The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have seen a renaissance in the study of virtue -- a topic that has prevailed in philosophical work since the time of Aristotle. Several major developments have conspired to mark this new age. Foremost among them, some argue, is the birth of virtue ethics, an approach to ethics that focuses on virtue in place of consequentialism (the view that normative properties depend only on consequences) or deontology (the study of what we have a moral duty to do). The emergence of new virtue theories also marks this new wave of work on virtue. Put simply, these are theories about what virtue is, and they include Kantian and utilitarian virtue theories. Concurrently, virtue ethics is being applied to other fields where it hasn't been used before, including bioethics and education. In addition to these developments, the study of virtue in epistemological theories has become increasingly widespread to the point that it has spawned a subfield known as 'virtue epistemology.'This volume therefore provides a representative overview of philosophical work on virtue. It is divided into seven parts: conceptualizations of virtue, historical and religious accounts, contemporary virtue ethics and theories of virtue, central concepts and issues, critical examinations, applied virtue ethics, and virtue epistemology. Forty-two chapters by distinguished scholars offer insights and directions for further research. In addition to philosophy, authors also deal with virtues in non-western philosophical traditions, religion, and psychological perspectives on virtue.

We hear "anti-American" on a daily basis, it seems. When does it indicate a serious threat to security? When is it merely a label that the Bush administration slaps on anyone who dares to disagree with its foreign policy? Nancy Snow tackles not only the government's manipulation of the term, but also the broader use of U.S. propaganda for public relations. She further connects these to the tendency of U.S. administrations and media—past and present—to focus on projecting a better U.S. image rather than addressing the issues behind why the country's image is so poor, both at home and abroad. Snow is an American propaganda expert and a former U.S. Information Agency and State Department official. If America truly cares what others think, she argues, it needs to get over itself as the "number-one country." The government needs to spend less time diverting public attention and more time enlisting the public to help improve foreign relations. It needs to involve all citizens, not just government-approved lackeys, "journalists" paid to talk nice, or the predictable influentials and elites typically involved in foreign affairs.And the public needs to exercise its right to dissent—a critical power at the heart of democracy—rather than letting the government or the media halt foreign policy debates with labels, propaganda, and arrogant rhetoric.

The second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy, co-edited by two leading scholars in the international relations subfield of public diplomacy, includes 16 more chapters from the first. Ten years later, a new global landscape of public diplomacy has taken shape, with major programs in graduate-level public diplomacy studies worldwide.What separates this handbook from others is its legacy and continuity from the first edition. This first edition line-up was more military-focused than this edition, a nod to the work of Philip M. Taylor, to whom this updated edition is dedicated. This edition includes US content, but all case studies are outside the United States, not only to appeal to a global audience of scholars and practitioners, but also as a way of offering something fresher than the US/UK-centric competition. In Parts 1–4, original contributors are retained, many with revised editions, but new faces emerge. Parts 5 and 6 include 16 global case studies in public diplomacy, expanding the number of contributors by ten. The concluding part of the book includes chapters on digital and corporate public diplomacy, and a signature final chapter on the noosphere and noopolitik as they relate to public diplomacy.Designed for a broad audience, the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy is encyclopedic in its range and depth of content, yet is written in an accessible style that will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The SAGE Handbook of Propaganda unpacks the ever-present and exciting topic of propaganda to explain how it invades the human psyche, in what ways it does so, and in what contexts.As a beguiling tool of political persuasion in times of war, peace, and uncertainty, propaganda incites people to take, often violent, action, consciously or unconsciously. This pervasive influence is particularly prevalent in world politics and international relations today. In this interdisciplinary Handbook, the editors have gathered together a group of world-class scholars from Europe, America, Asia, and the Middle East, to discuss leadership propaganda, war propaganda, propaganda for peace marketing, propaganda as a psychological tool, terror-enhanced propaganda, and the contemporary topics of internet-mediated propaganda.Unlike previous publications on the subject, this book brings to the forefront current manifestations and processes of propaganda such as Islamist, and Far Right propaganda, from interdisciplinary perspectives.In its four parts, the Handbook offers researchers and academics of propaganda studies, peace and conflict studies, media and communication studies, political science and governance marketing, as well as intelligence and law enforcement communities, a comprehensive overview of the tools and context of the development and evolution of propaganda from the twentieth century to the present:Part One: Concepts, Precepts and Techniques in Propaganda ResearchPart Two: Methodological Approaches in Propaganda ResearchPart Three: Tools and Techniques in Counter-Propaganda ResearchPart Four: Propaganda in Context

This powerful narrative reimagines the USS Missouri as a symbol of American diplomacy, memory, and global engagement. From hosting Japan’s surrender to serving as a Cold War envoy, Battleship Diplomat reveals how the “Mighty Mo” forged bonds across borders and generations—embodying the enduring intersection of strength with statecraft. Battleship Diplomat: The Enduring Legacy of the USS Missouri tells the remarkable story of the USS Missouri, one of the most iconic warships ever built and an enduring symbol of peace, diplomacy, and cultural memory. From the moment Margaret Truman christened her in Brooklyn to the day she entered Tokyo Bay to host Japan’s surrender, Missouri became more than a battleship. She made history as a diplomatic vessel that blended American power with the art of persuasion and alliance. Author Nancy Snow moves beyond steel and gunfire to reveal the ship’s life as an “armored diplomat.” Snow’s father served aboard Missouri during its landmark 1946 Mediterranean goodwill cruise, giving her a unique lens on the ship’s lasting symbolic power. Battleship Diplomat illuminates how the vessel embodied America’s global role in both war and peace. Readers sail with Missouri as she carries the remains of Turkish ambassador Munir Ertegun home to Istanbul in a gesture of goodwill that continues to resonate in Turkish memory today. The battleship served as a floating envoy in Greece and Turkey, carried Truman home from Rio, steadied allies in the early Cold War, and later returned to active duty in Korea and the Persian Gulf. Along the way, she was never merely a machine of war; rather, she became a stage for popular culture and a bridge that binds generations. In Battleship Diplomat, Snow makes clear that Missouri’s greatest legacy is not the battles she fought, but the human bonds she formed. Whether in ceremony, celebration, or controversy—from stowaway legends to Cher’s music video—Missouri symbolizes the paradox of power: that strength and diplomacy are inseparable. Tracing her journey, the reader sees how a single ship carried the weight of American ideals, aspirations, and contradictions across decades and oceans. The conclusion is clear: “The Mighty Mo” endures because she is more than a relic of the past. Now preserved in Pearl Harbor, standing watch over the USS Arizona Memorial, Missouri continues to teach new generations about the responsibilities of power, the possibilities of peace, and the need for cultural connection across borders. For general readers fascinated by history, diplomacy, and the human stories behind iconic symbols, Battleship Diplomat offers a fresh and compelling lens on one of America’s most storied vessels.
