Book Description
Examining the influence of gender constructs on the international regime protecting war-affected civilians, R. Charli Carpenter examines how in practice belligerents, advocates and humanitarian players interpret civilian immunity so as to leave adult civilian men and older boys at grave risk in conflict zones. Providing a wealth of ground-breaking case studies, the author argues that in order to understand the way in which laws of war are implemented and promoted in international society we must understand how gender ideas affect the principle of civilian immunity. Each case study demonstrates the importance of assumptions about gender relations in shaping international politics, and in developing a framework for incorporating an attention to gender into the often gender-blind scholarship on international norms. As such, this book will be of interest to international relations theorists and to human rights scholars, students and activists alike.

Racial Innocence
Author: Robin Bernstein
Publisher: NYU Press

Category : Social Science

Pages : 328
Book Description
2013 Book Award Winner from the International Research Society in Children's Literature 2012 Outstanding Book Award Winner from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education 2012 Winner of the Lois P. Rudnick Book Prize presented by the New England American Studies Association 2012 Runner-Up, John Hope Franklin Publication Prize presented by the American Studies Association 2012 Honorable Mention, Distinguished Book Award presented by the Society for the Study of American Women Writers Dissects how "innocence" became the exclusive province of white children, covering slavery to the Civil Rights era Beginning in the mid nineteenth century in America, childhood became synonymous with innocence—a reversal of the previously-dominant Calvinist belief that children were depraved, sinful creatures. As the idea of childhood innocence took hold, it became racialized: popular culture constructed white children as innocent and vulnerable while excluding black youth from these qualities. Actors, writers, and visual artists then began pairing white children with African American adults and children, thus transferring the quality of innocence to a variety of racial-political projects—a dynamic that Robin Bernstein calls “racial innocence.” This phenomenon informed racial formation from the mid nineteenth century through the early twentieth. Racial Innocence takes up a rich archive including books, toys, theatrical props, and domestic knickknacks which Bernstein analyzes as “scriptive things” that invite or prompt historically-located practices while allowing for resistance and social improvisation. Integrating performance studies with literary and visual analysis, Bernstein offers singular readings of theatrical productions from blackface minstrelsy to Uncle Tom’s Cabin to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; literary works by Joel Chandler Harris, Harriet Wilson, and Frances Hodgson Burnett; material culture including Topsy pincushions, Uncle Tom and Little Eva handkerchiefs, and Raggedy Ann dolls; and visual texts ranging from fine portraiture to advertisements for lard substitute. Throughout, Bernstein shows how “innocence” gradually became the exclusive province of white children—until the Civil Rights Movement succeeded not only in legally desegregating public spaces, but in culturally desegregating the concept of childhood itself.

The Ashgate Research Companion to War
Author: Hall Gardner
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317041100
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 761
Book Description
Many different social scientists have been challenged by the origins of wars, their immediate causes and the mechanisms leading to the breakdown of peaceful relations. Many have speculated whether conflicts were avoidable and whether alternative policies might have prevented conflict. The Ashgate Research Companion to War provides contributions from a number of theorists and historians with a focus on long term, systemic conflicts. The problèmatique is introduced by the Editors highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches to the study of war as a global phenomenon. The following 29 essays provide a comprehensive study guide in four sections: Part I explicates differing theories as to the origins of war under the general concept of 'polemology'. Part II analyzes significant conflicts from the Peloponnesian wars to World War II. Part III examines the ramifications of Cold War and post-Cold War conflict. Part IV looks at long cycles of systemic conflict, and speculates, in part, whether another global war is theoretically possible, and if so, whether it can be averted. This comprehensive volume brings us a much needed analysis of wars throughout the ages, their origins, their consequences, and their relationship to the present. A valuable understanding that is ideal for social scientists from a variety of backgrounds.

