The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

Why does 1919 deserve further study and debate a hundred years later? What lessons for global history may we learn from the world order created at the end of the Great War? Drawing insight from the global turn of the past several decades that has forced us to reconsider the most important world events and processes since the French Revolution and especially the growing interest in World War I as a global conflict that extended far beyond the borders of Europe this volume explores the global political ramifications of the treaties prepared at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 by focusing on key topics: how the Paris Peace Conference re-shaped the geo-political configurations of the Middle East the importance of transformations in Asia and particularly China in the immediate postwar period the shifts in Southeastern Europe new feminist movements in Central Europe and the pre-history of neoliberalism. Read together the papers demonstrate how the peace treaties signed in 1919 and 1920 marked a profound transformation on local national continental and global scales. | The Making of a World Order Global Historical Perspectives on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles

COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

This book provides a quantitative and qualitative overview of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the capacity of Brazil Russia India China and South Africa (BRICS countries) to reshape global climate governance and explore areas for mutual cooperation. BRICS countries account for nearly 40% of the total world population and are thus intrinsic to the global efforts and results for Agenda 2030 the Sustainable Development Goals the Paris Agreement and beyond. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic does not at first appear to be directly related to BRICS’ policies to address climate change but it has influenced the pace and nature of climate action due to the loss of human and financial capital. This book examines this correlation and raises awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts and potential solutions on BRICS’ climate strategies. Drawing on case studies from each country the authors use examples from urban governance energy transition strategy foreign investment and more to illustrate how COVID-19 has negatively or positively impacted climate data and draw wider conclusions about the long-term climate policies that may be implemented. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change environmental politics and governance and global development studies. | COVID-19 and Climate Change in BRICS Nations Beyond the Paris Agreement and Agenda 2030

The French Economy Theory And Policy

The French Economy Theory And Policy

This volume brings together the proceedings of a conference held at the Institut Europeen d' Administration des Affaires (INSEAD) at Fontainebleau on July 5 6 and 7 1982. Summer conferences abound in the Paris region. That it was possible to attract an imposing international cast of economists within walking distance of the historic castle of Fontainebleau and one hour away from central Paris by car during the month of July is nothing especially surprising. But in this case there was a particular motivation for choosing the French site. | The French Economy Theory And Policy

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

In Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels Bernard J. Paris offers an analysis of the protagonists in four of Jane Austen's most popular novels. His analysis reveals them to be brilliant mimetic creations who often break free of the formal and thematic limitations placed upon them by Austen. Paris traces the powerful tensions between form theme and mimesis in Mansfield Park Emma Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Paris uses Northrop Frye's theory of comic forms to analyze and describe the formal structure of the novels and Karen Horney's psychological theories to explore the personalities and inner conflicts of the main characters. The concluding chapter turns from the characters to their creator employing the Horneyan categories of self-effacing detached and expansive personality types to interpret Jane Austen's own personality. Readers of Jane Austen will find much that is new and challenging in this study. It is one of the few books to recognize and pay tribute to Jane Austen's genius in characterization. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new understanding of Austen's heroines as imagined human beings and also with a deeper feeling for the troubled humanity of the author herself. | Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

This book addresses practices of bordering debordering and rebordering on the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after state borders had been remapped on the negotiation tables of the Paris Peace Treaties following the First World War. As life in borderlands did not correspond to the peaceful Europe articulated in the Paris Treaties a multitude of (un)foreseen complications followed the drawing of borders and states. The chapters in this book include new case studies on the creation centralization or peripheralization of border regions such as Subcarpathian Rus Vojvodina Banat and the Carpathian Mountains; on border zones such as the Czechoslovakian harbour in Germany; and on cross-border activities. The book shows how disputes over national identities and ethnic minorities as well as other factors such as the economic consequences of the new state borders appeared on the interwar political agenda and coloured the lives of borderland inhabitants. The contributions demonstrate the practices of borderland inhabitants in the establishment functioning disorganization or ultimate breakdown of some of the newly created interwar nation-states. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal European Review of History. | Debordering and Rebordering Central and South Eastern Europe after the First World War

The Hidden Cinema British Film Censorship in Action 1913-1972

The Hidden Cinema British Film Censorship in Action 1913-1972

How does film censorship work in Britain? Jim Robertson's new paperback edition of The Hidden Cinema argues that censorship has had a far greater influence on British film history than is often apparent creating the `hidden cinema' of the title. Robertson charts the role of the British Board of Film Censors established in 1913 and the histories of a variety of noteworthy films including Battleship Potemkin and No Orchids for Miss Blandish and revealing how censorship continues to exert a marked influence on many important films - like the controversial A Clockwork Orange - some of which have now vanished from British screens altogether. This edition includes a brand new section on Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris immediately engulfed in censorship wrangles on its release in 1972. | The Hidden Cinema British Film Censorship in Action 1913-1972

