ヨーロッパとインド太平洋地域における地政学的リスク-国家安全保障の視点
Park, Sang-Chul / Lai, Yun-Chen (eds.),
Geopolitical Risks in Europe and the Indo-Pacific Region: Perspectives of National Security. 206 pp. 2025:4 (Springer, GW) <743-883>
ISBN 978-981-9618-39-2 hard ¥32,028.- (税込) EUR 139.99
This book explores the geo-political risks in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region and interaction between the two regions in the rapidly changing global political landscape. The book explores the reasons for Europe extending its reach and engagement in the Indo-Pacific region, and the Indo-Pacific region increasing its ties with Europe. The book goes on to consider the impact and implications of these engagements on the global order, analyzing cases of potential geopolitical risks brought on by EU-India relations, EU-China relations, EU-Peru-China relations, EU in the Sino-Philippine territorial disputes, and EU's role in North Korean Nuclear matters. The book would be a valuable read for scholars of international relations and politics, policymakers, and those interested in the interactions between the two regions.

Lan, Shanshan / Debnar, Milos (eds.),
Migration, Transnational Flows, and the Contested Meanings of Race in Asia. (IMISCOE Research Series) 212 pp. 2025:4 (Springer, GW) <743-943>
ISBN 978-3-031-81544-7 hard ¥11,436.- (税込) EUR 49.99
This open access edited volume addresses the multi-layered relations between migration, transnational flows, and the contested meanings of race in Asia. It tries to answer the following questions: how do migration and transnational flows from the Western world impact racial knowledge formation in Asian societies? To what extent do they challenge, perpetuate, and reshape unequal power relations based on the intersection of race, gender, class, nationality, citizenship, and migration status in Asia? How are dominant Western racial categories such as race, whiteness, and blackness redefined and reconstructed in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, when transnational mobility became both heavily restricted and stigmatized ? The book is divided into three parts: Race, Language and Migration status, Covid-19 and the Dynamics of Racialization, Gender and Interracial Encounters. This book positions itself in the nexus of race, migration and pandemic research and will make a significant contribution to critical race studies, whiteness studies, globalization, multiculturalism, and social transformation in Asia. This book is aimed at students and scholars in race and migration studies in Asia and beyond. This is an open access book.

コロンボ・プラン-冷戦期アジアにおける開発国際主義
Lowe, David,
The Colombo Plan: Development Internationalism in Cold War Asia. (Global and International History) 271 pp. 2025:8 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <743-944>
ISBN 978-1-009-60073-6 hard ¥25,047.- (税込) GB£ 90.00
Conceived in 1950, the Colombo Plan for Co-operative Development in South and Southeast Asia was a unique experiment in foreign relations. Meeting annually across what we now know as the 'Indo-Pacific', talented administrators facilitated foreign aid provision, and promoted development fuelled state-making, internationalism and experimental regionalism across postwar Asia. David Lowe argues that this new setting and dynamic international cast created an unusually productive diplomatic environment of development internationalism. The Colombo Plan did not escape power politics or Cold War divisions. However, it did run according to its own rhythm, and, unlike other experiments, it endured, continuing today in much reduced form.

Featuring stories of early settler and contemporary Asian migrant women in Asia-Pacific region, Fire Dragon Feminism discusses Asian migrant women's encounters with coloniality and racial capitalism at their workplace and in their everyday life.Centring anti-colonial, anti-racist feminist philosophies and strategies, this open access book introduces 'fire dragon feminism' - a migrant feminist strand that aims to blow flames at colonial, racial capitalist and neoliberal structures and build solidarities for more just and sustainable futures. Based on in-depth interviews with 40 Asian migrant employees in Australian universities, the book examines how Asian migrant women are implicated and complicit in white race-making projects while being subjected to racialisation and marginalisation simultaneously. Fire Dragon Feminism presents a historicised and sociological discussion of the contradictions, trade-offs, complicities and refusals in the Asian migrant women's tales of migration, coloniality and racial capitalism. The author ends the book with a celebration of anti-colonial, anti-racist grassroots feminist activisms.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

実力者としてのアジア太平洋の二次国家-米中の戦略的競争における連携の役割
Cook, Richard J. / Ohle, Maximilian / Han, Zhaoying,
Asia Pacific Secondary States as Kingmakers: Alignment Roles in the China-US Strategic Competition. (Routledge Studies on the Asia-Pacific Region) 216 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <742-435>
ISBN 978-1-032-84305-6 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, Cook, Ohle and Han investigate the escalating strategic competition between China and the US. They explore the dynamics of key regional secondary states caught in the middle, namely Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam, emphasizing their crucial role as potential kingmakers in the shifting balance of power. China and the US are competing to win influence over these regional linchpins to advance their geopolitical ambitions and ultimately win the strategic competition. Elucidating a "power of the weak paradox", this contribution examines the challenging choices faced by these secondary states as they navigate alignment pressures, which influences the trajectory of the great power strategic competition. Drawing upon a range of first-hand government sources and regional perspectives, the authors take the temperature of the China-US strategic competition, revealing the intricate influencing dynamics and perilous choices linchpins are being pushed to make that will determine the fate of the Asia-Pacific.This is a timely resource for researchers, students, scholars and politicians navigating the complex realm of international relations by providing a profound exploration of power struggles, strategic choices, and the often-overlooked role of secondary states.

