The excellent chapters brought together by Pardo and Prato in this cutting-edge collection not only demonstrate the continuing vitality of anthropological methods in an urbanized world, but also exemplify the sheer range of novel analytical and theoretical insights that anthropological research in cities can offer. Perfect for students, but also an illuminating read for seasoned professionals inside and outside anthropology. John Gledhill, University of Manchester, UK With half of humanity already living in towns and cities and that proportion expected to increase in the coming decades, society both Western and non-Western is fast becoming urban and even mega-urban. As such, research in urban settings is evidently timely and of great importance. Anthropology in the City brings together a leading team of anthropologists to address the complex methodological and theoretical challenges posed by field-research in urban settings, clearly identifying the significance of the anthropological paradigm in urban research and its centrality both to mainstream academic debates and to society more broadly.

As the world moves towards greater multipolarity, locating China-Africa within the broader structural picture is ever more needed. Deploying an analysis inspired by Karl Polanyi, the book investigates Sino-African ties within the context of evolving sets of global relations and asks whether we are indeed witnessing a double movement unfold, where varieties of capitalisms recover some of the lost ground ceded to hyper-liberalism. The implications for Africa in this milieu are skillfully investigated. Ian Taylor, University of St. Andrews, UK This collection seeks to put contemporary China-Africa relations in critical, comparative context and in doing so, it will go beyond descriptions of inter-regional trade and investment, large and small-scale sectors, to ask whether structural change is underway. Already it is apparent that the growing presence of China in Africa presents the latter with some novel options but whether these will generate a new embeddedness remains problematic. Highlighting the varieties of capitalisms in the new century to the apparent ebullience of the emerging economies in the global South, this book examines such implications for international relations, international political economy, development studies and policies.

This is an important book. It moves our study of Confrontation with Indonesia to the next level, insightfully combining thorough empirical research with clear-eyed theoretical analysis. Tuck presents a well-argued historical example of the difference between respectable strategic coping and aimless muddling through. He demonstrates why we should see British strategy towards Indonesia as both skillful and flawed, analyzing problems facing a middle power with much that resonates today. Brian P . Farrell, National University of Singapore At the heart of this book is the problem of war termination. The British experience in Indonesia in the 1960s represents an illuminating case study of the difficulties associated with strategy and the successful termination of conflicts. The value of this book lies in two areas: as a contribution to the literature on British counter-insurgency operations and as a contribution to the debates on the problems of war termination in the context of strategic thought.

the book succeeds in arguing that in order to best understand the strategic importance of the Sea it is necessary to look beyond state policy and assess the roles of local spoilers such as pirates as well as the growing number of official and unofficial international agreements which have facilitated communication and more effective policy-making in assuring the security of the waterway. The Journal of China Quarterly This book focuses on contemporary maritime security in the South China Sea as well as its connected sea area, the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. It examines security issues concerning the safety of navigation, crackdown on transnational crimes including sea piracy and maritime terrorism, and conflict prevention and resolution. It also covers non-traditional security such as maritime environmental security, and search and rescue at sea.

Despite decades of policy interventions and awareness raising programmes, migration and mobility continue to give rise to tensions and questions of how to live together in a culturally diverse world. Presenting research from a range of settings, Managing Cultural Change takes a new approach to these challenges, re-examining responses to migration and mobility as part of a process of managing wider cultural change.

Illustrated by groundbreaking case studies of efforts by Singapore and Malaysia to bridge the digital divide between rich and poor countries, this book significantly advances our understanding of the process of economic development and the challenges of institution-building that this entails through a masterful and highly readable study that stands at the crossroads of law, economics, and public policy. Michael Trebilcock, University of Toronto, Canada No Miracle examines the role of institutions in bridging the digital divide between rich and poor nations and what that means for the countrys integration into a global economy. Shifting the debate from whether institutions are important to economic development to which institutions are important and how to build them, Wigdor expertly addresses fundamental shortcomings in the existing development literature by identifying specific institutions that mediate the relationship between Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and economic growth.

This study goes beyond economic integration to present a detailed appraisal of cooperation under the overarching themes of economic cooperation, environmental security, human welfare and cooperation in security matters. In the light of the findings of this study, the author proposes that greater cooperation in common human security areas has a potential to pave the way for a cooperation on issues of a contentious nature, particularly terrorism.

