This book examines the experiences of the South Sudanese displaced during the latest civil war, which caused a quarter of South Sudan's population to flee their homes. It considers how these experiences relate to the ways in which the identities, rights and sense of belonging of displaced citizens are scrutinised by local authorities and contested by the individuals and communities inhabiting the South Sudanese-Ugandan borderland.

Drawing on extensive original research documenting the personal accounts of people displaced to Uganda's settlements and urban centres, this book pushes the conceptual boundaries of what being 'displaced' or a 'refugee' entails in a borderland region. The book introduces the concept of 'multi-site living' to explore public and private efforts to coordinate settlement life and mobility across borders. The book goes on to consider what the disruptive nature of violence and insecurity in South Sudan means for modern politics and State-making processes in the world's youngest country.

Engaging with important questions across both the social and political sciences, this book will appeal to university students, scholars and researchers working on displacement, mobility, borders, and identity politics, both within South Sudan and beyond.

This collection examines what 'critical theory' as a distinct intellectual tradition in social, political, and legal thought contributes to the study of EU law and to the future of the European project.

Covering a broad range of substantive fields of EU law and the history of legal integration, including constitutional law, the design of monetary union and economic law, fiscal integration and taxation, labour law, fundamental rights and anti-discrimination law, gender equality, migration law and policy, data protection, and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), the volume illustrates how a more rigorous engagement with critical theory helps to navigate the post-crisis European legal landscape. The contributors bring fresh, thoughtful, and innovative perspectives to EU law and theory, diagnosing the deep-seated challenges facing contemporary EU law and reimagining the emancipatory possibilities still available for it.

This volume examines Greenland's challenging paths toward independence and explores the fundamental tension between Greenland's aspirations for sovereignty and the geopolitical realities of Arctic strategic competition. The book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding Greenland's strategic options through detailed examination of its socio-economic, foreign, security, and defence policy, the Kingdom-Greenland relationship, and external pressures and offers from major powers. It analyzes how Greenland can maintain external resilience while pursuing greater autonomy in foreign policy, addressing the conflicting goals that arise when domestic independence processes intersect with international security concerns. Drawing on recent geopolitical developments-including renewed US interest in acquiring the territory and remilitarization of the Arctic-the analysis demonstrates how gradual economic diversification and strategic partnerships offer more sustainable paths than hasty independence or resource extraction dependency. The book reveals the mutual interdependence between Denmark and Greenland in protecting sovereignty against great power influence, while critically examining whether Greenland's inclusive foreign policy vision ('nothing about us without us') can be implemented without adequate resources.

Essential reading for scholars and policymakers working on Arctic governance, sovereignty studies, and small state diplomacy, this book will appeal to researchers in international relations, political science, Indigenous governance, and Arctic studies. It provides crucial insights for understanding how sub-state territories navigate independence aspirations within complex geopolitical environments.

Offering an assessment of Shinzo Abe's complex legacy as Japan's longest-serving prime minister, this book shows that beyond the acclaim for "Abenomics" and his diplomatic initiatives lies a more nuanced reality that continues to shape Japan's trajectory years.

The book focuses on Abe's security policy, his economic vision which is increasingly viewed as "welfare for the wealthy" at home, his diplomatic initiatives as well as "Abenesia" for regional reconciliation and Japan's international standing and the gap between "womenomics" rhetoric and Japan's gender equality rankings. The book further explores how opposition from Emperor Akihito and the Unification Church controversy affected Abe's agenda, while examining how his successors navigate his complex legacy.

Shinzo Abe and His Legacies will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers interested in contemporary Japan and Asian geopolitics.

This book examines the role of actors who support adjudicators at various stages of the dispute resolution process, comparing their functions across some 20 international dispute systems.

Referred to as 'Dispute Assistants', they include legal officers, referendaires, jurisconsults, and other registry or secretariat staff. Their functions are studied through doctrinal research, supplemented by discussions with relevant actors, so as to capture their actual influence on the adjudication process. The book highlights the widespread nature of their contribution. It also addresses legitimacy concerns about their potential undue influence on the mandate of adjudicators, drawing on case law, critiques from states, scholars, practitioners, and informal interviews with insiders. The last part of the book focuses on the WTO; inspired by various practices in other systems, it offers suggestions to address concerns over the quality and credibility of dispute actors, and to enhance the legitimacy of the WTO DSS and other systems.

This book is the first in-depth analysis of classism and the law.

