Africa in World Politics

Africa in World Politics

Timothy M. Shaw

Palgrave Macmillan
1989
sidottu
Africa's international relations are in a state of transition as the continent enters the last decade of the twentieth century. Old assumptions about development, security, diplomacy and dependence are being challenged by new realities of debt, drought, devaluation and destabilisation. Collective self-reliance remains elusive despite the demise of nationalism. This collection identifies the major issues in Africa's foreign and development policies and prospects as she enters the 1990s.

Twisting Arms and Flexing Muscles

Twisting Arms and Flexing Muscles

Timothy M. Shaw

CRC Press Inc
2017
sidottu
Military force is considered essentially a non-military pursuit in international relations, specifically, humanitarian intervention and peacebuilding. This coherent and interrelated study makes an important contribution to the existing literature by concentrating on empirical analyses. It is illustrated by key case studies which consider the complexities and dynamics associated with the application of military force. Of particular importance in this context is the emphasis on areas of recent crisis, such as Africa and the Balkans. The book considers whether our understanding of military force and its utility is outdated and finds that new considerations are required in order to capture the demands of the new environment and generate more appropriate and effective responses. The volume will have wide appeal, ranging from students and academic researchers to high-level policy makers and policy analysts in the military, governance and democratization and peacebuilding communities, as well as area-specialists and non-governmental organizations.

Comparative Regionalisms for Development in the 21st Century

Comparative Regionalisms for Development in the 21st Century

Timothy M. Shaw

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2013
sidottu
The global 'financial' crisis at the turn of the decade has accelerated changes in the relative standing of major regions. As both the US and Eurozone economies have confronted a series of setbacks and struggles to find their second breath, so Asia, Latin America and even Africa have picked up the slack and have been able to maintain high levels of growth. The resilience of the Global South questions whether we are witnessing an evolution towards a regional rebalancing or even global restructuring. This responding volume has four interrelated topics. It explores the transformation taking place in/with regard to the financing of development in the Global South and the apparition of new players in the field. The emergence of 'New Regionalisms' in the South and the usefulness of these experiences for comparative studies of regional relationship is explicated. It turns its attention to new forms of transnational governance that are emerging and the role that a novelty of actors play in this 'new multilateralism'. Finally, it looks into the implications of this trio of novel directions and players for analyses and policies.

The Political Economy of Foreign Policy in ECOWAS

The Political Economy of Foreign Policy in ECOWAS

Timothy M Shaw; Julius Emeka Okolo

Palgrave Macmillan
1994
nidottu
Both political economy and foreign policy have been transformed in the sixteen states of West Africa at the start of the 1990s because of interrelated external factors (end of the Cold War and start of a New International Division of Labour) and internal factors (national structural adjustment programmes). Sixteen leading analysts of new regional relations, of both cooperation and conflict, offer original revisionist insights into ECOWAS and ECOMOG, debt and democracy, reform and resistance. The mixture of case studies and comparative analyses constitutes a comprehensive overview of West African actors, issues, structures, perspectives and possibilities at the end of the century, with relevance for development discourses and directions in other peripheral regions. Together these offer timely redefinitions and reconceptualisations of central notions like civil society, diplomacy, foreign policy, peacekeeping, security, and self-reliance for political economies and cultures throughout the South.

Beyond Structural Adjustment in Africa

Beyond Structural Adjustment in Africa

Julius E. Nyang'oro; Timothy M. Shaw

Praeger Publishers Inc
1992
sidottu
This book brings into sharp focus the problems of development under conditions of structural adjustment and their relation to democratic change in Africa. Contributors to this volume are interested in specific countries such as Kenya, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, etc., but do bring to bear a rigorous comparative method which uses a political economy approach to the study of democracy, gender, industrialization, agriculture and the state. Its comparative approach in revisionist political economy allows for issues such as the new international division of labor to become central to the analysis of the relationship between developed and underdeveloped countries.The state-centric approach, although useful, may have missed important undercurrents in civil society. An analysis of development through the state's lenses has predominated the study of Africa. The approach by contributors in this volume is equally interested in the state but is also concerned with non-state actors. This dynamic approach characterizes few texts on Africa. This work should attract those who are concerned with African development, specifically, and international political economy in general.

