Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

There is a sprawling scholarship on violence crime and corrupt state rule; yet few have interpreted these challenges as transformative at the global scale and as a potential source of alternative non-state legitimacy. This volume challenges Westphalian conservativism in a provocative yet plausible manner shedding light at the ubiquity and diversity of unfolding non-state agendas and at their effect on the imagined state community. Focusing on civil war parties warlords commercial providers of security multinational companies and criminal organizations the book directs attention to theoretical questions and policy challenges arising from non-state armed expansion. To accomplish this the contributors present a range of case studies and comparisons within three thematic sections: the first takes stock of how when and in what measure state and state-system legitimacy are challenged by non-state violent or criminal activity; the second addresses the nature effectiveness and side-effects of different state-mandated reaction to non-state activities; and third focuses on the recombination of state and non-state actors contributing to processes of socio-political transformation. This volume provides a current analysis of different armed and violent actors encroaching on the state's monopoly of violence. It seeks to spark debate about global political change and will be of interest to students and scholars of global governance global security and international relations. | Non-State Challenges in a Re-Ordered World The Jackals of Westphalia

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

This book provides a comparative assessment of the material and ideational contributions of five countries to the regional architecture of post-Cold War Asia. In contrast to the usual emphasis placed on the role and centrality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Asia’s multilateral architecture and its component institutions this book argues that the four non-ASEAN countries of interest here ¾ Australia Japan China and the United States ¾ and Indonesia have played and continue to play an influential part in determining the shape and substance of Asian multilateralism from its pre-inception to the present. The work does not contend that existing scholarship overstates ASEAN’s significance to the successes and failures of Asia’s multilateral enterprise. Rather it claims that the impact of non-ASEAN stakeholders in innovating multilateral architecture in Asia has been understated. Whether ASEAN has fared well or poorly as a custodian of Asia’s regional architecture the fact remains that the countries considered here notwithstanding their present discontent over the state of that architecture are key to understanding the evolution of Asian multilateralism. This book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics international organisations security studies and IR more generally. | Multilateral Asian Security Architecture Non-ASEAN Stakeholders

Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

Amidst the Eurozone crisis the European Union (EU) is stepping up its dialogue and engagement with and within Southeast Asia. The EU’s contemporary approach towards Asia emphasises the importance of open economies and common challenges of the 21st Century. So-called non-traditional security issues have been portrayed increasingly as an avenue to share experiences and enhance cooperation between the EU and Southeast Asia. This contemporary conceptual re-orientation demands a closer look at the EU as an actor in Southeast Asia. This book is the first contemporary monograph-length discussion of the EU as a politico-security actor in in the region post-Cold War. Drawing upon the historical and institutional context and a broad range of empirical case studies it considers the non-traditional security crises of the late 1990s and early 2000s in Southeast Asia as triggers for enhanced regional and inter-regional cooperation. In doing so the book construes new insights into our understanding of the EU as a global actor and its normative influence in regions far away from Europe. Providing a crisis-centric and sector-specific analysis which is much-needed the book will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Politics and European Politics as well as policy-makers. | Southeast Asia and the European Union Non-traditional security crises and cooperation

The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas

The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas

Since 2011 with the British Government’s counter-radicalisation strategy Prevent non-violent Islamist groups have been considered a security risk for spreading a divisive ideology that can lead to radicalisation and violence. More recently the Government has expressed concerns about their impact on social cohesion entryism and women’s rights. The key protagonists of non-violent Islamist ‘extremism’ allegedly include groups and individuals associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and Jama’at-i-Islami. They have been described as part of the ‘global Muslim Brotherhood’ but do they constitute a singular phenomenon a social movement?This book shows that such groups and individuals do indeed comprise a movement in Britain one dedicated to an Islamic ‘revival’. It shows how they are networked organisationally bonded through ideological and cultural kinship and united in a conflict of values with the British society and state. Using original interviews with prominent revivalist leaders as well as primary sources the book also shows how the movement is not so much ‘Islamist’ in aspiring for an Islamic state but concerned with institutionalising an Islamic worldview and moral framework throughout society. The conflict between the Government and the global Muslim Brotherhood is apparent in a number of different fields including education governance law and counterterrorism. But this does not simply concern the direction of Government policy or the control of state institutions. It most fundamentally concerns the symbolic authority to legitimise a way of seeing thinking and living. By assessing this multifaceted conflict the book presents an exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of the political and cultural fault lines between Islamic revivalists and the British authorities. It will be useful for anyone studying Islam in the West government counter-terrorism and counter-extremism policy multiculturalism and social cohesion. | The Global Muslim Brotherhood in Britain Non-Violent Islamist Extremism and the Battle of Ideas

Electoral Corruption in Bangladesh

Electoral Corruption in Bangladesh

This title was first published in 2001. Rigging elections in favour of those in power has become a common practice in Bangladesh. Muhammad Yeahia Akhter focuses on the significance of elections in this ostensibly democratic state and portrays how electoral corruption has damaged the process of democratic consolidation.

The study examines the relatively democratic but largely non-transparent nature of electioneering under non-partisan caretaker governments. The study provides a source of understanding of fair electoral process for the politicians and electoral officials in Bangladesh and other democratizing polities. It provides valuable information to the policy makers and practitioners in order to reform the electoral process in Bangladesh and in other similar countries. | Electoral Corruption in Bangladesh

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

The majority of studies on the agricultural history of Japan have focused on the public administration of land and production and rice the principal source of revenue has received the most attention. However while this cereal has clearly played a decisive role in the public economy of the Japanese State it has not had a predominant place in agricultural production. Far from confining its scope to a study of rice growing for tax purposes this volume looks at the subsistence economy in the plant kingdom as a whole. This book examines the history of agriculture in premodern Japan from the 8th to the 17th century dealing with the history of agricultural techniques and food supply of rice wheat millet and other grains. Drawing extensively on material from history literature archaeology ethnography and botany it analyses each of the farming operations from sowing to harvesting and the customs pertaining to consumption. It also challenges the widespread theory that rice cultivation has been the basis of Japaneseness for two millennia and the foundation of Japanese civilization by focusing on the biodiversity and polycultural traditions of Japan. Further it will play a role in the current dialogue on the future of sustainable agricultural production from the viewpoints of ecology biodiversity dietary culture and food security throughout the world as traditional techniques such as crop rotation are explored in connection with the safeguarding of the minerals in the soil. Surveying agricultural techniques across the centuries and highlighting the dietary diversity of Japan this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history the history of science and technology medieval history cultural anthropology and agriculture. | Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

Malaysia’s New Ethnoscapes and Ways of Belonging

This book provides a picture of a globalized Malaysia where its conventionally-conceived multi-ethnic composition of Malays Chinese Indians and Others rub shoulders with or interact more intimately on a daily basis with transnational ethnoscapes of migrant workers asylum seekers international students and foreign spouses.

What are the possibilities of forming cosmopolitan solidarities with non-Malaysians? And what are the newcomers’ strategies for place-making and belonging? And to bring the discussions of citizenship in Malaysia into relief it is also asked how Malaysians abroad seek to enact and make meaningful their Malaysian citizenship. A diversity of experiences shapes the narratives in the chapters: of racialization rejection boundary-making and exclusivity resilience and adaptation.
