Urban Anthropology

Australia-China Relations post 1949


Sixty Years of Trade and Politics
Yi Wang, Griffith University, Australia
provides new insights into the Australia-China relationship since 1949 by taking an innovative approach grounded in political science and international relations theories. It challenges the conventional wisdom about Australias dependence on great and powerful allies, and examines the interactions of trade and politics in Canberras foreign policy-making process. It makes a significant contribution to the literature that has hitherto been dominated by historians and economists. Edmund S. K. Fung, University of Western Sydney, Australia This book challenges the common perceptions of Australian dependence upon great-power allies in the conduct of its foreign relations through a critical examination of Australias relations with the Peoples Republic of China. The author focuses on the economic and political dimensions of the policy-making process from the founding of the PRC in 1949 to the present era, against an analytical framework that takes into account both internal and external factors in the formulation and implementation of Australian foreign policy.

Can Peace Research Make Peace?


Lessons in Academic Diplomacy
Timo Kivimki, University of Helsinki, Finland and Uppsala University, Sweden
Prof. Kivimkis book is a fascinating analysis of the sources of and remedies to the conflict in Indonesias West Kalimantan. It is interesting not only for Indonesiaspecialists, but also to peace researchers and peace activists. As a crucial peace practitioner in West Kalimantan, and a theorist, Prof. Kivimki reveals the role of peace researchers as part of a team in a collaborative venture: officials and peace researchers can work together for peace. What both his practice and his analysis has pointed out is that peace research really does have an important role to play in the settlement of conflicts. H. Djohermansyah Djohan, Ministry of Internal Affairs, The Republic of Indonesia This book is about the process and, more generally, about the opportunities that peace research and the teaching of conflict resolution can offer academic diplomacy. As such the book is both an empirical and a theoretical project. While it aims at being the most comprehensive analysis of the conflict in West Kalimantan, it also launches a new theoretical approach, neo-pragmatism, and offers lessons for the prevention of conflicts elsewhere. November 2012 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 198 pages 978-1-4094-5202-7 978-1-4094-5203-4 978-1-4094-7188-2 55.00

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.

Thai Multiracialities and Haunted Ascendancies


Jinthana Haritaworn, York University, Canada
This timely and important book offers us a critical lens with which to read the increasing vitality of the figure of the multiracial subject. Drawing on interviews as well as diverse theoretical texts on race, biopolitics, affect and disability, it offers both a persuasive diagnosis of the politics of racial inclusion, and an exploration of how we inhabit worlds in which mixing is at once celebrated and feared. Sara Ahmed, Goldsmiths College, UK The Biopolitics of Mixing invites us to reckon with the spectres of pathologization past and present, placing the celebration of mixing beside moral panics over terrorism and trafficking and a post-race multiculturalism that elevates some as privileged members of the neoliberal community, whilst ghosting others from it. Drawing on rich qualitative interviews conducted in Britain and Germany, media and policy debates, popular culture, race-based research and queer-of-colour theories, this book imagines into being communities in which people and places normally kept separate can coexist in the same reality.

Politics, International Relations, Sociology and Social Policy

China-Africa Relations in an Era of Great Transformations


Edited by Li Xing with Abdulkadir Osman Farah, both at Aalborg University, Denmark
The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series

Confrontation, Strategy and War Termination


Britains Conflict with Indonesia
Christopher Tuck, Kings College London at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, UK
Military Strategy and Operational Art

Energy, Governance and Security in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma)


A Critical Approach to Environmental Politics in the South
Adam Simpson, University of South Australia
Transforming Environmental Politics and Policy

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. June 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 200 pages 978-1-4094-6478-5 978-1-4094-6479-2 978-1-4094-6480-8 55.00

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.

Based on extensive fieldwork in the region this ground-breaking book explores the important role that environmental movements from these countries are playing in promoting effective energy and environmental governance. By comparing the nature of this activism under two very different political regimes, Simpson provides crucial theoretical insights for sustainable resource development in the South.

