Das Buch thematisiert den aus der Besiedlungs-, vor allem der Cowboy-Ära hergeleiteten Westernmythos in den USA, der über Generationen hinweg von den populärsten Medien jeder Epoche wiederholt wird. Der bewaffneten Gesellschaft, die das 19. Jahrhundert den Vereinigten Staaten hinterlassen hat und deren (vor allem weiße) Mitglieder sich in beispielloser Weise immer weiter aufrüsten, liefert dieser Mythos fortdauernde Identifikationssymbole und eine Deutung ihrer Ursprünge als Fortschritt durch Anwendung von Gewalt. Seine Prägekraft trägt zur Verhärtung einer Schusswaffenkultur bei, in der sich trügerisches Sicherheitsgefühl und ständige Verunsicherung mischen. Der Mythos befeuert die Sehnsucht nach den "einfachen" Lösungen einer verklärten Vergangenheit, die Millionen amerikanischer Bürger anfällig macht für autoritäre Demagogie à la Tea Party und Donald Trump. Im Mittelpunkt des Mythos steht die Legende vom Revolverkämpfer als Lichtfigur, die das Buch am Beispiel ihres Prototyps erörtert. Der Autor Dr. Rainer Eisfeld ist emeritierter Professor für Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Osnabrück. Er war Gastprofessor an der University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

By examining the intersection of Islamic law, state law, religion, and culture in the Egyptian nation-building process, Recasting Islamic Law highlights how the sharia, when attached to constitutional commitments, is reshaped into modern Islamic state law. Rachel M. Scott analyzes the complex effects of constitutional commitments to the sharia in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. She argues that the sharia is not dismantled by the modern state when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, but rather recast in its service. In showing the particular forms that the sharia takes when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, Scott pushes back against assumptions that introductions of the sharia into modern state law result in either the revival of medieval Islam or in its complete transformation. Scott engages with premodern law and with the Ottoman legal legacy on topics concerning Egypt's Coptic community, women's rights, personal status law, and the relationship between religious scholars and the Supreme Constitutional Court. Recasting Islamic Law considers modern Islamic state law's discontinuities and its continuities with premodern sharia.

"This book investigates the interplay of internal and external constraints, challenges, and possibilities regarding foreign policy in India. It is the first attempt to systematically analyse and focus on the different actors and institutions in the domestic and international contexts who impose and push for various directions in India's foreign policy. Rather than focusing on any one particular theme, the book explores the myriad aspects of foreign policymaking and the close interface between the domestic and external aspects in Indian policymaking. In turn, this relates to the structural issues shaping and reshaping the Asian regional dynamics and India's connectivity within a globalised world. This book will be of great interest to postgraduate students; scholars of Asian Studies, development, and education; and all those involved in policy - especially foreign policy - within India and South Asia. It will also be useful for people working in professional branches of consultancy and the private sector dealing with India and with South Asia in general"--
