Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty Refugee Governance in Lebanon

Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty Refugee Governance in Lebanon

Lebanon hosts the highest number of refugees per capita worldwide and is central to European policies of outsourcing migration management. Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty is the first book to critically and comprehensively explore the parallels between the country’s engagement with the recent Syrian refugee influx and the more protracted Palestinian presence. Drawing on fieldwork qualitative case-studies and critical policy analysis it questions the dominant idea that the haphazardness inconsistency and fragmentation of refugee governance are only the result of forced displacement or host state fragility and the related capacity problems. It demonstrates that the endemic ambiguity that determines refugee governance also results from a lack of political will to create coherent and comprehensive rules of engagement to address refugee ‘crises. ’ Building on emerging literatures in the fields of critical refugee studies hybrid governance and ignorance studies it proposes an innovative conceptual framework to capture the spatial temporal and procedural dimensions of the uncertainty that refugees face and to tease out the strategic components of the reproduction and extension of such informality liminality and exceptionalism. In developing the notion of a ‘politics of uncertainty ’ ambiguity is explored as a component of a governmentality that enables the control exploitation and expulsion of refugees.

Mobility and Locative Media Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces

Mobility and Locative Media Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces

Mobilities has become an important framework to understand and analyze contemporary social spatial economic and political practices. Especially as mobile media become seamlessly integrated into transportation networks navigating urban spaces and connecting with social networks while on the move researchers need new approaches and methods to bring together mobilities with mobile communication and locative media. Mobile communication scholars have focused on cell phones often ignoring broader connections to urban spaces geography and locational media. As a result they emphasized virtual mobility and personalized communication as a way of disconnecting from place location and publics. The growing pervasiveness of location-aware technology urges us to rethink the intersection among location mobile technologies and mobility. Few studies have addressed the many transformations taking place in mobile sociality and in urban spatial processes through the appropriation of these technologies.

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance contributes theoretical and empirical insights to the existing knowledge on the scope challenges and results of post-conflict international state- and institution-building project focusing on post-war Kosovo. Post-war Kosovo is one of the high-profile cases of international intervention hosting a series of international missions besides a massive inflow of international aid technical assistance and foreign experts. Theoretically the book goes beyond the standard narrative of international top-down institution building by exploring how international and local factors interact bringing in the mediating role of local resistance and highlighting the hybridity of institutional change. Empirically the book tests those alternative explanations in key areas of institutional reform – municipal governance public administration normalization of relations with Serbia high education creation of armed forces the security sector and the hold of Salafi ideologies. The findings speak to timely and pertinent issues regarding the limits of international promotion of effective institutions; the mediating role of local agents; and the hybrid forms of institution-building taking shape in post-conflict Kosovo and similar post-war contexts more broadly. Addressing challenges of state-building at the intersection of international interventions local strategies of resistance and the hybridity of institution-building experience with institutional reforms in Kosovo and in post-conflict contexts more broadly International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance will be of great interest to scholars of international relations state building and post-conflict societies. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Southeast European and Black Sea Studies. | International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Positive Ethics in Economics Volume 14 Praxiology: The International Annual of Practical Philosophy and Methodology

Economics is often accused of being a-ethical-lacking a moral perspective-if not altogether immoral. Its detractors criticize economic models of pure and perfect competition and claim that economics should be concerned with social effects and strive to be equitable. Yet these critics fail to understand that the discipline has many dimensions. Economics has also developed a group of concerns directly related to ethics. The presence of practical ethics is evident in the economic analysis of behavior that incorporates ethical preference altruism and a responsible calculation based on norms. It is fair today that economics differentiates ethics from purely financial matters and the discipline can be associated with morality in man's daily life. Volume 14 of the distinguished Praxiology series examine the concept of positive ethics in economics. While normative ethics moralizes economics trying to render it more just positive ethics is first and foremost a model for the construction of theoretical economic reasoning: It reflects on ethical practices within economics and introduces a model of reasoning that takes individual ethical behavior and its aftereffects into account. The book is divided into three parts. In Altruism the contributors discuss the notion of unselfish concern for the welfare of others and its place in economic practice. In Commitment the authors discuss reason as being central to economic theory as well as the position of ethical behavior. In Responsibility the idea that man is not an island unto himself but a being involved in a set of relationships is examined. If a person is simultaneously responsible for himself and others then how far does his responsibility extend?Essays on Positive Ethics in Economics is thought-provoking volume that will be of interest to economists policymakers philosophers and students of ethics and morality. JÚr¶me Ballet is senior lecturer in economics at the University of Versailles and senior research fellow at the C3ED (Economics and Ethics Center for Environment and Development). He is the editor of the online journal Ethics and Economics and has published several books and articles on ethics and economics. Damien Bazin is a research fellow at the C3ED where his specialization is economic philosophy.

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups movable books have a little-known history as interactive narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words images and movable components they cross the borders between story toy and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular she examines turn-up books paper doll books and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies book history and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples she explores the interrelations among children interactive media and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital past and present. | Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Race Anthropology and Politics in the Work of Wifredo Lam

This book reinterprets Wifredo Lam’s work with particular attention to its political implications focusing on how these implications emerge from the artist’s critical engagement with 20th-century anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba including the witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and information collected from informants enhances the interpretive background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art. In the process Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban community as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture. | Race Anthropology and Politics in the Work of Wifredo Lam
