McDermott J: Individual Rights over
Economic Equality

Individual Rights over Economic Equality

How Individual Rights and Property Stand in Opposition to Working Conditions and Equality

Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

Law, Development and Globalization

Sovereignty, Human Rights and Global Order addresses the question of whether sovereignty is an instrument of, or an impediment to, cosmopolitan visions of global governance. Sam Adelman offers a sustained examination of the contemporary phenomenon of sovereignty, arguing that it is only in overcoming the sovereign capacity to condone unnatural death that the possibility of an alternative, and human rights based, global order lies.

The Responsibility to Protect in Latin America

The Yale Judaica Series

A first-ever documentary history of antisemitism in the United States, spanning five centuries &nbsp; In a 1790 letter to Rhode Island Jewish leader Moses Seixas, President George Washington responded to Seixas’s concerns about Jewish persecution, assuring him that America “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, [and] requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens.” Historians have typically identified this letter as a symbol of American Jewish exceptionalism, the idea that Jewish life in the United States has been qualitatively distinct from, indeed better than, Jewish life in Europe. Undergirding this idea is the claim that antisemitism has been a relatively minor force in American Jewish life. In this volume, Britt P. Tevis upends this narrative to reveal various manifestations of Jewish inequality in American history, highlighting the ways that Jews have encountered limited civil and political rights. &nbsp; Using a remarkable array of primary sources, Tevis traces the history of antisemitism in the United States from 1654 to 2024. Comprising government reports, judicial decisions, correspondence, advertisements, cartoons, social media posts, and more, this documentary reader presents examples of antisemitism in nine overlapping categories: church and state, disenfranchisement, racialization, defamation, antisemitism and anti-Black racism, immigration and citizenship, exclusion and segregation, violence, and anti-Zionism. Tevis also shows how Jews have reacted to instances of inequality and have negotiated their place in America, both as individuals and as a community. &nbsp; Collectively, these documents expose readers to the underexplored history of anti-Jewish discrimination in America, and the ways that Jews have championed and defended American ideals in the face of inequality.

A Documentary History of Antisemitism in the United States

Sanctioned Bigotry

'It is quite a feat to pull off a densely informative book about a horrible subject that also manages to be charismatic and funny . . . Highly readable' - The Guardian Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it. *British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. *An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. *Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response. Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of clear, factual, rigorous science - the data that reveals truths about racism that we need to know. And, somehow, entertains and amuses along the way. 'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera 'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent 'A book that shouldn't have to exist . . . but I'm glad it does' - Adam Rutherford

Everything you need to know but probably don't - yet

The Science of Racism

In three decades under the leadership of Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch conducted investigations in 100 countries to uncover abuses - and pressured offending governments to stop them. Roth has grappled with the worst of humanity, taken on the most ruthless oppressors of our time, and persuaded leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts. The son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany just before the war began, Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane governments could be. He has travelled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf: he arrived in Rwanda shortly after the genocide; scrutinized the impact of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait; investigated and condemned Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians. He directed efforts to curtail the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghur Muslims, to bring Myanmar's officials to justice after the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, to halt Russian war crimes in Ukraine, even to rein in the U.S. government. Roth's many innovations and strategies included the deployment of a concept as old as mankind - the powerful tool of 'shaming' - and here he illustrates its surprising effectiveness against evildoers. This is a story of wins, losses, and ongoing battles in the ceaseless fight for a more decent world.

This book takes readers through the major events and debates in the modern history of the Republic of Turkey. Beginning with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI and the victory of nationalist forces in 1923, it relays the key turning points, issues and trends in the Republic's history. It gives readers a strong grounding in the political history as well as historiographical debates including: - the nation building process and nationalisms; - the development of political Islam - the impact on Turkey of the Cold War - decolonisation - the role of the army in politics and the dominance of the coup in historiography - class structure - human rights - civil society - secularism - the Ottoman legacy The book incorporates the very latest thinking on the study of Turkey into its narrative, covering essential issues hitherto left out of introductory texts which prioritise security such as migration (both internal within Turkey and out of and into Turkey); economic models; Turkey's geostrategic position; energy resources and policies; the environment; gender: and entertainment culture including sport. Each of the book's 13 chronological chapters includes a chronology of major events and a further reading and sources section which include Turkish short stories, novels or poems in translation, online open access sources, films and documentaries and text boxes containing, poetry, film posters, newspaper headlines, short biographies, adverts, and information on specific events such as the introduction of TV feature throughout the text to aid learning. Breaking with the Cold War paradigm and its focus on the coups and security as well as approaches to Turkey which over emphasise the Ottoman past, this book offers readers a new assessment of the Republic which reflects the diverse approaches to its history prevalent in current scholarship.

A History from 1918 to the Present

The Republic of Turkey

"Crockett, Das, and Pratihar have generated a work of extraordinary interest and cross-disciplinary attractiveness. This book’s timeliness signals the materialization of both a longer term and at the same time extraordinarily fresh subject matter. The chapters are scintillating but not obscure in their transdisciplinary liveliness. Together they offer an approach that an ethically concerned theory should follow more often: they convey their indispensable economic/political/ecological practicality with an alluring creativity."—Catherine Keller, Drew University, USA"Religion, Politics and New Materialism is a vital and timely collection of essays. The fragile truce among liberalism, capitalism, religion, and the environment is crumbling. The chapters, drawing on the resources of New Materialism, Energy Humanities, and Political Theology, seek to understand the nature of the truce, its limits, and what future might be possible in its wake. Taken as a whole, this collection is a tour de force of contemporary scholarship, which accompanies the reader in an urgent engagement of political imagination."—Brent Adkins, Roanoke College, USAThis volume addresses the critical role of religion in the world today, and how it is caught up in the transition from modern liberalism to postmodern neoliberalism. It explores how religion is always implicated in political formations, as well as how contemporary politics has religious influences and effects. The interconnection between religion and politics is informed by the philosophy of New Materialism and set within a planetary context that acknowledges the human role in climate change.Prof. Clayton Crockett is Professor of Religious Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of Central Arkansas, USAProf. Saswat Samay Das is Associate Professor of Critical Theory in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India&nbsp;Dr. Ananya Roy Pratihar is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies, Institute of Management and Information Science, Bhubaneswar, India
