European Union Foreign Policy

European Union Foreign Policy

C. Bickerton

Palgrave Macmillan
2011
sidottu
Scholars and policymakers in EU foreign policy lament the EU's inability to assert itself on the world stage. This book explains this weakness by arguing that EU foreign policy is burdened by various internal functions, and systemizes the analysis of internal functionality, pushing the study beyond the concern with effectiveness.

The Illusion of Victory

The Illusion of Victory

Ian J. Bickerton

Melbourne University Press
2011
nidottu
The Illusion of Victory demonstrates that most of the rewards of victory in modern warfare are either exaggerated or false. When the ostensible benefits of victory are examined a generation after a war, it becomes inescapably evident that the defeated belligerent rarely conforms to the demands and expectations of the victor. Consequently, long-term political and military stability is denied to both the victorious power and to the defeated one. As a result, neither victory nor defeat deter further outbreaks of war. This sobering reality is increasingly the case in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ian Bickerton persuasively argues that as the rhetoric of victory becomes more hollow all countries must adopt creative new approaches to resolving disputes.

A History of the Arab–Israeli Conflict

A History of the Arab–Israeli Conflict

Ian J. Bickerton; Carla L. Klausner

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
nidottu
Comprehensive and analytical, A History of the Arab–Israeli Conflict presents a balanced and impartial overview of this centuries-old struggle. Taking a clear and chronological approach to this complex subject, and placing events in the context of their longer-term histories, Ian J. Bickerton and Carla L. Klausner examine the issues and themes that have characterized and defined the conflict over the course of its history, bringing the coverage up to date with a twenty-first-century perspective. Starting in the nineteenth century, the book moves through the British Mandate, World War II, and the proclamation of the state of Israel, the widening and deepening conflict and attempts at a peace process, the impacts of 9/11 and the Arab Spring, and finally it discusses events to the end of 2021. In a completely revised Conclusion the authors examine how we interpret many of the startling, rapidly changing, and somewhat unpredictable events of the last five years. Illustrated throughout with numerous photographs, updated maps, tables, and chronologies for each chapter, together with extensive relevant and up-to-date documentary sources, further reading, and a glossary of key terms, it is the ideal textbook for all students of the history of the modern Middle East.

The Arab-Israeli Conflict

The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Ian J. Bickerton

Reaktion Books
2009
nidottu
Though more than sixty years have passed since the signing of the proclamation of the State of Israel, the impact of that epochal event continues to shape the political policies and public opinion of not only the Middle East but much of the world. The consequent conflict between Arabs and Israelis for sovereignty over the land of Palestine has been one of the most bloody, intractable and drawn-out of modern times. It continues today in cycles of aggressive violence followed by temporary and tenuous ceasefires that are marked and complicated by resolute opinions and fractious religious ideologies. In this timely analysis, noted military historian Ian J. Bickerton cuts through the complex perspectives in order to explain this struggle in objective detail, describing its history from the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire following World War I to the present day.In concise and clear prose, Bickerton argues that the present problem can be traced to the fact that each side is trapped by visions of their past from which they seem unable to break free. This attachment and reaction to history has negatively influenced the decision-making of Arabs and Israelis since 1948. Ultimately, Bickerton insists that the use of armed force has not, and will not, resolve the issues that have divided Israelis and Arabs.The Arab-Israeli Conflict is a plea for reasoned diplomacy in a situation that has been dominated by extreme violence. This book will appeal to a wide general audience seeking a balanced understanding of this enduring struggle that still dominates headlines.

Italy in the American Imagination

Italy in the American Imagination

Ian J. Bickerton

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
It is almost impossible to imagine the United States without making reference to Italy. There is scarcely any aspect of American culture untouched by Italy—its history, art, architecture, fashion, film, music, the mafia, or even more viscerally its food. Italy occupies a space of near mythical proportion in the American imagination. When many Americans think of, or dream about and imagine, the good life, how and where they would like to live, they think most often of Italy; the beauty, the life-style, the romance, the excitement and sense of adventure that Italy offers.By looking at the fluid and multi-dimensional imaginative interactions Americans have with Italian culture and society, this comprehensive and robust volume offers a new and novel way of exploring the influence of Italy upon the United States. University of New South Wales historian Ian James Bickerton argues that if we wish to understand the United States, and how Americans define themselves and their nation, it is vital to examine how they imagine themselves, and he demonstrates that throughout U.S. history one of the most powerful stimulants shaping the imaginary world of Americans has been Italy.

As ludic and nonauthoritarian as John Baldessari's art, this new monograph on the "father of conceptual art" is dedicated to his practice as an artist and a teacher, and the many ways in which they intertwine. Having been trained as an arts educator, John Baldessari (born 1931) is renowned for his work as much as for his innovative class at CalArts, Los Angeles, where he has formed many generations of artists and helped shape the West Coast art scene. Organized alphabetically, Learning to Read with John Baldessari--which accompanies a retrospective at Museo Jumex, Mexico City--includes an essay on the artist's approaches to art-making and teaching; a biography of the artist as a teacher; artworks reproduced thematically; and stories and anecdotes from former students such as Liz Craft, Ed Henderson, Matt Mullican, Tony Oursler and David Salle, about their years at CalArts.

The Transmission of Culture in Western Europe, 1750-1850

The Transmission of Culture in Western Europe, 1750-1850

Judith K. Proud; David Bickerton

Verlag Peter Lang
1999
nidottu
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Geneva was a major crossroads for European cultural exchanges. Its complex linguistic environment, growing anglophilia, renowned philosophical and religious heritage, and increasing stature in the new sciences, made this small city into a market-place for ideas and information as well as for watches and wheat. The foundation in 1796 of a "Bibliotheque britannique," which would itself become a formidable encyclopedia of scientific, literary and agronomic knowledge, characterises Geneva's role as cultural agent. This was celebrated in September 1996 at Dartington in England when an international group of scholars met to examine the "Bibliotheque britannique's" historical role, its dissemination of the works of Jeremy Bentham and Jane Austen, and to place its achievements within a broader context. The papers selected for publication examine not only the "Bibliotheque britannique" but also the role of contemporary moralising and didactic literature, women's reading and their writings, the interplay of influences in the world of science, the eighteenth-century world of journalism and journalists, and the all-pervasive impact of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Geneva's polymathic son, upon thought, botany, music, and his own posterity."
