"Wow, ada bule!" kata lo setengah menjerit. Hayooo, ngaku deh kalau sebagai Warga Negara Indonesia yang genuine, pernah ada momen saat lo diam-diam melirik dan mendadak jaim tiap ada kaum bule berada di deket lo. Tahu, nggak? Diam-diam mereka juga sadar, tahu kalau lo lagi memperhatikan mereka. Gotcha! Sebenarnya ... di sini gue akan membocorkan tentang rahasia si bule dari perspektif gue, si bule itu sendiri. Gue bagi semua di sini karena gue suka sharing, gue nggak berharap apa-apa, tapi rasanya puas aja bisa bocor sebocor-bocornya di sini. Bisa jadi lo akan percaya mentah-mentah, bisa juga nggak, yang pasti lo bakal ketagihan dan pengin tahu lebih dan lebih. Hmmm … buat lo yang nggak berminat "mengintip" dunia bule seutuhnya, I don't think you should read this book. Gue nggak siap kalau hal-hal konyol dan lucu dan sedikit serius ini diketahui sama lo. Gue takut lo bakal gemas, gue takut masa depan gue terancam. So, please pikir-pikir ulang kalau mau baca buku ini. Your favorite bule, Christophe Dorigné-Thomson [Mizan, Bentang Pustaka, Bule, , Kisah, Indonesia]
Decades-long field research, investigate Chinese approach in Africa's development, reinterpret classics on industrial capitalism, and reveal effects of non-linear synergism
This book examines the changes in Indonesian foreign policy during the 21st century as it seeks to position itself as a great power in the Indo-Pacific region. The rise of 21st-century Indonesia is becoming a permanent fixture in both the domestic and global discourses. Though there has been an increasing level of discussion on Indonesia’s emerging power status, there has been little discussion on how the country is debating and signalling its new-found status. This book combines the insights of both neo-classical realism and social identity theory to discuss a reset in an emerging Indonesia’s foreign policy during the 21st century while emphasizing domestic drivers and constraints of it...
Why do leaders sometimes challenge, rather than accept, the international structures that surround their states? In The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru, Andrew Kennedy answers this question through in-depth studies of Chinese foreign policy under Mao Zedong and Indian foreign policy under Jawaharlal Nehru. Drawing on international relations theory and psychological research, Kennedy offers a new theoretical explanation for bold leadership in foreign policy, one that stresses the beliefs that leaders develop about the 'national efficacy' of their states. He shows how this approach illuminates several of Mao and Nehru's most important military and diplomatic decisions, drawing on archival evidence and primary source materials from China, India, the United States and the United Kingdom. A rare blend of theoretical innovation and historical scholarship, The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru is a fascinating portrait of how foreign policy decisions are made.

This book discusses Kenya’s transition from authoritarianism to more democratic forms of politics and its impact on Kenya’s multi-ethnic society. The author examines two significant questions: Why and how is ethnicity salient in Kenya’s transition from one-party rule to multiparty politics? What is the relationship between ethnic conflict and political liberalization? The project explains the perennial issues of political disorganization through state violence and ethnicization of politics, and considers the significance of the concept of justice in Kenya.
What is real? What can we know? How might we act? This book sets out to answer these fundamental philosophical questions in a radical and original theory of security for our times. Arguing that the concept of security in world politics has long been imprisoned by conservative thinking, Ken Booth explores security as a precious instrumental value which gives individuals and groups the opportunity to pursue the invention of humanity rather than live determined and diminished lives. Booth suggests that human society globally is facing a set of converging historical crises. He looks to critical social theory and radical international theory to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding the historical challenges facing global business-as-usual and for planning to reconstruct a more cosmopolitan future. Theory of World Security is a challenge both to well-established ways of thinking about security and alternative approaches within critical security studies.
