The 44-Day War

Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Struggle for Nagorno-Karabakh

Between 1968 and 1975, there was a subtle thawing of relations between East and West, for which Brezhnev coined the name Détente, and - perhaps - a chance to end the Cold War. The leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union, Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev, hoped to forge a new relationship between East and West. Yet, the greatest changes of the era took place outside the sphere of international diplomacy. The 1960s brought social collision across the world, from the anti-war protests in America to the student demonstrations on the streets of Paris, and Mao Zedong's Red Guards in China. A new generation, whom advertising executives dubbed the baby-boomers, brought new attitudes to towards sex, gender, race, the environment and religion. In this book, Richard Crowder explores the years of Détente, and introduces us to the key players of the era, whose stories form the narrative of this book.

The Gulf Monarchies After the Arab Spring

An exploration of the limits of identity by Edward Said, a distinguished Palestinian scholar and essential voice in decolonization theory Banned by the Freud institute in Vienna, this controversial lecture eventually became Edward Said's final book. Freud and the Non-European builds on Said's abiding interest in the psychoanalyst's work to examine Freud's assumption that Moses was an Egyptian and from there explore the limits of identity. Such an unresolved, nuanced sense of identity, Said argues, might one day form the basis for a new understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. Published here with an introduction by Christopher Bollas and a response by Jacqueline Rose.

Sustainably Reducing Food Waste and Ensuring Food Security brings together academic professors, scientists, and policymakers from around the globe to address how to reduce food waste and increase access to nutritious food for all. By addressing the impact of waste-to-energy technologies, plant-based diets, alternative protein sources, and emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, the authors will provide practical guidance for anyone interested in the sustainability of the global food system and the entire food supply chain, from production to consumption. This book is divided into five sections. Section one introduces the concept of sustainable foods systems including the importance and benefits, Section two explores the economic, environmental and social impacts of understanding food waste, Section three provides solutions for food waste reduction, Section four explores sustainable agriculture and alternative food sources, and Section five covers the role of technology, data analytics, policy, and education and outreach in building a sustainable food system.

Routledge Studies in Defence and Peace Economics

The challenges of economic development become harder to achieve if poor countries also face military threats, either from external sources (such as the arms race between India and Pakistan) or from internal sources (conflicts and civil wars in Kashmir, Nepal and Sri Lanka). This book examines the relationship between economic and military security in developing countries. Set in the context of South Asia, focusing on India and Pakistan: two of only a dozen or so countries which have the capability to produce nuclear weapons, it is the product of detailed analytical research.

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Drawing upon cognate disciplines including military sociology, criminal justice and international relations, this book serves as a platform with which to formalise a new direction in critical criminology: the criminology of the military.

Military Harms and the Harms of Militarism

Few countries have had as vexed a political history as Syria. Carved out of the Ottoman empire at the end of the First World War, Syria was then brutally ruled by France. This French 'mandate' carved out new borders with equally provisional neighbours in a process that pulled apart families, trade networks and political assumptions that had already been ravaged by the war. Syria's subsequent history has been a series of attempts to make sense of its borders, including a failed attempt in the late 1950s to unite with Egypt and several humiliations at the hands of Israel's armed forces. The civil war that broke out in 2011 plunged Syria into a nightmarish series of disasters, including the terrible years of Islamic State, ultimately resulting in the reimposition of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship, which came to an end in 2024. Daniel Neep's remarkable book creates a gripping, intelligent narrative of how Syrians have lived through these events, never losing sight either of the fates of ordinary people or of Syria's rich, complex and diverse society, unwillingly or willingly brought together in such a highly contested space.

The compelling story of the inescapable return of Hong Kong to China, published for the 25th anniversary of the handoverBritish Hong Kong ended in the last minutes of 30 June 1997. Diplomacy Ends at Midnight traces the extraordinary twists and turns of Hong Kong's long drawn out, but unavoidable, reunion with China, when its 99-year leasehold on much of the colony's territory expired. 25 years ago, Britain did not want to return Hong Kong to its once and future owner, and most Hong Kongers didn't want them to either, but the choice was not theirs to make. Through exceptional archival research and interviews with many of the participants, Dalena Wright traces the intricate diplomacy by which the British sought to resist and then ultimately had to accept the inevitable reversion. The book tells the story of governors, prime ministers, presidents and Chinese leaders who believed for a century that ownership of the tiny entrepot was worth diplomatic standoffs. And when there were no more quarrels to be had, it explains how in the final years British diplomats and their political masters managed the reversion they had not wanted. For 99 years, while they waited for midnight, China and Britain - often as adversaries but occasionally as collaborators - watched Hong Kong grow into a glittering, world-class city. In the end it became a trophy that neither wanted the other to own. How Britain won and lost Hong Kong is the subject of this compelling new history.

The Long Return of Hong Kong to China

Diplomacy Ends at Midnight

The targeted assassination of Major-General Qasem Soleimani on 3 January 2020 brought into sharp focus the expansion of Iran's irregular warfare capabilities and network of highly capable proxy actors. This network, overseen by the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its mysterious and charismatic leader, has become a critical actor in shaping the Middle East. 
Painting the General fills a key gap in our knowledge of this phenomenon by exploring the role, image and framing of the Qods Force leader as a newly omnipotent and all conquering Iranian hero who has propped up the Islamic Republic's waning support internally and acted as a potent foreign policy symbol and rallying point externally. 
 
The book explores the multiple dimensions of Hajj Qasem's image, its construction, use and reception among different audiences. Bridging the gap between a traditional political biography and a work of comparative and regional politics, it places Soleimani within multiple frames of resonance, examining how his image and persona have been shaped by himself, by the regime and by outsiders to create a powerful and increasingly essential narrative which, over time, placed Soleimani as a key powerbroker in Iranian and regional politics. 
 
 Based on a newly developed analytical framework and fieldwork in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon the volume draws extensively on Persian and Arabic sources, as well as detailed exploration of the iconography used to frame Soliemani as a new, more secular Iranian hero who has resonance far beyond Iran's borders.

Over the past two decades Iran's irregular warfare capabilities have expanded dramatically with a network of highly capable proxy actors emerging and consolidating. This network, developed by the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was expertly directed by its mysterious and charismatic leader Major-General Qasem Soleimani.
