The four volumes of this set bring together key contributions to the study of Shi’ism, giving access to material that has hitherto been scattered and difficult to locate. While the majority of the material stems from the past fifty years, earlier studies are included, providing insight into the field’s development. This collection reflects the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of today’s Shi’ite studies. Volume One covers the birth of Shi’ism and traces its development. The emphasis is on the socio-political history of communities self-identifying as Shi’ite, focusing largely on the majority ‘Twelvers’, but also covering ‘offshoot’ sects.Volume Two consists of articles which explore the theologies and philosophical ideals of Shi’ism. Particular emphasis is given to those aspects of Shi’ite orthodoxy and orthopraxy which distinguish them from the Sunni majority. Volume Three is devoted to Shi’ite law, with special reference to the evolution of ‘independent reasoning’ – the principle which underpins the inherent dynamism of Shi’ite jurisprudence and which has ensured continuation of development down to the present day. Volume Four concentrates on the development of theories of government among the Shi’ite scholarly milieu, tracing political Shi’ism from its turbulent beginnings to its pre-modern and contemporary manifestation.- Häftad, Engelska, 2010

This new rendering of the Holy Quran into the English language is the first of its kind, since it is a combination of translation and exegesis in which the author 'opens out' the verses of the Holy Book to reveal some of the layers of meaning expounded by the Prophet and transmitted through the ages by the Prophet's companions, family and the scholars who followed them. The fruit of over thirty years of research into the principles of Quranic exegesis and hadith analysis, this work matches a depth of Arabic and Islamic learning with a mastery of English that is lucid and accessible while preserving the integrity of the original text. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2003

Taking a realist approach, this insightful book looks at the forces shaping the evolution of global infrastructure networks. As the international economy globalises, there is an emergent need for national systems to adapt and integrate to form a global system. The authors expose the move to interconnect state infrastructures as a strategy to support and enhance states' territoriality. Examined through the lens of economic infrastructure (including transport, energy and information) this book addresses the forces of integration and fragmentation in the development of global networks. The significant impact of globalisation on infrastructure adaptation is especially highlighted, as well as the key limitations hindering development. Global Infrastructure Networks will be of great interest to academics and graduate students of geography, political economy and public policy. International policy makers will also find this a compelling read, as it identifies the benefits and limitations of upcoming developments in global infrastructure. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2017

This highly informative book examines the form and process of infrastructure integration across the Asian continent. Colin Turner analyses key sub-regions to demonstrate how connectivity has been historically limited, as well as crucial opportunities for improvement.Chapters investigate examples of formal regional integration agreements across Eurasia, including East and South Asia and Gulf-Co-operation Council states. Turner identifies how fractious relations and an erratic political economy has resulted in the stagnation of progress towards economic integration. Focusing on both hard and soft infrastructure systems, he evaluates influential case studies such as China's Belt and Road Initiative and pan-Asian connectivity initiatives to illustrate possibilities for successful infrastructural integration in Asia.The Asian Infrastructure System is an essential resource for students and scholars of Asian studies, infrastructure, international political economy and urban and regional studies. It is also beneficial to practitioners of infrastructure planning and policy makers seeking to promote connection. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2015

Conventional notions of strategy within the discipline of International Business are focused on corporate activity and how these commercial agents adjust to the context of the global marketplace. Geostrategy focuses on the forms of strategy deployed by the other major agent operating within the global system: states. States strategizing is widely accepted. States in the global system compete, co-operate and collaborate across multiple dimensions from trade to environmentalism, impacting upon the context in which corporate strategies are formed. This book posits that geostrategies are shaped and formed by the interaction of any state with other states, emerging as amalgams of political and economic forces within the global system. State strategy has tended to come from one of two directions: geopolitics or business. The result is that the concept of geostrategy has been underexplored and under-developed as it has fallen between two approaches. This book offers a multi-disciplinary approach with Geostrategy located at the confluence of the overlapping domains of international business, political geography, international political economy, global politics and political and social theory.It is geostrategy that shapes the relative operating environment of business. For too long the state has been a neglected topic, with the accepted narrative that it would be rendered irrelevant by the sheer power of globalization. However, recent trends have seen the state reassert itself and begin to restrain and reshape the global system. Thus, for both practitioners and students, understanding these forces of change is a necessary capability. This book brings geostrategy into the mainstream of the study of International Business.
