The Emergence of the Nobility in East Central Europe between the Eighth and Thirteenth Centuries explores the formation and evolution…
of medieval elites in the frontier and peripheral regions of the Frankish/East Frankish Empire and East Central Europe between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. It addresses the dynamics of elite emergence during a transformative era marked by the interaction of established centres and developing borderlands. By focusing on regions such as Saxony, Poland, the Baltic, Bavaria, Carinthia, the Czech lands, Great Moravia, Hungary, and Croatia, the book offers a geographically broad perspective on the mechanisms of power and social hierarchy in early and high medieval Europe.This book presents the results of comparative research into how elite status was constructed and legitimised, investigating whether this occurred through centralised imposition or organic processes of alliance-building, gift exchange and negotiation. It draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice to analyse the economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital that defined elite status. The volume also considers the influences of indigenous development versus cultural transfer in shaping elite identities and practices. Each contribution offers a case study or regional focus, collectively illustrating both shared patterns and local specificities in elite transformation across centuries.Targeted at scholars and students of medieval archaeology and history, this interdisciplinary work is equally relevant to researchers interested in social structures, cultural exchange and political power in premodern Europe. Its synthesis of theory, comparative methodology and empirical data makes it a valuable resource for both academic study and future research on elite formation in medieval frontier societies.

Commentators today generally agree that we are at an inflection point in the history of capitalism. This economic system in…
its long-regnant neoliberal form—privileging free international trade, promoting the transnational movement of capital and labor, and advocating a limited role for the state—has faltered, if not failed, and needs to be superseded by a new political-economic architecture that accommodates pressing concerns relating to national security, climate change, inequality and equity, and resiliency among others. Few serious writers are calling for capitalism to be razed, as this system has proven far superior to others in generating wealth and providing higher living standards. Moreover, since its emergence centuries ago, capitalism has proved highly adaptable, able to survive, even to thrive, in both hospitable and inhospitable circumstances and surroundings, often in the face of stiff competition and outright opposition.In Challenging Capitalism, an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars addresses some of the likely challenges of a new political-economic order that minimizes capitalism’s deficiencies without impeding unduly its ability to facilitate and support wealth creation and human flourishing. An introductory chapter traces the development of capitalism as an economic system and identifies the three major eras in the modern version of capitalism. This chapter sets the stage for a baker’s dozen chapters that examine important features and forms of the dominant economic system, including racial capitalism, platform capitalism, surveillance capitalism, authoritarian capitalism, and stakeholder capitalism. The authors approach capitalism and its future from different angles and from a variety of ideological perspectives, offering keen insights into the capitalist paths we have traveled, our position today, and the road or roads ahead.The book is essential reading for anyone interested in capitalism from across the social sciences and humanities, including political economy, sociology, history, political science, public policy, and economics.

This book explores China’s unique approach to tackling poverty. Blending economic, social, political, cultural, and environmental strategies, it offers fresh…
insights into tackling poverty in all its forms.Viewing poverty as a complex social phenomenon, the author first categorises the root causes of poverty in China into five types. In order to combat poverty, China has implemented various measures, including institutional reforms, infrastructure expansion, population relocation, and targeted support for ethnic groups. The focus has shifted from solutions dependent on external aid to a self-sustaining approach that empowers individuals and communities. The book documents China’s experience of eradicating poverty with the support of social networks in rural areas, including cooperatives, mutual funds and community-based organisations, and illustrates how isolated individuals were transformed into cohesive groups capable of sustainable development. It also emphasises the importance of institutional innovation, cultural revitalisation, and social organisation for achieving long-term poverty reduction. Drawing on China’s experience, the study provides a valuable framework for addressing global poverty and strategies for tackling its complex manifestations.This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and policymakers studying development, international development, economics, political economy, and China’s experience of poverty governance.

The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual foods. Whereas spoilage…
can usually be determined through a simple organoleptic assessment, the judgment of whether a food is fit for human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards, many of which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead, the inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling information to evaluate the potential health risk. Now fully updated and expanded in this second edition, Food Safety and Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and describes common hazards associated with each, using published peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk.With the adulteration of foods becoming an increasing problem, and the complexity of the food supply chain an understanding of risk points to allow targeted inspection and assessment is required. This book offers solutions to this as well as new chapters and material that centres on specialist products and processes that are challenging to inspect, including charcuterie, sous vide and allergen contamination. This practically minded book is designed to support the role of food inspection in the modern food industry.This book is an essential read for anyone interested in studying for certification to become a food inspector and those studying food safety courses at university or in practice.

This book offers a compelling exploration of Margaret Thatcher's approach to European integration during the years of her premiership, providing…
a nuanced portrait of one of the most fascinating and influential political figures of recent decades.Drawing on extensive archival research and featuring excerpts from speeches, private papers, statements, and interviews, this study reevaluates Thatcher’s European legacy by revealing the complex evolution of her European policy during the 11 years of her premiership (1979-1990). Challenging conventional narratives, Zanetti deconstructs the image of Thatcher as the master of British Euroscepticism and precursor to Brexit, arguing instead that she was an asset to European integration – although in her own terms. Her approach was fundamentally guided by her primary role as British Prime Minister, adapting both rhetoric and action to secure national interests while engaging pragmatically with the European Community. Throughout her premiership, Thatcher consistently chose to fight difficult and unpopular battles on the European stage, positioning herself as a passionate and constructive critic whose vision for Europe’s future was often divergent from that of other European leaders.This work will appeal to students and scholars of European integration, British political history, and international relations, as well as anyone seeking to more accurately understand the complex relationship between Thatcherism and Brexit.