Contested Waste: Environmental Conflicts and Waste Picker Resistance in the Global South. (Routledge Studies in Political Ecology) 380 pp. 2025:6 (Routledge, UK) <742-476>
ISBN 978-1-032-74280-9 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
Contested Waste' examines socio-environmental conflicts involving waste pickers in the Global South, uncovering the systemic injustices that underpin contemporary waste policies. Driven by the privatisation of waste management, these conflicts expose the "recycling paradox": while waste pickers make critical, uncompensated contributions to sustainability, they are further excluded by new policies. This book analyses how modern waste policies marginalise waste pickers, triggering conflicts in cities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Drawing on over 70 conflicts documented in the Global Environmental Justice Atlas, the book explores how privatisation, incineration, and waste enclosures displace informal recyclers and worsen the sustainability crisis. These processes exemplify "capital accumulation by dispossession," as waste streams are enclosed and privatised, excluding waste pickers, and "capital accumulation by contamination," as environmental burdens are shifted onto marginalised communities. The book also showcases waste pickers' resilience as they organise to fight for justice and equitable waste systems. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and activists in environmental justice, development, and urban studies, this book reveals the structural drivers of waste conflicts and the transformative power of grassroots resistance in shaping sustainable and inclusive urban futures.

グローバル・サウスにおける感情、意識向上、フェミニズム
Loureiro, Gabriela Silva,
Emotions, Consciousness-Raising and Feminisms in the Global South: On Building Solidarity. (Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Emotions) 176 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <742-479>
ISBN 978-1-032-49917-8 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
This book is about the role of emotions in the creation and dissipation of feminist collectives and grapples with difficult questions that have been circulating for a while in activist circles but are far from answered. What are the emotions involved in building and sustaining solidarity? What can we learn from previous "waves" of feminist activism and what is worth saving in social media activism today?These questions are tackled via the discourse analysis of hashtagged posts of two popular feminist hashtags in Brazil (#PrimeiroAssedio and #MeuAmigoSecreto) and interviews with Brazilian feminist actors. But instead of merely analysing the content of the hashtags or over celebrating aesthetics, I interpret them as empirical evidence of the emotional life of varied feminisms and therefore useful to reflect upon historical build-ups and dissipation of solidarity.The unique feature of the book is making a bridge between sociology of emotions, feminist theory and decolonial, Black and Global South literature and praxis that articulate solidarity based on principles of difference instead of sameness. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, teachers, activists and community members interested in the emotions involved in building and sustaining feminist solidarity from a non-Western perspective.

International Political Economy and the Global South: Perspectives from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. 162 pp. 2025:6 (Routledge, UK) <742-132>
ISBN 978-1-032-20581-6 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-20574-8 paper ¥11,128.- (税込) GB£ 39.99
International Political Economy and the Global South provides students from both the global South and the global North a textbook that speaks to distinct concepts, categories, and issues of International Political Economy, from a Southern and Northern perspective, while identifying how they differ.The primary goal is to provide an alternative or complementary reading of IPE derived from the experiences of the periphery. The textbook asks: how has the global South responded to the demands of a global economy? What is the meaning of sovereignty to those who have experienced colonialism and imperialism? How can the global South claim the "international" when the global North sets its norms, institutions, and practices? It opens with a standard introduction, offering an intellectual history of key IPE concepts, including state, firm, capital, power, labor, globalization, and finance. Each subsequent chapter follows a similar structure: exploration of the problem; discussion of what may be missing from dominant understandings of the problem and/or how orthodox IPE may tell us something different about the problem compared to what is experienced in the global South; identification of alternative frameworks and perspectives.Aiming to de-Westernize and decentralize the production of knowledge, the textbook introduces students to the discipline and phenomenon of IPE with a genuinely global perspective.

Handbook of Public Policy Evaluation in the Global South: Politics, Praxes and Futures. (Handbooks of Research on Public Policy) 464 pp. 2025:5 (E. Elgar, UK) <741-810>
ISBN 978-1-0353-5119-0 hard ¥59,834.- (税込) GB£ 215.00
This insightful Handbook delves into public policy evaluation in the Global South. Drawing on in-depth case studies, it analyzes the complex interplay of historical, political, economic, and social factors that shape evaluation practices in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.Expert authors explore how colonial legacies, institutional frameworks, and international influences have molded public policy evaluation across diverse contexts. Chapters critically assess current challenges facing evaluators, including capacity constraints, political interference, and the tension between global standards and local realities. Integrating both political and technocratic perspectives, they consider emerging practices in the field, proposing innovative strategies for developing more effective and culturally responsive approaches to evaluation. Timely and perceptive, the Handbook ultimately emphasizes the need for more inclusive global discussions surrounding public policy evaluation.This Handbook is an important resource for students and academics in public policy, public administration, political science, international development, and sociology. Policymakers, government officials, and professionals will also benefit from the book's theoretical and practical insights.

