“The book relates to literature on international relations and the role of emerging powers in global governance. … The book offers a contribution to the literature on global governance in the issue areas of health, food safety and bioenergy in general, and about Brazil’s foreign relations in these particular sectors. … The author develops a clear and coherent analytical framework, which is consistently applied in each sector analysed, offering thus an overall well structured book, which is reader friendly.” (Renata Campos Motta, American and Caribbean Studies, Revista Europea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe, Issue 104, July-December, 2017)

Health, Food Security and Bioenergy

Brazil's Emerging Role in Global Governance

'What is really meant by 'development'? This question faces new light with Eunice Sahle's pathbreaking contribution to international studies. In unpacking the 'transnational development historical bloc' of the post-1945 era, she combines insights from critical race, postcolonial and feminist theorizations with the best of Antonio Gramsci. The result is a lucid analysis and critique, where the realities of the global South are not merely 'integrated' but frame the analysis. All serious critical scholars will want, and need, to read this book.' - Abigail B. Bakan, Professor of Political Studies, Queen's University, Canada

'World Orders, Development and Transformation proves without a doubt that the debate over international development is as vital as ever before. If its theoretical breadth is impressive, the empirical content is no less commanding: showing that this is the result of the careful and solid work of one of the most experienced development thinkers of our time. The analysis of the current conjuncture is simply brilliant, in the best traditions of international political economy. It shows, above all, how the growing securitization of development in the neo-liberal and war on terror age extends its pervasive arms even into the allegedly benign strategies of the Millennium Development Goals. The result of this 'securitization' is, of course growing human and ecological insecurity. Besides being a primer in IPE, World Orders, Development and Transformation renews the International Development Studies field like no other book I know in the past two decades. It should be read and discussed widely by scholars and students in all the social sciences and humanities fields who are concerned with the fate of a world undergoing fast global integration in very troubling ways.' Arturo Escobar, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, author of Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World

'Through the lens of Gramscian critical theory and Quijano's coloniality of power approach, Prof Sahle's exceptional book tackles core debates in development studies, international political economy, security studies and social movement studies. Her discussion of the role of the state and development in Malawi and South Korea, global governance, and the evolution of post-1945 development discourse takes us beyond standard strategies found in the mainstream literature. This book fits well within the finest work from Africa's critical intellectual tradition:
Rodney, Cabral, Fanon, Amin, Ake, Olukoshi, Mhone, Leys, and the like.' - Patrick Bond, Professor and Director of the Centre for Civil Society, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa

World Orders, Development and Transformation

Thinking Skills and Early Childhood Education

A very welcome contribution testing the impact of health care decentralisation on health policies, accountability and citizens' satisfaction. This book makes clear that political infra-state devolution not only promotes and encourages emulation between jurisdictions but that also, in the absence of fiscal responsibility in these states, impacts negatively on the public budgets of the countries examined.
-Guillem López-Casasnovas, Professor of Economics, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain
The pathbreaking chapters in this book are precise when existing accounts are vague, lucid when other accounts are confusing, and politically savvy throughout. The book is a major contribution to the comparative understanding of health, policy, and territorial politics in Europe

Post-Neoliberalism in the Americas

'Anthony Miller's elegant and learned study of the imaginative uses to which the ancient Roman triumph was put in early modern England is a major contribution both to the history of the classical tradition and to the political, cultural, and literary history of a crucial period in the formation of English nationhood. Particularly enjoyable is the deft analysis of the many, and often paradoxical, metamorphoses undergone by representations of triumph in the service of the various competing ideologies and belief-systems of the period.' - Philip Hardie FBA, University Reader in Latin Literature, University of Cambridge

'...always informative and thoroughly scholarly...Miller makes persuasive connections between political culture...and literary production.' - Richard Madelaine, Sixteenth Century Journal

'...an intelligent, original and historically grounded survey of the disparate ways early modern English culture reproduced the language of Roman triumphs.' - Kevin Curran, University College Dublin, UK, Early Modern Literary Studies

“In Therapy, Culture and Spirituality Nolan and West
bring together writings exploring the interconnectivity of culture, religion,
spirituality and ‘race’ in the context of therapeutic practice and research.
The book is a welcome addition to the increasing scholarly interest in
interrogating artificial dichotomies such as ‘nature’/‘culture’ and ‘objective’
science and medicine/‘subjective’ counselling and therapy in understanding and
working with human distress.” (Dr. Jayasree Kalathil, The Journal of Critical

“Patrick Duggan and Lisa Peschel’s Performing (for) Survival is an important contribution to the study of performance as a mechanism for survival. Its uniqueness lies in its choice to expose the internal workings of communities and politically-organised resistance movements in times of extreme crisis.” (Effie Samara, The Kelvingrove Review, Issue 16, June, 2017)

“This book undoubtedly makes a landmark contribution to the field of modern Japanese history. … Howland has succeeded in capturing the dynamics of the interactions between shifts in the world order and Japan’s diplomatic strategy, vividly depicting their impact on today’s international relations in East Asia and on international society. This book can inform and inspire not only Japanologists, but also scholars in international law, international politics, Asian studies, and history.” (Tomoko Okagaki, Social Science Japan Journal, Vol. 20 (2), August, 2017)

