Human Rights in Asia:A Reassessment of the Asian Values Debate
Kingsbury., D and Avonius., L (2008)
HUMAN RIGHTS IN ASIA :A Reassessment of the Asian Values Debate, Abingdon;New York,Routledge.
This book offers a critical reassessment of the “Asian values” debate, which dominated
the human rights discourse in the late 1990s, and a reappraisal of the human rights
situation in Asia since then. In this book Asian and non-Asian scholars contextualize the “Asian values” debate and examine in what ways the issues raised then continue to trouble Asian societies.
Human rights are seen both in the context of political developments in individual Asian countries
as well as in relation to global issues such as the Global War on Terror. The book challenges
the reader to critically examine human rights rhetoric and practice both in Asia and globally.

Political Islam and Human Security
Mansouri, F. and Akbarzade, S. (eds.) (2008) Cambridge Scholars Publishing, London, pp.312.
In the wake of the September 11 and subsequent terrorist attacks, the academic and media commentaries on Islam the religion and Islam the basis for political ideology has received an unprecedented high level of exposure and attention. The acts of political violence by extremist groups and the omnipresent war on terror have added fresh uncertainties to an already complex global order. Just as terrorism and counter-terrorism are locked in a mutually re-enforcing symbiosis, the sense of insecurity felt by Muslims and non-Muslims alike is mutually dependent and has the potential to escalate. This general assessment holds true for Muslims living in the Muslim world and beyond. The pervasive sense of being under attack physically and culturally by the United States and its allies has contributed to a growing unease among Muslims and re-enforced deep-seated mistrust of the ‘West’. Public articulation of such misgivings has in turn, lent credence to Western observers who posit an inherent antipathy between the West and the Muslim world. The subsequent policies that have emerged in this context of fear and mutual distrust have contributed to the vicious cycle of insecurity. The present volume is anchored in the current debates on the uneasy and potentially mutually destructive relationship between the Muslim world and certain West countries. It brings together leading international scholars in this interdisciplinary field to deal with such inter-related questions as the nature of Islamism, the impact of the ‘war on terror’ on the spread of militancy, the growing sense of being under siege by Muslim Diasporas and the many unintended ramifications of a security-minded world order. This second volume deliberately focuses on these issues both at a broad theoretical level but more importantly in the form of a number of prominent case studies including Indonesia, Algeria and Turkey.
International Development: Issues and Challenges, Palgrave MacMillan, NY
Kingsbury D, McKay J, Hunt J, McGillivray M, Clarke M (2008)
Institute members in association with their national and international colleagues have
recently produced International Development: Issues and Challenges. This publication
essentially updates the 2004 publication Key Issues in Development to which most
members of the author team contributed. The current publication canvasses the various
aspects of development and while retaining the traditional notion that it means the material
advancement of people, it also embraces the notion of empowerment. i.e. ‘development’
incorporates processes by which people and states of the non-industrialised world attempt
to improve both their material and social conditions of life. In applying their knowledge
to this work, the authors have drawn upon their collective expertise gained in the field in
developing states, in the course of their research related activities. This work projects as a
good example of the indirect benefit that arises from research pursued by members of the
Institute.

Federalism in Asia
Baogang He, Brian Galligan, Takeshi Inoguchi (eds). 2007,
Federalism in Asia . Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar.
Explores the range of theoretical perspectives that shape
debates over federalism in general, and over territorial,
multinational, hybrid, and asymmetric federalism in particular
relation to Asia. This book is suitable for scholars and
researchers who work on issues of federalism, political economy,
public policy, and ethnic relations. The contributors share their
understanding of how federal or quasi-federal institutions
manage ethnic confl icts and accommodate differences, how
democratization facilitates the development of federalism and
how federalism facilitates or inhibits democratization in Asia.

Rural democracy in China : the role of the
village elections
Baogang He, 2007. New York: Palgrave Macmillan.
This book examines the status of village democracy, studies
the achievements and the problems, explains its dynamics,
and investigates the prospects of China’s democratization. It
challenges the skeptics with a nuanced assessment of village
democracy in its variety and diversity. It develops an understanding
of how three key factors – township, economy and kinship—
shape village democracy and account for the variations of rural
democracy. The extension of village to township elections has
been examined and an idea of mixed regime being formulated
with an examination of its key features and implications
for our understanding of political development in China.
Vientiane: Transformations of a Lao Landscape
Askew,M., W., Logan and C.,Long (2007), Routledge, London, pp.288.