The Ethnic Penalty


Immigration, Education and the Labour Market
Reza Hasmath, University of Oxford, UK
The Ethnic Penalty is a compelling study that explores ethnicity and difference in a contemporary multicultural state. Skillfully meshing ethnographic field work with long term quantitative data Hasmath persuasively demonstrates the subtle and various modes of discrimination that shape the lives of migrants and their children across their life course. Catriona Elder, University of Sydney, Australia The Ethnic Penalty argues that a penalty has impeded the occupational success of ethnic minorities during the job search, hiring and promotion process. In this context, the book examines whether explanatory factors such as discrimination, an individuals social network, a firms working culture and a communitys social trust are major contributing reasons behind this apparent penalty, whilst also making suggestions for improvement for visible ethnic minorities.

Decentring the West


The Idea of Democracy and the Struggle for Hegemony
Edited by Viatcheslav Morozov, University of Tartu, Estonia
This is a provocative and wide-ranging collection of essays on the practices and meanings of democracy in the contemporary world outside of the Western core countries. Employing theories of hegemony and postcolonial societies, without reducing democracy to an artefact of Western imperialism, Morozov and his collaborators seek to explore the emancipatory possibilities of democratic discourses in the challenging conditions of our increasingly globalized world. Jack Donnelly, University of Denver, USA Decentring the West aims to demonstrate the urgent need to revisit the foundations of the global democratic consensus. By examining the views of democracy that exist in the countries on the semi-periphery of the world system such as Russia, Turkey, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil and China, as well as within the core (Estonia, Denmark and Sweden) the authors emphasise the truly universal significance of democracy, also showing the value of approaching this universality in a critical manner, as a consequence of the hegemonic position of the West in global politics.

This book compiles some of the most important cases of conflict resolution in Southeast Asia. It also deals with a number of important cases involving maritime disputes and their resolution.

Political Corruption in Comparative Perspective


Sources, Status and Prospects
Edited by Charles Funderburk, Wright State University, USA
What an eye-opener! This book offers a scandal-ridden overview of worldwide political corruption, and the challenges facing countries attempting to get on top of this cancer. Its a great read whether youre a student, or just looking for an education in the underside of the worlds political arena. Paul R. Leonard, Wright State University, USA Using a concise, comparative approach based on original case studies Political Corruption in Comparative Perspective: Sources, Status and Prospects provides context and clarity on this complex problem. Cases analysed include countries and organisations as diverse as The United States, Brazil, Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, NGOs and The United Nations. International contributors discuss the historical background of political corruption in a particular country, region or organisation and focus on the causes and consequences of that corruption before offering overviews and opinion on how the problem might be addressed. September 2012 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 224 pages 978-1-4094-4250-9 978-1-4094-4251-6 978-1-4094-8352-6 55.00

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.

The Politics of Nuclear Weapons in South Asia


Edited by Bhumitra Chakma, University of Hull, UK
Pakistan and India have been on the verge of nuclear war several times in the past two decades. This book explores the complexities of their relationship with great clarity and in unparalleled depth. It will be an invaluable resource for anyone seeking accurate, detailed and up-to-date information on the nuclear balance in South Asia. Peter Mayer, University of Adelaide, Australia An important and critical re-evaluation of South Asias post-tests nuclear politics. Unlike other books, this volume emphasises the political dimension of South Asias nuclear weapons, explains how the bombs are used as politico-strategic assets rather than pure battlefield weapons and how they are employed by India and Pakistan in an extremely complex and competitive South Asian strategic landscape. August 2011 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 278 pages 978-1-4094-2625-7 978-1-4094-2626-4 978-1-4094-7641-2 60.00

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. December 2011 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 164 pages 978-1-4094-2510-6 978-1-4094-2511-3 978-1-4094-9488-1 50.00

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.