An essential guide to an important subject, recommended for generalists and specialists alike...This volume fulfils a vital role in grounding the reader in the historical, material and cultural context of the Indian navy, and Indian maritime thought by leading Indian and Western authors. Patrick Bratton, Hawai`i Pacific University, USA The Indian Navy is gradually emerging as an indispensable tool of Indian diplomacy in recent years, making it imperative for Indian policy-makers and naval thinkers to think anew the role of the nations naval forces in Indian strategy. Theres a long tradition in India of viewing the maritime dimension of security as central to the nations strategic priorities. With Indias economic rise, India is trying to bring that focus back, making its navy integral to national grand strategy. This volume is the first full-length examination of the myriad issues that have emerged out of the recent rise of Indian naval power.

A subtle and searching examination of the interplay of resistance and power in the dynamics of social change, Resisting Gendered Norms raises challenging questions about body, culture, discourse, identity, memory and space. Exploring these issues through richly textured evidence from Cambodia generates provocative reflections on womens and mens possibilities. Jan Aart Scholte, University of Warwick, UK Departing from James Scotts idea that oppression and resistance are in constant change, Resisting Gendered Norms provides us with a compelling account on the nexus between gender, resistance and gender-based violence in Cambodia. To illustrate how resistance is often carried out in the tension between, on the one hand, universal/globalised representations and, on the other, local truths and identity constructions, in-depth interviews with civil society representatives, politicians as well as stakeholders within the legal/juridical system were conducted.

Threat Talk
The Comparative Politics of Internet Addiction
Mary Manjikian, Regent University, USA
The volume provides a truly original contribution to Social Constructivism and internet studies alike by showing how the perceived purpose and function of a technology are not the same across countries. Investigating the case of internet addiction in the United States and China, it is fascinating reading for students and scholars in Political Science, Sociology and Psychology. Giampiero Giacomello, University of Bologna, Italy Threat Talk exposes how US and Chinese scientists and policy-makers have understood and responded to the problem of internet addiction in their societies. Mary Manjikians culturalist approach claims that the internet is neither inherently helpful, nor inherently threatening. Rather, its role and the dangers it poses may be understood differently by different societies.

The world now finds itself at the cusp of momentous transformation effected most importantly by the accelerated rise of China. This timely book tracks Chinas expanding global agenda, while noting the irony of its increasing preoccupation at home. It offers an accessible and cogent synopsis of key issues, but also raises critical questions about Chinas foreign policy.
Zhiqun Zhu has produced the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on Chinas foreign relations. It is a well-researched, detailed, and conceptually stimulating study and very informative for new and experienced readers alike. David Shambaugh, George Washington University, USA This fully revised second edition covers Chinese initiatives in the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific and studies Chinas current efforts to secure energy and other resources, to expand trade and investment, and to enhance soft power around the world. The author further evaluates how Chinas activities affect these regions political economy and how the international community, especially the United States, has reacted to Chinas new diplomacy. Whilst continuing to answer some lingering questions about Chinese foreign policy and its implications for both China and the international community as they become increasingly interdependent, this paperback edition is adapted for classroom use and provides questions for discussion to help readers review the key empirical and theoretical points of each chapter.

As Asia Pacific states wrestle with the burgeoning human needs generated by development and change, can state elites break down the barriers between freedom from fear and freedom from want? This timely collection demonstrates the enduring difficulties of defining human security as tensions endure between the needs of the individual and those of the state. Julie Gilson, University of Birmingham, UK Offering a distinctly Asia-Pacific-oriented perspective to one of the most discussed components of international security policy, human security, this volume of essays by internationally renowned experts assesses countries that have either spearheaded this form of security politics (Japan and Australia) or have recently advanced to become a key player on various aspects of human security in both a domestic and global context (China). The authors provide an interesting investigation into the continued relevance and promise of the human security paradigm against more traditional security approaches. Accordingly, the book appeals to readers across a wide band of the social sciences (international relations, security studies, development studies and public policy) and to practitioners and analysts working in applied settings.

