Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

This book analyzes the provision of aid to countries that have undergone negotiated settlements to civil wars drawing on recent experiences in Bosnia Cambodia El Salvador and Guatemala. It focuses on the potential for peace conditionality linking aid to steps to implement accords and consolidate the peace. The book explores how aid can encourage domestic investment in peace-related needs; the reconciliation of long-run peacebuilding objectives with short-run humanitarian imperatives; and the obstacles that donors' priorities and procedures pose to effective aid for peace. It concludes that investing in peace requires not only the reconstruction of war-torn societies but also the reconstruction of aid itself. | Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism Case Studies from Asia

Civil Society Organizations Against Terrorism Case Studies from Asia

With recent changes in social and political landscapes around the world the focus of preventive counter-terrorism has shifted in many places from government to civil society. The contributors analyze the different approaches of Civil Society Organizations in preventing and countering violent extremism in various countries in South and Southeast Asia. The cases examined include Malaysia Indonesia Myanmar Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The key emphasis is on understanding the context within which each example was initiated and the factors that determined their relative success or failure. The evidence from these cases suggests that much can be achieved through empowering communities to engage in aiding both the indoctrinated and those who pose the greatest risk of radicalization.

Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Nietzsche was famously an atheist despite coming from a strongly Protestant family. This heritage influenced much of his thought but was it in fact the very thing that led him to his atheism? This work provides a radical re-assessment of Protestantism by documenting and extrapolating Nietzsche’s view that Christianity dies from the head down. That is through Protestantism’s inherent anarchy. In this book Nietzsche is put into conversation with the initiatives of several powerful thinking writers; Luther Boehme Leibniz and Lessing. Using Nietzsche as a critical guide to the evolution of Protestant thinking each is shown to violate warp or ignore gospel injunctions and otherwise pose hazards to the primacy of Christian ethics. Demonstrating that a responsible understanding of Protestantism as a historical movement needs to engage with its inherent flaws this is a text that will engage scholars of philosophy theology and religious studies alike. | Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers A Study in Prodigal Christianity

Europe's Green Ring

Europe's Green Ring

Around the fringe of Europe lies a green ring of countries which have followed different pathways into modernity from the industrial core of the continent and have until recently been characterized by a strong agrarian presence in their politics economy and culture. This book brings together case studies from both the post-socialist countries and EU member states which make up the green ring to compare experiences of rural and agricultural groups. It provides a fascinating opportunity to identify similarities and contrasts in the ways in which these countries have managed their rural areas when faced with the challenges set by industrialization political integration and globalization. The book focuses on agrarian transformation as de- (and sometimes re- ) peasantization - referring to the changing economic social cultural and political positions of farmers and food production workers. It also problematizes the standard rural models and opens up discussion of the problems these models pose for the farmers of the green ring countries. | Europe's Green Ring

Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Friedrich Hayek was the 20th century’s most significant free market theorist. Over the course of his long career he developed an analysis of the danger that state power can pose to individual liberty. In rejecting much of the liberal tradition’s concern for social justice and democratic participation Hayek would help clear away many intellectual obstacles to the emergence of neoliberalism in the last quarter of the 20th century. At the core of this book is a new interpretation of Hayek one that regards him as an exponent of a neo-Roman conception of liberty and interprets his work as a form of ‘market republicanism’. It examines the contemporary context in which Hayek wrote and places his writing in the long republican intellectual tradition. Hayek’s Market Republicanism will be of interest to advanced students and researchers across the history of economic thought the history of political thought political economy and political philosophy. | Hayek’s Market Republicanism The Limits of Liberty

Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership Unholy Alliance

Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership Unholy Alliance

The nexus between terrorism and organised crime consists of a strategic alliance between two non-state actors who are able to exploit illegal markets threaten the security of individuals and influence policy-making on a global level. Recent Europol reports have pointed towards the importance of studying the links between organised crime and terrorist groups and have underlined that the nature and extent of these connections have seldom been addressed from an academic perspective. Considering the danger that both organised crime and terrorism currently pose to the world the collusion between these two phenomena is of urgent contemporary interest. Basing itself on geographical case-studies this book contributes to the existing literature in three ways: by enriching the empirical knowledge on the nature of the crime-terror nexus and its evolution; by exploring the impact of the nexus within different economic political and societal contexts; and by expanding on its theoretical conceptualization. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime. | Criminals and Terrorists in Partnership Unholy Alliance

Queer Reflections on AI Uncertain Intelligences

Queer Reflections on AI Uncertain Intelligences

This volume offers a socio-technical exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it reflects and reproduces certain normative representations of gender and sexuality to ultimately guide more diverse and radical discussions of life with digital technologies. Moving beyond the examination of empirical examples and technical solutions the book approaches the relationship between queerness and AI from a theoretical perspective that posits queer theory as central to understanding AI differently. The chapters pose questions about the politics and ethics of machine embodiments and data imaginaries on the one hand and about technical possibilities for a production of social identities characterised by shifting diversity and multiplicity on the other as they are mediated by and through digital technologies. Transgressing disciplinary boundaries to engage a diversity of conceptual tools critical approaches and theoretical traditions this book will be an important resource for students and researchers of gender and sexuality new media and digital cultures cultural theory art and visual culture and AI.

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices

Setting up cultural encounters is a widespread intervention strategy employed to diffuse conflicts and manage difficulties related to diversity. These organised cultural encounters bring together people of different backgrounds in order to promote peaceful coexistence and inclusion. These transformative aims relate to the participants but are often also expected to spill over into the society community or context addressed by the encounter. As a category ‘Organised Cultural Encounters’ draws together a variety of activities and events such as multicultural festivals dialogue initiatives diversity training and inclusion projects – activities that are generally not considered to be of the same kind. Most of the existing literature on these types of encounters is instrumental and has an overall emphasis on evaluations in terms of outcome or success rate. This book goes beyond evaluations and the contributors pose and debate theoretical and methodological questions and analyse the practices and performativities of particular encounters. Taken together it makes an important contribution to the theorisation and analysis of intercultural relations and negotiations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | Cultural Encounters as Intervention Practices
