  • How do you reconcile imperial power with the nation-state? This study explores the enduring legacy of German colonialism, tracing the imperial origins of the German nation-state as it emerged in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Following unification under Prussian leadership, Germany expanded overseas to assert its place among the global powers. The resulting colonial empire left lasting imprints not only on local communities in Africa, the Pacific, and China but also on the German metropole itself. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources from European and African archives, Matthias Leanza demonstrates how the challenges of colonial governance prompted domestic reforms that reshaped the political arena, strengthened federal authority over the states, and sharpened national identity. While Germany's overseas ambitions ended abruptly with the First World War, the legacy of empire endured, embedded within the structures of the nation-state.

  • The Minimalist Program is a long-established branch of Chomsky's Generative approach to linguistics, which, since its first incarnation in the early 1990s, has become one of the most prominent frameworks for syntax. Bringing together a team of world-renowned scholars, this Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to current developments in generative syntactic theory. Split into five thematic parts, the chapters cover the historical context and foundations of the program, overviews of the major areas of research within modern syntactic theory, and a survey of the variety of phenomena dealt with within Minimalism through a focus on concepts, primitives, and operations. It offers in-depth perspectives on the core concepts and operations in the Minimalist Program for readers who are not already familiar with it, as well as a complete overview of the state-of-the-art in the field, making it essential reading for both scholars and students in the field.

  • In this innovative history of the travels of law, Iza R. Hussin explores how law moves, what happens when it arrives, and how it gains its onward momentum and direction. Through the itineraries of Abu Bakar, Sultan of Johor (1833–1895), Hussin uncovers a world of sovereigns in the shadow of empire, from Hawaii to Singapore, Java to Japan, Delhi to Constantinople, Cairo to London. In his travels, Bakar navigated archipelagic and imperial logics of authority, chased sovereignty at sea, and translated Islam across a shifting global landscape. These gave rise to Southeast Asia's first constitution, and the world's longest-running continuous experiment in modern Islamic constitutionalism, revealing histories of imperialism and international law, and forgotten genealogies of sovereignty, constitutionalism, and Asian internationalism. Through the compelling story of Abu Bakar's travels, Hussin argues for a new understanding of the imperial international order, Islamic constitutional history and the making of the modern Muslim state.

  • This graduate-level volume is a coherent and self-contained introduction to Quantum Field Theory, uniquely focused on geometric and non-perturbative aspects. The first part covers quantum fields and Euclidean path integral, Yang-Mills field theories, and Wilsonian renormalization. Wilson's notion of the effective field theory and its heavy implication for the QFT framework itself are given particular attention. Next, geometrical and topological aspects are thoroughly treated, accompanied by a healthy dose of underlying mathematics. Anomalies, or quantum failures of classical symmetries, follow as crucial litmus tests for self-consistency, which are delineated in unprecedented detail, spanning decades of development. In the final part, the book asks how relativistic gravity, known to resist standard quantization schemes, may reconcile with the quantum world. This question is approached by invoking d=2 Weyl anomaly, Hawking effects, black hole partition functions, and the renormalization of fundamental strings, with a view toward quantum gravity and superstring theory.

  • Brazil has captivated global audiences through its vibrant multiculturalism, manifesting in music, football, and gastronomy. However, beyond figures such as Pelé, and cultural staples such as bossa nova and caipirinha, Brazilian culture boasts a distinguished literary tradition, exemplified by writers such as Machado de Assis, Clarice Lispector, and Guimarães Rosa. This volume provides readers with a comprehensive engagement with Brazilian literature, tracing its development in tandem with the nation's social history. The chapters emphasize literary analysis while critically incorporating the sociohistorical contexts that have shaped Brazil's rich cultural landscape. Covering the trajectory from the emergence of the Brazilian novel to contemporary works within the genre, this book guides readers through a broad spectrum of themes, including Blackness, Jorge Amado, Indigeneity, Macunaíma, political violence, feminism, and Graciliano Ramos. Each chapter balances scholarly depth with accessibility, catering both to newcomers to Brazilian studies and to seasoned academics.

The Social Networks of Early Medieval Trading Emporia
  • Harbouring Strangers in a Viking World

  • Trading emporia emerged in Northern Europe in the Early Middle Ages and were the first coin-based markets and urban settlements in this region. In this study, Søren Sindbæk proposes a new account of the origins of these trading centres by tracing their role in hosting strangers. Sindbæk proposes that 'weak' social ties is a widely overlooked middle ground in pre-modern societies that bridge the gap between 'strong' family ties and formal institutions. By adapting cultural norms, networks, and institutions, it was possible to combine a high level of trust within an open form of society. Emporia developed when the ancient conventions of hosting and guest-friendship became insufficient to accommodate the growing connections between peoples brought together through seafaring. Sindbaek demonstrates that the history of emporia is closely linked to the expansion of maritime trade, colonization, piracy, and warfare - the basis for what we know today as the Viking Age.