Borah, Rupakjyoti,
Beyond The BRI: Can India, Japan and the US Provide an Alternative Model of Connectivity? 140 pp. 2024:12 (World Scientific, SI) <741-857>
ISBN 978-981-9805-56-3 hard ¥17,074.- (税込) US$ 78.00
The Indo-Pacific has now emerged as a major area of collaboration between India, Japan and the United States (US). It was in 2018 that the US renamed its Pacific Command as the Indo-Pacific Command. The US and Japan have already been working together on the Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative 'led by major democracies to help narrow the $40+ trillion infrastructure need in the developing world'. In addition, the United States and Japan share a vision of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific while India has an 'Act-East Policy,' and all these meet in the Indo-Pacific. This book will analyse whether India, US and Japan can provide an alternate model of connectivity and infrastructure development in the Indo-Pacific since all the three countries have not joined the China-led BRI.

China's Bilateral Relations and Order Transition in the Indo-Pacific. 350 pp. 2025:3 (World Scientific, SI) <741-862>
ISBN 978-1-80061-627-1 hard ¥28,019.- (税込) US$ 128.00
The strategic rivalry between the United States and China has emerged as a defining feature of international politics in the Indo-Pacific region. How China engages with the US and other significant stakeholders in the region will intricately shape the trajectory and character of an impending transition in the international order, either through peaceful or confrontational means in the future.This edited volume undertakes a systematic exploration of China's multifaceted interactions with five pivotal players situated in the Indo-Pacific: the United States, Japan, India, Australia, and ASEAN. By delving into both the theoretical underpinnings of state-to-state relationships and the empirical nuances of China's strategic engagements with these five critical actors, this book casts a clarifying light on the complexity of China's bilateral ties within the region. Each of these bilateral relationships is examined from a dual perspective, capturing insights from scholars hailing from both within China and beyond its borders. This comprehensive initiative delves into the different viewpoints held by Chinese academics and their international counterparts regarding the very same bilateral relationship, thereby forging a pairwise comprehension. This book will captivate the attention of scholars and policy analysts alike, fascinated by the dynamics of the US-China competition and the broader realm of geopolitics.

S.M.Ali著 アジア・太平洋の安全保障のダイナミクス-米中日の三者間の軌跡
Ali, S. Mahmud,
Asia-Pacific Security Dynamics: US-China-Japan Triadic Trajectories. (Global Power Shift) 359 pp. 2025:1 (Springer, GW) <741-883>
ISBN 978-3-031-78006-6 hard ¥32,028.- (税込) EUR 139.99
This book examines the causes and consequences of the dramatic shift in Japanese national security perspectives and mutually exclusive policies toward China and the USA. It sheds new light on the changing trajectories of triadic dynamics shaping U.S.-China-Japan strategic insecurity, their historical roots, its implications for trans-Pacific peace and stability, and their potential influence on emerging regional and systemic security architectures. Against the backdrop of U.S.-proclaimed "great power competition" with China as the defining feature and organizing principle of the U.S.-led coalition's strategic and geopolitical responses to China's "national rejuvenation," with primacy's "displacement anxiety" triggering a "systemic transitional fluidity," the book examines the origins and outcomes of Sino-Japanese insecurity, its polarizing effects on U.S.-China and U.S.-Japan relations, and the wider systemic resonances and dissonances as the post-Cold War unipolar systemic structure gives way to an uncertain, ambiguous, and imprecise successor regime. Finally, historical lessons drawn from primary documents are used to illuminate the prospects for triangular relations in shaping the Asia-Pacific security ecology over the medium term.

ISBN 978-981-9791-89-7 hard ¥29,740.- (税込) EUR 129.99
This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of India-China relations, spanning from the making of a common border to the events leading to the 1962 war. Relying on vast Chinese, Indian, as well as western sources, the study provides a detailed exegesis of the nature of conflict covering over a century of political contours in the British India, Manchu China, Republican China and finally the Republic of India and Peoples Republic of China. This includes the British as well as Manchu aggression in Tibet and the ensuing diplomatic manoeuvrability between various stakeholders, resulting in conclusion of various conventions and boundaries including the contentious McMahon Line and shifting line alignments of the Chinese in the Western Sector of India-China border. The domestic socio-political and economic climate as well as the equations that resulted from the Cold War between India and China have been looked into and analysed reflecting the Chinese and well as Indian perspectives. The special case of Sino-Pak entente and India-China rivalry in Asia as a whole has been analysed vis-a-vis their security concerns.

