how China and Russia Reshape the World
2022 || Paperback || Rob de Wijk || Amsterdam University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

But as Rob de Wijk shows in this book, power politics very much remains a force on the international scene.

Conflict and Cooperation
2022 || Paperback || Frans-Willem Korsten || Amsterdam University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
The common saying is that people have a culture. This book argues that people live a culture – which may explain why they are so affectively attached to it. By considering cultural interactions on a global scale, this book investigates how cultures can be understood in terms of conflict and cooperation, in relation to the nationstate, a multiplicity of worlds, society, civilization and community. It considers how culture is at the basis of the construction of individual and collective selve...
