Tormented Births: Passages to Modernity in Europe and the Middle East (Library of Modern Middle East Studies) Isam Al- Khafaji Tauris Academic Studies, Library of modern Middle East studies -- 39, London, New York, New York, England, 2004

"To many, the values, culture and politics of the Middle East stand in direct opposition to those of the West. There is talk of a clash between Islam and modernity. But what is the Middle East today? What defines it? Where is it going? 'Tormented Births' seeks to provide an answer. Based on a wealth of empirical data, Isam Al-Khafaji presents a radically new explanation of the processes of social, political and economic development in the Middle East over the past two centuries. He proposes that the Middle East's path to modernity must be understood in comparison with the European experience. In a sweeping attack on the existing literature, Al-Khafaji shows that the stress on the cultural distinctiveness of the Middle East vis-a-vis Europe is misguided, and that the experience of colonialism and imperialism has not irrevocably distorted the region's natural development. On the contrary, Al-Khafaji shows the striking similarities in the formation and evolution of power structures, social groups and rural-urban spaces in the Middle East and Europe. 'Tormented Births' offers a completely new evaluation of the state of the Middle East today, based on the most interdisciplinary of approaches which combine political science, development economics, history, sociology and cultural studies. Of great political importance, al-Khafaji concludes by presenting a novel explanation of the persistence of authoritarian regimes in the region. 'Tormented Births' is a trail-blazing work of vital importance for any scholar interested in the state of the Middle East and the world today."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

nexusstc/Across the Wall: Narratives of Israeli–Palestinian History/d301b99639a13828fef735e7939f2d34.pdf

Across The Wall: Narratives Of Israeli-palestinian History (library Of Modern Middle East Studies) Pappé, Ilan (editor);Hilal, Jamil (editor) I.B. Tauris : Distributed in the United States and Canada exclusively by Palgrave Macmillan, Library of modern Middle East studies -- 88, Library of modern Middle East studies -- 88., London, New York, England, 2010

“Across the Wall” arose from a unique collaboration between scholars from Israel and the Palestinian territories, seeking to arrive at a shared framework for studying the history of this troubled land. Ilan Pappe and Jamil Hilal, among the top academics in Israel and Palestine respectively, brought historians from both sides of the wall together for dialogue on history, identity, and the meaning of the conflict. In the volume, they argue persuasively for the concept of a ‘bridging narrative’, a historiographical discourse which can accommodate seemingly incompatible national meta-narratives. Proceeding from this innovative theoretical framework, “Across the Wall” then goes on to offer critical examinations of some of the most contested issues in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: the 1948 ‘Nakba’, the 1967 war, the occupation, and the formation of the PLO. The result is a radical new take on the history of Israel/Palestine which transcends the biases inherent in both countries’ national narratives and points towards a new model for the historiography of conflicts.

nexusstc/Rebels with A Cause: The Failure of the Left in Iran/719f44042ee4e0f065e4469167cd8dc8.pdf

Rebels with a cause : the failure of the left in Iran Behrooz, Maziar I.B. Tauris; I. B. Tauris, 2000

Why were left-wing politics so ineffective in Iran while socialism and communism swept through the rest of the world? Why did the Left not capitalize on Iran's brief fling with anti-Western politics in the early 1950s? And why was the Left so crushingly defeated after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran? Maziar Behrooz offers fresh insights into an enduring puzzle of modern Iranian political history, concluding that the Left's demise came from a combination of Iran's geopolitical setting, where both Soviet and Western worlds saw advantage in the stability of Iran during the Cold War, as well as internal factors such as splits and factionalism. The Iranian Left also had an over-enthusiastic devotion to a barren Stalinism, with its poverty of philosophy and ideas. Maziar Behrooz is Assistant Professor of History at San Francisco State University.

nexusstc/Islam and Modernity: Muslim Intellectuals Respond/1499514b5a7ba941128a1a01e5ac1dbf.pdf

Islam and modernity : muslim and intellectuals respond Mohamed Mahmoud; Ronald L. Nettler; John Cooper I.B. Tauris ; Distributed by St. Martin's Press, London ; New York New York, 1998