秋田茂著 アジアの視点から見たイギリス帝国史
Akita, Shigeru,
History of the British Empire from Asian Perspectives. (Studies in Economic History) 136 pp. 2025:3 (Springer, GW) <741-379>
ISBN 978-981-9610-03-7 hard ¥29,740.- (税込) EUR 129.99
This book presents the history of the British Empire as the "Bridge" for creating a Global History, especially emphasizing its connections with Asian regions. The United Kingdom ruled most of the world in the nineteenth century. Its influence spread around the globe in various forms - in the white settlements such as those in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (Dominions), in Asian and African regions represented by present-day India, in colonies acquired by military force (Dependencies), and in other regions under its economic influence through trade and investment (the informal empire). Thus, the British Empire played a key role in nineteenth-century globalization. There are many books on the British Empire in English. However, no books from Asian perspectives have interpreted it as "the means used by Asian countries for their own economic development" (and as providers of "international public goods"). Along with the East Asian economic resurgence, the weight of the global system and the world economy has now largely shifted from the Atlantic world to the Asia-Pacific region, encompassing India, as well as the Pacific coast of the United States. The global depression in 2008 accelerated this trend. We now face the task of building a new interpretation of world history with a clearer understanding of this upheaval. Redrawing world history is not an easy task but a good starting point would be to analyze the mutual relationship between the British Empire and the Asian regions, and this can be done by interpreting the historical significance of the British Empire.

グローバル・ガバナンスとポリティカル・サウス-BRICS内外の連続性と変化

Global Governance and The Political South: Continuity and Change In and Beyond the BRICS. (Global Governance) 238 pp. 2025:4 (Routledge, UK) <740-763>
ISBN 978-1-032-81940-2 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
This book gives a new compelling meaning to the metaphor of 'Global South' against the background of the global political challenge to international order, driven not only through the BRICS grouping, but also by the activities of middle powers striving to alter the political status quo. Expert contributors highlight the interplay between politics, economy, and security, offering insights into how the Global South perceives and responds to pivotal events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2008 Financial Crisis. They uncover how non-Western countries interpret and react to these turning points, and explore a diverse array of interests, values, and political behaviours often misunderstood in the West. The volume also examines whether initiatives from the Global South can reshape global governance institutions, influence the existing structures, and provide a historical and philosophical context to understand the continuities and changes in global governance. Ideal for scholars and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the rise and influence of the Global South, BRICS, global governance, and the evolving international system.

グローバル・サウスにおける市民社会と現地のオーナーシップ-紛争と軍国主義への対応
Natil, Ibrahim (ed.),
Civil Society and Local Ownership in the Global South: Responses to Conflict and Militarism. (Routledge Explorations in Development Studies) 152 pp. 2025:3 (Routledge, UK) <740-783>
ISBN 978-1-032-93241-5 hard ¥14,746.- (税込) GB£ 52.99
This book assesses local civil society responses to conflict, militarism, climate change, and disease in the global south.Grounded in empirical analyses of civil society developments in Sub-Saharan African countries, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, and Syria, the book demonstrates that that civil society organisations in unstable circumstances and divided societies have room and power to help and influence their societies and to become engaged in supporting active participation in society to help communities to endure uncertainty. The book considers the ways in which crises of conflict, war, climate change, and disease have challenged civil society organisations in their scope of work and operations. It also demonstrates the benefits of local ownership and grassroots initiatives in helping to empower local people by contributing to decision-making processes in peacebuilding and post-conflict consensus-building.This book will be an important read for researchers looking for a new approach to civil society in a global south context, by focusing on local ownership and the different perspectives for each country, in terms of leadership culture and development in practice.

The Routledge Handbook of Subalterns across History. 442 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <740-794>
ISBN 978-1-032-57883-5 hard ¥64,009.- (税込) GB£ 230.00
Subaltern Studies has marked both a major departure in South Asian studies and indexed broader shifts in the critical humanities and social sciences. This volume explores what it means to set to work today studies of subaltern subjects in our rapidly mutating social worlds. This handbook spans diverse historical, ethnographic, and geopolitical spaces, drawing in the Antipodes and the Americas, Diasporas and Oceanic worlds, Africa and the Middle East, apart from Europe and many South Asias - overlapping arenas in which the "subaltern" continues to find distinct yet substantive articulations. It also seeks to meaningfully juxtapose practices and processes of gender and race; indigeneity and indenture; age and sexuality; slavery and apartheid; the Adivasi and the Dalit; settler-colonialisms and nations; nature and environment; caste and tribe; diaspora and blackness; capital and property; science and technology; media and cinema; the body and dance; heteronormativity and queerness; state and governance; politics and justice. In these ways, the study un-frames disciplinary boundaries and maps emergent terrains, exactly articulating pressing subjects and rethinking distinct subalternities. This book is aimed at researchers, scholars, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the critical human sciences, especially history, anthropology, social theory and cultural, gender, and literary studies.

