Download or read book Varieties of Right Wing Extremism in Europe written by Andrea Mammone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with an analysis of the complex relationship between fascism and the post-war extreme right, the book discusses both contemporary parties and the cultural and intellectual influences of the European New Right as well as patterns of socialization and mobilization. It then analyses the effects of a range of factors on the ideological development of right-wing extremism including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, religious extremism and the approach towards Europe (and the European Union).The final sections investigate a number of activist manifestations of the extreme right from youth participation and the white power music scene to transnational rallies, the Internet and football hooliganism. In the process, the book questions the notion that the contemporary extreme right is either completely novel or fully populist in character. Drawing together a wide range of contributors, this is essential reading for all those with an interest in contemporary extremism and fascism. The book is a companion volume to Mapping the Extreme Right (Routledge, 2012) which has the same editors.

Download or read book Islamist Radicalisation written by Michael Emerson and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2009 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Issues relating to political Islam continue to present challenges to European foreign policies in the Middle East and North Africa. In this volume, European and regional experts analyse trends driving the radicalisation of political Islam as well as the contrary trend of de-radicalisation observed in some countries where Islamist parties have secured democratic political participation. The question underlying the book is whether the ED should engage more specifically with the 'moderate' Islamist parties, and at least recognise radical Islamist movements that achieve democratic electoral success and legitimacy, such as the Palestinian Hamas. Current EU policies are largely negative on both accounts. The conclusions of the book argue for a change in this stance, with a three-dimensional approach: a) to put pressure on incumbent regimes to abandon the repression of moderate Islamist movements, b) to influence the legal and political frameworks regulating social and political participation in a more open way and c) to engage in dialogue with non-violent opposition forces - both Islamist and non-Islamist. In the absence of such policies, the EU risks contributing to a re-radicalisation of movements that have become disillusioned with the failure of their political moderation to produce results." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Approches Critiques de la Pens e Japonaise Du XXe Si cle written by Livia Monnet and published by PUM. This book was released on 2001 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au XXe siècle, le Japon aura laissé sur le monde une marque indélébile. Mais au-delà des coups d'éclat culturels, militaires et économiques, le pays du soleil levant est le lieu d'une pensée où la modernité est à la fois l'enjeu et l'acteur de profonds débats. Cet ouvrage rassemble des articles de chercheurs provenant de six pays, incluant le Canada, les États-Unis, le Japon et la France. Leurs contributions sont autant d'incursions dans ce riche territoire qu'est la modernité japonaise. De l'histoire de l'art du début du siècle au système d'esclavage sexuel, de la citoyenneté des femmes à l'époque impériale aux positions totalitaires de Watsuji Tetsuro, proches de celles de Heidegger, l'histoire du Japon moderne est ici réexaminée dans ce qu'elle a de plus fondamental. Ce qui unifie ces articles malgré la diversité de leurs approches et méthodologies (philosophie, littérature, sciences naturelles, géographie, entre autres), c'est une volonté constante de repenser le nationalisme culturel et son rôle dans la construction de la modernité japonaise, ainsi qu'un questionnement sérieux des paradigmes mêmes de l'histoire des idées.
Download or read book Le fusil la rose et le colibri written by Monique FLAMAND and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-17 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 70 ans après le débarquement en Normandie, la mort ignoble et imbécile de milliers de jeunes hommes, l'auteur remonte le temps... Le temps d'une vie, la sienne, née en 1944, d'un amour qui fut le fruit du hasard, celui de la guerre.De ces vies simples et laborieuses, de la campagne à la ville, des travaux des champs aux usines, des congés payés aux présages heureux des trente glorieuses, de la peur du grondement de la guerre qui se rapproche, elle livre un récit attachant et détaillé. Elle veut partager ses souvenirs, s'interroger et interroger les témoins encore vivants. Elle mêle l'histoire de son père, prisonnier de guerre à la "grande histoire", celle qui détruit les peuples, fait naître les tyrannies, sème la pauvreté et la haine de l'autre.Ainsi que Jean GIONO nous priait dans "Les vraies richesses", « il ne faut pas obéir à la folie de l'argent». Comptons sur les générations futures pour ne pas céder aux délires de puissance d'une race contre une autre, d'un pays contre un autre.

Download or read book What Was Socialism and What Comes Next written by Katherine Verdery and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the first anthropologists to work in Eastern Europe, Katherine Verdery had built up a significant base of ethnographic and historical expertise when the major political transformations in the region began to take place. In this collection of essays dealing with the aftermath of Soviet-style socialism and the different forms that may replace it, she explores the nature of socialism in order to understand more fully its consequences. By analyzing her primary data from Romania and Transylvania and synthesizing information from other sources, Verdery lends a distinctive anthropological perspective to a variety of themes common to political and economic studies on the end of socialism: themes such as "civil society," the creation of market economies, privatization, national and ethnic conflict, and changing gender relations. Under Verdery's examination, privatization and civil society appear not only as social processes, for example, but as symbols in political rhetoric. The classic pyramid scheme is not just a means of enrichment but a site for reconceptualizing the meaning of money and an unusual form of post-Marxist millenarianism. Land being redistributed as private property stretches and shrinks, as in the imaginings of the farmers struggling to tame it. Infused by this kind of ethnographic sensibility, the essays reject the assumption of a transition to capitalism in favor of investigating local processes in their own terms.

Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

Book excerpt: When it was first published in the author's native country, THE PALACE OF DREAMS was immediately banned. The novel revolves around a secret ministry whose task is not just to spy on its citizens, but to collect and interpret their dreams. An entire nation's unconscious is thus tapped and meticulously laid bare in the form of images and symbols of the dreaming mind.
