Abstract

Qu'est-ce qu'un corps? Ce livre s'attache d'avantage à se poser cette question qu'à y repondre. L'ouvrage propose de complexifier quelques lieux communs à diverses echelles de proximite de cet assemblage materiel qu'est le corps. Ceci permet d'integrer pleinement les objets, atmospheres et autres corps environnant celui-ci afin de proposer une lecture politique de leurs relations volontaires et fortuites. Du sweatshirt à capuche porte par Trayvon Martin lorsqu'il se fit tuer dans la banlieue de Miami Gardens, Florida, lorsqu'il se fit tuer, aux rues new-yorkaises durant Occupy Wall Street, en passant par le mur d'apartheid en Palestine, ce livre progresse par une succession d'exemples illustrant l'hypothese selon laquelle les corps et les objets de toutes tailles entretiennent necessairement des rapports politiques entre eux.Florida, aux rues new-yorkaises durant Occupy Wall Street, en passant par le mur d'apartheid en Palestine, ce livre progresse par une succession d'exemples illustrant l'hypothese selon laquelle les corps et les objets de toutes tailles entretiennent necessairement des rapports politiques entre eux. What is a body? This book is more invested in raising the question than in offering a definitive answer. Instead, it questions some stereotypes concerning structures located at various degrees of proximity to the body's material assemblage, allowing a better integration of the surrounding objects, atmosphere and other bodies and proposing a political reading of their relationship to the body, whether deliberate or accidental. From the hoodie that Trayvon Martin wore when he was killed in the suburbs of Miami Gardens, Florida, to the streets of New York City during Occupy Wall Street and the apartheid wall in Palestine, this book moves through a series of episodes that illustrate how bodies and objects of all sizes are enmeshed in deeply entangled political relationships.

Abstract

The importance of international politics in Niccolò Machiavelli's thought cannot be denied. Although the familiar ideas expressed in the Prince and the Discourses are obviously relevant, the Art of War, the History of Florence, the dispatches that he wrote during his diplomatic missions, several minor political writings, and the private letters contain a number of additional insights and observations that refine and enrich his views. Thisanthology gathers together for the first time all of Machiavelli's writing on international affairs. About 60 excerpts are organized around key themes, such a

Abstract

The study of international relations has changed rapidly in recent years. Firstly as a consequence of major political and economic change - the end of the cold war and the fall of communism, the resurgence of nationalism, terrorism and forms of fundamentalism, globalization - and secondly, linked with these developments, because of the vitality of the discipline, with ongoing debates on the fundamental paradigms for the understanding of international relations and the emergence of the perspectives of feminism, postmodernism, constructivism and critical theory.The Routledge Encycl

Abstract

The End of Certainty is a magical realist book on world politics. Stephen Chan takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through how we can establish a new kind of international relations and construct a common future for the planet. Chan argues that the certainties of singular traditions of philosophy have failed to help us understand power shifts and struggles in an endlessly diverse world. You'll never think about international politics in quite the same way again.

Abstract

"Seeking Order in Anarchy offers insights into both the theoretical foundations and the real-world outcomes of multilateralism in world affairs. Recognizing that Tom Keating's theories, though rooted in Canadian foreign policy, have a broader application in international relations, Robert W. Murray has assembled an array of interpretations of multilateralism and case studies examining its practical effects. Drawing from the insights of fourteen noted scholars and featuring an essay from Tom Keating himself, the volume examines the conditions that encourage states to adopt multilateral strategies, and the consequences of doing so in the context of increasingly complex global politics. Seeking Order in Anarchy is an important book for scholars, graduate students, policy makers, and anyone interested in how multilateralism functions in today's world."--