"This text presents the ideas of a number of contemporary modernist and liberal Muslim thinkers, exposing an important intellectual current in Islamic thought. These figures work mainly outside "established" institutional, political and religious frameworks, whilst relying heavily on traditional sources. Responding to the challenges brought by colonialism and modernization, they propose new conceptions and interpretations of Islam consonant with the age. Although their specific concerns and emphases vary, their thought shares certain features; a reconsideration of the relation between religion and politics; an easy incorporation of modern Western ideas; a reinterpretaton of sacred sources which highlights their more universalist elements; and a conception of Islam as moving with historical change whilst remaining rooted in Qur'anic values. Disputing the widespread view of modern Islam as essentially political, the book shows a quite different face of the tradition."--Bloomsbury Publishing

nexusstc/Patrons and Defenders: Saints in the Italian City-state/f72aa7e77d51b8bb7f485d85287467f6.pdf

Patrons and Defenders: The Saints in the Italian City State (International Library of Historical Studies) Diana Webb Tauris Academic Studies; Distributed by St. Martin's Press; I. B. Tauris, International library of historical studies ;, 4, London, New York, New York, England, 1996

The cult of the saints played a vital role in the political life of Italian city states in the Middle Ages. The saints were a unifying force for a city, and brought prestige and power to its rulers, therefore the cult of the saints was bound up with the civic agenda, and worship was politically charged. Laymen - able men of affairs, orthodox and ""kirchentreu"", increasingly assumed responsibility for ensuring that ""celestial guarantees"" were obtained for a city's well-being, despite the traditionally powerful influence of the church. This book is therefore not a hagiography, but an intensely political study of an age in which religious experience was seen as part of everyday life, and in which it seemed natural to medieval politicians to involve the saints in politics.

nexusstc/Islam and Romantic Orientalism: Literary Encounters with the Orient/7bc76abbae97e45748bc1aec2c1936e6.pdf

Islam and romantic orientalism : literary encounters with the Orient Sharafuddin, Mohammed I.B. Tauris; Bloomsbury, First edition, London, 1994

Did European writers and scholars create an image of the Islamic world as a place of tyranny, unreason and immorality destined to be subjected to and exploited by the civilized West? This book takes a fresh look at some of the main literary texts of the Romantic movement explored in Edward Said's classic work. Sharafuddin acknowledges wide areas of truth in Said's thesis, however, he argues that in the work of Southey, Byron, Moore and Landor, who began their careers under the sign of the French Revolution and declared their independence both from political tryanny and from national self-safisfaction, the world of Islam appears not just as an antithesis to the world of European civilization but as an alternative cultural reality with its own values.

nexusstc/Iran and the Rise of Reza Shah: From Qajar Collapse to Pahlavi Rule/156adade8aeac8ff4d9e9a40617aeead.pdf

Iran and the rise of Reza Shah : from Qajar collapse to Pahlavi rule Ghani, Cyrus I.B. Tauris; Bloomsbury, London, New York, England, 1998

The post-World War I years encompass one of the most important and engrossing chapters in 20th century Iranian history. The period began with a triumvirate of Iranian political grandees, encouraged (and bribed) by the British government, attempting to shoe-horn Iran into the British Empire. This failed and clumsy episode was followed by a bizarre coup d’état, engineered in great haste by a British general, which brought to power a tough but obscure military officer who disposed of the prime minister to take over the role himself, dabbled briefly with republicanism, then crowned himself as Reza Shah Pahlavi, ending 130 years of Qajar rule. This book covers a crucial period in the birth of the modern Iranian state and will become the standard work on the subject. ‘The present emerges from the past, and no one should discourse on Iran and its future without reading Cyrus Ghani’s trenchant and scrupulous history.’ – Professor Arthur Schlesinger ‘Cyrus Ghani’s book is indispensable reading for those who seek to understand the roots of the complex political situation in Iran today.’ – James A. Bill, Professor of Government, William and Mary College, Virginia

