The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

The term tandem was used to describe the Putin-Medvedev combination which ruled Russia from 2008 to 2012 when Medvedev was president and Putin prime minister. Many people saw Putin as the real wielder of power with Medvedev as his puppet. Others however saw Medvedev as a visionary someone who envisioned large scale schemes - even though these schemes have not yet come to fruition. At the same time many in the West regarded Medvedev favourably and gave him credit for raising expectations among both the elite and the middle classes in Russia in such a way as to make it difficult for the Russian state to return to its old ways. This book presents a comprehensive survey of the Medvedev presidency covering all areas including politics the economy international relations and social developments. The author concludes that it is still too early to assess Medvedev's achievements definitively. | The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

Cultural Perceptions of Violence in the Hellenistic World

Cultural Perceptions of Violence in the Hellenistic World

Violence had long been central to the experience of Hellenistic Greek cities and to their civic discourses. This volume asks how these discourses were shaped and how they functioned within the particular cultural constructs of the Hellenistic world. It was a period in which warfare became more professionalised and wars increasingly ubiquitous. The period also saw major changes in political structures that led to political and cultural experimentation and transformation in which the political and cultural heritage of the classical city-state encountered the new political principles and cosmopolitan cultures of Hellenism. Finally and in a similar way it saw expanded opportunities for cultural transfer in cities through (re)constructions of urban space. Violence thus entered the city through external military and political shocks as well as within emerging social hierarchies and civic institutions. Such factors also inflected economic activity religious practices and rituals and the artistic literary and philosophical life of the polis. | Cultural Perceptions of Violence in the Hellenistic World

Industrialization in Developing and Peripheral Regions

Industrialization in Developing and Peripheral Regions

The ten years before this book was originally published in 1986 saw major restructuring in the economies of the developed world. This was often closely related to industrial development in newly industrializing and third world countries. This book examines the performance of these developing countries and includes studies of 'peripheral regions' – less developed regions within more advanced economies. The overall findings are that whilst some areas and countries have success stories to tell (such as Korea) many so-called newly industrializing countries and regions have had serious problems. | Industrialization in Developing and Peripheral Regions

Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity

Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity

Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity provides a history of the boy band from the Beatles to One Direction placing the modern male pop group within the wider context of twentieth- and twenty-first-century popular music and culture. Offering the first extended look at pop masculinity as exhibited by boy bands this volume links the evolving expressions of gender and sexuality in the boy band to wider economic and social changes that have resulted in new ways of representing what it is to be a man. The popularity of boy bands is unquestionable and their contributions to popular music are significant yet they have attracted relatively little study. This book fills that gap with chapters exploring the challenges of defining the boy band phenomenon its origins and history from the 1940s to the present the role of management and marketing the performance of gender and sexuality and the nature of fandom and fan agency. Throughout the author illuminates the ways in which identity politics influence the production and consumption of pop music and shows how the mainstream pop of boy bands can both reinforce and subvert gender and class hierarchies.

Stalin's British Victims

Stalin's British Victims

First published in 2004 this book tells the stories of four remarkable British women whose lives were scorched by Stalin’s purges. One was shot as a spy; one nearly died as a slave labourer in Kazakhstan; and two saw their husbands taken away to the gulag and had to spirit their small children out of the country. We think of the horrors of the middle of the twentieth century- the Holocaust in Central Europe the purges in the Soviet Union- as something foreign: terrible but remote. Rosal Rust Rose Cohen Freda Utley and Pearl Rimel were all Londoners. Like hundreds of young idealistic Britons in the 1930s they looked to the Soviet Union for inspiration for a way in which society could be run better without the exploitation and poverty which unrestrained capitalism had created. They were less fortunate than most of us: they saw their dreams fulfilled. In this book Francis Beckett draws on personal letters interviews with surviving relatives and archivists to create a picture of four courageous intelligent and very different women. The result is a harrowing human document with vivid and unforgettable insights into the world of Stalin’s Russia: its secret trials labour camps random disappearances and concealed executions. | Stalin's British Victims

Political Parties in Britain 1783-1867

Political Parties in Britain 1783-1867

The theme of Professor Evan's book is the growth of a recognizable modern party system from the much looser and often family-based attachments of the eighteenth century. He examines the significance of the terms 'Whig' and 'Tory' in the later eighteenth century and the growth of a party aligment between 1788 and 1812 - a period in which war was a major factor in polarization. He discusses the years of Tory hegemony under Liverpool and the decline of the independent member and then takes as his main themes the transition from Whigs to Liberals and from Tories to Conservatives in the period of 1830-46 which saw so much concern both with political reform and with social questions. He also examines the substantial growth of political organizations. Professor Evans goes on to deal with the paradox that though the Tory party was shattered by the corn law crisis the subsequent period to 1867 saw an increasing importance being attached to party allegiance. He also discusses the waning power of the Crown the growing importance of general elections and various areas of divergence between parties. Although the emphasis of this book is necessarily thematic a firm sense of chronology is always maintained. | Political Parties in Britain 1783-1867

Social Change Theories in Motion Explaining the Past Understanding the Present Envisioning the Future

Social Change Theories in Motion Explaining the Past Understanding the Present Envisioning the Future

This book assesses how theorists explained processes of change set in motion by the rise of capitalism. It situates them in the milieu in which they wrote. They were never neutral observers standing outside the conditions they were trying to explain. Their arguments were responses to those circumstances and to the views of others commentators living and dead. Some repeated earlier views; others built on those perspectives; a few changed the way we think. While surveying earlier writers the author’s primary concerns are theorists who sought to explain industrialization imperialism and the consolidation of nation-states after 1840. Marx Durkheim and Weber still shape our understandings of the past present and future. Patterson focuses on explanations of the unsettled conditions that crystallized in the 1910s and still persist: the rise of socialist states anti-colonial movements prolonged economic crises and almost continuous war. After 1945 theorists in capitalist countries influenced by Cold War politics saw social change in terms of economic growth progress and modernization; their contemporaries elsewhere wrote about underdevelopment dependency or uneven development. In the 1980s theorists of postmodernity neoliberalism globalization innovations in communications technologies and post-socialism argued that they rendered earlier accounts insufficient. Others saw them as manifestations of a new imperialism capitalist accumulation on a global scale environmental crises and nationalist populism. | Social Change Theories in Motion Explaining the Past Understanding the Present Envisioning the Future

The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

The 1920s and 1930s saw the rise of the city symphony an experimental film form that presented the city as protagonist instead of mere decor. Combining experimental documentary and narrative practices these films were marked by a high level of abstraction reminiscent of high-modernist experiments in painting and photography. Moreover interwar city symphonies presented a highly fragmented oftentimes kaleidoscopic sense of modern life and they organized their urban-industrial images through rhythmic and associative montage that evoke musical structures. In this comprehensive volume contributors consider the full 80 film corpus from Manhatta and Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt to lesser-known cinematic explorations. | The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

Modern Policing

Modern Policing

Originally published in 1981 Modern Policing provided an opportunity for members of the Police Staff College Bramshill to air their views about different aspects of modern British policing. Contributions were made by members of the directing staff – professional and academic – and by students. This book was addressed primarily to policemen themselves but also had wider appeal to those interested in policing. The editors saw within police constabularies a rapidly developing concern for management information by senior police personnel for material to better prepare officers for their difficult task by training departments for relevant analyses to help improve qualifications by policemen themselves. This was one of the first books to include views from inside the police rather than those from the outside the service.