Providing insights into this
neglected Southeast Asian city, this interesting book interprets Vientiane’s
landscape - physical as well as imagined - as a reflection of key aspects
of Lao geo-political history, the nature of Lao urbanism, and its critical
relation to constructions of Lao identity in the contemporary period. It
is argued that the patterns of change seen through Vientiane’s past
embody the key political and economic processes and transformations impacting
on the people of Laos. The Lao urban past has rarely been an object of attention by scholars. Laos,
in fact, is continually portrayed as a rural backwater, marginal to the dynamic
trends affecting most of the Southeast Asian mainland. In contrast to these
persistent and static portrayals of Laos as a tiny landlocked backwater, with
no significant urban present or past, the authors aim to document, explain
and evaluate the significance of the Lao urban landscape. Focusing
on the theme of Vientiane’s ‘marginality’ in
its various forms, the book interprets this apparent marginality as an historically-produced
phenomenon resulting from geo-politics dating from the pre-colonial period
and extending into the post-colonial period. Drawing on a wide range of research
materials, Vientiane is the first work of its kind on this ignored city.
This
is the most comprehensive study of East Timor since independence, examining
the major themes of development, borders and security, politics and justice,
resource and land management, education, and language policy. Though the
country was initially lauded as a case study in successful state-building,
the crisis of 2006 demonstrated that East Timor had more in common with other
post-colonial, post-conflict societies than some of these earlier optimistic
assessments suggested. East Timor continues to attract the interest
and attention of governments, scholars, development institutions and aid
workers as a society rebuilding itself after almost a quarter of a century
of profound trauma, and consecutive eras of colonialism. Covering the
era from the independence referendum in August 1999 to the political crisis
in 2006, and future prospects and challenges, this book is an invaluable
resource for understanding the challenges facing the first new nation of
the 21st century.
Class Act: Melbourne Workers Theatre 1987-2007
D’Cruz, G. (2007).(ed). Vulgar Press, Melbourne.
With a few notable exceptions, middle-class themes and middle-class personnel
dominate professional theatre in Australia. Melbourne Workers Theatre (MWT),
which celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2007, has redressed this imbalance
by creating high quality theatre that represents the lives of the most disadvantaged
members of our community. In short, the company has made a major contribution
to Australian theatre culture by giving voice to marginalised Melburnians including
people from impoverished backgrounds, indigenous communities, various migrant
groups and persecuted minorities like asylum seekers. Class
Act celebrates the Company’s
artistic achievements and successes over the last two decades through interviews,
essays and high quality images
of key productions. It recounts its history, its evolving relationship with
the embattled trade union movement, and its on-going engagement with working
class, indigenous and migrant communities. Class
Act is more than a history of a theatre company. It documents a particularly
turbulent period in Melbourne’s history that witnessed consistent attacks
on trade unions, asylum seekers, aboriginal and working class people by state
and federal governments, and the forces of globalisation. In an era when the
very concept of ‘class’ has been discredited, Melbourne Workers
Theatre remains committed to principles of social justice and revels in using
theatre as a form of political activism and protest.

Globalisation and Citizenship: The Transnational Challenge.
Slaughter S and W Hudson (eds.) (2007). Routledge, London.
This wide-ranging volume explores the impact of globalisation upon citizenship,
with a special focus on the transnational challenges that globalisation poses. While there is much debate over the concept, globalisation implies at least
two distinct phenomena. First, it suggests that political, economic and social
activities are becoming increasingly inter-regional or intercontinental in
scope. Secondly, it suggests that there has been an intensification of levels
of interaction and interconnectedness between states and societies. Citizenship,
as one of the foundational concepts of the modern liberal democratic states,
provides the normative framework within which globalisation debates may be
understood and evaluated. It also examines how different concepts, theories
and practices of citizenship are evolving in response to globalisation. Central
questions explored in this text are:
• How does globalisation challenge
traditional conceptions of citizenship in specific respects?
• How is globalisation creating new citizenships or new civil society spaces?
• How is transnational citizenship developing and what problems are associated with it in specific areas?
Discussing the theoretical and practical prospects for new forms of liberal, republican and cosmopolitan citizenship, Globalisation and Citizenship will appeal to students and scholars in the fields of international relations, globalisation, sociology and political science.
Islam and Political Violence: Muslim Diaspora and Radicalism in the West
Akbarzadeh, S. and F., Mansouri (eds)(2007) Library of International Relations, vol.34, Tauris Academic Studies/Palgrave Macmillan (London/ New York)
How do we engage with the pressing challenges of xenophobia, radicalism and security
in the age of the ‘war on terror’? The widely felt sense of insecurity
in the West is shared by Muslims both within and outside Western societies.
