Abstract:

Temporary urbanism has become a distinctive feature of urban life after the 2008 global financial crisis. This book offers a critical exploration of its emergence and establishment as a seductive discourse and as an entangled field of practice encompassing architecture, visual and performative arts, urban regeneration policies and planning. Drawing on seven years of semi-ethnographic research, it explores the politics of temporariness from a situated analysis of neighbourhood transformation, media representations and wider political and cultural shifts in austerity London.

Abstract:

Digital media is changing the ways in which religion is practiced, understood, proselytised and countered. Religious institutions and leaders use digital media to engage with their congregations who now are not confined to single locations and physical structures. The faithful are part of online communities which allow them a space to worship and to find fellowship. Migrant and mobile subjects thus are able to be connected to their faith -- whether home grown or emerging -- wherever they may be, providing them with an anchor in unfamiliar physical and cultural surroundings.

Abstract:

This chapter provides a new perspective on the subject of maritime security. It argues that piracy and armed robbery at sea are in reality land-based problems, the root causes of which still remain to be addressed by the international community. However, this chapter also maintains that, instead of focussing on short-term security measures, the stress factors that lead to instability, insecurity, and uncontrolled mass migration should also be addressed. The aim should be to improve economic development, supported by maritime development and underpinned by maritime security. Furthermore, the ch

Viewing the market as a political ideology in support of a liberal system of governance, and not just as an economic practice or economy-wide structural feature, draws attention to the market’s role as part of the normative structure of International Relations. The book tracks the emergence of the market as an international norm in the nineteenth century and explores its evolution up to the early twenty-first century.

Abstract The growth of China and its re-emergence as a major economic power has been a key feature of globalization in the twenty-first century. China has become an increasingly significant actor in the global economy and this is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. The implications of this for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have been a source of major debate. This book examines the arguments, drawing on a growing body of research on China’s economic involvement in SSA and LAC. It begins by considering the process of economic reform in China from th

The second is that urban vacancy will play an even greater role in urban development, politics and experimentation in the future. Spaces officially designated as ‘vacant’ are the sites of conte

What, after all, is its use, if (as Kant claims) the moral law is sufficient to determine how we should act? What is the highest good actually good for in everyday life?
