This book poses a provocative question: what happens when academic writing is imported not just as a skill set, but…
as an ideology, one that dictates whose knowledge counts, which languages belong, and how scholarly voice should sound? Focusing on English-medium instruction (EMI) universities in Central Asia, the book reimagines academic writing as a social practice rooted in power, identity, and institutional histories. Across chapters, contributors examine how students and educators negotiate imported norms, develop scholarly voice, and contest epistemic hierarchies through feedback, supervision, and writing groups. Rather than adopting global prescriptions, the book foregrounds local pedagogies, culturally embedded challenges, and creative responses to writing in EMI university contexts. As one of the first regionally grounded academic literacies volumes in Central Asia, this book offers essential insights for scholars of writing development, decolonial education, and the politics of knowledge production in global higher education reform.

book examines Nigeria’s survival and its implications on international security. It uses the Nigerian case to contribute to a broader understanding of how great powers relate with small powers, such as most African states.

This book comprehensively examines the European Union (EU) judiciary’s approach to international sanctions, drawing on recent case law from the…
Court of Justice and the General Court. It addresses the procedural framework governing judicial review, alongside a substantive evaluation of restrictive measures in terms of their legality and conformity with fundamental rights and procedural guarantees.As a cornerstone of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), restrictive measures, particularly international sanctions, serve as the Union’s primary tool for addressing actions that conflict with its core values. Today, the EU stands as a leading global authority on sanctions, both through implementing United Nations Security Council measures and through independently enacted, autonomous sanctions. These complex mechanisms, blending preventive and punitive approaches, impose financial freezes, sector-specific embargoes, and various restrictions targeting governments, legal entities, and individuals outside the EU. Providing a detailed analysis of how these measures intersect with repressive administrative and criminal law, the book sheds light on the judicial balance between effective enforcement and the protection of fundamental rights. Examining both technical legal issues and broader principles of justice and human rights, the book includes recommendations for refining restrictive measures within the EU.This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of EU law, international security, and human rights, offering a nuanced understanding of the judicial review processes that shape the EU’s sanctioning powers.

Why does political life in Iran feel so deeply tragic—despite the country’s abundant resources, youthful population, and rich cultural history?…
In this groundbreaking book, Mahdi Ahouie explores how the cultural ideal of honor (ezzat) has come to dominate Iranian political imagination, fueling a tragic pattern of defiance, resistance, and unresolved suffering that shapes both domestic experience and foreign policy.Bridging psychoanalytic theory with cultural analysis, Ahouie draws on the work of Freud and Lacan to argue that honor in Iranian politics operates as a tragic fantasy: a narrative structure that seeks to compensate for the denial of international recognition, but instead reproduces cycles of antagonism and self-destruction. Through detailed analysis of four influential media productions—from war documentaries and action movies to family dramas and satirical comedies—the book shows how honor is performed, contested, and internalized within Iran’s popular culture. These works become mirrors of a society caught between a yearning for civilizational grandeur and the trauma of historical humiliation.Timely, original, and theoretically rich, Politics of Honor and Tragedy in Iran offers a vital lens into the country’s political psyche. As tensions between Iran and the United States escalate once again—raising the specter of open conflict—this book sheds urgent light on the deeper cultural and psychological structures driving Iranian political behavior.The book will appeal to scholars and students of Middle Eastern studies, cultural theory, psychoanalysis, and international politics, as well as general readers seeking to understand the emotional logic behind Iran’s domestic struggles and its turbulent relationship with the world.

Bisclavret seems a perfect knight: bold, strong, and merciful. But he keeps his secrets close, and the king's longings are not for counsel alone. As his fascination grows, the barriers between them multiply, until one day Bisclavret vanishes beyond reach. Battling desperation and grief, the king stands alone to face the greatest threats to his kingdom, with only duty to his people between him and ruin - duty, and the steadfast loyalty of the strangest wolf . . .Steeped in the texture of its source material and rendered with a precision of language that feels intimate and timeless, The Wolf and His King will transport you to a fireside - unmissable for fans of Samantha Shannon and Madeline Miller.

world. Many countries have adopted holistic admissions practices, and some have used them for incoming students for over two decades, but these developments have been rarely noted in policy and media discussions about university admissions. Chapters in this volume explore the similar challenges global institutions face related to college access, admissions transparency, and the potential for corruption, and how their admissions practices affect equity, access, and student diversity. Translating a body of existing transnational research, this volume provides strategies that higher education scholars, policymakers, and practitioners can use to improve admissions practices and policies in global contexts.

'I believe it is an ethical imperative for all clinicians who treat women in menopause or women with breast cancer…
to alert their patients to this book' Michael Baum, MD, Professor Emeritus of Surgery and visiting professor of Medical Humanities, University College London'A thorough, careful and unbiased assessment . . . This extremely valuable message deserves to be widely disseminated' Lord Turnberg, former President of the Royal College of PhysiciansA compelling defence of hormone replacement therapy, exposing the faulty science behind its fall from prominence and empowering readers to make informed decisions about their health. For years, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was hailed as a miracle. Study after study showed that HRT, if initiated at the onset of menopause, could ease symptoms ranging from hot flushes to memory loss; reduce the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and some cancers; and even extend a woman's overall life expectancy. But when a large study by the Women's Health Initiative announced results showing an uptick in breast cancer among women taking HRT, the winds shifted abruptly, and HRT, officially deemed a carcinogen, was abandoned.Now, sixteen years after HRT was left for dead, Dr Bluming, a medical oncologist, and Dr Tavris, a social psychologist, track its strange history and present a compelling case for its resurrection. They investigate what led the public - and much of the medical establishment - to accept the Women's Health Initiative's often exaggerated claims, while also providing a fuller picture of the science that supports HRT. A sobering and revelatory read, Oestrogen Matters sets the record straight on this beneficial treatment and provides an empowering path to wellness for women everywhere.
