This book provides a demographic profile of the Syrian diaspora
into Europe and identifies the issue of forced migration as a
separate and increasingly salient topic within the more general
field of migration research. It describes the progressive increase
in numbers of Syrian refugees in different European countries
during recent years and gives a demographic profile of the Syrian
refugee population. The book also compares and synthesizes the
demographic profiles presented, to show how the population of
Syrian refugees differs from country to county in terms of age
structure, sex ratio, family status, educational attainment and
other social and economic characteristics. By providing a solid
empirical portrait based on national and international statistics,
this book will be a great resource to students, academics in
migration and refugee studies as well as social scientists and
policy-makers in European countries.

Geoffrey Chaucer was not a writer, primarily, but a privileged
official place-holder. Prone to violence, including rape, assault,
and extortion, the poet was employed first at domestic personal
service and subsequently at policework of various sorts, protecting
the established order during a period of massive social upset.
"Chaucer's Jobs" shows that the servile and disciplinary nature of
the daily work Chaucer did was repeated in his poetry, which by
turns flatters his aristocratic betters and deals out discipline to
malcontent others. Carlson contends that it was this social and
political quality of Chaucer's writings, rathen than artistic
merit, that made him the "Father of English Poetry."

cloud computing, social media, and HR analytics. Numerous examples,
best practices, discussion questions, and case studies make this
book the most student-friendly and current text on the market.
The focus of this volume is to address a fundamental concept in
political thought-the state of nature-through a comparative and
cross-cultural approach. Western social contract thinking usually
falls along lines identified with scholars like Hobbes or Rousseau,
with accordant debate over whether humans are good, bad, or just
selfish, conflict prone or cooperative, egocentric or altruistic,
with subordinate discussions about the proper limits of sovereign
authority. Depending on how one views the natural condition of
human beings and the communities which they build, various
questions arise. What constitutes a good or natural political order
and why? What is the best basis for understanding the nature of
sovereignty or political legitimacy, and what is its future? In an
age of increased global interaction and potential cultural,
civilization-based, misunderstanding, this volume takes the
Hobbesian rhetorical device of a pre-social contract state of
nature and seeks to address this concept-and thereby, many of the
aforementioned questions-in light of contributions from non-Western
thinkers.In our globalizing age when cultures and peoples
increasingly talk and interact, it is not viable to use only
Western political thinkers to address allegedly universal concepts.
So we overtly seek to break open the frame of reference for any
future discussion of the state of nature. This volume will add to
the emerging body of work grouped under the heading of Comparative
Political Thought, and serves as a model for how key political
concepts may be addressed in a comparative and cross-civilizational
manner. This has the potential of contributing to a richer and
multifaceted mode of political theorizing. Chapters in the book
engage Chinese, Indic, Polynesian, Jewish, Babylonian, and Islamic
interpretations of this fundamental question of politics. From
this, one may better see how competing normative frameworks are
then reflected in the practice of worldly politics. In addressing
competing interpretations of the state of nature, the exclusionary
hegemonic aspects of the Western canon may be both exposed and
potentially reconciled with alternative visions of political
behavior, legitimacy, justice, rights, and appropriate social and
political behavior.
Piratical attacks have become more frequent, violent, costly and
increasingly threaten to undermine order in the international
system. Much attention has focused on Somalia, but piracy is a
problem worldwide. Recent coordination efforts among states in
South East Asia appear to have helped in the area, but elsewhere
piracy has expanded. Interestingly, international law has long
recognized piracy as a crime and provided tools for universal
suppression, yet piracy persists.
In this book, a handpicked group of leading experts in the field
of International Relations use maritime piracy as a means to expose
the incongruities in our understanding of global governance. Using
broadly constructivist approaches to understand international
actors responses to the challenges created by maritime piracy, the
contributors question a number of myths and misconceptions around
piracy and analyze the various ways that international law and
organizations channel actors understandings of maritime piracy and
their efforts to respond to it. In doing so, they expose some shaky
foundations for IR theorists: how do we conceive of governance and
legitimacy when they are delinked from the territorial aspect of
the modern nation-state? What happens to prospects for cooperation
when we get to the nitty-gritty questions of practice related to
paying for trials, imprisoning and maintaining captured pirates,
bearing the burden of policing sea-lanes, or even determining what
constitutes a pirate? Does anyone have a monopoly on the legitimate
use of force at sea, and how is that legitimacy constructed?
Maritime Piracy and the Construction of Global Governance offers
an improved theoretical understanding of the response of the
international community to maritime piracy and broadens our
understanding of the complex and sometimes countervailing
motivations of all the actors involved, from international
organizations and states down to the pirates themselves.

Violence has been a central feature of AmericaOCOs history,
culture, and place in the world. It has taken many forms: from
state-sponsored uses of force such as war or law enforcement, to
revolution, secession, terrorism and other actions with important
political and cultural implications. Religion also holds a crucial
place in the American experience of violence, particularly for
those who have found order and meaning in their worlds through
religious texts, symbols, rituals, and ideas. Yet too often the
religious dimensions of violence, especially in the American
context, are ignored or overstatedOCoin either case, poorly
understood. "From Jeremiad to Jihad: Religion, Violence, and
America" corrects these misunderstandings. Charting and
interpreting the tendrils of religion and violence, this book
reveals how formative moments of their intersection in American
history have influenced the ideas, institutions, and identities
associated with the United States. Religion and violence provide
crucial yet underutilized lenses for seeing America
anewOCoincluding its outlook on, and relation to, the world.