Chinas Banking Law and the National Treatment of ForeignFunded Banks
Wei Wang, Fudan University, China
This is a timely, thorough assessment of an important aspect of Chinas WTO obligations. The analysis ranges from national treatment under the Qing to the 2012 USPRC WTO dispute over China UnionPay, noting not only when unequal treatment hurts foreign-funded banks vis-vis local banks, but also when it helps them. Jane K. Winn, University of Washington, USA This book assesses new developments in and reform of Chinas banking law system following its accession of the WTO. It focuses on the relationship between GATS/ WTO national treatment obligations and Chinas banking law. Tracing the history of national treatment in China, the book compares the treatment of foreign-funded banks with the treatment of Chinese-funded banks and examines the structure and shortcomings of the existing banking law framework in China. This volume is a valuable resource for academics and students as well as professionals and policy-makers working in the field of banking, WTO, Chinese law and foreign trade.

Modern Chinese Real Estate Law is an important examination of the developing real estate market in transitional China. It pays particular attention to law in action in a country with considerable legal uncertainties and is a valuable contribution to the literature. Guanghua Yu, University of Hong Kong With massive growth taking place in the real estate industry, how can China develop a free market and private ownership of land while still officially subscribing to Communist ideology? This study uses fieldwork interviews to establish how the Chinese real estate market operates in practice from both legal and business perspectives. It describes how the market functions, which laws are applicable and how they are applied, and how a nation can achieve dramatic economic growth so rapidly while its legal system is so unsettled.

East Timor provides an unusual opportunity to observe the development of new land legislation in a recentlyestablished nation-state. With its interdisciplinary approach and rich case study material, this volume provides a considered examination of the role of violence and social order in property analysis. Sara Pantuliano, Overseas Development Institute, UK This book is a timely response to the increased international focus on peace-building problems arising from population displacement and post-conflict state fragility. It considers the relationship between property and resilient customary systems in conflict-affected East Timor, including micro-studies of customary land and population displacement during the periods of Portuguese colonization and Indonesian military occupation. It analyses the development of laws relating to customary land in independent East Timor (Timor Leste) and is of interest to property scholars, anthropologists, academics and practitioners in the emerging field of peace and conflict studies.

Hong Kong makes for an interesting comparison of one country, two systems of policing in action. The book is not skittish about revealing circumstances that have led to abuses of power demonstrating Actons adage: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It offers an eye into police reform and the challenges of policing in an evolving Democratic society. Paul C. Friday, University of North Carolina-Charlotte, USA This book is one of the first to document the challenges and opportunities facing the Hong Kong police force following the reversion of political authority from the UK to China in 1997. Thematically organized and oriented towards those issues of greatest concern to the public, such as police accountability, assaults on police, police deployment, surveillance powers, and policing across borders, it provides a detailed discussion of these and other contemporary issues. The opening chapter sets the work within historical context while the final chapter provides a comparison of policing in Hong Kong with public security in the PRC.

SERIES
The Library of Essays on Chinese Law
Series Editor: Perry Keller, Kings College London, UK
This major three volume series on Chinese law brings together leading current research on the structure and operation of law in China and the nature of the Chinese legal system. Chinas legal system has developed at great speed since the Communist Party embarked on its path of economic reform in 1979. Whilst this legal system reflects contemporary Chinas vibrant, market based economy and fast changing society it also undoubtedly reflects the Partys ubiquitous networks and influence and the continued domination of the economy by state owned enterprises. In the face of this overwhelming Party and state power, domestic and foreign reformers have advocated a deepening of the rule of law, constitutionalism and good governance. Yet, law in China is nonetheless finding its own trajectory, which is plainly not towards any simple emulation of western liberal democracy. This collection of previously published articles provides a broad survey of the key issues and developments in the field of Chinese law and is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers and libraries in this rapidly expanding field.