Based on research on private papers and official sources, this book describes that process whereby Mexico was given diplomatic recognition by Britain. It examines the problems of diplomacy caused by difficulties in communications, and assesses the influence of Canning's pursuit of imperial interests."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

nexusstc/The Middle East Water Question: Hydropolitics and the Global Economy/d3e22039af6da51c6eec6c7fd1b43c7e.pdf

The Middle East Water Question: Hydropolitics and the Global Economy (International Library of Human Geography) Allan, Tony I.B. Tauris & Co. Ltd., May 11, 2001

Is there enough water on this planet for a global population that will shortly double its present size? The answer is of huge importance for people everywhere, but particularly to the peoples and political leaders of the Middle East and North Africa. Already, the region’s economies are as dependant on water from outside the region as they are on the renewable waters of the region. They will be much more dependant in the future. Professor Allan’s important new book aims to remove much of the confusion surrounding the issue of water in the Middle East. As well as explaining the particular issues of conflict in the region, he argues that the answer to these problems lies at the global rather than local level. The national water policies of the region (political as well as economic) can only be properly understood at an international level. And it is from this vantage point that solutions - from rendering water globally available to addressing the environmental isses to do with its use – must be found. The Middle East Water Question\_ is a major book by one of the world’s leading authorities on water issues – the product of a decade of involvement with officials, professionals, Middle East and North African governments and international agencies such as the World Bank and FAO.

nexusstc/Waterways of Iraq and Iran in the Early Islamic Period: Changing Rivers and Landscapes of the Mesopotamian Plain/8c41ce44416c3df4d76e5b142436f6e4.pdf

Waterways of Iraq and Iran in the Early Islamic Period: Changing Rivers and Landscapes of the Mesopotamian Plain (International Library of Human Geography) Verkinderen, Peter I. B. Tauris & Company, Limited, 2011

"The waterways of ancient Iraq were crucial to its prosperity. While they were maintained, Iraq and neighbouring Khuzistan, in southwest Iran, were the richest and most productive agricultural areas of the Middle East, supporting the Sasanian, Umayyad and Abbasid empires. When the waterways changed or fell into decay, both the prosperity and the political role of Iraq largely disappeared. Understanding the course of the rivers and how they changed is therefore pivotal to understanding the history of the region. Peter Verkinderen's important book provides the first major re-examination of the waterways of early Islamic Iraq in almost seventy years. Combining a close reading of early Arab geographical and historical sources with analysis of modern satellite imagery, the author reconstructs the course of each of the major rivers--the Euphrates, Tigris, Karun, Jarrahi and Karhe-- from the 7th to the 12th centuries, showing how they changed over the intervening five hundred years. His extensive use of detailed narrative accounts found in Arab historical sources has never previously been undertaken and the use of remote sensing has allowed the author to link traces of ancient river beds and canal systems to the rivers and canals mentioned in the early Arab sources. Presenting a much fuller and more accurate picture than has previously been possible, Waterways of Iraq is a work of the first importance, unlikely to be superseded for many years to come--Bloomsbury Publishing."

Stalin's spy : Richard Sorge and the Tokyo espionage ring Robert Whymant, ROBERT WHYMANT I.B. Tauris ; Distributed by Palgrave Macmillan, 2Rev Ed edition, March 1996

"This is the true story of a remarkable man who pulled off a seemingly impossible espionage mission in Tokyo, before and during World War II. Richard Sorge, born to a Russian mother and a German father, ran a network of Japanese and Europeans under the noses of Japan's dreaded secret police. From 1933 until he was caught in late 1941, he transmitted priceless secrets to Red Army intelligence. Sorge's espionage group - perhaps the most successful operating in this critical period - kept the Russians informed about Japanese and German intentions, and also helped influence decisions made by these governments.; Sorge's biggest coup was to inform Stalin of the German attack on Russia in 1941, weeks before it occurred - with details of troop deployments, movement of armaments and the actual date of the attack. Abandoned to his fate by Stalin, Sorge became the first European sentenced to death by a Japanese court. After a prolonged ordeal, he was executed in Sugamo prison in 1944."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Jan Hus: Religious Reform And Social Revolution In Bohemia (international Library Of Historical Studies) Fudge, Thomas A. I. B. Tauris & Company, Limited; I.B.Tauris, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2010

