This book provides a history of the ethnic persecution of the
Rohingyas in Myanmar and their disputed ethnic and national
identity. It focuses on how the crisis has morphed into a
geopolitical encounter among Bangladesh, China, India, and Myanmar.
It further explores the moral, ethnographic, and public policy
issues in the humanitarian response to the crisis of the Rohingya
people. The volume analyzes the question of citizenship for the
Rohingyas by analyzing historical documents and interviews which
chronicle the status and identity of the community and their past
involvement in the government and politics of Myanmar. The authors
focus specifically on the changing geopolitical context of state
formation in South Asia and the tense relationships between Myanmar
and its neighbours - Bangladesh, China, and India. The book
examines the alliances and disputes in the South and Southeast Asia
region, which are predicated on economic and strategic gains, and
their impact on the Rohingya crisis. It also looks at the failure
of bilateral and multilateral negotiations among these countries to
adequately address or alleviate the plight of the stateless
Rohingyas. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of international studies, peace, human rights and
conflict studies, sociology, ethnic studies, border studies,
migration and diaspora studies, discrimination and exclusion
studies, public policy, and Asian Studies. It will also be useful
for professionals working in the media, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), think tanks, and policy makers, as well as
general readers interested in the history of the persecution of the
Rohingya people.
This book critically examines the debate on Martin Heidegger's
concept of Entscheidung ("decision") and his engagement and
confrontation with Nazism in terms of his broader philosophical
thought. It argues that one cannot explain Heidegger's actions
without accounting for his idea of "decision" and its connection to
his understanding of individual "fate" and national (and European)
"destiny." The book looks at the relation of biography to
philosophy and the ethical and political implications of
appropriating Heidegger's thinking in these domains of inquiry. It
highlights themes such as Heidegger's differences with the
neo-Kantians in Germany; Heidegger on Kant and practical reason;
and his reading of Nietzsche and Hegel. It offers a philosophical
assessment grounded in Heidegger's own texts, with reference to
historical and other philosophical commentaries on the rise of
National Socialism in post-Weimar Germany and the philosophical
issues associated with the interpretation of Nazi genocide and
ideology. An important intervention in Western philosophy, this
book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of
political philosophy, continental philosophy, German philosophy,
philosophy in general, and political studies.

Co-Existing in a Globalized World: Key Themes in Inter-Professional
Ethics brings together, and engages with, the scholarly work
accomplished individually under the banner of professional ethics
in various fields. The overarching theme of the volume is that
globalization inevitably pairs professionals from distinct fields
as co-workers. This necessitates serious reflection on how diverse
fields can co-exist and achieve superior results through combining
best practices from each. The authors are leading scholars and
practitioners who have diverse national and distinguished
professional backgrounds. These authors particularly focus on
ethical concerns emerging from the inherent symbiotic relationship
between cultural boundaries, professions and globalization.
Furthermore, they put focused emphasis on ethical compliance with
regard to globalization of professional practices into various
cultural settings. The fields represented in the volume include
international law, comparative education, East-West relations,
engineering and bio-medical ethics, research ethics, and
international professionalism in a cross-cultural context.
Comparative Political Theory and Cross-Cultural Philosophy: Essays
in Honor of Hwa Yol Jung explores new forms of philosophizing in
the age of globalization by challenging the conventional border
between the East and the West, as well as the traditional
boundaries among different academic disciplines. The essays in this
volume examine diverse issues, encompassing globalization,
cosmopolitanism, public philosophy, political ecology,
ecocriticism, ethics of encounter, and aesthetics of caring. They
examine the philosophical traditions of phenomenology of Hursserl,
Merleau-Ponty, and Heidegger; the dialogism of Mikhail Bakhtin; the
philosophy of mestizaje literature; and Asian philosophical
traditions. This rich comparative and cross-cultural investigation
of philosophy and political theory demonstrates the importance of
cultural and cross-cultural understanding in our reading of
philosophical texts, exploring how cross-cultural thinking
transforms our understanding of the traditional philosophical
paradigm and political theory. This volume honors the scholarship
and philosophy of Hwa Yol Jung, who has been a pioneer in the field
of comparative political theory, cross-cultural philosophy, and
interdisciplinary scholarship. In one of his earliest publications,
The Crisis of Political Understanding (1979), Jung described the
urgency and necessity of breakthrough in political thinking as a
crisis, and he followed up on this issue for his half century of
scholarship by introducing Asian philosophy and political thought
to Western scholarship, demonstrating the possibility of
cross-cultural philosophical thinking. In his most recent
publications, Jung refers to this possibility as "transversality"
or "trans(uni)versality," a concept which should replace the
outmoded Eurocentric universality of modernist philosophy. Jung
expounds that in "transversality," "differences are negotiated and
compromised rather than effaced and absorbed into sameness." This
volume is a testimony to the very possibility of

In a call to planetary thinking, planetary building, and planetary
dwelling, Norman K. Swazo discusses Heidegger's thought as it
relates to issues of global politics, specifically, the domain of
world order studies. In the first division of the book, Swazo
provides a theoretical critique of world order studies understood
in the two modes of normative and technocratic futurism. The book's
second division includes a preliminary attempt to clarify what
Heidegger's call for "essential thinking" entails for political
thinking. This signifies a new beginning for political discourse,
heralded in the possibility of "essential political thinking" that
Swazo calls "autarchology."
Judaism and Christianity have different meanings for the concept of
`God.' These religions rely on different transmitted texts.
Different words - in the biblical Hebrew, biblical Greek, biblical
Latin, biblical English - contribute to confusion in meaning. For
example, what does `elohim' mean? Is there a difference between
`Yah' and `Yahweh'? This book examines this confusion in meaning in
the biblical texts. This confusion is at the heart of the divorce
of Judaism and Christianity. Despite this, we can have a new way of
understanding the concept "God", by which one may re-examine and
support a minority point of view in rabbinic tradition, known as
the "two powers in heaven" doctrine. Given this revision, there is
ample reason for enlightened renewal of a "messianic"
interpretation of both Jewish and Christian faiths. This book,
therefore, speaks to theologians, philosophers of religion with
interests in Jewish and Christian religious traditions, students of
philosophy, and informed believers.
