Show moreHow do crises produce changes in specific European Union foreign policy areas, and how should we conceptualise these policy changes?This book provides a novel analytical framework that serves to investigate the way in which the EU changes its foreign policy after crisis. Ikani adapts the existing theorising of foreign policy change to a single framework applicable to the EU context, providing readers with a toolbox to both explain the process of change and measure the policy change that follows. The framework is developed through an investigation of two important EU foreign policy change episodes, taking place after the Arab uprisings and the Ukraine conflict, and test- driven in three recent cases of EU foreign policy change after crisis.

Show moreThe Oxford Turkish Grammar is aimed at everyone interested in the Turkish language. Itsmulti-pronged approach (descriptive, explanatory, systematic, comprehensive) ensures thatit can be used both as a ‘learners’ grammar’ for an undergraduate or postgraduate studentaudience and as a reference grammar by scholars interested in details not available in otherpublications. The general public and scholars alike welcome any new grammar on Turkishto highlight new insights and approaches to teaching, and above all, to identify new andimproved explanations about particular grammatical features. Turkish is, after all, aninteresting language with some special properties that render it somewhat baffling at firstto speakers of unrelated languages such as English. Show less

Show moreThrough a series of rich photographs, Art of Captivity / Arte del Cautiverio tells a compelling story about the war on drugs in Central America. Entirely bilingual in both English and Spanish, the book focuses on the country of Guatemala, now the principle point of transit for the cocaine that is produced in the Andes and bound for the United States and Canada. Alongside a spike in the use of crack cocaine, Guatemala City has witnessed the proliferation of Pentecostal drug rehabilitation centers. The centers are sites of abuse and torment, but also lifesaving institutions in a country that does not provide any other viable social service to those struggling with drug dependency. Art of Captivity / Arte del Cautiverio explores these centers as architectural forms, while also showcasing the cultural production that takes place inside them, including drawings and letters created by those held captive. This stunning work of visual ethnography humanizes those held inside these centers, breaks down stereotypes about drug use, and sets the conditions for a hemispheric conversation about prohibitionist practices - by revealing intimate portraits of a population held hostage by a war on drugs.
