The contributors to this book explore approaches to building a
framework for nuclear governance in the Asia-Pacific - encompassing
nuclear safety, security, and safeguards/non-proliferation. Nuclear
governance collaboration offers an avenue for states in the
Asia-Pacific to tackle the emerging opportunities for and
challenges to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and the civilian
applications of nuclear and radioactive materials. The nature of
national actions, bilateral initiatives and regional cooperation in
capacity building taking place in East Asia provides a good
foundation to pursue a more robust collaborative framework for
nuclear governance in the wider Asia-Pacific region. The
contributors to this book explore the most critical nuclear safety,
security and non-proliferation issues faced by states in the
Asia-Pacific and the growing cooperation spearheaded by Southeast
Asian countries, China, Japan, South Korea and the United States.
This book is a valuable read for academics working on security and
strategic studies, international relations, non-traditional
security issues as well as nuclear-related issues.
The outrage sparked by the Danish cartoon affair the publication of
images of the Prophet Muhammad in the European press was a sharp
reminder of the potency of the cartoon in the modern media. It is
one of the most popular and effective means of communication. By
exaggerating and exasperating, cartoons by their very nature lack
neutrality, and the cartoon is an important weapon in the Middle
Eastern crisis. In response to the Danish cartoon affair, an
Iranian newspaper announced a competition for cartoons about the
Holocaust, even though it had nothing to do with Israel or the
Jewish people. Antisemitic cartoons have long been rife in the
Arab-Muslim media. The September 2001 Durban Conference against
Racism, intended to denounce and combat racism in all its forms,
also featured the distribution of antisemitic cartoons by an Arab
organization, yet this elicited no reaction from Western NGOs at
the conference. This event set the author on a trail that revealed
thousands of such draw
Representations of "the Jew" have long been a topic of interest in Joyce studies. Neil Davison argues that Joyce's lifelong encounter with pseudo-scientific, religious, and political discourse about "the Jew" forms a unifying component of his career. He offers new biographical material, and presents a detailed reading of Ulysses to show how Joyce confronts the controversy of "race," the psychology of internalized stereotype, and the contradictions of fin-de-siècle anti-Semitism.
Trials of the Diaspora presents the long and troubling history of
anti-Semitism in England, from the middle ages to the twenty-first
century. Anthony Julius identifies four distinct versions of
English anti-Semitism, which he then investigates in detail. The
first is the anti-Semitism of medieval England, a radical prejudice
of defamation, expropriation, and murder, which culminated in 1290,
the year of Edward I's expulsion of the Jews from England, after
which there were no Jews left to torment. The second major strand
is literary anti-Semitism: an anti-Semitic account of Jews
continuously reappearing in English literature, from the anonymous
medieval ballad "Sir Hugh, or the Jew's Daughter" through
Shakespeare to Charles Dickens, T. S. Eliot, and beyond. Thirdly,
Julius addresses modern anti-Semitism, a quotidian anti-Semitism of
insult and partial exclusion, pervasive but contained, experienced
by Jews from their 'readmission' to England in the mid-17th century
through to the late 20th century. The final chapters then deal with
contemporary anti-Semitism, a new configuration of anti-Zionisms,
emerging in the late 1960s and the 1970s, which treats Zionism and
the State of Israel as illegitimate Jewish enterprises. It is this
final perspective which, in Julius's opinion, now constitutes the
greatest threat to Anglo-Jewish security and morale. This book, the
first history of its kind, has already provoked much comment and
debate in its hardback edition, coming as a timely reminder that
English culture has been in no way immune to anti-Semitism - and in
certain ways is still not to this day. The paperback edition now
includes a new preface by the author and a conclusion delineating
the main categories of anti-Semitic prejudice.