Growing Islamic militancy and resulting increased security measures by Western
powers have contributed to a pervasive sense among Muslims of being under
attack (both physically and culturally). Islam and Political Violence brings
together the current debate on the uneasy and potentially mutually destructive
relationship between the Muslim world and the West and argues we are on a
dangerous trajectory, strengthening dichotomous notions of the divide between
the West and the Muslim world.
Caring about Health
Van Hooft, S. (2006), Ashgate Publishing Limited, England, pp.226.
Explores such concepts as caring, health, disease, suffering and pain from
a phenomenological perspective. This book draws out ethical demands that arise
when one encounters these phenomena and the forms of ethical education that
help respond to those demands. It explores the grounds for ethical living rather
than enunciating ethical principles.
Developing Communities for the Future: Community Development in Australia
Kenny, S. (2006) Thompson, Melbourne, pp.416.
As a comprehensive introduction to community development, this text provides
excellent theoretical foundations to understanding the nature of community
development, and integrates theoretical insights with practical issues through
the use of case studies. Notable for addressing contemporary issues, Developing
Communities for the Future addresses continuities and changes in community
development, trends, and major issues in a social, intellectual and political
context. Current and up-to-date the third edition of this text reflects
the current changes and community developments in Australia. With an abundance
of practical and up to the minute case studies and exercises this text helps
to engage students by linking practical real-world examples to comprehensive
theoretical explanations.
Diaspora Criticism
Mishra, S. (2006) Edinburgh University Press, pp.200.
The first introduction to the field of Diaspora criticism that serves both as
a timely guide and a rigorous critique. Diaspora criticism takes the concept ‘diaspora’ as
its object of inquiry and provides a framework for discussing displaced communities
in a way that takes contemporary social, cultural and economic pressures
into account. It also offers an alternative to Postcolonial Studies. This
book is the first to provide an accessible overview of the critical trends
in Diaspora criticism and to critically evaluate the major Diaspora critics
and their models, with the aim of adding to the debate on methodology. This
authoritative account will be of interest to those working in Diaspora Studies
and its related fields of History, Literature, Art, Sociology, population
and Migration Studies, Politics, and Ethnic and Postcolonial Studies.
Gender-Based Violence in the Western Pacific Region: A Hidden Epidemic?
Eckermann, E. (ed) (2006) World Health Organization, Switzerland. pp.144.
In 1996, the World Health Assembly declared violence “a leading worldwide
public health problem” and Murray and Lopez reported that the global
burden of injury from violence falls disproportionately on females of all ages.
It is this nexus between violence as a key health issue and as a gender issue
that is explored in this publication. This publication was put together
to showcase some of the important epidemiological and evaluation research on
the topic that is being conducted in other parts
of the Region. The three studies contained in this volume provide complementary
data for the Western Pacific Region to support the mission of a multi-country
study. The first two studies provide much needed epidemiological data on two
aspects of gender-based violence in China, self-directed violence and intimate
partner abuse. The third provides a comprehensive evaluation of services for
abused women in the Philippines.
Haunting the Knowledge Economy
Kenway, J., Bullen, E., Fahey, J. and Robb, S. (2006) Routledge, Abingdon, UK/New York, USA, pp.153.
Haunting the Knowledge Economy provokes ‘conversations’ between
the knowledge economy and those marginalised economies that haunt it: the risk,
gift, libidinal and survival economies. These illuminate the knowledge economy’s
shortcomings and point to alternative possible systems of exchange and sets
of values. This multi-discciplinary study takes the knowledge economy out of
the hands of economists and brings it into creative tension with the ideas
of key thinkers from sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ecology.
The MacroMelbourne Initiative: Developing Strategic Responses to Disadvantage in Melbourne: Today and towards 2030
Hancock, L. and Horrocks, L. (2006) Melbourne Community Foundation, Australia pp.140.
The MacroMelbourne Initiative aims to provide a framework through which we
can understand issues of disadvantage, people and place in Melbourne, now and
into the future. It also aims to resource strategies and directions for action.
The purpose of the discussion paper is both to map current research around
disadvantage in Melbourne and Melbourne’s future, and to stimulate strategic
thinking on issues of disadvantage, people and place. It is aimed at a range
of audiences: it is to be given to a number of social policy think tanks both
in Australia and overseas, as a catalyst for their thinking on possible innovation
and advocacy ideas in a forward-thinking strategy to progress philanthropic
investment in positive change in Greater Melbourne. Along with their responses,
it will be used as a publication for MCF initiatives in 2006, aimed at progressing
philanthropic investment.