Indian Perceptions and Strategies
Edited by Marlne Laruelle, George Washington University, USA, and Sbastien Peyrouse, Johns Hopkins University, USA
Laruelle and Peyrouse offer a seminal addition to the literature and partially fill the void in scholarship on Central Asia from the South Asian perspective. Given Indias rise as a regional power and strategic player, this book should be on the shelf of every student and specialist of Central Asia, and is required reading for those formulating policy on the region. Reuel R. Hanks, Oklahoma State University, USA With renewed American involvement in Afghanistan, Pakistans growing fragility and Chinas rise in power in the post-Soviet space, Central Asia-South Asia relations have become central to understanding the future of the Eurasian continent. Mapping Central Asia identifies the trends, attitudes, and ideas that are key to structuring the Central Asia-South Asia axis in the coming decade.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS Contemporary Issues in the South China Sea


Series Editors: Shicun Wu, National Institute for South China Sea Studies, China and Keyuan Zou, University of Central Lancashire, UK
Peace and security is a lasting theme in international relations. The recent high tensions in the South China Sea indicate clearly the necessity to study the maritime field. No doubt, the South China Sea has become a testing ground on how to maintain peace and security in East Asia, even in the whole world. With the mounting tensions, South China Sea studies have become a hot area for scholars to explore. As such, the series will consider book projects from many disciplines of the social sciences although particular emphasis will largely be on International law and relations, strategic studies, maritime security and political economy. In order to broaden the scope of the series, the series welcomes works relating to the South China Sea and/or East Asian sea.

Tradition, Culture and Aesthetics in Contemporary Asian Cinema


Peter C. Pugsley, University of Adelaide, Australia
A major scholarly achievement, demonstrating not only the contours of Asian cinema, but also its significant aesthetic underpinnings, major auteurs and the manner in which it was marketed and received in the West. A long-awaited text for classroom use, but one which should be read by anyone who speaks of Asian cinema in global contexts. David Desser, Emeritus, University of Illinois, USA From the critically acclaimed Malaysian film Sepet to the on-going box office successes of the films created by Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai, cinematic texts from the nations of Asia are increasingly capturing audiences beyond their national boundaries. Tradition, Culture and Aesthetics in Contemporary Asian Cinema explores the rise of popular Asian cinema and provides an understanding of the aesthetic elements that mark these films as Asian cinema. Incorporating examples of contemporary films from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and India, Pugsley gives readers a fresh insight into the rapidly developing discourse on popular Asian media.

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.

Resisting Gendered Norms


Civil Society, the Juridical and Political Space in Cambodia
Mona Lilja, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Gender in a Global/Local World

www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409430872

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.

Transformative Policy for Poor Women


A New Feminist Framework
Bina Fernandez, University of Melbourne, Australia
...This well-written book is sure to inspire applications worldwide and the world will be the better for them. Barbara Harriss-White, Oxford University, UK In this book, Bina Fernandez successfully presents a new feminist framework for policy analysis that can account for failures in policy processes to benefit poor women. Recognising that policy is a multiply layered, contingent and politically contested discursive process, the author proposes the analysis of policy through four analytical categories: Constitutive Contexts, Representations, Practices and Consequences.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS Paradigms from Asian Politics


Series Editors: Alexander C. Tan and James Ockey, both at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand
The political transformation of Asia has been phenomenal but varied. Whilst some countries have successfully consolidated their democratic systems, others continue to be mired in weak democratic structures, and still others remain authoritarian. Though there is an increasing understanding of how formal politics in Asia work and the consequences of constitutional structures in transforming economic, social, and political life, less is known about how social agents and structures outside of formal institutions of political power affect politics. This series not only helps us gain a better understanding of the 'how,' 'what' and 'why' of power and politics in Asia but ultimately helps us develop, critique, and refine extant theories and our general understanding of politics.

