Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Business is at a sustainability crossroads. There is pressure from some shareholders and elected politicians to dial back on environmental and social issues, sustainability being 'too woke' and a constraint on economic growth. However, th…ere are competing pressures that mean that these same issues are now increasingly material to the bottom line; businesses ignore them at their peril as they threaten the true longer-term value of the company.This book sets out the case for the 'Sustainability of Sustainability'. There is compelling evidence from underlying trends in finance, trade and technology that shows that there is a sustainability bedrock, beyond which it cannot be pushed back. That bedrock is not too deep, and so a course correction is coming. Businesses should be investing now in core sustainability to be ready for the new, more durable sustainability to come.Morrison argues that while sustainability is already perceived by many as an orthodoxy, it has yet to secure the legitimacy and trust required to deliver real and lasting change.The book is for anyone who is curious about why. when and how sustainability will re-emerge and how best to prepare for its homecoming. There is a big opportunity: we will lose a lot of the fluff, green-washing, and noise and build a stronger and more meaningful version of sustainability as we do. The book helps any business manager, policy-maker or community leader find their sustainability bedrock and to build upon solid foundations. 341 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book traces the existence and potential of two concepts rarely considered together: Blackness and World Languages. Each chapter begins with a vignette illustrating how the phenomenon of Black World Languaging has manifested in the au…thor's life. Layering on fresh data to existing research, Austin unpacks the ways that World Languages constructs barriers both to humanizing and Black language practices, or Black World Languaging, despite the latter s alignment with what is called for by national foreign language standards. Each chapter then concludes with reflection questions for various stakeholders across language education. The book will be relevant to language teachers and learners, as well as students and researchers in fields including teacher education, language education, world languages, language policy, and sociolinguistics. 121 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines apparently dichotomous aspects of Gaskell s short stories: her failed fathers and her travel writing. The analysis links these themes by examining the ways in which Gaskell used a complex mix of unstable cultural ideas…to demonstrate the fragility of home and family life and to challenge gendered norms.The analysis of Gaskell s fictional fathers is considered in the context of nineteenth-century debates about the role of fathers within the home. Fathers in Gaskell s stories are presented as a disruptive force, breaking rather than creating a stable, secure family environment. Their behaviour becomes a motivator for travel as an escape from home. Travel also posed a transgressive challenge to the domestic environment and to gendered norms. Women travel writers were particularly vulnerable to accusations of exaggeration and falsehood. By incorporating themes of travel into her fiction, Gaskell was able to produce texts that are arguably richer than more straightforward travel accounts. In the texts discussed, Gaskell explores the ways in which travel, whether undertaken willingly or reluctantly, requires women to negotiate a physical, geographical and emotional space.The short stories examined in this book illustrate Gaskell s narrative hybridity and the ways in which her creative synthesis allows her to subtly challenge existing social and cultural hegemonies. Above all, the texts show her consistent resistance to patriarchal control and her commitment to a more equal and fluid society centred on home and the family. 129 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Whilst much has been written on the macro- and meso-dimensions of policy design, far less attention has been given to the ways in which specific policy goals, objectives, and instruments are applied in reality. This book addresses this im…portant oversight by examining the micro-dimension of policy design.The open access book highlights how the micro-dimension of policy design consists of two important components specifications and calibrations. These components are crucial in translating policy goals into tangible outcomes. By focusing more closely on the micro-dimension of policy design, the book puts forward an important new framework to enable practitioners, analysts and decision makers to design better policies and attain policy success. It also helps us to better understand the reasons behind political conflicts in policymaking. It will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, public administration and public management, as well as practitioners. 