Download or read book Territory and Power in the United Kingdom written by Jim Bulpitt and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Territory and Power in the United Kingdom is about the nature of the UK state, where it came from and where it is going. Bulpitt sought to summarise the political code and statecraft that has helped govern the territories of the United Kingdom for much of the twentieth century, though it had its antecedents many years before. He provides an account of its emergence, operation and decline, which summarises an important phase in the United Kingdom's history and marks out why the country stood out from its continental neighbours in terms of its territorial organisation and state tradition. This ECPR Classics edition includes a new introduction by Peter John placing this important, classic work in a current context.
Book Synopsis Information, Territory, and Networks by : Hilde De Weerdt
Download or read book Information, Territory, and Networks written by Hilde De Weerdt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The occupation of the northern half of the Chinese territories in the 1120s brought about a transformation in political communication in the south that had lasting implications for imperial Chinese history. By the late eleventh century, the Song court no longer dominated the production of information about itself and its territories. Song literati gradually consolidated their position as producers, users, and discussants of court gazettes, official records, archival compilations, dynastic histories, military geographies, and maps. This development altered the relationship between court and literati in political communication for the remainder of the imperial period. Based on a close reading of reader responses to official records and derivatives and on a mapping of literati networks, the author further proposes that the twelfth-century geopolitical crisis resulted in a lasting literati preference for imperial restoration and unified rule.Hilde De Weerdt makes an important intervention in cultural and intellectual history by examining censorship and publicity together. In addition, she reorients the debate about the social transformation and local turn of imperial Chinese elites by treating the formation of localist strategies and empire-focused political identities as parallel rather than opposite trends."

Book Synopsis An Account of the Kingdom of Nepal by : Francis Hamilton
Download or read book An Account of the Kingdom of Nepal written by Francis Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1819 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Hamilton Buchanan (1762-1829) was a Scottish-born explorer, naturalist, and physician, employed by the British East India Company in a number of capacities from 1794 to 1815. He conducted surveys of Mysore in 1800 and Bengal in 1807-14. This work, published after his return to Scotland, is based on his 14-month stay in Nepal in 1802-03. Buchanan drew upon his own observations and conversations with hereditary chiefs, Buddhist priests, scribes, and others in an attempt to provide a comprehensive account of the country as he found it before the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16. Buchanan also drew from an earlier work by Colonel William Fitzpatrick, An Account of the Kingdom of Nepaul, published in London in 1811. In addition to maps and engravings, Buchanan's book includes two noteworthy scientific supplements: a register of the weather from February 1802 to March 1803 and an attempt by Buchanan's colleague, Colonel Crawford, to calculate the height of several Himalayan peaks.
Book Synopsis Territorial Dominion by : Apostle Joshua Selman
Download or read book Territorial Dominion written by Apostle Joshua Selman and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important for us as believers to understand that there is a territorial dimension to kingdom advance. Kingdom advance generally speaks of extending the influence and the reign of the Christ.When Prophet Isaiah received the Messianic prophecy that talked about Christ, it was said in that prophecy that of the increase of his government and his peace, there will be no end. This means that of the increase of the continual advancement and expansion of Christ, His purposes and the peace that comes in that kingdom, there shall be no end. So this is a kingdom that grows. He says, "I will build my church and the gate of hell will not prevail over it". I know that looking at the society right now, it looks like the church is not growing and that the purpose of Christ is not advancing. I want you to know that the church is growing and the purposes of Christ is advancing. The Bible declares that it is God's desire that the Lordship of Christ be established, first of all in the heart of men and then across territories. So kingdom advancement is in two folds- the establishment of the purposes of Christ first of all in the hearts of men and then across territories. This means that it is not enough that individuals be saved/come under the governing influence of Christ. It is time to start taking cities. The Bible says, in the book of Acts, that these are they that have turned the world upside down. The story of revival as we read from the scripture and then in modern history talks about men and women who (according to Hebrews 11) subdued kingdoms. He said ask of me for the earthen, I will give them to you for your inheritance. It is time for us take systems, structures, nations and bring them under the Lordship of Christ. This is one of the ways the kingdom will advance.
Book Synopsis The Land of the Elephant Kings by : Paul J. Kosmin
Download or read book The Land of the Elephant Kings written by Paul J. Kosmin and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year The Seleucid Empire (311–64 BCE) was unlike anything the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds had seen. Stretching from present-day Bulgaria to Tajikistan—the bulk of Alexander the Great’s Asian conquests—the kingdom encompassed a territory of remarkable ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity; yet it did not include Macedonia, the ancestral homeland of the dynasty. The Land of the Elephant Kings investigates how the Seleucid kings, ruling over lands to which they had no historic claim, attempted to transform this territory into a coherent and meaningful space. “This engaging book appeals to the specialist and non-specialist alike. Kosmin has successfully brought together a number of disparate fields in a new and creative way that will cause a reevaluation of how the Seleucids have traditionally been studied.” —Jeffrey D. Lerner, American Historical Review “It is a useful and bright introduction to Seleucid ideology, history, and position in the ancient world.” —Jan P. Stronk, American Journal of Archaeology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is.

