Synopsis Unveiling the Antagonisms of Regional Powers by : Roberto Miguel Rodriguez
In "Middle Power Maneuvers," readers are taken on a riveting journey into the complex world of regional geopolitics, where nations that do not command the spotlight like superpowers do, exert significant influence in their own realms and beyond. These middle powers, often overshadowed in mainstream discourse, play pivotal roles in shaping the course of regional politics, economics, and security dynamics. The book delves deep into: Strategic Aspirations: How middle powers craft their foreign policies to punch above their weight, aspiring for leadership roles in their respective regions. Soft Power Diplomacy: Exploration of the sophisticated use of culture, media, and economic ties to further national interests without resorting to hard power tactics. Alliances and Rivalries: An analysis of the ever-shifting sands of regional alliances, where today's friend can be tomorrow's adversary. Proxy Engagements: Unmasking the often clandestine roles middle powers play in regional conflicts, be it through support to proxy forces, economic warfare, or information campaigns. Economic Competition: The race for regional economic dominance, access to resources, and the establishment of trade routes. Cultural and Historical Baggage: Understanding the deep-seated historical and cultural roots of many regional antagonisms. Case Studies: In-depth examinations of various middle powers across different continents, highlighting their unique approaches and challenges. "Middle Power Maneuvers" challenges the conventional narrative of global power politics, arguing that to truly understand the global geopolitical landscape, one must look beyond just the major players. By delving into the ambitions, strategies, and rivalries of these influential regional actors, the book offers a more nuanced view of international relations in the 21st century.

Synopsis The Grand Chessboard by : Zbigniew Brzezinski
Bestselling author and eminent foreign policy scholar Zbigniew Brzezinski's classic book on American's strategic mission in the modern world. In The Grand Chessboard, renowned geostrategist Zbigniew Brzezinski delivers a brutally honest and provocative vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. The task facing the United States, he argues, is to become the sole political arbiter in Eurasian lands and to prevent the emergence of any rival power threatening our material and diplomatic interests. The Eurasian landmass, home to the greatest part of the globe's population, natural resources, and economic activity, is the "grand chessboard" on which America's supremacy will be ratified and challenged in the years to come. In this landmark work of public policy and political science, Brzezinski outlines a groundbreaking and powerful blueprint for America's vital interests in the modern world. In this revised edition, Brzezinski addresses recent global developments including the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of Russia, and the rise of China.

Synopsis Women and Politics in Iran: Veiling, Unveiling and Reveiling by : Hamideh Sedghi
Why were urban women veiled in the early 1900s, unveiled from 1936 to 1979, and reveiled after the 1979 revolution? This question forms the basis of Hamideh Sedghi's original and unprecedented contribution to politics and Middle Eastern studies. Using primary and secondary sources, Sedghi offers new knowledge on women's agency in relation to state power. In this rigorous analysis she places contention over women at the centre of the political struggle between secular and religious forces and demonstrates that control over women's identities, sexuality, and labor has been central to the consolidation of state power. Sedghi links politics and culture with economics to present an integrated analysis of the private and public lives of different classes of women and their modes of resistance to state power.

Synopsis Natural Resources and Violent Conflict by : Ian Bannon
Research carried out by the World Bank on the root causes of conflict and civil war finds that a developing country's economic dependence on natural resources or other primary commodities is strongly associated with the risk level for violent conflict. This book brings together a collection of reports and case studies that explore what the international community in particular can do to reduce this risk.; The text explains the links between natural resources and conflict and examines the impact of resource dependence on economic performance, governance, secessionist movements and revel financing. It then explores avenues for international action - from financial and resource reporting procedures and policy recommendations to commodity tracking systems and enforcement instruments, including sanctions, certification requirements, aid conditionality, legislative and judicial instruments.

Synopsis The Great Transformation by : Karl Polanyi
'One of the most powerful books in the social sciences ever written. ... A must-read' Thomas Piketty 'The twentieth century's most prophetic critic of capitalism' Prospect Karl Polanyi's landmark 1944 work is one of the earliest and most powerful critiques of unregulated markets. Tracing the history of capitalism from the great transformation of the industrial revolution onwards, he shows that there has been nothing 'natural' about the market state. Instead of reducing human relations and our environment to mere commodities, the economy must always be embedded in civil society. Describing the 'avalanche of social dislocation' of his time, Polanyi's hugely influential work is a passionate call to protect our common humanity. 'Polanyi's vision for an alternative economy re-embedded in politics and social relations offers a refreshing alternative' Guardian 'Polanyi exposes the myth of the free market' Joseph Stiglitz With a new introduction by Gareth Dale

Synopsis Democratisation and Power-Sharing in Stormy Weather by : Tamirace Fakhoury Mühlbacher
Is democracy possible only in homogeneous societies? Does heterogeneity - clude a stable democracy? Throughout history, ethnic, linguistic, or religious homogeneity whether by circumstance, coercion, or choice, has seemingly been conducive to democracy. In France, democracy was established after the impo- tion of religious uniformity and the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The United States pulled in immigrants who renounced their original affiliations to forge a new identity in a newly born state. Still, defying assumptions, democracies have emerged in heterogeneous states such as the Swiss Confederation, the Successor States of the Holy Roman Empire and, later, those carved out of the previous colonial empires. One common feature is the failure of – often violent – attempts to enforce homogeneity, or the lack of any such attempt in the first place. In the course of time, these divided societies have learned to live in diversity, to pacify their differences, and to find a path - wards peace or at least accommodation. In sum, they went beyond forms of se- rating powers to sharing power. Whether defined by ethnicity, language, religion, or even ideology, communities agreed to a pact on participating in a joint gove- ment based on proportional or even equal representation. It is noteworthy that political systems based on power-sharing were long marg- al in mainstream political science which laid an emphasis on democratic tran- tions in homogeneous societies and on socio-economic or cultural prerequisites that facilitate the rise of democracy.
