Neurodegeneration: From Genetics to Molecules
Chronic degenerative diseases are one of the major public health problems, particularly those affecting the nervous system. They are characterized by the degeneration of specific cell populations that include several pathologies which contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Therefore, in recent years, the study of neuroscience has gained significant importance. Most of these neurodegenerative disorders are the result of a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors that generate progression and can even determine its severity. The presence of mutations in genes as LRRK2, SNCA, PARK7, PARK2 or PINK1 is associated with Parkinson's diseas...
Corruption, Anti-Corruption, Vigilance, and State Building from Early to Late Modern Times
Corruption, Anti-Corruption, Vigilance, and State Building from Early to Late Modern Times challenges current historiographical approaches, proposing new interpretations to rethink the relation between corruption and the socio-political and economic transformations since early globalisation. By adopting both transnational and long-term approaches, the book explores the historical dimension of notions such as accountability, transparency, and vigilance in their immediate political, social, and legal contexts. The starting point is to view corruption not as a moral category that emerged in 1789 to delegitimise past, foreign or present state systems, but as a constantly contested concept that must also be historicised in past societies. The collection revisits chronologies and examines different local, regional, and national frames, highlighting that the path to modernity was contested and affected by a variety of unique circumstances, such as revolutions and external political powers. Building on the latest research and offering new methods of inquiry, this book is a compelling resource for academics interested in political history and the history of corruption.
Jesuits and Asian Goods in the Iberian Empires, 1580–1700
This book analyzes the exchange relations between the colonies of the Iberian Empires, starting from two cities ports, Buenos Aires and Macau in the period 1580-1700. Agents, who were not professional traders such as the members of the Society of Jesus, and the circulation and consumption of Asian goods in the local populations of Buenos Aires and Macau, were analyzed. Both cases of study will show us how these non-state agents- the Jesuits- build their own networks and exchange channels to Chinese goods distribution (i.e silk, porcelain, musk, amber and others) between Asia and Latin American. This book intends to break with the local scheme of Jesuit studies in order to combine the local scale with analysis of inter-regional processes on a continental scale, from a comparative perspective.
International Recognition
International recognition, which lies at the heart of many contemporary political conflicts (Nagorno-Karabakh, Ukraine, ISIS, Palestine, Libya to name a few), has generally been discussed from the point of view of international law and only as concerning modern history. This volume adopts a much broader perspective by tracing the history of recognition back to the ancient world. It approaches the issue of recognition as a political process where law features as only one of several resources at the disposal of the decision makers. The contributors explore the pivotal moments in the history of recognition on both a European and a world scale: the making of the Roman and Carolingian empires, the Peace of Westphalia, Latin American independence, decolonization, and the Cold War. The comparison brings to light the continuities and discontinuities of recognition within and beyond the historical limits of the modern state.
The Routledge History of Modern Latin American Migration
The Routledge History of Modern Latin American Migration offers a systematic account of population movements to and from the region over the last 150 years, spanning from the massive transoceanic migration of the 1870s to contemporary intraregional and transnational movements. The volume introduces the migratory trajectories of Latin American populations as a complex web of transnational movements linking origin, transit, and receiving countries. It showcases the historical mobility dynamics of different national groups including Arab, Asian, African, European, and indigenous migration and their divergent international trajectories within existing migration systems in the Western Hemisphere,...
Le domaine du Maître : l'État russe et sa mission mondiale
Poutine a fabriqué une fausse histoire russe, définie par une essence métaphysique qui justifierait sa prétention à un leadership mondiale, en imposant à la planète entière ses valeurs profondément réactionnaires, qui gouvernent sa politique intérieure. La réactivation de la vieille dynamique impériale va bien au-delà de l’espace entourant le territoire russe : cela est la nouveauté. Le livre analyse le rapport entre répétabilité de structures anciennes et événements singuliers actuels. La dimension impériale, le patrimonialisme, la personnification du pouvoir et sa légitimité transcendée, le refus des éléments émancipateurs dans le libéralisme politique... autant de strates érodées, mais encore actives de l’histoire russe. L’auteur les expose et les met en rapport avec les propos officiels sur l’Ukraine, la guerre et l’Occident. C’est un livre d’histoire qui éclaire la densité de l’actualité et dévoile les ambitions en jeu dans cette croisade messianique.
Daniele Barbaro and the University of Padova
This book, edited by Kim Williams and Cosimo Monteleone, follows the publication of two other books dedicated to Daniele Barbaro and published by Springer: Daniele Barbaro's Vitruvius of 1567 (Kim Williams, 2019) and Daniele Barbaro's Perspective of 1568 (Kim Williams and Cosimo Monteleone, 2021). Therefore, it can be considered another installment in a series that has deepened the scientific treatises published by Daniele Barbaro. Due to the numerous scientific interests that Barbaro matured in the years he spent at the University of Padua, we have invited experts in these topics to discuss Barbaro in relation to his training. In particular, the book opens with the essays of the two editors...