126 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book offers a profound exploration of Bracha L. Ettinger's theory of the matrixial borderspace through the lens of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic teachings. By situating Ettinger s work within a Lacanian context, this vol…ume illuminates the intricate interplay between psychoanalysis, sexuality, and the concept of the m/Other. Too often, Ettinger's contributions are examined in isolation, missing the critical Lacanian underpinnings that inform her scholarship and art practice.Key concepts such as the matrixial borderspace, feminine sexuality, and the m/Other are meticulously analyzed alongside Lacan s archetypes of Tiresias, Dora, Lol Stein, and Antigone. Ettinger s critiques and modifications of Lacanian ideas, including the weaning complex, das Ding, the phallus, and the Real, are explored to reveal the nuanced dialogue between these two influential thinkers. This comparative study not only highlights the contiguities and critical differences between their theories but also enhances our understanding of the Feminine and the m/Other.Scholars of psychoanalysis, gender studies, and philosophy will find this book an invaluable resource. It invites readers to engage deeply with the complexities of Ettinger and Lacan s theories, offering fresh insights into the enduring questions of feminine sexuality and identity. 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a groundbreaking moral analysis of the metaphysical empire a concept that captures the lingering cultural and intellectual dominance of colonialism in postcolonial Africa. Drawing on African philosophy and ethics, Frank A…ragbonfoh Abumere examines how colonial legacies continue to shape identity, culture, and thought, often in ways that are morally problematic. Rather than viewing the metaphysical empire solely through political or metaphysical lenses, Abumere approaches it as a moral phenomenon, evaluating whether it is ethically acceptable, reprehensible, or neutral. Through a nuanced exploration of African cultural identity, colonialism s enduring legacy, and the contested meanings of decolonization, the book challenges readers to reconsider the moral dimensions of cultural interaction and appropriation. It engages with both critics and defenders of the metaphysical empire, ultimately asking whether decolonization is a moral obligation or an unnecessary pursuit. This timely and thought-provoking work contributes to African philosophy, postcolonial theory, and decolonization studies, offering fresh insights into the ethics of empire and cultural transformation. 215 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the history of the demographics of Cameroon, a country with more than 250 ethnic groups interacting together. It examines the geographical and historical context of ethnic distribution and the advent of urban centres in… Cameroon. These ethnic groups have a complex history reflecting their multifaceted culture and this work examines the 'melting pot' of ethnic diversity in present-day Cameroon s urban centres which dates back to the missionary, colonial, and post-colonial eras.Within these periods, people migrated to urban centres of Limbe, Douala, Yaounde, Maroua, Garoua, etc., for political, economic, and social reasons. This book demonstrates that once Cameroon gained its independence and reunified, the situation grew more complicated. Urban centres gradually became an El Dorado to the immigrants from all the corners of the country, thus promoting the spirit of ethnic melting and national unity. Legislation put into place, in addition to other factors, promoted ethnic mixing as an attempt to promote national unity and integration. However, this phenomenon witnessed in these urban centres could not be attained without challenges, and solutions are the main issues in the present study. 128 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nostalgia, Fantasy, and the Futures of Masculinity explores how nostalgia-driven fantasies shape contemporary masculinity and capitalist culture, and how these dynamics constrain our ability to imagine new futures. Drawing on Lacanian psy…choanalysis, cultural theory, and media studies, Timothy Richardson examines the ideological and affective structures that link masculinity to mythic pasts and deferred promises of progress.Through case studies of music archives, fan cultures, and iconic films such as Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Ex Machina, the book reveals how popular media recycles familiar tropes to sustain capitalist discourse and masculine ideals. Richardson argues that these nostalgic scripts not only naturalize gender norms but also perpetuate cycles of consumption and stasis, even as they promise novelty.Foregrounding Lacanian concepts of fantasy, desire, and the capitalist discourse, this monograph offers a critical intervention into debates on gender, temporality, and ideology. It combines rigorous theoretical analysis with accessible prose, making it essential reading for scholars and advanced students in psychoanalytic theory, cultural studies, gender studies, and media studies. 202 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Evolution of the Jola Ethnic Group traces how globalization, imperial formations, religious movements, and postcolonial state making have reshaped Jola/Diola communities in Foni and Casamance across Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea Bis…sau. Combining international relations, comparative politics, and political anthropology, the book links ritual life (initiation, masquerade, music), agrarian economies, migration, and gender to conflict dynamics, authoritarian rule, elections, and human rights. It situates Jola history within the rise of regional empires, the trans Atlantic slave trade and resulting depopulation, and French and British colonial policies that imposed borders and reconfigured local institutions. The study reconstructs egalitarian, acephalous forms of authority; examines responses to Christian missions and Islamic jihad; and explains how many Jola selectively integrate new religious practices with longstanding traditions. It offers a sustained account of the Casamance rebellion and its humanitarian consequences, and traces the emergence of Jola actors in national politics in Senegal and The Gambia. A dedicated chapter analyzes the 2016 Gambian presidential election using original survey evidence and multinomial logistic regression to weigh economic evaluations, ethnicity, and human rights concerns in voter choice. With a glossary and an ethics note on consent and permissions, the volume provides a source rich, teaching ready contribution for scholars and graduate students in international studies, African politics, political anthropology, and the study of religion. 