Decoloniality in Gender Discourse and Praxis: A View from the Margins. (Routledge ISS Gender, Sexuality and Development Studies) 178 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <740-795>
ISBN 978-1-032-76481-8 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
This book showcases Global South theorizations and understandings of gender.By taking voices from the margins and putting them center stage, the book provides an important example of decoloniality in action, challenging a field that continues to be rooted in Western Feminist epistemology. The book first analyzes the history and development of gender discourse, before going on to investigate non-Western philosophy and frameworks around gender. Each chapter presents instances of decoloniality in action, with possible retheorizations and rationalizations of how to be decolonial within gender discourse and praxis. The book concludes by considering what the future implications of a truly decolonial gender discourse and praxis would be.Offering detailed empirical accounts of decoloniality in action, this book will be a useful guide for researchers of gender and post-colonial studies.

Urban River Restoration and Waterfront Development in Asian Cities: The Social Question. 230 pp. 2025:5 (Routledge, UK) <740-800>
ISBN 978-1-032-29151-2 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-99313-3 paper ¥11,128.- (税込) GB£ 39.99
The book looks at recent initiatives for river restoration and riverfront intended to contribute to making Asian cities clean, resilient and investment worthy. It uses an interdisciplinary perspective to assert that insufficient consideration of social issues in the planning and management of urban riverscapes leads to social exclusion. Utilising diverse entry points and theoretical orientations, every chapter of the volume contributes to the exploration of the way urban river restoration is entwined with questions around urban citizenship, violation of international housing rights, poverty and vulnerability, livelihoods, and the use of common property resources. It explores the social aspects of well-known cases and examples of river restoration projects from Asian megacities such as Lahore, Dhaka, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bangkok, Manila, and secondary cities in India. While touching on the technical, ecological, and recreational aspects of urban river restoration and riverfront development, the book focuses upon social issues related to displacement, contestations around land and water, the right to adequate housing and the interconnected rights to livelihoods, health, and food security.Enriched with empirical evidence and theoretical underpinnings, this book will be useful for students, teachers and researchers of urban studies, urban geography, urban planning, urban ecology, sociology, community development, and policy and governance. It will also provide valuable case material for practitioners in those disciplines.

Legal Empowerment in Informal Settlements: Grassroots Experiences in the Global South. 276 pp. 2025:4 (Routledge, UK) <740-421>
ISBN 978-1-032-88637-4 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-88628-2 paper ¥11,128.- (税込) GB£ 39.99
This book investigates grassroots, community-led justice strategies - known as legal empowerment - being used to promote the human rights of people living in informal settlements in the Global South.Residents of informal settlements, also known as slums or favelas, encounter a complex array of human rights violations; from systemic discrimination by public officials, to threats to physical security from forced evictions, or arbitrary arrests, to a lack of access to basic services such as housing, water, sanitation, and education. This book shows how grassroots justice organizations around the world are working with residents to defend their rights and secure more dignified living conditions. Drawing on original empirical research across 10 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the book demonstrates how legal empowerment can put residents at the centre of holistic approaches to urban development and confront exclusionary and undemocratic systems of governance. The book encompasses practical recommendations and strategies such as rights-based approaches to informality, participation, community mobilization and litigation.Bridging the gaps between the law on the books and the harsh realities of informality on the ground, this book will be an important read for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, working in realms of social and economic rights, access to justice and urban poverty and development.

Post-Development from the Global South: Radical Alternatives or Ambivalent Engagements? (Rethinking Development) 260 pp. 2025:4 (Routledge, UK) <740-209>
ISBN 978-1-032-76298-2 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
ISBN 978-1-032-76296-8 paper ¥11,128.- (税込) GB£ 39.99
Post-development advocates and decolonial thinkers are calling for radical alternatives to development, but how do these ideals sit with the day-to-day reality of marginalised communities struggling with poverty, precarity, and the deprivation of human rights?This book investigates how post-development alternatives are being understood and negotiated on the ground in the Global South. Indigenous concepts and practices attributed to people in the Global South are seen by post-development thinkers as offering transformative alternatives to dominant development models of progress and economic growth. For example, buen vivir from particular regions of South America points to a 'culture of life' and ubuntu in Southern Africa emphasises human connectedness and mutuality. Such terms are associated with social and environmental sustainability, and a greater connection to Southern epistemologies. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this book takes us directly to Global South communities from around the world, to consider the complex ways in which they negotiate the ideas and practices associated with (post)development, and their views on the supposed indigenous alternatives. The book encourages a contextual approach that embraces the tensions and contradictions that exist within different communities.Taking the reader from abstract post-development theory right into the heart of communities directly impacted by development, this book will be an important guide for students, researchers and practitioners looking for better ways to address the desires and aspirations of marginalised communities in the Global South.

