International Conflict and Cyberspace Superiority Theory and Practice

International Conflict and Cyberspace Superiority Theory and Practice

This book examines cyberspace superiority in nation-state conflict from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. This volume analyses superiority concepts from the domains of land maritime and air to build a model that can be applied to cyberspace. Eight different cyberspace conflicts between nation states are examined and the resulting analysis is combined with theoretical concepts to present the reader with a conclusion. Case studies include the conflict between Russia and Estonia (2007) North Korea and the US and South Korea (2009) and Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Aramco attack (2012). The book uses these case studies to examine cyberspace superiority as an analytical framework to understand conflict in this domain between nation-states. Furthermore the book makes the important distinction between local and universal domain superiority and presents a unique model to relate this superiority in all domains as well as a more detailed model of local superiority in cyberspace. Through examining the eight case studies the book develops a rigorous system to measure the amount of cyberspace superiority achieved by a combatant in a conflict and seeks to reveal if cyberspace superiority proves to be a significant advantage for military operations at the tactical operational and strategic levels. This book will be of much interest to students of cyber-conflict strategic studies national security foreign policy and IR in general. | International Conflict and Cyberspace Superiority Theory and Practice

Building Temples in China Memories Tourism and Identities

Building Temples in China Memories Tourism and Identities

Much has been written on how temples are constructed or reconstructed for reviving local religious and communal life or for recycling tradition after the market reforms in China. The dynamics between the state and society that lie behind the revival of temples and religious practices initiated by the locals have been well-analysed. However there is a gap in the literature when it comes to understanding religious revivals that were instead led by local governments. This book examines the revival of worship of the Chinese Deity Huang Daxian and the building of many new temples to the god in mainland China over the last 20 years. It analyses the role of local governments in initiating temple construction projects in China and how development-oriented temple-building activities in Mainland China reveal the forces of transnational ties capital markets and identities as temples were built with the hope of developing tourism boosting the local economy and enhancing Chinese identities for Hong Kong worshippers and Taiwanese in response to the reunification of Hong Kong to China. Including chapters on local religious memory awakening pilgrimage as a form of tourism women temple managers entrepreneurialism and the religious economy and based on extensive fieldwork Chan and Lang have produced a truly interdisciplinary follow up to The Rise of a Refugee God which will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese religion Chinese culture Asian anthropology cultural heritage and Daoism alike. | Building Temples in China Memories Tourism and Identities

Tourism and War

Tourism and War

This is the first volume to fully explore the complex relationship between war and tourism by considering its full range of dynamics; including political psychological economic and ideological factors at different levels in different political and geographical locations. Issues of peace and tourism are dealt with insofar as they pertain to the effects of war on tourism that emerge after the cessation of hostilities. The book therefore reveals how not only location but also political strategies accidents of history transportation linkages and economic expediency all have played their role in the development and continuation of tourism before during and after wartime. It further show how the effects of war are seldom if ever simply a negation or reversal of the effects of peace on tourism. The volume draws on a range of examples from medieval times to the present to reveal the multi-faceted development of tourism amidst and because of conflict in a wide variety of locations including the Pacific Europe the Middle East North America Africa and South East Asia showing the diverse ways in which tourism and war interacts. In doing so it explores how some locations have been developed as tourist attractions primarily because of war and conflict e. g. as resting and training places for troops and others flourished because of the threat of danger from conflicts to more traditional tourist locations. This thought provoking volume contributes to the understanding of the interrelationships between war peace and tourism in many different parts of the world at different scales. It will be valuable reading for all those interested in this topic as well as dark tourism battlefield tourism and heritage tourism.

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons probation and parole offices drug rehabs and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice social work psychology counselling and addiction treatment. | Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Regional Contexts and Citizenship Education in Asia and Europe

Regional Contexts and Citizenship Education in Asia and Europe

This book is concerned with the social and political aspects of regional groupings particularly how citizenship education fares in regional contexts. The European Union (EU) has revolutionised its political and economic aims into more encompassing social and political goals. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the other hand is still moving towards fuller integration in social and economic terms as South East Asian nations seek a greater role on the global stage and particularly in the global economy. Both the EU and ASEAN have drawn up educational frameworks that collectively work to harness educational achievements which in turn work to fulfill social and economic objectives at the regional level. This book portrays citizenship issues affecting the two regions and describes the way citizenship education can reflect and address these issues. Case studies on EU and ASEAN member countries make up the book’s two parts which analyse among other issues: The Changing Landscape of Citizenship Education in England Political Didactics and Political Education in Germany Rethinking a Conceptual Framework for Citizenship Education in ASEAN Countries Education for ASEANness: A tool to build an ASEAN community This book explores new ideas on citizenship and comparative education in regional contexts and will be of interest to researchers concerned with the impact of regionalism on social development and to citizenship educators studying the influence of contexts on the construction of citizenship education. | Regional Contexts and Citizenship Education in Asia and Europe

Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Human life is intimately woven into place. Through nations and homelands monuments and sacred sites it becomes the anchorage point for ethnic cultural and national identities. Yet it is also place that becomes the battlefield war zone mass grave desecrated site and destroyed landscape in the midst or aftermath of cultural wounding. Much attention has been given to the impact of trauma and violence on human lives across generations but what of the spaces in which it occurs? How does culturally prescribed violence impact upon place? And how do the non- human species with whom we coexist also suffer through episodes of conflict and violence? By identifying violence in place as a crisis of our times and by encouraging both the witnessing and the diagnosing of harm this book reveals the greater effects of cultural wounding. It problematises the habit of separating human life out from the ecologies in which it is held. If people and place are bound through kinship whether through necessity and survival or choice and abiding love then wounding is co- terminus. The harms done to one will impact upon the other. Case studies from Australia North and South America Europe and the Pacific illustrate the impact of violence in place while supporting a campaign for methodologies that reveal the fullness of the relational bond between people and place. The book will appeal to students and practitioners alike with interests in cultural and human geography anthropology environmental humanities and moral ecology. | Violence in Place Cultural and Environmental Wounding

Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

Since Vietnam introduced economic reforms in the mid-1980s domestic service has become an established sector of the labour market and domestic workers have become indispensable to urban life in the rapidly changing country. This book analyzes the ways in which the practices and discourses of domestic service serve to forge and contest emerging class identities in post-reform Vietnam. Drawing on a rich and diverse range of qualitative data including ethnographies interviews and narratives it shows that such practices and discourses are rooted in cultural notions of gender and rural-urban difference and enduring socialist structures of feeling which in turn clash with the realities of growing differentiation. Domestic workers’ experiences reveal negotiations with class boundaries actively set by the urban middle class who seek distinction through emerging notions and practices of domesticity. These boundaries are nevertheless riddled with gender and class anxiety on the side of the latter partly because of the very struggles and contestations of the domestic workers. More broadly Minh T. N. Nguyen links the often invisible intimate dynamics of class formation in the domestic sphere with wider political economic processes in a post-socialist country embarking on marketization while retaining the political control of a party-state. As a pioneering ethnographic study of domestic service in Vietnam today this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asian culture & society social anthropology gender studies human geography and development studies. | Vietnam’s Socialist Servants Domesticity Class Gender and Identity

The Creative Process Stories from the Arts and Sciences

The Creative Process Stories from the Arts and Sciences

The Creative Process: Stories from the Arts and Sciences asks how celebrated works of art and breakthroughs in science came to be. What was the first inkling? What were the steps and missteps along the way? How was the process experienced by the creative person as it proceeded? And what are the implications for the psychology of the creative process? Each chapter focuses on a specific creative endeavor situating the work in the context of domain culture and historical era. Then it traces the development of the work—from what we know of its beginnings to its fulfillment. Qualitative materials—interviews notebooks diaries sketches drafts and other writings—allow a story of the creative process as lived to emerge. The narratives exemplify established concepts in the psychology of creativity propose broadening some reveal the need for modification and suggest new ones. Application of phenomenological frameworks illuminate the episodes in new ways as well. The case study approach proves again that each episode is unique yet themes and variations come into view when the episodes are considered together in a final reflection. From Darwin’s theory to an unusual jazz sound here are 11 fascinating stories of how specific works took shape. Psychologists students interested in creativity and all those intrigued by the process in any creative field will find this book essential reading. | The Creative Process Stories from the Arts and Sciences

Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

This book is an innovative study that places performance and dance studies in conversation with ecology by exploring the significance of dirt in performance. Focusing on a range of 20th- and 21st-century performances that include modern dance dance-theatre Butoh and everyday life this book demonstrates how the choreography of dirt makes biological geographical and cultural meaning what the author terms biogeocultography. Whether it’s the Foundling Father digging into the earth’s strata in Suzan-Lori Park’s The America Play (1994) peat hurling through the air in Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring (1975) dancers frantically shovelling out fistfuls of dirt in Eveoke Dance Theatre’s Las Mariposas (2010) or Butoh performers dancing with fungi in Iván-Daniel Espinosa’s Messengers Divinos (2018) each example shows how the incorporation of dirt can reveal micro-level interactions between species – like the interplay between microscopic skin bacteria and soil protozoa – and macro-level interactions – like the transformation of peat to a greenhouse gas. By demonstrating the stakes of moving dirt this book posits that performance can operate as a space to grapple with the multifaceted ecological dilemmas of the Anthropocene. This book will be of broad interest to both practitioners and researchers in theatre performance studies dance ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. | Choreographing Dirt Movement Performance and Ecology in the Anthropocene

Geographies of disability have become a key research priority for many disability scholars and geographers. This edited collection incorporating the work of leading international disability researchers seeks to expand the current geographical frame operating within the realm of disability. Providing a critical and comprehensive examination of disability and spatial processes of exclusion and inclusion for disabled people the book uniquely brings together insights from disability studies spatial geographies and social policy with the purpose of exploring how spatial factors shape limit or enhance policy towards and the experiences of disabled people. Divided into two parts the first section explores the key concepts to have emerged within the field of disability geographies and their relationship to new policy regimes. New and emerging concepts within the field are critically explored for their significance in conceptually framing disability. The second section provides an in-depth examination of disabled people’s experience of changing landscapes within the onset of emerging disability policy regimes. It deals with how the various actors and stakeholders such as governments social care agencies families and disabled people traverse these landscapes under the new conditions laid out by changing policy regimes. Crucially the chapters examine the lived meaning of changing spatial relations for disabled people. Grounded in recent empirical research and with a global focus each of the chapters reveal how social policy domains are challenged or undermined by the spatial realities faced by disabled people and expands existing understandings of disability. In turn the book supports readers to grasp future policy directions and processes that enable disabled people's choices rights and participation.
