Challenging the Cold War Order in Europe

The European Community and Eastern Europe in the Long 1970s

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

Social Science for Social Justice

Cultural appropriation is one of the most contested issues of our time - but what does it actually feel like to have your culture taken, repackaged, and sold back to you? In this book, Rina Arya moves beyond familiar debates to place the lived experiences of minoritised communities at the centre of the discussion. Drawing on postcolonial theory, lived religion, cultural studies, and her experiences as a British South Asian, she examines how cultural forms are commodified, transformed, and returned to their communities with renewed authority. Arya argues that the deepest harms of cultural appropriation are not only economic or representational but also psychological, reshaping how people understand their culture and identity. Combining rigorous scholarship with personal testimony, this book challenges readers to rethink who has the authority to define culture - and what is lost when that authority shifts away from the communities from which culture originates.

Reclaiming the Debate on Cultural Appropriation

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Explores how cultural heritage has been exploited and weaponised by both state and non-state actors throughout history and in contemporary conflicts, revealing how monuments, traditions and historical narratives are manipulated for political, military and ideological gain, while also highlighting the resilience of communities striving to protect and reclaim their heritage against such attacks.

Cultural Arsenal: The Weaponisation of Heritage in Armed Conflict addresses head-on a dark and often overlooked aspect of cultural heritage: its weaponisation by both state and non-state actors. This new book is intended to show how cultural heritage has been used as a tool or weapon in contemporary conflict and geopolitical competition and how heritage has been manipulated and exploited throughout history to achieve strategic goals. The role of propaganda in the weaponisation of cultural heritage is also explored by examining how state actors use media and education to shape narratives around cultural heritage, often to justify territorial claims or suppress minority cultures. Within the context of International Humanitarian Law, these tactics highlight the importance of protecting cultural heritage during conflicts, as its loss can have profound and lasting impacts on communities, as well as the limits of international law in addressing the manipulation and exploitation of cultural heritage and its meaning. The book is therefore intended to explain - and set out - the exploitation of cultural heritage by both state and non-state actors to achieve military, economic, information, diplomatic and political advantage. By explaining this, the Editors aim to show how heritage has been weaponised in the past, and in the present, to achieve ideological successes as a component of advancing long-term interests. The narrative includes historical and current case-study examples, illustrating how empires and nations have used cultural heritage as a tool of propaganda. From political iconoclasm during the Ancient Egyptian Amarna period, to the aggressive program of Indigenous sequestration of Native American cultural practices in the nineteenth century, the book highlights how cultural heritage has been co-opted to serve strategic agendas across the Euro-Atlantic, Africa and the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. Throughout the book, the contributors emphasise the resilience of communities in the face of such attacks. Stories of cultural preservation and resistance offer a glimmer of hope, showing how people strive to protect and reclaim their heritage despite the odds. This book is intended to be a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the intersection between culture and conflict. It calls for greater awareness and action to protect cultural heritage from being weaponised, urging readers to recognise the profound importance of preserving our shared history for future generations.

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book is the only reference in English on private international law in Uzbekistan. Dispelling a common misconception that the law of ex-USSR countries is largely the same, the book provides an authoritative account of private international law in Uzbekistan, as well as the role the country plays in the harmonisation of private international law in the region and beyond. The chapters provide authoritative guidance on conflict-of-law rules, issues of jurisdiction in contractual and non-contractual matters, as well as the practice and procedure of enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in Uzbekistan. The book is the first that systematically explores private international law in Uzbekistan and is an essential tool in understanding the peculiarities of the country and their impact on legal practice.

Over the last two decades, Pakistan has seen major legislative changes in the area of gender-based violence. This book explores the impact and ongoing influence of these changes. A frequent refrain in political and social commentary in Pakistan is that these laws, while transformative on paper, have not translated to actual change in the lives of women and girls because of poor implementation. Through analysis of court cases, data on criminal proceedings, and interviews with activists and survivors, this book demonstrates how the impact of progressive laws is influenced by entrenched social norms and structural flaws in state institutions, especially the criminal justice system. Sara Malkani sheds light on limitations of the formal justice system while showing how law reform can create openings for activists to pursue gender justice.

Progressive Laws in Patriarchal Societies

Compared to their larger Asian counterparts, Philippine conglomerates have tracked a unique growth trajectory in the face of chronic poverty, economic inequality, and political conflict. While there are many studies about the zaibatsus of Japan and the chaebols of South Korea, there has been minimal research on Philippine conglomerates and their contributions to the successful turnaround of an economy that was once considered the region's perennial laggard.In this collection of essays, the authors interrogate the relationship between conglomerates and inclusive development by highlighting the Philippine experience and comparing it with those of other Southeast and East Asian economies, notably Vietnam, Indonesia, and South Korea. Have Philippine conglomerates been central to the country's economic miracle? How have they contributed to the attainment of the government's inclusive development agenda? What can be learned from the successes and failures of other Asian conglomerates? These are the key themes this volume seeks to answer to shed light on how conglomerates have impacted the course of the country's economic development.

Wer von den deutschen Rüstungsmilliarden wirklich profitiert 
 
 Keine Branche profitiert so sehr vom Krieg in der Ukraine und der 'Zeiten wende' wie die Rüstungsindustrie. Gleichzeitig ist sie eine Blackbox: Die Öffentlichkeit erfährt kaum etwas über die Firmen, die mit unserer Sicherheit Milliarden verdienen. Das neue Buch des Sicherheitsexperten und Investigativjournalisten Christian Schweppe deckt auf, wie Rüstungspolitik in Deutschland wirklich funktioniert ? und wer die Strippen zieht. 
 
 Schweppe schildert auf der Basis dutzender Gespräche mit Insidern aus der verschwiegenen Rüstungsindustrie, wie groß der Boom seit 2022 wirklich ist. Gold rausch basiert auch auf hunderten vertraulichen Dokumenten, die eigentlich zur Verschlusssache erklärt wurden, aber vom Autor exklusiv ausgewertet werden können. Sein Report aus dem Maschinenraum der Waffenbranche erzählt die spannende Geschichte, wie es wirklich läuft bei den Waffenschmieden im Land und erklärt, ob uns all die Milliarden kurzfristig überhaupt sicherer machen. Dafür besucht der Bundeswehrkenner Schweppe viele Orte der Aufrüstung selbst: Er reist durch ein Land, das neue Raketenabwehr-Systeme baut und geheime Flug plätze für Atomjets. Er recherchiert zu Mondpreisen bei Kriegsmaterial und fragwürdigem Geschäftsgebaren großer Konzerne, er schildert aus erster Hand, was passieren kann, wenn man in Deutschland zu viele kritische Nachfragen zu milliardenschweren Rüstungsdeals stellt. Seine Langzeitreportage hinter den Kulissen der deutschen Aufrüstung zeigt: Kaum eine Branche ist so sehr mit unserer Politik verwoben wie die Rüstungsindustrie.

Asian Arguments

Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. In this new and comprehensively updated edition of Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler gives his first-hand account of the impact on the river of the tumultuous political period since the book's original publication. From the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating drought to the increasing political tensions and resource competition between China and Trump-era America, Eyler recounts his own increasing involvements in international efforts to protect this precious and delicate environment. Along the way he meets the region's diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.
