"Noam Chomsky is a pioneering scholar in the field of linguistics, but he is better known as a public intellectual: an iconoclastic, radical critic of US politics and foreign policy. Chomsky's Challenge examines most of the major subjects Chomsky has dealt with in his nearly half century of intellectual activism--the Vietnam War, America's broader international role (especially its interventions in the Third World), the structure of power in American politics, the role of the media and of intellectuals in forming public opinion, and American foreign policy in the post-Cold War world. Chomsky is as controversial as he is influential. Admirers see him as a courageous teller of unpleasant truths about political power and those who wield it in the United States. Critics view him as a propagandist and ideologue who sees only black and white where there are multiple shades of gray. While Chomsky's fans tend to view him uncritically, his critics often don't take him seriously. Unlike any previous work, this book takes Chomsky seriously while treating him critically. The author gives Chomsky credit for valuable contributions to our understanding of the contemporary political world, but spares no criticism of the serious deficiencies he sees in Chomsky's political analyses"-- ""Assesses Noam Chomsky as a political analyst and dissenting public intellectual. Examines most of Chomsky's major writings since the Vietnam War, on topics including America's other interventions in the Third World, the structure of power in American politics, the role of the media and of intellectuals in forming public opinion, and American foreign policy since the Cold War"--Provided by publisher"--

The Chivalric Turn examines the medieval obsession with defining and practising superior conduct, and the social consequences that followed from it. Historians since the seventeenth century have tended to understand medieval conduct through the eyes of the writers of the Enlightenment, viewing superior conduct as 'knightly' behaviour, and categorising it as chivalry. Using, for the first time, the full range of the considerable twelfth- and thirteenth-century literature on conduct in the European vernaculars and in Latin, The Chivalric Turn describes and defines what superior lay conduct was in European society before chivalry, and maps how and why chivalry emerged and redefined superior conduct in the last generation of the twelfth century. The emergence of chivalry was only one part of a major social change, because it changed how people understood the concept of nobility, which had consequences for the medieval understanding of gender, social class, violence, and the limits of law

Le développement de la Chine, sur la scène internationale, dans l’économie mondiale et dans bien d’autres domaines encore, est un phénomène très commenté mais encore mal appréhendé à bien des égards. Cette recherche vise à améliorer la compréhension que l’on possède de l’ascension chinoise en analysant l’un de ses aspects : la relation que la Chine entretient avec l’Asie du Sud-Est, ainsi que la place que cette dernière occupe dans son développement. Trois facettes de cette relation sont abordées dans cette étude : l’économie, la défense et la puissance douce chinoise. Les résultats obtenus à l’issue de ce travail révèlent d’une part que l’Asie du Sud-Est est d’une importance capitale pour la Chine, et d’autre part que leur relation est marquée par une forte interdépendance. Cette étude démontre aussi que Pékin déploie beaucoup d’énergie pour contrôler, influencer ou diriger l’Asie du Sud-Est. La somme des échecs et des réussites de cette stratégie laisse à penser qu’il reste une marge avant l’avènement d’une hégémonie chinoise totale en Asie du Sud-Est. The development of China on the international stage, in the world economy and in various other areas has been discussed many times but remains a misapprehended phenomenon on many levels. This research aims for a better understanding of China’s rise to power by analyzing one of its key aspects: The relationship between China and Southeast Asia and the role it has been playing in China’s development. The present work will focus on three aspects of the relationship: economy, defence, and China’s soft power. The results of this study show that Southeast Asia is of paramount importance for China and that the relationship between the two actors is defined by a strong interdependence. This study also demonstrates that Beijing allocates a lot of resources towards controlling, influencing or governing Southeast Asia. The sum total of the successes and failures of China’s strategy suggests that a total Chinese hegemony over Southeast Asia is not yet imminent.

Wie entstehen dominante politische Sprach- und Denkmuster und wie hängen sie mit den gesellschaftlichen Machtverhältnissen zusammen? Diesen Fragen nach dem Funktionieren diskursiver Hegemonien will der vorliegende Band unter der Verknüpfung von Politik- und Diskurswissenschaft auf den Grund gehen. Anhand der Untersuchung des hegemonialen Projekts »Soziale Marktwirtschaft« werden die politisch-diskursiven Charakteristika und Strategien erfolgreicher Hegemonien rekonstruiert. Zudem veranschaulicht die exemplarische Analyse des westdeutschen wirtschaftspolitischen Diskurses der Nachkriegsjahre, wie die Politikwissenschaft von diskurswissenschaftlicher Forschung profitieren kann.
