White City, Black City
'Gripping' - Economist'A fascinating exposé' - Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks'Path-breaking and brilliant' - Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture and author of Hollow LandTel Aviv, the Zionist project's 'White City', is said to have risen from the sands of the desert. Acclaimed worldwide for its architectural heritage and gleaming Bauhaus-inspired Modernism, it is ostensibly designed to be a safe home for the Jewish people. However, the reality of the city's establishment was very different. Hidden below its foundations are the remains of Jaffa – the 'Black City', a Palestinian city that was obliterated to make way for European-style architecture at the heart of a newly-formed Israel. Both a gripping narrative and a unique architectural record, White City, Black City shows that cities are made not only of stones and concrete but also of stories and histories – victors and losers, predator and prey. This new edition contains a postscript reflecting on the destruction of the Gaza Strip.

Comparative Foreign Policy
?Fills a void in the comparative study offoreign policy?. Jesse?s book systematically analyzes thediffering foreign policies of states, allowing [students] to assess thepractical decisions made by states and their foreign policy decisionmakers??Timothy J. White, Xavier University"Neal Jesse''s book stands out within the study of comparative foreign policy, providing an ''outside in'' rather than ''inside out'' take on how states formulate and pursue their foreign policy objectives. Jesse places a premium on the rank hierarchy of states as a conditioning factor that shapes not only behaviors but also interests. The result is a rich depiction of how the prevailing global order affects the conduct of foreign policy across a cross-section of states." ?Michael Butler, Clark UniversityClearly written, authoritative, pedagogically sound ... This new text effectively links cases and theory to provide students with a thorough understanding of the ways that foreign policy is crafted and carried out in diverse countries around the world. Grounding his approach in dominant IR theories?and ranging from great powers to small states?Neal Jesse provides the comparative perspective needed to make clear the connections between theory and practice in the conduct of foreign affairs.CONTENTS: Comparative Foreign Policy.THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS.Understanding Foreign Policy: Theories and Concepts.A Three-Theory Approach: Realism, Domestic Factors, and Social Constructivism.Power and Capabilities: The Role of State Size.MAKING FOREIGN POLICY.Great Powers: Foreign Policy from a Position of Global Strength.Large Powers: Foreign Policy from a Position of Regional Strength.Middle Powers: Foreign Policy from a Position of Strengths and Weaknesses.Small States: Foreign Policy from a Position of Weakness.CONCLUSION.Studying Foreign Policy Behavior in Context.
Co je to jazyk? - Studie z filozofie lingvistiky
Lingvistika se často snaží prezentovat jako přírodní věda. Tvrdí se, že uživatelé jazyka jsou řízeni slepým jazykovým instinktem, a předpokládá se, že jejich jazykové chování lze popsat čistě ve fyziologicko-biologických termínech. Esa Itkonen ve své knize ukazuje, že tato představa je zásadně mylná, a přichází s pozoruhodně komplexním a přesvědčivým vysvětlením toho, jak jazyk existuje a funguje. Jeho argumentace je založena na tom, že jazyk je souborem milionů tzv. sdílených, tříúrovňových znalostí existujících tzv. v intersubjektivitě myslí jeho uživatelů – a že kvůli tomu má inherentně normativní charakter. Tato originální konceptualizace jazyka pak autorovi v 28 krátkých kapitolách a 6 apendixech umožňuje přesvědčivě vysvětlit a usouvztažnit řadu nesnadných teoretických i praktických otázek, které jsou aktuální i v současném českém myšlení o jazyce a v české jazykové situaci – například že „to, co má být, nelze odvozovat z toho, co je“ (normativita), ale že „to, co je, může mít vliv na to, co má být“ (jazyková změna) nebo že „my nemáme jazyk, ale jazyk má nás“ (jazyková správnost).
SPQR Dějiny antického Říma
Starověký Řím má svůj význam. I dnes posuzujeme sami sebe na pozadí dějin této říše, jejích vojenských úspěchů i různých výstřelků a tehdejší debaty o občanství, terorismu a právech jedince ovlivňují to, jak uvažujeme o občanských svobodách.
SPQR pokrývá tisíc let římské historie a s barvitými detaily odhaluje, jak Řím vyrostl z bezvýznamné osady ve střední Itálii v první globální supervelmoc. Kromě toho vrhá nové světlo na římskou kulturu, od rozvodu vody po demokracii a od otroctví po migraci. Mary Beardová nám objasňuje, jak na sebe a na své úspěchy nahlíželi samotní Římané.
Discipleship: Start This Way
How might I start being an everyday Christian disciple?Discipleship: Start This Way is the first of two books which inform individuals or groups in being Christian disciples, with a distinctive emphasis on the difference discipleship makes in our everyday experience of life. It is both a resource for the person who wants to explore Christian discipleship and a tool for anyone wanting to support someone in beginning their faith journey. It unpacks the heart, foundations and daily attitude of a disciple through personal story and biblical teaching. Start This Way offers a clear and accessible explanation of what it looks and feels like to become a disciple and to start to live as one.
The Non-Aligned World
Non-Alignment is back with a vengeance. In recent years, the number of countries embracing this venerable approach to foreign policy has increased exponentially, making it a force to be reckoned with in world affairs. The war in Ukraine, the expansion of the BRICS group, and the conflict in Gaza have given a special impetus to its rise in a new form: Active Non-Alignment (ANA). This has gone hand-in-hand with the growing power and influence of the Global South in world politics. In this agenda-setting book, Jorge Heine, Carlos Fortin and Carlos Ominami, explain the origins, dynamics and significance of ANA, for the future of world order. Far from a transitory expression of the current state of affairs, they argue that ANA is here to stay. It provides a powerful guide to action and a fine-tuned compass for the Global Majority, that is, the countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to strike out and prioritize their national interests, whilst navigating the perilous waters of a troubled world in the throes of change.
The Case That Shook the Empire
30 April 1924. At the Court of the King’s Bench in London, the highest court in the Empire, an English judge and jury heard the case that would change the course of India’s history: Sir Michael O’Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab – and architect of the infamous Jallianwala Bagh massacre – had filed a defamation case against Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair for having published a book in which he referred to the atrocities committed by the Raj in Punjab.
The widely-reported trial – one of the longest in history – stunned a world that finally recognized some of the horrors being committed by the British in India.
Through reports of court proceedings along with a nuanced portrait of a complicated nationalist who believed in his principles above all else, The Case That Shook the Empire reveals, for the very first time, the real details of the fateful case that marked the defining moment in India’s struggle for Independence.

