Abstract

A fascinating, bottom-up exploration of contemporary Russian politics that sheds new light on why Putin's grip on power is more fragile then we think What do ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why might their support now be faltering? Alive with the voices and experiences of ordinary Russians and elites alike, Sam Greene and Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of contemporary Russian politics. Telling the story of Putin's rule through pivotal episodes such as the aftermath of the "For Fair Elections" protests, the annexation of Crimea, and the War in Eastern Ukraine, Greene and Robertson draw on interviews, surveys, social media data, and leaked documents to reveal how hard Putin has to work to maintain broad popular support, while exposing the changing tactics that the Kremlin has used to bolster his popularity. Unearthing the ambitions, emotions, and divisions that fuel Russian politics, this book illuminates the crossroads to which Putin has led his country and shows why his rule is more fragile than it appears.

Abstract

La 4ème de couv. indique : "L'annexion de la Crimée par la Russie, son intervention en Syrie, l'affaire Skripal ont propulsé Moscou sur le devant de la scène. Elles ont aussi contribué à bouleverser le système international et le rôle que la Russie joue en son sein. L'annexion de la Crimée par la Russie, son intervention en Syrie, l'affaire Skripal ont propulsé Moscou sur le devant de la scène. Elles ont aussi contribué à bouleverser le système international et le rôle que la Russie joue en son sein. Du fait de sa politique, la Russie a perdu l'Ukraine et fragmenté l'espace postsoviétique qu'elle considère comme sa sphère d'influence, elle s'est aliénée une bonne partie de l'Occident, elle s'est engagée dans un incertain virage vers l'Asie, etc. Près de vingt ans après l'arrivée au pouvoir de Vladimir Poutine, ces événements relancent les interrogations sur les objectifs poursuivis par la Russie. Quels sont les facteurs qui déterminent ses actions extérieures ? Quelle est sa capacité à se remettre des bouleversements qu'elle a connus depuis 1991 ? Cet ouvrage se penche sur ces questions en accordant une attention particulière aux perceptions et aux représentations. Il explore la vision que la Russie a de l'étranger en la confrontant à la réalité de la place qu'elle tient sur la scène internationale ainsi qu'aux regards portés sur elle par le monde extérieur. En croisant ces différents regards, il a pour but de contribuer à la compréhension de la trajectoire russe."

Abstract

A vivid look at how India has developed the idea of entrepreneurial citizens as leaders mobilizing society and how people try to live that promiseCan entrepreneurs develop a nation, serve the poor, and pursue creative freedom, all while generating economic value? In Chasing Innovation, Lilly Irani shows the contradictions that arise as designers, engineers, and businesspeople frame development and governance as opportunities to innovate. Irani documents the rise of "entrepreneurial citizenship" in India over the past seventy years, demonstrating how a global ethos of development through design has come to shape state policy, economic investment, and the middle class in one of the world's fastest-growing nations.Drawing on her own professional experience as a Silicon Valley designer and nearly a decade of fieldwork following a Delhi design studio, Irani vividly chronicles the practices and mindsets that hold up professional design as the answer to the challenges of a country of more than one billion people, most of whom are poor. While discussions of entrepreneurial citizenship promise that Indian children can grow up to lead a nation aspiring to uplift the poor, in reality, social, economic, and political structures constrain whose enterprise, which hopes, and which needs can be seen as worthy of investment. In the process, Irani warns, powerful investors, philanthropies, and companies exploit citizens' social relations, empathy, and political hope in the quest to generate economic value. Irani argues that the move to recast social change as innovation, with innovators as heroes, frames others-craftspeople, workers, and activists-as of lower value, or even dangers to entrepreneurial forms of development.With meticulous historical context and compelling stories, Chasing Innovation lays bare how long-standing power hierarchies such as class, caste, language, and colonialism continue to shape opportunity in a world where good ideas supposedly rule all.

Abstract

In the post-Nuremberg era two of the most important developments in international criminal law are the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Created through UN Security Council resolutions, with specific mandates to prosecute those responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law, the ICTY and the ICTR played crucial roles in the development of international criminal law. Through a series of chapters written by leading authorities in the field, The Legacy of Ad Hoc Tribunals in International Criminal Law addresses the history of the ICTY and the ICTR, and the important aspects of the tribunals' accomplishments. From examining the groundwork laid by the ICTY and the ICTR for greater international attention to crimes against humanity to the establishment of the International Criminal Courts, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the impact and lasting roles of these tribunals.
