'This book provides a welcome, comprehensive, and clearly written analysis of the key directions of defence policy during the premiership of Tony Blair. It will enhance understanding of a policy area which acquired special significance due to the military operations undertaken by the British in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.' Paul Robinson, University of Ottawa,  Canada  '...a thorough examination of British defence policy under New Labour at a time when the ’war on terror’ approaches its second decade and the nature, role and utility of the UK military instrument is under intense scrutiny. Severe constraints on public finances will force difficult choices in defence policy that will benefit immeasurably from the clear analysis this book provides.' Nick Ritchie, University of Bradford, UK  '... invaluable for the expert audience... All of the twelve chapters are well-researched, strongly argued and informative. ... The Development of British Defence Policy is surely set to be a fixture on the reading lists of those studying British foreign policy, military strategy or British politics. Additionally, the contributions of Forster, Deakin and Haines are likely to be of interest to the more general reader.' British Politics and Policy at LSE blog

'Invisible Empire is a much needed antidote to the poverty of the mainstream political imagination concerning issues of racism in this country. Through a sensitivity to the political and cultural landscapes of East London, Georgina Wemyss dissects the intolerant tolerance of white liberals as well as the inability of British society to break from its imperial past and offer genuine belonging to its black and brown citizens.' - Les Back, Goldsmiths University of London, UK 
'This book provides a wonderfully readable analysis of the politics of multiculturalism within the framework of a particular place. The author's sustained critique of "the invisible empire" shaping the East End as a contrived tale of merchants and the spread of civilisation manages to bring to light layer upon layer of remarkable historical information along the way, right up to the present. Her methodical and innovative approach also shows those of us committed to breaking the default setting of white liberalism how to engage simultaneously with the local, the trans-local and the national. Here she demonstrates how, at each scale, public understanding of the "complex citizenship" of postcolonial settlers is diminished by careless ignorance and racism derived from decades of misinformation and hubris about Britain’s past.' - Vron Ware, The Open University, UK

'Markets are growing increasingly demanding in terms of social, environmental and labour standards, which poses a challenge to firms that are not prepared to ensure compliance. This book sheds light on how clustered firms respond to this challenge and outlines how public policy and insertion into global value chains affects their capacity to comply and compete.' Giovanna Ceglie, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Vienna  'Yes, there are many ways to improve the economic, social and environmental conditions around clusters, but most traditional approaches rely on piecemeal actions and on naÃ¯ve assumptions about the power of markets or the good intentions of well meaning businesses and governments.  This book is about upgrading the upgrading, presenting a comprehensive AND sustainable approach.' Antonio Vives, Former Manager, Sustainable Development, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and creator of the Inter-American Conferences on CSR  'This book brings to light how savvy actors have (or could) tweak the dynamics of tensions, conflicts and resistance to work in favor of social upgrading, instead of against it - one of the book's most refreshing and important contributions.' Judith Tendler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

'The idea of a framework for ’reasonable balancings’ of competing but not incompatible ways of stating, interpreting, and applying the principles of justice is probably Ville PÃ¤ivÃ¤nsalo's main, and most original, contribution to the ongoing discussion of Rawls's theory of justice. The reasonable balancing Ville PÃ¤ivÃ¤nsalo has in view is an ongoing project, subject to periodic adjustments and conducted by thoughtful persons. It is not a static, ’once for all’ thing. It is, in his account, a balancing that is "internal" (based on values and norms internal to Rawls’s own perspective), ’critical’ (taking account of and accommodating, so much as possible, persistent and well-conceived criticisms of Rawls’s theory), and "inclusive" (taking on board, in an integrated and principled fashion, many of Rawls’s proposals -- but quite consciously going beyond them).'

&ldquo;Nora Krug has created a beautiful visual memoir of a horrific time in history. A time that torments us to this day. Asking questions and searching for the truth, she will not turn away from the legacy of her family and her country. She asks the question of how any of us survive our family history. Ultimately, the only course is not to veil the answers.&rdquo; &mdash;Maira Kalman, author of&nbsp;Beloved Dog&nbsp;and&nbsp;My Favorite Things  &ldquo;Belonging&nbsp;is an astoundingly honest book that conducts a devastating&mdash;and irresistible&mdash;investigation into one family&rsquo;s struggle with the forces of history. I could not stop reading it, and when I was done, I could not stop thinking about it. By going so deeply into her family&rsquo;s history, Krug has in some ways written about us all.&rdquo; &mdash;Sebastian Junger, author of&nbsp;The Perfect Storm&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tribe  &ldquo;To belong to a place is not to be able to choose what it takes from you. &nbsp;But we can choose what we take from it. &nbsp;Nora Krug takes from her German homeland, and then gives to us, a sense of what it is like to be German today, and a guide to how a reckoning with the past can begin.&rdquo;&nbsp; &ndash;Tim Snyder, author of&nbsp;On Tyranny&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Road to Unfreedom  &ldquo;A page-turning scrapbook/collage of memory, meaning and accountability, Ms. Krug draws the reader through her family history with the directness of imagery, handwriting and, ultimately, a disquieting direness that has echoes in our American life, right now.&nbsp;Belonging&nbsp;is valuable, readable and, needless to say, highly recommended.&rdquo; &mdash;Chris Ware, author of&nbsp;Building Stories  &ldquo;As the Jewish heir of grandparents who themselves had to flee the upsurge of fascism in their German homelands, I found granddaughter Nora Krug&rsquo;s heartrending investigation of her own family&rsquo;s painstakingly occluded history through those years especially moving. But as an American living through these, our very own years of a seemingly inexorable drift into one&rsquo;s still not quite sure what, I found Krug&rsquo;s achingly realized graphic memoir downright unsettling, for what will our own grandchildren one day make of us and our own everyday compromises and failures to attend?&rdquo; &mdash;Lawrence Weschler, author, among others, of&nbsp;Calamities of Exile&nbsp;and&nbsp;A Miracle, A Universe: Settling Accounts with Torturers "Belonging&nbsp;is a&nbsp;heart wrenching, suspenseful and fascinating odyssey that straddles, and seeks to uncover, an uncharted, inaccessible, unfathomable past.&nbsp;It is a kaleidoscope of interrupted&nbsp;lives, leading inexorably to its ultimate conclusion. I couldn&#39;t stop reading it." &mdash;Hava Beller, writer and director of&nbsp;The Restless Conscience