A century before Martin Luther and the Reformation, Jan Hus confronted the official Church and helped to change the face of medieval Europe. A key figure in the history of Europe and Christianity and a catalyst for religious reform and social revolution, Jan Hus was poised between tradition and innovation. Taking a stand against the perceived corruption of the Church, his continued defiance led to his excommunication and he was ultimately burned at the stake in 1415. What role did he play in shaping Medieval Europe? And what is his legacy for today? In this important and timely book, Thomas A. Fudge explores Jan Hus, the man, his work and his legacy. Beginning his career at Prague University, this brilliant Bohemian preacher was soon catapulted by virtue of his radical and popular theology to the forefront of European affairs. This book fills a real gap in contemporary understanding of the medieval Church and offers an accessible and authoritative account of a most significant individual and his role in history. Jan Hus belongs to the pantheon of extraordinary figures from medieval religious history. His story is one of triumph and tragedy in a time of chaos and change.

Over-stating the Arab States: Politics and Society in the Middle East Nazih N. Ayubi, Nazih N. M. Ayubi I. B. Tauris, 2001

Why is it that even though they all call themselves Arab, there are actually twenty disparate Arab “states”? Why have these “states” engaged in numerous attempts at political unification, each of which has ended in failure? Although the rhetoric of politics in most countries is based on broad, universalist ideas such as nationalism or socialism, why have actual “ruling castes” been so narrowly based and non-representative? These are some of the questions that inform this comparative study of politics and the role of the state in Arab world, and make this a key textbook for students of Middle East politics, political theory and political economy. Nazih Ayubi’s main objective in this book is to place the Arab world within a theoretical and comparative framework that avoids both “orientalist” and “fundamentalist” insistence on the utter peculiarity and uniqueness of the region. Focusing in detail on eight countries, while referring to key aspects of several others, Ayubi deals with issues relating to the emergence of social classes, corporatism, economic liberalization and the relationship between state and civil society. This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the role of the state in the modern world.

"Taking a broad, interdisciplinary approach, this book focuses on the role of states and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) in the formation of a new European security order. The first part of the book examines the ways in which states struggle for power in Europe within a legal framework. The second section considers the struggle for power itself through an analysis of recent developments and the perspectives of the leading European institutions, notably the EU, NATO, the WEU and the OSCE, as well as newer initiatives like NACC, Partnership for Peace and the EBRD. The contributors aim to determine the extent to which states currently operate according either to a balance of power logic or to an approach governed by a concern to build a wider security community in Europe."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Ecstasy and Enlightenment: The Ismaili Devotional Literature of South Asia (Ismaili Heritage) Asani, Ali S. I.B.TaurisPublishers london · new york in association with The Institute of Ismaili Studies london, 1, London, 2002

The devotional literature of the Ismailis in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent is a rich seam of creativity in the cultural heritage of Islam. This book looks at the "ginans", a large corpus of hymns and poems composed in a variety of Indic languages and attributed to a series of preacher-saints who propagated Ismaili Islam in the subcontinent over several centuries. The work explores the origins of this literature in the larger historical, cultural and religious contexts of the Sufi, Bhakti and Sant movements in medieval India. The characteristics of the "ginans" are explored and the Khojki script in which they were written. There is also a look at the continuing enthusiasm for this poetic tradition in the religious life of contemporary Nizari Ismaili communities of South Asian origin.

The author offers an explanation of each policy and action of Iran's clerical leaders with reference to the Qur'an, theological writings and tradition, and Islamic historical precedent. The concepts of nationalism and the Islamic nation-state, pan-Islamism and international relations are all discussed in the context of Iran's policy of total war. --Bloomsbury Publishing.

nexusstc/Dean John Colet of St. Paul’s: Humanism and Reform in Early Tudor England/06bac6b35316cc0ea61c23c18233cbf0.pdf

Dean John Colet of St. Paul's: Humanism and Reform in Early Tudor England (International Library of Historical Studies) Arnold, Jonathan I.B. Tauris; Bloomsbury, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2007

