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 ¥40,832.- (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.

Demaria, Federico / Vico, Daniele / Gabard, L. F. (eds.), 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 ¥40,832.- (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

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 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.

This book explores recent drivers of Asia' growth and economic development. The analysis is based on a database created by the authors. It covers a large number of economies, including 39 from Asia for the period 1990-2020.The database and the analysis in the book use novel indicators of development. It is structured along four areas: productivity and structural change, global value chains (GVCs), economic complexity, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The book offers insights into current economic performance and future prospects. It shows great heterogeneity across the region, highlighting a range of development experiences. Each chapter contains an accessible methodological section of the concepts used, explaining the construction of indicators and how they should be interpreted. The book will interest scholars of Asian economics, structural transformation, productivity, GVCs, complexity, and 4IR studies. The publicly available database will also appeal to policymakers and researchers interested in data analysis.
