  • This interdisciplinary textbook explores how environmental and social systems respond to stress, by either adapting or tipping into crisis. It presents mathematical theory in an accessible way and connects dynamic systems with real-world data. Chapters analyse the ball and cup model, phase diagrams, bifurcations, and real-world case studies such as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), Arctic sea ice, ecosystem collapse, nonlinearity, feedbacks, thresholds, and resilience in both Earth and social systems. Each chapter includes questions to encourage discussion, analytical exercises to build technical skills, and multiple choice questions to reinforce learning. With clear language, vivid examples, and interactive exercises, this book equips students and instructors across science, policy, and sustainability with tools to understand and manage change in a rapidly transforming world. It is ideal for senior undergraduates, graduate students, scientists, policymakers, and professionals in environmental science, ecology, climate science, physics, economics, and public policy.

Intervening in International Justice

  • The intervention of States in legal proceedings touches upon some of the most beguiling questions in international dispute settlement. These include questions of treaty interpretation, obligations erga omnes, the sources of judicial power and rulemaking, the nature of incidental proceedings, the Monetary Gold doctrine of indispensable parties, cross-fertilization between judicial and arbitral bodies, and principles of jurisdiction, party autonomy, and res judicata. As jurists and scholars tend to address these questions in isolation, however, each development in third-State practice has raised unimagined issues of first impression-such as the 2022 declarations of dozens of States exploring mass intervention before the International Court of Justice in Ukraine v. Russia, and the participation of neighbouring States without China's presence in the 2016 South China Sea arbitration. By applying conceptual, comparative, and historical approaches to international justice, this book instead offers a uniquely holistic assessment of the practice and prospective development of intervention.

  • Why does conflict remain a defining challenge across Africa, and how can sustainable peace be achieved? Drawing on five centuries of African intellectual thought, original fieldwork, archival research, and over twenty case studies, Pillars of Peace redefines how we understand conflict and how sustainable peace can be built. Ayokunu Adedokun develops three central contributions. First, the book demonstrates how conflict emerges from the interaction of historical legacies, structural conditions, and post-conflict dynamics. Second, Adedokun introduces an original approach to sustainable peace that integrates African intellectual traditions, including decolonial scholarship and the relational ethics of Ubuntu, while recognising the constructive role of global partnerships. Finally, the study explains why sustainable peace requires the integrated reconstruction of three core pillars: security and public order, political and governance systems, and economic and development foundations within a unified peace architecture. Bridging theory and practice, Pillars of Peace advances a new paradigm for understanding conflict and building sustainable peace globally.

African Literature, Decolonization, and Indigenous Ecology

  • Nearly all studies of twentieth-century African literature have focused on humans whereas the literature has in various ways depicted the role of natural beings in precolonial and colonial African communities. The book calls attention to the neglected natural beings. Drawing on theories of African literature, ecocriticism, and decoloniality, through writers such as Achille Mbembe, Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe, it forges a rich intersection between African natures, the anticolonial ideology of twentieth-century African letters, and resistance to the condition of coloniality in the present time. In doing so, the book repositions literary analysis within broader environmental and epistemic frameworks. It ultimately charts a planetary vision centred on indigenous knowledge and practices of Africa, offering timely insights as the world is confronted by the increasing destructive effects of the Anthropocene. By foregrounding relational modes of existence, it contributes to rethinking both literature and environmental futures in more just and sustainable ways.

Dawn of the Creative Mind

  • In a world of constant change, where new challenges demand novel solutions, understanding creativity has never been more essential. How do we create? How did we become so creative? Given that ideas adapt and build on one another, in what sense does culture evolve? Synthesizing research from psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, archaeology, computational models, evolutionary theory, and first-person accounts, this book reveals how creativity sparks innovation, heals inner turmoil, connects minds, and fuels cultural change. It advances an ambitious, original theory of how the creative process works, and a theory of cultural evolution that can account for difficult-to-explain features, such as cross-domain transfer, and our highly cooperative nature. The text traces the lifespan of ideas from conception, to gestation, to birth, to their release into the world, where they acquire new forms, adapting to the new minds in which they take up residence.

