Amarna Diplomacy
Published in 1992, William L. Moran's definitive English translation, The Amarna Letters, raised as many questions as it answered. How did Pharaoh run his empire? Why did the god-king consent to deal with his fellow, mortal monarchs as equals? Indeed, why did kings engage in diplomacy at all? How did the great powers maintain international peace and order? In Amarna Diplomacy, Raymond Cohen and Raymond Westbrook have brought together a team of specialists, both social scientists and ancient historians, to explore the world of ancient Near Eastern statecraft portrayed in the letters. Subjects discussed include Egyptian imperial and foreign policy, international law and trade, geopolitics and decision making, intelligence, and diplomacy. This book will be of interest to scholars not only of the ancient Near East and the Bible but also of international relations and diplomatic studies. Contributors are Pinhas Artzi, Kevin Avruch, Geoffrey Berridge, Betsy M. Bryan, Raymond Cohen, Steven R. David, Daniel Druckman, Serdar Güner, Alan James, Christer Jönsson, Mario Liverani, Samuel A. Meier, William J. Murnane, Nadav Na'aman, Rodolfo Ragionieri, Raymond Westbrook, and Carlo Zaccagnini.
Inconsistency in the Torah
Rather than viewing inconsistencies in the Torah as signs of revision, this book identifies precursors for these phenomena in ancient Near Eastern writings. It claims that Enlightenment and German historicist influences corrupted critical study of the Bible, and calls for a return to the more modest agenda set out by Spinoza.
Environmental Change, Adaptation, and Security
The chapters in this volume are edited versions of papers presented at the NATO Ad vanced Research Workshop on Environmental Change Adaptation and Security held in Budapest, Hungary, from October 16 - 18, 1997. As is evident in this volume, the papers ranged from descriptions of environmental and health issues in Russia and Eastern Europe to models of sustainable land use. This diversity of perspectives on environ ment and security is indicative of both the breadth of this new area of research as well as the varied background of the researchers involved. The discussions at the NATO workshop were remarkably animated and exciting, not surprising given the interest in the topic. I think this vi...
How People Negotiate
How People Negotiate brings together a set of negotiation stories, accompanied by an integrative overview. This volume provides cases and theoretical elaboration and includes a comprehensive overview of research on negotiation. Some negotiation stories are exotic and strange: they come from a large number of countries, ranging from China, to African Countries, to the Ancient Middle East. Others are drawn from Western settings such as France, Germany, and USA. The negotiations described take various forms: negotiating with oneself, negotiating one's own way through bicycle traffic or animals appearing to negotiate with each other. The stories begin with Abraham negotiating with the Lord about the fate of Sodom, the first-ever recorded account of negotiations. The negotiations in this volume present something new and unusual. They are catchy, intriguing, exciting, intellectually challenging and original. They give us a new perspective on negotiating, tell us something about the world we live in, and - by means of a worthwhile detour - they teach us about ourselves.

Uluslararasõ _li_kilerde GŸvenlik Kuramlarõ ve Sorunlarõna Temel Yakla_õmlar
Sibel Turan and Nergiz Ozkural Koroglu in this edited volume brings together a collection of essays on international relations and security perspectives. Uluslararası İlişkilerdeki güvenlik kuramları konjonktürel değişimlerle birlikte sürekli gelişmekte ve zenginleşmektedir. Teorik yaklaşımlarla ilgili güncel tartışmalar, disiplinin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için önem arz ederken güvenlik yaklaşımlarının ve algılamalarının değişiminin de hesaba katılarak bu yaklaşımların ortaya konulması ve vaka analizleri üzerinden uygulaması önemlidir. Günümüzde "güvenlik" kavramı uluslararası ilişkiler disiplini içerisinde çevre veya toplumsal güvenlik ya da cinsiyet gibi farklı güvenlik boyutları ile analiz edilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu kitabın temel hedeflerinden bir tanesi farklı bakış açılarını yansıtan kuramsal çerçevelerle "güvenlik" kavramına bakabilmektir.
Chp’de Milletvekili Adaylığı Mücadeleleri: “Parti İçi Demokrasi” ve “Lider Oligarşisi” Tartışmalarının Eleştirel Bir Analizi
Bu çalışma, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi'nde milletvekili adaylarının belirlenmesi sürecinde ortaya çıkan tahakküm ve meşruiyet ilişkileri üzerinedir. CHP'nin, 2007, 2011 ve 2015 seçimlerinde farklı aday belirleme yöntemleri kullanmasına rağmen, çoğunluğu parti profesyoneli olarak nitelendirilebilecek kişilerin sürekli seçildiği ve farklı yöntemlerin aday ve milletvekili kompozisyonunda radikal bir değişiklik yaratmadığı görülmektedir. Bu olgu, parti yayınları ve diğer kaynaklardan yararlanılarak toplanılan Türkiye geneli istatistiklere dayanarak oluşturulmuş olan çoklu mütekabiliyet analizi diyagramlarıyla ve Kırklareli'de yürütülen etnografik saha...
