Resourcing the National Security Enterprise: Connecting the Ends and Means of US National Security
by Bryant, Susan    Troutman, Mark   
(Paperback - English - 9781621966241)
Few military officers can ascend to the ranks of senior leadership without eventually being assigned to Washington, DC, where newcomers navigating the system inevitably become emmeshed, flabbergasted, and stymied by entrenched bureaucratic processes they had no idea existed. A career in diplomacy or working on the Hill often involves the process-oriented work necessary to keep departments funded and the government functional. In order to succeed, one must understand these rules, especially as they apply to resourcing. Without funding, strategies and policies are merely interesting ideas. Getting an idea or a program resourced requires a thorough understanding of ..

American Ideas of Equality: A Social History, 1750-2020
by Bankston, Carl L.       
(Paperback - English - 9781621966944)
Equality is a fundamental American value. The nation's Declaration of Independence declared equality as a self-evident foundation for political life and the pursuit of equality has continued to dominate policy debates in the twenty-first century. However, equality is a complex idea and it has had different meanings in different eras. Using a variety of data sources, this book describes how the views we hold regarding this fundamental national value developed as products of our cultural history from the origins of the American republic to 2020. It traces how cultural transmission, political and economic structures, and communication technology have shaped this co ..

Party, Politics, and the Post-9/11 Army
by Urben, Heidi A.       
(Paperback - English - 9781621966197)
*This book is in the Rapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series (General Editor: Dr. Geoffrey R.H. Burn). Throughout the existence of the All-Volunteer Force, but chiefly since the 1990s, the military has faced charges of growing politicization.During periods of heightened partisan polarization-and the inevitable civil-military relations turmoil that ensues-such charges tend to be asserted more frequently, even if the term and what it might constitute remains vague. While civilian political leaders on both sides of the aisle arguably bear much of the responsibility for any politicization of the armed forces, this book examines the extent to whic ..

strong *This book is in the strong strong Rapid Communications in Conflict and Security (RCCS) Series strong strong (General Editor: Geoffrey R.H. Burn) strong . br Deterrence theory helps conceptualize how threats can be used and communicated to influence or alter an adversary's behavior. In practice, deterrence works by weighing on an actor's perceived costs and benefits of pursuing an unwanted action. Deterrence-and its close relatives, coercion, compellence, dissuasion, and influence-can be accomplished by using threats of punishment (i.e., retaliation) or by denying adversaries the gains they seek (i.e., defense, resilience, and failure).

by Chiang, Howard       
(Paperback - English - 9781621966982)
As the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in Asia and host the first annual gay pride in the Sinophone Pacific, Taiwan is a historic center of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer culture.

This anthology provides a deeper understanding of queer literary hi ..

Transitions in Taiwan: Stories of the White Terror
by Rowen, Ian       
(Paperback - English - 9781621966975)
Taiwan's peaceful, democratic society is built upon decades of authoritarian state violence with which it is still coming to terms. At the close of World War II in 1945, after fifty years of Japanese colonization, Taiwan was occupied by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). The party massacred thousands of Taiwanese while it established a military dictatorship on the island with the tacit support of the United States. br Although early episodes of state violence (such as the 228 Incident in 1947) and post-1980s democratization in Taiwan have received a significant amount of literary and scholarly attention, relatively less has been written or translated about t ..

A Son of Taiwan: Stories of Government Atrocity
by Goldblatt, Howard    Lin, Sylvia Li-Chun   
(Paperback - English - 9781621966937)
On February 28, 1947, a widow selling cigarettes on the street in Taipei was brutally beaten by government agents searching for contraband cigarettes. When a crowd gathered, shots were fired and a bystander was killed. Island-wide demonstrations prompted the Chiang Kai-shek government to send reinforcements from China. Upon arrival, the troops opened fire, killing thousands. The massacre was followed by large-scale arrests of anyone suspected of sedition or Communist associations, all in the name of national security. Martial law was declared and not lifted until 1987. br What happened in 1947 is known as the 2 28 Incident, which led to a four-decade-long supp ..

Staging for the Emperors: A History of Qing Court Theatre, 1683-1923
by Chen, Liana       
(Hardcover - English - 9781621965480)
Theatrical performance occupied a central place in the emotional and political life of the Qing dynasty imperial household. For over two centuries, the Qing court poured a tremendous amount of human and material resources into institutionalizing the theatrical arts for the purposes of entertainment and edification. The emperors and empresses were ardent patrons and key players in establishing an artistic form that the court theatre called its own. They went to great lengths to cultivate a discerning taste in theatre and oversaw the artistic and managerial aspects of court theatrical activities. In the imperial theatrical spaces within and outside the Forbidden C ..

Japan's Russia: Challenging the East-West Paradigm
by Solovieva, Olga V.    Konishi, Sho   
(Hardcover - English - 9781621965534)
strong *Includes 29 images. strong br The Russian cultural presence in Japan after the Meiji Revolution was immense. Indeed, Japanese cultural negotiations with Russian intellectuals and Russian literature, art, theology and political thought, formed an important basis for modern Japanese transnational intellectual, cultural, literary, and artistic production. And yet, despite the depth and range of "Japan's Russia," this historical phenomenon has been markedly neglected in our studies of modern Japanese intellectual life. This absence may be attributed to the fact that "Japan's Russia" as idea and cultural expression developed outside the logic of Western ..

Law and Society in Imperial Japan: Suehiro Izutarō and the Search for Equity
by Morgan, Jason       
(Hardcover - English - 9781604979930)
Japan emerged from the Edo Period (1600-1868) with a legal system which, in many ways, tended to privilege situational judgment over strict adherence to universally-applicable legal codes. Under pressure from without and within to "modernize," Japan adopted many Western laws and jurisprudential practices which were largely alien to Japanese society. At the same time, Japan took on Western modes of political participation which tended to exacerbate more than solve the social ills attendant on industrialization and modernity. Suehiro Izutarō, a legal scholar at the University of Tokyo, and a group of likeminded professors and activists attempted to ameliorate ..

The Great Leap Backward: Forgetting and Representing the Mao Years
by Chen, Lingchei Letty       
(Hardcover - English - 9781604979923)
It is now forty years after Mao Zedong's death and the end of the Cultural Revolution, and more than fifty years since the Great Leap Forward and the Great Famine. During this time, the collective memory of these events has been sanitized, reduced to a much-diluted version of what truly took place. Historical and sociological approaches cannot fully address the moral failure that allowed the atrocities of the Mao era to take place. Humanist approaches, such as literary criticism, have a central role to play in uncovering and making explicit the testimonies of both victims and perpetrators in "memory writing" in order to recover the truth of China's history. In ..

The All-Seeing Eye: Collected Poems
by Shang, Qin    Balcom, John   
(Paperback - English - 9781621966210)
Shang Qin (1930-2010) is widely considered one of the most influential and original modern Chinese poets. His critical acclaim was earned not only as a modern master of the prose poem but also as one of Taiwan's leading surrealist poets. Taiwan in the 1950s saw the beginnings of a broad, eclectic search for new poetic models and varieties of modernism. This gained momentum and progressed through the 1960s, growing into a modernist movement. During this boom period for poetry, some of the leading Chinese poets of the second half of the twentieth century and beyond emerged: Lo Fu, Ya Hsien, and Yang Mu, to name just a few. Shang Qin, also one of the giants of the ..