169 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book critically examines recent interpretations of the Roman poet Lucretius by contemporary materialists. Inspired by his vision of matter in motion and the generativity of nature, political theorists, literary scholars and process p…hilosophers today attribute ideas to Lucretius that anticipate their own innovative work in their respective fields. What should we make of this phenomenon Why does Lucretius feature so prominently in recent materialisms, and what justifies treating him as a precursor or ancient double The New Lucretians, Contemporary Materialism and Historical Methodfocuses on four thinkers Vittorio Morfino, Jacques Lezra, Jane Bennett, and Thomas Nail and places them in a genealogy of interpreters going back over a century in spiritualist philosophy, poststructuralism, Marxism, and science studies. It also reflects on questions of historical method, testing how well various historiographic approaches fit their work and justify their use of Lucretius. These include approaches the new Lucretians explicitly endorse such as radical ideas about nonlinear history and translation and others that they do not such as Straussian reading between the lines, motivated reasoning, analytic rational reconstruction, and creative experimentation with canons of philosophical heroes.It is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students interested in forging links between contemporary and ancient philosophy and balancing the risks of that endeavour with its promises. 207 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -W.H. Auden once remarked that the complete uvreof Jean Cocteau could fill a warehouse. Over the course of his life, Cocteau produced an impressive range of works, ranging from poems, plays, films, and novels to drawings, sculptures, stain…ed-glass windows, and interior design. His mind was brimful of imagination and wonder, drawing on tropes, themes, and iconography from Greek myth and tragedy to medieval folklore, children s fairy tales, and the experimental movements of the Interwar Years, while always channelling into his work an idiosyncratic desire to express the beauty of poetic experience. The World of Jean Cocteau: Beautiful, Elusive, Uninhabitableargues, with reference to a comprehensive body of his work and anecdotes of his life, that the world of this great polymath sits on the precipice of something otherworldly. His work and life perpetually elude us, and his individuality points to a desire to strive for something greater, and to inhabit a realm found somewhere between the known and unknown, material and spiritual, finite and infinite. 223 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a timely and original exploration of how queer humour shapes cultural identity within Taiwan s digital media landscape. Focusing on language, sexuality and performance, it examines humour as a form of resistance, connecti…on and creativity across online queer spaces. Drawing on data from YouTube, Grindr and X/Twitter, it investigates how gay Taiwanese men use humour to negotiate visibility, articulate desire and respond to exclusion. Through drag queens mediatised interactions, YouTubers everyday expertise in sex and sexuality, dating app profiles and X/Twitter posts by erotic content creators, humour emerges not merely as entertainment but as a vital sociolinguistic strategy. These playful performances are deeply rooted in local language varieties and actively challenge dominant gender norms and heteronormative expectations. While humour serves as the book s central analytical lens, it also engages a wide range of sociolinguistic phenomena, including narrative construction, indexicality, register variation, metaphor, indirectness, punning, code-mixing, self-deprecation, ironic politeness and stylised registers such as wúlítóu nonsense. These strategies are analysed to show how gay Taiwanese men craft voice, negotiate authenticity and build digital intimacy across genres and platforms. In doing so, the book draws on insights from fields including queer linguistics, humour studies, digital discourse analysis and East Asian cultural studies. 299 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how the representation of objects, specifically dead bodies, functions as the motivating force of hardboiled detective fiction narratives. Conducting a semi-interactive autopsy into the body in and of the genre, the aut…hor deploys several theoretical frames including narratology, body-as-text theory, object theory, reader-response theory, formalism, and genre theory to demonstrate the significance of objects, symbols, and things in narrative. While primarily focusing on the works of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, the book references lesser-known accomplices. Chapters outline the experience of reading and writing objects as a narrative compulsion, facilitated and exemplified by the figure of a private eye as they endeavor to plausibly recreate and solve the crime, reanimating the inanimate thing on the floor through storytelling and reclaiming their own integrity and agency by asserting authority over conflicting versions of the facts. 