‘Be Clear Kashmir will Vote for India’ Jammu & Kashmir 1947-1953 Reporting the Contemporary Understanding of the Unreported

‘Be Clear Kashmir will Vote for India’ Jammu & Kashmir 1947-1953 Reporting the Contemporary Understanding of the Unreported

The central point that this volume makes is that much of what happened in Jammu & Kashmir in the critical first few years (1947-53) needs a more careful reassessment. It is argued that there were little voices of ordinary people that should have been heard but were ignored. The political discourse that took centre stage even as it appeared more assertive and representative of mass public opinion was however as is now clear only a clever and misleading political move. Much of the source material upon which the author has based his study has till now remained unstudied and uncited – rare hard to find books pamphlets articles in journals magazines and newspapers official and party reports and so on. The volume takes the reader back in time to a kind of ring side seat. Kashmir’s cultural and historical legacy the invasion the issue of the plebiscite the United Nations and the ceasefire the Praja Parishad and most important of all the political scene and its key players – Prime Minister Nehru Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Sheikh Abdullah. Based on the nature of its sources the volume breaks free of a stereotyped approach to understanding the origin of what we commonly term today as the ‘Kashmir problem’. The volume argues that contemporary views recorded as they are in the heat of the moment with natural spontaneity often contain hidden lines and new light. Not surprisingly contemporary versions tell us a story very different from mainstream conventional writings on Jammu & Kashmir. This timely volume will radically influence the existing discourse on Jammu & Kashmir.

The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

This book assesses the underpinning role ‘references to identity’ played and continue to play as the powerful mobilising force in domestic politics across the East European region stretching from Estonia to Bulgaria. The EU membership of postcommunist states was to ensure stability prevent conflict and eventually guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of their political preferences or ethnic identities. However the promotion of such norms and values has been secondary to consolidation of state institutions and the societies they serve around ethnocentric narratives of states’ core ethnic groups. The sequel of financial then ‘refugee’ crises has further dented the appeal of the EU’s norms across the region. Even the rhetoric commitment to respect cultural diversity and human rights has been promptly replaced with references to identity and interests of politically relevant groups. Yet nativist and populist rhetoric has been the staple of politics since before the EU accession. The chapters in this edited volume zoom in on politics which forge and live-off their societies’ preoccupation with ethnocentric narratives vesting national identity with persistent relevance and considerable weight across the postcommunist region. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal East European Politics. | The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

A Dictionary of Biology

A Dictionary of Biology

A Dictionary of Biology is an up-to-date reference work explains several thousand specialized words that allow for empirical approaches to the biological sciences. It includes more than bare definitions including information about most of the things named so as to convey their significance in biological discussion. M. Abercrombie C. J. Hickman and M. L. Johnson in effect interpret this language as it is actually used emphasizing customary usage rather than etymology. This comprehensive lexicon includes two thousand entries. Many unfamiliar terms especially the rarer ones are defined with the help of other technical terms perhaps equally unfamiliar. This trick of dictionary-makers could only be avoided by giving a complete account of a large part of biology under each heading. Every biological technical term used in a definition is itself defined elsewhere in the dictionary; though some semi-technical terms words that can be found in any English dictionary are omitted. The authors use codes throughout the dictionary to help the reader to interpret the use of a word such as whether it is used in relation to plants and animals only whether the word is an adjective and when a term is defined elsewhere and adds information to the current definition. The result is an invaluable guide for the layman the student and the scholar alike. It presents clear and authoritative explanations of the terms and will remain useful as a quick and concise source of reference.

The Manager's Guide to Discipline

The Manager's Guide to Discipline

For most managers let alone the employees involved the disciplinary process can be painful and embarrassing. Poor performance tends to be confused with misconduct and consequently carries the stigma of punishment; this despite the fact that most company policies and indeed the ACAS Code (correctly) put emphasis on improving behaviour or performance rather than punishment. Derek Eccleston's concise guide provides a clear picture of the purpose and the process of the disciplinary procedure. This toolkit approach contains invaluable information and includes clear checklists and sample letters to help guide managers and supervisors through the minefield of employment rights explaining what to do and how to do it. Written in a no nonsense way The Manager's Guide to Discipline is free of legal jargon and focuses on the practical issues throughout. It will help to protect the organisation whilst ensuring matters are dealt with not left or brushed under the carpet because of a lack of management confidence. This essential reference will encourage managers to approach performance and disciplinary problems proactively and with more confidence and will significantly reduce the risk of getting it wrong.
