The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe

The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe

Beginning in the twelfth century taxation increasingly became an essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe. The state-building process and relations between princes and their subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It goes on to survey the entire European continent as well as including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most important types of medieval taxes giving an essential definition of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis to students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this critical subject.

Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience

Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience

At a time of great global uncertainty and instability communities face fracturing from the increasing influence of extremist movements hostile to democratic and multicultural norms. Europe and the West have grown increasingly polarised in recent years beset with financial crises political instability the rise of malicious actors and irregular violence and new forms of media and social media. These factors have enabled the spread of new forms of extremism and suggest a growing need for a response sensitive to inequalities and divisions in wider society – a task made even more urgent by the COVID- 19 pandemic. The Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience brings together research conducted throughout Europe and the world to analyse various articulations of violent extremism and consider the impact that such groups and networks have had on the wellbeing of communities and societies. It examines different theories factors and national case studies of extremism polarisation and societal fragmentation drilling deep into national examples to map trends across Europe North America and Australasia to provide regional and state-level comparative analysis. It also offers a thorough exploration of resilience – a recent addition to counterextremism policy and practice – to consider how it has come to play this increasingly central role in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/ CVE) the limitations and opportunities of such approaches and how it could be shared developed problematised and deployed in response to violence and polarisation. The Handbook details new trends in both violent extremism and counter-extremism response within this increasingly fractured global context. It critically explores the latest theories of community violence extremism polarisation and resilience mapping them across case study countries. In doing so it presents new findings for students researchers practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand these new patterns of polarisation and extremism and develop community-driven responses.

The handbook is organized into seven parts each with its own introduction and five chapters: I. FrameworksII. Decision-MakingIII. Social StructuresIV. MarketsV. Economic SystemsVI. Distributive JusticeVII. Democracy The Frameworks part discusses common tools and perspectives in PPE and the Decision-making section shows different approaches to the study of choice. From there parts on Social Structures Markets and Economic Systems each use tools from the three PPE disciplines to study and distinguish parts of society. The next part explains dominant theories and challenges to the paradigm of Distributive Justice. Finally a part on Democracy offers five challenges to current democratic practice. | The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy Politics and Economics