297 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the recurrent instability of Guinea Bissau by shifting attention from party politics to the cultural frameworks that shape political ideas. It argues that locally embedded understandings centered on the phenomenon of sp…irit children (criança irân) inform how the country s political community is imagined, who counts as a political actor, and how exclusion is normalized within the political order. The book challenges liberal assumptions about personhood, rationality, and citizenship, and advances an analysis of ontological pluralism in political life. The book positions the Bissau Guinean state as an artifice in which formal institutional canons intersect with customary norms to produce a hybrid political space characteristic of postcolonial governance. This institutional ideational mismatch helps explain recurrent unrest and governance fragility in Guinea Bissau and resonates with dynamics in other West African and postcolonial contexts where state formation, belief systems, and political authority remain unevenly aligned.Combining comparative political theory with African philosophy of the human, the book offers a decentered, decolonial account of power that prioritizes non conventional practices as political affairs. It contributes to debates in African politics, political anthropology, political philosophy, and postcolonial studies on state society relations, institutional hybridity, and the ontology of personhood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with governance in fragile states, the limits of liberal institutionalism, political ideas, and the role of cosmology, belief, and customary authority in contemporary African political orders. 204 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores how the Anancy tales have been reinvented at critical political junctures to speak to identity and heritage. In her monograph, Natalie Lucy considers the influence of an Anancy aesthetic on the writing of British author…s with Caribbean heritage. Originating in the Caribbean versions of the Anancy tales, the aesthetic focuses both on the symbolism of the eponymous trickster character, the liminal, brazen and malleable Anancy who offered a device to push against traditional, Eurocentric storytelling styles, and the multisensory aspects of the tales. The stories offered a distinct, fortifying language on the plantations and a fundamental featureof the Anancy aesthetic is its themes of identity and heritage. Its impact is prominent in the writing of the Caribbean Artists Movement when debating a Caribbean voice in the 1960s, but also emerges in the writing of Second Generation authors, including Alex Wheatle and Andrea Levy. Most interesting, features of the tales appear in a diverse panoply of cultural traditions, which, while distinctly Caribbean are now intertwined with ideas of Britishness .Part literary biography, Lucy has built upon archival research and interviews, as she follows Anancy s historical path to trace the multifarious ways he has been shaped by the circumstances of his reinvention. A key question is how and why the Anancy tales continue to provide inspiration for myriad transnational writers, not only through a multisensory style of storytelling but in centralising themes of resistance, heritage and voice. 241 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Examining the emergence of international public health policy between the 1930s and 80s, this book sheds light on the role that rural community health initiatives in South and Southeast Asia played in the movement towards primary health c…are and health for all, articulated ultimately at the 1978 International Conference on Primary Health Care in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. The author argues that the movement was not directed exclusively from the headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, but also by institutions such as the Rockefeller Foundation s International Health Division in rural Southeast Asia, and through local community initiatives including the Bandung Plan for Health in Indonesia. The book illustrates how an exclusive association of global health with the emergence of the WHO in the 1950s fails to account for the local, national, or regional contexts that shaped the evolution of primary health care in South and Southeast Asia. 313 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Similar to banking systems worldwide and driven by geopolitical pressures, the banking systems in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region face many significant challenges, especially in the wake of the 2007-09 credit crunch, the decline… in oil prices in 2014, and the post-2011 unsettled political landscape in the wider Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. These challenges include deregulation concerning the establishment, operation, and supervision of credit institutions; the accelerating improvements in computer and telecommunication technologies and Fintech structure; and growing competition from global and domestic banks. Moreover, the future expansion within the GCC banking sector due to the national governments' demonstrated commitment to implementing economic diversification strategies which favour the development of non-government sectors will present further opportunities to the domestic financial institutions as well as place greater pressure