Human Rights for the Data Society
  • Big Tech, the UN and the Datafication of Rights

  • In the 2010s, the United Nations embarked on a series of projects to embrace and respond to digital data technologies as part of its human rights agenda. Human Rights for the Data Society argues that these efforts produced a world in which the biggest technology corporations and their data technologies are widely accepted as indispensable to the international human rights project: the data society. The UN did this through a series of technical projects that produce 'datafied' forms of human rights, whereby core concepts and practices of rights are understood by reference to or performed through digital data technologies, and where the human of human rights recedes into the data. Thus, when human rights practitioners – at the UN and beyond – use datafied forms of human rights, they play a significant role in making the data society possible. By the same token, they also play a significant role in foreclosing alternative possibilities – of worlds in which human rights and digital data technologies might be imagined differently.

Anti-Corruption Corporate Compliance

  • How are corporate compliance programs becoming a central feature of global anti-corruption governance, and what legal forces truly drive their spread? This groundbreaking book offers the first global mapping of the legal developments that promote compliance programs across both the Global North and the Global South. Challenging the Northern-centric focus of existing scholarship, it reveals how seemingly aligned reforms mask deeply diverse designs of local legal strategies. By developing an original taxonomy and interrogating the role of the International Anti-Corruption Regime, the book reshapes our understanding of how compliance is legally constructed and incentivized in contemporary corporate practices. Adopting a comparative perspective, this work positions compliance program studies as a vital and emerging field within legal scholarship.

  • Perceptual Dialectology (PD) is the study of non-linguists' beliefs about language variation and its spatial distribution. This book provides a concise introduction to PD, covering the foundational assumptions and scholarly theories that inform it, such as sociolinguistics, human geography, and social psychology. It addresses the key strategies and best practices for the design, collection, analysis, and interpretation of PD research, such as the effects of bias, macro/micro social categories, use of interviews, and data analysis. It approaches the analysis of metalinguistic commentary through an exploration of the frameworks that assign meaning to language objects, and also includes a summary of the history and roots of PD, allowing readers to understand how PD intersects with both 'old' and 'new' ways of exploring sociolinguistic questions. Providing the tools to carry out their own research, it is ideal for researchers and students looking for a one-stop overview of this growing field.

Constitutionalism 2050

  • The spread of state-centered constitutions and constitutionalism as a dominant branch of public law and a lingua franca of contemporary politics and policymaking is arguably one of the most significant developments in late twentieth and early twenty-first century governance. Yet, as we head into an age defined by planetary challenges, the current crisis of constitutional democracy provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the constitutional project. Drawing on an extensive interdisciplinary and comparative inquiry, this book highlights the stark disconnect between constitutionalism's statist foundations and the existential, planetary challenges we face as humanity: mass global migration, climate change, unequal access to essential natural resources, and radical technological transformation governed by unruly multinational corporations. Ran Hirschl's expert analysis exposes the questionable suitability of the dominant form of constitutionalism, and of contemporary state-based public law more generally, to lead us effectively into the planetary epoch.

  • Discussions of racism and antiracism are a central part of today's national conversation. The political environment is filled with challenging questions around race and politics. This introductory textbook combines intellectual history, political biography, and philosophy in a manner that incorporates the contributions and ideas of African American political thinkers into a comprehensive, engaging narrative. Acting as a companion to primary source documents, the text frames these figures and their ideologies within their historical and political contexts. African American political thinkers throughout history have been at the forefront of considering how to counteract racism and achieve racial justice. By examining the evolution of the core figures, concepts, and movements of African American political thought over time, students will be able to apply theory to both historical and current contexts. This text provides a multicultural lens to challenge commonly held understandings of traditional western thought as future leaders tackle challenging questions.

  • For a century and a half, waves of migration have bound Korea and the United States in a complex, evolving relationship. In this sweeping history, John S. W. Park uncovers the forces that drove these movements and the profound ways they reshaped both nations. Park traces how Americans became a dominant presence on the Korean peninsula during and after the Korean War, even though American diplomats had backed Japanese domination over Korea. He also details how American missionaries and then its military presence opened significant pathways for Koreans to come to the United States since the late 19th century. These Koreans came to the US in increasing numbers as 'post-colonial subjects,' and this book offers a bold, deeply researched account of how they've moved from marginal to much more visible positions in American society.

