claims, constructing territory as indivisible.

Social Constructionism - Tom Strong - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Social Constructionism - Tom Strong - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Social Constructionism: Sources and Stirrings in Theory and Practice offers an introduction to the different theorists and schools of thought that have contributed to the development of contemporary social constructionist ideas, charting a course through the ideas that underpin the discipline. From the New Science of Vico in the 18th century, through to Marxist writers, ethnomethodologists and Wittgenstein, ideas as to how socio-cultural processes provide the resources that make us human are traced to the present day. Despite constructionists often being criticised as ''relativists'', ''activists'' and ''anti-establishment'' and for making no concrete contributions, their ideas are now being adopted by practically-oriented disciplines such as management consultancy, advertising, therapy, education and nursing. Andy Lock and Tom Strong aim to provoke a wider grasp of an alternative history and tradition that has developed alongside the one emphasised in traditional histories of the social sciences.

‘Ritual Litter' Redressed - Ceri Houlbrook - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

‘Ritual Litter' Redressed - Ceri Houlbrook - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Ritual deposition is not an activity that many people in the Western world would consider themselves participants of. The enigmatic beliefs and magical thinking that led to the deposition of swords in watery places and votive statuettes in temples, for example, may feel irrelevant to the modern day. However, it could be argued that ritual deposition is a more widespread feature now than in the past, with folk assemblages – from roadside memorials and love-lock bridges, to wishing fountains and coin-trees – emerging prolifically worldwide. Despite these assemblages being as much the result of ritual activity as historically deposited objects, they are rarely given the same academic attention or heritage status. As well as exploring the nature of ritual deposition in the contemporary West, and the beliefs and symbolisms behind various assemblages, this Element explores the heritage of the modern-day deposit, promoting a renegotiation of the pejorative term ''ritual litter''.

Can Russia Modernise? - Alena V. (university College London) Ledeneva - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Can Russia Modernise? - Alena V. (university College London) Ledeneva - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this original, bottom-up account of the evolution of contemporary Russia, Alena Ledeneva seeks to reveal how informal power operates. Concentrating on Vladimir Putin''s system of governance - referred to as sistema - she identifies four key types of networks: his inner circle, useful friends, core contacts and more diffuse ties and connections. These networks serve sistema but also serve themselves. Reliance on networks enables leaders to mobilise and to control, yet they also lock politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen into informal deals, mediated interests and personalised loyalty. This is the ''modernisation trap of informality'': one cannot use the potential of informal networks without triggering their negative long-term consequences for institutional development. Ledeneva''s perspective on informal power is based on in-depth interviews with sistema insiders and enhanced by evidence of its workings brought to light in court cases, enabling her to draw broad conclusions about the prospects for Russia''s political institutions.
