Exploring Thalamocortical Interactions provides readers with foundational knowledge needed to understand the cellular and circuit properties of thalamocortical networks, and then goes on to consider new ideas and hypotheses, some of which are quite speculative.

Without adequate protection and consideration from the state, women were left out of Zimbabwe's Fast Land Reform Programme at the turn of the century. Leaving them to fight for land in a murky, convoluted system will not address women's rights to it. Giving specific ethical and legal attention to women's rights and needs is the only way to guard against land and other resources begin co-opted by the privileged and those with the requisite social, financial and political capital.

Trent England, "Why We Must Defend the Electoral College "
English | ISBN: 1641771496 | 2020 | 40 pages | EPUB | 398 KB
Is the Electoral College "racist" and a "scam" as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims? Or was Alexander Hamilton right when he declared that "if it be not perfect, it is at least excellent"? In this Broadside, Trent England explains why we have the Electoral College, how it shapes American politics, and why preserving it is necessary to maintain our republican form of government. With an organized campaign trying to hijack the constitution's state-by-state system in favor of a direct election, now is the time for Americans to come to the defense of the Electoral College.

Wallace J. Thies, "Why Containment Works: Power, Proliferation, and Preventive War "
English | ISBN: 150174948X | 2020 | 240 pages | EPUB | 625 KB
Why Containment Works examines the conduct of American foreign policy during and after the Cold War through the lens of applied policy analysis. Wallace J. Thies argues that the Bush Doctrine after 2002 was a theory of victory―a coherent strategic view that tells a state how best to transform scarce resources into useful military assets, and how to employ those assets in conflicts. He contrasts prescriptions derived from the Bush Doctrine with an alternative theory of victory, one based on containment and deterrence, which US presidents employed for much of the Cold War period. There are, he suggests, multiple reasons for believing that containment was working well against Saddam Hussein's Iraq after the first Gulf War and that there was no need to invade Iraq in 2003.

Christian Lo, "When politics meets bureaucracy: Rules, norms, conformity and cheating "
English | ISBN: 1526136686 | 2021 | 208 pages | EPUB | 395 KB
This book follows the perspectives of high-level municipal bureaucrats and local politician through a wide range of policy processes in two small Norwegian municipalities. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the book offers a novel perspective on central themes from the governance literature. Most of all, the ethnographic accounts of political and administrative practices are used to demonstrate how processes of hierarchical government and broader processes of governance become inextricably intertwined during policy processes, and how horizontal alignments can modify the hierarchal logic of bureaucratic structures. Lo draws on perspectives from political science, sociology and anthropology to understand the cultural and historical conditions that inform this intertwinement. This broad approach makes the book relevant for a wide audience of students and scholars interested in the inner workings of bureaucratic organisations.

For twenty-six years, civil war tore Sri Lanka apart. Despite numerous peace talks, cease-fires, and external military and diplomatic pressure, war raged on between the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Sinhala-dominated Sri Lankan government. Then, in 2009, the Sri Lankan military defeated the insurgents. The win was unequivocal, but the terms of victory were not. The first successful counterinsurgency campaign of the twenty-first century left the world with many questions. How did Sri Lanka ultimately win this seemingly intractable war? Will other nations facing insurgencies be able to adopt Sri Lanka's methods without encountering accusations of human rights violations?

English | 2004 | ISBN: 0415945798, 041594578X | EPUB | pages: 344 | 1.2 mb
Nadasen has written the definitive history of the welfare rights movement that, for a brief moment, turned welfare into a program that helped rather than punished poor women. Carefully researched and fully documented, Welfare Warriors reveals the largely untold story of how poor and working class women came together to fight for a decent life. By exploring the working class black feminism that emerged, Nadasen's account also broadens and deepens our understanding of feminism."

Harald MГјller, "WMD Arms Control in the Middle East: Prospects, Obstacles and Options "
English | ISBN: 1472435931 | 2015 | 358 pages | EPUB | 802 KB
The Middle East is a hot spot of proliferation. It contains one state assumed to possess nuclear weapons, several states that tried and failed to develop a military nuclear capability, one state under suspicion of trying to do so, and it is the world region that witnessed the most frequent and severe employment of chemical weapons since the end of World War I. Notwithstanding, not a single arms control regime concerning weapons of mass destruction (WMD) covers the region as a whole. Instead we have seen several proliferation-related military operations which have rather contributed to destabilization than served non-proliferation. This volume, written under the auspices of the EU Consortium for Non-Proliferation and Disarmament determines the current state of diplomatic efforts to establish a WMD free zone in the Middle East. In doing so, it provides insights into central actors' conflicting political positions, thereby explaining the stalemate of efforts to negotiate a WMD-free zone. Chapters written by renowned experts from academia and policy-oriented think tanks, as well as by next-generation Middle East and arms control experts, introduce the subject to the reader, give background information about arms control initiatives, provide technical expertise, and endeavour to make proposals for arms control measures in support of the creation of a Middle East WMD-free zone.
