        I'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

        Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States

        Power, identity and strategy in the Persian Gulf triangle

        by Luíza Cerioli

        This book offers a nuanced snapshot of the complex geopolitical dynamics in the Persian Gulf, underlining the interaction between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Examining their interwoven relations since the 1970s, Luíza Cerioli's framework reveals how changes in US-Saudi ties have ripple effects on Iran-US and Iran-Saudi relations and vice versa. Using a historical lens, she explores how enduring US-Saudi connections hinge on order expectations, delves into the cognitive factors shaping US-Iran enmity and traces the source of oscillation in the Saudi-Iran ties. Employing Neoclassical Realism, the book investigates status-seeking, national identities and leadership preferences, offering a deeper understanding of the region's multipolar system. By combining International Relations and Middle East Studies, Cerioli's work contributes to both fields, unravelling the intricate interplay between international structures, regional nuances and agency in shaping Persian Gulf geopolitics.

        Latin America and international investment law

        A mosaic of resistance

        by Sufyan Droubi, Cecilia Juliana Flores Elizondo

        Latin America has been a complex laboratory for the development of international investment law. While some governments and non-state actors have remained true to the Latin American tradition of resistance towards the international investment law regime, other governments and actors have sought to accommodate said regime in the region. Consequently, a profusion of theories and doctrines, too often embedded in clashing narratives, has emerged. In Latin America, the practice of international investment law is the vivid amalgamation of the practice of governments sometimes resisting and sometimes welcoming mainstream approaches; the practice of lawyers assisting foreign investors from outside and within the region; and the practice of civil society, indigenous peoples and other actors in their struggle for human rights and sustainable development. Latin America and international investment law describes the complex roles that governments have played vis-à-vis foreign investors and investments; the refreshing but clashing forces that international organizations, corporations, civil society, and indigenous peoples have brought to the field; and the contribution that Latin America has made to the development of the theory and practice of international investment law, notably in fields in which the Latin American experience has been traumatic: human rights and sustainable development. Latin American scholars have been contributing to the theory of international investment law for over a century; resting on the shoulders of true giants, this volume aims at pushing this contribution a little further.

        A grand strategy of peace

        Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945

        by Andrew Ehrhardt

        A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

        Texte zur aktuellen Handlungstheorie

        by Christoph Horn, Guido Löhrer

        Sind Handlungen und Handlungserklärungen naturalisierbar? Wie verhalten sich alltagspsychologische und naturwissenschaftliche Erklärungen zueinander? Lassen sich Ausdrücke wie »Zielgerichtetheit«, »Angemessenheit« etc. kausal interpretieren? Gegen den philosophischen Mainstream, der alltagspsychologische Handlungserklärungen als Spielart kausaler Erklärungen betrachtet, hat sich in den letzten Jahren eine Opposition formiert, die Handlungserklärungen für irreduzibel teleologisch hält: Die Erklärung einer Handlung sollte das Ziel betrachten, auf das sich das Verhalten eines rationalen Akteurs richtet, und nicht dessen kausale Vorgeschichte. Der Band versammelt – größtenteils erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die wichtigsten Beiträge zur neueren analytischen Handlungstheorie, u. a. von Donald Davidson, Harry Frankfurt, Ruth Millikan und Michael Thompson, und bietet einen Überblick über die aktuelle Gründe-Zwecke-Debatte.

        Was ist Populismus?

        Ein Essay

        by Jan-Werner Müller

        Wer wird heute nicht alles als Populist bezeichnet: Gegner der Eurorettung, Figuren wie Marine Le Pen, Politiker des Mainstream, die meinen, dem Volk aufs Maul schauen zu müssen. Vielleicht ist ein Populist aber auch einfach nur ein populärer Konkurrent, dessen Programm man nicht mag, wie Ralf Dahrendorf einmal anmerkte? Lässt sich das Phänomen schärfer umreißen und seine Ursachen erklären? Worin besteht der Unterschied zwischen Rechts- und Linkspopulismus? Jan-Werner Müller nimmt aktuelle Entwicklungen zum Ausgangspunkt, um eine Theorie des Populismus zu skizzieren und Populismus letztlich klar von der Demokratie abzugrenzen. Seine Thesen helfen zudem, neue Strategien in der Auseinandersetzung mit Populisten zu entwickeln.

        Sovereignty disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea

        A public order perspective

        by Thomas D. Grant

        Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.

        Bordering social reproduction

        Migrant mothers and children making lives in the shadows

        by Rachel Rosen, Eve Dickson

        Bordering social reproduction explores what happens when migrants subject to policies that seek to deny them the means of life nonetheless endeavour to make and sustain meaningful lives. Developing innovative theorisations of welfare bordering, the volume provides rich ethnographic insights into the everyday lives of destitute mothers and children who are denied mainstream welfare support in the United Kingdom due to their immigration status. This book shows how enforced destitution and debt work alongside detention and deportation as part of a tripartite of exclusionary technologies of the racial state. It advances the novel concept of weathering to comprehend mother's and children's life-making practices under duress - arguing that these are neither acts of heroic resilience nor solely symptomatic of lives rendered disposable, but indications of the fragilities of repressive migration regimes and, on occasion, refusals to accept their terms of existence.