The Library of Essays on Law in East Asia
Series Editor: Roman Tomasic, University of South Australia
Rapid economic development and political change in East Asian economies in recent times has brought about wide-spread change to the laws and legal systems of these countries. Institutions such as the courts, the legal profession, law schools and regulatory bodies in East Asian countries have grown in size and complexity, many older laws have been revised, especially in the field of commercial law, and many new laws have been passed. This series brings together key essays and articles selected from academic and scholarly research into the law and legal change in East Asia. The essays range from studies of the operation of particular laws and legal institutions to comparative law studies, and include analysis of the influences of local culture and political structures. Several essays critique Western legal models of legal reform and the effects of globalization and Americanization on different law reforms and legal institutional arrangements, whilst others consider the distinctive features of East Asian laws and legal institutions, the diversity of market based legal systems and the problems of implementing legal changes in the face of the powerful influence of traditional ideas and political structure in East Asian societies. The four volumes in the series are edited by leading East Asian legal scholars, each of whom contributes an original introduction. Taken together, these volumes collect the best of legal scholarship from the debates about the role of law and legal institutions in increasingly robust East Asian legal systems.

...The book is both an amalgamation of the many forms of the Indian house, as well as a distillation of that strange hybrid called the bungalow. Rigorous research expected of the impeccable credentials of the authors, places the once dormant subject squarely on the literary table. A scholarly work, immensely readable. Gautam Bhatia, Architect, India Focusing on the twentieth century, this book correlates the evolution of the bungalow in India from a one storey building with a verandah to a variety of villa-types with the development of modern Indian history. In doing so, it not only explains the various technological, political and social developments that shaped the bungalow, but it examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved.

...Chinese Urban Design is a fantastic introduction for those new to the country and subject along with those who are more familiar with this unique context. Timothy Heath, University of Nottingham, UK With the rapid development taking place in Chinese cities, there is growing conflict between this new building and the existing urban heritage. This book offers an analytic and conceptual framework for both urban investigation and consequent design. Firstly summarising traditional urban design principles and how Chinese cities have transformed over time, it then introduces and offers a theoretic ground and scientific methodology for understanding the evolution of urban forms, initially developed in western countries. It demonstrates the theoretic model via real cases from the city of Nanjing and establishes a direct link between understanding of urban forms and design development.

Dr Junie Tongs brilliant and timely argument for the model of Finance-in-Society is highly persuasive. Kensei Hiwaki, Tokyo International University, Japan Finance and Society in 21st Century China considers how far the modern economy is disconnected from Chinese culture and history, and questions the common assumption that China has outgrown its reliance on its Western counterparts. Junie Tong applies the work of Belgian economist, banker and social commentator Bernard Lietaer in a specifically Chinese context, highlighting the need to root finance and enterprise in the rhythms and forces within Chinese culture to avoid future chaos and achieve socioeconomic stability in a country now so critical to global well-being.

Managing Responsibly
Alternative Approaches to Corporate Management and Governance
Edited by Jane Buckingham and Venkataraman Nilakant, both at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand
Corporate Social Responsibility
Few tasks are more urgent than rethinking the role of management, after one of the greatest economic convulsions in our history. This admirable book asks all the right questions and offers many challenging answers. It is a stimulating call to action that we would be well advised to heed. A compelling read. Dennis Tourish, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Bringing together the thoughts of scholars looking for alternatives to the self-interest maximization so characteristic of existing corporate governance, Managing Responsibly explores the limitations of the thinking that dominates Western corporate and business culture. Contributors draw on non-Western traditions and experience to suggest workable inter-cultural models that can enhance organisational effectiveness and help to avoid damage to and exploitation of communities and the environment. Chapters written by specialists in economics, management, ethics, health sciences and history ensure a truly interdisciplinary approach. The book highlights the acute need for less self-interested approaches to management. In drawing on values from Indian and Maori traditions it proposes alternatives to Western models of business ethics and suggests ways to develop sustained ethical leadership in the contemporary globalised economy.

The Figurative Works of Chen Hongshou is a smart book by one of the fields smartest young talents. Through the lens of Chen Hongshous paintings and woodblock prints, Tamara Bentley ably discusses the complex philosophical tenets, market economy and social inversions of the late Ming. Arguing for a discourse of authenticity, her nuanced explanation helps readers understand how forgeries and replications could have roles as necessary as the original art objects. Katharine P . Burnett, University of California, USA Despite the importance of Chen Hongshou (15991652) as an artist and scholar of the late Ming period, until now no full length study in English has focused on his work. Author Tamara H. Bentley takes a broadly interdisciplinary approach, treating Chens oeuvre in relation to literary themes and economic changes, and linking these larger concerns to visual analyses. In so doing, Bentley sheds new light not only on Chen, but also on an important cultural moment in the first half of the seventeenth century, when Chinese scholar artists began to direct their work towards anonymous public markets.

