Free Download John Heathershaw, "Post-Conflict Tajikistan: The politics of peacebuilding and the emergence of legitimate order"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0415484030 | EPUB | pages: 236 | 1.0 mb
Post-Soviet, post-conflict Tajikistan is an under-studied and poorly understood case in conflict studies literature. Since 2000, this Central Asian state has seen major political violence end, countrywide order emerge and the peace agreement between the parties of the 1990s civil war hold. Superficially, Tajikistan appears to be a case of successful international intervention for liberal peacebuilding, yet the Tajik peace is characterised by authoritarian governance.

English | 2017 | ISBN: 0367172658 | EPUB | pages: 178 | 0.3 mb
The rise of popular politics is among one the most significant social and political developments the People’s Republic of China has witnessed in the post-Mao era. People from all walks of life have responded to rising inequalities and the privatization of collective goods with a new quest for justice. Although China has remained a censorial society under the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party, state-society relations are being remade by interventions of emergent publics through word and action.

Free Download MarcD. Guerra, "Pope Benedict XVI and the Politics of Modernity"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1032929308 | EPUB | pages: 164 | 0.3 mb
In Benedict XVI and the Politics of Modernity, distinguished scholars from North America and Europe examine Pope Benedict XVI’s searching reflections on the challenges and prospects facing modern Western society. For more than five decades, Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI has made the subject of the continued health and vitality of Western civilization a focal point of his reflections. From his early (1968) Introduction to Christianity to his later (2005) Values in a Time of Upheaval, the Pope has argued that the preservation of the social, political, scientific, and spiritual way of life that characterizes modern Western societies hinges upon our rediscovery of the unique roots and distinctive nature of Western civilization.

Continued political and economic turbulence, pervasive threats of terrorism and climate change: 2015 was a testing year.

The pressures of government resulted in Malcolm Turnbull ousting Tony Abbott to become the country’s fifth prime minister in five years. Will this prove to be a case of history repeating itself, or a turning point?

Free Download Stephanie Brookes, "Politics, Media and Campaign Language: Australia’s Identity Anxiety"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1783085010, 1785272462 | EPUB | pages: 228 | 0.6 mb
Politics, Media and Campaign Language’ is an original, groundbreaking analysis of the story of Australian identity, told in Australian election campaign language. Stephanie Brookes argues that the story of Australian identity is characterized by recurring cycles of anxiety and reassurance, which betray a deep underlying feeling of insecurity. Introducing the concept of ‘identity security’, the book focuses on electoral language and demonstrates that election campaigns provide a valuable window into an overlooked part of Australia’s political and cultural history. ‘Politics, Media and Campaign Language’ reclaims Australian campaign speech and electoral history to tell the story of changing national values and priorities, and traces the contours of collective conversations about national identity.

Despite occupying a central role and frequently being used in the study of international politics, the concept of the "event" remains in many ways unchallenged and unexplored. By combining the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and his concept of the event with the example of 9/11 as an historical event, this book problematises the role and meaning of "events" in international politics.