Uncovering African Agency


Angolas Management of Chinas Credit Lines
Lucy Corkin, University of London, UK
Lucy Corkins deep account of how the Angolan Government exercises its agency, and how it negotiates with China, is revelatory. The work is nuanced and balanced and important. Stephen Chan, School of Oriental & African Studies, UK In this thought provoking and original work Lucy Corkin demonstrates how Angola has been amongst the most successful of African nations to use Chinas involvement in the region to grow their economies and solicit renewed interest from previously disengaged foreign powers, bolstering their political capital. Uncovering African Agency casts a fascinating new light on Chinas involvement with her largest African trading partner and through this shows how different African states and the governmental actors within them are able to exploit the relationship to their best advantage.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS Rethinking Asia and International Relations


Series Editor: Emilian Kavalski, University of Western Sydney, Australia
This series seeks to provide thoughtful consideration both of the growing prominence of Asian actors on the global stage and the changes in the study and practice of world affairs that they provoke. It intends to offer a comprehensive parallel assessment of the full spectrum of Asian states, organisations, and regions and their impact on the dynamics of global politics. The series seeks to encourage conversation on: which rules, norms, and strategic cultures are likely to dominate international life in the Asian Century how global problems will be reframed and addressed by a rising Asia which institutions, actors, and states are likely to provide leadership during such shifts to the East whether there is something distinctly Asian about the emerging patterns of global politics Such comprehensive engagement not only aims to offer a critical assessment of the actual and prospective roles of Asian actors, but also seeks to rethink the concepts, practices and frameworks of analysis of world politics. This series invites proposals for interdisciplinary research monographs undertaking comparative studies of Asian actors and their impact on the current patterns and likely future trajectories of international relations.

Rethinking Asia and International Relations

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.

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 Citizen and the Chinese State


Edited by Perry Keller, Kings College London, UK
This volume addresses several core questions regarding the nature of law in China and its future development. In particular, these articles shed light on whether the rule of law ideal is commensurable with government based on the Chinese Communist Party. Beginning virtually from scratch, China has established a comprehensive legal system that boasts a constitution, primary and secondary legislation and plentiful regulations covering most areas of public and private life. Yet, as these articles discuss, its courts are enmeshed in Party and state hierarchies and are not empowered to directly apply constitutional principles or rights, ensuring that the law is subordinate to national public policy goals. Legal and extra-legal methods for punishing wrongdoing and resolving disputes also raise questions of due process of law. Ultimately, the question is therefore whether Chinas legal system, if eschewing formalised human rights, is developing a capacity to protect fundamental human dignity.

Law and the Market Economy in China


Edited by Perry Keller, Kings College London, UK
This volume concerns several aspects of Chinas changing market based economy. These include commercial contract enforcement, corporate structures, competition law and other issues related to Chinas membership in the WTO. In the past two decades, the rapid integration of Chinas economy into the global marketplace has created obligations and expectations of non-discrimination and regulatory transparency in domestic markets. The Chinese government has responded by demanding better governance within major companies, market sectors and public administration generally. However, as the articles in this volume show, it has struggled to find a corporate structure capable of absorbing external equity investment and participation but still amenable to direct and indirect state guidance. It has also moved cautiously in creating legal controls over unfair competition. Moreover, the protection of state owned enterprises, which serve as vehicles for domestic economic, social and political policy, has been a recurring issue in Chinas WTO trade disputes. Includes 13 previously published journal articles August 2011 Hardback 540 pages 978-0-7546-2861-3 160.00

Obligations and Property Rights in China


Edited by Perry Keller, Kings College London, UK
This volume concerns the rights and obligations of the individual in three critically important contexts: employment relations, family relations and the ownership of immovable property. The development of these legal institutions has helped to transform economic and social relations in contemporary China. In this volume, the articles illustrate firstly a shift away from close state control towards greater freedom for enterprises to use human and natural resources to achieve economic growth and for citizens to pursue their personal lives. More recently, the government has responded to public demands for greater security in employment, home ownership and agricultural land rights with new primary legislation, including the Employment Contract Law and Property Rights Law. Yet, as this volume also shows, the Communist Party has been reluctant to allow empowerment of the individual to threaten other public policy goals, such as the states ultimate control over the conditions of employment or land use.