  • Phase transitions take place when a substance changes from one physical state to another, and they are of fundamental importance in science and engineering with applications ranging from superconductivity to climate science. This Student's Guide coherently examines the underlying dynamics of phase transitions, beginning with a detailed description of phase diagrams and their graphical interpretation, before introducing the Van der Waals equations of state. It progresses to more advanced topics such as mean-field theory in magnetic systems, phase transitions in binary mixtures, and other more exotic types of phase transitions in liquid crystals, superconductors, and superfluids. A separate chapter covers the unique and subtle phase transition dynamics of water. The book includes numerous worked examples and problems, with full solutions available online. It will be a valuable resource for students and life-long learners in physical science and engineering.

Reimagining Persuasion in British Romantic Literature

  • The theory and practice of persuasion, argues Yasmin Solomonescu, was fundamentally reconceived by British Romantic writers at the turn of the nineteenth century. Examining major and lesser-known works by Thomas De Quincey, William Hazlitt, Jane Austen, William Godwin, William Wordsworth, and Percy Shelley, the author deftly explores the emergence of an important new literature and epistemology of persuasion that allowed for doubt, dissent, and changes of mind. This recalibrated notion of persuasion – a uniquely flexible one – was bound up with eighteenth-century developments encompassing both a crisis of belief and the polarization of political discourse during an age of revolution. Dialoguing with cognate fields such as rhetorical studies, philosophy, and the history of belief, the book makes a compelling case for the Romantic reimagining of persuasion as an unacknowledged impetus for the period's literature, a bridge between literature and rhetorical theory, and a resource for literary criticism and civic life today.

Locality and Agency in the Iron Age Mediterranean

  • Against the background of the interest in ancient Mediterranean connectivity and globalization, the present volume examines local places and local communities. Exploring the interplay between the local and the global, the focus shifts from long-distance connections and 'global' trends to the local dimensions of Mediterranean interactions, highlighting how local contexts engaged with their long-distance counterparts. Given the transformative nature of this period and region, our focus is firmly on the western Mediterranean during the first half of the first millennium BCE. Discussions of the local places and local communities of the Iron Age West Mediterranean are wrapped around the twin notions of agency and locality. We argue that everyday local agency produces locality in an ongoing dialectic, ranging from collaboration to struggle, with globalizing influences and colonial forces. The eighteen West Mediterranean case studies are organized around the themes of 'Indigeneity and locality', 'agency and empowerment' and 'practice and production'.

  • Combining compelling field research with sharp analysis, The Politics of Healthcare Expansion unravels why efforts to expand equitable healthcare so often fall short—and why some succeed. Through comparative case studies of Chile, Mexico, and Peru, this book reveals how political party commitment, or the lack of it, shapes the design, implementation, and sustainability of healthcare reform. Moving beyond ideology, it demonstrates the crucial role of programmatic party engagement and analyzes the impact of technocrats and external actors when political parties are weak or disengaged. With timely lessons highlighted by the region's COVID-19 experience, this book offers rigorous insights and practical implications for anyone seeking to understand or influence social policy reform in emerging democracies.

  • Off the Map challenges how international lawyers picture the world. While traditional scholarship continues to treat the 'World Map' of states as natural, this book exposes the discipline's cartographic inheritance and its growing fatigue. Drawing on critical geography, international relations, and media theory, Nikolas M. Rajkovic reveals how global authority now operates less through contiguous territories than through infrastructures, corridors, and nodes. Introducing the concept of 'juriscapes', he illuminates the legal significance of ports, data cable landings, aviation hubs, sanctions screens, and cloud regions-sites where rules bite and power circulates. He also develops the idea of pointillistic geographies, showing how law is enacted through coordinates, flows, and switches that escape the flat image of bordered states. Provocative yet accessible, Off the Map re-visualises international law for a fractured global order, equipping readers with the concepts to see where authority truly moves today.

Misuses of Comparative Law in International Development

  • Misuses of Comparative Law in International Development examines how comparative law has been deployed by international organizations, governments, and NGOs to legitimize legal reforms that entrench inequality and reinforce power hierarchies. These reforms often align development agendas with neoliberal and authoritarian logics. The book exposes the flawed assumptions—such as convergence, efficiency, and legalism-that underpin transnational reform projects like the World Bank's indicators and the harmonization initiatives of the EU and OECD. It shows how these frameworks misrepresent local contexts and silence alternative legal traditions. Introducing a new typology of misuse-from cannibalization to epistemic impoverishment—it reveals how comparative law frequently operates as a tool of domination rather than emancipation. Bridging critique and utopia, the book re-characterizes these misuses as social constructions and reimagines comparative law as a vehicle for equitable, context-sensitive, and redistributive legal reform.

Free Flow of Information
  • Hegemony, Contestation, and International Law

  • The book offers a critical history of how international law governs information to entrench unequal distribution of wealth and power since the end of World War II. Mapping doctrinal and institutional developments of various subfields in international law that concern the organization of cross-border information flow, this book identifies a dual-sided framework consisting human rights and free trade as a hegemonic framework for the governance of information. Drawing on Marxist legal theory, Third World Approaches to International Law, critical media studies, and heterodox political economy, the book argues that this framework, despite persistent internal contradictions and external contestations, has evolved to facilitate the expansion of capital and reproduce hierarchy throughout three eras of capitalist transformations of the past eight decades.