Book Synopsis Identity and Territory by : Eyal Ben-Eliyahu
Download or read book Identity and Territory written by Eyal Ben-Eliyahu and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, the relationship between Jews and their land has been a vibrant, much-debated topic within the Jewish world and in international political discourse. Identity and Territory explores how ancient conceptions of Israel—of both the land itself and its shifting frontiers and borders—have played a decisive role in forming national and religious identities across the millennia. Through the works of Second Temple period Jews and rabbinic literature, Eyal Ben-Eliyahu examines the role of territorial status, boundaries, mental maps, and holy sites, drawing comparisons to popular Jewish and Christian perceptions of space. Showing how space defines nationhood and how Jewish identity influences perceptions of space, Ben-Eliyahu uncovers varied understandings of the land that resonate with contemporary views of the relationship between territory and ideology.

Book Synopsis Nationalism and Territory by : George W. White
Download or read book Nationalism and Territory written by George W. White and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do nations come into conflict? What factors lead to the horrors of ethnic cleansing? This timely book offers clear-eyed answers to these questions by exploring how national identity is shaped by place, focusing especially on Serbia, Hungary, and Romania. Moving beyond studies of nationalism that consider only the economic and geostrategic value of territory, George W. White shows that the very core of national identity is intimately bound to specific places. Indeed, nations define themselves in terms of spaces that have historical, linguistic, and religious meaning, as Serbs have clearly demonstrated in Kosovo. These territories are concrete expressions of a nationAIs identity, both past and present. With his detailed analysis of the places that define national identity in Southeastern Europe, White convincingly shows why territorial disputes so often escalate into war.
Book Synopsis The Territory of Japan by : Kentaro Serita
Download or read book The Territory of Japan written by Kentaro Serita and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book carefully examines the legal and historical bases of the territory of Japan as a modern State from the Meiji period to 2002. A new preface summarizes key developments in the situation up through 2022. Japan’s current territory is stipulated by the Potsdam Declaration (1945) and the Treaty of Peace with Japan (1951); it includes the Northern Territories, the Senkaku Islands, and Takeshima. Japan has demanded the return of the Northern Territories, comprising the islands of Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and Habomai, which are occupied by Russia. China has claimed sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands, which are validly controlled by Japan; Japan has claimed sovereignty over Takeshima, which is occupied by the Republic of Korea. This book analyzes the current status of these territorial topics, drawing on historical documents and international legal precedent, and it suggests peaceful methods to address them. In discussing territorial land, sea, and air space, this work touches upon postwar concepts defining modern international law and relevant rules on these subjects—exclusive economic zones (EEZs), continental shelves, and air defense identification zones (ADIZs)—found in international treaties, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and related domestic laws.
