Questo volume raccoglie gli atti di un convegno di studi tenutosi all’Università di Napoli Federico II nell’ambito delle iniziative scientifiche del PRIN 2022 “Myths of Legitimations and Government of Difference in the European Imperial Regimes during the Modern and Contemporary Age”. I partecipanti sono stati invitati a offrire analisi relative a differenti aspetti di una delle relazioni centro-periferia più cruciali nella storia mondiale del XIX e XX secolo, vale a dire quella tra l’Impero britannico e il suo “gioiello della corona”, l’India. Attraverso un'esplorazione della natura dei conflitti nonché della collaborazione e della negoziazione tra diversi nazionalismi e l'Impero britannico, la Conferenza si è riproposta di chiarire cinque questioni principali: in che modo l'Impero britannico ha gestito la diversità dell'India e quale è stata la risposta della società indiana? La storiografia recente è andata oltre la caratterizzazione dicotomica del Raj britannico come progetto di “divide et impera” o come arbitro imparziale tra comunità in conflitto, come sosteneva il mito imperiale? In che misura i diversi nazionalismi furono un prodotto della contraddittoria modernizzazione dell’India, e questa a sua volta un effetto dell’incontro/scontro con l’Impero? In che senso i progetti nazionalisti dell’India erano genuinamente “nazionali” – anziché “comunalistici” – e in che modo sfidavano o rafforzavano la “politica della differenza” praticata dall’Impero? In che misura il movimento nazionalista indiano, nella sua varietà e interna conflittualità, e la risposta imperiale ad esso hanno plasmato i discorsi dell’India indipendente sull’identità nazionale e sui conflitti sociali? Più specificamente, i contributi raccolti nel volume sviluppano analisi raggruppate attorno a due prospettive. In primo luogo, l’esame comparativo dei diversi nazionalismi “religiosi”, in particolare indù e musulmano; e, in secondo luogo, il ruolo delle figure chiave che rappresentano i diversi filoni e le diverse fasi del movimento nazionalista indiano, da Gandhi a Tilak, da Bhagat Singh ad Ambedkar. I due saggi conclusivi mirano altresì a fornire al lettore elementi chiave del retroterra storiografico dei dibattiti e delle controversie in corso sulle relazioni indo-britanniche, focalizzandosi sul contributo e sull’evoluzione della cosiddetta “Scuola di Cambridge” di storia coloniale e globale.
"A superb book.…Mearsheimer has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the behavior of great powers."—Barry R. Posen, The National Interest The updated edition of this classic treatise on the behavior of great powers takes a penetrating look at the question likely to dominate international relations in the twenty-first century: Can China rise peacefully? In clear, eloquent prose, John Mearsheimer explains why the answer is no: a rising China will seek to dominate Asia, while the United States, determined to remain the world's sole regional hegemon, will go to great lengths to prevent that from happening. The tragedy of great power politics is inescapable.
This Open Access book explores heritage conservation ethics of post conflict and provides an important historical record of the possible reconstruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues, which was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in Danger in 2003 as “Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley”. With the condition that most surface of the original fragments of the Buddha statues were lost due to acts of deliberate destruction, this publication explores a reference point for conservation practitioners and policy makers around the world as they consider how to respond to on-going acts of destruction of cultural heritage. Whilst there has been an emerging debate to the ethics and nature of heritage reconstruction, this volume provides a plethora of ideas and approaches concerning the future treatment of the Bamiyan Buddha statues. It also addresses a number of fundamental questions on potential heritage reconstruction: how it will be done; who will decide; and what it should be done for. Moreover when it comes to the inscribed World Heritage properties, how can reconstructed heritage using non-original materials be considered to retain authenticity? With a view to serving as a precedent for potential decisions taken elsewhere in the world for cultural properties impacted by acts of violence and destruction, this volume introduces academic researches, experiences and observations of heritage conservation theory and practice of heritage reconstruction. It also addresses the issue not merely from the point of a material conservation philosophy but within the context of holistic strategies for the protection of human rights and promotion of peace building.
The Routledge Handbook of Translation History presents the first comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this multi-faceted disciplinary area and serves both as an introduction to carrying out research into translation and interpreting history and as a key point of reference for some of its main theoretical and methodological issues, interdisciplinary approaches, and research themes. The Handbook brings together 30 eminent international scholars from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, offering examples of the most innovative research while representing a wide range of approaches, themes, and cultural contexts. The Handbook is divided into four sections: the first looks at some key methodological and theoretical approaches; the second examines some of the key research areas that have developed an interdisciplinary dialogue with translation history; the third looks at translation history from the perspective of specific cultural and religious perspectives; and the fourth offers a selection of case studies on some of the key topics to have emerged in translation and interpreting history over the past 20 years. This Handbook is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of translation and interpreting history, translation theory, and related areas.

In the last years of World War II, Friedrich Hayek wrote 'The Road to Serfdom'. He warned the Allies that policy proposals which were being canvassed for the post-war world ran the risk of destroying the very freedom for which they were fighting. On the basis of 'as in war, so in peace', economists and others were arguing that the government should plan all economic activity. Such planning, Hayek argued, would be incompatible with liberty, and had been at the very heart of the movements that had established both communism and Nazism. On its publication in 1944, the book caused a sensation. Neither its British nor its American publisher could keep up with demand, owing to wartime paper rationing. Then, in 1945, Reader's Digest published 'The Road to Serfdom' as the condensed book in its April edition. For the first and still the only time, the condensed book was placed at the front of the magazine instead of the back. Hayek found himself a celebrity, addressing a mass market. The condensed edition was republished for the first time by the IEA in 1999 and has been reissued to meet the continuing demand for its enduringly relevant and accessible message.
Sanctions as War is the first critical analysis of economic sanctions from a global perspective. Featuring case studies from 11 sanctioned countries and theoretical essays, it will be of immediate interest to those interested in understanding how sanctions became the common sense of American foreign policy.
This volume explores how Gibraltarian Britishness was constructed over the course of the twentieth century. Today most Gibraltarians are fiercely proud of their Britishness, sometimes even describing themselves as ‘more British than the British’ and Gibraltar’s Chief Minister in 2018 announced in a radio interview that “We see the world through British eyes.” Yet well beyond the mid-twentieth century the inhabitants of the Rock were overwhelmingly Spanish speaking, had a high rate of intermarriage with Spaniards, and had strong class links and shared interests with their neighbours across the border. At the same time, Gibraltarians had a very clear secondary status with respect to UK British people. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, however, Gibraltarians speak more English than Spanish (with increasing English monolingualism), have full British citizenship and are no longer discriminated against based on their ethnicity; they see themselves as profoundly different culturally to Spanish people across the border. Bordering on Britishness explores and interrogates these changes and examines in depth the evolving relationship Gibraltarians have with Britishness. It also reflects on the profound changes Gibraltar is likely to experience because of Brexit when its border with Spain becomes an external EU border and the relative political strengths of Spain and the UK shift accordingly. If Gibraltarian Britishness has evolved in the past it is certain to evolve in the future and this volume raises the question of how this might change if the UK’s political and economic strength – especially with respect to Gibraltar – begins to wane.