Law

SERIES
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.

International Law in East Asia


Edited by Zou Keyuan, University of Central Lancashire, UK and Jianfu Chen, La Trobe University, Australia.
As the worlds political and economic landscape changes in response to the rise of Asian countries such as China, so Asian influences on the global legal order will become more pronounced. Many countries in the region, such as Japan and South Korea, influence the development of international law in various ways, either individually or collectively through multinational organisations such as ASEAN. This collection of published work by leading East Asian scholars covers Asian perspectives concerning various issues in international law, ranging from general perspectives to particular themes such as international economic law, international human rights law, international ocean law, international criminal law, international security law and international dispute settlement. For the first time it provides a comprehensive picture of how and why East Asian countries participate in international law making, as well as comply with international law in their state practices. In so doing, the editors attempt to address the question whether the rising powers in East Asia will change the existing international legal order in future.

Law and Society in East Asia


Edited by Christoph Antons, Deakin University, Australia and Roman Tomasic, University of South Australia
The massive and complex process of change in East Asia over recent decades has brought about a transformation in the nature of law and legal institutions in the region. Whilst the process of change has to some degree mimicked western models of law and legal change, there have been significant differences in approach due to the different social foundations of East Asian societies. The more obvious of these has been the variety of ways in which rule of law ideas have been adopted in many East Asian countries where the role of the state is more dominant when compared with Western models. This volume brings together a selection of the most important writings on East Asia of researchers in recent years, and shows the broad range of questions which researchers have been addressing about the effect of law reform and legal change in societies dominated by traditional values and political forces, and at a time of massive economic change.

Public Law in East Asia is a collection of the leading Englishlanguage articles on constitutional and administrative law in the Asian region, written by many of the leading scholars from this area. The region has its own distinct legal and political traditions, and its systems of government have facilitated dynamic economic growth, but the role of public law has not been well understood. Covering a wide range of jurisdictions in a single volume, this collection provides insights into the ways in which institutions of Western origin have been integrated into Asian political and legal cultures, producing new syntheses.

Architecture and Urban Form in Kuala Lumpur
Race and Chinese Spaces in a Postcolonial City
Yat Ming Loo, University College London, UK
This book is arguably the first academic book to examine the relationship of Malaysias large Chinese minority with the politics of architecture and urbanism in Kuala Lumpur. It is also one of the few academic books to situate the Chinese diaspora spaces at the centre of the construction of city and nation. By including the spatial contestation of those from the margins and their resistance against the hegemonic state ideology, this book proposes a recuperative urban and architectural history, seeking to revalidate the marginalised spaces of minority community (Chinese spaces in Kuala Lumpur), and re-script them into the narrative of the postcolonial nation-state.

Chinas Disappearing Countryside


Towards Sustainable Land Governance for the Poor
Yongjun Zhao, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
This book provides a lens into a multilayered crisis faced by Chinas peasant households. Zhao shows how the confluence of policy, growing markets, lack of representation, illegal expropriations and distant opportunities shape peasant attachment to and departures from the land. The book provides a wonderful primer for anyone studying land tenure, poverty and governance struggles in present-day rural China. Jesse Ribot, University of Illinois, USA This book examines the linkages between land tenure, development and governance in the context of Chinas development transformation. Drawing on empirical studies, it advocates the exploration of innovative land tenure systems that address the wider determinants: institutions, power, politics and social development. The book takes a paradigm shift away from those focusing on the narrow meaning of land rights and tenure security strengthening, as these approaches can paradoxically contribute to weaker land and resource governance. The lessons learnt from China also shed light on its global engagement on sustainable development and governance issues.

