U.S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation Never Neutral

U. S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation is the first collection to examine the history of museums in the United States through the lens of the political and ideological underpinnings at the heart of exhibitions collecting and programming. Including contributions from historians art historians anthropologists academics and museum professionals the book argues that museums have always been embedded in the politics and culture of their time – whether that means a reification of hegemonic notions of race gender and progress or a challenge to those normative structures. Contributions probe the political nature of collection and interpretation as concept and practice and museum work as both reflective of and contributing to the politics and circulation of power in different historical moments. As a whole the volume provides detailed readings of museums that demonstrate the ways in which these trusted cultural institutions have intervened in shifting concepts of nation community indigeneity race citizenship inclusion identity localism and memory. U. S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation makes arguments about the historically and politically rooted nature of cultural production in museums that apply to institutions across the globe. It is essential reading for students and scholars of museum studies public history cultural history art history and memory. | U. S. Museum Histories and the Politics of Interpretation Never Neutral

Paris The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City

Paris: The Powers that Shaped the Medieval City considers the various forces – royal monastic and secular – that shaped the art architecture and topography of Paris between c. 1100 and c. 1500 a period in which Paris became one of the foremost metropolises in the West. The individual contributions written by an international group of scholars cover the subject from many different angles. They encompass wide-ranging case studies that address architecture manuscript illumination and stained glass as well as questions of liturgy religion and social life.

A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

The late David Wills spent a lifetime in the service of the so-called delinquent the misfit the maladjusted. He was the first Englishman to train as a psychiatric social worker and was well known for his books The Hawkspur Experiment The Barns Experiment etc. Originally published in 1970 this book describes another experiment with a hostel for boys leaving schools for maladjusted children and lacking any settled home from which to enter the community. It demonstrates once again David Wills’s conviction that the offender wants to be ‘good’ and will be helped by affection rather than by punishment. Yet it is obvious that the work was full of stress and that only people with some of the attributes of archangels could respond to the boys’ needs and remain in control of the situation. The book demonstrates the extent of deprivation suffered by such young people and that no ordinary hostels or lodgings will do if they are to be set upon a less turbulent course of life leading to truly adult independence. It added greatly to our understanding of the personalities experience of life and needs of maladjusted boys in their ‘teens at the time although the lessons drawn from it were disturbing in relation both to prevention and treatment. The penetration of David Wills’s assessment is beyond doubt and (as Dame Eileen Younghusband concludes in her Foreword) his book will give a great deal to those ‘trying in various capacities to help boys and girls who otherwise would grow into adulthood permanently handicapped emotionally and socially’. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1970. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

Neutrality in International Law From the Sixteenth Century to 1945

Neutrality is a legal relationship between a belligerent State and a State not participating in a war namely a neutral State. The law of neutrality is a body of rules and principles that regulates the legal relations of neutrality. The law of neutrality obliges neutral States to treat all belligerent States impartially and to abstain from providing military and other assistance to belligerents. The law of neutrality is a branch of international law that developed in the nineteenth century when international law allowed unlimited freedom of sovereign States to resort to war. Thus there has been much debate as to whether such a branch of law remains valid in modern international law which generally prohibits war and the use of force by States. While there has been much debate regarding the current status of neutrality in modern international law there is a general agreement among scholars as to the basic features of the traditional law of neutrality. Wani challenges the conventional understanding of the traditional neutrality by re-examining the historical development of the law of neutrality from the sixteenth century to 1945. The modification of the conventional understanding will provide a fundamentally new framework for discussing the current status of neutrality in modern international law. | Neutrality in International Law From the Sixteenth Century to 1945

Liberal Neutrality

Originally published in 1989 Liberal Neutrality approaches the recommendation of neutrality by confronting the abstract prescription (that we should be neutral) with the implications for particular people and institutions. This not only identifies what neutrality involves logically but also exposes the practical difficulties that may be encountered in pursuing it. In some cases such close examination shows that neutrality is not desirable and in others that it is attainable only within certain limits. Although neutrality has become a fashionable term in political theory this is the only volume to subject the idea to systematic scrutiny. It will be useful not only to specialists in diverse disciplines – political scientists philosophers sociologists lawyers and educationalists.

