12 International Politics New New Posthuman International Relations Complexity, Ecologism and Global Politics Erika Cudworth and Stephen Hobden In this bold intervention, Cudworth and Hobden draw on recent advances in complexity theory to call for a profound re-envisioning of the study of international relations. As a discipline, IR is wedded to the Enlightenment project of overcoming the hazards of nature, and thus remains constrained by a blinkered, human-centred approach. As a means of predicting global political events and trends, it has failed consistently. It is therefore essential, the authors argue, that we develop a more sophisticated analysis of global politics, taking into account the broader environment, social relations, economic practices and formations of power. The book reveals how the study of international politics is transformed by the understanding that we have never been exclusively human. An original work that is sure to provoke heated debate within the discipline, Posthuman International Relations provides a radical new agenda for a progressive, twenty-first century international relations.

Yet conflicting assumptions about the nature of the group and the implications of bin Ladin’s death abound. Rather than just providing yet another biography of al-Qaeda, Christina Hellmich forensically examines the most authoritative sources on which the present understanding of al-Qaeda relies, examining the discrepancies between what is reported and what can realistically be known. The result is a penetrating insight into an organization that for all its notoriety is one of the least understood of our time.

Since its foundation, the FPDA has functioned as an important confidence building measure between its two Southeast Asian members, and has facilitated interoperability, professionalization and cooperation among the armed forced of the five countries. Crucially, its inherent flexibility and adaptability has enabled it to respond effectively to changes in the geopolitical environment as well as the emergence of new security threats. Now in its fortieth year, the FPDA remains a valuable component of Asia’s security architecture in a time of change and uncertainty. This volume marks the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the FPDA. Publisher: ISEAS & SRSIS 2011: 129 pp ISBN: 9789814345446: RM90.00 / S$35.90 New Jewish Identity & Palestinian Rights Diaspora Jewish Opposition to Israel David Landy Diaspora Jews are increasingly likely to criticise Israel and support Palestinian rights. In the USA, Europe and elsewhere, Jewish organisations have sprung up to oppose Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, facing harsh criticism from fellow Jews for their actions. Why and how has this movement come about? What does it mean for Palestinians and for diaspora Jews? Jewish Identity and Palestinian Rights is a groundbreaking study of this vital and growing worldwide social movement, examining in depth how it challenges traditional diasporic Jewish representations of itself. It looks at why people join this movement and how they relate to the Palestinians and their struggle, asking searching questions about transnational solidarity movements. This book makes an important contribution to Israel/Palestine and Jewish studies and responds to urgent questions in social movement theory.

New New Islamophobia The Ideological Campaign against Muslims Stephen Sheehi Islamophobia: The Ideological Campaign against Muslims examines the rise of anti- Muslim and anti-Arab sentiments in the West following the end of the Cold War through George W. Bush’s War on Terror to the Age of Obama. Using “Operation Desert Storm” as a watershed moment, Stephen Sheehi examines the increased mainstreaming of Muslim-baiting rhetoric and explicitly racist legislation, police surveillance, witchtrials and discriminatory policies towards Muslims in North America and abroad. Publisher: Clarity Press 2011: 291 pp ISBN: 9780932863676: RM70.00 / S$30.45 New The Palestinian Right of Return under International Law Francis A. Boyle The just resolution of the Palestinian right of return is at the very heart of the Middle East peace process. Nonetheless, the Obama administration intends to impose a comprehensive peace settlement upon the Palestinians that will force them to give up their well-recognized right of return under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 (III) of 1948; accept a Bantustan of disjointed and surrounded chunks of territory on the West Bank in Gaza; and even expressly recognize Israel as “the Jewish State”, as newly demanded by Benjamin Netanyahu. All this will fail for the reasons so powerfully and eloquently stated in this book. For the past three decades, Francis A. Boyle has provided the leadership of the Palestinian people with advice, counsel, and representation at all stages of the Middle East Peace Process. Here, he elaborates what the Palestinians must now do to realize their international legal right of return, in keeping with his startling perception of Israel as itself nothing more than a US-dependent Jewish Bantustan bound for failure. While an enormous amount of scholarly literature has been generated affirming the Palestinian right of return under international law, none is as authentic, powerful, personal, or convincing. Boyle has gone to the heart of the solution.

It addresses both the monstrous misallocation of global resources wrought by the so-called "Washington Consensus" and the suffering and destruction this has wreaked on third world peoples and economies. Questioning potential pitfalls in the neoliberal policy package - which the third world (unlike Western Europe and Japan) was largely forced to adopt - has never been countenanced, whether by international institutions or by mainstream crisis discourse. These specially commissioned and peer reviewed chapters on key states such as Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Mexico, Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam), South Africa, South Korea, Syria, Thailand and Venezuela shed light on both the failures of global neoliberalism and on the strategies some third world countries have developed to manage or resist it. Publisher: Clarity Press 2010: 276 pp ISBN: 9780932863614: RM75.00 / S$32.60 New Politicized Society The Long Shadow of Taiwan’s One-Party Legacy Mikael Mattlin This book explores a relatively uncharted area of democratic transitions: the empirical study of intensely politicized transitional societies. In particular, it addresses the problems of prolonged democratic transitions that occur when a one-party state has been incompletely dismantled. Taiwan’s gradual process of democratization has been celebrated as one of the most successful cases of political transformation. However, the process was not completed after political liberalization, the advent of multi-party politics and peaceful handover of power. Since 2000, when the first non-Kuomintang president was elected, Taiwan has been marked by protracted political struggles together with an intense politicization of society.