"This is an important and original biography of John Colet, the leading humanist theologian in early Tudor England and the founder of St Paul's School in London. Taken at face value, the facts of John Colet's life, spanning the late 15th and early 16th centuries, appear to portray a successful, humanist clerical reformer, active in London on the eve of the English Reformation. In fact, as a cleric, John Colet was neither successful nor a reformer, nor were the reforms he attempted particularly welcome. His greatest achievement, and lasting legacy, was the foundation of his school. Thus, in the sphere of Christian humanist education, Colet was a success. However, in all his dealings, Colet considered the spiritual life to be of paramount importance and his ultimate aim was the deification of sinful humanity, not just for a few exceptional individuals, but for the entire Church. In this respect, Colet's ecclesiastical vision did not effect any significant change in the early sixteenth-century Church, although it nevertheless pointed to the possibility of a more spiritual, unified and holy Church. Colet was a passionate and pious man who does not fall easily into any historical, intellectual or ecclesiastical category. Ultimately, he escapes identification with any other set of contemporaneous idealists because his vision was his own. This study offers a timely re-assessment of the life of a complex religious figure of pre-Reformation England."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Rebels with a cause : the failure of the left in Iran Maziar Behrooz I.B. Tauris; I. B. Tauris, London, New York, England, 1999

Why were left-wing politics so ineffective in Iran while socialism and communism swept through the rest of the world? Why did the Left not capitalize on Iran's brief fling with anti-Western politics in the early 1950s? And why was the Left so crushingly defeated after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran? Maziar Behrooz offers fresh insights into an enduring puzzle of modern Iranian political history, concluding that the Left's demise came from a combination of Iran's geopolitical setting, where both Soviet and Western worlds saw advantage in the stability of Iran during the Cold War, as well as internal factors such as splits and factionalism. The Iranian Left also had an over-enthusiastic devotion to a barren Stalinism, with its poverty of philosophy and ideas. Maziar Behrooz is Assistant Professor of History at San Francisco State University.

nexusstc/The New Face of Terrorism: Threats from Weapons of Mass Destruction/424e37d4269a241a8bb7dca513a9c325.pdf

The New Face of Terrorism : Threats From Weapons of Mass Destruction Gurr, Nadine ;Cole, Benjamin I.B. Tauris ; In the United States of America and in Canada distributed by St Martins Press, 2000

"Anthrax, smallpox, sarin, blister, blood and choking agents - the list of potential weapons of mass destruction is enormous and varied. It was once thought that technological problems would prevent terrorists developing these weapons whilst moral issues would stop them using them. That has now changed. The technical and organizational sophistication of the attacks on 11th September 2001 heralds a new era in the age-old war against terrorism. After these attacks, attention focused on the activities and capacities of Islamic extremist groups, such as Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'eda organisation, but the reality is that terrorist threats could come from almost any quarter. This revised edition is the comprehensive and sobering account of the possibilities - technological and political."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

nexusstc/In Hitler’s Shadow: West German Historians and the Attempt to Escape from the Nazi Past/4ba03873d5131e0cf185cc2d299dbf3b.pdf

In Hitler's shadow : West German historians and the attempt to escape from the Nazi past Richard J Evans; Mazal Holocaust Collection Pantheon Books, 1st ed., London, England, 1989

"In Hitler's Shadow, by noted historian Richard J. Evans, is a study of recent attempts by some West German historians to free the German conscience from guilt about its Nazi past. These new revisionists argue that Germans have no more to be ashamed of than other peoples: Auschwitz, they say, does not stand alone in history; it was merely one of a number of similar crimes, from Stalin's purges to the mass murders committed by Pol Pot. The German army was not trying to impose a genocidal dictatorship; it was fighting to prevent a Communist takeover of Europe. These theses are advanced not by fanatics or extremists, but by senior West German politicians and internationally respected historians. In Hitler's Shadow examines the debate, placing it within the context of West German politics, and tries to reach a balanced and reasoned conclusion. The new revisionism does not, Evans argues, succeed in making its case, and many of the neoconservative theses bear a disturbing resemblance to arguments first put forward by the Nazis themselves. The survival and strengthening of democracy in West Germany, Evans argues, require an honest and open confrontation with the Nazi past."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Marriage on trial : Islamic family law in Iran and Morocco Mir-Hosseini, Ziba (editor) I.B.sTauris, First edition, London, 1993

