During the eventful summer of 2019 in Hong Kong, the Be Water Revolution formed to resist the proposed extradition of fugitives to mainland China’s courts. Be Water seeks to understand the rise and long afterlife of this movement and illustrate its efficacy. Ho shows these dynamics of collective improvisation have implications for contemporary protest movements around the world.

Rethinking Asia and International Relations

East Asia is shaped as much by identity-based dynamics as by material forces. This book examines how the evolving state identities of China and Japan have interacted with the regional order and its prospects for both cooperation and conflict.While identity-based dynamics have long been recognised as enduring features by observers of East Asia, conventional accounts often emphasise the absence of a shared identity, persistent historical grievances, and nationalism-fuelled territorial disputes-particularly between China and Japan-as key obstacles to regional cooperation. This volume instead offers a state identity politics approach that moves beyond viewing the 'ghosts of the past' as fixed constraints. It focuses on how domestic actors in both countries construct and mobilise state identities, how domestic politics interact with international relations, and how these identities shape regional order. Through analysis of China's and Japan's evolving approaches to key post-Cold War regional initiatives, the author demonstrates why state identity politics is vital to understanding Sino-Japanese relations and broader regional dynamics in East Asia.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian politics, Sino-Japanese relations, diplomatic studies, and domestic-international interactions, as well as policymakers engaged in these fields.

First published in 1981, The British Business Elite is a study of the attitudes to class, status and power of top businessmen in Great Britain, based upon first-hand interviews with chairmen, chief executives and other directors of Britain's largest industrial, banking and insurance companies: men of genuine wealth and power.

First published in 1982, Professional Power and Social Welfare examines the nature, extent and significance of professional power in the broad area of social welfare. Paul Wilding fills a major gap in the literature of the welfare professions. He looks at the power of the professions in policymaking, in resource allocation, their power over people, their power to define needs and problems, and their limited accountability. He analyses the basis of this power, and reviews criticism of the claims, achievements, knowledge and ideals of the professions. His conclusion is that the only satisfactory relationship between professions, clients and society must be one of partnership: a balance of professional, political, bureaucratic and consumer power. This book will be of interest to students of sociology and political science.

Schluss mit der Empörungslogik - wie wir unsere Demokratie verteidigen und Frustration in mutige Politik verwandelnDie Demokratie steht unter Druck - doch Rückzug ist für Rasha Nasr, die junge&nbsp;SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete&nbsp;aus Dresden, keine Option. In ihrem Bericht aus dem Maschinenraum des parlamentarischen Alltags rechnet sie mit der Berliner&nbsp;Talkshow-Logik&nbsp;ab und fordert eine Rückkehr zur Substanz.Nasr macht deutlich, dass in der heutigen Politik zu oft darüber geredet wird, was brennt, während niemand darüber spricht, was trägt. Rechte Erzählungen gewinnen nicht, weil sie wahr sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind. Statt sich hinter Sachzwängen zu verstecken, tritt die Autorin in ihrer leidenschaftlichen&nbsp;Streitschrift&nbsp;für klare Prioritäten und echte&nbsp;Verantwortung&nbsp;ein - fernab von Identitätsdebatten. Sie beweist, dass Demokratie keine Komfortzone ist, sondern den&nbsp;Mut&nbsp;erfordert, unperfekte Kompromisse mit&nbsp;Haltung&nbsp;zu vertreten und Konflikte ohne Feindschaft auszuhalten.'Verantwortung heißt bleiben' ist ein persönliches und kämpferisches Buch, das Wut konstruktiv in politischen Mut übersetzt. Ein starkes Plädoyer für Menschen, die Haltung zeigen wollen und sich für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, soziale Sicherheit und Freiheit einsetzen - und ein authentisches Vorbild dafür, unsere Demokratie aktiv zu verteidigen.

Diverse Voices in Intellectual Property Law

Routledge Studies in Political Sociology

This book develops and applies the theory of lethal moralism to explain the different types and growth of terrorism over the last half-century, from 1970 to 2020.Drawing on data from the Global Terrorism Database, supplemented with original research differentiating groups based on their ideological orientations, it delves into the social and cultural forces that influence those who engage in terrorism, including the dynamic processes of "othering" that produce the social polarization crucial for understanding why some groups resort to lethal violence to handle their grievances. It systematically applies the theory of lethal moralism to explain the main types of terrorism rooted in different ideological frameworks, including left-wing terrorism, nationalist and separatist movements, religious terrorism (including a separate chapter on radical Islam), and right-wing extremism and hate groups.As a theoretically informed study of the main varieties of terrorism and the evolution of terrorism in the digital age, Terrorism as Moralistic Violence will appeal to scholars of sociology, criminology, social theory, and politics with interests in political violence and terrorist movements.

An Integrated Theory of Terrorism’s Lethal Nature

Terrorism as Moralistic Violence

This book analyzes the legal tensions that exist in the economy that purports to "reanimate" the dead using postmortem digital technologies. Technological reanimation has proven to be big business, with many notable commercial entities investing in this "afterlife economy". Postmortem technologies convincingly replicate the appearance, physiognomy, conversation styles, and thought patterns of a deceased individual by generating digital copies that act in their stead. In the entertainment industry, new works can be created with dead celebrities through a postmortem copy that is managed by their representatives. The result is an economy in which the dead are offered as a product or service to consumers, with some having their artistic legacies extended past death through an "afterlife career". Many stakeholders stand to benefit from such a lucrative afterlife economy, but the law is simply not prepared for the issues that will arise with this exploitation of the dead. Reanimation requires the exploitation of one's reputation, persona, artistic works, and personal data. However, the corresponding legal protections are either nonexistent, inapplicable, or inconsistent across borders - depending on which posthumous interest is analyzed. In response, and by studying the contours of the existing legal protections in the afterlife economy, this book proposes a system rooted in the "shared ownership" of one's postmortem copy and the responsible "stewardship" of legacies through fiduciary duties.Law and the Digital Reanimation of the Dead will be of considerable interest to scholars working in the areas of entertainment law, intellectual property, and law and technology, as well as others with professional interests in the area.

Justice for Denizens

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

How We Talk (and Don't Talk) About Adoption in America

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.
