Understanding the Shifts in Migration Governance: Milestones, Challenges and Peculiarities

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration Series; Brazil; Costa Rica; humanitarianism; migration; migration governance; Polish migration; Sweden; Turkey and Germany

By exploring how these policies are shaped, implemented, and reformed under the influence of both internal dynamics and external pressures, the book reveals the fluid and dynamic nature of migration governance. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how migration policies are adapted across different countries and regions, shaped by unique sociopolitical contexts and evolving global trends.

War and Language – Russian Invasion of Ukraine in National Political Discourses

War and Language – Russian Invasion of Ukraine in National Political Discourses

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: war; Ukraine; Russia; political discourse

This book focuses on the war in Ukraine and how politicians commented on this issue in the first months after the invasion. The reactions of heads of state to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have varied, even in the democratic world. While an overwhelming rejectionist view was expressed in Western Europe, politicians in some Central and Eastern European have demonstrated a difficulty seeing the Kremlin as the culprit for the war.The main aims of the book are to examine how politicians in selected countries reacted to the war, to identify the main actors of the political discourse and how the political elites formed their positions, to analyze the content of the discourse and how the various supported or opposing positions on the war were formulated, and to examine the linguistic means and strategies employed by the political elite. The authors examined political discourse in Slovakia, Hungary, France, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and Austria, and compared and contrasted the features of political discourse in countries with a long democratic tradition with those in Central and Eastern European countries which were under non-democratic regimes before 1989. There seems to be a tendency to push political discourse to a different plane in countries with a communist experience, as we found solid, pro-Russian sentiments in Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic that can attenuate attitudes towards Russian aggression.

Narrating Nature: Zapatista Encounters and the Remaking of Human–Environmental Relations

Narrating Nature: Zapatista Encounters and the Remaking of Human–Environmental Relations

Author(s): Beatriz Lopes Cerqueira / Language(s): English

Keywords: Narrating nature; Zapatista encounters; human–environmental relations; environmental; climate; crisis; policy series;

In the light of increasing environmental degradation and the climate crisis, among others, and the intertwined augmented pressures on the global population’s well-being, human-Nature relationships have become a topical issue. These relationships are intrinsically politico-ecological, currently shaped by capitalist-modernity that functions based on extractivism. Therefore, it is imperative to shift towards more caring human-Nature relationships, which are being developed in and through political counter-movements. Taking the Zapatista movement as an example, this book explores other ways of thinking and acting towards Nature that allows for the development of non-exploitative human-Nature relationships. It follows the argument that the Zapatista fight is a politico-ecological one, in which the movement’s political aims and decisions are grounded in a Mayan-derived, indigenous worldview of Nature and in their influence in defining more caring human-Nature relationships; and that, therefore, their fight is also expressed through the ways they put these relationships in practice, particularly in their ways of doing agriculture (through agroecology, based on values such as care, respect, and democracy). In turn, these help to guarantee not only their resistance to the dominant extractivist system, but also their autonomy, the main aim of the civil part of the Zapatista movement.

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: International Relations; Policy Series; cyber insecurity; geopolitical risks; global risks; Hasret Comak; international relations

Today, the growing impact of climate change, armed conflicts, social polarization, and economic instability threatens the foundations of the global order. These challenges escalate rapidly, fuelled by technological advancements and economic uncertainties that we face on a global scale. Disinformation and misinformation stand out as critical global threats. The pressing issues of cybersecurity, geopolitical tensions, unequal opportunities, inflation, forced migration, economic downturns, and environmental degradation present urgent risks that demand immediate attention. The imbalances and inequalities in wealth and resource distribution at all levels breed instability locally, regionally, and globally, further amplifying the fragility and volatility of our global system. Beyond the immediate crises, our book delves into the potential repercussions of artificial intelligence and its implications for the geopolitical supply chain in Türkiye. It meticulously unveils how climate change and geopolitical dynamics could severely impact Türkiye’s security framework, economic landscape, and business sector. In this context, Türkiye must boldly declare its commitment to fostering collaboration among nations, businesses, and civil society to effectively address these global challenges. Türkiye’s pivotal role in this collective endeavour cannot be overstated, and the country should continue to lead initiatives aimed at collaboration and problem-solving. This book offers valuable insights from scholars, experts, and industry leaders, with the goal of elevating awareness and effectively managing emerging risks at every level. Together, we can navigate these turbulent times and create a more resilient global order.