"Indispensable reading for anyone working at the fraught intersection of extractive industry and indigenous peoples." - Stuart Kirsch, University of Michigan, USA and author of Mining Capitalism

"Scrutinizing the intricate and complex politics of resource extraction involving indigenous communities, multinational corporations, and domestic and multilateral government institutions across the globe, this well-crafted edited volume brings together case studies from around the globe. Each narrative of indigenous struggles with extractive industries and state hegemonies featured in this collection tells a common and sad story of indigenous marginalization, disadvantage, and plight. The breadth and scope of this piece of work will not only provoke thought and stimulate insights but will spur indigenous activism. It is indeed a compelling read." - Alberto G. Gomes, La Trobe University, Australia

The Politics of Resource Extraction

“The diversity seen in figures, subject matter, and context also extends to sources, which include treatises, casuistries, sermons, letters, journals, and poems. Those working with rare books will be pleasantly surprised by tidbits on writing, publishing, and translating practices. … it should be read critically, with a sensitivity to possible future developments.” (Jenny-Lyn de Klerk, Evangelical Quarterly, Vol. 89 (4), 2018)“All of the essays in this volume adhere closely to puritan texts in their effort to prove the importance of happiness for puritans, and to reflect the concern of puritan writers that happiness should be properly understood. … All of the essays in this volume, and Narveson’s especially, merit attention not only by specialists in puritanism, but also by historians interested in puritanism’s place in the history of Christianity, and its contribution to the emergence of modern humanism and psychology.” (Amanda Porterfield, Church History, Vol. 86 (3), September, 2017)

Puritanism and Emotion in the Early Modern World

“Georgina Brewis’s study of volunteering by students in the long twentieth century is a very welcome, timely and engaging addition to both the history of education and the history of voluntary action. … Brewis’s book provides rich insight into the evolution of student volunteering over a long twentieth century, and into the shifts in British history more broadly; it deserves to be read by a wide range of historians, not just those interested in education or social policy.” (Kate Bradley, The English Historical Journal, Vol. 131 (553), December, 2016)“The book is clearly structured. The argument in each chapter is signposted with detailed headings and illustrated with well-chosen images. The book deserves to be widely read not only by historians of education and voluntary action but also by historians of politics and society in twentieth-century Britain. It will be of particular interest to historians of activism, gender, social policy and transnationalism, who will find that student volunteering is pertinent to the study of each of these fields.” (David Ellis, Twentieth Century British History, March, 2016)“This book is an important contribution to an emerging field focusing on students, the student experience and student actions. … Brewis has done an excellent job of searching out and using a variety of student sources and demonstrating how rich and useful they can be both for histories of students and for a wide variety of issues and phenomena across twentieth-century British history.” (Jodi Burkett, Cultural and Social History, February, 2016)“Georgina Brewis’s lively and thorough exploration of student volunteering is a particularly fresh contribution to our understanding of the history of higher education in Britain, focusing as it does on a range of activities that students undertook alongside, but largely independent of, their formal studies. … This is a book that is full of new material and insights. … This is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of higher education and its wider social impact.” (John Field, History of Education, Vol. 45 (6), 2016)“Georgina Brewis’ new book … makes an important contribution to the under-researched role of students in university history. … a highly detailed and engaging account of the hidden history of student volunteers and their activities in British universities. … Those interested in the history of women students will find A Social History of Student Volunteering a highly valuable text. … Brewis’ work is a perfect starting point from which cross-disciplinary work exploring student political and social engagement can be developed.” (Sarah Webster, Contemporary British History, Vol. 29 (4), 2015)  "Brewis' meticulous study of the history of student volunteering over a hundred-year period from the 1880s onwards does an awful lot to debunk the myth that the present day is an exceptional time for student volunteering. Focusing primarily, although not exclusively, on the experiences of student volunteering in the UK, the book explores different phases and practices of student volunteering and how this activity has developed in relationship to the expansion of higher education over the century. The book is structured chronologically and considers how different historical periods were associated with distinctive practices of student volunteering. The overarching theme of the book is that the history of student volunteering cannot be separated from the wider history of higher education, student experience and key social, political and economic events. The book will be of considerable interest to a range of scholars including historians of higher education and voluntarism but also to those working with student volunteers in the present day as it emphasises the need to locate student engagement within wider political and social debates and to understand how current practices are influenced by previous modes of engagement." - Voluntary Sector Review  "This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of voluntary action or the history of higher education. Georgina Brewis' book provides us with a huge amount of detail and creates a much 'thicker' history and nuanced understanding of student voluntarism. Researchers in this ?eld will be able to mine it for a wide range of useful information and insights. A very worthwhile read." - Economic History Review

“Modes of Governance and Revenue Flows in African Mining is not only timely, but a valuable addition to the field. … I find the book is a significant asset to the literature on African mining, revenue flows, and issues of development in Africa.” (Felix Kumah-Abiwu, African Studies Quarterly, Vol. 16 (1), December, 2015)"This book offers a richly detailed and timely analysis of contemporary debates about mineral governance and revenue flows in&nbsp;Africa. [...] Its incisive analysis of power and institutions in the mining sector make this a highly momentous contribution that will be appealing, interesting and useful for many readers for years to come." - Samuel J. Spiegel, The Extractive Industries and Society
