China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “One Belt One Road” (OBOR) vision heralded as an attempt to revive the pre-modern Silk Route is intended to strengthen West Asia’s economic links with China through ambitious infrastructural projects. Central to this are fast-track rail links funded by the newly-established Asia Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) which has its headquarters in Beijing. This book explores the implications of OBOR and the AIIB for the Middle East/West Asia and addresses a number of key strategic questions arising from China’s new initiatives. These include: how far are the strategic imperatives underpinning China’s policies connected to the political dynamics of Xinjiang and the spread of radical Islam in Central Asia? How are Middle Eastern stakeholders’ views of China affected by the new initiatives? How does China’s increasing involvement in the Middle East/West Asia affect other regional powers with ambitions in the region notably Russia? The book also considers the impact of China’s increasing presence on individual countries including Saudi Arabia and Israel. | China's Presence in the Middle East The Implications of the One Belt One Road Initiative

Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

This book explores the dynamics and challenges that underlie the ability of organizations to speak with one voice. Contributions by experienced and emerging scholars shed light on the nature and regulation of the communication processes whereby the many and diverse voices of a collective can unite act and speak as a distinct entity thus contributing to its organizing. By focusing on communicational events whether in the context of for-profit and non-profit organizations political protests or social movements chapters guide the reader through the diverse manifestations and concrete ways of dealing with the imperative for organizations of all kinds to speak with one voice. In doing so the book creates bridges between different perspectives with regard to the notion of voice and its significance for the study of organizing; between fields of study; and between theory and empirical research aimed at investigating organizing beyond the boundaries of the formal organization. Offering a thorough and comprehensive investigation of the dynamics between multivocality and univocality in the organizing of various collectives this book will be an important resource for scholars and students of organizational communication management studies media studies and rhetorical studies. | Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

The Romantic age though often associated with free erotic expression was ambivalent about what if anything sex had to do with the public sphere. Late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century British texts often repressed the very sexual energies they claimed to be bringing into the open. The delineation of what could and could not be said and done in the name of physical pleasure was of a piece with the capitalist consecration of the social trust to the individual profit-motive. Both these practices moreover presupposed a determinate self with sovereignty over its own interests. Writings from and about some nominally public institutions were thus characterized by privatism—a sexual economic and ontological withdrawal from otherness. Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing: A Public of One explores how this threefold ideology was both propagated and resisted wittingly and unwittingly successfully and unsuccessfully in such Romantic publics as rape-law sodomy-law adultery-law high-profile scandals the population debates and club-culture. It includes readings of imaginative literature by William Beckford William Blake Erasmus Darwin Mary Hays Percy Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft; works of political economy by Jeremy Bentham William Cobbett William Godwin William Hazlitt and Thomas Robert Malthus; as well as contemporary legal treatises popular journalism and satirical pamphlets. | Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

In Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society Steve Myers unravels the century-long misinterpretation of Jung’s seminal text Psychological Types to show how Jung’s thinking offers solutions to the conflicts that have torn apart our societies. By challenging the popular interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and similar instruments Myers argues that we have not only missed Jung’s main proposition but our contemporary interpretation runs counter to it. Myers aims to rediscover the overlooked argument of Jung’s Psychological Types and make it of practical relevance to contemporary issues. He intends to refocus rather than discard Myers-Briggs typology showing that there are further stages of development after becoming a type and that typological principles have a much broader application. Raising queries about the way typology is used in contemporary society Myers uses literary examples such as Romeo and Juliet and Carl Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus to show how one-sidedness leads to conflict and to illustrate Jung’s solution to the problem of opposites. He also applies this to real-life political crises by examining the decision-making of key political figures such as Nelson Mandela Robert Mugabe and those involved in Brexit or the Northern Ireland peace process. The latter part of the book relates Jung’s process of typological development to his later writings on alchemy notably the axiom of Maria to show how they all have a common goal the transformation of attitude. The book concludes by analysing the implications of the divergence of Myers-Briggs typology and Jungian individuation for the communities who use those ideas. This book puts Jungian individuation back at the forefront of debate and will be essential reading for intermediate and advanced users of Myers-Briggs typology. Due to its political relevance it will also be of interest to Jungian analysts and their clients and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas and political science. | Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick

This book presents new aspects of the U. S. Cuba policy during Gerald R. Ford’s presidency (August 9 1974‒January 20 1977). Based in governmental and other sources from the U. S. and Cuba the book examines how the Ford administration broke with Nixon’s hostile policy when the diplomatic and economic isolation of Cuba was ended in the OAS even when the U. S. economic blockade prevailed. In line with the detente policy towards the USSR the Ford administration strived to normalize the relations with Cuba through secret discussions. However the Cuban involvement in the Angolan civil war ended this process of normalization and the U. S. returned to a confrontational policy. Within this framework counterrevolutionary groups in the U. S. could act more or less with impunity towards Cuba but also against Cuban and third-country targets both within and outside the U. S. The book describes the oscillating Cuba policy that was the hallmark of the Ford administration. The Cuban perspective adopted will complement and enrich the knowledge of the U. S. policy toward Cuba during Gerald Ford’s presidency. It is of relevance to everyone interested in the issue and especially for students and researchers within the disciplines of History and Political Science. | The Policy of the Ford Administration Toward Cuba Carrot and Stick
