Democracy, Dictatorship, and Default - Cameron Ballard Rosa - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Democracy, Dictatorship, and Default - Cameron Ballard Rosa - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that, in the coming years, more than fifty countries are at risk of default. Yet we understand little about the political determinants of this decision to renege on promises to international creditors. This book develops and tests a unified theory of how domestic politics explains sovereign default across dictatorships and democracies. Professor Ballard-Rosa argues that both democratic and autocratic governments will choose to default when it is necessary for political survival; however, regime type has a significant impact on what specific kinds of threats leaders face. While dictatorships are concerned with avoiding urban riots, democratic governments are concerned with losing elections, in particular the support of rural voting blocs. Using cross-national data and historical case studies, Ballard-Rosa shows that leaders under each regime type are more likely to default when doing so allows them to keep funding costly policies supporting critical bases of support.

Peirce on Habits - Simone Bernardi Della Rosa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Peirce on Habits - Simone Bernardi Della Rosa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Peirce on Habits: Developing a Pragmatist Ontology investigates habit at its most fundamental level: as a mode of being. Through the lens developed by Charles Sanders Peirce, the American philosopher renowned for his contributions to semiotics and pragmatism, Simone Bernardi della Rosa explores how habits profoundly impact human cognition and self-conception, shaping our thoughts and behaviors. The author first analyzes the philosophical architecture of habit and its fundamental metaphysical properties, defending the thesis that habits are a mediating category between possibility and actuality characterized by generality. In the second part, Bernardi della Rosa argues that if humans are “creatures of habit,” it is because they share the same ontological and temporal characteristics as habits. By delving into pragmatist theory and contemporary accounts of habits, Peirce on Habits illustrates how habits form a pivotal element of our reality, profoundly influencing future events as well as our reasoning and selfhood. This comprehensive study offers fresh insights into the role of habit in Peirce’s philosophy and pragmatism’s relevance to ongoing philosophical discussions about habit.

The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg Volume V - Rosa Luxemburg - Bog - Verso Books - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg Volume V - Rosa Luxemburg - Bog - Verso Books - Plusbog.dk

This volume is the first to contain all of Rosa Luxemburg’s eloquent writings on the 1917 Russian and 1918–19 German revolutions. Also contained here are articles, essays, and manuscripts on the European socialist movement prior to World War I and on her efforts to rebuild the socialist movement on revolutionary foundations in its aftermath. Much of this material appears in English for the first time.Luxemburg’s contributions on revolutionary strategy and the transition to socialism reveal a profound commitment to radical democracy, which becomes evident as she elaborates on her lived experience with razor-sharp conceptualizations of the mass strike. Her democratic commitment is also highlighted in her deepening conflict with the bureaucratic conservatism afflicting the German Social Democratic Party. She is horrified yet, at the same time, grimly analytical while surveying the unfolding violence and brutality of World War I. Deeply inspired by Russia’s 1917 upsurge, she is nonetheless compelled to analyze and criticize fatal limitations of the Russian Revolution. Swept up in the revolutionary chaos sweeping through Germany in 1918–19, which results in her own martyrdom, she gives voice on the eve of her assassination to the revolution’s final testament: "I was, I am, I shall be."

Rosa Mulholland (1841-1921) - James H Murphy - Bog - Edward Everett Root Publishers Co. Ltd. - Plusbog.dk

Rosa Mulholland (1841-1921) - James H Murphy - Bog - Edward Everett Root Publishers Co. Ltd. - Plusbog.dk

This new work sets six important texts (two full texts and four novel extracts) in the context of Rosa Mulholland''s writing career, and the cultural context of the time. Mullholland''s writing reflects a creative tension between issues of class, gender, religion, land politics, the presentation of the Irish peasantry, Irishness and Victorianism. Rosa Mulholland was an important figure in late nineteenth-century Irish fiction writing. She was the author of dozens of novels, short stories and critical pieces. She came from a Catholic, upper middle class family, married a prominent historian and through her sister was related to the Russell family. Their most prominent members were Matthew Russell JS, editor of the Irish Monthly, and Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England. The book is organised in such a way as to give a representative selection of Mulholland''s writings in terms of genre (short story, novel extract, essay), theme (famine; middle-class women''s aspirations; religion; feminism and the land war; women and ethical decision making; gender and economics; publishing and patriotism) and chronology (1864 to 1908). Interest in Mulholland has been greatly aided by the recovery in feminist literary criticism. She is now regarded as an important figure and this work provides an introductory access to her work to students and scholars.

Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race - Jonathan Rosa - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race - Jonathan Rosa - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race examines the emergence of linguistic and ethnoracial categories in the context of Latinidad. The book draws from more than twenty-four months of ethnographic and sociolinguistic fieldwork in a Chicago public school, whose student body is more than 90% Mexican and Puerto Rica, to analyze the racialization of language and its relationship to issues of power and national identity. It focuses specifically on youth socialization to U.S. Latinidad as a contemporary site of political anxiety, raciolinguistic transformation, and urban inequity. Jonathan Rosa''s account studies the fashioning of Latinidad in Chicago''s highly segregated Near Northwest Side; he links public discourse concerning the rising prominence of U.S. Latinidad to the institutional management and experience of raciolinguistic identities there. Anxieties surrounding Latinx identities push administrators to transform ''at risk'' Mexican and Puerto Rican students into ''young Latino professionals.'' This institutional effort, which requires students to learn to be and, importantly, sound like themselves in highly studied ways, reveals administrators'' attempts to navigate a precarious urban terrain in a city grappling with some of the nation''s highest youth homicide, dropout, and teen pregnancy rates. Though seemingly well-intentioned, the result for these youths is often an inauthentic, conflicted identity. Rosa explores the ingenuity of his research participants'' responses to these forms of marginalization through the contestation of political, ethnoracial, and linguistic borders.

The Accumulation of Capital - Rosa Luxemburg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Accumulation of Capital - Rosa Luxemburg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Rosa Luxemburg was a revolutionary socialist who fought and died for her beliefs. In January 1919, after being arrested for her involvement in a workers'' uprising in Berlin, she was brutally murdered by a group of right-wing soldiers. Her body was recovered days later from a canal. Six years earlier she had published what was undoubtedly her finest achievement, The Accumulation of Capital - a book which remains one of the masterpieces of socialist literature. Taking Marx as her starting point, she offers an independent and fiercely critical explanation of the economic and political consequences of capitalism in the context of the turbulent times in which she lived, reinterpreting events in the United States, Europe, China, Russia and the British Empire. Many today believe there is no alternative to global capitalism. This book is a timely and forceful statement of an opposing view.

Comfort Woman - Maria Rosa Henson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Comfort Woman - Maria Rosa Henson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

From Comfort Woman:“We began the day with breakfast, after which we swept and cleaned our rooms. Then we went to the bathroom downstairs to wash the only dress we had and to bathe. The bathroom did not even have a door, so the soldiers watched us. We were all naked, and they laughed at us, especially me and the other young girl who did not have any pubic hair. “At two, the soldiers came. My work began, and I lay down as one by one the soldiers raped me. Every day, anywhere from twelve to over twenty soldiers assaulted me. There were times when there were as many as thirty; they came to the garrison in truckloads.” “I lay on the bed with my knees up and my feet on the mat, as if I were giving birth. Whenever the soldiers did not feel satisfied, they vented their anger on me. Every day, there were incidents of violence and humiliation. When the soldiers raped me, I felt like a pig. Sometimes they tied up my right leg with a waist band or a belt and hung it on a nail in the wall as they violated me. “I shook all over. I felt my blood turn white. I heard that there was a group called the Task Force on Filipino Comfort Women looking for women like me. I could not forget the words that blared out of the radio that day: ''Don''t be ashamed, being a sex slave is not your fault. It is the responsibility of the Japanese Imperial Army. Stand up and fight for your rights.''” In April 1943, fifteen-year-old Maria Rosa Henson was taken by Japanese soldiers occupying the Philippines and forced into prostitution as a “comfort woman.” In this simply told yet powerfully moving autobiography, Rosa recalls her childhood as the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy landowner, her work for Huk guerrillas, her wartime ordeal, and her marriage to a rebel leader who left her to raise their children alone. Her triumph against all odds is embodied by her decision to go public with the secret she had held close for fifty years. Now in a second edition with a new introduction and foreword that bring the ongoing controversy over the comfort women to the present, this powerful memoir will be essential reading for all those concerned with violence against women.