Why doesn't the law protect class? Why do people often ignore classism as a form of discrimination? Why does legal scholarship sideline class and classism?

Arguing that class and classism have been ignored in much legal analysis, this book presents a new framework for approaching classism as a form of discrimination. Its examination of a much-overlooked topic combines theoretical argument with detailed analysis of the law. While accepting the dangers of using the law to protect against classism, this book suggests that reform in this area is long overdue.

This is a thoughtful, nuanced and important work on a crucial question.

Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Celtic World takes readers on a whirlwind journey through over two millennia of sources that provide insight to the lives and lore of remarkable women in the Celtic tradition.

From approximately 500 BCE, when the so-called 'Lady of Vix' was interred in her Hallstatt-era cart burial in what would become Central France, to the twelfth century when the Irish, Welsh, and Scots navigated the changes brought by Anglo-Norman colonization, women's stories trace the rise and fall of the Celtic-speaking world. The chapters provide a broad and varied examination of historically attested women as well as the mythological, literary, and legendary women of the medieval tradition. Finally, women of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century 'Celtic Revival' movement demonstrate the continued significance of the ancient and medieval Celtic past into the modern era.

While the Celtic past is all too often ignored or fetishized, this book provides readers with a concise yet fully contextualized introduction, valuable to anyone seeking to better their understanding of women's history and Celtic history.

Designed to equip established and emerging leaders in higher education to decipher the complex and increasingly digital world in which we live, this key text both provokes and supports thinking about digital education leadership.

At the heart of this book is the conceptual framework of Digital Education Leadership Literacies for Higher Education, or DELLHE. By journeying through the different topics, the reader is introduced to the concept of DELLHE and shown how the different dimensions can help develop critical mindsets and support leaders in taking responsible action:

-VISION-MAKING explores values, purpose, context and strategy.

-LEADING encourages deep thinking about what forms of leadership need to be mobilised and how digital education leaders can bring about change that sticks.

-SUSTAINING focuses on how decisions about digital education need to consider the human and environmental impact.

-RELATING highlights the importance of both interpersonal relationships and organisational dynamics.

-LEARNING encourages the professional development of both current and aspiring digital education leaders, as well as rethinking the ways in which higher education institutions can foster organisational learning.

Leading Higher Education in the Digital Age combines research evidence, practical examples and recommendations to stimulate thinking and action. This book will be useful for current and aspiring leaders alike: Rectors, Presidents, Vice-Chancellors, Vice-rectors and Pro-Vice-Chancellors, particularly those taking on a remit for digital education; heads of learning technology units or centres for teaching and learning, academic leaders, or learning technologists and educational developers looking to move into leadership roles.

Orthodox Christianity in America: An Introduction offers a thematically driven, anthropological account of how Orthodox Christian life has been shaped in the United States through migration, empire, and racial formation. Rather than presenting a single linear history, the book examines Orthodoxy as a dynamic and contested field of transnational religious practice, institutional development, and cultural negotiation.

Drawing on historical and ethnographic approaches, the book traces how Orthodox communities-from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia-have established religious worlds across the United States while navigating shifting conditions of belonging and exclusion. It foregrounds key forces-colonialism, capitalism, and communism-that have structured Orthodox subjectivities and institutions across homelands and diaspora. Through case studies and thematic chapters, the book explores migration infrastructures, racialization, jurisdictional tensions, conversion, and digital religious publics. It demonstrates that Orthodoxy's presence in America is both enduring and unevenly recognized, shaped by overlapping national affiliations, transnational ecclesial authority, and the racial and political conditions that determine when Orthodoxy becomes visible or remains marginal within dominant narratives of American religion.

This book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in religious studies, anthropology, history, theology, and American studies, as well as scholars of Christianity, migration, and Middle Eastern and Eastern European diasporas. It also serves as an accessible resource for readers seeking a critical anthropological introduction to Orthodox Christian histories in the United States.

A Classicist and long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous explores how Roman Stoicism can illuminate and strengthen the practices of 12-step recovery. Drawing on years of teaching ancient philosophy and more than a decade of lived sobriety, Michael Mascio offers a deeply informed, accessible account of why Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius speak powerfully to contemporary recovery. Roman Stoicism, he argues, is fundamentally therapeutic-a philosophy explicitly crafted to transform character, regulate emotion, and cultivate a resilient inner life. Its pragmatic emphasis on habit-formation, disciplined self-examination, and psychological reframing aligns strikingly with the spiritual change the 12 steps demand.