Pages : 828
Book Description
Tomorrow’s World Order [TWO] is a powerful global world leader to act as an overseer and leader in guiding humanity to the next stage of development through effective laws, clearly defined methods and through the provision of a platform to see that through. We are sovereign in our own right as we are independent of any nation and do not belong to any nation, institution or cult, nor do we represent any nation. We have rights to write our own laws and print our own currency and can enforce our laws which are to be followed and adhered to by everyone. Laws that are universal and meant for all mankind and as such laws that MUST be acknowledged and observed by all mankind. We are a global phenomenon to lead mankind out of the defensive stages towards networking and cooperation as nature intended. We strongly believe that mankind has failed. The current system has crashed and now not fit for purpose and we are here to lead mankind out of the defensive stages simply because for the past seventy years global issues have worsened with global debt in excess of $244 trillion, with all recent financial crises, poverty, unemployment, climatic change, wars and political instability and all issues to do with inadequate global finances. We strongly believe that the current system has crashed and as such only a new system will ultimately solve today’s global problems hence the rise of Tomorrow’s World Order. We are here to guide mankind and act as overseer to lay the correct path for mankind to take in order to solve all current and future global problems. For the past 2000 years, mankind has been stuck in the defensive stages where defense plays a key role in whatever mankind does. Where $1.7 trillion is plowed yearly globally into defense, making weapons and relying on weapons and defense as the drivers of the economy. This has meant mankind opting for the cheaper ways of doing things yet the most destructive ones; killing innocent women and children in the process, making cheaper weapons and using these to get the most expensive resources he can’t afford. We strongly think this is not only barbaric but shows that mankind has failed to think out of the box. We as a people are operating below our potential. Mankind’s current system is very wasteful, with $trillion globally plowed into weapons manufacturing and the military at the expense of other areas. Humanity is changing nevertheless at a slow pace and everyone has now realized that we all ought to be networking and cooperating and working towards becoming friends for global peace’s sake. Yet mankind still manufactures weapons and invests heavily in the military when the world is moving toward global peace. Who are we going to use the weapons on especially when sworn enemies like the USA and North Korea are now in talking terms? We know the current system crashed years ago with the last financial crises, yet mankind has stuck to this system that is not fit for purpose. We have come up with a global solution to all global problems and our method will emancipate all nations and create wealth levels never witnessed before. Our system is the only answer to global problems, and we are going to take mankind to the next stage of development creating wealth never witnesses before. Our method works. We believe in national sovereignty as the answer to all global issues. Affordability and the lack of money has meant mankind making cheaper weapons and using these cheaper weapons to get the most expensive resources like oil. This has meant waging wars unnecessarily to make nationalized resources like oil available and cheaper in the process killing thousands of women and children. How can they preach about global peace as the reasons for waging wars and claim to act for global peace’s sake when they kill innocent women and children? I ask you a question; What peace? Whose peace? What about the peace of the women and children who died and are still dying because of wars, sanctions and poverty? For TWO global peace start with these. The women and children dying needlessly as your leaders wage wars, impose evil sanctions and ignore poverty warnings. Therefore, our system is there to increase national and global wealth to levels never witnessed before through printing money as the only effective and only means of guaranteeing new fresh money and a guaranteed boost of the economy the only way it is intended. We have an effective way to tackle hyperinflation. Our system is the only answer and the only way to solve global problems. Imagine a world without; Wars as we are going to put laws that effectively ban global wars forever. Weapons; we are going to ban weapons, manufacturing, trading and possession globally. Fossil fuels; we believe the past wars were waged for oil resources as there were global-affordability issues. Innocent women and children have died needlessly due to oil resources and we are going to put an end to that and ban oil and make it mandatory and encourage other alternate clean, ,cheaper and affordable energy sources like electricity. All vehicles and machinery using fossils, to be banned by a certain date and phased out. Needlessly killing of women and children banned through new laws. Brand new laws to ban and make it illegal and a crime to kill the innocent and defenseless. New laws to protect soldiers and the military personnel as well. Laws banning sanctions globally. Sanctions and terrorists’ acts are one and the same thing you can’t ban one and allow the other as the methods and aims are the same. So, sanctions are banned globally with immediate effect. The only way to deal with global issues is to put a Five-Year Continuous Money Printing Plan that will see increases in global wealth. Printing new fresh money is the only solution to all global issues and we have a system that works that will deal with all issues of hyperinflation etc. This is the only method that works but it’s not just a matter of printing new money we have a comprehensive system that will tackle all other issue regarding the printing of new fresh money, corruption, mismanagement, hyperinflation etc. Only our system provides concrete solutions. We mean business. Imagine a world where every nation has enough money to buy any resources at market prices. A World Without Weapons. A World Without Wars. A World Without Sanctions. A World Without Deaths of Women and Children Through Wars, Sanctions and Poverty. A World Where We Are Networking and Cooperating. A World Where There Are No Boundaries. A World That Is Very Competitive and Productive. A World Without Polluting Fossil Fuels or High Noise Vehicles. A Clean World. A New World Order.
