Opis - The preparation of this book began in 2011 and was connected with the 5th centenary of establishing contacts between Europe and South-East Asia. After Goa was conquered by the Portuguese in 1509, Admiral Alfonso de Albuquerque, the Deputy Governor of Portuguese India sent an expedition to Malakka (today Malaysia) in 1511. On the 24th of August they seized the city and built the Famosa fortress. In the same year, the diplomat Duarte Fernandes reached Ayutthaya, with a mission for King Ramathibodi II, and established relations with the Kingdom of Siam. Irrespective of the political evaluation of the Portuguese mission, it must be said that the establishment of direct contacts between Europe and South-East Asia is one of the most important events in the political, economic and cultural history of the world. South-East Asia is a fascinating melting pot, where nations, tribes, ethnic minorities and colonies of migrants from different countries mix. These are, for example, Indians, the Chinese, and Europeans. People of many religions meet here - Hindis, Buddhists of various traditions, Muslims, Christians and believers in local faiths. It is this melting pot that saw the formation of the aristocratic court culture based on Indian patterns (Siam, Thailand, Cambodia), Confucian culture of administrative officials (Vietnam), the culture of religious centres, trade towns gradually brought under Chinese control, the colonial culture of Europeans, as well as the culture of the lower strata of society - folk and tribal culture. In such an environment an art historian, ethnologist, theater historian, or Orientalist can research works of art (including folk art and craft), as well as theatrical spectacles, their stylistic conventions, techniques of execution, iconography and symbolism, religious and social function, local elements and external influence. The present volume is the first, extensive collection of studies on the arts of South-East Asia published in Poland. It covers a huge area of almost the whole region and the contributors focus on various fields of culture, from visual arts and puppet theatre to travel accounts and epics.

East Asia and Iran Sanctions Springer, Berlin
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
This book explores how international sanctions on Iran reshaped the contours of East Asia's interactions with the Middle Eastern state. Almost all East Asian political entities, from the industrialized and developed nations of Japan and South Korea to the communist and developing countries of China and North Korea, have become major international partners of Iran over the past several decades. In addition, East Asian states were by and large thought to be among leading foreign beneficiaries of Iran sanctions, and the overall impacts of sanctions in transforming both the scope and size of their rather multifaceted connections to the Middle Eastern country have been consequential. Despite its significance, academic studies about this topic have remained sparse and scattered. This book aims to partially fill that research lacuna by surveying all relevant information and data available in the archives of several languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Persian. While the study strives to cover the entire sanctions period, most of the analysis focuses on the past one and half decades, when Iran came under the severest sets of international sanctions. It was during this particular time period that international quandary over the Iranian nuclear program led to a slew of far-reaching penalties and stringent restrictions levied against Iranians by the United Nations and the United States. These recent waves of international sanctions and limitations transformed many quintessential characteristics of East Asia's interactions with Iran. Such sanctions-induced critical developments and changes, moreover, are bound to play an instrumental role in the direction and volume of exchanges between East Asian states and Iran in the coming years and decades.

Asia's Reckoning Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
'Stunningly good' Michael Burleigh, Evening Standard, Books of the Year 2017 A Financial Times Best Book of 2017 'A shrewd and knowing book.' Robert D. Kaplan, The Wall Street Journal 'A compelling and impressive read.' The Economist 'Skillfully crafted and well-argued.' Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Financial Times 'An excellent modern history. . . . provides the context needed to make sense of the region's present and future.' Joyce Lau, South China Morning Post The dramatic story of the relationship between the world's three largest economies, one that is shaping the future of us all, by one of the foremost experts on east Asia For more than half a century, American power in the Pacific has successfully kept the peace. But it has also cemented the tensions in the toxic rivalry between China and Japan, consumed with endless history wars and entrenched political dynasties. Now, the combination of these forces with Donald Trump's unpredictable impulses and disdain for America's old alliances threatens to upend the region, and accelerate the unravelling of the postwar order. If the United States helped lay the postwar foundations for modern Asia, now the anchor of the global economy, Asia's Reckoning will reveal how that structure is now crumbling. With unrivalled access to archives in the US and Asia, as well as many of the major players in all three countries, Richard McGregor has written a tale which blends the tectonic shifts in diplomacy with the domestic political trends and personalities driving them. It is a story not only of an overstretched America, but also of the rise and fall and rise of the great powers of Asia. The confrontational course on which China and Japan have increasingly set themselves is no simple spat between neighbors. And the fallout would be a political and economic tsunami, affecting manufacturing centers, trade routes, and political capitals on every continent.

