Liquid Nationalism and State Partitions in Europe (Hardcover): Stefano Bianchini Liquid Nationalism and State Partitions in Europe (Hardcover)
Stefano Bianchini
R3,723 Discovery Miles 37 230 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This timely book offers an in-depth exploration of state partitions and the history of nationalism in Europe from the Enlightenment onwards. Stefano Bianchini compares traditional national democratic development to the growing transnational demands of representation with a focus on transnational mobility and empathy versus national localism against the EU project. In an era of multilevel identity, global economic and asylum seeker crises, nationalism is becoming more liquid which in turn strengthens the attractiveness of 'ethnic purity' and partitions, affects state stability, and the nature of national democracy in Europe. The result may be exposure to the risk of new wars, rather than enhanced guarantees of peace. Included is a rare and insightful comparative assessment of the lessons not learned from the Yugoslav demise, the Czechoslovak partition, the Baltic trajectory from USSR incorporation to EU integration, and the impact of ethnicity in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Beyond their peculiarities, these examples are used to critically assess the growing liquidity of national identities and their relationship with democracy. Those seeking a deeper understanding of the European partition experience will find this an immensely valuable resource.

Eastern Europe and the Challenges of Modernity, 1800-2000 (Paperback): Stefano Bianchini Eastern Europe and the Challenges of Modernity, 1800-2000 (Paperback)
Stefano Bianchini
R1,536 Discovery Miles 15 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents a concise and comprehensive overview of the mainstream flows of ideas, politics and itineraries towards modernity in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans over two centuries from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the Gorbachev administration. Unlike other books on the subject which view modernity based on the idea of Western European supremacy, this book outlines the various different pathways of development, and of growing industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation which took place across the region. It provides rich insights on the complex networks whereby very varied ideas, aspirations and policies interacted to bring about a varied pattern of progress, and of integration and isolation, with different areas moving in different ways and at different paces. Overall the book presents something very different from the traditional picture of the" two Europes". Particular examples covered include agrarian reform movements, in various phases, different models of socialism, and different models of socialist reform.

Partitions - Reshaping States and Minds (Paperback): Stefano Bianchini, Sanjay Chaturvedi, Rada Ivekovic, Ranabir Samaddar Partitions - Reshaping States and Minds (Paperback)
Stefano Bianchini, Sanjay Chaturvedi, Rada Ivekovic, Ranabir Samaddar
R1,404 Discovery Miles 14 040 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The partition of the Indian subcontinent, the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, the reunification of Germany, the continuing feud between two Koreas, the Irish peace process, the case of Israel/Palestine and the lingering division of Cyprus, have together given rise to a huge body of literature. However, studies of partitions have usually focused on individual cases. This innovative volume uses comparative analysis to fill the gap in partition studies and examines cross-cutting issues such as: * violence * state formation * union and regional unification * geopolitics * transition.

R1,666 Discovery Miles 16 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume collects the notes of the CIME course "Nonlinear PDE s and applications" held in Cetraro (Italy) on June 23 28, 2008. It consists of four series of lectures, delivered by Stefano Bianchini (SISSA, Trieste), Eric A. Carlen (Rutgers University), Alexander Mielke (WIAS, Berlin), and Cedric Villani (Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon). They presented a broad overview of far-reaching findings and exciting new developments concerning, in particular, optimal transport theory, nonlinear evolution equations, functional inequalities, and differential geometry. A sampling of the main topics considered here includes optimal transport, Hamilton-Jacobi equations, Riemannian geometry, and their links with sharp geometric/functional inequalities, variational methods for studying nonlinear evolution equations and their scaling properties, and the metric/energetic theory of gradient flows and of rate-independent evolution problems. The book explores the fundamental connections between all of these topics and points to new research directions in contributions by leading experts in these fields.

R1,383 Discovery Miles 13 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The theory of nonlinear hyperbolic equations in several space dimensions has recently obtained remarkable achievements. This volume provides an up-to-date overview of the status and perspectives of two areas of research in PDEs, related to hyperbolic conservation laws. The captivating volume contains surveys of recent deep results and provides an overview of further developments and related open problems. Readers should have basic knowledge of PDE and measure theory.
