"This handbook examines key aspects of the development of the global history of warfare and the changing patterns of warfare over time. Although scholarship has long eschewed a chronological narrative of the evolution of warfare that privileges the Western experience, global histories of warfare have had difficulty avoiding an overemphasis on the West. The present volume is a collection of themes rather than a history per se; it provides important perspectives on the emergence of warfare as a global historical experience from the ancient past to the present-day. Drawing together numerous experts, it tells a broader, more inclusive story of the global, human experience with wars and warfare. The 35 essays are organized in eight thematic sections: Part I: Origins of Warfare Part II: Polities and Armed Forces in the Pre-modern Era Part III: Steppe Nomads of Eurasia Part IV: Naval Warfare and Piracy in the Pre-Industrial World Part V: The Impact of Gunpowder Part VI: Transition from Industrial to Total War Part VII: Wars of Decolonisation and Cold War Part VIII: Postmodern/New Wars These sections offer an overview of the global experience of warfare to help readers understand how the wars and the militaries we see today have been shaped by historical developments across the globe. This handbook will be of great interest to students of military history, naval history, strategic studies and world history in general"--

Mongolia, a vibrant democracy landlocked between Russia and China, stands on the edge of becoming Asia's next boom nation--one of the richest countries per capita in the region. Referred to as the "wolf economy" for its vast natural resources--copper, gold, and rare earth metals--today, it is also home to a growing number of cutting-edge tech startups and international lifestyle brands. Its vast steppe landscape lends itself not only to herding and tourism but also renewable energy production and filmmaking. This book is about the individuals who are fighting to strengthen the country's democracy and diversify its economy. It is about innovators aiming to realize Mongolia's promise as a hub for green energy, tech and lifestyle entrepreneurs who are shaking up traditional industries, and go-getters who have left high-flying jobs on Wall Street to return to the country they love and play their part in moving it forward. Unlocking a country's potential is never easy. But if administered well, and if corruption can be rooted out, Mongolia stands every chance of becoming Asia's next success story. Traveling across Mongolia on numerous visits, Asia correspondent and award-winning author Johan Nylander speaks to the country's leaders and innovators--not to mention a cast of digital nomads, jazz musicians, and ordinary families--and finds a nation ready to grasp a better future.

Proposing a new, dynamic conception of citizenship, this book argues against understandings of citizenship as a collection of rights that can be either possessed or endowed, and demonstrates it is an emergent condition that has temporal and spatial dimensions. Furthermore, citizenship is shown to be continually and contingently reconstituted through the struggles between those considered insiders and outsiders. Significantly, these struggles do not result in a clear division between citizens and non-citizens, but in a multiplicity of states that are at once included within and excluded from the political community. These liminal states of citizenship are elaborated in relation to three specific forms of non-citizenship: the'respectable illegal, the'intimate foreigner'and the'abject citizen'. Each of these modalities of citizenship corresponds to either the figure of the clandestino/a or the nomad as invoked in the 2008 Italian Security Package and a second set of laws, commonly referred to as the'Nomad Emergency Decree'. Exploring how this legislation affected and was negotiated by individuals and groups who were constituted as'objects of security', author Kate Hepworth focuses on the first-hand experience of individuals deemed threats to the nation. Situated within the field of human geography, the book draws on literature from citizenship studies, critical security studies and migration studies to show how processes of securitisation and irregularisation work to delimit between citizens and non-citizens, as well as between legitimate and illegitimate outsiders.

This book is the attempt to bring - through the study of the written sources - one of the many faces of the complex Mongol history to its historical dimension. It concentrates on the Mongol dominion in Caucasia, considered as the area that goes from the Azov Sea down to modern Georgia. The period of the Mongol dominion was not the unique occasion during which sedentaries cultures and nomad civilizations came to interact; but it was only after this event that Caucasia underwent a coherent power of a united political system which enclosed in itself the character of both the social models. The genesis of this process and its results are the main object of this book. - Il volume intende riportare, attraverso lo studio delle fonti, un aspetto della complessa vicenda mongola alla sua dimensione storica. L'opera si concentra sulla dominazione mongola nella Caucasia, qui considerata come l'area che dal Mar d'Azov scende a sud fino a includere la Georgia attuale. Il periodo della dominazione mongola non fu la prima occasione durante la quale culture sedentarie e civiltà nomadi si trovarono a interagire; è pero in seguito a questo evento che la Caucasia subì un potere coerente da parte di un sistema organizzato che racchiuse in sé i caratteri di entrambi i modelli; la genesi di tale processo e i suoi risultati costituiscono l'oggetto fondamentale del lavoro.
