Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The revolution in Ukraine was flagged off by the Maidan demonstrations in Kiev towards the end of 2013. The demonstrations in support of an expanded European Union, the ouster of President Yanukovich and the release of the Opposition leader Yulia Timoshenko initially seemed to have international mandate. The issue of territorial sovereignty of Crimea following Russian military intervention raised alarm in global circles. The referendum about Crimea`s acquiescence to Russia was considered to be questionable. For some Crimean Tatars, a renewed Russian presence in Crimea was a grim reminder of Soviet collectivization and deportation. In the immediate aftermath of the Maidan demonstrations, Soviet memories were revived and post-Soviet contradictions unfolded. Gradually however, the West`s expose of Russia`s intentions in eastern Ukraine tended to be overbearing. Quite clearly, larger issues were at stake. This volume is the product of some of these discussions that were initiated by participants of the symposium Ukraine: Protest and Its Aftermath organised by Maulana Azad Institute on 27 November 2014. The idea was to bring to the table a larger spectrum of ideas about Ukraine as a game-changer in global politics. The question that has been addressed here is not merely the political impasse in Ukraine and how Kiev and anti-Kiev forces were pitted against one another or whether the Maidan protests have a lingering effect in Eurasia. The purpose is to understand the dynamics of a post-Soviet space. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in the Buddhist tradition of Asia which has percolated into the realm of Buddhist studies in India. There is a gamut of ideas that focuses on the philosophical content of Buddhism and also on Buddhist texts. But Buddhism as a component of the cultural milieu and as a living tradition of Northeast India has not been integrated into mainstream Buddhist Studies in India. However, there seems to be considerable interest in the field outside-in the wide spectrum of Buddhist linkages often spread over maritime waters in the Bay of Bengal region. This volume On the trail of Buddhism in Asia: Reflections on Tradition and Practice seeks to integrate such ideas about Buddhism`s aesthetic appeal, its regional interpenetrations and diverse traditions. The purpose here is not only to outline Buddhist presence in the Himalayan space and in the maritime belt of South East Asia but also to examine the relevance of Buddhism in the era of globalisation reflecting concerns about habitat, environment and heritage.

Since Soviet disintegration there have been varied perceptions about Eurasias transition Initially attention was focused on the changes that became obvious in politics and society and peoples orientation towards change Gradually there was a re-appraisal of the transformation that occurred and attempts were made to identify the genesis of change in the Soviet era Post-Soviet thinking metamorphosed into a realistic appraisal of the continuities rather than the discontinuities of the two periods It is this duality of transition that has been focused upon in the book Communities Institutions and Transition in post-1991 Eurasia The contributions in the volume convey the central theme that transition in Eurasia is a continuing and expanding discourse about space and identity 494 pp.
