Balkanlarda Din, Toplum ve Aydınlar
Balkan coğrafyası kültür zenginliği açısından dünyadaki en önemli coğrafyalardan biridir. Bu zenginlik modern dönemdeki etnik milliyetçilik sonucu değil, dinlerin getirmiş olduğu hoşgörü sayesinde olmuştur. Bu höşgörüyü sağlayan dini inançların günümüz aydınları tarafından nasıl algılandığını, başka bir ifadeyle toplumun öncülüğünü yapan aydınların, din konusunda nasıl bir anlayışa sahip olduklarını tespit etmek, Balkan coğrafyasının bugünkü ve gelecekteki durumuna ilişkin sağlıklı değerlendirmelerde bulunabilmek adına son derece önemlidir... İşte bu eser Balkan coğrafyasında yaşayan aydınların, kişilik ve din, kimlik ve din, toplum ve din, laiklik ve din, sekülerleşme ve din, gericilik-ilericilik ve din, reform ve din ilişkileri gibi konularda görüşlerini sosyo-psikolojik bir perspektifle sergilemektedir...

A case study of a multi-ethnic Muslim state and a contribution to the study of the domestic functions of foreign policy. The book also addresses the real and imagined significance of Islam as a force in contemporary global politics.
Remembrance of Pacific Pasts
How does one describe the Pacific's pasts? The easy confidence historians once had in writing about the region has disappeared in the turmoil surrounding today's politics of representation. Earlier narratives that focused on what happened when are now accused of encouraging myths of progress. Remembrance of Pacific Pasts takes a different course. It acknowledges history's multiplicity and selectivity, its inability to represent the past in its entirety "as it really was" and instead offers points of reference for thinking with and about the region's pasts. It encourages readers to participate in the historical process by constructing alternative histories that draw on the volume's chapters. ...
The Prevention and Intervention of Genocide
This volume is comprised of over 2,300 annotations on a wide array of issues and topics germane to the subject of preventing the atrocities of genocide and managing these conflicts when they do arise. Samuel Totten brings together in one comprehensive collection the research and findings in various fields, such as political science, sociology, history, and psychology, to enable specialists in genocide studies, peace studies, and conflict resolution to benefit from the insights of a diverse range of scholars and foster an understanding of how the various components of genocide studies connect. Among the topics included are: key conventions, international treaties, and covenants genocide early...
Malaysia@50: Economic Development, Distribution, Disparities
Malaysia has grown and changed a great deal since it was formed on 16 September 1963. It was then seen as an unlikely nation hastily put together as a federation of British controlled territories in the region. Brunei's refusal to join at the eleventh hour and Singapore's secession before its second birthday only seemed to confirm such doubts.Yet, it has not only survived, but even thrived, often cited as a developing country worthy of emulation. Ruled by the same ruling coalition since the mid-1950s, it has been tempting to emphasize continuities, and there certainly have been many.Looking back at its last half century, this volume first considers changes in development policy in response t...
The Sociology of Southeast Asia
One of the main problems faced by teachers and students who have a scholarly interest in Southeast Asia is the lack of general, user-friendly texts in the social sciences. The absence of an introduction to the sociology of Southeast Asia is especially unfortunate. This volume attempts to meet these needs. This is, then, the first sole-authored introductory sociology text on Southeast Asia that focuses on change and development in the region, provides an overview of the important sociological and political economy writings, and considers the key concepts and themes in the field since 1945. Some multiauthored works do exist but these either are outdated or focus on specialized topics. Aimed primarily at undergraduates up to the final year, it will also be a useful reference work for post-graduates and researchers who lack such a general work.
Democracy in Malaysia
The latest volume in the Democracy in Asia series provides a further significant contribution to the international discourse on democracy.
State Collapse and Post-conflict Development in Africa
Mohamoud's work considers the underlying causes for the breakdown of the state across both time and space. Time is considered across the triple history - the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial processes. Space is used in the sense of taking the whole of Somalia as a unit of analysis. This approach enables the discovery of different structural crises over a period of time and examines these cumulative effects on the current upheavals in Somalia. Among the approaches, State Collapse and Post-Conflict Development in Africa covers the constraints in the harsh material environment; the subsistence pastoral mode of existence; the colonial intervention and the subsequent division of the land ...
Brunei - History, Islam, Society and Contemporary Issues
Brunei, although a relatively small state, is disproportionately important on account of its rich resource base. In addition, in recent years the country has endeavoured to play a greater role in regional affairs, especially through ASEAN, holding the chair of the organisation in 2013, and also beyond the region, fostering diplomatic, political, economic and educational ties with many nations. This book presents much new research and new thinking on a wide range of issues concerning Brunei largely drawn from Bruneian academics. Subjects covered include Brunei’s rich history – the sultanate formerly had much more extensive territories and was a key player in regional affairs; the country’s economy, politics, society and ethnicities; and resource issues and international relations.
