China and Great Power Responsibility for Climate Change

China and Great Power Responsibility for Climate Change

As American leadership over climate change declines China has begun to identify itself as a great power by formulating ambitious climate policies. Based on the premise that great powers have unique responsibilities this book explores how China’s rise to great power status transforms notions of great power responsibility in general and international climate politics in particular. The author looks empirically at the Chinese party-state’s conceptions of state responsibility discusses the influence of those notions on China’s role in international climate politics and considers both how China will act out its climate responsibility in the future and the broader implications of these actions. Alongside the argument that the international norm of climate responsibility is an emerging attribute of great power responsibility Kopra develops a normative framework of great power responsibility to shed new light on the transformations China’s rise will yield and the kind of great power China will prove to be. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations China studies foreign policy studies international organizations international ethics and environmental politics. | China and Great Power Responsibility for Climate Change

Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition

Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition

In his new book Hanna Samir Kassab examines changes and trends in international politics and the competition between great powers for control of the international system. He argues that the increase in geopolitical economic nationalist and resource competition between three great powers the United States China and Russia points to the changing structure of the international system. This competition is a systemic one focusing more on the rules and norms that defined the system since the end of the Cold War. This American-led unipolar order is translating into a multipolar one. Kassab begins by tracing the decline of the United States after the Iraq War (2003) and the Great Recession (2008) as well as the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia. He describes major foreign policy changes from George H. W. Bush to Donald J. Trump and how the various administrations approached the international system. Russia and China will increase their international influence as the United States pulls back from the international system. Written using simple jargon Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition is equally accessible to academics and casual readers and laypeople interested in international politics.

The Great Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia

The Great Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia

In this first biography in English for fifty years Derek McKay avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead he roots him firmly in his own time a dynastic protestant ruler like many another in Germany but gifted with the toughness and opportunism to overcome the hostility of his local nobilities and of the surrounding great powers. | The Great Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg-Prussia

Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

In this unique volume Rick Szostak takes an innovative approach toward analyzing the Great Depression of the 1930s. Most of the literature focuses on the movement in aggregate variables but Szostak provides evidence primarily at the sectoral level being careful to show that this argument is consistent with aggregate data. Combining a fresh theoretical viewpoint and industry-level analysis Szostak contends that an abundance of process technology made it possible for industry to produce the existing range of products with a much smaller labor input while a shortage of new product technology severely limited the introduction of new products. Pinpointing how the timing of the Second Industrial Revolution affected the evolution of the workplace and how the industrial research laboratories that emerged in the United States in the twentieth century initially emphasized process over product innovation he explains why this conjunction of technological forces caused both consumption and investment to fall so precipitously in early 1929. In addition to exploring the technological and employment experience of specific sectors Szostak looks at trends in income distribution and population and other factors that created the ultimate economic depression. | Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

This book is inspired by a single powerful question. What is it to be great as a philosopher? No single grand answer is presumed to be possible; instead rewardingly close studies of philosophical greatness are developed. This is a scholarly yet accessible volume blending metaphilosophy with the long history of philosophy and traversing centuries and continents. The result is a series of case studies by accomplished scholars each chapter trying to understand and convey a particular philosopher’s greatness: Lloyd P. Gerson on Plato Karyn Lai on Zhuangzi David Bronstein on Aristotle Jonardon Ganeri on Buddhaghosa Jeffrey Hause on Aquinas Gary Hatfield on Descartes Karen Detlefsen on du Chtelet Don Garrett on Hume Allen Wood on Kant (as a moral philosopher) Nicholas F. Stang on Kant (as a metaphysician) Ken Gemes on Nietzsche Cheryl Misak on Peirce David Macarthur on Wittgenstein This also serves a larger philosophical purpose. Might we gain increased clarity about what philosophy is in the first place? After all in practice we individuate philosophy partly through its greatest practitioners’ greatest contributions. The book does not discuss every philosopher who has been regarded as great. The point is not to offer a definitive list of The Great Philosophers but rather to learn something about what great philosophy is and might be from illuminated examples of past greatness. | What Makes a Philosopher Great?

Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World

Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World

Diplomacy is a neglected aspect of Hellenistic history despite the fact that war and peace were the major preoccupations of the rulers of the kingdoms of the time. It becomes clear that it is possible to discern a set of accepted practices which were generally followed by the kings from the time of Alexander to the approach of Rome. The republican states were less bound by such practices and this applies above all to Rome and Carthage. By concentrating on diplomatic institutions and processes therefore it is possible to gain a new insight into the relations between the kingdoms. This study investigates the making and duration of peace treaties the purpose of so-called 'marriage alliances' the absence of summit meetings and looks in detail at the relations between states from a diplomatic point of view rather than only in terms of the wars they fought. The system which had emerged as a result of the personal relationships between Alexander's successors continued in operation for at least two centuries. The intervention of Rome brought in a new great power which had no similar tradition and the Hellenistic system crumbled therefore under Roman pressure. | Great Power Diplomacy in the Hellenistic World