English Literature Advancing Through History 5 – The Romantic Period

English Literature Advancing Through History 5 – The Romantic Period

Author(s): Petru Golban / Language(s): English

Keywords: Literature Series; Text books; English Literature; Literary heritage; literature; Petru Golban; The Romantic Period

It appears that literary work possesses eternal temporal validity due to its autonomous aesthetic value, whereas criticism provides points of view having temporary and transitory significance. Despite such claims, the vector of methodology in our series of books, dealing with the history of English literature, relies on Viktor Shklovsky, T. S. Eliot, Mikhail Bakhtin, and especially Yuri Tynyanov, whose main reasoning would be that literature is a system of dominant, central and peripheral, marginalized elements – to us, “tradition” (centre) versus “innovation” (margin) engaged in a “battle” for supremacy, demarginalization, and the right to form a new literary system – and the development or historical advancement of literature is the substitution of systems. Roman Jakobson and French structuralism, on the whole, later Linda Hutcheon, with her “system” and “constant”, and Bran Nicol with the “dominant”, to say nothing about Itamar Even-Zohar and his theory of polysystem, to a certain extent Julia Kristeva, and even Homi Bhabha – as well as our humble contribution, we would like to believe – maintain Tynyanov’s line of thinking and concepts alive, which have developed and emerged nowadays more like a kind of “neo-formalism”. Focusing on literary practice, applying critical theory and emerging from within our own teaching experience, the books in the present series are theoretical and surveyistic, like a monograph, whereas their more practical and text-oriented aspect should appeal as a student handbook for didactic purposes, in which certain literary works belonging to various writers of different trends, movements, and periods are analysed and compared with regard to their source, form, thematic arrangements, ideas, motifs, character representation strategies, intertextual perspectives, structural or narrative techniques, and other aspects.

Nietzsche, Gai Saber, and Modernity

Nietzsche, Gai Saber, and Modernity

Author(s): Yunus Tuncel / Language(s): English

Keywords: Gai saber; medieval France; Modernity; Nietzsche; Nietzsche Society; Occitan culture; troubadour minstrels;

“The revival of interest in Provençal poetry in the late nineteenth century was a major inspiration for modern literary thinking. In tracing Friedrich Nietzsche’s engagement with Provençal lyric, Yunus Tuncel elucidates many of the philosopher’s most affirmative and exhilarating gestures. Tuncel does not shy away from difficult questions, such as the seeming divergence between Nietzsche and the Provençal poets in terms of representing gender. Festooned with copious, illustrations and written in a creative and poetic manner, Nietzsche, Gai Saber, and Modernity sits at the borderline of philosophy and joy.”— Nicholas Birns, New York University“Tuncel explores the textual and topographical terrain of the troubadours and trobairitiz to show the spiritual affinity between their gai saber culture and Nietzsche’s advocation for a joyful wisdom, complicating the narrative divide between antiquity, medievalia, and the modern - enriching the study of the medieval poets and the modern philosopher while challenging us to live more fully.”— David Kilpatrick, Mercy University“Tuncel’s Nietzsche, Gai Saber, and Modernity traces an obscure, but fascinating genealogy of modernity from the Occitan culture and its “gai saber” in medieval France, to the troubadour minstrels it created, culminating in Nietzsche’s own joyful wisdom. It is an erudite and exciting read that brings a crucial microhistory back into the light.”— Luke Trusso, New York University