Walk This Way resources the reader for continuous life-long discipleship.

With a Foreword by the late Admiral Lord Hill-Norton, Former Chief of the Defence Staff; Technical Appendices; Glossary and Dramatis Personae.

Economic War
Winner of the US - Russia Relations Book Prize from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts UniversityVladimir Putin''s first invasion of Ukraine, in 2014, set off a global economic clash, as the West used its clout with international markets to deter and penalise the Kremlin. The battlelines of this ''war by other means'' traversed a series of deep economic connections, built up during Russia''s oil, gas and commodities boom: global equity and capital markets, and transnational kleptocracy. Maximilian Hess''s startling book lifts the lid on Russia''s response to Western sanctions, and the ensuing skirmishes in London''s courts, on Swiss trading desks and in boardrooms in New Delhi. He explores how pipelines, mines, loans and crypto-markets were weaponised. This narrative sets the stage for Putin''s all-out assault on Kyiv in February 2022, which turned financial, food and fuel markets into bona fide battlefields, bringing the fight into everyone''s home, from Pennsylvania to Pakistan. Rather than a ''new Cold War'', we are witnessing a conflict over finance, energy and capital markets. How such economic warfare turns out will determine the future of liberalism and democracy; it will also set a precedent for economic relations between the West and China, as the two diverge into rival spheres of influence and power.

Heidegger on Ethics
Heidegger is often understood to have forsaken the very possibility of ethics ? we find numerous variations of this view in the secondary literature. And yet, in Letter on Humanism, Heidegger stresses the importance of ethics (thought anew as originary ethics) in the context of the dangers posed by the technological age. In this Element, the author will try to unpack what Heidegger might have meant by this. Ultimately, his account of the essence of the human being will prove to be the key to understanding what he describes as ''originary ethics''.

Sovereign Reason
We often invoke broad ideas of reason, rationality, reasonableness, reasons, reasoning, and related concepts in commonsense and express their apparent authority through ordinary language and social practices. Despite what many philosophers, economists, psychologists, novelists, and others claim, the reason of everyday life is far more substantive than cold logic or calculating self-interest. Sovereign Reason: Autonomy and our Interests of Reason explores the idea that our power of reason includes an expansive set of governing abilities, substantive motives, and substantive principles. The volume develops this novel but partial theory of reason by drawing on a wide variety of Kant''s texts and highlighting themes in our ordinary ways of speaking and thinking. The unifying idea of the Sovereignty Conception of Reason is that of an autonomous person who governs herself by reason in all respects. The Sovereignty Conception of Reason dramatically extends traditional Kantian conceptions of rational self-governance. We are able to govern our many mental powers by reason, not just our ability to make choices, and we can legislate, execute, and adjudicate in ourselves all kinds of principles of reason, not just moral ones. The Sovereignty Conception of Reason holds that our reason includes substantive final interests in various things. Part of having a rational nature is to care about knowledge, enlightenment, explanation, happiness, the lives of persons, and solidarity for their own sake. These interests of reason do not depend on our natural desires but are instead constitutive of our power of reason itself. The Sovereignty Conception of Reason also holds that our reason includes a principle of justifiability according to which mental acts of all kinds, including choices, beliefs, desires, and even feelings, are required by reason if and because they are justifiable to rational people on the basis of their substantive interests of reason. Many specific requirements that we affirm in commonsense can be derived from this abstract principle. The book contrasts the Sovereignty Conception of Reason with other prominent theories and explores specific rational principles it grounds concerning beneficence, coercion, deception, friendship, expressing respect, education, envy, self-development, and others.