Framing China
Media Images and Political Debates in Britain, the USA and Switzerland, 1900-1950
Ariane Knsel, University of Zurich, Switzerland
In this ground-breaking book, Knsel examines how China was portrayed in political debates and the media in Britain, the USA and Switzerland between 1900 and 1950. By focusing on the political, economic, cultural and social context that led to the construction of the particular images of China in each country, the author demonstrates that national interests, anxieties and issues influenced the way China was framed and resulted in different portrayals of China in each country.

In 1582 Alessandro Valignano, the Visitor to the Jesuit mission in the East Indies, sent four Japanese boys to Europe. Until the arrival of the embassy in Europe, the Euro-Japanese encounter had been almost exclusively one way: Europeans going to Japan. This book is an account of their travels, their long journeys out and back, and the 20 months in Europe being received by popes and kings. It was published in Macao in 1590 with the title De Missione Legatorvm Iaponensium ad Romanum curiam. The present edition is the first complete version of this rich, complex and impressive work to appear in English, and is accompanied with maps and illustrations of the mission, and an introduction discussing its context and the subsequent reception of the book.

During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries religious zeal nourished by the mendicants sense of purpose motivated Dominican and Franciscan friars to venture far beyond Europes cultural frontiers to spread their Christian faith into the farthest reaches of Asia. The reports these missionaries sent back to Europe have fascinated successive generations of historians who analysed their travels and struggled to understand their motives and aspirations. The essays selected for this volume, contextualized in the introduction, provide a comprehensive overview of missionary efforts in Asia, and of the developments in the secular world that both made them possible and encouraged the missionaries hopes for success.

Western Visions will make even seasoned historians more deeply aware of the wealth of primary and secondary sources including cartographic sources all too often overlooked in studies of East/West exchange in the early modern period. Professor Lees volume is intelligently designed; the essays are savvy, original and refreshingly free of nation-centered parochialisms. This volume should be in the library of every serious historian of transpacific cultural exchange. Martin Powers, University of Michigan, USA Covering the transpacific period in between Magellans opening of the transpacific route to the Far East and the eventual dominance of the region by the British and the Dutch this collection provides a broad perspective on how Western Europe made sense of a complex, multi-faceted, and by and large Sino-centered East and Southeast Asia.

Studies on Sufism in Central Asia reproduces 12 studies which explore previously unstudied sources with an eye to identifying prominent developments in the social and organisational history of the major Sufi groupings of the region from the 13th to the 17th century. In terms of specific Sufi traditions they reflect DeWeeses attention to groups and individuals that might be identified as Kubravi, Yasavi, and Khwajagani/Naqshband. Four studies focus entirely on Kubravi circles, five on Yasavi subjects with one each on the Khwajagan, Yasavi-Naqshbandi relations and another exploring a group that falls outside these labels.

This important book breaks new ground in cross-cultural philosophy. Over many centuries, Hindu and Buddhist philosophers engaged in sophisticated debates about the existence and nature of the self. These debates are highly relevant to contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive science, for they contain rich analyses of memory, selfconsciousness, embodiment, agency, and emotion. For anyone wanting to understand the Indian debates about selfhood and consciousness, and their significance for philosophy and cognitive science today, this book is essential reading. Evan Thompson, University of Toronto, Canada The debates between various Buddhist and Hindu philosophical systems about the existence, definition and nature of self, occupy a central place in the history of Indian philosophy and religion. These debates concern various issues: what self means; whether the self can be said to exist at all; how the ordinary reality of individual persons can be explained; and the consequences of each position. At a time when comparable issues are at the forefront of contemporary Western philosophy, in both analytic and continental traditions, these classical and medieval Indian debates globalise such discussions.

