Balancing Institutional Power in European Policymaking

  • Since the EU has been confronted with multiple crises, scholars have debated the consequences from the viewpoint of integration, disintegration, or differentiated integration. This book takes a different perspective. Rather than focusing on macro-structures, it highlights the ongoing contestation and balancing of power in everyday policymaking. These processes lead to incremental, often hidden informal institutional change rather than overall Treaty amendments. They unfold in European legislation under the Community Method, in intergovernmental politics, administrative policymaking, and court proceedings and often link all these venues. The book analyses and empirically describes different conflicts, strategies, and processes through which actors respond to power imbalances in policymaking and seek to reshape rules and patterns of interaction. The authors argue that this enduring balancing of power is essential to the EU's resilience, as it compels actors to respond to challenges and find institutional solutions, particularly in a fast-changing international order.

  • Mental health professionals know firsthand how societal stigma may prevent many individuals from seeking care. What has been discussed less, however, is the experience of mental health providers who themselves are dealing with a serious mental illness. This book aims to educate readers about the contributions of and discrimination against mental health professionals who manage mental health challenges, providing support and proposing new avenues for research, advocacy, and organizational change. Each chapter features a comprehensive review of the relevant empirical literature, brought to life through personal narratives. Many also provide strategic recommendations for addressing the systemic impact of exclusion and stigma on the mental health profession and broader culture as a whole. Designed for academic educators, clinicians, and researchers, as well as individuals managing mental health challenges, this volume is a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in diversity, disability, mental health, as well as industrial and organizational psychology.

Whistling at the Plough
  • Poetic Infrastructure from Improvement to Romanticism
  • Nathan TeBokkel

  • Literary forms are ways of doing work through the repeated arrangement of linguistic elements. Reading history and forms such as aesthetics with Burke, Kames, and Young, larch-planting and the picturesque with Wordsworth, irrigation and the pastoral with Shelley, and labour management and the lyric with Clare, this original study shows how romanticism was the acculturation of agricultural improvement's poetic infrastructure. This infrastructure is a historically specific set of such forms and their associated physical media and social practices. Both are made from everyday language-uses and are not unique to – though they receive unique attention in – literature, which makes literature necessary for understanding their historical change and their role in other historical changes. Examining contemporary agricultural case studies, Nathan TeBokkel shows that romanticism was conditioned by and then enfolded into the infrastructure concerned with nature, labour, their management, and their improvement, thereby remaining paradigmatic in these fields to the present day.

Peirce's Philosophical Psychology
  • Claudia Cristalli
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    January 2027

    31 January 2027
  • Peirce is often considered a difficult and obscure thinker: “flashes of brilliant light relieved against Cimmerian darkness,” quipped William James. In this book, Claudia Cristalli dispels some of these dark clouds with plain language and by bringing to the fore some of the actual problems with which Peirce engaged, including the reliability of our observations and of our knowledge; the nature of error; why should we choose science as a method to fix belief; and whether knowledge is independent of our ways of acquiring it. These issues are still relevant today, and Peirce's way of addressing them becomes much clearer when set in the context of his scientific practice. This book is the first in-depth account of Peirce's engagement with psychology and its role in his overarching philosophical project and will be valuable for scholars and students interested in the history and philosophy of psychology and in American pragmatism.

Transnational Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
  • Banu Ozkazanc-Pan
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    January 2027

    31 January 2027
  • Why do some entrepreneurial ecosystems thrive through global connection while others stagnate behind national borders? Banu Ozkazanc-Pan argues that ecosystems are not local formations but transnational - shaped by the movement of people, ideas, and identities across geographies and cultures. Drawing on transnational migration studies, she introduces a powerful new analytic framework built around transnational social fields, historical conjunctural analysis, and mobility methods. The framework centres on three scales of original research: in-depth interviews with eighteen globally mobile founders; a richly detailed case study of the Cambridge Innovation Center across five countries; and a geopolitically charged analysis of Taiwan's Asia Innovation Hub navigating the US–China technology rivalry. Timely and theoretically bold, Entrepreneurial Ecosystems confronts the shadow side of mobility - rising anti-immigration politics and immobility regimes - and asks whose voices shape entrepreneurship theory. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand innovation in a world on the move.

Making Sense of Monarchy in the Roman World, 50 BC – AD 100

  • From the last decades of the Roman Republic to the establishment of the Trajanic monarchy, the period 50 BC to AD 100 was a period of constitutional and cultural change in the Roman world. Our main literary accounts of this period of transformation – the narratives of Appian, Tacitus, Cassius Dio and Suetonius, subtle and insightful they may be, were all written with the benefit of hindsight. Moreover, they were products of a literary and political culture which was distinct from that which they were describing. This volume attempts to locate an earlier phase. Taking authors ranging in time from Cornelius Nepos to the author of Luke-Acts, the chapters in this volume ask what their texts reveal about the ways in which writers thought about monarchy or monarchical systems, how they were influenced by earlier traditions, and how they responded to the monarchical reality of their own times.

Symmetries of Living and Artificial Intelligence Systems

  • Symmetry plays a crucial role across various scales in physics-from the fundamental particles that comprise matter to the intricate shapes of snowflakes. The ubiquity of these symmetries poses a pivotal question: if life arises as an emergent property from physics, what prevents symmetry from also explaining the architectures of biological, or even artificial, life? This book addresses the question by introducing a new geometry for 'living' networks, drawing inspiration from Grothendieck's fibrations in category theory. The traditional, restrictive symmetry groups of physics are replaced with symmetry fibration, a novel notion which is both local and adaptable to evolutionary pressures. This provides an effective framework for understanding biological complexity, translating the once inscrutable AI 'black box' into an interpretable 'colored box' rich with symmetry. Featuring numerous cutting-edge applications from genomics, neuroscience and AI, this text is ideal for graduate students and researchers in mathematical biology, machine learning and network science.

