Islam and Modernity

Islam and Modernity

The relationship between Islam and modernity has generated and rich but complex literature. While competing accounts sometimes appear incommensurable there is at least some convergence on the view that Islam and modernity reflect an unsettled encounter. For some this is self-evident because the relationship rests on contested foundational questions not least: whose modernity and which Islam? For others it is a less a theoretical and more a historical issue in so far as there has been a process underway in which Islam has proved slow in ‘catching up’. This Major Work gives space to an evolving conversation between Islam and four component parts of modernity. It has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context.

The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

The development of civil aviation in the early 20th century presented a range of new legal and regulatory challenges concerning the rights of an aircraft from one state to enter the aerial territory of another. International flights threatened the territorial integrity of nation states and prompted politicians to draw up new aerial legislation and regulations to govern this new form of aerial movement. Whereas some states advocated free and open access to airspace and unrestricted aerial movement other nations pursued a more protectionist stance based on regulation and reciprocal access arrangements. Technological developments in aircraft design and performance combined with changing global political relations and the introduction of new forms of economic regulation have all fundamentally affected the development of air transport. | The International Library of Essays on Aviation Policy and Management: 6-Volume Set

Comparative Constitutional Law

Comparative Constitutional Law

Once a mere appendage to constitutional law proper research in comparative constitutional law has burgeoned in recent decades. Indeed a growing tendency towards international borrowing and harmonization has been marked in many jurisdictions (even tentatively the United States) but it has not been uncontroversial or uncontested. Now this new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Law series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help researchers and students navigate and make better sense of an abundance of scholarship in comparative constitutional law. The collection is made up of four volumes which bring together the best and most influential canonical and cutting-edge thinking. Topics include constitution-making and amendment; the different structural components of constitutional governance (such as the relationship of legislatures to courts and the effects of different methods of judicial oversight); the interaction of constitutional law with transnational sources of law; and theoretical and practical aspects of constitutional legitimacy. With a full index and thoughtful introductions newly written by the learned editor Comparative Constitutional Law traces the field's development and highlights the challenges for future explorations. The collection will be valued by legal scholars—as well as by political philosophers and theorists—as a vital and enduring resource.

Aphasia

Aphasia

Aphasia—from the Greek aphatos (‘speechless’)—describes impairments and disabilities in the use of language arising from for example strokes trauma tumours surgery or progressive brain deterioration. It includes problems with the expression and comprehension of language in speech reading writing and signing. Research in and around aphasia continues to flourish such that even for specialist aphasiologists it is extremely hard to keep up to date with developments. There is a real threat of laboratory-based human research neuropsychology computational-modelling research and brain-imaging studies proceeding in ignorance of each other. Indeed the sheer scale of the growth in cognitive neuroscience makes this collection especially timely and welcome; it permits ready access to the most influential and important works across the full breadth of the discipline. The materials gathered in Volume I include explorations of the foundations of aphasiology. The major works collected in the second volume examine theoretical developments while Volume III is organized around contemporary issues in aphasiology. The final volume makes sense of clinical issues such as recovery assessment and rehabilitation. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Aphasia is an essential work of reference. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and instructional resource.

Postcolonial Politics

Postcolonial Politics

The learned editors of this new four-volume collection from Routledge argue that—at its core—postcolonialism makes two substantial claims with corresponding research agendas and political implications. First that the emergence and functioning of the modern world cannot be truly understood and explained as if it originated in Europe and was then ‘exported’ to the non-West; such Eurocentric accounts must be interrogated and challenged. Second that since the humanities and social sciences developed in Europe as an attempt to make sense of Western developments the analytical tools and disciplinary formations by which we seek to explain and represent the world also need to be critically questioned and where necessary rethought. This timely new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Political Science series enables users to comprehend the scope and ambition of these claims and to make sense of the dizzying diversity of texts generated across different continents and in different languages and spanning numerous fields of intellectual and literary endeavour that constitute the formative and central works of Postcolonial Politics. The four volumes that make up the collection are edited by the directors of the Centre for Postcolonial Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and unite the expertise of three distinguished scholars who have produced a unique ‘mini library’ that is as diverse as its subject matter. Postcolonial Politics brings together foundational and cutting-edge essays and journal articles and it draws on sources from Africa Latin America and Asia as well as those in the Western world including some newly translated pieces. Fully indexed and with new introductions to each volume this collection will be welcomed by scholars other researchers and advanced students as an indispensable reference and pedagogic resource.
