Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this powerful and provocative book, Prasenjit Duara uses the case of Manchukuo, the Japanese puppet state in northeast China from 1932-1945, to explore how such antinomies as imperialism and nationalism, modernity and tradition, and governmentality and exploitation interacted in the post-World War I period. His study of Manchukuo, which had a population of 40 million and was three times the area of Japan, catalyzes a broader understanding of new global trends that characterized much of the twentieth century. Asking why Manchukuo so desperately sought to appear sovereign, Duara examines the cultural and political resources it mobilized to make claims of sovereignty. He argues that Manchukuo, as a transparently constructed 'nation-state,' offers a unique historical laboratory for examining the utilization and transformation of circulating global forces mediated by the 'East Asian modern.' Sovereignty and AUthenticity not only shows how Manchukuo drew technologies of modern nationbuilding from China and Japan, but it provides a window into how some of these techniques and processes were obscured or naturalized in the more successful East Asian nation-states. With its sweepingly original theoretical and comparative perspectives on nationalism and imperialism, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in contemporary history.…

Man as an important biotic component of the ecosystem depends on his environment for sustenance. Various human activities resulted into many changes in the quality of air water and land. These changes in turn have produced detrimental effects on the whole ecosystem. This book contains articles that discuss the causes and effects of such environmental changes. Human concern about the environment at the international level got a concrete shape in 1972 at the United Nations Conference at Stockholm. In the same year United Nations Environment Programme came into being with the mission to Provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. Since then in the following three and a half decades efforts have been taken on different levels to conserve nature and natural resources. This book also provides information of various strategies needed for proper environmental management aiming towards sustainable development. 200 pp.…

Hardbound. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Problems of governance in colonial India : elite and subaltern responses. 3. Governing West Bengal, 1947-67. 4. The interregnum, 1967-77. 5. Governing West Bengal, 1977-96. 6. Conclusion. Select bibliography. Index. "India's problems of governance may be located in the disjunction between the Indian crowds, mobilized during the national liberation movement, and their post-independence political institutions. Reconstruction of the polity by India's elites after independence was, arguably, an extension of colonial arrangements of power and authority. Governing strategies that had emerged during India's national liberation movement, however, were more often than not equipped with visions of an alternative political system as these had evolved as subaltern movements at the level of the everyday material conditions of colonial repression. But emergent subaltern actors were either manipulated or subverted by India's nationalist elites whose imagination of the Indian state-nation was not comprehensively counter hegemonic. This was because their worldview was largely an extension of the Eurocentric colonial discourse. "This work argues that an appropriate level of popular support may be ensured by entrenchment of popular institutions with which their end-users can identify themselves. This is essential for the legitimacy of any political system. Any roadmap for further research in this area may incorporate the neoinstitutional model of analysis employed in this work to explain problems of governance in an era of globalization and the 123 pp.…
