First published in 1956, Nationalism and Liberty explores the possibility of nationalism being compatible with respect for individual liberty and diversity by studying the example of Switzerland. Composed of German, French and Italian speaking populations which in the age of nationalism had been involved in many bloody and bitter conflicts in Europe, Switzerland had succeeded in establishing harmony and cooperation. The author argues that Switzerland can serve as a model for Europe - not only for the peaceful cooperation of different peoples, but also for the growth of unity. This book will be of interest to students of history, political science, international relations and geography.

Research Handbook on Human Rights and Intellectual Property is a comprehensive reference work on the intersection of human rights and intellectual property law. Resulting from a field-specific expertise of over 40 scholars and professionals of world renown, the book explores the practical and doctrinal implications of human rights considerations on intellectual property law and jurisprudence. The various chapters of the book scrutinize issues related to interactions among and between norms of different legal families and the role of human rights in the development of a balanced intellectual property legal framework. The innovative approach of the book is reflected in its structure: the first part provides a foundation for the human rights and intellectual property discourse; the second sheds light on the human rights implications for the development of intellectual property; and the third (characterised by a human rights perspective) is devoted to the specific issues of interaction between human rights and intellectual property. Exploring in depth a variety of interactions between human rights and intellectual property law, the book will be of great interest to academics and experts working within human rights, intellectual property, development, international relations and international public law

This second edition updates Alvesson's significant critique of the economy of persuasion, where organisations and groups assign resources to rhetoric, image, and reputation rather than production of goods and services. It examines critical phenomena such as the knowledge society, consumption, higher education, organisational change, and leadership.

"The Souls of Black Folk is a founding text of the US civil rights movement, an inspiring work of literature and advocacy by a young man who drew on his own experience as a child in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a teacher in the hills of Tennessee, a father grieving after the death of his baby son. It is a book compiled in haste but nonetheless a command performance. The fourteen vivid essays are political, philosophical, historical, and personal. The first three explore the history of slavery, following by six chapters of sociological analysis in Du Bois's resonant prose. The remainder of the book is replete with stories that show different facets of the Black experience and explain Du Bois's statement that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line." More than a century later, The Souls of Black Folk inspires us to find the courage and imagination to solve that problem in the twenty-first century. Berkshire Publishing is delighted to make several of W. E. B. Du Bois's most accessible and relevant books available in new Great Barrington Editions. They include his Autobiography rearranged, for the first time, in accordance with Du Bois's instructions and also available for the first time as an ebook. Berkshire Publishing Group was founded in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the small New England town where W. E. B. Du Bois was born in 1868. Du Bois wrote eloquently about the town and its people, and he is remembered today as the most influential graduate of the town's schools. Du Bois wrote eloquently about his formative experiences in Great Barrington: Du Bois's origins in Great Barrington have been an inspiration to Berkshire Publishing Group for many years, as debates about honoring him roiled the town. Some claimed that this was simply racism; others insisted that the issue was that he he became a communist and left the United States at the end of his life, Nonetheless, at long last there is now a W. E. B. Du Bois Middle School in Great Barrington, and signs on roads leading into town saying, "Birthplace of W. E. B. Du Bois." Main Street is lined with flags showing his portrait and the words "Native Son." As this book was going to press in 2022, his granddaughter, Yolande Du Bois Williams Irvin (1932-2021), was buried in the Mahaiwe Cemetery, next to her grandmother, mother, and uncle (Du Bois's first wife and his two children). And the small Black church that "Willie" Du Bois attended and wrote his first published articles about, a story first told in Berkshire's Sewing Circles and Dime Suppers, is being developed as an educational and cultural center"--

"This book is about race. Specifically, it is about the development of racial thought from the end of the eighteenth century through to the second half of the nineteenth century. It starts with one war - Britain's epic struggle with France between 1793 and 1815 - and ends with another - the Anglo-Asante War of 1873-4, neatly sidestepping the American Civil War in between. It is apt that warfare bookends this study since the main focus of the book are the West India Regiments (WIRs), British army units composed largely of men of African descent. This book uses the WIRs as a lens to focus in on changing racial attitudes in the Anglophone Atlantic. Racial thought Race is a slippery concept. As a means of categorising peoples it has only a tangential relationship with biology.1 It is far too subjective, and often personal, for that. As individuals we each perceive race differently, primarily via sight but with the other senses contributing as well, constructing a racial identity for ourselves and for others that may not concord with those of other people.2 Someone whom I perceive to be white, for instance, might not be perceived by others as white, or indeed think of themselves as white. If race is confusing now, it was an even more plastic concept for most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries 'being determined by lifestyles, diet and, above all,by climate'"--
