Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Islands are intrinsic parts of the Indian Ocean Region’s physical geography and human landscape. Historically many have played substantial roles in the regional cultural and economic networks as well as in the regional political developments. Today at least three issues bring these islands back to the forefront of the regional and global affairs namely geopolitics and strategic matters environmental conditions and challenges as well as ocean affairs. However there has not been yet a lot of research and publications on this phenomenon of islands’ growing significance in the specific context of the Indian Ocean Region. This book provides a rare attempt to cover various issues related to geopolitics international relations history security anthropology and ocean/environment of Indian Ocean islands and their societies. More specifically it provides case studies on Sri Lanka (foreign policy) Cocos and Christmas Islands (geo-strategy) Chagos Archipelago (history) Mauritius (‘Indo-Mauritians’) Mauritius and Seychelles (maritime security) European Union and the Indian Ocean Islands (international relations) and Sundarban islands (environment and society). The chapters were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region. | Indian Ocean Islands Illustrated Cases on Geopolitics Ocean and Environment

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Pan-regional constructions in the Indian Ocean are of relatively recent origin are contested and remain relatively weak at present. Sub-regional constructions on the other hand have tended to be more focussed especially in terms of security and have generally been more successful. The principal purpose of this volume is to critically evaluate the debates surrounding these issues and to elucidate some of the main strengths and weaknesses of regionalism at both scales. The discussion begins at the pan-regional scale with an evaluation of pan-regional contestation followed up by a chapter on the main pan-regional grouping – Indian Ocean Region-Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) – which was renamed Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) in 2013. Thereafter key examples of sub-regional groupings – South Asia ASEAN SADC and GCC – are critically discussed in turn. The principal readership for this volume will be: scholars of geography politics and international relations; students of Indian Ocean studies; regionalism experts; bureaucrats and politicians both within and outside the Indian Ocean Region who wish to gain insights into Indian Ocean matters; scholars who appreciate a view of regional relations ‘from the inside’. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region. | Indian Ocean Regionalism

Xi Jinping’s ‘Chinese Dream’ China’s Renewed Foreign and Security Policy

Xi Jinping’s ‘Chinese Dream’ China’s Renewed Foreign and Security Policy

Singh analyses the influence of Xi’s 'Chinese Dream' on China’s foreign relations and security postures. Xi Jinping’s rise has led to a paradigm shift in many aspects of China’s domestic and international politics. A key element of this has been the ideological vision shorthanded as the 'Chinese Dream' combining elements of nationalism Confucian ideology and economic expansionism. Singh evaluates the various changes in China’s nominally communist ideology in the post-Mao era with an emphasis on the implications for China’s economic and security relations with other countries. He particularly focusses on China’s approach to South Asia and the Indian Ocean Region key elements of China’s strategy. An insightful guide to understanding the direction of China’s foreign and security policy and especially its impact on India–China relations. | Xi Jinping’s ‘Chinese Dream’ China’s Renewed Foreign and Security Policy

Reimagining Indian Ocean Worlds

Reimagining Indian Ocean Worlds

This book breaks new ground by bringing together multidisciplinary approaches to examine contemporary Indian Ocean worlds. It reconfigures the Indian Ocean as a space for conceptual and theoretical relationality based on social science and humanities scholarship thus moving away from an area-based and geographical approach to Indian Ocean studies. Contributors from a variety of disciplines focus on keywords such as relationality space/place quotidian practices and new networks of memory and maps to offer original insights to reimagine the Indian Ocean. While the volume as a whole considers older histories mobilities and relationships between places in Indian Ocean worlds it is centrally concerned with new connectivities and layered mappings forged in the lived experiences of individuals and communities today. The chapters are steeped in ethnographic multi-modal and other humanities methodologies that examine different sources besides historical archives and textual materials including everyday life cities museums performances the built environment media personal narratives food medical practices or scientific explorations. An important contribution to several fields this book will be of interest to academics of Indian Ocean studies Afro-Asian linkages inter-Asian exchanges Afro-Arab crossroads Asian studies African studies Anthropology History Geography and International Relations. | Reimagining Indian Ocean Worlds

Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

During the recent decades social political and academic endeavours have been made to improve environmental quality and reduce pollution. In particular the ocean sea and coastal areas show varying degrees of impact from the multiple human activities carried out in the terrestrial as well as in the aquatic environment. Ecology is a science which studies the relationship between organisms and the surrounding environment and in the modern era the marine world is getting increasing attention. For centuries it has been the final reservoir of human garbage; later it became an oil farm with a concomitant increase of coastal population growth and unplanned growth of the fishing industry and the increasing use of sea routes for cargo transport and recreational uses (cruises). All this led to rising contamination with negative effects on biota and even human health. It is then imperative to know the current situation of the world's oceans: that is the main purpose of this book to document at a glance the latest research in the field of ocean pollution. | Coastal and Deep Ocean Pollution

Environmental Citizenship in the Indian Ocean Region

Environmental Citizenship in the Indian Ocean Region

The scale and severity of our environmental challenges are quickly becoming apparent. The Indian Ocean region features many places particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental degradation and climate change which will have profound social economic and cultural impacts. The increasing preoccupation with the state of the environment is also having significant political effects including on the concept and content of citizenship. The language of citizenship has permeated environmental discourse and conversely environmental issues are often articulated in the language of citizenship. This book explores environmental citizenship and civil society responses to environmental challenges in the Indian Ocean region. The articles provide practical insights to improve resilience and adaptation as well as conceptual insights into the nature of environmental citizenship discourse and practice across this vast region from Mauritius to Malaysia. The volume showcases the complex field of environmental citizenship through a wide range of approaches and alongside closely related concepts such as environmental governance environmental education environmental justice and corporate social responsibility. In essence the book provides a rich diverse and multidimensional picture of environmental citizenship in the Indian Ocean region. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region.

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

Although the phrase the American Dream dates from the 1930s the concept or idea of the American Dream is as old as the country. The values proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed (and extended) in the Gettysburg Address have been continuously promoted by every American president. Moreover they form the basis of our national collective narrative as expressed through both elite and popular culture. The American Dream is intrinsically tied to the American Creed and American Exceptionalism. It is the foundation of our national identity the glue that holds together our individual aspirations. Yet until the mid-twentieth century the American Dream excluded African Americans. We as a nation—as an imagined community—could not imagine an integrated multiracial society with Blacks and Whites living together as equals. By examining the lives of the only three African American Nobel Peace Prize winners we can see how their lives were shaped by the American Dream and how their success was used to deny the structural racism that prevented others from achieving the American Dream. Ralph Bunche as a role model of academic and technical expertise Martin Luther King Jr. as a model race leader and Barack Obama as a political leader provide a window on the changing meaning of the American Dream. In conclusion Haiti is presented as a failed example of an attempt to export the American Dream in the form of American Exceptionalism and racial reparations are reimagined as a radical democratic project aimed at true global integration and justice. | Racial Imagination and the American Dream The Peace-Maker The Prophet and The Politician

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children's Literature both in the Harry Potter series and in other works that have reached unprecedented levels of popular success today. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Lewis Carroll's Alice and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan Billone goes on to examine the recent resurrection of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice and of Peter Pan in Michael Jackson and in James Bond. Visiting trends that have emerged since the Harry Potter series ended the book studies revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the twenty-first century: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight E. L. James's 50 Shades of Grey and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. The volume argues that the 21st-century desire to achieve dream-states in relationship to eternal youth results from the way that dreams provide a means of realizing the fantastic yet alarming possibility of escaping from time. This current identification with the dream-child stems from the threat of political unrest and economic and environmental collapse as well as from the simultaneous technophilia and technophobia of a culture immersed in the breathless revolution of the digital age. This book not only explores how the dream-child from the past has returned to reflect misgivings about imagined dystopian futures but also reveals how the rebirth of the dream-child opens up possibilities for new narratives where happy endings remain viable against all odds. It will appeal to scholars in a wide variety of fields including Childhood Studies Children's/YA Literature Cinema Studies Cultural Studies Cyberculture Gender Studies Queer Studies Gothic Studies New Media and Popular Culture. | The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method presents a new way of thinking about the humanities and the social sciences. It explores maritime connections in social and humanistic research and puts forward an alternative to national histories and area studies. As global warming and rising sea levels ring alarm bells across the world the chapters in the volume argue that it is time to think through oceans to realign discourses which better understand our future. The volume: • Engages with the paradigms of oceanic narratives to identify connections between continents through trade migration and economic processes thinking beyond the artificial distinctions between the Pacific Atlantic and Indian Oceans; • Discusses oceanic travel accounts by Muslim travellers to counter the idea that the colonial era was marked by European travel to Asia and Africa without a counterflow of “native travel”; •Examines the connections between South Africa South Asia and South East Asia through histories of Indian indenture and the slave trade and engages with the idea of the ocean and enforced movement; •Compares and connects recent scholarship in the social sciences and the humanities centring the ocean to break away from inherited paradigms which have shaped world history so far. As a unique transdisciplinary collaboration this volume will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of history especially oceanic history historiography critical theory literature geography and Global South studies. | Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The period from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Islam (c. late fourth century BCE to seventh century CE) saw a significant growth in economic diplomatic and cultural exchange between various civilisations in Africa Europe and Asia. This was in large part thanks to the Indian Ocean trade. Peoples living in the Roman Empire Parthia India and South East Asia increasingly had access to exotic foreign products while the lands from which they derived and the peoples inhabiting these lands also captured the imagination finding expression in a number of literary and poetic works. The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity provides a range of chapters that explore the economic political and cultural impact of this trade on these diverse societies written by international experts working in the fields of Classics Archaeology South Asian studies Near Eastern studies and Art History. The three major themes of the book are the development of this trade how consumption and exchange impacted on societal developments and how the Indian Ocean trade influenced the literary creations of Graeco-Roman and Indian authors. This volume will be of interest not only to academics and students of antiquity but also to scholars working on later periods of Indian Ocean history who will find this work a valuable resource. | The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity Political Cultural and Economic Impacts