Fire in the Minds of Men Origins of the Revolutionary Faith

Fire in the Minds of Men Origins of the Revolutionary Faith

This book traces the origins of a faith-perhaps the faith of the century. Modern revolutionaries are believers no less committed and intense than were Christians or Muslims of an earlier era. What is new is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from forcible overthrow of traditional authority. This inherently implausible idea energized Europe in the nineteenth century and became the most pronounced ideological export of the West to the rest of the world in the twentieth century. Billington is interested in revolutionaries-the innovative creators of a new tradition. His historical frame extends from the waning of the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century to the beginnings of the Russian Revolution in the early twentieth century. The theater was Europe of the industrial era; the main stage was the journalistic offices within great cities such as Paris Berlin London and St. Petersburg. Billington claims with considerable evidence that revolutionary ideologies were shaped as much by the occultism and proto-romanticism of Germany as the critical rationalism of the French Enlightenment. The conversion of social theory to political practice was essentially the work of three Russian revolutions: in 1905 March 1917 and November 1917. Events in the outer rim of the European world brought discussions about revolution out of the school rooms and press rooms of Paris and Berlin into the halls of power. Despite his hard realism about the adverse practical consequences of revolutionary dogma Billington appreciates the identity of its best sponsors people who preached social justice transcending traditional national ethnic and gender boundaries. When this book originally appeared The New Republic hailed it as remarkable learned and lively while The New Yorker noted that Billington pays great attention to the lives and emotions of individuals and this makes his book absorbing. It is an invaluable work of history and contribution to our understanding of political life. | Fire in the Minds of Men Origins of the Revolutionary Faith

Genre Beyond Borders Reassessing Operetta

Genre Beyond Borders Reassessing Operetta

This book offers an innovative approach to understanding operetta drawing attention to its malleability and resistance to boundaries. These shows have traversed (and continue to traverse) with ease the national borders which might superficially define them or draw on features from many other genres without fundamentally changing in tone or approach. The chapters move from nineteenth-century London and Paris to twentieth-century North America South America and Europe to present-day Australia. Some offer fresh understandings of familiar composers such as Johann Strauss or Gilbert and Sullivan while others examine works or composers that are less well-known. The chapter on Socialist operetta in Czechoslovakia in particular will almost certainly be a revelation to anyone from Western Europe or the US where operetta is often understood to be a bourgeois phenomenon. As a summary of the current state of the field this collection showcases the many possible pathways for future scholars who wish to explore it. | Genre Beyond Borders Reassessing Operetta

Wilhelm von Bode and the American Art Market The Rudolphe Kann Collection

Wilhelm von Bode and the American Art Market The Rudolphe Kann Collection

Based on an extensive and very meticulous study of different archives and the evaluation of original previously unpublished archival material this book highlights the key aspects and trends of the European and American art markets in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular the book focuses on how these markets influenced each other from the viewpoint of one of the most prominent museum directors of this period Wilhelm von Bode (1845–1929). Given the complexity of the topic the book is structured into two parts. The first part focuses on Bode’s interactions with the German banker and dedicated art collector based in Paris Rudolphe Kann (1845–1905). The second part follows the sale of the Kann Collection to the dealer Joseph Duveen and follows on the relationship between Bode Duveen and the American collectors. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history museum studies and the art market. | Wilhelm von Bode and the American Art Market The Rudolphe Kann Collection

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

On 23rd July 1908 Sigmund Freud wrote to his colleague Karl Abraham: Rest assured that if my name were Oberhuber an obviously non-Jewish name in spite of everything my innovations would have met with far less resistance. From its beginning psychoanalysis has been seen as a Jewish affair and psychoanalysts have always been afraid of ending up in the position of the Jew - that of the outsider. In A Dangerous Legacy: Judaism and Psychoanalysis Hans Reijzer examines how psychoanalysts have managed that fear in the recent past and in the present. During his research which led him to Vienna Paris Amsterdam London Jerusalem Hamburg and Durban Reijzer encountered malicious as well as enlightening statements situations and incidents. A Dangerous Legacy is a striking study of an interesting area of research. Reijzer's conclusion is surprising: stereotypes about Jews are a factor not only in the everyday world but also in the psychoanalytic world as soon as Jews take part in it. | A Dangerous Legacy Judaism and the Psychoanalytic Movement

Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe (1987) examines the movement of workers from less prosperous parts of Europe to areas with demand for their services. The author identifies seven major systems of migrant labour: the North Sea System (mainly Westphalian workers heading for the German and Dutch North Sea Coast and Walloon/French workers bound for the Belgian and Zeeland coasts); the area between London and the Humber; the Paris Basin; Provence Languedoc and Catalonia; Castile; Piedmont; and central Italy with Corsica. A detailed study of the first of these systems tracing its development and changes is brought into a synchronic relation with data for the other regions. The evidence shows major waves of immigration in the seventeenth century and a rapid diminution of migratory labour to the North Sea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century a time when new ‘pull areas’ were created by the expanding industrial complexes of Germany and labour began to come in from areas outside Europe. | Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Catholic and Protestant missionaries followed their own competing agendas rather than those of the colonial state. This volume unravels these agendas and challenges received wisdom on the histories of Rwanda and Burundi as well as the colonial relationship between state and mission. The archives of the White Fathers Catholic missionary order in Rome and Paris are read alongside primary sources produced by the British Protestant Church Missionary Society to analyse their impact between 1900 and 1972 in Rwanda and Burundi. The colonial state was weaker than often assumed and permeable by external radical influences. Denominational competition between Catholic and Protestant missionaries was a key motor of this radicalism. The colonial state in both kingdoms was a weak reactive agent rather than a structuring form of power. This volume shows that missionaries were more committed and influential actors but their inability to manage the mass demand for the education that they sought and delivered finally undermined the achievement of their aims. Missionaries and the Colonial State is a resource for historians of Christianity Belgian Africa specialists and scholars of colonialism. | Missionaries and the Colonial State Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi 1900-1972

Celebrity and New Media Gatekeeping Success

Celebrity and New Media Gatekeeping Success

This book looks back to the early days of new and social media to examine the potential threat that such technologies and platforms posed to the mainstream corporate media’s gatekeeping and its ability to exploit humiliate and even violate famous women. Drawing on her own experiences working as part of this gatekeeping system Stephanie Patrick argues that in order to combat this threat the mainstream media doubled down on gendered narratives of meritocracy that legitimized certain (male) celebrities over others. Using a range of case studies spanning old media sites and new including Disney Playboy and reality television this book demonstrates that sexual exploitation and violation could be considered constitutive of female celebrity rather than a side effect. Patrick’s case studies include some of America’s most (in)famous celebrities including Miley Cyrus Lindsay Lohan Anna Nicole Smith Paris Hilton and Donald Trump urging readers to question their assumptions about these figures and their public trajectories. This nuanced exploration of patriarchal capitalism and women’s ongoing sexual exploitation by the media will be an important reference for scholars and students of digital and new media journalism celebrity studies and gender studies. | Celebrity and New Media Gatekeeping Success

Environmental Issues and Social Inclusion in a Sustainable Era Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Humanities and Social Scie

Environmental Issues and Social Inclusion in a Sustainable Era Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Humanities and Social Scie

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Paris Climate Agreement are examples of initiatives where countries show recognition of their interconnected interests and goals. This is particularly evident in the case of global environmental issues because they require global decision-making. The emergence of global environmental issues such as climate change marine pollution and biodiversity loss has brought new challenges to governance and requires political support and innovation of global public policies. In addition many social problems arise because of the environmental crisis. Environmental Issues and Social Inclusion in a Sustainable Era discusses environmental and social inclusion in a socio-economic perspective. The contributions analyse the management of global environmental problems at local national and international levels with a special focus on multilevel governance innovative public policies and economic development finance and business.

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

John Maynard Keynes then a rising young economist participated in the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 as chief representative of the British Treasury and advisor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He resigned after desperately trying and failing to reduce the huge demands for reparations being made on Germany. The Economic Consequences of the Peace is Keynes' brilliant and prophetic analysis of the effects that the peace treaty would have both on Germany and even more fatefully the world. A popular lecturer of economics at Cambridge University and editor of the Economic Journal Keynes made The Economic Consequences of the Peace a major step in his career. It was translated into a dozen languages and sold 100 000 copies in six months. Taken seriously even by those who were opposed to his claims the book helped lift economics to a new higher level of recognition and acceptance. This volume with its insightful portraits of Lloyd George Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson remains one of the great works of political economy of our time. In a penetrating introduction written for this new edition David Felix explores Keynes' reasons for writing the book analyzes the author's arguments and paints an historical backdrop of the period during which it was written.