From Realism to 'Realicism' - Rosa Maria Perez Teran Mayorga - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

From Realism to 'Realicism' - Rosa Maria Perez Teran Mayorga - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, was convinced that metaphysics is not just of primary importance to philosophy, but that it serves as the basis of all sciences. From Realism to ''Realicism'' is a unique critical study of Peirce''s metaphysics, and his repeated insistence on the realism of the medieval schoolman as the key to understanding his own system. By tracing the problem of universals beginning with its Greek roots, Rosa Maria Perez-Teran Mayorga provides the necessary yet underrepresented background of moderate realism and Peirce''s eventual revision of metaphysics. This book examines Peirce''s definition of the "real," his synechism, his idealism, and his "pragmaticism," which are all related to his sense of realism. With strong analyses and references to Plato, Aristotle, and John Duns Scotus, a Franciscan monk known as a major proponent of scholastic realism, From Realism to ''Realicism'' is an insightful and intriguing book that will stimulate the minds of fellow philosophers and those interested in Charles Sanders Peirce.

Pedagogy of Life - Rosa Hong Chen - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pedagogy of Life - Rosa Hong Chen - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Pedagogy of Life takes its readers through the echoing stories of the half-century, historical Cultural Revolution of China to the literate lifeworld today. Rosa Hong Chen offers a gripping array of personal and kindred stories woven into the power of words and empathy of art through the volutes of writing and dancing for life, expressing genera of warm melancholy, weighty sensations, compulsive sobs, and refrained elation. It is for the existential history of individual lives and communal sharing that life creates a pedagogical condition of possible experiences. Life itself forms a historical and social path of human growth and maturation. In a philosophical and educational autoethnographical inquiry, the author examines the nature of literacy for those marginalized and oppressed; Chen explores how one’s name and the ways in which that name is used affect a person’s self-knowing and knowing of the world. This book exemplifies the idea that individuals’ autobiographical stories are importantly connected to wider cultural, political, and social meaning and understanding. Pedagogy of Life echoes readers’ musings, affects, relations, imagination, choice, learning, teaching, and much more, because we, each and all, have our own names, ways of uttering, writing, and dancing, and, ultimately, our own ways of living, knowing, and becoming.

Gender, Religion and Domesticity in the Novels of Rosa Nouchette Carey - Elaine Hartnell - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Religion and Domesticity in the Novels of Rosa Nouchette Carey - Elaine Hartnell - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This title was first published in 2000. Rosa Nouchette Carey (1840-1909), the English author of forty-one ’domestic’ novels, was continuously in print from 1868 until at least 1924 and yet she is virtually unknown today. This first in-depth study of Carey’s work assesses both her immense popularity and her subsequent fall from favour. Organized thematically, it engages with the historical and cultural context of the novels as well as comparing them with the work of Carey’s contemporaries. Matters such as Carey’s creative response towards spinsterhood, her provision of vicarious male approval and her valorization of housework are perceived as functions of her writing that lie beyond formal literary criticism. This is not to deny the literary value of Carey’s work; rather it is to make intelligible its value to a large and enthusiastic readership despite an undoubted lack of appreciation on the part of reviewers.

Shards of Love - Maria Rosa Menocal - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shards of Love - Maria Rosa Menocal - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

With the Spanish conquest of Islamic Granada and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, the year 1492 marks the exile from Europe of crucial strands of medieval culture. It also becomes a symbolic marker for the expulsion of a diversity in language and grammar that was disturbing to the Renaissance sensibility of purity and stability. In rewriting Columbus's narrative of his voyage of that year, Renaissance historians rewrote history, as was often their practice, to purge it of an offending vulgarity. The cultural fragments left behind following this exile form the core of Shards of Love, as Maria Rosa Menocal confronts the difficulty of writing their history. It is in exile that Menocal locates the founding conditions for philology--as a discipline that loves origins--and for the genre of love songs that philology reveres. She crosses the boundaries, both temporal and geographical, of 1492 to recover the "original" medieval culture, with its Mediterranean mix of European, Arabic, and Hebrew poetics. The result is a form of literary history more lyrical than narrative and, Menocal persuasively demonstrates, more appropriate to the Middle Ages than to the revisionary legacy of the Renaissance. In discussions ranging from Eric Clapton's adaption of Nizami's Layla and Majnun, to the uncanny ties between Jim Morrison and Petrarch, Shards of Love deepens our sense of how the Middle Ages is tied to our own age as it expands the history and meaning of what we call Romance philology.

Cultural Heritage in Mali in the Neoliberal Era - Rosa De Jorio - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

Cultural Heritage in Mali in the Neoliberal Era - Rosa De Jorio - Bog - University of Illinois Press - Plusbog.dk

Up to 2012, Mali was a poster child of African democracy, despite multiple signs of growing dissatisfaction with the democratic experiment. Then disaster struck, bringing many of the nation's unresolved contradictions to international attention. A military coup carved off the country's south. A revolt by a coalition of Tuareg and extremist Islamist forces shook the north. The events, so violent and unexpected, forced experts to reassess Mali's democratic institutions and the neoliberal economic reforms enacted in conjunction with the move toward democracy. Rosa De Jorio's detailed study of cultural heritage and its transformations provides a key to understanding the impasse that confronts Malian democracy. As she shows, postcolonial Mali privileged its cultural heritage to display itself on the regional and international scene. The neoliberal reforms both intensified and altered this trend. Profiling heritage sites ranging from statues of colonial leaders to women's museums to historic Timbuktu, De Jorio portrays how various actors have deployed and contested notions of heritage. These actors include not just Malian administrators and politicians but UNESCO, and non-state NGOs. She also delves into the intricacies of heritage politics from the perspective of Malian actors and groups, as producers and receivers--but always highly informed and critically engaged--of international, national and local cultural initiatives.

The Pathology of Plenty - Dr Lys Kulamadayil - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Pathology of Plenty - Dr Lys Kulamadayil - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This open access book critically examines the role international law plays in post-colonial countries, which primarily rely on the exploitation of their natural resources for economic and human development. Since the 1990s, expressions such as the ‘resource curse’ and ‘paradox of plenty’ have been associated with unequal patterns of power and wealth distribution in post-colonial and neo-colonial countries. They have also been applied to the ecological and social costs of natural resources exploitation, and the planetary costs of mineral resources-based production and consumption patterns.Taking various resource-curse and paradox-of-plenty theories as a starting point, the book illustrates how the law''s role in resource-cursed countries is at once constitutive, preventive, remedial and punitive. It does so by engaging with various fields of public international law. The book revisits how rights and principles such as sovereignty over natural resources and economic self-determination were applied in decolonisation processes; studies the proliferation of international treaties protecting foreign property rights; and zooms in on various contract models used in the mineral resources sector to evaluate the distributional choices of cost and revenue. This will be important reading for scholars in the fields of international law and international development. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Triple Systems - Alex Rosa - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Triple Systems - Alex Rosa - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Triple systems are among the simplest combinatorial designs, and are a natural generalization of graphs. They have connections with geometry, algebra, group theory, finite fields, and cyclotomy; they have applications in coding theory, cryptography, computer science, and statistics. Triple systems provide in many cases the prototype for deep results in combinatorial design theory; this design theory is permeated by problems that were first understood in the context of triple systems and then generalized. Such a rich set of connections has made the study of triple systems an extensive, but sometimes disjointed, field of combinatorics. This book attempts to survey current knowledge on the subject, to gather together common themes, and to provide an accurate portrait of the huge variety of problems and results. Representative samples of the major syles of proof technique are included, as is a comprehensive bibliography.
