Описание: Mediterranean in Dis/order reveals the connection between space and politics by examining the role that space has played in insurgencies, conflicts, uprisings, and mobilities in the Mediterranean region. With this approach, the authors are able to challenge well-established beliefs about the power structure of the state across different disciplines (including political science, history, sociology, geography, and anthropology), and its impact on the conception, production, and imagination of space in the broader Mediterranean. Further, they contribute to particular areas of studies, such as migration, political Islam, mobilization, and transition to democracy, among others. The book, infusing critical theory, unveils original and revelatory case studies in Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Morocco, and the EU Mediterranean policy, through a various set of actors and practices—from refugees and migrations policies, to Islamist or students’ movements, architectural sites, or movies. This multidisciplinary perspective on space and power provides a valuable resource for practitioners interested in how space, context, and time interact to produce institutions, political subjectivities, and asymmetries of power, particularly since the turning point of the Arab uprisings. The book also helps readers understand the conditions under which the uprisings develop, giving a clearer picture about various national, regional, and international dynamics.

Описание:
The United States and China are arguably the most globally consequential actors of the early twenty first century, and look set to remain so into the foreseeable future. This volume seeks to highlight that American images of China are responsible for constructing certain truths and realities about that country and its people. It also introduces the understanding that these images have always been inextricable from the enactment and justification of US China policies in Washington, and that those policies themselves are active in the production and reproduction of imagery and in the protection of American identity when seemingly threatened by that of China.
Demonstrating how past American images of China are vital to understanding the nature and significance of those which circulate today, Turner addresses three key questions:
What have been the dominant American images of China and the Chinese across the full lifespan of Sino-US relations?
How have historical and contemporary American images of China and the Chinese enabled and justified US China policy?
What role does US China policy play in the production and reproduction of American images of China?
Exploring and evaluating a wide-ranging variety of sources including films and television programmes, newspaper and magazine articles, the records and journals of politicians and diplomats and governmental documents including speeches and legal declarations this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of US foreign policy, American politics, China studies and international relations.

Описание: In addition to the traditional theories used in studying world politics, The Logic of World Politics in the New World Dis-Order provides students with a new conceptual tool to help them make sense of the complex international system that has evolved since the Cold War.The book introduces readers to both realpolitik and neo-liberalism. However, rather than focusing on only one as the proper framework for analyzing international events, the text presents readers with a comparative ethos, and stresses the value of choosing the most appropriate framework for analysis in a particular situation.The text addresses this comparative ethos and Cold War thematics, topics in world history traditionally associated with realpolitik, U.S. foreign policy as a subset of world politics, topics traditionally associated with neo-liberalism, and failures of the current nation-state system.Students learn about globalization, international law and organizations, transnational actors, integration theory, and international security.The Logic of World Politics in the New World Dis-Order is appropriate for both upper- and lower-division courses in world politics and international relations.

Описание:
This book explores the commonalities between the struggles of the last years around the Mediterranean and tries to find the cultural roots of this season of protests and activism against repression and a growing systemic crisis. Who are their main characters? How has mobility of ideas and persons contributed to it? Why has the Mediterranean become the cradle of civil resistance? And how can one make sure that what has begun bears fruit? The author discusses how a strategic action of social movements and activists from both Europe and the Arab world can build the basis for a grassroots project for integration between the two shores, where mobility is at the core: on the one hand, mobility of ideas, activists, men and women of culture and other key-players, and trans-national strategizing; on the other hand, challenging the paradigms of visa policies and striving for a space of safe human mobility as one of the steps of a grassroots Mediterranean citizens project. Providing argument to a new theory of social mobilization, this book will be of interest to scholars of European and Arab politics as well as to political activists in the region.