        Die Wiederentdeckung des Psychedelischen

        by Paul-Philipp Hanske, Benedikt Sarreiter

        Ende der siebziger Jahre zeigte sich Albert Hofmann schwer enttäuscht vom Schicksal der von ihm entdeckten »Wunderdroge«: LSD – mein Sorgenkind lautete der Titel des damals erschienenen Erinnerungsbuchs. Hatte man die Substanz noch in den sechziger Jahren als Königsweg zur Erkundung der Psyche gefeiert, folgte bald der Rückschlag: Halluzinogene wurden flächendeckend verboten, ein Effekt des »War on Drugs«. Heute scheint das Tabu zu bröckeln: Weltweit wird über die Legalisierung von Marihuana diskutiert; junge Menschen pilgern an den Amazonas, um sich mit Ayahuasca auf Jenseitsreise zu begeben; Mediziner erforschen das therapeutische Potenzial von MDMA oder der Pilzdroge Psilocybin; selbst im Mainstream-Kino wird an den Pforten der Wahrnehmung gerüttelt. Die Autoren beleuchten die Renaissance des Psychedelischen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, sprechen mit Hirnforschern, Usern und Juristen. Sie befassen sich mit dem Menschheitsthema Rausch und erklären, warum ihm kein Verbot einen Riegel vorschieben wird.

        Entweder ich habe die Fahrt am Mississippi nur geträumt, oder ich träume jetzt

        by Oswald Egger

        Fließt – alles? Wie ein fortschreitend oskulierendes Wogengewölle in Form von Worten und Formen ohne Worte, Strudelungen, Zerstreuungen und Häufungen selbstüberwälzter Vorwärtswellen von Reverien, die über die Ufer der inneren Landschaft vorüberschwimmen. Als ob Beziehungslinien im »Bewusstseinsstrom«, die einander berühren und liieren, sich schneiden, überlagern und wiederhin verlieren – wie die Linien einer Hand. Ganz unscheinbare Verursachungen, die jeweils zu Wirk- und Fließlinien führen, setzten sich fort im grellen, kruden Wechsel der Wortbewegungsbilder selbst, der Gedankenhäufung, der Winke und Unstetigkeiten abrupt wechselnder Aspekte. In seinem neuen, mit zahlreichen Zeichnungen und Malereien aufwändig gestalteten Buch folgt Oswald Egger der Erinnerung an die selber unerinnerte Erfahrung österreichischer Auswanderer nach Amerika in den Jahren 1880 bis 1919, folgt den geflüsterten und inwendigen Stimmenverbindungen, den Wirbelfäden des Erzählten durch Bergwerke und Wälder bis zum großen Gewässer: Wenn im Fließgefüge von Eindrücken und Empfindungen die Sätze, Wörter und Sachen als eine Menge kleiner Inseln erscheinen, wird der Mississippi zum Mainstream der verschwiegenen Geschichte der Ideen, die zwischen den Welten im Fluss sind.

        A history of humanitarianism, 1755–1989

        In the name of others

        by Silvia Salvatici

        The book traces the history of international humanitarianism from the anti-slavery movement to the end of the cold war. It is based on an extensive survey of the international literature and is retold in an original narrative that relies on a close examination of the sources. The reconstruction of humanitarianism's long history unfolds around some crucial moments and events: the colonial expansion of European countries, the two world wars and their aftermaths, the emergence of a new postcolonial order. In terms of its contents, narrative style, interpretative approach the book is aimed at a large and diverse public including: scholars who are studying and teaching humanitarianism; students who need to learn about humanitarianism as part of their training or research; operators and volunteers who are engaged in the field; non-specialist readers who are interested in the topic because of its relevance to current events.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        US diplomacy and the Good Friday Agreement in post-conflict Northern Ireland

        by Richard Hargy

        Richard Haass and Mitchell Reiss, as autonomous diplomats in the George W. Bush State Department, were able to alter US intervention in Northern Ireland and play critical roles in the post-1998 peace process. Their contributions have not been fully appreciated or understood. The restoration of Northern Ireland's power-sharing government in 2007 was made possible by State Department-led intervention in the peace process. There are few references to Northern Ireland in work examining the foreign policy legacy of the George W. Bush presidency. Moreover, the ability to control US foreign policy towards the region brought one of George W. Bush's Northern Ireland special envoys into direct diplomatic conflict with the most senior actors inside the British government. This book will uncover the extent of this fall-out and provide original accounts on how diplomatic relations between these old allies became so fraught.

        Settlers at the end of empire

        Race and the politics of migration in South Africa, Rhodesia and the United Kingdom

        by Jean Smith

        Settlers at the end of empire traces the development of racialised migration regimes in South Africa, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) and the United Kingdom from the Second World War to the end of apartheid in 1994. While South Africa and Rhodesia, like other settler colonies, had a long history of restricting the entry of migrants of colour, in the 1960s under existential threat and after abandoning formal ties with the Commonwealth they began to actively recruit white migrants, the majority of whom were British. At the same time, with the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the British government began to implement restrictions aimed at slowing the migration of British subjects of colour. In all three nations, these policies were aimed at the preservation of nations imagined as white, revealing the persistence of the racial ideologies of empire across the era of decolonisation.
