New Approaches to Byzantine History and Culture

This book examines the relationship between the emergence of Byzantine archaeology and British colonialism during the period of the British Mandate in Palestine. Taking a single case study, the Negev Desert (now in southern Israel), this study explores how the development of Byzantine archaeology and historical enquiry in the region after 1800 provided the British government with a political and economic blueprint to secure its strategic interests over the Suez Canal. Several excavations of Byzantine sites during the British Mandate were utilised as an historic proof of concept for scientific programmes of ‘desert greening’, and to advocate for the displacement of Arab populations in favour of British economic development and town planning. Invariably, such contemporary concerns to secure British access to the Suez after 1869 shaped the interpretation of Byzantine history. Ideas of the Negev as a timeless ‘frontier zone’, which benefitted from the imposition of a central imperial government and increased economic immigration from a ‘Hellenised’ western Europe, gained a historical precedent in an imagined Byzantine past.

Routledge Studies in Environmental Policy

Environmental Challenges and Political Stability in the Middle East explores how environmental degradation, climate change, and resource scarcity intersect with political instability and social unrest across one of the world's most vulnerable regions.In this timely and insightful work, this book examines how the mounting pressures of climate change-ranging from water scarcity and desertification to rising temperatures and migration-serve as catalysts for conflict and governance challenges in the Middle East. Drawing on extensive research, case studies, and firsthand experience, the book reveals how environmental stress acts as a threat multiplier: amplifying inequalities, undermining economic resilience, and destabilizing fragile states such as Syria, Yemen, and Jordan. Moving beyond diagnosis, the book offers pathways toward resilience through sustainable resource management, regional cooperation, and inclusive governance. It emphasizes that addressing environmental challenges is not merely a technical task but a political and moral imperative-central to peacebuilding and sustainable development in the twenty-first century.Bridging environmental science, political analysis, and development studies, this comprehensive book offers a thorough and accessible perspective on the climate-conflict nexus. It will appeal to academics, policymakers, practitioners, and globally engaged readers interested in environmental governance, international relations, peace studies, and the future of the Middle East.

Palgrave Critical Studies in Human Rights and Criminology

This book explores how multisector collaboration approaches in Kenya and South Africa contribute to the fulfilment of human rights state obligations to prevent and effectively respond to sexual violence against women. Applying a feminist human rights perspective, the author unpacks state obligations to exercise due diligence in prevention, protection, prosecution, punishment and provision of adequate remedies to victims. This perspective puts victims’ needs and rights at the forefront in assessing service integration models, while foregrounding the need for state accountability to establish sustainable and effective sexual violence interventions. Using a qualitative case-study approach and interview data, it analyses how sexual violence service integration centers operate in urban, peri-urban and rural contexts . It demonstrates how these multi-sector collaboration approaches can produce different service orientations that may eclipse and de-center the needs and rights of sexual violence victims. The author concludes by discussing the parameters of what a victimcentered service integration approach would look like and highlights critical ways to shift deeply-rooted social, structural and institutional norms, which are the root causes of violence against women.

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.

Before there was Cher or Madonna, Iran had Googoosh. For the first time, one of the biggest pop stars of the 20th century tells her story: her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment by Revolutionary forces, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage.

From a former spy comes an electrifying novel about the mystery, paranoia and ruthlessness of the secretive world of British espionage 'Spies and Other Gods places him in the top tier of today's spy writers' The Spectator 'Wonderfully entertaining' John Banville, author of Booker Prize-winning The Sea 'Wolff offers a subtler version of comic spy fiction that treats its characters as amusing, fascinating and sometimes poignant enigmas' Sunday Times 'Wolff is the new maestro' Simon Sebag Montefiore The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he'll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations. To make matters worse, Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee - the body that oversees Sir William - has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistleblowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures. Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover? What is she really up to? And can she survive the unexpected events that will bounce her from London to Birmingham to Paris to Lausanne? 'Extraordinarily good' The Spectator 'A memorable voice in the genre' New York Times

Fintech in the Middle East

This volume addresses the drivers and mechanisms of institutional change in Europe and East Asia during times of international crisis. Under what conditions and through what processes does a form of regionalism or regionalization change? Why is there a different pace of development, and what mechanism is responsible for institutional change? Is it simply copying, or are there other mechanisms at work? Why do regions institutionalize, and why don't others?
We will distinguish between "regionalization" and "regionalism." While the former is a bottom-up process involving all kinds of citizens, non-governmental organizations, and academic circles, the latter is a top-down activity. It is the work of states, public international organizations, and diplomats. This book focuses on both phenomena. One could argue that East Asia first experienced regionalization, followed by regionalism. In the EU, however, it may be the other way around, as international organizations and elites have largely driven the integration project thus far.