"This book looks at how fiqh, Islamic family law, is interpreted and administered in two Muslim countries. It studies the complex relationship between the classical textbooks and modern codes of personal status law which in principle are based on them, but which in fact diverge from them both in substantive law and in methods of procedure and judgment. Based on extensive fieldwork in the courts and outside, it focuses on the dynamics of marriage and the consequences of its breakdown, as well as the way litigants manipulate the law in order to resolve marital difficulties. It illustrates the interaction between Islamic law and the social construction of marriage and divorce in Iran and Morocco, showing women can turn even the most patriarchal elements of Islamic law to their advantage and achieve their personal marital aims."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

nexusstc/State and Society in Iran: The Eclipse of the Qajars and the Emergence of the Pahlavis/072218b23c8bde17c6eacb194f425eff.pdf

State and society in Iran : the eclipse of the Qajars and the emergence of the Pahlavis Katouzian, Homa. I. B. Tauris ; New York; In U.S. and Canada distribured by St. Martin's Press, Library of modern Middle East studies ;, 28, London, New York, England, 2000

"Iran was the first country of the Middle East to experience (in 1905-6) a popular revolution that demanded the rule of law and parliamentary government. But the democratic constitution established by the revolution plunged the country into a period of turmoil and, despite subsequent popular democratic movements, most notably in the early 1950s and during the Iranian revolution of 1978-9, the country has for most of the century, lived under arbitrary rule. Katouzian offers a theoretical framework for the study of Iranian history, state and society which is then applied to social and political developments from the Constitutional Revolution to the fall of the Pahlavi state. This analysis affords important insights into the present situation in Iran and the alternative prospects for its future, especially relevant since the recent accession of President Khatami."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Tajikistan in the New Central Asia: Geopolitics, Great Power Rivalry and Radical Islam (International Library of Central Asian Studies) Jonson, Lena I.B. Tauris ; Distributed by Palgrave Macmillan, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2006

Central Asia has become the battleground for the major struggles of the 21st century: radical Islam versus secularism, authoritarianism versus identity politics, Eastern versus Western control of resources, and the American 'War on Terror'. Nowhere are these conflicts more starkly illustrated than in the case of Tajikistan. Embedded in the oil-rich Central Asian region, and bordering war-torn Afghanistan, Tajikistan occupies a geo-strategically pivotal position. It is also a major transit hub for the smuggling of opium, which eventually ends up in the hands of heroin dealers in Western cities. In this timely book, Lena Jonson examines Tajikistan's search for a foreign policy in the post 9/11 environment. She shows the internal contradictions of a country in every sense at the crossroads, reconciling its bloody past with an uncertain future. She assesses the impact of regional developments on the reform movement in Tajikistan, and in turn examines how changes in Tajik society (which is the only Central Asian country to have a legal Islamist party) might affect the region. The destiny of Tajikistan is intimately connected with that of Central Asia, and this thorough and penetrating book is essential reading for anyone seeking to make sense of this complex and important region."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Inventing Lebanon: Nationalism and the State Under the Mandate (Library of Middle East History) Firro, Kais M I.B. Tauris; Bloomsbury, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2002

__Inventing Lebanon__ examines the history behind an idea: a new polity of ‘Greater Lebanon’. It shows how, under the powerful influence of the French Mandate, various groups of the local elite attempted to create what amounted to a new Lebanese nationalism, carving the state into Maronite Christian, Sunni and Shiite power bases. The results only accentuated the divisions already inherent in this multi-ethnic and multi-faith society, and were to pave the way for the instability and wars that have plagued the country ever since.

nexusstc/Covert Action: The Limits of Intervention in the Postwar World/d02628c6476fd0ea1032138d4a49577c.pdf