Sikhs in Europe
Migration, Identities and Representations
Edited by Knut A. Jacobsen, University of Bergen, Norway and Kristina Myrvold, Lund University, Sweden
a volume of interest not only to scholars of migration, religion and South Asia, but also to European Sikhs who to my experience have a keen interest in their own history and heritage this volume is exciting and bodes well for the next outputs of the Sikhs in Europe network, such as Sikhs Across Borders (Jacobsen and Myrvold 2012), and an anticipated focus of future work on inter-generational change and European Sikh youth. Nordic Journal of Migration Research Sikhs in Europe are neglected in the study of religions and migrant groups: previous studies have focused on the history, culture and religious practices of Sikhs in North America and the UK, but few have focused on Sikhs in continental Europe. This book fills this gap, presenting new data and analyses of Sikhs in eleven European countries; examining the broader European presence of Sikhs in new and old host countries. Focusing on patterns of migration, transmission of traditions, identity construction and cultural representations from the perspective of local Sikh communities, this book explores important patterns of settlement, institution building and cultural transmission among European Sikhs.

SOAS Musicology Series
Series Editor: Keith Howard, SOAS, University of London, UK
The study of the worlds many and diverse music cultures has become an important part of the discipline of musicology. Often termed ethnomusicology, the resulting studies share the fundamental recognition that music is cherished by every society in the world. Like language, music is a universal means of individual and cultural expression. It is also infinitely varied. Music in any society has intrinsic value in its own right, and can tell us much about the culture in which it developed. The core of the SOAS Musicology Series comprises studies of different musics, analysed in the contexts of the societies of which they are part, and exploring repertories, performance practice, musical instruments, and the roles and impacts of individual composers and performers. Studies which integrate music with dance, theatre or the visual arts are encouraged, and contextualised studies of music within the Western art canon are not excluded. Reflecting current ethnomusicological theory and practice, the editors recognize the value of interdisciplinary and collaborative research. Volumes may utilise methodologies developed in anthropology, sociology, linguistics and psychology to explore music; they may seek to create a dialogue between scholars and musicians; or they may primarily be concerned with the evaluation of historical documentation. Monographs that explore contemporary and popular musics, the effect of globalization on musical production, or the comparison of different music cultures are also welcomed.

Andrew Killick, University of Sheffield, UK
This is the first book-length study, in English, of an Asian composer who writes primarily for traditional instruments.

Using Hwang Byungki as a focal point, this book also explores how new music for traditional instruments can provide a means of negotiating between a local identity and the modern world order.

Gothic Topographies
Language, Nation Building and Race
Edited by P . M. Mehtonen, Academy of Finland and University of Tampere, and Matti Savolainen, University of Tampere, Finland
A wonderful collection, impressive in its internationalism and its careful attention to real and symbolic geographies. I do not know of any other collection that considers the Gothic as a global phenomenon in such detailed and rigorous ways. Kelly Hurley, University of Colorado, USA This collection takes up the influence of the Gothic mode in literatures that may be geographically remote from one another but still share related issues of minor languages, nation building, place and race. The essays explore the transgressions and confusion of borders and limits, whether they be linguistic, literary, generic, class-based, gendered or sexual. Experts in the Gothic and those new to the field will appreciate the books commitment to situating Gothic sensibilities in an international context.

The History of the Book in the East
Series Editor: Peter Kornicki, University of Cambridge, UK
This series on the history of the book in the East focuses attention on three areas of the world which for a long time have been undeservedly left on the margins of the global history of the book: the Middle East, South Asia and East Asia. The importance of these three regions of the world lies not only in the sheer antiquity of printing in East Asia, where both movable type and wood blocks were used centuries before Gutenbergs invention changed the face of book production in Europe, but also in the manuscript traditions and very different responses to printing technology in the Middle East and South Asia. This series forms an important counterbalance to the Eurocentrism of the history of the book as practised in the West. The three volumes are edited by renowned experts in the field and each includes an introduction which provides an overview of research in the field. This series offers a significant benefit to students, lecturers and libraries as it brings together leading articles in the field from disparate journals which are often difficult to locate and of limited access. Students are thus able to study leading articles side by side for comparison whilst lecturers are provided with an invaluable one-stop teaching resource.