For those alienated by the religious language of Alcoholics Anonymous, Stoicism provides an intellectually rigorous yet non-dogmatic conception of a higher power rooted in nature, rationality, and universal order. This perspective enables atheists, agnostics, and spiritual seekers to engage meaningfully with recovery principles without the burden of inherited theology. The book also highlights the digestible, contemplative style of Roman Stoic writings, making them ideal companions to daily recovery meditation practices.

At a moment when Stoicism enjoys renewed cultural visibility-from popular self-help adaptations to serious philosophical revivals-this work offers the first sustained account of Stoicism as a resource for the recovering addict. Each chapter pairs one major Stoic figure with a dimension of recovery life, guiding readers through emotional regulation, higher-power conceptions, daily living, role modeling, and the disciplined reshaping of the self. Combining textual insight, lived experience, and practical guidance, the book invites people in recovery, clinicians, philosophers, and general seekers into a dialogue between two traditions devoted to inner freedom, clarity, and transformation.

What events and circumstances fuelled America's fixation with the Middle East? In this book, Professor Salim Yaqub covers over 100 years of US involvement in and policy towards the Middle East to explain this vital geopolitical relationship.

Starting with the upheavals of World War I and the first stirrings of US geopolitical interest in the region, the book describes how and why the Middle East's resources, location, conflicts and crises became key concerns for the United States. This includes:

? The growing centrality of Middle Eastern oil to the global economy and to US military strategy
? The region's geographic location and efforts to combat strategic adversaries like the Axis powers during WWII and the Soviet Union during the Cold War
? Israel's cultural and political significance to American society and government
? Anti-Western "rogue" states or terrorist groups using the region as a staging area for attacks and the US response

Taking a chronological approach, the book explains how global upheavals and traumatic ruptures in the region shaped the trajectory of US-Middle East relations over successive eras. Yaqub covers the impact of WWI, WWII and decolonization as well significant events such as the 1956 Suez Crisis, the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, Al-Qa'ida's terrorist attacks of 2001, and the Hamas raid of October 7, 2023. Readers will understand what motivated Washington's foreign policy and how it impacted the Middle East.

Pitched to university students and educated general readers, each chapter includes a timeline of relevant historical events, photographs, political cartoons, maps, and other graphics.

AC Grayling presents a work of analytic philosophy arguing that considerations of natural language ontology tell us much about how to understand truth, reference and concepts of reality.

In this detailed examination of how philosophers currently think about the 'ultimate reality', Grayling builds on three decades of thinking about metaphysical and semantic questions. Covering a wide range of central issues in metaphysics, Grayling presents stimulating insights on a range of topics including the difference between the concepts of 'actual' and 'real' and why 'social reality' is as 'real' as physical reality. He shows us the significance of epistemological scepticism and offers a revised and developed view of the consequences of it for understanding the nature and role of assertion.

Grayling's semantic anti-realism does not entail a rejection of metaphysical realism. Here the question is reframed as one about the way discourses project ontologies. By reversing the idea that perceptual discourse is the base case and that mimicry by other discourses of its grammar is a source of philosophical problems, Grayling argues that a series of familiar philosophical problems are resolved. His case for a deferral approach to ultimate reality, a metaphysical one, is compelling.

Located as part of an historical development running though Parmenides, Plato, Spinoza, Berkeley, Hume, this is a work with broad implications in the metaphysics and philosophy of science. It is essential reading for any philosopher wanting to rethink the entanglement of ontology and epistemology in questions about reality.

This timely book problematises growing structural housing unaffordability and the lack of affordable housing across the advanced economic world. It offers both a historically and geographically sensitive critique of why we face these issues and struggle to adequately respond, and informed speculation towards addressing this crisis collectively, equitably, and longitudinally.

Utilising a 'Critical-Relational Political Economy' approach, the unaffordability dilemma is linked to converging patterns of cumulative neoliberalising and globalising developments during intense capitalist expansion from the 1970s onwards. Housing unaffordability is not explained by regulatory and planning failures but by a growth model transformation under de-industrialisation, away from labour-inclusive capitalism to city-centric, private landed property-directed political economies. Whereas residential accumulation is characterised by inflationary tendencies, households' capacity to pay for housing largely follows deflationary dynamics. The consequence is politically stimulated, institutionally mediated, and structurally variegated housing-labour decoupling on now epic proportions.

