Sinossi

Divergent Traditions examines a critical question: Is societal progress faltering as traditional values decline without adequate replacements from the modern order? The book explores the erosion of established norms and the shortcomings of modern ideologies, focusing on how this divergence impacts societal well-being.

The decline of traditional social structures, such as family and community, is examined alongside the rise of new ideologies, questioning whether these new frameworks truly address the needs previously met by tradition. This analysis considers the resulting societal fragmentation, where shared values become elusive, hindering collective action.

The book argues that our current era is not a simple transition from old to new, but a period of "divergence" leading to a loss of social capital and increased polarization. Drawing from historical and social science perspectives, the book presents a nuanced understanding of tradition, acknowledging its limitations while also recognizing its functional roles. For instance, the decline in civic engagement and intergenerational knowledge transfer are explored as specific examples of eroding traditions.

Beginning with a framework for understanding tradition and modernity, the book progresses through case studies and analyses of contemporary ideologies. It supports its arguments with sociological surveys, historical analysis, and case studies, offering a balanced assessment of both tradition and modernity. Divergent Traditions provides valuable insights for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the challenges facing contemporary societies, particularly those concerned about social cohesion and political polarization.

Anxiety - A Very Short Introduction

Jason Freeman, Daniel Freeman

Are we born with our fears or do we learn them? Why do our fears persist? What purpose does anxiety serve? How common are anxiety disorders, and which treatments are most effective? What's happening in our brain when we feel fear? And what are Colombian worry dolls? 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction draws on the best scientific research to offer a highly accessible explanation of what anxiety is, why it is such a normal and vital part of our emotional life, and the key factors that cause it. Insights are drawn from psychology, neuroscience, genetics, epidemiology, and clinical trials. Providing a fascinating illustration of the discussion are two interviews conducted specifically for the book, with the actor, writer, director, and television presenter Michael Palin and former England football manager Graham Taylor.

The Cascade Effect of Migration...

Anna Fausta Scardigno, Martina...

This volume offers a rigorous and interdisciplinary exploration of how the European Union's externalization of migration governance has reshaped territorial, political, and human landscapes at its periphery. Tracing the aftermath of the 2015 migration crisis, the volume examines how informal agreements with Turkey, Libya, Tunisia, and Albania initiated a cascading logic that normalizes legal opacity, erodes accountability, and institutionalizes human rights violations. Moving beyond legal and geopolitical critique, the book investigates the entanglement of migration containment with tourism development in border regions such as Lampedusa and Lesvos, exposing how these territories become doubly burdened as sites of both securitization and commodification. By engaging with law, postcolonial theory, and critical tourism studies, the authors reveal the neo-colonial dynamics underlying EU mobility governance and advance alternative models grounded in accountability, territorial justice, and the defense of fundamental rights.

Saints and Soldiers - Inside...

Rita Katz

More than a decade ago, counterterrorism expert Rita Katz began browsing white supremacist and neo-Nazi forums. The hateful rhetoric and constant threats of violence immediately reminded her of jihadist militants, but law enforcement and policy makers barely paid attention to the Far Right. Now, years of attacks committed by extremists radicalized online—including mass murders at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, as well as the Capitol siege—have brought home the danger. How has the internet shaped today's threats, and what do the online origins of these movements reveal about how to stop them? 
 
 
 
In Saints and Soldiers, Katz reveals a new generation of terrorist movements that don't just use the internet, but exist almost entirely on it. She provides a vivid view from the trenches, spanning edgy video game chat groups to mainstream social media platforms to what ISIS and Far-Right mass-shooters in El Paso, Orlando, and elsewhere unwittingly reveal between the lines of their manifestos. Katz shows how the online cultures of these movements create today's terrorists and shape how they commit "real world" violence. From ISIS to QAnon, Saints and Soldiers pinpoints the approaches needed for a new era in which arrests and military campaigns alone cannot stop these never-before-seen threats.
