Rearranging The Landscape Of The Gods: The Politics Of A

When people create new societies,economies,and nations--both now and in the past--they create gods,rituals,and miracles to support them. Even what seem to be some of the most timeless and sacred sites in the world have been shaped,reshaped,and reinterpreted by countless people to produce oases of peace and nature today. Using miracle tales,votive plaques,diaries,and newspapers,Sarah Thal traces such changes at one of the most popular Japanese pilgrimage sites of the nineteenth and twen

The Alawis of Syria: War,Faith and Politics in the Levant

Throughout the turbulent history of the Levant the 'Alawis - a secretive,resilient and ancient Muslim sect - have aroused suspicion and animosity,including accusations of religious heresy.

Congress and the Politics of National Security

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Auerswald, David P. / Campbell, Colton C., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, a growing number of observers and practitioners have called for a reexamination of our national security system. Central to any such reform effort is an evaluation of Congress. Is Congress adequately organized to deal with national security issues in an integrated and coordinated manner? How have developments in Congress over the past few decades, such as heightened partisanship, message politics, party committee relationships, and bicameral relations, affected topical security issues? This volume examines variation in the ways Congress has engaged federal agencies overseeing our nation's national security as well as various domestic political determinants of security policy.

Punk Rock and the Politics of Place

Punk Rock and the Politics of Place

Punk Rock and the Politics of Place: This book is an ethnographic investigation of punk subculture as well as a treatise on the importance of place: a location with both physical form and cultural meaning. Rather than examining punk as a "e sound"e or a "e style"e as many previous works have done, it investigates the places that the subculture occupies and the cultural practices tied to those spaces. Since social groups need spaces of their own to practice their way of life, this work relates punk values and practices to the forms of their built environments. As not all social groups have an equal ability to secure their own spaces, the book also explores the strategies punks use to maintain space and what happens when they fail to do so.

Fenced Off: The Suburbanization of American Politics

Fenced Off: The Suburbanization of American Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gainsborough, Juliet F., PUBLISHER: Georgetown University Press, Since the s a distinctive suburban politics has emerged in the United States, Juliet F. Gainsborough argues in Fenced Off. As suburbs have become less economically and socially dependent on the central cities, suburban and urban dwellers have diverged not only in their voting patterns but also in their thinking about national politics. While political reporters have long noted this difference, few quantitative studies have been conducted on suburbanization -- above and beyond race or class -- as a political trend. Using census and public opinion statistics, along with data on congressional districts and party platforms, Gainsborough demonstrates that this "ideology of localism" weakens when suburbs experience city-like problems and strengthens when racial and economic differences with the nearby city increase. In addition, Gainsborough uses national survey data from the s to the s to show that a separate suburban politics has arisen only during the last two decades. Further, she argues, the political differences between urban and suburban voters have found expression in changes in congressional representation and new electoral strategies for the major political parties. As Congressional districts become increasingly suburban, "soccer moms" and liveability agendas come to dominate party platforms, and the needs of the urban poor disappear from political debate. Fenced Off uses the tools of political science to prove what political commentators have sensed -- that the suburbs offer a powerful voting bloc that is being courted with sophisticated new strategies.

Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping

Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping

Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping: Renowned for his coverage of China&apos s elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping--General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since November . With rare insight, Lam describes Xi&apos s personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the country&apos s likely future directions under the charismatic " princeling." Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy by launching large-scale anti-corruption and rectification campaigns. With a strong power base in the People&apos s Liberation Army and a vision of China as an " awakening lion," Xi has been flexing China&apos s military muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the " red aristocracy" and the CCP&apos s status as " perennial ruling party" do not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam takes a close look at Xi&apos s ideological and political profile and considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new strongman calls " the Great Renaissance of the Chinese race."

Institutions and the Politics of Survival in Jordan:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lucas, Russell E., PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, Weaving together accounts of historical developments, cultural elements, economic factors, and regional and international dynamics, Russell E. Lucas explores how the monarchy in Jordan survived economic crisis and regional political instability during the s. Lucas analyzes the factors behind the successful liberalization and deliberalizations of laws regulating political parties, the parliament, and the press that helped preserve the monarchy. These institutional survival strategies co-opted the opposition, kept it divided, and reinforced the unity of the regime's coalition of supporters. The author also compares survival strategies in Jordan with those of Morocco. Kuwait, Iran, and Egypt to explain the surprising durability of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East.

UNHCR: The Politics and Practice of Refugee Protection

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Betts, Alexander / Loescher, Gil / Milner, James, PUBLISHER: Routledge, This is a concise and comprehensive introduction to both the world of refugees and the UN organization that protects and assists them. Written by experts in the field, this is one of the very few books that trace the relationship between state interests, global politics, and the work of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugeesa (TM) (UNHCR). Looking ahead into the twenty-first century, the authors outline how the changing nature of conflict and displacement poses UNHCR with a new array of challenges and how there exists a fundamental tension between the UNa (TM)s human rights agenda of protecting refugees fleeing conflict and persecution and the security, political and economic interests of states around the world. Key topics discussed include: The UNHCR as an actor in world politics since Refugee definition and protection instruments New challenges to the UNHCR's mandate Institutional strengths and weaknesses Asylum crises in the global North and global South Protracted refugee situations and internally displaced persons Key criticisms and continuing relevance of the UNHCR.