Palimpsests of Religious Encounter in Asia, 1500-1800. (Intersections 97) 540 pp. 2025:4 (Brill, NE) <740-150>
ISBN 978-90-04-52274-9 hard ¥35,464.- (税込) EUR 155.00
During the "thick globalism" of the early modern world, evidence of religious contact, between conflict and commerce, has been overlooked in national narratives. In Palimpsests of Religious Encounter in Asia, 1500-1800, a cross-disciplinary group of international experts delve into on-site artefacts and archives to consider the geographical imagination, the transfer of knowledge, the politics of interreligious dialogue, the practice of reception, and the cyclical flow of meaning across transcultural things. Illustrations of objects rarely available to the public demonstrate how religious belief can provide a shared methodological platform for the global turn of art history. Contributors: Francis X.

ISBN 978-3-031-56109-2 hard ¥29,740.- (税込) EUR 129.99
In this book we propose to tackle militarization trends in Latin America which include the presence of the military organizations in some vital national economic activities, the ethics and aesthetics of the 'military' in popular forms of entertainment, the active engagement of military personnel in criminal activities, the Armed Forces intervention in electoral processes, the Armed Forces engagement in the cybersphere and cyberwarfare, their participation in civil defense operations, their emulation by militias, gangs and other armed non-state actors. We shall consider militarization on multiple scales from the individual body and subjectification processes to international politics from the everyday experiences and practices to the development of national strategies in Latin America and we shall avoid the dichotomy between a militarized moment and space and a demilitarized moment and space.

Urban Planning and Design for Megacities in the Global South: Smart and Sustainable Development. (Advances in 21st Century Human Settlements) 641 pp. 2025:2 (Springer, GW) <739-481>
ISBN 978-981-9783-69-4 hard ¥34,316.- (税込) EUR 149.99
This anthology, Urban Planning and Design for Megacities in the Global South: Smart and Sustainable Development, sheds light on the intricate dynamics of megacity growth in the Global South. It has compiled a rich and diverse array of evidence-based case studies, fostering discussions on emerging issues, strategies, and solutions for the enhanced planning and development of megacities in the Global South. By delving into the underlying factors propelling this rapid urban expansion, such as economic opportunities, rural-to-urban migration, and natural population growth, this volume analyzes the complex interplay of socio-economic, environmental, and political forces shaping city-regional landscapes. Examining the growth of megacities offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with urbanization in the 21st century. Furthermore, some cities that have not yet achieved megacity status have also been included in this book to provide a comprehensive understanding of urban growth dynamics and the related factors influencing this growth. By studying these rapidly expanding cities, their challenges in urban planning and policy implementation can be identified. These challenges often include inadequate infrastructure, insufficient public services, environmental degradation, and socio-economic disparities. In response, using case studies, the book presents conceptual and empirical strategies to tackle the various problems faced by megacities of the Global South.

Spaces of Creative Resistance: Social Change Projects in 21st Century East Asia brings together an exciting cross-regional inter-disciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists and others for a collection which addresses the last two decade's hollowing out of social connections, socio-economic income gaps, and general precarity of life in East Asia societies. Written by authors from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each chapter is focused on those making a difference together in socially sustainable ways, particularly in the areas of gender, labor, and environments -- both built and natural. These projects all constitute acts of creative resistance to neoliberal development, and each act of creative resistance demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making new worlds and lifeways in the small and everyday. Taking on larger political and economic forces that affect their lives and communities, each project and group of individuals featured here is focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures.

Collective Action in Post-colonial Societies: Beyond the Binary of Sovereignty and Solidarity. 161 pp. 2025:2 (Springer, GW) <739-486>
ISBN 978-3-031-77546-8 hard ¥29,740.- (税込) EUR 129.99
This book offers an exploration of collective action by bringing together the themes of sovereignty and solidarity in post-colonial societies in Africa and beyond. It does so against a common tradition of writing about collective action that assumes an opposition between the state as a legal framework of unity and social movements that express the aspirations of marginalized people. The book's examination of collective action resists this binary division. It states that sovereignty can be imagined beyond the confines of the law and consequently beyond the centrality of the state. Power therefore appears as a construct of forces and factors that signal or gesture to a complex but fascinating way of imagining collective action. These forces and factors open our eyes to the dynamics of life in post-colonial societies in ways that the understanding of sovereignty centred on law conceals. Brought into an intimacy with solidarity, sovereignty opens collective action to nuanced, complex and multiple configurations that surpass binary thinking. This is an innovative approach and of interest to students and scholars from across the social sciences.

This Element examines evolving methods of cultivating the embodied self, including healing diseases and creating a superior person, in late Warring States and early imperial East Asia. It analyses many topics, including the textualization of bodily regimens and therapies, their systematization, their dissemination among different (and sometimes rival) social groups, and the diversity of traditions - religious, pharmacological, nourishing of life - that contested and combined to form a hegemonic medical practice. These topics in turn feature several issues: models of the body, regimens of cultivating and extending vitality, models of disease, and therapies for these ailments. All these ideas will be refined and extended through comparison with early Western medical traditions.