  • This pioneering comparative study provides the first quantitative, large-scale, cross-language analysis of subject pronoun variation, with a dataset representing more than 1000 speakers, twenty-four communities, and 6 languages: Persian, Spanish, European and Brazilian Portuguese, Mandarin, and Swabian. Over 250,000 sites of pronominal variation are analysed to reveal community-specific and universal patterns of pronoun use, providing readers with key insights into how communities vary in their characteristic rates of pronoun use and in their sensitivity to linguistic and social conditioning factors. The project employs a range of quantitative measures, statistical techniques, and visualization tools to assist readers in investigating pronominal variation from cognitive, linguistic, and social perspectives. The book includes a freely downloadable R Markdown Project for readers to use in replicating and extending the methods provided to their own projects.

Still Gaza

  • Khawla Badwan
  • Coming soon

    31 January 2027
  • In this unique exploration of the interplay of knowledge, memory, language, loss, and the layered unspeakability surrounding Palestine, Khawla Badwan develops an applied linguistics that sits with Gaza and the international failure to prevent the world's first livestreamed genocide. Still Gaza offers a deep understanding of how language operates in relation to human experience and how it can be stretched and shattered with pain and trauma. It presents a kind of applied linguistics and intercultural education scholarship that is critical, timely, disobedient, anticolonial and truly rooted in the lived experiences of genocide, erasure and struggle. The knowledge it produces is not only contemporary and current but also lived, felt, breathed, embodied and experienced. Genre-defying, Still Gaza refigures language as ethical action. It enables readers to understand the power of language as a witnessing project and as a tool for collective remembering and social healing.

Sulla's Proscriptions
  • Civil War Violence in the Late Roman Republic
  • Alexander Thein
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    31 January 2027
  • Sulla's proscriptions involved a system of violent reprisals instituted after the civil war of 83–82 BC. Names were posted on death lists, property was confiscated and sold at public auction, and the proscribed were defined as fugitive outlaws with a price on their head who could be killed with impunity even by their sons or slaves. The violence was personal as well as political, and there were cases in which men were proscribed only for their wealth. This book examines the logic and mechanics of the proscriptions. It emphasises the profit motive, along with cronyism and corruption, highlights the intimacy of Sullan violence, and examines the question of decision-making and agency. The impetus came from Sulla 'from above', but it was also defined 'from below' by the bounty hunters, profiteers, and informers who exploited the violence of the proscriptions for reasons of their own.

  • Across Africa, power structures from colonial legacies to modern social hierarchies create and sustain exclusion. Exploring the individuals and groups living on the periphery of African society, this book situates Africa's marginalized identities as catalysts for social transformation. Toyin Falola examines a diverse range of identities, including persons with albinism, LGBTQI+ communities, refugees, rural dwellers, and women in seclusion. By analyzing these groups not as passive victims but as active agents of change, the book reveals how their unique perspectives and resistance movements are reshaping the continent's future. Blending sociology, history, and political science, Falola challenges prevailing norms and advocates for a more inclusive, pluralistic Africa. Marginalized Identities in Africa is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of identity, human rights, and social transformation in one of the world's most dynamic regions.

  • In Sanity: Stories of Psychosis, Psychiatry and Stigma, Professor Thornicroft recounts the most dramatic and demanding experiences of his psychiatric career. Through vivid encounters with people living with psychosis, he explores what it means to work alongside individuals whose realities differ profoundly from his own, and his efforts to help them survive, recover and find hope in a world often marked by rejection. Blending memoir and case studies, each chapter offers a revealing story from critical moments in his professional practice, unflinchingly portraying the emotional challenges, professional conflicts and systemic pressures of modern community mental health care. Across these compelling accounts, he addresses questions frequently posed throughout his career: How does a psychiatrist remain emotionally grounded? Is treatment really more than just prescribing medication? And can a person with psychosis ever truly recover?

Lively, accessible and based on the latest scholarship, this is the first complete account of Republican Illyricum in English. Perfect for students, researchers and general readers, it opens a window on an important but neglected chapter of Roman history.

Euripides' Women

  • The complex and often controversial female characters of Euripidean tragedy have long attracted critical attention and creative engagement. In Euripides' Women, Sarah Olsen enriches our understanding of these figures by focusing on their relationships with one another. Attending to scenes of female intimacy, she argues that these encounters invite audiences to imagine alternatives to the lives and narratives unfolding within a given play. Through readings of Helen, Andromache, Hecuba, Hippolytus, Phoenician Women, and Trojan Women, Olsen traces how such moments generate new trajectories within and across familiar mythic and dramatic traditions. Combining queer and feminist perspectives with literary and performance-based modes of analysis, Euripides' Women identifies female relationships as a vital source of imaginative and theatrical possibility in Greek tragedy.

Regulating Water Scarcity
  • A Socio-Legal Perspective

    31 January 2027
  • Regulating water scarcity engages with a core challenge posed by a changing climate: how can we use legal rules to alleviate water scarcity and drought? Based on interview data, this book examines how managers of water resources – in water companies and environmental regulatory agencies in England and Wales – draw on distinct ideas of evidence when applying legal rules. The book develops its account of evidence as organization in the context of a critical analysis of academic literature about regulatory spaces, the co-production of law with science, Foucaultian ideas about information resources, and the 'rules of the game' that inform how organizations take actions. The book's approach to 'water law in action' includes a comparative perspective that introduces selected features of regulating water scarcity and drought in Australia, China, California and the Colorado river system, Germany and Spain. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