Midnight’s Orphans: Anglo-Indians in Post/Colonial Literatur
D’Cruz, G. (2006) Peter Lang, Bern, Switzerland, pp.265.
Anglo-Indians are the human legacy of European colonialism. These descendants of European
men and Indian women regularly appear as disconsolate and degenerate
figures in colonial and postcolonial literature, much to the chagrin of contemporary
Anglo-Indians. Many significant writers, such as Rudyard Kipling, Maud Diver,
John Masters, Salman Rushdie and Hari Kunzru, have created Anglo-Indian characters
to represent the complex racial, social and political currents of India’s
colonial past and postcolonial present. This book is the first detailed
study of Anglo-Indians in literature. Rather than simply dismissing the representation
of Anglo-Indians in literary texts
as offensive stereotypes, the book identifies the conditions for the emergence
of these stereotypes through close readings of key novels, such as Bhowani
Junction, Midnight’s Children and The Impressionist. It also examines
the work of contemporary Anglo-Indian writers such as Allan Sealy and Christopher
Cyrill. Presenting a persuasive argument against ‘image criticism’, the
book underscores the importance of contextualizing literary texts, and makes
a timely contribution to debates about ‘mixed race’ identities,
minoritarian literature and interculturalism.
Passionate Modernity. Sexualty, Class and Consumption in India
Srivastava, S. (2006) Routledge, New Delhi, India, pp.350.
Combining historical and ethnographic
analysis, this book deals with the making of the heterosexual imagination
from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present in the Indian
context. This unique book uses methods from anthropology, cultural
studies and history to explore the making of modern cultures of sexuality
in India. It provides an analysis of the sexual and domestic politics of
the period by focusing on the vast corpus of publications and journals on
sexology from the 1920s to the 1940s, and links Indian activities with those
in other parts of the world. The author analyzes material that has thus far
been outside the purview of scholarly studies, namely, ‘footpath pornography’,
magazines such as Sexology Mirror (in Hindi), women’s magazines dealing
explicitly with sex and sexuality.
Peace in Aceh: A Personal Account of the Helsinki Peace Process
Kingsbury, D. (2006) PT Equinox Publishing Indonesia, pp.236.
Following
nearly three decades of conflict and a series of failed ceasefire agreements,
on 15 August 2005, the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Government
of Indonesia reached an historic peace agreement to end the fighting and
to give Aceh a high degree of genuine autonomy. The catalyst for the talks
that produced this agreement was the devastating tsunami of 26 December
2004, which left almost 170,000 dead or missing in Aceh and destroyed most
of the populated low-lying areas. Despite the massive destruction, the
peace talks were conducted under an intensified military campaign. GAM
made a major concession to the talks by announcing early that it was prepared
to negotiate an outcome other than complete independence. The Indonesian
side, however, under pressure from the military and ?nationalists·in
Jakarta, pressed for GAM to accept a minor reworking of the status quo.
The international community, meanwhile, just pressed for a settlement.
In the end, the Indonesian government also compromised, and the two parties
reached an agreement that was intended to end the fighting and to address
many, if not all, of GAM? outstanding claims. Despite opposition to the
talks process, and to compromise, the outcome was increasingly seen both
in Jakarta and in Aceh as a ?in-win·situation, and as a further
significant step in Indonesia? continuing process of reform and democratisation.
Peace in Aceh offers an insider? personal account of that peace process
and is required reading for anyone wishing to understand this troubled
province.
South Pacific Museums: Experiments in Culture
Healy, C. and Witcomb, A. (2006), Monash University ePress, Australia, pp.23.
South Pacific Museums: Experiments in Culture, edited by Chris Healy and Andrea Witcomb,
is a collection of outstanding analyses of museums in the South Pacific,
written by an international team of cultural, museum and architectural critics,
and historians. A series of snapshots introduce the reader to key museums in
the region and longer essays explore these museums in broad terms. Over
the last 50 years, museums have been regarded by many scholars and cultural
critics as archaic institutions far from the cutting edge of cultural innovation.
