Sinopse

Putin Era explores Vladimir Putin's complex leadership and its profound impact on Russia and global geopolitics. The book examines how Putin redefined Russia's identity and its role on the world stage, focusing on authoritarian consolidation, neo-imperial ambitions, and information warfare. It provides crucial historical context, tracing the roots of Putin's policies back to the Soviet Union's collapse and Russia's historical pursuit of great power status. Understanding Putin's leadership is essential due to its influence on energy markets and international security. The book argues that Putin's leadership marks a departure from post-Soviet ideals, characterized by a blend of nationalism and a strategic pursuit of geopolitical influence. Beginning with Putin's formative experiences, it analyzes his power consolidation within Russia and investigates Russia's foreign policy, including interventions in neighboring countries and the use of cyber warfare. Ultimately, Putin Era assesses Putin's legacy and the long-term implications of his policies for Russia and the international order, offering a nuanced understanding of his motivations and strategies.

The Individualization of War -...

Jennifer Welsh, David Rodin,...

The rights and responsibilities of the individual are at the center of today's armed conflicts in a way that they have never been before. This process of "individualization," which challenges the primacy of the sovereign state, is driven by normative developments related to human rights that have elevated human-centric conceptions of security and created a new class of international crimes, as well as by technological and strategic developments that can both empower individuals as military actors and enable either the targeting or protection of particular individuals. 
 
 
 
The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes. This book presents a novel conceptualization of the phenomenon of individualization, including how it is both practiced and contested. It then convenes a set of leading thinkers from the fields of moral philosophy, international law, and international relations to further our understanding of not only how individualization is manifest in armed conflict—in theory and in practice—but also how it generates tensions and challenges for today's scholars and practitioners.

Our Voices From The Heart

Patricia Anderson AO, Professor...

A behind-the-scenes book about the Uluru Statement From The Heart, from the co-chairs of the Uluru Dialogue, Professor Megan Davis and Patricia Anderson, AO.

The Australian story began long before the arrival of the First Fleet.
We Australians all know this.
We have always known this.
Australia finds itself standing on the edge of a 60,000-year-old precipice. The Uluru Statement From The Heart respectfully asks for First Nations people to finally be given a Voice - but what path led us here?
The story of the twelve Regional Dialogues and the Uluru National Constitutional Convention has never been told. It is a yarn borne from centuries of struggle, full of vision, determination and courage. These community gatherings, led and attended by fifteen hundred everyday First Peoples, represent the largest ever consultation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in history. The unanimous result was the Uluru Statement From The Heart, and its call for Voice and Makarrata.
Our Voices From The Heart is the official celebration of the grassroots campaign that guided us to this inspiring moment in Australia's history. It is a profound call to action for the nation, but is also an offering of peace and unity that recognises the past and reconciles it with the truth.
Filled with powerful never-before-seen photography and helpful information to share with friends and family alike, this book charts the world's oldest living civilisation's ongoing fight for constitutional recognition and is destined to become a treasured keepsake for years to come.
It's time, Australia. History is calling.
