This book expands our understanding of the so-far-overlooked territorial dimension of the EU’s knowledge policies crossing policy area boundaries.It examines…
how EU regional policy, endowed with substantial financial resources, influences the comparatively weakly endowed EU higher education policy. The analysis finds that (sub)national actors not only implement EU regional policy instruments but also actively shape EU policies. By showing this co-shaping transcends policy fields, the book provides new insights into the (feedback) effects of EU-funded cross-border cooperation. It shows that regionalization endeavours are political projects of regional and EU decision-makers, which remain exposed to Europeanization processes in the long term.This book is of key interest to scholars and students of European policymaking, EU integration, EU regional policies, EU public policy courses and more broadly to geography/development, social policy, governance and education policies.

imprisonment, of members of organised criminal groups. Organised crime poses particular challenges to the criminal justice system. While much of the attention of policy-makers, legislators, law enforcement, and the media is on criminalisation and investigation, much less attention, including academic analysis, has been devoted to the unique problems posed by organised crime to criminal procedure and to the prison system. This book gives particular attention to the role and powers of prosecutors and the judiciary, measures relating to criminal proceedings, international cooperation, sentencing, and the situations in prisons. The book is intended to be a valuable guide for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of organised crime, international criminal justice, criminal procedures, and prisons.

Isaiah Berlin is well known as a defender of liberal democracy in the Cold War. In this path-breaking study, George…
Crowder argues that Berlin’s ideas have application beyond their original context to the problems of our own time.Focusing on three central themes – liberty, identity, and value pluralism – Crowder presents a fresh interpretation of Berlin, exposing the misunderstandings of critics, especially those who ignore Berlin’s pluralist foundation. Although genuine problems remain, these can be alleviated by revising and extending Berlin’s view to construct an updated liberal pluralism. Together with Berlin’s own arguments, liberal pluralism is then brought to bear on a range of current concerns, including neoliberalism, identity politics, populism, international relations, religion, feminism, climate change, and global pandemics. The resulting outlook is complex, realistic, humane, and positive.Isaiah Berlin in the Twenty-First Century represents a new departure in the study of Berlin, value pluralism, and liberal thought more generally. It is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in these fields, but its wide range will appeal to anyone interested in the values and politics of our troubled times.

Buddhist Hermits in Eastern Tibet explores the ritual and social empowerment of Buddhist monastics devoted to meditation under a charismatic…
master. Based on ethnographic research at a remote hermitage in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai province in China, this book examines contemplative practices and ascetic regimes as performances of renunciation, self-formation, and devotion, arguing that the master performs the ideal of Buddhist asceticism via his body and in front of a participant audience. Paralleling Tibet’s famed hermit Milarepa (eleventh/twelfth century), the ascetic master Tsultrim Tarchin is believed to have achieved liberation “in this body and life,” demonstrating that renunciation can be empowering and that elite practices and local tradition can be relatable to untrained laity and transnational practitioners alike. Providing new insights and capturing a vital aspect of the ethno-religious revival among Tibetans in China, this book enhances our understanding of Buddhist meditation in retreat and of the social and embodied dimensions of spiritual liberation. This book will be of interest to academic researchers and students of Buddhism, Religion, Anthropology, and Asian Studies.

The Eighteenth Brumaire in the United States, Germany, and France, 1852–1933 is the first extended political history of Karl Marx’s…
seminal text.Written largely in an engaging narrative form that centers political actors engaging with the text, the book uses published and archival sources to reconstruct the contexts of editions in three languages over eight decades. Stark begins with a new interpretation of the origins of the Brumaire in a context of arguments among revolutionaries in exile, then surveys the main features of its republication in Germany and initial reception (1860–870), its uptake by socialists in Germany and France (1872–892), its status in Germany, France, and the United States before the First World War, and its fate in the Weimar Republic (1918–933).Convincingly proving that the history of the Eighteenth Brumaire should matter for our understanding of Marx today, this book will be fresh for specialists but accessible for diligent students and others without any special background.

Festas Juninas, as a lens for understanding the ongoing negotiations of social and cultural boundaries in Cabo Verde.The book examines Kolá San Jon as a site of spatialization and creolization, processes that are closely linked to the colonial and postcolonial histories of the archipelago. Beginning with an examination of the concept of Creolidade as a dynamic and contested process, the book goes on to trace the historical connections between the islands of São Vicente and Santo Antão, exploring how these inter-island relationships have shaped the Kolá San Jon tradition. It analyzes the construction of identity and sense of belonging through drumming and dance, and considers processional performances as key moments of spatial and social organization. Through the concept of ritual failure, the book reflects on the fragility and contested nature of these practices.Bringing together the interdisciplinary fields of ethnomusicology, postcolonialism, and spatial politics, Cabo Verdean Rhythms offers novel perspectives for understanding the nexus of sound, space, and identity, which will be of interest to both researchers and postgraduate students.

This groundbreaking study examines the cultural manifestations of envy in China during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, a period of…
unprecedented economic and social change.China’s rapid accumulation of wealth – particularly its uneven distribution, which created overnight millionaires alongside those left behind – provides anthropologists with a unique opportunity to test theories of envy as a fundamental human emotion. Unlike traditional societies, where established cultural mechanisms such as witchcraft, sorcery or the ‘evil eye’ help to manage envy, China offers a unique case study. Based on extensive fieldwork in northern Chinese villages between 2006 and 2008, the author explores how sudden mining wealth has triggered various envy-related discourses and practices and reveals how these wealth disparities have reshaped social dynamics and moral landscapes. The study examines cultural expressions of envy, public discourses of malicious envy, the everyday contexts that shape envy and its social impact, the moral codes that govern the envied and their defensive strategies, and how families understand the ethics of success and failure. Through this lens, she illuminates a local moral world amidst one of humanity's most profound social transformations.This book will be an essential reference for anthropologists, sociologists, scholars and students of contemporary Chinese society, ethnography and the anthropology of emotions.