This book will be essential reading for informed audiences interested in housing, spatial planning, economic development, and political economies, as well as questions of social, spatial, and inter-generational justice. Besides researchers, policymakers, and advocates, it will be postgraduate and undergraduate students who will benefit most from compelling crisis (re)framing and original rethinking of affordable futures for people and places.

This book provides a novel, cultural-historical perspective on travel in the ancient world by exploring a wide range of women's (in)voluntary journeys and relocations, such as can be derived from passing references, short sections, and extended narratives found in the early Jewish corpora that remain to us.

The selected sources include a large body of literary texts from the Hebrew Bible, Septuagint, Pseudepigrapha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, and the New Testament, together with some documentary sources indicating the existence of certain types of travel up until early second century CE. They reveal a variety of mobile girls and women such as brides, businesswomen, captives, diplomats, diviners, economic and forced migrants, knowledge-seekers, midwives, musicians, nurses, pilgrims, refugees, sages, (semi)nomads, slaves, tourists, and war leaders. The book delivers a more nuanced notion of the past by challenging and demonstrating the need to move beyond the binary idea of "female stayers" and "male movers." In doing so, it foregrounds a previously overlooked aspect of travel history: female mobility, its many facets and inherent complexity as a sociocultural phenomenon, and its multiple transformational effects.

Women, Travel and Transformation from the Bible to Bar-Kokhba is of interest to students and scholars working on travel history, early Jewish literature, and women in antiquity, as well as those in biblical studies, religious studies, ancient history, and classics.

This book uncovers a largely forgotten early vision of European unity that emerged in Britain before the First World War.

By tracing the remarkable career of Sir Max Waechter (1837-1924), entrepreneur, philanthropist and the British representative of the Nobel brothers' Caspian oil interests, it reveals how British actors were among the earliest in arguing that Europe's growing rivalries could be addressed through closer economic cooperation and political understanding. The study shows that ideas of a federated Europe were already being energetically developed, debated and promoted before 1914.

Central to the book is Waechter's creation of the European Unity League, whose ambitious programme provides a fresh lens to reassess the intellectual and political climate of the pre-war years. Drawing on extensive archival research, the volume reconstructs Waechter's 1906 manifesto to King Edward VII, his extraordinary diplomatic tour across the continent aboard the former Austrian archducal yacht Rovenska and his ability to secure audiences with most reigning heads of state, despite opposition from the Foreign Office. It follows how these efforts led to the 1909 Inaugural Congress of the European Federation in Rome, co-organized with the Italian pacifist Prince di Cassano (1855-1926), and the formal establishment of the League in London in 1913.

Although the outbreak of war curtailed its activities, the League stands as one of the earliest mass movements for European unity, anticipating Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi's better-known interwar Pan-European Union by two decades and a world war.

By situating Waechter's campaign within broader British and European debates about armaments, decline and the future of the continent, the book offers a new understanding of the roots of the European idea and of Britain's unexpected role in shaping it. Written accessibly, it will appeal to readers interested in modern European history, international politics and the life of a visionary yet overlooked figure.

In a nation where more than 3.5 million births occur each year, the experience of giving birth reveals who is valued, who is heard, and who is left behind.

The Perfect Birth Myth offers a sweeping, deeply human exploration of childbirth in the United States, the country with the most highly resourced and costliest maternal healthcare in the world, yet the highest rate of maternal mortality among developed countries. Drawing on decades of experience in maternal health, midwifery, and journalism, Avital Norman Nathman and Deborah Wage weave historical analysis, policy insight, personal narratives, and data from approximately 3,000 people who've given birth to examine the forces shaping American birth culture. From the pursuit of the "perfect birth" and the commercialization of care to the racial and psychological inequities embedded in the system, they reveal how medicalization, racism, and profit-driven policies have eroded autonomy, safety, and dignity in childbirth.

Both expose and call to action, The Perfect Birth Myth reframes birth as an act of justice, community, and self-determination. Readers will emerge with an understanding that instead of pushing for perfection, we should be pushing for equity, respect, and shared humanity.

Digital Health Discourse offers a comprehensive overview of how health and illness are talked about, represented, and negotiated across contemporary digital platforms. Bringing together linguistic, discourse-analytical, and multimodal perspectives, it explores a wide range of digital contexts-including health query interfaces, online support groups, websites, social media, mobile health apps, and patient feedback systems-to reveal how digital technologies shape notions of health knowledge, expertise, responsibility, and care in the digital age.

The textbook foregrounds the role of platform affordances, participation, and design in structuring interaction, while attending closely to broader social forces such as medicalization, commercialization, neoliberalism, and inequality. By combining theoretical discussion with rich, detailed examples from existing research, it equips readers with the conceptual tools needed to critically analyze digital health communication and understand how everyday online interactions not only reflect but continually shape and reshape contemporary health practices.

Through detailed case studies, the book demonstrates how to conduct discourse analyses of interactions that use language and other visual resources, involving both health experts and non-professionals, including those with lived experience. Readers are invited to complete practical tasks designed to inspire their own research into the ever-expanding domains of digital health communication. Essential for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of language and health, health communication, and discourse analysis.

The author examines how the foundations of the discipline have shifted as climate change, sustainability, global food supply and resource allocation gain increasing prominence on political and economic agendas. Demonstrating the profound influence this will have on the theoretical and empirical basis of food economics, he explores the agri-food value chain and specific examples of food industry transformation. Investigating prices, market structures, demand patterns and globalisation trends, chapters are grounded in statistical evidence and illustrated with data that reflects real-world developments. The book provides an updated and renewed description of food economics in light of ongoing changes.

Understanding Food Economics is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of agricultural, food and applied economics. Practitioners and political officials in food ministries and agencies will also benefit from this guide to the challenges and balances currently affecting the industry.

Global experts pair practical examples with theoretical analysis to reflect on contemporary challenges and social issues such as the rise of the gig economy, algorithmic management, climate-related disruptions, poverty and inequality. Chapters engage with diverse case studies from across Africa, Asia and Europe to highlight both universal and regional challenges in achieving sustainable careers and decent work. Contributors also draw from various disciplines to align with broader sustainable development goals and social justice objectives.

The Research Handbook on Decent Work is an essential read for students and academics in sociology, psychology, economics and labour studies. International organisations, NGOs and policymakers in employment relations will equally benefit from the pairing of theoretical frameworks and actionable recommendations.

This expertly curated volume offers groundbreaking explorations for treating people who struggle with these issues, reframing problematic sexual conduct - often labelled "sex addiction" - as complex and often harmful human behaviors rather than as a disease.

Mental health practitioners often have limited resources and few expert mentors to consult when treating patients with out-of-control sexual behaviors (OSCB). With contributions from twenty seasoned clinicians, this book provides nonpathologizing approaches to support diverse sexual health needs and client healing. The writers address common clinical challenges such as erotic difference, existential angst, fidelity, pornography, and internalized shame and discusses the impacts of sexism, racism, and ethnic oppression on individual experiences of sexuality and on patient treatment. Filled with rich and engaging clinical examples, including harm reduction, IFS, couple and group therapy approaches, as well as clinical supervision, this collection equips a wide range of mental health professionals with practical tools to expand their practice.

This book is an essential guidebook for both new and experienced clinicians looking to refine their perspectives, enhance their clinical skills, and foster unbiased, effective treatment for a diverse clientele. Individuals and families affected by OCSB will also find hope and guidance within its pages.

This innovative Research Agenda critically engages with the concept of cultural political economy to explain socio-economic development across different contexts. Emphasizing the role of space, place and scale, an international range of leading experts from multiple social science disciplines apply aspects of cultural political economy to a broad range of research areas.

Drawing from and expanding on a variety of cultural political economy approaches, the Research Agenda explores progressive ways to think about the economy-society-nature nexus. The chapters outline the lifeworlds, semiotic worlds and material worlds constituting economic geographies and demonstrate the connections between discourse, circuits of capital and materialities. The contributors address key themes including global production networks, labour, migration, alternative food imaginaries, global development initiatives, green economy,resource geographies and cultural political ecology, looking ahead to future areas of inquiry in these fields.

A Research Agenda for Cultural Political Economies of Space is a key resource for scholars and students of human geography, business and management, sociology and politics, particularly those with an interest in political economy. The transdisciplinary nature of the approach means these insights will be valuable to researchers across the social sciences.

What role, if any, should AI technologies have in the church and to what end?