on them to boost efficiency and stability, as well as improve their competitive stanceAgainst this background, the banking systems in the GCC region have witnessed a fundamental transformation over the last two decades, which the book discusses using a panel data analysis framework. In addition to the formidable record of growth of Islamic banking, the banking sectors have been involved in several dramatic changes driven by technological disruption (and fintech), economic growth, and various other geopolitical factors. Even though the countries of the GCC are among the largest economy and most open economies in the MENA region, and although the region has experienced economic policy stability through the continuous use of the pegged-to-the-USD exchange rate regime, the structure of the banking systems tend to show some imbalances. The book will address the questions raised regarding the role of banks in the economy, how managers generate value for the owners, and how recent developments have affected the structural trends in the sector, and will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, and students of banking and Islamic finance. 310 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how the European bank recovery and resolution framework shapes bank governance and decision making, and how a clear and credible institutional regime for bank failure can strengthen banks resilience. It analyses the eff…ects of the current resolution framework on bank governance by focusing on the ex ante expectations it creates for bank decision makers. Addressing a gap in the literature, the book shows how the new resolution regime for ailing banks has the potential to improve both the quality of bank governance and institutional resilience. However, the analysis reveals that such a potential is not fully exploited because of the complexity and the lack of credibility of the resolution framework. Finally, it identifies areas for further regulatory intervention, particularly in fine tuning debt governance within the resolution framework, with a view to further enhancing bank governance. The book will be of interest to scholars, instructors, and policymakers working in financial regulation, banking regulation, and financial law. 361 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores how war is changing in ways the world has never seen. It shows how conflict is shifting from tanks and bombs to phones, apps, algorithms, and even human thoughts. The author examines the strategies of the United States,… China, and Russia, revealing how each power combines history, technology, and civilizational logic to shape modern warfare. While the US uses AI, data, and digital platforms to influence global networks, China blends technology with media and psychological control to shape international narratives, and Russia employs information tactics and digital strategies to confuse and divide opponents. What began as propaganda is now brain engineering, where technology can predict actions, influence decisions, and manipulate emotions. This book is essential for anyone interested in the genealogy of global conflict, digital power, cognitive warfare, and technology-driven strategy. It equips readers from tech enthusiasts to academics and policymakers with the tools to understand the future of power, influence, and human freedom. 480 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the history of the Flat Earth idea and its advocates to determine what the political dimensions inherent to the idea of a Flat Earth are. For thousands of years, the belief that the Earth is flat has been a minority vie…w expressed by those who are necessarily opposed to the worldviews of the hegemonic scientific, cultural, and political institutions of their time, across various contexts. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the most prominent of those institutions were the British Empire and United States, which viewed science as integral to their nations and empire-building programs. As such, to those who opposed the projects of those countries White and Black alike the idea of a Flat Earth was a useful ideology that became combined with anti-colonial and anti-racist advocacy across the Atlantic. This is an approach that has been almost entirely absent from academic research not only of the Flat Earth movement, but of anti-colonialism as well. 368 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -International Relations and Feminisms: Latin American Voices in a Global Debatebrings together the voices and experiences of scholars working in Latin American International Relations and offers a timely and critical intervention in a cen…tral debate shaping contemporary International Relations scholarship. From diverse feminist perspectives, the volume challenges the discipline s traditional assumptions and expands how global politics, power, and security are understood. Moving beyond Eurocentric and state-centric frameworks, the book foregrounds voices, experiences, and knowledges that have long been marginalised. Through theoretically informed and empirically grounded chapters, it demonstrates how feminist approaches reveal the gendered foundations of international politics and reshape core concepts such as sovereignty, diplomacy, security, and global governance.Engaging with intersectional, postcolonial, and decolonial debates, the volume speaks to scholars, students, and practitioners seeking inclusive and reflexive tools to analyse world politics, positioning Latin American feminism as a central lens for understanding and transforming International Relations. 291 pp. Englisch.
