This book traces the evolution of the postcolonial state and the social contract in Egypt. It problematises two of the most ubiquitous and contentious terms: democratisation and development, within the context of Egypt and the larger Global South. It also subverts western-centric ideas of global politics to examine why certain aspects of Egypt’s history and policies have received more attention than others. This volume presents a study of state-society relations, the shift to Infitah, the impact of neoliberalisation from 1970 to 2011, and social responses to it. It argues that the Arab Uprisings of 2011 were not isolated events, but a result of a longue durée political-economic history. Through the prism of postcoloniality, it shows how citizenship is constantly renegotiated in view of the ongoing neoliberalisation and the impact of such social transformations on the nature of the postcolonial state. It juxtaposes the role of the state and society against global political and economic landscapes to address the larger question: what is the nature of the postcolonial state?This book will be of interest to a wide array of scholars and researchers from politics and international relations, sociology and social anthropology, social theory, political theory, postcolonialism and Global South studies.

This volume celebrates the groundbreaking contributions of Prof. A.K. Ramakrishnan, whose work has redefined International Relations through critical theory, postcolonial lenses, and transdisciplinary methods. By centering the "unarticulated body" and subaltern experience, this volume invites readers to undiscipline IR—one critical perspective at a time. Challenging hegemonic narratives, the book interrogates mainstream IR epistemologies—from Orientalist frameworks to neoliberal paradigms—while centering non-Western knowledge systems. Through themes like Political Islam, social movements, and intersectional identities, it bridges cultural studies, philosophy, and grassroots politics to reveal how West Asia’s contested realities reshape global discourse. The chapters dissect pressing issues: the Palestinian genocide, refugee experiences, artificial intelligence in conflict, and the suppression of dissent, while theorizing agency through poetry, memory, and spatiality. The volume argues for area studies as the core of IR, dismantling "great power politics" to prioritize marginalized voices and organic epistemologies of the Global South. Designed for scholars, policymakers, and activists, this book is essential for reimagining IR pedagogy and praxis. It serves as a key resource for students and faculty in Political Science, Postcolonial Studies, and Middle East scholarship, offering radical methodologies to decode democratization, religion, and resistance. Think tanks, journalists, and diplomats will find its critiques of policy formulation and Orientalist discourse invaluable, while civil society actors gain tools to link local struggles to global justice.

This edited volume compiles recent advancements in techniques and technologies for sustainable crop production, focusing on innovative approaches to mitigate the adverse effects of environmental stress on crop productivity. The book offers a comprehensive overview of advanced physiological, molecular, agronomic, microbial, and breeding strategies designed to improve crop performance under stress conditions. It emphasizes high-throughput phenotyping and genotyping technologies, facilitating precise breeding for the development of climate-resilient crop varieties.The increasing impacts of climate change and global warming are now widely recognized as major threats to global food security, exacerbated by the depletion of natural resources essential for agricultural activities. With the world population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, the scientific community is tasked with finding critical solutions to meet the growing demand for food. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches that integrate plant and soil systems, focusing on the development of sustainable, climate-smart agricultural practices. This volume explores technological interventions for managing degraded soils and water resources, optimizing nutrient management, leveraging microbial diversity, and employing nanobiotechnology for crop improvement. It also addresses the economics of agricultural investment, providing insights into the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of adopting climate-smart practices.The book offers a detailed analysis of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to environmental stress, helping readers understand how plants adapt to adverse conditions. It also presents practical strategies for developing multi-stress-tolerant, climate-resilient crops, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and professionals in agriculture, plant physiology, biochemistry, forestry, agronomy, soil science, and environmental sciences.