In the last 30 years the United States has spent billions of dollars on “secret” intervention throughout the world. These covert actions - few of which have remained secret for long - include everything from propaganda and infiltration of political parties to clandestine arms sales and full-blown paramilitary operations. This book is the first to analyse the political and administrative dimension of the CIA’s activities in Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, Southern Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and elsewhere. It demonstrates that the planning and execution of covert action has changed over the course of time. It also assesses how effective covert action has been in accomplishing the USA’s foreign policy objectives. Gregory Treverton raises here a number of questions of crucial importance in a democracy. How, in an open society, can covert action be kept secret? To whom should intelligence agencies be accountable? What role should elected officials play? And, with the wisdom of hindsight: has the CIA’s poor record of real long-term achievement - and lack of control over operations once started—justified the subversion of the legal process which often flows from intelligence operations? As well as providing fascinating insights into how the CIA works, this book offers a timely explanation of official thinking on Iran/Contragate, and why the Reagan administration operated independently of the CIA when dealing with Iran. This is a key work on one of the most controversial subjects in international relations, written by an expert with an insider’s knowledge.

The Victorian encounter with Marx : a study of Ernest Belfort Bax Cowley, John I. B. Tauris, London, New York, new York, England, 1992

"Ernest Belfort Bax was among the most original and gifted of the first generation of Marxists in Victorian England, and an intimate of luminaries such as William Morris, who considered him the philosopher of the movement. He had first-hand experience of the 19th century tradition of German philosophy which so profoundly influenced Karl Marx, and was a close friend of Engels. Bax was a prolific writer and speaker, the organizer of the Second International, leader of English Social Democracy and a colleague of all the leading European social democratic intellectuals of his time. This biography of Bax sets him in his privileged Victorian middle-class context, analyzes his political and intellectual development, and assesses his achievements and their significance for his own time and later."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Islam and modernity : muslim and intellectuals respond Cooper, John (editor);Nettler, Ronald L (editor);Mahmoud, Mohamed (editor) I.B. Tauris ; Distributed by St. Martin's Press, London ; New York New York, 1998

"This text presents the ideas of a number of contemporary modernist and liberal Muslim thinkers, exposing an important intellectual current in Islamic thought. These figures work mainly outside "established" institutional, political and religious frameworks, whilst relying heavily on traditional sources. Responding to the challenges brought by colonialism and modernization, they propose new conceptions and interpretations of Islam consonant with the age. Although their specific concerns and emphases vary, their thought shares certain features; a reconsideration of the relation between religion and politics; an easy incorporation of modern Western ideas; a reinterpretaton of sacred sources which highlights their more universalist elements; and a conception of Islam as moving with historical change whilst remaining rooted in Qur'anic values. Disputing the widespread view of modern Islam as essentially political, the book shows a quite different face of the tradition."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Through a series of chronological essays surveying the important period of 1500 to 1707, The New British History explores new perspectives on the Atlantic Archipelago.

This volume, supplemented by a detailed historiographical introduction by Glenn Burgess, contains a range of thematic essays exploring concepts of British national identity and whether a ‘British’ approach to the history can be extended to social and economic history.

Standing Trial: Law and the Person in the Modern Middle East (Islamic Mediterranean Series) Dupret, Baudouin (editor) I.B. Tauris; Distributed in the United States by Palgrave Macmillan, The Islamic Mediterranean 6, 2004

'Standing Trial' focuses on the relationship between the law and the concept of the person in modern Arab societies. It directly addresses the questions of continuities, transformations and ruptures of such notions. Law performs a central function in revealing social and historical dynamics and in being itself a tool of its implementation. The introduction of Western-style legal systems partially led to a transposition of characteristics of centrality, individualism and secularism. 'Standing' Trial is the first truly interdisciplinary study of its subject, combining legal, historical and socio-legal perspectives. It is a highly original and important contribution to the study both of the language of law and the history of law in the Middle East. Contributors include Khaled Fahmy, Mohamed Nachi, Armando Salvatore, Oussama Arabi and Maurits Berger. --Bloomsbury Publishing.

