(P/B) THE ARAB REVOLUTION
TEN LESSONS FROM THE DEMOCRATIC UPRISING
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0100

The democratic uprising throughout the Arab world is proving how wrong we were to accept either dictatorship or Islamism as the only political alternatives. Lessons are already being learnt from this grassroots process, even while it is in the making. Above all, when it comes to freedom and justice, there is definitely no Arab exceptionalism. Social networks have been crucial in empowering a leaderless movement, where the generational factor is striking. The Facebook-savvy globalised youngsters from the urban middle class are key, but it ...

(P/B) TORMENTED BY HISTORY
NATIONALISM IN GREECE AND TURKEY
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0078

Tormented by History is the first comparative study of nationalism in Greece and Turkey. Grounded in an extensive critical review of the popular and scholarly historiography and literature on Greek and Turkish nationalisms, it traces the emergence and development of the Greek and Turkish nationalist projects over the past two hundred years, challenging the received wisdom about the inevitability of the rise of a 'Greek' and a 'Turkish' nation. Acknowledging the complexity of the relationship between the two nationalisms, Ozkirimli and Sofo...

(P/B) IONIAN VISION
GREECE IN ASIA MINOR, 1919-22
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0097

Michael Llewellyn-Smith sets the Greek occupation of Smyrna and the war in Anatolia against the background of Greece's 'Great Idea' and of great power rivalries in the Near East. He traces the origins of the Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos's 'Ionian Vision' to his joint conception with David Lloyd George of an Anglo-Greek entente in the Eastern Mediterranean. This narrative text presents a comprehensive account of the disaster which has shaped the politics and society of modern Greece. (From the publisher)...

(H/B) SAYYID QUTB AND THE ORIGINS OF RADICAL ISLAMISM
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0112

Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966) was an influential Egyptian ideologue credited with establishing the theoretical basis for radical Islamism in the post colonial Sunni Muslim world. Lacking a pure understanding of the leader's life and work, the popular media has conflated Qutb's moral purpose with the aims of bin Laden and al-Qaeda. He is often portrayed as a terrorist, Islamo-Fascist, and advocate of murder. This book rescues Qutb from misrepresentation, tracing the evolution of his thought within the context of his time. An expert on social prot...

(P/B) GREECE
THE MODERN SEQUEL - FROM 1821 TO THE PRESENT
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0016

This historical essay explores Greece in the 1990s. It seeks to illuminate vital aspects of the Greek phenomenon using themes such as politics, institutions, society, ideology, foreign policy, geography and culture. Founding principles, the inspiration of the founding fathers, are juxtaposed with indigenous norms and practices, and the outcome of the tension between opposing forces are assessed. This commentary on issues raised about Greece in the last decade of the 20th century challenges the established notions and stereotypes that disfi...

(P/B) INSIDE GREEK TERRORISM
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0101

The long story of Greek terrorism was meant to have ended in the summer of 2002 with the collapse of the country's premier terrorist organisation and one of Europe's longest-running gangs, the notorious 17 November group (17N). However, rather than demoralising and emasculating the country's armed struggle movement, the dismantling of 17N and the imprisonment of its members led to the emergence of new urban guerrilla groups and an upsurge in and intensification of revolutionary violence. Given the sheer longevity of the 17N terrorist exper...

(H/B) CITIZEN HARIRI
LEBANON'S NEO-LIBERAL RECONSTRUCTION
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0109

Rafiq Hariri was Lebanon's Silvio Berlusconi: a 'self-made' billionaire who became prime minister and shaped postwar reconstruction. His assassination in February 2005 almost tipped the country into civil strife. Yet Hariri was neither a militia leader nor from a traditional political family. How did this outsider rise to wield such immense political and economic power? Citizen Hariri shows how the billionaire converted his wealth and close ties to the Saudi monarchy into political power. Hariri is used as a prism to examine how changes i...

(H/B) INTERLOPERS OF EMPIRE
THE LEBANESE DIASPORA IN COLONIAL FRENCH WEST AFRICA
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0108

This work is the first comprehensive history of the Lebanese migrant communities of colonial French West Africa, a vast expanse that covered present-day Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Guinea, Benin and Mauritania. Where others have concentrated on the commercial activities of these migrants, casting them as archetypal middlemen, this work reconstructs not just their economic strategies, but also their social and political lives. Moreover, it examines the fraught responses of colonial Frenchmen to the unsettling presence of these interlopers...

(P/B) REVOLT IN SYRIA
EYE-WITNESS TO THE UPRISING
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0099

In January 2011 President Bashar al-Assad told the Wall Street Journal that Syria was 'stable' and immune from revolt. In the months that followed, and as regimes fell in Egypt and Tunisia, thousands of Syrians took to the streets calling for freedom, with many dying at the hands of the regime. In Revolt in Syria: Eye-Witness to the Uprising, Stephen Starr delves deep into the lives of Syrians whose destiny has been shaped by the state for almost fifty years. In conversations with people from all strata of Syrian society, Starr draws toget...

