Dialectic and Narrative

’In this lucid re-evaluation of China’s naval modernization and its quest for regional hegemony, Yves-Heng Lim convincingly explores the subject through the offensive realist perspective. Lim combines both theory and Chinese sources to explain unequivocally the larger issues of China’s expanding power, regional hegemonic ambitions, geopolitical realities of Asia and the unfolding power transitions between the United States and China. What makes this work unique is that it situates the recent events of South China Sea, East China Sea and the Korean Peninsula in the overall neo-realist perspective and reflects on the possible naval operational disposition of China in tackling these maritime issues.’  Srikanth Kondapalli, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India  ’In this important and provocative study, Yves-Heng Lim raises troubling questions about the geostrategic rationales behind China's growing naval prowess. Lim's deft use of authoritative and eye-opening Chinese-language sources lends substantial credibility to his sobering assessment. For scholars and strategists looking for an unvarnished interpretation of China's ascent at sea, this is the book they've been waiting for.’ Toshi Yoshihara, Naval War College, USA  'Yves-Heng Lim’s work has the undeniable merit of illustrating to the reader the profound linkage between the modernization of Chinese armed forces and the scenario of a potential hegemonic war against the U.S., thus challenging a sort of popular wisdom that concerns the avoidability of a military conflict between such highly interdependent actors. Consequently, it is surely recommended to those academics and scholars - already familiar with liberal, constructivist and traditional realist perspectives on China’s rise - who seeks a challenging testing ground for a peculiar offensive realist framework of analysis, thanks also to a personal reappraisal made by the author of several classic theoretic assumptions, as for the prominence of naval p

'Oriola's text is a must read for the public. ...' African Studies Quarterly  ’This book effectively combines the best of conceptual innovation with empirical rigour in providing a critical exposition of the dynamics and ramifications of oil-related violence, focusing on kidnapping in the Niger Delta. ...rich, refreshingly new and superb scholarship...a must-read for all those keen on gaining deeper insights into the complex political ecology of one of Africa's most sophisticated insurgencies...’ Cyril Obi, Social Science Research Council (SSRC), USA  ’Criminal Resistance? uses kidnapping to unravel the complex interfaces between state character and politics, marginality, communalism, political geography and poverty to show how they underpin and explain the success of MEND. It is well written and makes contributions to the overall understanding of the motivation, leadership, organization, and engagement methods of insurgencies, and particularly the dynamics and trajectories of economic opportunism in conflicts in resource rich regions.'

In fact, rarely has a book about the anthropology of environmental management packed more data into so little space.' - The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

Prizewinner: Joint winner of the Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly Book Prize 2013, awarded by The Research Society for Victorian Periodicals  'Shakespeare, [Maginn] commented, recreates for us the wonderful court of princes, beggars, judges, swindlers, heroes, bullies, gentlemen, scoundrels, justices, thieves, knights tapsters and the rest whom he drew about him, and this is what David Latane, in the teeth of considerable difficulty, has done for Maginn’s world.'  Times Literary Supplement  '... What this biography does achieve is to piece together, at times ingeniously, the fragmented and wayward life of a unique man of letters.' Library and Information History  '... Latané's book thus makes an unusually valuable contribution to modern scholarship on early-nineteenth-century British periodical culture. ... with its wealth of literary and political details and anecdotes, this is a book that belongs in the library of any scholar interested in Blackwood's, Fraser's, and nineteenth-century British periodicals in general.'  NBOL19  ’Latané’s study does a fine job of balancing a careful assessment of Maginn’s excesses with an appreciation of his immense productivity. Latané has offered an extraordinary picture of the bustling world of literary London that[...] runs against the grain of Romantic stereotypes of creative genius.’ BARS Review  '[The book] is a significant study of the dilemma of working with words that has troubled writers, authors, editors, publishers and scholars from the nineteenth century to the present day. ... a pleasure to read. Always clear and well-crafted, the prose is often enhanced with unexpectedly apt turns of phrase ...' Victorians Institute Journal