Studies in the Economic History of Southern Africa

Studies in the Economic History of Southern Africa

Z.A. Konczacki; Jane L. Parpart; Timothy M. Shaw

Routledge
1990
nidottu
First Published in 1990. Both the history and the historiography of Southern Africa are in flux as the 1990s open. This collection of original studies by a new generation of Southern African scholars seeks to go beyond established analyses and debates. The current watershed challenges old and new orthodoxies alike. This collection treats the economic history of six states-Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe - and several sectors in the prevailing state capitalist political economies - agriculture and industry, land and labour. Whilst the book opens with a chapter on the regional iron age, its focus is mainly contemporary, yet recognising the continuing impacts of regional and global history. The authors adopt a variety of perspectives, reflective of their cases and contents, but the balance is towards critical and radical scholarship, reflecting Southern African realities as well as the contributors' generation. Common to the economic historians who have contributed to this volume is a realisation of the fading boundary between social and cultural history and their own disciplines. Increasingly perceptible also is the influence of political forces on the economic life of the region, whether it is the dependence of the Southern African 'periphery' on the yet more industrialised Western 'centre', or the relationship between the narrower 'periphery' of the Front-Line States vis-a-vis the 'centre' as represented by the power of South Africa. This theme of politics having its roots deeply embedded in the rich soil of the controversial socio-economic issues appears in a widened perspective in the companion collection of studies on the remaining countries of the region: South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.

Studies in the Economic History of Southern Africa

Z.A. Konczacki; Jane L. Parpart; Timothy M. Shaw

Routledge
1990
nidottu
First Published in 1990. Volume Two of Studies of Economic History of South Africa, looks at the Lesotho and Swaziland regions. The unfolding history and historiography of Southern Africa pose profound challenges for both analysis and praxis in the last decade of the twentieth century. These challenges are reflected in the range of investigations and contradictions, some of which are treated here, which together constitute an intellectual and political conjuncture. This collection of studies deals with the countries which were not included in the companion book on the economic history of the Front- Line States. Most of the space in the present volume is devoted to South Africa, primarily because of its importance to the region but also because contributions to the economic history of that country in English are very extensive as compared to the other states of Southern Africa.

Dynamics and Simulation of Flexible Rockets

Dynamics and Simulation of Flexible Rockets

Timothy M. Barrows; Jeb S. Orr

Academic Press Inc
2020
nidottu
Dynamics and Simulation of Flexible Rockets provides a full state, multiaxis treatment of launch vehicle flight mechanics and provides the state equations in a format that can be readily coded into a simulation environment. Various forms of the mass matrix for the vehicle dynamics are presented. The book also discusses important forms of coupling, such as between the nozzle motions and the flexible body.This book is designed to help practicing aerospace engineers create simulations that can accurately verify that a space launch vehicle will successfully perform its mission. Much of the open literature on rocket dynamics is based on analysis techniques developed during the Apollo program of the 1960s. Since that time, large-scale computational analysis techniques and improved methods for generating Finite Element Models (FEMs) have been developed. The art of the problem is to combine the FEM with dynamic models of separate elements such as sloshing fuel and moveable engine nozzles. The pitfalls that may occur when making this marriage are examined in detail.

Coming To

Coming To

Timothy M. Harrison

University of Chicago Press
2020
sidottu
In Coming To, Timothy M. Harrison uncovers the forgotten role of poetry in the history of the idea of consciousness. Drawing our attention to a sea change in the English seventeenth century, when, over the course of a half century, “conscience” made a sudden shift to “consciousness,” he traces a line that leads from the philosophy of René Descartes to the poetry of John Milton, from the prenatal memories of theologian Thomas Traherne to the unresolved perspective on natality, consciousness, and ethics in the philosophy of John Locke. Each of these figures responded to the first-person perspective by turning to the origins of how human thought began. Taken together, as Harrison shows, this unlikely group of thinkers sheds new light on the emergence of the concept of consciousness and the significance of human natality to central questions in the fields of literature, philosophy, and the history of science.

Tejano Religion and Ethnicity

Tejano Religion and Ethnicity

Timothy M. Matovina

University of Texas Press
1995
pokkari
While the flags of Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the United States successively flew over San Antonio, its Tejano community (Texans of Spanish or Mexican descent) formed a distinct ethnic identity that persisted despite rapid social and cultural changes. In this pioneering study, Timothy Matovina explores the central role of Tejano Catholicism in forging this unique identity and in binding the community together.The first book-length treatment of the historical role of religion in a Mexican-origin community in the United States, this study covers three distinct periods in the emergence of Tejano religious and ethnic identity: the Mexican period (1821-1836), the Texas Republic (1836-1845), and the first decade and a half after annexation into the United States (1845-1860). Matovina's research demonstrates how theories of unilateral assimilation are inadequate for understanding the Tejano community, especially in comparison with the experiences of European immigrants to the United States.As residents of the southwestern United States continue to sort out the legacy of U.S. territorial expansion in the nineteenth century, studies like this one offer crucial understanding of the survival and resilience of Latino cultures in the United States. Tejano Religion and Ethnicity will be of interest to a broad popular and scholarly audience.