"An electrifying archive of queer cultural productions... These radical and minor transnational artistic practices by East and Southeast Asian queer diasporic cultural producers emerge in new light through Bao's brilliant theoretical insights." - Alvin K. Wong, author of Unruly Comparison: Queerness, Hong Kong, and the Sinophone The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified global geopolitical tensions, bringing Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism into sharp focus. At the same time, a growing Asian diasporic consciousness is emerging worldwide, celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. Yet, in the space between anti-Asian racism and the rise of Asian advocacy, the voices of queer people have often been largely missing. This book addresses that gap. Exploring a range of contemporary case studies from art, fashion, performance, film, and political activism, Bao offers a powerful intersectional cultural politics-anti-nationalist, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, and queer-that challenges dominant narratives and amplifies marginalized voices. The Social Science for Social Justice series challenges the Ivory Tower of academia, providing a platform for academics, journalists, and activists of color to respond to pressing social issues.

ISBN 978-1-032-78124-2 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
Liquor has become a "party" in East Asia. A beverage phenomenon popular among countries throughout the region. But, in fact, each country of East Asia has experienced a different evolution of spirits. Indeed, there is a liquor idiosyncrasy to each country of East Asia. Moreover, hooch is the popular alcoholic beverage for the lower classes while more sophisticated spirits are exclusive to the higher classes.The book examines liquor: moonshine and retail liquor in East Asia. It analyses the following questions as to why is liquor becoming so popular in East Asia? Why is production of liquor in East Asia becoming so financially lucrative? Why has the production of hooch (moonshine) become so lucrative? In fact, the production and consumption of liquor in East Asian has become crucial as East Asia enters a period of craft liquor. A valuable resource for academics, students and professionals interested in public policy, history, political economy, consumer goods in East Asia and the evolution of Hooch and Hard Liquor in East Asia.

Doctrine and Disease in the British and Spanish Colonial World. 214 pp. 2025:6 (Pennsylvania State U. Pr., US) <738-858>
ISBN 978-0-271-09982-8 hard ¥24,068.- (税込) US$ 109.95
In the sixteenth century, unprecedented migration caused diseases to take hold in new locales, turning illness and the human body into battlegrounds for competing religious beliefs as well as the colonial agendas they were often ensnared in. This interdisciplinary volume follows the contours of illness, epidemics, and cures in the early modern British and Spanish Empires as these were understood in religious terms.Each chapter of this volume centers on a key moment during this period of remarkable upheaval, including Jesuit co-optation of Indigenous knowledge in Peru, the Catholic Church's dissemination of the smallpox vaccine across the Spanish Empire, Puritan collective fasting during smallpox outbreaks, and the practice of eating dirt as Obeah resistance among enslaved people in Jamaica. Throughout, the contributors explore how the porous geographical borders of the transatlantic world meant medicine and religion were translated through and against each other, over and over again. Residing at the nexus between two largely discrete areas of inquiry, this collection provides significant insight into the numerous points of juncture between medicine and religion in the Atlantic world.In addition to the editor, the contributors to this volume include Matthew James Crawford, Rana A. Hogarth, Crawford Gribben, Philippa Koch, Allyson M. Poska, Catherine Reedy, and Rebecca Totaro.

The Science of Oriental Society: Karl August Wittfogel and the East Asian Intellectuals. (Asia, Europe, and Global Connections) 212 pp. 2025:1 (Routledge, UK) <738-860>
ISBN 978-1-032-31797-7 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
This book provides a compelling exploration into the distinctive approaches East Asian scholars employ to articulate the peculiarities of Asia's modernity. These narratives are deftly shaped through their interactions with German-American social scientist Karl August Wittfogel, offering rich insights into the intellectual exchanges that have influenced regional understandings of society.The Science of Oriental Society: Karl Augst Wittfogel and East Asian Intellectuals explores how Wittfogel's controversial concept of "Oriental society" has influenced the assessments and interpretations of Asia's economy and society by generations of East Asian social scientists throughout the twentieth century. The book examines the social thought of a broad spectrum of individuals engaged in the debate over Oriental society, including professional economists and sociologists in Japan and China, non-university radical activists of various convictions, and multinational research personnel who served under Japan's colonial rule in Asia. It also details Wittfogel's personal and intellectual interactions with his contemporary scholars from East Asia and discusses how these local intellectuals appropriated and recontextualized his theoretical framework to suit their differing political agendas.This book will be of great value to students and researchers interested in the history of social sciences, the history of sinology, heterodox economic thought, Europe-Asian knowledge transfer, and broadly defined area studies.

