"In this work, one of Latin America's most renowned legal philosophers conducts a comprehensive survey of the ancient Greek understanding of the law, drawing on texts by poets (Hesiod), philosophers (Anaximander), playwrights (Aeschylus and Sophocles), and historians (Herodotus and Thucydides). The book ends with a finely detailed analysis of the relationship between language and reality in Aristotle, and the emergence of the notion of the system and its subsequent introduction into Roman law. The author's in-depth study of all these aspects makes this volume an essential reference for philosophers, jurists, and historians"--

Examining identity in relation to globalization and migration, this book uses narratives and memoirs from contemporary authors who have lived 'in-between' two or more languages. It explores the human desire to find one's 'own place' in new cultural contexts, and looks at the role of language in shaping a sense of belonging in society.

"Cosmopolitan Spaces in Odesa: A Case Study of an Urban Context is the first book to explore Odesa's cosmopolitan spaces in an urban context from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Leading scholars shed new light on encounters between Jewish, Ukrainian, and Russian cultures. They debate different understandings of cosmopolitanism as they are reflected in Odesa's rich multilingual culture, ranging from intellectual history and education to music, opera, and literature. The issues of language and interethnic tensions, imperialist repression, and language choice are still with us today. Moreover, the book affords a historical view of what lay behind the Odesa myth, as well as insights into the Jewish and Ukrainian cultural revivals of the early twentieth century"--

Based on extensive field work, this book analyzes how ISIS – a widely hated, massively outnumbered, and ludicrously outgunned organization – managed to occupy over 120 cities, towns, and villages from the Southern Philippines to Western Libya. Seeking to understand ISIS's combat effectiveness, Omar Ashour focuses on the military and tactical innovations of ISIS and their predecessors in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Egypt. The author explains how their capacity to mix conventional military tactics with innovative guerrilla warfare and urban terrorism strategies allowed ISIS to expand and endure beyond expectations. This Ukrainian translation is supplemented by a special introduction on Russia's war against Ukraine and the ISIS tactics adoption by Russian troops (2014-2022).

Untersucht wird die Konzeptualisierung ethnischer und nationaler Identität bei den Russinen in der Bačka und Syrmien und den Ukrainern in Bosnien und Slawonien (später auch in der Vojvodina) im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts: Handelt es sich um zwei getrennte Gruppen oder um eine einzige ukrainische Diaspora? Die Konkurrenz religiöser Institutionen wie der griechisch-katholischen und der ukrainisch-orthodoxen Kirche spielte bereits in der Zwischenkriegszeit eine große Rolle, sie setzte sich während des 2. Weltkriegs zwischen Kollaboration mit Hitler-Deutschland und Partisanenwiderstand fort. Im sozialistischen Jugoslawien wurde die Frage nach der Ukrainizität der Russinen ein Teil von Titos Ethnopolitik: Nach dem Bruch mit der Sowjetunion 1948 wurde die Idee des jugoslawischen Russinentums gefördert und die Gruppe 1971 als eigenständige Nationalität anerkannt, während die ukrainische Diaspora im Land weiterhin die Einheit von Russinen und Ukrainern propagierte. Der Band analysiert die Träger minoritärer Identitätsdiskurse und kontextualisiert sie in der jugoslawischen und sowjetischen Minderheitenpolitik. (Dieser Titel als Buch: 6014)

Simitis examines the European debt crisis with particular reference to the Greek case. He investigates its spillover from a Greek-specific problem to a Eurozone-wide crisis and chronicles the policy responses to combat it. His central argument is that the main cause of the Eurozone's problems was, and still remains, the indecisiveness of European elites to tackle its underlying deficiencies. Leading Eurozone countries have been unwilling to commit to a common long-term plan which could deal convincingly with complex and inter-related problems affecting both its 'core' and its 'periphery'