(P/B) EUROPE IN MODERN GREEK HISTORY
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0105

'Europe', 'Europeanness' and 'European' have been important themes in the history of modern Greece, from the establishment of the new state in 1832 to the sovereign debt crisis of 2010. 'Europe' has served as key reference points in questions of identity, progress, capability, legitimation and strategic interest. Indeed, few nations have experienced 'Europe' with such intensity, reacted with so much angst, and witnessed effects of such consequence. Now, in the context of two financial bail- outs and the imposition of tough austerity measur...

(P/B) THE BALKAN EXCHANGE OF MINORITIES AND ITS IMPACT ON GREECE
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0013

The defeat of the Greek armies in Asia Minor in August 1922, led directly to the flight of Greek refugees from Asia Minor, the compulsory exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey and the resettlement in Greece of 1.3 million displaced people. This text covers this impact. (From the publisher)...

(H/B) THE CHINESE QUESTION IN CENTRAL ASIA
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0107

Since the start of the 2000s, the People's Republic of China has become an increasingly important player on the Central Asian scene, both diplomatically and strategically, in particular through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. At the economic level, China has positioned itself among the largest traders and investors in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. This growing Chinese presence has drastically challenged the traditional influence of Russia and weakened that of the United States and Europe. This boo...

(P/B) OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0103

In his third book, David Kilcullen takes us out of the mountains: away from the remote, rural guerrilla warfare of Afghanistan, and into the marginalised slums and complex security threats of the world's coastal cities, where almost 75 per cent of us will be living by mid-century. Scrutinising major environmental trends - population growth, coastal urbanisation - and increasing digital connectivity, he projects a future of feral cities, urban systems under stress, and increasing overlaps between crime and war, internal and external threats...

(H/B) CONCEPTUALISING MODERN WAR
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0090

Carl von Clausewitz likened war to a chameleon, highlighting the changing character of war as a social phenomenon. War is changing. But how? And in what direction (if any)? This is a book about the attempts to understand the changes in war and warfare. These attempts are reflected in the creation of new terms to define war, new categories in which to understand war, and new concepts of warfare through which to win it. The end of the Cold War created a new situation-within a few years, western states found themselves fighting wars in more o...

(P/B) IN SEARCH OF THE BALKAN RECOVERY
THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC REEMERGENCE OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0102

In the early '90s the Balkans was rocked by the collapse of communism and the violent break-up of Yugoslavia. But the last decade has seen a transformation of South-Eastern Europe into one of the most dynamic emerging markets in the world. This book explains how the political scene has moved from conflict to cooperation, and how the economic recovery has been driven by growing investment and trade opportunities. The book explains why Yugoslavia broke up so violently and how other Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Romania and Albania) also went t...

(H/B) HOLY IGNORANCE
WHEN RELIGION AND CULTURE PART WAYS
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0095

Olivier Roy, world-renowned authority on Islam and politics, finds in the modern disconnection between faith communities and socio-cultural identities a fertile space for fundamentalism to grow. Instead of freeing the world from religion, secularization has encouraged a kind of holy ignorance to take root, an anti-intellectualism that promises immediate, emotional access to the sacred and positions itself in direct opposition to contemporary pagan culture. The secularisation of society was supposed to free people from religion, yet individ...

(P/B) MINORITIES IN GREECE
ASPECTS OF A PLURAL SOCIETY
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0005

Greece has traditionally been one of the most ethnically and religiously homogenous countries in the Balkans. In the last census to record religious affiliation and mother tongue, that of 1951, 97 per cent of the population gave their religion as Orthodox Christian and 95 per cent their mother tongue as Greek. Yet there are small religious, linguistic and ethnic minorities in Greece, and the decade of the 1990s witnessed a large influx into the country of foreigners, mostly from Eastern Europe, amounting to as much as 10 per cent of the na...

(P/B) THE STRUGGLE FOR GREECE, 1941-1949
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0015

A study of the communist struggle for Greece between 1941 and 1949. The author based his research on interviews with participants, documentary sources and his own experience. He analyses the characters, ideologies and events, demonstrating that the struggle unfolded in three rounds. As commander of the Allied Military Mission to the Greek guerrillas in Greece in 1943-4, C.M. Woodhouse has to hold an uneasy balance between the communist and government sides. Against a background of conflicting communist doctrine, shifting foreign alliances...

(H/B) OTTOMANS INTO EUROPEANS
STATE AND INSTITUTION-BUILDING IN SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0096

While many histories of the Balkans have been published, some very good and others poor, there is as yet no history of institutions in the Balkans. This is what the contributors to Ottomans into Europeans offer the reader: a history of the most salient political institutions of the region: bureaucracies, judiciaries, democratic elections, free media, local and central government - and their frequently strained relations with traditional institutions. They also examine the selection, evolution, and performance of institutions in the post-Ot...