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

This book examines knowledge traditions that held together the fluid and overlapping maritime worlds of the Indian Ocean in the premodern period as evident in the material and archaeological record. It breaks new ground by shifting the focus from studying cross-pollination of ideas from textual sources to identifying this exchange of ideas in archaeological and historical documentation. The themes covered in the book include conceptualization of the seas and maritime landscapes in Sanskrit Arabic and Chinese narratives; materiality of knowledge production as indicated in the archaeological record of communities where writing on stone first appears; and anchoring the coasts not only through an understanding of littoral shrines and ritual landscapes but also by an analysis of religious imagery on coins more so at the time of the introduction of new religions such as Islam in the Indian Ocean around the eighth century. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of archaeology anthropology museum and heritage studies Indian Ocean studies maritime studies South and Southeast Asian studies religious studies and cultural studies. | The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

This book argues for the utility of human rights in the practice of ocean governance. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) has become the dominant marine management paradigm with MSP frameworks already at various stages of elaboration and implementation in more than half of all coastal states. However as experience with MSP accrues a central systemic shortcoming has become apparent insofar as the normative frameworks that underpin MSP tend to be grounded in a rationalistic and economistic worldview. The result is a post-political neoliberal approach to the implementation of MSP which favours technocratic ‘fixes’ to complex societal problems over efforts to address underlying issues of power and inequality. Building upon the new field of critical MSP studies this book offers a much-neglected legal contribution. More specifically it analyses the extent to which law and particularly human rights law can be utilised to meaningfully challenge the unjust patterns of human-ocean interaction that MSP preserves or creates and so provide a vehicle for the formulation and realisation of transformative blue futures. The book looks to human rights as norms that are uniquely capable of bringing into relief the values cause-and-effect relationships and uncertainties that prevailing capitalist-industrial framings of the ocean tend to downplay or worse disregard. And so from a more pragmatic viewpoint the book argues that the policy and advocacy tools associated with human rights can be used within MSP processes to foster patterns of human-ocean interaction which are more conducive to social and environmental justice. This book will be of interest to legal and planning scholars geographers and others concerned with ocean governance and the ‘blue turn’ in the social sciences and humanities more generally. | Human Rights and Ocean Governance The Potential of Marine Spatial Planning in Europe

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would they need to live in the ocean? How would you keep them warm? What design features would allow them to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Do they need water to drink? How would they minimize the cost of swimming and how would they find their prey in the deep and dark? These questions and more are examined in detail throughout Marine Mammal Physiology which explores how marine mammals live in the sea from a physiological point of view. This undergraduate textbook considers the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals beyond just their environment. It focuses on the physiological and biochemical traits that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans. The content of this book is organised around common student questions taking the undergraduate's point of view as the starting point. Each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching and students to use as study guides. New Study Questions and Critical Thinking Points conclude each chapter which are each motivated by a Driving Question such as How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean? or How do mammals survive the crushing pressures of the deep sea? Full-colour images and comprehensive accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology. | Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean
