Transottomanica / Osteuropäisch-osmanisch-persische Mobilitätsdynamiken

This volume explores the daily lives, security measures, and health practices in the borderland regions of the Ottoman Empire and its successor states (1700-1939). With contributions from early-career and senior scholars, the book examines the complex dynamics of these frontier zones, covering regions in the Middle East and Southeastern Europe. It delves into how local communities navigated imperial control, national borders, and quarantine systems, revealing the intersections of public health, military strategies, and border security. By focusing on these marginal areas, the book provides fresh insights into imperial legacies, state formation, and the challenges of governance in the (post-)Ottoman world.

In a purely national context, the budget represents the main instrument through which a government can implement its policies. The size and character of the budget reflect the underlying political, social and economic values of the country concerned. Students need only look to the European Union (formerly European Community (EC)) Budget to survey the progress made in forging common policies and to catalogue the difficulties that can limit rapid integration.Originally published in 1980, this study explains how the EC Budget developed in the 20th century and why it remained so rudimentary. Both national and community institutions are locked into the complex problems of jointly managing substantial financial resources. There have been awkward political dilemmas over the allocation of money to particular sectors and over its distribution to individual member states, some of which are wealthier than others. This generated acute political disagreements about financing and contributions, notably between the UK and European partners.Budgetary Politics provides a comprehensive survey of the background to these problems and explores their implications. It remains a key work for students of the history, politics and economics of the European Union, the policy process, public finance and integration and international relations.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

A Global History

Worlds of Islam

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

The Borrower’s Refuge

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

The Rise of Datalism

From a renowned legal scholar, a new vision of how the judiciary has reconfigured rights and power. Ambitious and erudite, The Power Revolution is a new challenge to conventional wisdom from one of our most prominent constitutional scholars. Philip Hamburger's prior scholarship initiated the current judicial reconsideration of the administrative state. Here, he makes the broader point that the acclaimed rights revolution has been accompanied by a much more substantial power revolution-a vast judicial expansion of government power and a corresponding judicial erosion of rights. The slant toward power goes much further than has been understood, and because it cuts across much of the Constitution, its effects are sobering. It threatens both our freedom and our government. It even undermines the nation's stability. It's therefore important to understand the contemporary realities of unconstitutional power, not just our old constitutional ideals. In observing the judiciary's responsibility for how we are governed now, The Power Revolution calls upon Americans to push back against unconstitutional power and urges the judges to reconsider what they have done. After so much damage to the Constitution, it is time for repair.

The Power Revolution

The social, political, and historical context of the current Israeli-Palestinian War told through the stories of the author’s family and village. "Ramzy Baroud's sensitive, thoughtful, searching writing penetrates to the core of moral dilemmas."—Noam Chomsky A profound exploration of Palestinian history and resilience through the personal stories of the author’s family—the al-Badrasawis. Beginning with intimate details of village life in Beit Daras prior to the Nakba, Ramzy Baroud vividly portrays the rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted traditions, and daily struggles faced by ordinary people whose lives were radically disrupted by the violent upheavals and ongoing conflicts driven by British colonialism and Zionist aggression. Baroud weaves together past and present, illuminating how historical forces shaped the collective consciousness and steadfast resilience of the Palestinian people. His storytelling reveals not only the harsh realities of occupation, displacement, and loss but also the extraordinary courage, faith, and solidarity that underpin a powerful and enduring spirit of resistance, encapsulated in what the author refers to as the Palestinian “longue durée.” Ultimately, Baroud aims to humanize and reclaim Palestinian narratives from distorted portrayals, highlighting their perseverance and the universal quest for justice and liberation.