This judgement is being proved wrong across the globe, with innovative museums
staking out new territory. Nowhere is this more striking than in the South
Pacific where new and redeveloped institutions have included the Museum of
New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of Australia, the Melbourne
Museum, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the Museum of Sydney, the
Gab Titui Cultural Centre in the Torres Strait, the Auckland Museum, the Centre
Culturel Tjibaou and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre. South Pacific Museums
make sense of these museums as part of the complex field of heritage, where
national economies meet global tourism, cities brand themselves,
and indigeneity articulates with colonialism. The effect is one of cultural
experimentation. Part One, ‘New Museums’, introduces three different
museums in distinctive national contexts - Te Papa, the Centre Culturel Tjibaou
and the National Museum of Australia. Essays in this part grapple with the
role of these museums in the nation at particular historical moments under
speci?c political pressures. Part Two, ‘New Knowledges’, documents
practices and exhibitions at the point of tension between indigenous and non-indigenous
interests in the museum. In Part Three, ‘New Experiences’, contributors
explore the ways in which museums in the South Pacific are producing that ineffable
cultural phenomenon - experience.
Understanding Virtue Ethics
Van Hooft, S. (2006), Acumen Publishing Limited, England. pp.184.
Philosophers have increasingly advocated a virtue-based ethics that challenges
traditional moral theories founded on moral obligation and delineation of
right or wrong in given situations. Stan van Hooft provides a broad overview
of the
history of virtue ethics from Aristotle to Nietzsche to the ideas of contemporary
writers Ricoeur and Levinas. He explores the major themes of moral theory
and shows how a virtue ethics approach differs from those of other traditions.
Van Hooft considers how morally complex practical problems, such as abortion,
euthanasia, and integrity in politics,
Australia and the Middle East: A front-line relationship
Mansouri, F (ed) ( 2006) Tauris Academic Studies, pp.216
Australia’s encounters with the Middle East have historically been defined initially
through its membership of the British Empire, later as a key Commonwealth
player and more recently through Australia's close strategic relationship
with the US. This book traces the nature of the Australia-Middle East relationship,
from an insular ‘White Australia’ ideology through to the global
impact of September 11th. A comprehensive analysis of this complex relationship
provides an essential basis for understanding past encounters, evaluating
present policies and developing a framework for future interactions. The
various authors seek to draw together the various dimensions and themes of
this relationship – from trade and migration, to Australia’s
increasing strategic interest and current military involvement in the region.
Development of Deliberative Democracy: A collection of the essays presented at the international conference on deliberative democracy and Chinese practice of participatory and deliberative institutions
He, B. and Shengyong, C. (2006), China’s Social Sciences Press, China, pp.478.
Political Islam and Human Security
Mansouri, F. and Akbarzade, S. (eds.) (2006) Cambridge Scholars Press, London, pp.280.
In the wake of the September 11 and subsequent terrorist attacks, the academic
and media commentaries on Islam the religion and Islam the basis for political
ideology has received an unprecedented high level of exposure and attention.
The acts of political violence by extremist groups and the omnipresent war
on terror have added fresh uncertainties to an already complex global order.
Just as terrorism and counter-terrorism are locked in a mutually re-enforcing
symbiosis, the sense of insecurity felt by Muslims and non-Muslims alike is
mutually dependent and has the potential to escalate. This general assessment
holds true for Muslims living in the Muslim world and beyond. The pervasive
sense of being under attack physically and culturally by the United States
and its allies has contributed to a growing unease among Muslims and re-enforced
deep-seated mistrust of the ‘West’. Public articulation of such
misgivings has in turn, lent credence to Western observers who posit an inherent
antipathy between the West and the Muslim world. The subsequent policies that
have emerged in this context of fear and mutual distrust have contributed to
the vicious cycle of insecurity. The present volume is anchored in the
current debates on the uneasy and potentially mutually destructive relationship
between the Muslim world and certain West countries. It brings together leading
international scholars in this interdisciplinary field to deal with such inter-related
questions as the nature of Islamism, the impact of the ‘war on terror’ on
the spread of militancy, the growing sense of being under siege by Muslim Diasporas
and the many unintended ramifications of a security-minded world order. This
volume deliberately focuses on these issues both at a broad theoretical level
but more importantly in the form of a number of prominent case studies including
Indonesia, Algeria and Turkey.
The Search for Deliberative Democracy in China
He, B and Ethan, J. Leib (eds.) (2006) Palgrave, New York, pp.296.
This book investigates whether the theory of “deliberative democracy”--developed
in the West to focus democratic theory on the legitimation that deliberation
can afford--has any application to Chinese processes of democratization. It
discovers pockets of theory especially useful to guide Chinese practices and
pockets of Chinese practice that can, in turn, educate the West on possibilities
for innovative uses of deliberative democratic theory.
