Описание: How do migrants and refugees fashion group identities in the modern world? Following two communities of German-speaking Mennonites across four continents between 1870 and 1945, this transnational study explores how religious nomads selectively engaged with nationalism to secure practical objectives and create local mythologies.
The end of the Cold War marks the geopolitical peak of America’s global primacy. The centerpiece of U.S. Foreign Policy in the pre-pandemic world order was the assumption that promoting human rights and democracy will secure peace. However, the Coronavirus Pandemic challenged the U.S.-dominated globalized order. The international system in the post-pandemic age embodies a paradox of the American primacy and the Chinese struggle for global domination. Pandemics Among Nations: U.S. Foreign Policy and the New Grand Chessboard addresses the geopolitical puzzle of the post-pandemic world order and seeks to explain how COVID 19 has remastered Brzezinski’s theory of the Grand Chessboard. In this book, Ivanov offers a two-level approach, emphasizing the consequences of the Pandemic and their impact on U.S. Foreign Policy. He also argues that if the United States wants to maintain its leadership in the post-pandemic world order, Washington should develop a new concept of smart power to deter the Chinese Art of War.
The foremost goal of Pandemics Among Nations is to analyze how America could overcome the geopolitical effects of the Pandemic. The author examines three possible scenarios for the future role of the United States on the post-pandemic Chessboard. The analysis rests on the testing of a series of research hypotheses across a structured comparison of all elements of the remastered Grand Chessboard, not just on isolated case studies such as China’s rise, Russian New Imperialism or European ambitions for a mutual defense.

Описание: The following is a brief description of the prevailing spiritual and moral tides that were washing over much of Europe and America in the early eighteenth century--God's ""righteous name had been intolerably dishonored, his pure and holy word disregarded by incompetent or unconverted clergy, and the human family, created to glorify God and enjoy him forever, willfully and with abandon gave themselves to all manner of corruption."" These were despairing times--with striking similarities to our present day. And yet, in the midst of this seemingly hopeless era, the omnipotent God did what no man alone could accomplish: he restored the honor due to his great name, and exalted the power of his holy word through a revival that set ablaze two spiritually parched continents--God Walked Among the Nations The pulpit was powerfully revived, men and women by the tens of thousands were soundly converted, and biblical renewal and social reformation flourished throughout the land. Do you wonder if a revival so vast in scope that it produces extraordinary biblical, moral, and social reformation throughout your nation is even possible? If you're pondering this question, then it is time to read about the glorious event best known as the First Great Awakening and renew your hope. ""I never tire of revival literature. In fact, I need it. This work is colorful, motivating, and accurate. Through Gleason's stories of the principal characters of the Great Awakening, I'm stirred to seek such a visitation from God again. Of particular value is the descriptive portrait he paints through his research of the hopeless, immoral culture preceding the Awakening. This inspires new hope for our day, which seems equally as depraved. It's not impossible for God to turn us around dramatically for his honor. Read and hope."" --Jim Elliff, President, Christian Communicators Worldwide ""With historical accuracy, theological depth, and winsome prose, Michael Gleason has woven together a masterpiece of storytelling by using first person accounts and primary sources to draw the reader into one of the greatest periods of early American history. It is a book that is hard to put down, reminding us that God's sovereign hand of mercy to save is always accompanied by the faithful preaching of the gospel, sound doctrine, and a reliance on the Holy Spirit."" --Eric J. Bargerhuff, Trinity College of Florida ""The revivals of the eighteenth century have long been regarded as paradigms of revival, and rightly so. And while they have been the subject of numerous studies, this new one by Michael Gleason is especially helpful for its demonstration of the present relevance of this era of church history."" --Michael A. G. Haykin, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Michael F. Gleason earned MDiv and DMin degrees from Ashland Theological Seminary, and has served over four decades in a variety of pastoral ministry roles within the church, as well as on several university campuses as a chaplain. Additionally, he taught at various schools in the fields of biblical studies, practical ministry, and philosophy. He is also the author of When God Walked on Campus: A Brief History of Evangelical Awakenings at American Colleges and Universities (2013).

Описание:
To no group subject to sociological and political analysis has honour seemed to matter more than to the military. Their idea of it has commonly been accepted as the most superior, open to emulation to the limited extent that different circumstances and purposes in non-military life permit.
The degeneration of this concept and of the public realm in which honour's obligations have to be observed is the subject of this book, based on the 1981 Joanne Goodman Lectures at the University of Western Ontario.
Best begins with the discovery, in the age of the American and French revolutions, of the nation as the supreme object of honourable service. He discusses how nationalism and democracy marched together through the nineteenth century to harden this creed and broaden its base, so that what had previously been a code for noblemen became a popular code for patriots.
He finds that, in spite of the historical naturalness, even inevitability, of nationalism, its ensuing and corrective counter-current, internationalism, is a much more appealing principle. In internationalism, a tradition of cosmopolitan, transnational thought and activity, unmoved by the passions of nationalism and critical of them on the grounds of humanity and peace, he perceives a greater field for honourable service--honour's obligation to the service of mankind.
Best casts new light upon some familiar historical episodes and values and suggests fruitful fields for future study.
