'Going Native' Settler Colonialism and Food (Food and Identity in a Globalising World)

'Going Native' Settler Colonialism and Food (Food and Identity in a Globalising World)
'Going Native?': Settler Colonialism and Food (Food and Identity in a Globalising World)
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030962679 | 372 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This volume offers a comparative survey of diverse settler colonial experiences in relation to food, food culture and foodways - how the latter are constructed, maintained, revolutionised and, in some cases, dissolved. What do settler colonial foodways and food cultures look like? Are they based on an imagined colonial heritage, do they embrace indigenous repertoires or invent new hybridised foodscapes? What are the socio-economic and political dynamics of these cultural transformations? In particular, this volume focuses on three key issues: the evolution of settler colonial identities and states; their relations vis-à-vis indigenous populations; and settlers' self-indigenisation - the process through which settlers transform themselves into the native population, at least in their own eyes. These three key issues are crucial in understanding settler-indigenous relations and the rise of settler colonial identities and states.

When Victory Is Not an Option Islamist Movements in Arab Politics

When Victory Is Not an Option Islamist Movements in Arab Politics
Nathan J. Brown, "When Victory Is Not an Option: Islamist Movements in Arab Politics"
English | 2012 | pages: 273 | ISBN: 0801477727, 0801450365 | PDF | 1,0 mb
Throughout the Arab world, Islamist political movements are joining the electoral process. This change alarms some observers and excites other. In recent years, electoral opportunities have opened, and Islamist movements have seized them. But those opportunities, while real, have also been sharply circumscribed. Elections may be freer, but they are not fair. The opposition can run but it generally cannot win. Semiauthoritarian conditions prevail in much of the Arab world, even in the wake of the Arab Spring. How do Islamist movements change when they plunge into freer but unfair elections? How do their organizations (such as the Muslim Brotherhood) and structures evolve? What happens to their core ideological principles? And how might their increased involvement affect the political system?

Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies The Need to Prioritise Human Development

Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies The Need to Prioritise Human Development
Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies: The Need to Prioritise Human Development
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032149051 | 125 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
Economic growth is generally regarded by governments and most ordinary people as a panacea for all problems, including issues caused by the COVID pandemic. But this raises an important question: is further growth in advanced economies able to increase well-being once people's basic subsistence needs are met? Some advanced market economies, e.g. the United States, have exhibited a decline in well-being, both subjectively and objectively measured, over several decades despite seeing economic growth during the same period.

Weapons under International Human Rights Law

Weapons under International Human Rights Law
Stuart Casey-Maslen, "Weapons under International Human Rights Law"
English | 2014 | pages: 684 | ISBN: 110702787X, 1107538068 | PDF | 4,8 mb
International human rights law offers an overarching international legal framework to help determine the legality of the use of any weapon, as well as its lawful supply. It governs acts of States and non-State actors alike. In doing so, human rights law embraces international humanitarian law regulation of the use of weapons in armed conflict and disarmament law, as well as international criminal justice standards. In situations of law enforcement (such as counterpiracy, prisons, ordinary policing, riot control, and many peace operations), human rights law is the primary legal frame of reference above domestic criminal law. This important and timely book draws on all aspects of international weapons law and proposes a new view on international law governing weapons. Also included is a specific discussion on armed drones and cyberattacks, two highly topical issues in international law and international relations.
