Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book presents a new theoretical framework through which to
understand the role of regional powers in creating and maintaining
regional security orders. As a result of the retreat of the global
powers since the end of the Cold War, it has become clear that
international security dynamics are less explicable without
considering the regional level as a primary focus for most states.
The authors contend that these dynamics, which include the
identification, management and prevention of security threats, are
heavily influenced by regional powers. The regional level in this
text is defined on the basis of regional sub-systems, more
specifically Regional Security Complexes. Within this context, the
authors utilize their framework to address how security orders are
defined and how regional powers are identified. The focus then
turns to an analysis of how the roles and foreign policy
orientations of regional powers, conditioned by the presence of
material capabilities, affect the development of regional security
orders. The authors then present a comparative analysis of Russia,
Brazil and India within their own security complexes to demonstrate
an application of the framework. This book will be of interest to
students of regional security, international security, foreign
policy and International Relations in general.
Now fully adapted for the Europe, Middle East & Africa market,
Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extensions delivers
cutting-edge treatment of microeconomics together with an ideal
level of mathematical rigour. Aimed directly at upper level
undergraduate students and graduate students, the book teaches
users how to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world
applications, and the latest developments within the study of
microeconomics. It provides clear and accurate coverage of advanced
microeconomic concepts and illustrates how the theory applies to
practical situations. In addition, the text s helps to build
student intuition by including a new two-tier end-of-chapter
problem that begins with simple numerical/mathematical exercises
followed by more analytical, theoretical, and complex problems.
This book presents a varied and critical picture of how the Arab
Spring demands a re-examination and re-conceptualization of issues
of transitional justice. It demonstrates how unique features of
this wave of revolutions and popular protests that have swept the
Arab world since December 2010 give rise to distinctive concerns
and problems relative to transitional justice. The contributors
explore how these issues in turn add fresh perspective and nuance
to the field more generally. In so doing, it explores fundamental
questions of social justice, reconstruction and healing in the
context of the Arab Spring. Including the perspectives of academics
and practitioners, Transitional Justice and the Arab Spring will be
of considerable interest to those working on the politics of the
Middle East, normative political theory, transitional justice,
international law, international relations and human rights.

This is a music theory text that presents a systematic approach to
polyphonic composition in the ecclesiastical style of Palestrina.
It is designed for use in beginning and intermediate level courses
in modal counterpoint and helps students develop a systematic and
reliable method to compare individual composers and stylistic
trends of the Renaissance. It contains a comprehensive collection
of Palestrina's works as well as selections from Lassus. Tear-out
exercises can be used in conjunction with the text.

There are many textbooks on research methods, plenty of books on
popular science, and specialist texts on a whole range of academic
fields. However, few bring these together as a framework for a
career involving research, and few attempt a practical appraisal of
the challenges and opportunities involved in being 'a researcher'.
Here, the principles underlying humanity's past and continuing
acquisition of knowledge are illustrated across a variety of
academic fields, from history to quantum physics - telling stories
of clever and inventive people with good ideas, but also of
personalities, politics, and power. This book draws together these
strands to provide an informal and concise account of knowledge
acquisition in all its guises. Having set out what research hopes
to achieve, and why we are all researchers at heart, early chapters
describe the basic principles underlying this - ways of thinking
which may date back to the philosophers of the Athenian marketplace
but are still powerful influences on the way research is carried
out today. Drawing on a broad range of disciplines, Stewart takes
the reader well beyond the pure 'scientific method', which might
work well enough in physics or chemistry but falls apart in life
sciences, let alone humanities. Later chapters consider the
realities of carrying out research and the ways in which these
continue to shape its progress - researchers and their
personalities, their employers, funding, publication, political
forces, and power structures. Written in an accessible and engaging
style, this book is for anyone embarking on a research project or
beginning to think about a career involving research, and for those
in need of refocusing on why they started research in the first
place.
The Struggle for the Scepter offers a richly-detailed narrative
history of the relationship between the British Parliament and the
Crown during the 18th century. Drawing on extensive primary source
documents-including political pamphlets, diaries, and
correspondence exchanged by major political players of the
period-the book traces the gradual decline of the Crown's power
throughout the century, such that by 1800, political power had
shifted to what might be called a modern parliamentary system. The
Struggle for the Scepter persuasively links this significant shift
to the British nation's recognition of five principal truths by
century's end: [1] That unified political parties based on
principle rather than personality were here to stay. [2] That this
was a good thing, in part because without party organization and
party discipline it proved impossible to manage a House of Commons
of roughly 550 Members; and, in part because the notion of a loyal
Opposition came to be seen as beneficial, both for the sake of
overseeing public administration and checking not only royal power
but the power of a parliamentary majority. [3] That the Monarch
must only appoint as ministers those that commanded a majority in
the House of Commons. [4] That with regards to policy the Monarch
must accept the dictates of those ministers. [5] That the
organization of the parliamentary majority centered on a First, or
Prime, Minister who headed a unified Cabinet; that is, a Cabinet
based on collective responsibility and a Cabinet which spoke with
one voice, through the Cabinet Minute, to the Monarch. Clayton
Roberts brings his shrewd command of British political history to
bear on this meticulously researched and fascinating account of a
turbulent and transformative century in British politics. The
result is an engaging and insightful work that should appeal to
scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested
in the origins of the British parliamentary system and political
history more broadly.

This study explores Iranian influence in Afghanistan and the
implications for the United States after most U.S. forces depart
Afghanistan in 2014. Iran has substantial economic, political,
cultural, and religious leverage in Afghanistan. Although Iran will
attempt to shape a post-2014 Afghanistan, Iran and the United
States share core interests: to prevent the country from again
becoming dominated by the Taliban and a safe haven for al Qaeda.
