Book Description
Devised to legitimize the Republic of China’s claim over Inner Asia, the Sinocentric paradigm stems from the Open Door Policy and Chinese nationalism. Advanced against the conquest theory, and rationalized as the pathfinding ecological theory, it is an evolutionary materialist scheme that became the vision of history. Exposing the initial agenda of this paradigm and revealing its fundamental contradictions, The Nomadic Leviathan debunks it as a myth. Resurrecting the conquest theory, and reinforcing it with the idea of extrahuman transportation, this book places pastoralism at the origin of the state and civilization, and the Eurasian steppe at the center of human history; the political emerges as the primary and fundamental order defining the social and economic.

War for Peace
Author: Murad Idris
Publisher:
ISBN: 0190658010
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Peace is a universal ideal, but its political life is a great paradox: "peace" is the opposite of war, but it also enables war. If peace is the elimination of war, then what does it mean to wage war for the sake of peace? What does peace mean when some say that they are committed to it but that their enemies do not value it? Why is it that associating peace with other ideals, like justice, friendship, security, and law, does little to distance peace from war? Although political theory has dealt extensively with most major concepts that today define "the political" it has paid relatively scant critical attention to peace, the very concept that is often said to be the major aim and ideal of humanity. In War for Peace, Murad Idris looks at the ways that peace has been treated across the writings of ten thinkers from ancient and modern political thought, from Plato to Immanuel Kant and Sayyid Qutb, to produce an original and striking account of what peace means and how it works. Idris argues that peace is parasitical in that the addition of other ideals into peace, such as law, security, and friendship, reduces it to consensus and actually facilitates war; it is provincial in that its universalized content reflects particularistic desires and fears, constructions of difference, and hierarchies within humanity; and it is polemical, in that its idealization is not only the product of antagonisms, but also enables hostility. War for Peace uncovers the basis of peace's moralities and the political functions of its idealizations, historically and into the present. This bold and ambitious book confronts readers with the impurity of peace as an ideal, and the pressing need to think beyond universal peace.

Nomad-State Relationships in International Relations
Author: Jamie Levin
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030280535
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book explores non-state actors that are or have been migratory, crossing borders as a matter of practice and identity. Where non-state actors have received considerable attention amongst political scientists in recent years, those that predate the state—nomads—have not. States, however, tend to take nomads quite seriously both as a material and ideational threat. Through this volume, the authors rectify this by introducing nomads as a distinct topic of study. It examines why states treat nomads as a threat and it looks particularly at how nomads push back against state intrusions. Ultimately, this exciting volume introduces a new topic of study to IR theory and politics, presenting a detailed study of nomads as non-state actors.

Leviathan's Glass
Author: Deborah Barnett
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1445241218
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
The equal armed cross is a symbol as old as mankind, predating the modern cross by millennia. It represents the crossing point between body and spirit. For the true adept there is another crossing line which bisects the two. The true light of gnosis is represented by this line. At this point reality and dreams blend and sit not altogether comfortably together. What seems mundane, what could be ordinary can be transformed into the truly magical at the point of crossing The Abyss between the Great Sea and the place wherein true wisdom dwells. The experience differs for every adept and this book is not intended to be a definitive work on crossing The Abyss. Rather it is designed to open up those centres receptive to the primeval forces which of necessity need to be released, tamed and then banished. Love is the law, love under will. Where the three forces meet then either chaos ensues or order is created from chaos.
