The book focuses on the relations between small states and
alliances. It is on why, how and under what conditions states
engage in alliances. What are the benefits and costs of alliances?
How are the benefits and costs of alliances allocated among their
members? What determines who allies with whom? Can small states
still pursue their own security interests within an alliance? Can
they even become integral part of an alliance? Scholars,
practitioners, policy-makers and advisors from several countries
discuss these issues. They address historical, empirical and
theoretical topics and give policy recommendations.
The international political and military-strategic importance of
the Asian continent has dramatically increased in recent years and
it is conceivable that world affairs in this century will be
significantly influenced by developments in Asia.
This volume examines, on the one hand, the strategic goals of the
most influential powers in the Eurasian region - in particular
India, Pakistan, China, Russia and Japan, but also the USA that is
strongly involved in the region, and on the other, the relations
that these states have with each other. Special attention is paid
to the subjective perceptions and thought patterns of the different
players, for the perception that international political players
have of the outside world is an important element that is
frequently neglected in political and military analyses.

Wounded Feelings is the first legal history of emotions in Canada.
Through detailed histories of how people litigated emotional
injuries like dishonour, humiliation, grief, and betrayal before
the Quebec civil courts from 1870 to 1950, Eric H. Reiter explores
the confrontation between people's lived experience of emotion and
the legal categories and terminology of lawyers, judges, and
courts. Drawing on archival case files, newspapers, and
contemporary legal writings, he examines how individuals narrated
their claims of injured feelings and how the courts assessed those
claims using legal rules, social norms, and the judges' own
feelings to validate certain emotional injuries and reject others.
The cases reveal both contemporary views of emotion as well as the
family, gender, class, linguistic, and racial dynamics that shaped
those understandings and their adjudication. Examples include a
family's grief over their infant son's death due to a physician's
prescription error, a wealthy woman's mortification at being
harassed by a conductor aboard a train, and a Black man's
indignation at being denied seats at a Montreal cinema. The book
also traces an important legal change in how moral injury was
conceptualized in Quebec civil law over the period as it came to be
linked to the developing idea of personality rights. By 1950 the
subjective richness of stories of wounded feelings was increasingly
put into the language of violated rights, a development with
implications for both social understandings of emotion and how
individuals presented their emotional injuries in court.