Barbarians at the Gate

  • The legacy of fascism has challenged far-right expansion in Central Europe, yet nativist parties have found a workaround without compromising exclusionary ethno-nationalist agendas. Barbarians at the Gate explores the under-studied role that religion plays in the promotion of the ethno-nationalist agendas currently chipping away at liberal democratic protections. The book identifies a democratic erosion grounded in a Christian Nationalist concept of the ethno-nation fused with Christianity. Through a combination of interviews, new surveys with Austrian and German voters, and an original dataset of nativist and radical-right party rhetoric, it demonstrates how nativist parties use religion as a vehicle for democratic erosion, even in nations long-seen as bastions of democracy. Especially in Germany, where the hurdles to a far-right comeback are high, understanding how nativist parties use religious framing to sidestep the legacies of Nazism while still promoting ethno-nationalism is critical.

  • Victorian women's writing was a global project, offering platforms of expression to authors of wildly different perspectives, cultures, and life experiences. While conventional accounts of Victorian women's writing emphasize modest domestic ideals, this volume places that familiar narrative in conversation with voices that tell very different stories, including those that challenge, reject, reform, subvert, and sometimes reinforce received assumptions about what Victorian women thought, did, and wrote. Engaging sources from the 1830s to the dawn of the Great War in 1914 and beyond, this multi-authored history emphasizes the differences and the connections – both formal and thematic –linking those international, interdisciplinary, and transgeneric voices. Gathering cutting-edge contributions by scholars from across a rich variety of disciplinary perspectives, this History redefines what Victorian women's writing made possible in the modern world.

  • Chaebols like Samsung are globally recognized Korean business groups under shared family ownership. In the context of significant structural transformations shaped by evolving regulatory pressures in the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis, they faced the pressing question of how to transfer control of their sprawling networks of affiliated companies to the next generation. Focusing on both the inheritance of wealth and the transfer of managerial authority, this book traces how high inheritance taxes, tightening regulation of intra-group transactions and changing corporate governance norms have reshaped ownership structures and leadership patterns in these important economic entities. Sea-Jin Chang advocates a hybrid governance model, using professional managers for the day-to-day management of individual affiliates, while family owners focus on setting the strategic direction and ensuring intergenerational continuity. This collaborative approach allows chaebols to harness the complementary strengths of family stewardship and professional expertise, thereby enhancing corporate governance and supporting long-term sustainability.

  • Understanding Our Philanthropic Commons boldly rethinks giving and volunteering as part of a shared resource system - a philanthropic 'commons'. Drawing on the influential frameworks of Elinor and Vincent Ostrom and the Ostrom Workshop, this book equips readers with accessible tools, including the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, Social‑Ecological Systems (SES), Institutional Grammar, and Design Principles for self‑governance. Using case studies ranging from giving circles and donor‑advised funds to workplace campaigns and volunteer management, the authors show how rules, norms, and strategies create institutional arrangements that shape philanthropic behaviour. Fresh insights are offered into addressing philanthropic social dilemmas - such as declines in giving and volunteering - amid technological, social, and economic change. This book is ideal for scholars, nonprofit leaders, policy professionals, students seeking to understand how to sustainably govern giving resources, and for anyone interested in philanthropy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

  • Quantum field theory (QFT) is one of the great achievements of physics, of profound interest to mathematicians, yet standard texts often assume a physicist's background or adopt an abstract mathematical perspective. This thoroughly updated edition bridges that gap. While maintaining a rigorous approach wherever possible, it focuses on explaining what physicists do and why, using precise mathematical language. Written for readers with a background in mathematics but no prior knowledge of physics, and largely self-contained, it presents both essential physical ideas and the necessary mathematical tools in detail. This revised edition has been improved throughout, with many clarifications to the text and the inclusion of solutions to selected exercises to enhance its use for self-study. It will appeal to mathematicians seeking an accessible path into QFT and to physics students wanting greater rigor.

  • Maximilien Robespierre was one of the most important politicians and political thinkers of the French Revolution, both celebrated and reviled. His speeches reveal elaborate and important political theories and are all the more important because he did not write a political treatise or core text. This volume offers the fullest and most scholarly edition in English of a wide array of Robespierre's revolutionary speeches from 1789 to his death in 1794. Edited with an introduction by leading scholars in the field, Colin Jones and Stephen W. Sawyer, the collection provides the resources for an in-depth exploration of Robespierre's political thought. Robespierre's speeches throw new light on the ideas and actions of the political figure of the French Revolution who has perhaps more than any other fascinated later generations.
