Justice, Order and Anarchy
This book provides a contextual account of the first anarchist theory of war and peace, and sheds new light on our contemporary understandings of anarchy in International Relations. Although anarchy is arguably the core concept of the discipline of international relations, scholarship has largely ignored the insights of the first anarchist, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Proudhon's anarchism was a critique of the projects of national unification, universal dominion, republican statism and the providentialism at the heart of enlightenment social theory. While his break with the key tropes of modernity pushed him to the margins of political theory, Prichard links Proudhon back into the republican tra...
Violence After War
Developing a better understanding of the dynamics of violence in post-war states can lead to a more durable peace. The end of one war is frequently the beginning of another because the cessation of conflict produces two new challenges: a contest between the winners and losers over the terms of peace, and a battle within the winning party over the spoils of war. As the victors and the vanquished struggle to establish a new political order, incidents of low-level violence frequently occur and can escalate into an unstable peace or renewed conflict. Michael J. Boyle evaluates the dynamics of post-conflict violence and their consequences in Violence after War. In this systematic comparative stud...
International Practices to Promote Budget Literacy
Budget literacy is defined as 'the ability to read, decipher, and understand public budgets to enable and enhance meaningful citizen participation in the budget process'. It is comprised of two main parts - (i) a technical understanding of public budgets, including familiarity with government spending, tax rates and public debt and; (ii) the ability to engage in the budget process, comprising of practical knowledge on day-to-day issues, as well as an elementary understanding of the economic, social and political implications of budget policies, the stakeholders involved and when and how to provide inputs during the annual budget cycle. Given that no international standards or guidelines have...

Otto Weidt
Der Kleinfabrikant Otto Weidt (1883–1947) betrieb zu Beginn der 1940er Jahre in der Rosenthaler Straße 39 in Berlin-Mitte eine als wehrwichtig eingestufte Besenmacherwerkstatt. Seine Belegschaft bestand überwiegend aus blinden und gehörlosen Juden, die er so vor Verfolgung und Deportation zu schützen versuchte. Für seinen Einsatz wurde er 1971 posthum als »Gerechter unter den Völkern« geehrt. Weniger bekannt ist das frühere Leben Weidts: In der Kaiserzeit war er in der anarchistischen Arbeiterbewegung aktiv und wurde von der Politischen Polizei überwacht. Den Ideen und Idealen des Anarchismus blieb er aber auch später verbunden. Zeitlebens war er ein strikter Gegner von Mili...
中国与欧盟的相互认知：媒体的视角
對於中國和歐盟雙方而言，提升彼此的可見度是發展雙邊關係的一項首要任務。現在中國和歐盟之間存在著巨大的誤解，並且到目前為止，幾乎還沒有人對歐盟/中國媒體及其對中歐關係的影響進行研究。本書旨在填補這方面研究的空白，關注中國媒體對歐盟的報導以及中國公眾對歐盟的看法，歐盟媒體對中國的報導以及歐盟公眾對中國的看法。本書還對多媒體時代中國和歐盟面臨的機遇和挑戰，以及大眾傳媒對中歐關係產生的影響進行了探討。
The Pro-Israel Lobby in Europe
The activities of pro-Israel pressure groups and lobbyists in the US are well-known. But the pro-Israel lobby in Europe is less prominent in both academic and media accounts. In a unique account, Elvira King identifies the pro-Israeli groups which attempt to influence policy-makers and implementers in the EU, specifically examining Christian Zionist groups. Through a detailed study of the European Coalition for Israel (ECI), the only Christian Zionist lobby in Brussels, Elvira King analyses whether and how a religious group can (and can fail to) influence decision-makers in the EU. By exploring the context of European relations with Israel as well as the mechanisms through which pressure groups are able to influence EU-wide policies, King offers an analysis which demonstrates how the EU can be a site where religion and politics meet, rather than just being a secular institution. It therefore contains vital primary research for both those interested in the pro-Israel lobby as well as those examining the role of religion in politics more generally.
