2014 Crisis in Ukraine. Perspectives, Reflections, International Reverberations
This book is a collective attempt to present a wide-ranging picture of international attitudes towards the events currently ongoing in Ukraine. As some experts have already tended to claim, in 2014 this post-Soviet state lying in the Eastern part of the European continent has become a scene of the most serious geopolitical standoff since the end of the Cold war. It would be in place here to remind a well-known clear-cut maxim, formulated by Zbigniew Brzeziński in late 1990s and concerning Ukraine’s key role in shaping the Russian imperial self-identity: “Without Ukraine Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire”. So what may readers expect to find in this book? It has been divided into two parts, reflecting the perspectives on Ukrainian crisis: first, the perspective of Ukraine’s close neighbours from Central Eastern Europe and Turkey; second, the perspectives of the global players like the EU, the US or China. We hope that such a publication focused on the above-mentioned problems and embedded in the actual reality will be useful both for professionals in the field of political science, as well as for those who have an influence on the shape of the foreign policy.
The Theory of War and Peace
This book explores the ontology of war and peace. Using the results of empirical and theoretical research in the field of geophilosophy, as well as neuroscience, psychology, social philosophy and military history, it defines axiomatics of the theory of war and peace; formulates its consequences; tests the theory on the geophilosophy of Europe; and offers a new theoretical basis for the definition of the European Security Strategy. The text proves that war and peace are ways to achieve a regulatory compromise between manifestations of the active principle, which was initially laid in the foundation of the human mentality, and the influence of the external environment through natural selection.
Europe’s Islamic Legacy: 1900 to the Present
Seven new scholarly essays present original research that includes rare historical and photographic materials highlighting the significance of Islamic civilization and its vexed legacy in a variety of contemporary European countries and challenging the perception of European identity as exclusively Christian. This volume unearths a rich, complex history of relationships between Muslims and Christians in Europe whose value lies in the close and continued connections between them that began so long ago on European soil.
Taiwanese and Polish Humor
Is there a specifically ‘Taiwanese’ or ‘Polish’ humor? Do people from Taiwan and Poland share the same sense of humor? How is humor related to politics, religion and the LGBT community? These questions represent the starting point of investigation of this book. Some of the central issues explored here include: (1) how Taiwanese and Polish friends use various discourse strategies to construct humor; and (2) how different types of humor are employed on television variety shows to attract laughter. This book also provides an explanation of the prevalence of wúlítóu ‘nonsense’ in the Taiwanese society and how Polish ‘directness’ is reflected in humor. To understand how humor is culturally shaped and how it contributes to a talk-in-interaction, the three methodological approaches of conversation analysis, multimodal discourse analysis and interactional linguistics are adopted and combined here. This book will be of interest to both linguists and non-linguists who are interested in the social and cultural construction of humor.
Türkiye'nin çatışma bölgelerine yönelik dış politikasının analizi
2002 yılında iktidara gelen AK Parti'nin dış politikasının temel ilkelerinden birisi, komşularla sıfır sorun anlayışıdır. 2010 yılında bölgede yaşanan Arap Baharına kadar, Türkiye’nin komşularla sıfır sorun politikası başarılı şekilde hayata geçmekteydi. Suriye, Irak, İsrail, Filistin, Katar, Mısır gibi Ortadoğu ülkeleri, Balkan devletleri ve Doğu Avrupa ülkeleriyle ilişkiler gelişmiştir. Fakat 2010 yılından itibaren, bölgede artan iç savaşlara/krizlere bağlı olarak Türkiye'nin dış politikasında sıkıntılar görülmeye başlanmıştır. Önceden iyi ilişkiler kurduğu ülkeler ile ilişkileri yavaş yavaş bozulmaya başlamıştır. Bu gelişmeler de, komşularla sıfır sorun politikasından komşularla sırf sorun politikasına geçişin görüldüğü yönünde eleştirilere neden olmuştur. Elinizdeki kitapta, Türkiye’nin bölge krizlerine yönelik izlediği dış politika adımları incelenmektedir.
