Historical Dictionary of Multinational Peacekeeping By Terry M. Mays
2010 | 528 Pages | ISBN: 0810868083 | PDF | 10 MB
As long as there have been wars, there have been peace processes to settle them. In the 12th century BC, the Egyptians and Hittites concluded one of the earliest peace treaties still in existence. Peacekeeping as understood as a modern concept emerged out of the League of Nations after World War I. The League fielded many international military operations that were essentially deployments by the victorious Allied powers to oversee local plebiscites. Peacekeeping operations have evolved to become essential elements in most international attempts to guide belligerents through a peace process. Peacekeeping operations can be great examples of the international community cooperating to help settle a crisis.Historical Dictionary of Multinational Peacekeeping: Third Edition is a single source research guide for current and completed peacekeeping operations. With an extensive chronology; an introductory essay; an appendix with the mandates for three UN peacekeeping operations; a research oriented bibliography based on numerous categories of peacekeeping operations and issues related to peacekeeping; 32 photographs of UN, EU, and NATO peacekeeping operations; and over 500 cross referenced dictionary entries on peacekeeping operations, people, organizations, countries, and events associated with peacekeeping and brief descriptions of all currently fielded operations as well as those that have completed their missions dating back to the League of Nations in 1920.
Rick Wylie, "Higher Education and Regional Growth"
English | ISBN: 1786608316 | 2018 | 136 pages | EPUB | 180 KB
The specialisation, knowledge and innovation brought about by universities often play a key role in the economic success of cities and regions. Yet higher education is also increasingly regarded, in some European countries and regions, as an economic sector in itself, whereby the measure of success lies in the ability to attract international students and set up international partnerships. Universities need therefore to find successful strategies responding to global challenges and fitting local contexts.
Hidden in Plain Sight: Covert Criticism of the Medici in Renaissance Florence (Medieval Interventions) By James O. Ward
2019 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 1433134284 | PDF | 8 MB
Hidden in Plain Sight: Covert Criticism of the Medici in Renaissance Florence offers the first systematic study of an important and heretoforeinsufficiently-studied phenomenon in Renaissance Europe. Through a close examination of a widevariety of visual and textual materials, James O. Ward illuminates the means by which Florentine citizens―among them several of the most famous artists and writers of the time, such as Michelangelo,Machiavelli, and Vasari―managed, in an increasingly authoritarian political and cultural climate, to express their disaffection with the prevailing political and cultural status quo in relatively safe ways, while at the same time maintaining contact with those rulers whom they criticized, upon whom they often depended for their livelihoods. Ward's volume thus offers new and provocative interpretations of some of the most famous works of Italian Renaissance visual and textual culture―for example, Michelangelo's New Sacristy in Florence, Machiavelli's Prince, and Vasari's portrait of Lorenzo de' Medici―which have traditionally been viewed by scholars of the period as encomiastic celebrations of their patrons' power and prestige. The volume thus provides―besides its intimate view of power relations between some of Florence's most creative artists and writers and those they served―fresh perspectives on the important question of patron-artist relations during the period.Written in a style which is not too technical, the book is an ideal resource for specialists in Italian history, art history, literature, rhetoric, theatre studies, and the history of Italian academies, as well as a stimulating narrative for the educated general reader interested in the history of Florence, and its often fraught relations with its leading family, the Medici.

Hellenic Whispers: Modes of Greek Literary Influence in Seventeenth-Century French Drama (Medieval and Early Modern French Studies) By Susanna Phillippo
2013 | 577 Pages | ISBN: 3034308515 | PDF | 4 MB
Hellenic Whispers builds a picture of how Greek literature was received and reworked by the authors of seventeenth-century French tragedy. Using case studies, the author establishes a new methodology for exploring the variety of responses and creative processes involved in these encounters with classical Greek material. The book explores the complex interactions surrounding these adaptations of Greek dramatic material, involving the input of scribes, editors, translators and earlier authors, and asks the important question of what these dramatists conceived of themselves as doing. Focusing on a time and place where cultural predilections and a lack of linguistic training made engagement with the original Greek texts problematic, the book explores the creative role of intermediary sources, the build-up of chain reactions between sources and the cumulative processes of recreation involved in the genesis of seventeenth-century dramatic texts. The volume also goes on to explore wider questions relevant to the classical tradition and issues of 'source study' and reception.