Postmarks from a Political Traveler Taylor & Francis Ltd
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
As spring and summer vacations beckon, this book invites and incites a whole new approach to travel. Postmarks from a Political Traveler is a series of travel recollections confronting the troubling topics of roots and racism, polar bears and climate change, anti-Americanism, and the war in Afghanistan. The book opens with the story of the author's experience growing up in the Jim Crow South, traveling in apartheid South Africa, and living in the post-apartheid South Africa of 2009 and 2010. It explores the not-so-dissimilar roots and racism of the United States and South Africa, as well as the cross-fertilization of ideas between the two countries. The next installment chronicles two trips to Churchill, Manitoba, where the planet's largest population of polar bears congregate each October. It recounts the dramatic changes that have occurred in both the human and the polar bear communities in just the last decade and shows how the bears have become an Arctic version of the proverbial canary in the coalmine. Then the book shifts to the author's journey back to the United States on a German freighter with a rabidly anti-American captain.Woven into this account of life aboard a long haul ship are threads of the author's travels and anti-American encounters over a decade of living in Africa and Asia. The book concludes with reflections on trips to Afghanistan in 2004 and in 2012, describing the effects of war and conflict zone politics on women, education, refugees, and aid workers. What ties these episodes together is the author's commitment to social justice and to changing the world through travel and writing-that is, affirming travel as a political act.

National Geographic Atlas of the Middle East, Second Edition National Geographic Society
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
"National Geographic's Atlas of the Middle East, Second Edition" addresses important geographical issues by first establishing its presentation of the region today, with core political and physical maps, including 20 individual country maps, each with an accompanying flag and profile section. Enhancing this country section, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan have been added to the Second Edition. The inclusion of these three newsworthy countries reflects the broader definition of the Middle East accepted by scholars to describe the area in a cultural sense - south central and southwest Asia and northeast Africa - that are predominantly Islamic. The city section is revamped and new cities are added: Istanbul (mega city with a population of over 10 million) and Dubai, U.A.E., which is quickly becoming the most modern city in the region and attracting thousands of tourists. Then a series of regional thematic maps follow.Included among these topics are: Population, Religion, Ethnic/Linguistic Groups, Oil (fields, ports, reserves, pipelines, consumers, export routes, etc.), Water, Agriculture and Industry, Wealth, Trade, Presence of International Corporations, Maritime Gates, and Military Forces. A history section follows the present-day Middle East with maps covering subjects such as, The Fertile Crescent, First Cities (Babylon, Ur, etc.), Greek and Roman Expansion, The Rise and Fall of the Ottoman Empire, 1914: On the Eve of War, Post World War I Middle East, The Rise of Nationalism, The Nile River, Jewish Immigration, Major Conflicts, and World Heritage and Holy Sites. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict spread including an in-depth timeline of 15 maps reflecting the pivotal events that shaped the region we know today...starting with the Israel of King David in 1000 B.C., to the Roman Empire in 63 B.C. - A.D. 395, to the Crusader Invasion, to the United Nations Partition Plan in 1947, to the future.Along with National Geographic's distinctive, descriptive, and clear political, physical and thematic maps, "The Atlas of the Middle East, Second Edition" will feature a variety of pictures, flags, fact boxes, and graphs that complement these powerful, newsworthy topics.A chronology/timeline and a place-name index accompanying the maps strengthen this new title as a valuable, timely, fascinating reference.

Archives of Empire v 1 From East India Company to Suez Canal Duke University Press
Inne 1
A rich collection of primary materials, the multivolume Archives of Empire provides a documentary history of nineteenth-century British imperialism. Barbara Harlow and Mia Carter have carefully selected a diverse range of texts that track the debates over imperialism in the ranks of the military, the corridors of political power, the lobbies of missionary organizations, the halls of royal geographic and ethnographic societies, the boardrooms of trading companies, the editorial offices of major newspapers, and farflung parts of the empire itself. Focusing on a particular region and historical period, each volume reveals the complexities of nineteenth-century colonialism and emphasizes its enduring relevance to the 'global markets' of the twenty-first century.This volume, From the East India Company to the Suez Canal, traces the beginnings of the British colonial enterprise in South Asia and the Middle East. It includes key texts from the era of the privately owned British East India Company through the crises that led to the company's takeover by the Crown in 1858 to the momentous opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. Government proclamations, military reports, and newspaper articles appear here alongside pieces by Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Benjamin Disraeli, and many others. A number of documents chronicle arguments between mercantilists and free trade advocates over the competing interests of the nation and the East India Company. Others provide accounts of imperial crises -- including the trial of Warren Hastings, the Indian Rebellion (Sepoy Mutiny), and the Arabi Uprising -- that highlight the human, political, and economic costs of imperial domination and control.

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia...

Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu.

The Great Power Competition Volume 1 Springer, Berlin
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Over the past decade, the international political system has come to be characterized as a Great Power Competition in which multiple would-be hegemons compete for power and influence. Instead of a global climate of unchallenged United States dominance, revisionist powers, notably China and Russia alongside other regional powers, are vying for dominance through political, military, and economic means. A critical battleground in the Great Power Competition is the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, and the Central Asia South Asia (CASA), also known as the Central Region. With the planned withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan, the U.S. has stated its intention of shifting attention away from the CASA Region in favor of a more isolationist foreign policy approach. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the implications for this shift related to regional diplomacy & politics, economic opportunities & rivalries, security considerations & interests, and the information environment. Amplifying the vital importance of success in the Central Region to U.S. prosperity and security, this volume advances dialogue in identifying key issues for stakeholders within and beyond the Central Region to gain a holistic perspective that better informs decision-making at various levels. This collection of work comes from scholars, strategic thinkers, and subject matter experts who participated in the Great Power Competition Conference hosted by the University of South Florida, in partnership with the National Defense University Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Strategies in January 2020.
