The Global Politics of Drug Control sets the drug problem into a theoretical framework which aids understanding of the phenomenon by focusing on changing international values and norms. In the early literature on drug use, drugs were considered primarily as a social problem and the focus was on seeking a national policy. However, in the 80s the problem was increasing, requiring international cooperation and action, bringing the concerned to the arena of international relations scholars. The book focuses on changing values and norms in the international community that allow the discipline of international relations to add something new to the current debate on the subject. This book should appeal to all those interested in the current discussions on the drug phenomenon as well as to students and academics in the area of international relations and related disciplines.

Racial and religious groups have played a key role in shaping the American West, yet scholars have for the most part ignored how race and religion have influenced regional identity. In this collection, eleven contributors explore the intersections of race, religion, and region to show how they transformed the West. From the Punjabi Mexican Americans of California to the European American shamans of Arizona to the Mexican Chinese of the borderlands, historical meanings of race in the American West are complex and are further complicated by religious identities. This book moves beyond familiar stereotypes to achieve a more nuanced understanding of race while also showing how ethnicity formed in conjunction with religious and regional identity. The chapters demonstrate how religion shaped cultural encounters, contributed to the construction of racial identities, and served as a motivating factor in the lives of historical actors. The opening chapters document how religion fostered community in Los Angeles in the first half of the twentieth century. The second section examines how physical encounters'such as those involving Chinese immigrants, Hermanos Penitentes, and Pueblo dancers'shaped religious and racial encounters in the West. The final essays investigate racial and religious identity among the Latter-day Saints and southern California Muslims. As these contributions clearly show, race, religion, and region are as critical as gender, sexuality, and class in understanding the melting pot that is the West. By depicting the West as a unique site for understanding race and religion, they open a new window on how we view all of America.

Peacemaking in the Middle Ages explores the making of peace in the late-twelfth and early thirteenth centuries based on the experiences of the kings of England and the kings of Denmark. From dealing with owing allegiance to powerful neighbours to conquering the ‘barbarians’, this book offers a vision of how relationships between rulers were regulated and maintained, and how rulers negotiated, resolved, avoided and enforced matters in dispute in a period before nation states and international law. This is the first full-length study in English of the principles and practice of peacemaking in the medieval period. Its findings have wider significance and applications, and numerous comparisons are drawn with the peacemaking activities of other western European rulers, in the medieval period and beyond. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval Europe, but also those with a more general interest in kingship, warfare, diplomacy and international relations.

Fængslets historie kan ikke skrives i ental; historien om fængslet og det fængslede menneske er ikke historien om én enkelt, ensartet institution, hvis rationale og nødvendighed har stået skrevet i sten siden menneskehedens begyndelse. Fængslets historie er snarere en myriade af historier, der tilsammen rummer det væld af måder, hvorpå indespærring, slavegørelse og afstraffelse af mennesker har fundet sted, er blevet praktiseret og retfærdiggjort af skiftende magthavere, samfund og politiske systemer.Denne udgivelse er en samling af nogle af de historier. Ved at udforske forskellige tiders idéer om fængslet kan vi nemlig nærme os vores egen tids syn på denne institution. Vi kan se den fra nye vinkler og vi kan genoverveje dets raison d’etre. For vores nedslag i fængslets historie viser, at retfærdighed – eller mangel på samme – kan tage mange former.
THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER M. is a startling look into the fascist mindset, a portrait of unrelenting determination, and an impeccable work of historical fiction. Italy is exhausted. Tired of the political class. Tired of the inept moderates and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that no longer seems to be working. While the leaders of the country have sat idly in the safety of parliament, achieving nothing, one man on the outside has risen to the top. He is a misfit par excellence, a protector of the demobilized, a lost drifter searching for the way. He speaks for the outcasts, the renegades and the ideologically pure. He is a former socialist leader ousted by his party, the director of a small opposition newspaper, a tireless political agitator. Like an animal, he can smell that change is coming. He is Benito Mussolini. M tells the story of the rise of fascism from within the mind of its founder. Rich in historical detail, and interspersed with real documents and sources, this is a masterful work of historical fiction with urgent resonance for our times

Poetry. Swinging between examination and revelation, Hannah Brooks-Motl's second collection of poems, M, holds a unique place in contemporary poetry, written almost as a document to chart the act of a writer reading. By transposing lines directly from the essays of Michel de Montaigne with her own, she creates a shimmering mirage that enables two distinct voices to blend with confidence and to question the steps we take to make sense of the world. That degree of ambition requires great care and thoroughness, the ability to see the past clearly in order to invent a skillfully considered and electric present. Blowing hot and cold with the same mouth The weapon of memory shattered the sun Lift your eyes to it In the venerable tradition of mining, Hannah Brooks-Motl engages the poetics of excavation, taking Montaigne's Essays as substrate. The 'M' of the title may be far removed, but his (and her) spirit holds sway via 'the burning light of the past' in 'the little way of adjacency.' Montaigne's 'very limits of the possible' lead onto a quiet exuberance in a poem, for example, where 'Invention got big / in the world / and bigger /... I made it // Wild with making' (this, on imagination). If Brooks-Motl's subtleties sometimes defy a quick 'get, ' they also persist in their nested reference, '...like an infant wall of belief / Climbing with ivy at night.' This is the 'great fond wager' of a rich and mysterious work.--Jean Day M may be for Montaigne, the sixteenth century essayist whose humanist imagination gives Brooks-Motl permission to look elsewhere, into the past for her poetic material, but M is also for 'mind, ' a place these poems love to dwell. As readers, we get to dwell there, too, trusting Brooks-Motl to sculpt with care and patience in order to offer a world that 'blooms and moves' more generously. These ambitious and gorgeous poems are continuously surprising, pushing language into a secret landscape, or a secret history of the intellect. Every turn of phrase, every figure and gesture flickers open, making manifest the intimate and precipitous experience of reading into and with the past, alongside its fragments and tendencies.--Juliana Leslie
