DescriptionHow are University instructors to contribute to a growing field when most Ph.D.s continue to be conferred in British or American literature? To provide a foundational resource for teaching Anglo-American transatlanticism in the long 19th century, this volume by leading scholars and experienced professors from Canada, the UK, and the US outlines conceptual approaches to transatlanticism and offers practical resources ranging from individual assignment descriptions to full syllabi. Complemented by a website, the collection provides practical resources for teaching grounded in current scholarship. Addressing both current and future university teachers, and recognising the varying degrees to which today’s curricular formations enable/allow for transatlantic teaching, the individual chapters and the associated project website range from treating full-scale courses to reconsidering individual texts and authors in transatlantic context. An afterword by graduate students currently working in transatlanticism demonstrates the impact and opportunities of this burgeoning field.

A Feminine EnlightenmentBritish Women Writers and the Philosophy of Progress, 1759–1820

JoEllen DeLucia

The AuthorJoEllen DeLucia is Assistant Professor of English at Central Michigan University.

February 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 9594 2 • £70.00 BIC: DSA, DSB, DSK

DescriptionDrawing on original archival research, A Feminine Enlightenment argues that women writers shaped Enlightenment conversations regarding the role of emotion and gender in the civilizing process. From the letters and poetry exchanged between first- and second-generation Bluestockings and Scottish literati in the mid-18th century to the gothic and historical novels of the early Romantic era, the study tracks women writers’ contributions to theorizing the civilizing process. It demonstrates that the conversations in the Bluestocking salons of the 1760s and 1770s restaged and often anticipated the theories of sociability and sentiment developed by Scottish literati such as Adam Smith and James Millar. Likewise, Catherine Talbot’s and Anna Seward’s Bluestocking poetry, which was inspired by James Macpherson’s Ossian poems, tested alternative relationships between historical progress and the cultivation of emotion. It also shows that Scottish theories of progress exerted a shaping influence on Ann Radcliffe’s gothic novels and Maria Edgeworth’s historical fiction. Their novelistic explorations were informed, suggests the author, by their own readings of the comparative studies of progress that they found in Scottish poetry and historiography.

Obligation in ExileThe Jewish Diaspora, Israel and Critique

Ilan Zvi Baron

The AuthorIlan Zvi Baron is Lecturer in the School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University.

February 2015Hb • 978 0 7486 9230 9 • £75.00 BIC: JFFN, JFSR1, JPA, JPFN

DescriptionCombining political theory and sociological interviews spanning four countries, Ilan Zvi Baron explores the Jewish Diaspora/Israel relationship and suggests that instead of looking at Diaspora Jews’ relationship with Israel as a matter of loyalty, it is one of obligation.

Baron develops an outline for a theory of transnational political obligation and, in the process, provides an alternative way to understand and explore the Diaspora/Israel relationship than one mired in partisan debates about whether or not being a good Jew means supporting Israel. He concludes by arguing that critique of Israel is not just about Israeli policy, but about what it means to be a Diaspora Jew.

DescriptionBhikhu Parekh’s contribution to the political theory of multiculturalism is widely regarded as amongst the most original and significant. In this book, some of the leading theorists of multiculturalism revisit aspects of Parekh’s work both to underline its continuing importance and the vitality of multiculturalist theory. While some contributors locate Parekh in the tradition of British pluralism or as inspired by Gandhi, others apply his theory to a range of controversial contemporary multicultural dilemmas and other theorists extend it in new directions. Multiculturalism Rethought is essential reading for students and scholars of multiculturalism as well as those who think that multiculturalism no longer has anything to offer.

DescriptionWho are the Assyrians and what role did they play in shaping modern Iraq? Were they simply bystanders, victims of collateral damage who played a passive role in the history of Iraq? And how have they negotiated their position throughout various periods of Iraq's state-building processes?

This book details the narrative and history of Iraq in the 20th century and reinserts the Assyrian experience as an integral part of Iraq's broader contemporary historiography. It is the first comprehensive account to contextualize this native people's experience alongside the developmental processes of the modern Iraqi state. Using primary and secondary data, this book offers a nuanced exploration of the dynamics that have affected and determined the trajectory of the Assyrians' experience in 20th century Iraq.

DescriptionIndonesia has probably the fastest changing legal system in the Muslim world. This ethnographic account of legal pluralism in the post-conflict and disaster situation in Aceh addresses changes in both the national legal system and the regional legal structure in the province. Focusing on the encounter between diverse patterns of legal reasoning advocated by multiple actors and by different institutions (local, national and international; official and unofficial; judicial, political and social cultural) it considers the vast array of issues arising in the wake of the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami in Aceh.

It investigates disputes about rights to land and other forms of property, power relations, the conflict of rules, gender relationships, the right to make decisions, and prevailing norms. These disputes are presented on multiple levels and in various forums, either through negotiation or adjudication, regardless of whether they are settled or not. The cases involve various actors from villages, the courts, the provincial government and the legislature, the national Supreme Court and the central government of Indonesia.

Deconstructing Energy Law and PolicyThe Case of Nuclear Energy

Raphael Heffron

The AuthorRaphael Heffron is a qualified lawyer and Lecturer in Law at the University of Leeds and Associate Researcher at the Energy Policy Research Group, University of Cambridge.

Textbook

DescriptionNuclear power has been a consideration and part of energy policies of many countries across the world since its emergence as an electricity provider after the Second World War. Nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source and therefore can contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. However, it is also faced with issues of high cost, risk and waste disposal.

Drawing on over 90 interviews completed across Belgium (Brussels), Romania, the United States, and the United Kingdom, this book focusses on the development and formulation of energy law and policy in civil nuclear energy in the EU, the US and beyond. Heffron deconstructs the constituent parts of effective energy law and policy within the complex and often controversial energy industry. Pulling out what has and what has not worked, he suggests ways to improve the delivery of the central aims of law and policy.

What are the component parts of successful energy law and policy for nuclear energy in the 21st century?

Edinburgh Studies in Global Ethics Series Editor: Nigel Dower, University of Aberdeen and Heather Widdows, University of Birmingham

Edinburgh Studies in Global Ethics is a series of books on ethical issues concerning international relations between states and institutions and global relations between individuals. Such relations are reflected in issues including development and world poverty, the environment, and war, peace and security. Authors defend some form of ‘cosmopolitan view’: that the world as a whole is one moral domain in which individuals, corporate bodies and governments have responsibilities towards others in other parts of the world.