Beyond the Huddled Masses: American Immigration and the Treaty of Versailles (International Library of Twentieth Century History) Allerfeldt, Kristofer I.B. Tauris ; In the United States of America and Canada distributed by Palgrave Macmillan, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2006

"This work uncovers the human history underlying the state actions on immigration. It is a vivid and varied new look at some of the most shaping forces in American history and identity, and offers important new perspective on early twentieth century American-European relations. How did American isolationism after the Treaty of Versailles, accentuated by stringent immigration restrictions predominantly against Asians and Europeans, work to shape American identity? "Beyond the Huddled Masses" is a vivid look at the connection between the results of the Paris Peace Conference and the Immigration Acts of 1921 and 1924. Kristofer Allerfeldt identifies the threads of nativism, anti-Bolshevism, self-determination and fear that ran through America's participation in the Paris Peace Conference and then manifested themselves openly through the Immigration Acts. He taps into the early twentieth century American psyche to explore the rationalisation for the extreme policies of isolationism that so characterised the inter-war years in the United States."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

The fourth volume of the Anthology of Philosophy in Persia deals with one of the richest and yet least known periods of philosophical life in Persia, the centuries between the seventh/thirteenth century, that saw the eclipse of the school of Khorosan, and the tenth/sixteenth century that coincided with the rise of the Safavids. The main schools dealt with in this volume are the Peripatetic (mashshaʾi) School, the School of Illumination (ishraq) of Suhrawardi, and various forms of philosophical Sufism, especially the school of Ibn ‘Arabi, that had its origins in the works of Ghazzali and ‘Ayn al-Qudat Hamadani. This period was also notable for the philosopher-scientists such as Nasir al-Din Tusi and Qutb al-Din Shirazi.

Nuclear Inertia: US Nuclear Weapons Policy After the Cold War (Library of International Relations) Sauer, Tom I.B. Tauris ; Distributed in the U.S.A. by Palgrave Macmillan, 1, 2005

"The first book to study post-Cold War U.S. nuclear weapons policy. It is based on extensive original research with dozens of the key players, and sheds important new light US foreign policy. "Nuclear Inertia" examines why, despite the Cold War having ended more than ten years ago, the US still maintains an arsenal of over 10 000 nuclear warheads. Most explanations for this are to be found not in the structure of the international system but in domestic politics. Tom Sauer ascribes the lack of change to bureaucratic resistance, dogmatic thinking and lack of political leadership. Clinton tried to change US policy by initiating the 1993-1994 Nuclear Posture Review but was blocked by bureaucratic opposition. Sauer suggests that this points to a lack of civilian control over the military during the Clinton administration."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Art Beyond Representation : The Performative Power of the Image Bolt, Barbara I.B. Tauris; Bloomsbury, Bloomsbury UK, London, 2004

Refuting the assumption that art is a representational practice, Bolt’s striking argument engages with the work of Heidegger, Deleuze and Guattari, C.S.Peirce and Judith Butler to argue for a performative relationship between art and artist. Drawing on themes as diverse as the work of Cézanne and of Francis Bacon, the transubstantiation of the Catholic sacrament and Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, she challenges the metaphor of light as enlightenment, reconceiving this ‘revealing’ light as the blinding ‘glare’ of the Australian sun, and suggests that too much ‘light’ may in fact reveal nothing. This stimulating book questions many of the fundamental assumptions ingrained in us about the nature of art.

"The French nuclear testing programme in the South Pacific attracted worldwide condemnation, providing a rare opportunity for the independence movement in French Polynesia to reach the international stage. The Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Movement, formed in 1975, is a loose coalition of non-governmental organizations based in the region receiving financial support from the United States and Europe. This study brings together topics in international relations and contemporary politics. These include nuclear testing and non-proliferation, the aftermath of colonialism and the independence movement, and the wider ramifications affecting regional Pacific politics, the European Union, Australisia and the United States."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Since 1989, Central and Eastern European economies have undergone a transition from highly centralized state socialism to market economies. This text analyzes the changing role of tourism throughout this process of transformation in Czechoslovakia and in the two independent Czech and Slovak Republics which emerged in 1993. Williams (Exeter) and Balaz (Bratislava) discuss the roles of interventionism, internationalization, and privatization in this segment of the economy. Distributed by Palgrave. Annotation c.