...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.

Rethinking Displacement: Asia Pacific Perspectives


Edited by Ruchira Ganguly-Scrase, The Australian Catholic University, and Kuntala Lahiri-Dutt, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Displacement is the scandal of the closing decades of the last century and the beginning of the new one. Human rights activists, humanitarian agencies, policy makers, development experts, and government planners are struggling to cope with the problem of displacement. Part of the reason behind the apparent intractability of the issue is a lack of concrete analysis of the various causes and forms of displacement. This collection of essays not only manages to fill the need, by bringing in the perspective of the new global order, it manages to tell us a different story of the Asian Century...a must read for critical social scientists and developmental specialists of our time. Ranabir Samaddar, Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, India This book explores the multitude of interconnected factors causing displacements that compel people to move within their homelands or traverse various borders.It brings together historical and contemporary accounts and critical examinations of the displaced and articulates the commonalities in their lived experiences. It accomplishes the task of charting a new path in displacement studies by offering a number of studies from interdisciplinary and diverse methodological approaches.

The Economic, Political and Social Context
Edited by Emmanuel C. Alozie
This engaging book provides in-depth, illuminating perspectives on and discussions and analyses of the advertising landscape, by world regions, thereby ensuring that advertising programs and campaigns are designed and implemented strategically for maximum effect. This comprehensive, up-close collection is an authoritative testament to the growing importance of advertising as a truly, deeply global activity. Cornelius B. Pratt, Temple University, USA Advertising in Developing and Emerging Countries offers an in-depth analysis of advertising in developing and emerging economies, as they join the global economy and seek to improve the socio-economic condition of their citizens.

Entrepreneurship and Sustainability


Business Solutions for Poverty Alleviation from Around the World
Edited by Daphne Halkias, University of Bergamo, Italy and Paul W. Thurman, Columbia University, USA
This book gives you a window into this new sub-field of international development that aims to fight poverty through local business. Read it for inspiration, both practical and spiritual: it gives you ideas to use and adapt elsewhere if youre in the sub-field or want to join it. And, most of all, it gives us hope that all is not lost. William R. Duggan, Columbia University, USA Entrepreneurship and Sustainability challenges the notion that not-for-profit social entrepreneurship is the only sort that can lead to the alleviation of poverty. It explores how to bring commercial investors together with those who are best placed to reach the poorest customers. With case studies from around the world, the focus of the contributions is on the new breed of entrepreneurs who are blending a profit motive with a desire to make a difference in their communities and beyond borders. A significant number of the contributions here also recognize that although much research has been devoted to the issue of poverty alleviation and to struggles in developing countries, this is only part of the story. This book also focuses upon enterprise solutions to poverty in pockets of significant deprivation in high-income countries, such as in the US, in parts of Europe, and the richer Asian countries.

Finance and Society in 21st Century China


Chinese Culture versus Western Markets
Junie T. Tong, Centre for Teaching in Management, UK
Transformation and Innovation

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.

Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Business Competitiveness


The Fragility of Interdependence
Dimitris N. Chorafas
Dimitris Chorafas once again demonstrates the profound breadth and depth of his intellect as he brings to bear his years of expertise as a technical innovator and business leader on the most pressing problems facing humanity today energy production and environmental preservation in the face of overpopulation. This is a clarion call to action reviving the themes from the 1972 classic, Limits to Growth. C. Dianne Martin, George Washington University, USA Dimitris Chorafas reviews Europe, America and Asias energy needs in the coming decade, pointing out that current policies are inadequate at best, and more likely disastrous for the economy. Governments persist in having their own agenda and priorities as well as plenty of constraints and taboos, yet when he critically examines the challenges Chorafas concludes that no government can solve all current energy problems by acting alone. The book confronts current thinking, and its after-effect on policies and practices. Readers accustomed to mainstream books and articles which blame fossil fuels for a deteriorating world environment will find this a contrary opinion.

Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions


Concepts, Issues and Cases
Edited by Willie Siyanbola, Abiodun Egbetokun, Boladale Abiola Adebowale and Olumuyiwa Olamade
Developing countries need a much deeper understanding of the process through which technology flows towards them, the way it is acquired and mastered, and its impacts in their domestic economies. They also need to rethink, redesign and upgrade their key science, technology and innovation institutions with a view to improve their effectiveness and efficiency, incorporating best practices from both developed and developing countries. This book goes a long way in this direction, and is edited by some of the most promising scholars from Nigeria. The book is highly recommended. Jorge Niosi, University of Qubec at Montreal, Canada Much of what we know about innovation theory and systems has come from the developed countries and reflects their world view. Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions adds to the growing body of knowledge about innovation and innovation systems in developing countries. The case studies presented here advance the notion that, while developing countries may not engage in frontier research, a critical knowledge base from which these countries compete in global markets is emerging. State and non-state actors are increasingly emphasising policies that sit within the framework of national innovation systems. This book illuminates this shift in policy competence at national levels. It also provides empirical evidence on the drivers, dynamics and impact of diffusion-based innovation linked to technology transfer and acquisition in developing economies, and the constraints that apply.

Female Immigrant Entrepreneurs


The Economic and Social Impact of a Global Phenomenon
Edited by Daphne Halkias, University of California, USA, Paul Thurman, Columbia University, USA, Nicholas Harkiolakis, National Metsovio Polytechnic University, Greece and Sylva M. Caracatsanis, University of Exeter, UK
This pioneering, truly global collection of fieldworkbased studies fills a very significant gap in the literature on immigrant entrepreneurship. Not only has the role of female entrepreneurs been largely neglected in this literature; the range of cases examined has been extremely narrow. The volume delivers a wealth of empirical evidence on how female immigrant entrepreneurs actually start and operate small businesses, and how their activities contribute more broadly to immigrant economic incorporation. This book is a model of research in comparative immigration studies. Wayne Cornelius, University of California, USA Written by a team of researchers based in prestigious business schools and universities on almost every continent, this important book begins the process of discovering why and how female driven business startups often seem to spontaneously emerge in adverse environments. Is it randomness, luck, or chance that determines success or failure, or vital critical forces and the inherent qualities of the women involved? The research emerging from the Female Immigrant Entrepreneurship (FIE) project discusses the integration of immigrant communities, their interaction with host economic and business environments, and the role of women in that interaction.

The Indian Army, 193947


Experience and Development
Edited by Alan Jeffreys, The Imperial War Museum, UK and Patrick Rose, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, UK
The Indian Army, 1939-47 is an excellent book which is a must-read for historians of the Second World War and the British Empire. It also contains much food for thought for those concerned with doctrine, training and military culture. It deserves a wider readership than just its core audience. RUSI Journal This volume examines the Indian Army between the outbreak of war in 1939 and the partition of India in 1947. With contributions from many of those at the forefront of the study of the Indian Army and Commonwealth history, the book makes a substantial contribution to a range of subjects, from the Indian Armys participation in the Second World War, to the evolution of wartime training, frontier operations, and its role in the development of post-war counterinsurgency practice. The volume concludes with several chapters examining the impact and legacy of Partition in 1947.

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.

Food and War in Mid-TwentiethCentury East Asia


Edited by Katarzyna J. Cwiertka, Leiden University, The Netherlands
War has been both an agent of destruction and a catalyst for innovation. These two, at first sight contradictory, yet mutually constitutive outcomes of war-waging are particularly pronounced in twentieth-century Asia. The disarray of war may halt economic activities and render many aspects of life insignificant but the need for food cannot be ignored and the social action that it requires continues in all circumstances. This book documents the effects of war on the lives of ordinary people through the investigation of a variety of connections that developed between war-waging and the production, distribution, preparation and consumption of food throughout Asia since the 1930s.