Cultural Pragmatism for US-China Relations Breaking the Gridlock and Co-creating Our Future

The Thucydides trap and a US-China face-off are not structurally inevitable; US-China relations are what the US and China make of them. Phua focuses on the ability to see US as US and China as China to trigger both countries’ cultural tendencies towards pragmatism. Phua examines China’s arduous journey to fit in the Westphalian system the deep cultural misunderstandings by the West of Sunzi’s The Art of War and attempts to offer an inside-out cultural synthesis of classical and modern Chinese thought as a proxy of their operational code beyond the standard clichés about Confucian and Daoist thought. He builds on Jervis’ perception and misperception as well as Alastair Johnston’s cultural realism. Readers will benefit from a culturally-Chinese western-educated and politically neutral understanding of China as China. An essential primer for academics practitioners and students of international relations diplomacy and Chinese culture. | Cultural Pragmatism for US-China Relations Breaking the Gridlock and Co-creating Our Future

Margins for Manoeuvre in Cold War Europe The Influence of Smaller Powers

The Cold War is conventionally regarded as a superpower conflict that dominated the shape of international relations between World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Given its holistic and nuanced intervention in studies of the Cold War this book will be instrumental for students of history international relations and political science. | Margins for Manoeuvre in Cold War Europe The Influence of Smaller Powers

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

We thank Ekman & Co AB and Gadelius Holding Ltd for their kind and generous support making this research available online for free. Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter’s 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden’s relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden militarily or economically. Nevertheless Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan’s surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality. | Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Revival: Society in the Making: Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75 (1979) Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75

This important book is the product of a remarkable experience. A sociologist domiciled in Hungary the author has intermittently taught and studied in France Britain and the United States. Few social scientists of the post-Second World War generation have had this range of experience. And as we know from the history of theoretical physics psychoanalysis economic and other fields Hungary is the incubator of great talents. A Society in the Making can be read on three levels: as a study of Hungarian social structure as a case-study in comparative social policy or as a contribution to the theory of social policy. As a study of Hungary the author's book is one of the small but growing number of analyses of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union which avoid denunciamentos and apologetics. It is a sympathetically critical account (as she says 'In social science there is no neutral act') from which much can be learned. | Revival: Society in the Making: Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75 (1979) Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75

Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Divided between two military alliances Europe has maintained stability based on political status quo and military power balance. However European states—including neutral and nonaligned countries—have felt a need for a common policy to guarantee their security and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) was convened to address this concern. Ten years later the authors of this study find that the outlines of a European security regime are indeed discernible. The conference in Helsinki initiated efforts for negotiated and controlled change in Europe. Contributors to this volume analyze the achievements of CSCE consider more recent models of collective or common security systems and deal with political and military processes at work in Europe as well as relationships with great powers and the Third World. The role of Western Europe and particularly Finland's role as an initiator of the CSCE process receives special attention. Documentation of the tenth anniversary meeting and the CSCE process in general are also included. | Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

The Arabafrican Connection Political And Economic Realities

Between June 1967 and the end of 1973 most independent Black African states abandoned their neutral position in the Middle East conflict cut their ties with Israel and gave full support to the political aims of the Arab states. Since the beginning of 1974 however and despite attempts by the Arabs to shield their new allies from the adverse effects of the 1973-74 world oil and economic crises the alliance has begun to fragment as the African states become transformed from partners to clients and dependents of the Arabs. This study examines the roots of the African conversion the nature of the evolving relationship between the African and Arab states and the reasons—economic and political—for the transformation of the alliance. Basic to that transformation the authors argue is a fundamental change in the international status and power of the Arab states a change that has led them to cast their lot with the industrialized First World rather than with the poorer less developed countries. | The Arabafrican Connection Political And Economic Realities
