The End of Sovereignty?
The end of sovereignty is . . . especially welcome. This is an extremely useful book which brings together insights from the differing disciplines of economics, politics and science. It should be consulted by all those concerned with contemporary international relations. Ken Cosgrove, International Affairs Joseph Camilleri and Jim Falk have written an incisive and vigorous book which is essential to an understanding of political ecology. They show how strongly state sovereignty is currently being assailed by the forces of economic and technical globalisation. It is also being undermined by the ecological crisis which affects the whole of the biosphere, its waters, forests, earth and atmosphe...
The End of Sovereignty?
State sovereignty has traditionally been one of the central ordering concepts in the study of international relations. This important book re-examines the theory and practice of state sovereignty against the backdrop of the rapid economic, technological and institutional changes which have shaped the modern world. The End of Sovereignty?explores the evolving pattern of interaction between national, subnational and transnational actors and the continued relevance of the notion of sovereignty to an understanding of contemporary politics. In the process, the book offers an important contribution to political theory, new insight into the emerging world political system, and a challenging analysis of the new macro-political agenda.
The State in Transition
The state in transition : reimagining political space / edited by Joseph A. Camilleri, Anthony P. Jarvis, Albert J. Paolini.
Culture, Religion and Conflict in Muslim Southeast Asia
By examining the sometimes surprising and unexpected roles that culture and religion have played in mitigating or exacerbating conflicts, this book explores the cultural repertoires from which Southeast Asian political actors have drawn to negotiate the pluralism that has so long been characteristic of the region. Focusing on the dynamics of identity politics and the range of responses to the socio-political challenges of religious and ethnic pluralism, the authors assembled in this book illuminate the principal regional discourses that attempt to make sense of conflict and tensions. They examine local notions of "dialogue," "reconciliation," "civility" and "conflict resolution" and show how...
Judges
Camilleri, best known for his Inspector Montalbano series, presents the charming Judge Surra who moves to a small Sicilian town in the late nineteenth century. He does not quite understand the quirky welcoming gifts from the locals, but nothing stands in the way of his quest for justice - and pastries. Lucarelli brings us a far darker story. Judge Valentina Lorenzi - La Bambina - is so young and inexperienced she hardly merits a bodyguard. But when she barely survives an assassin's bullet, her black-and-white world of crime and punishment turns a deathly shade of grey. In The Triple Dream of the Prosecutor, De Cataldo, a judge himself, crafts a Kafkaesque tale of a lifelong feud between Prosecutor Mandati and the corrupt Mayor of Novere. When the mayor narrowly escapes a series of bizarre assassination attempts, Mandati begins to realise that all his dreams may just be coming true. From Italy's premiere crime authors, three novellas from every tradition of crime writing.
Worlds in Transition
We are living through a unique moment of transition, marked by a frenetic cycle of invention, construction, consumption and destruction. However, there is more to this transition than globalization, argue the authors of this unique and penetrating study. In their highly innovative approach, they set this transition against a broader evolutionary canvas, with the emphasis on the evolution of governance. The book's detailed analysis of five strategic sectors (economy, environment, health, information and security) points to an intricate and rapidly evolving interplay of geopolitical, cultural an.
Regionalism in the New Asia-Pacific Order
Regionalism in the Asia-Pacific is a complex and rapidly evolving phenomenon. This volume explores the relationship between globalization and regionalization, between states, markets and civil society, and between US hegemony and Asian aspirations.
Law of Attraction
In a scene from the 1999 science fiction-action film “The Matrix”, Morpheus tells Leo that nothing in his world is as it seems. He explains that the world which Leo has inhabited since birth is “The Matrix”, an illusory simulated reality construct. More than fifty years before this movie hit the screen, a quantum physicist by the name of Max Planck revealed to the world that we are all connected by a unified energy field, which he called “The Matrix”. Could this strange view of the world explain the metaphysical concept of “The Law of Attraction”? What does it mean to be connected by the unified energy field that Max Planck described, and what are the implications for your life?In this book Joseph Camilleri explores these questions by tracing the law's metaphysical origin and compares it to the science that is said by some to prove its existence. Dedicated to the open-minded reader, you will find that both the science and metaphysical information in this book are valid and when looked at together, convey a gripping and empowering conclusion.