Security Order and Strategic Alignment in Europe and the Asia-Pacific: Times of Global Power Shifts. (Routledge Studies on the Asia-Pacific Region) 200 pp. 2025:3 (Routledge, UK) <738-825>
ISBN 978-1-032-82182-5 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
Atanassova-Cornelis, Sato, Sauer and their contributors examine the implications of the shifts in power for the regional security order as the long-term relative decline of the US standing in the global hierarchy of power is more pronounced than ever due to the challenges it faces from the rising China in Asia and the reviving Russia in Europe.The world is in disarray and the balance of power is shifting, which results in enhanced tensions and wars, including on the territory of Europe. The complexity of the international order that prevails today possibly misleads us towards viewing everything in terms of a bipolar competition as predicted by systemic-level realism. While membership of the multilateral NATO Alliance expands in Europe in light of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, China's assertive behavior in Asia has produced numerous strategic alignments that are short of a formal alliance involving Asian states, the US, and European countries. "Hedging" strategies are commonly found in Asian states' approaches to security, working against bifurcation of powers. On the other hand, European entries into alignments in the "Indo-Pacific" have demonstrated inseparability of security in Asia from security in Europe through the shared thread of "engaging the US". Whether China defines its challenge against the US in regional or global terms also has differing implications for the evolution of the international system. This book with contributions by Asian, European, and North American experts provides an overview of the two region's differing alignment paths in comparative and inter-regional perspectives.A valuable resource for academics, researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts interested in European and Asia-Pacific security, as well as international and regional security issues.

The Palgrave Handbook of Non-State Actors in East-West Relations. 932 pp. 2024:9 (Springer, GW) <737-938>
ISBN 978-3-031-40545-7 hard ¥91,516.- (税込) EUR 399.99
The Handbook introduces to readers (accessibly for specialist and non-specialist scholars, students and layman audiences) the diverse universe of non-state actors (NSAs) that have played or are currently playing a significant role in the context of East-West relations (from 1945 to the present). With a view to the oft-seen political debates about which non- state actors may be independent or controlled by particular states, and in what ways they may be useful or harmful to the interests of particular actors, this volume is interested in analysing and assessing the relationship of NSAs to key state actors in the context of the politics of East-West relations. Key state actors in this context include more than just the United States (on the one hand) and the Soviet Union or Russia (on the other hand). To offer a structured overview, the volume explores possible typologies of the relationships conceivable between NSAs and states. New concepts and organising principles are presented, to support a process-tracing analysis of the evolution of proxy ships, partnerships and other types of connections between states and non-state actors. Degrees, sources and types of control and influence are considered. Further, the Handbook's chapters also examine NSAs' impact on the dynamics of interstate conflict and cooperation in the East-West dimension. The systematic examination of the relationship between states and NSAs in East-West relations proposed here is the first undertaking of its kind. International scholarship in political science and strategic analyses have so far neglected to develop an analytical framework and a truly nuanced understanding that could capture the intricate and multilevel relationships that exists between NSAs and states in this context.

German-Speaking Jewish Refugees in Asia, 1930-1950: Shelter from the Storm? (Routledge Studies in Cultural History) 400 pp. 2025:2 (Routledge, UK) <737-994>
ISBN 978-1-032-84985-0 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00
Although most perished, hundreds of thousands of Central European Jews escaped the Holocaust; tens of thousands of these Jewish refugees ended up in East Asia, Southeast Asia, or South Asia. Taking a global and transnational approach, this volume examines the cultural, political, and socioeconomic encounters among and between Asian and European states and empires, Central European Jews, and Asians between 1930 and 1950, offering important case studies that address the policies toward and experiences of German-speaking Jews across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.The strength of this volume lies not only in its efforts to include multiple theoretical perspectives, which integrate German, Jewish, Asian, and Migration Studies, but in the original empirical research on which it is based. Engaging directly with the rich and growing historiography on the origins, course, and consequences of the Holocaust globally and in East, Southeast, and South Asia specifically, this volume provides a framework in which we can better understand how global traditions of empire and colonialism matter in our efforts to understand the Holocaust, while indicating that Asian states and peoples were keenly aware of the so-called "Jewish Question" and made efforts, though widely differentiated, to provide shelter from the Nazi storm.German-speaking Jewish Refugees in Asia, 1930-1950 will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in the history of Jewish refugees in the twentieth century, as well as all those interested in the modern history of Germany and Asia.

Crowley, Kate / Nakamura, Akihiro,
Regional Climate Leadership in East Asia and the Pacific. (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies) 168 pp. 2025:1 (Routledge, UK) <737-995>
ISBN 978-0-367-77235-2 hard ¥40,353.- (税込) GB£ 145.00 *
This book defines regional climate leadership in East Asia and the Pacific as a novel addition to the climate leadership theory. It develops criteria for measuring such leadership on a country basis and uses these for assessing the efforts of developed, lesser-developed, and developing countries within these regions.The book suggests that regional climate leadership consists of leading domestic actions, leading actions within the region, leading actions that are regionally coordinated, and leading actions on a differentiated basis between countries with greater and lesser capacity, and with neighbourly intent. The book is policy and climate solutions-focused, and identifies opportunities for lesson learning and policy transfer for more effective mitigation and adaptation. These solutions take into account the widely varying and complex geographical, political, and institutional circumstances of the region.It is intended for a broad readership of climate policy actors, including policy professionals, academics, non-government researchers, and all who are looking for climate leadership solutions to the problems of accelerating climate impact in East Asia and the Pacific.