In this book, Walter Sisto contends that the sophiological perspective of Father Sergius Bulgakov (1871-1994) lays a path for the church during the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. What distinguishes Bulgakov's theology is not merely his Russian Orthodox sophiological framework, but his prophetic vision for the Church's active engagement with modernity-a vision this book seeks to extend. Building upon Bulgakov's theological thought primarily written during his Paris period, Sisto articulates an Eastern Christian response to cybernetic, life extension, and AI technologies that speaks not only to Eastern Catholics and Orthodox believers, but to all Christians confronting ethical challenges posed by technologies that threaten to redefine human identity and humanity's unique role within creation.

This pioneering workbook developed by expert Muslim Psychologists specialising in chronic pain, uses a cultural/religious adaptation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based clinical intervention for supporting Muslims living with chronic pain.

Through step-by-step practical guides and exercises incorporating spirituality and contemplation, the reader is guided towards using practical tools and strategies to release the struggle of fighting against pain and instead cultivate the psychological flexibility to live better with chronic pain. Drawing on Islamic teachings from the Quran and Sunnah, it nurtures spirituality and encourages readers to embrace acceptance. It inspires a commitment to living in accordance with one's core values, empowering readers to find meaning and purpose even in the face of challenges.

This workbook can be used as a companion to the book titled 'Integrating Acceptance & Commitment Therapy with Islamic Psychotherapy' (Routledge, 2024) for both clinicians in collaboration with their clients or as a standalone workbook for Muslims living with chronic pain.

This book provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the internationalization of education in Japan, examining how national efforts to cultivate global human resources reshape education, labor markets, and social inequality.

Drawing on the concept of transnational human capital and a macro-micro-macro framework, the book brings together contributions that analyze policy discourse, institutional practices, mobility infrastructures, and individual life-course trajectories, demonstrating that internationalization is not a linear or purely policy-driven process, but one deeply embedded in Japan's coordinated institutional context. By examining initiatives to promote internationalization in Japan, it reveals just how their outcomes remain uneven and contingent upon institutional recognition and labor market integration, highlighting that internationalization can both create new opportunities and reinforce existing inequalities. It advances current debates by highlighting the limits of mobility-centered approaches and calling for a shift toward more inclusive, institutionally integrated forms of internationalization that link global experiences to meaningful educational and social outcomes.

Providing nuanced empirical and theoretical insights into the dynamics of globalization in a non-Western context, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of sociology, education, and Japanese studies.

The Greek War of Independence brings together papers from an international conference on the Greek Revolution of 1821, held at Harvard University and the Fletcher School at Tufts University in September 2021. The Greek Revolution marked a pivotal moment in European history: it catalyzed the birth of the modern Greek state, enabled Greeks to reclaim their cultural and national identity after centuries of Ottoman rule, and inspired nationalist movements across the continent.

This volume pursues two primary objectives. First, it situates the Greek Revolution within a broader comparative framework, examining its place among modern revolutionary movements. Second, it illuminates neglected dimensions of the political, historical, and cultural forces that precipitated the Greek uprising against Ottoman rule and shaped its ultimate success. Particular attention is devoted to the formation of the Greek state-a process that represented both the culmination of Greek revolutionary struggle and a reconfiguration of diplomatic, geopolitical, and ideological priorities among the European Great Powers. The volume also explores how this foundational moment in Greek nation-state formation has been received, interpreted, and instrumentalized across diverse political, historical, and ideological contexts from 1821 to the present.

This book is essential reading for scholars and students in modern European history, comparative revolution studies, political science, and Hellenic studies, as well as readers interested in nationalism, state formation, and the enduring legacies of revolutionary movements.

Guiding scholars to think about international education as a field of research as opposed to practice, this book addresses the rapidly evolving, yet increasingly distinct fields of international schooling and the International Baccalaureate (IB), ultimately introducing reflexive practice as an essential framework for research in both areas.

Critically examining how the IB has come to dominate the field and overshadow other models of international education, the book draws on narrative reflections, qualitative data from over 100 doctoral dissertations, and conversations with practitioner-researchers to suggest a basis for greater reflexivity within international research practices. Chapters analyse international schools and IB programmes across private and state contexts as sites of research, discuss multiculturalism and IB research in global contexts, and highlight unique ethical considerations when conducting international research. Drawing on this analysis, the book equips researchers with practical techniques and guiding questions for navigating the field.

Calling for a reassessment of the relationship between the IB and international schools, this book will be invaluable for doctoral students in the field of education research methods, as well as international and comparative education. Established scholars and academics involved in reflexivity, along with schools and schooling more broadly will also find the volume of use.