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.

The Spiritual Expansion of Medieval Latin Christendom: The Asian Missions


Edited by James D. Ryan, City University of New York, USA
The Expansion of Latin Europe, 1000-1500

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.

Studies on Sufism in Central Asia


Devin DeWeese, Indiana University, USA
Variorum Collected Studies Series: CS1017

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.

Religion and Philosophy


Critical Buddhism
Engaging with Modern Japanese Buddhist Thought
James Mark Shields, Bucknell University, USA
Anyone interested in Buddhism, philosophy, or comparative religious ethics will relish this important book...After analysing how critical Buddhists reject topicalism in Japanese Buddhism and advocate criticalism, Shields explores the ethical issues on which they have focused and then draws skillfully on Levinas, Gadamer, Rorty, and other philosophers to expand and reposition Critical Buddhism. Christopher Ives, Stonehill College, USA Providing a critical and constructive analysis of Critical Buddhism, particularly the epistemological categories of critica and topica, this book examines contemporary theories of knowledge and ethics in order to situate Critical Buddhism within modern Japanese and Buddhist thought as well as in relation to current trends in contemporary Western thought.

Resisting Violence and Victimisation


Christian Faith and Solidarity in East Timor
Joel Hodge, Australian Catholic University
This is cutting edge stuff. Joel Hodge is a pioneer in a new understanding of Church, of Eucharist and of our relationship to our own violence. In Resisting Violence he models for us how the paradigm shift enabled by Girards insights can yield a richer and more three-dimensional account of the Christian faith. James Alison, Catholic priest and theologian This book seeks a deeper understanding of faith and violence, exploring how Christian faith and solidarity affected the hope and resistance of the East Timorese under Indonesian occupation in their response to state-sanctioned violence. Grounded in the work of mimetic theorist Ren Girard, Hodge contends that the experience of victimisation in East Timor led to an important identification with Jesus Christ as self-giving victim and formed a distinctive communal and ecclesial solidarity. Presenting the East Timorese stories under occupation and Girards insights in dialogue, this book offers fresh perspectives on the Christian Churchs ecclesiology and mission.

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.

Jataka Stories in Theravada Buddhism


Narrating the Bodhisatta Path
Naomi Appleton, University of Edinburgh, UK
This study is a solid contribution to an important topic in the history of Buddhist literature and is a necessary reading for specialists. Religious Studies Review Jataka stories (stories about the previous births of the Buddha) are very popular in Theravada Buddhist countries, where they are commonly used in sermons, childrens books, plays, poetry, temple illustrations, rituals and festivals. Buddhist tradition tells us that the stories illustrate the gradual path to perfection exemplified by the Buddha in his previous births, when he was a bodhisatta (buddha-to-be). This book explores the shifting role of the stories in Buddhist doctrine, practice and creative expression, finally placing this integral Buddhist genre back in the centre of scholarly understandings of the religion.

Exploring the Bhagavad Gita


Philosophy, Structure and Meaning
Ithamar Theodor, University of Haifa, Israel
Prize: Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award for 2011 This is potentially one of the most significant books to emerge in recent times on how to read the Gita, for it provides a clear way forward to make coherent sense of one of the most important yet methodologically intractable texts of religious Hinduism. I found this book an illumining experience. Julius Lipner, University of Cambridge, UK This careful study of the Bhagavad Gita approaches the ancient text with a modern mind and offers a unifying structure which is of a universal relevance. Combining the philosophical-theoretical with the ethical-practical, Ithamar Theodor locates his study within comparative theology and identifies the various layers of meaning. The full text of the Bhagavad Gita is presented in new translation, divided into sections, and accompanied by depth commentary. This book makes the Bhagavad Gita accessible to a wide variety of readers, helping to make sense of this great spiritual classic which is one of the most important texts of religious Hinduism.

Music

SERIES
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.

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.
