【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Peace, Power, And The United Nations A Security System For The Twentyfirst Century【電子書籍】[ Joseph P Lorenz ]

＜p＞"The notion that every state has an interest in the territorial integrity of every other state-no matter how distant they are and how slight their connections-is peculiar to the twentieth century. To be sure, poets and philosophers had perceived humanity's common interest in preventing wars, and statesmen had found that aggression from outside the community could be deterred by the mutual defense of those within it. But no one had ever tried to organize an all-embracing system that used the collective force of its members to prevent one of them from attacking another.＜br /＞ It took the wide devastation of two world wars-and the failure of the balance-of-power systems that preceded them-to instigate the search for a more effective way to manage power. To the founders of the League of Nations and the United Nations there was nothing extravagant about the idea that peace is indivisible. Their countries had been drawn into wars that were largely not of their making: They had learned that to control their destinies they must act early, with others, to keep the peace. It is this core of national self-interest that drives collective security. If the system works at any moment in history, it is because its members believe they have enough stake in the existing order to warrant taking measures against any nation that threatens to destroy the fabric of that order.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Pax Romana War, Peace and Conquest in the Roman World【電子書籍】[ Adrian Goldsworthy ]

＜p＞The Pax Romana is famous for having provided a remarkable period of peace and stability, rarely seen before or since. Yet the Romans were first and foremost conquerors, imperialists who took by force a vast empire stretching from the Euphrates in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west. Their peace meant Roman victory and was brought about by strength and dominance rather than co-existence with neighbours. The Romans were aggressive and ruthless, and during the creation of their empire millions died or were enslaved.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the Pax Romana was real, not merely the boast of emperors, and some of the regions in the Empire have never again lived for so many generations free from major wars. So what exactly was the Pax Romana and what did it mean for the people who found themselves brought under Roman rule?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Acclaimed historian Adrian Goldsworthy tells the story of the creation of the Empire, revealing how and why the Romans came to control so much of the world and asking whether the favourable image of the Roman peace is a true one. He chronicles the many rebellions by the conquered, and describes why these broke out and why most failed. At the same time, he explains that hostility was only one reaction to the arrival of Rome, and from the start there was alliance, collaboration and even enthusiasm for joining the invaders, all of which increased as resistance movements faded away.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A ground-breaking and comprehensive history of the Roman Peace, ＜em＞Pax Romana＜/em＞ takes the reader on a journey from the bloody conquests of an aggressive Republic through the age of Caesar and Augustus to the golden age of peace and prosperity under diligent emperors like Marcus Aurelius, offering a balanced and nuanced reappraisal of life in the Roman Empire.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】War and Peace【電子書籍】[ Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy ]

＜p＞Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook. War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Tolstoy's epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soir?es alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy's portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them. "The last word of the landlord's literature and the brilliant one at that." ーFyodor Dostoyevsky "The best ever Russian historical novel." ーNikolai Leskov "One of the most remarkable books of our age." ーIvan Turgenev "This is the first class work!… This is powerful, very powerful indeed." ーGustave Flaubert "The best novel that had ever been written." ーJohn Galsworthy "This work, like life itself, has no beginning, no end.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Back Channel Negotiation Secrecy in the Middle East Peace Process【電子書籍】[ Anthony Wanis-St. John ]

＜p＞Wanis-St. John takes on the question of whether the complex and often perilous, secret negotiations between mediating parties prove to be an instrumental path to reconciliation or rather one that disrupts the process. Using the Palestinian-Israeli peace process as a framework, the author focuses on the uses and misuses of "back channel" negotiations. Wanis-St. John discusses how top level PLO and Israeli government officials often resorted to secret negotiation channels even when they had designated, acknowledged negotiation teams already at work. Intense scrutiny of the media, pressure from constituents, and the public’s reaction, all become severe constraints to the process, causing leaders to seek out back channel negotiations. The impact of these secret talks on the peace process over time has largely been unexplored. Through interviews with major negotiators and policymakers on both sides and a detailed history of the conflict, the author analyzes the functions and consequences of back channel negotiations. Wanis-St. John reveals the painful irony that these methods for peacemaking have had the unintended effect of inflaming the conflict and sustaining its intractability.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Eight years after the second Palestinian uprising, the Oslo accords signed in 1993 seem to have failed. The reasons for the failure continue to fascinate students, politicians, researchers and policymakers alike. This book explores one of the major aspects of the bilateral peace process ? the composition and behaviour of the Palestinian negotiating team, which deeply impacted the outcome of the negotiations between 1991 and 1997. It focuses on the dynamics between the PLO leadership outside the occupied Palestinian territories and the grassroots leadership within the areas under Israeli control that led to conflicts of interest at the time of the final agreement. As the author was a part of the Palestinian leadership in the occupied territories, and was present during the negotiations process in Madrid and Washington DC, the book contains original, unpublished accounts, including those of the Washington bilateral negotiations and crucial internal Palestinian meetings. It is an excellent resource to gain an understanding of Palestinian behavior during peace talks, deterioration in peace-making efforts, the resulting radicalization, and the growing tendency towards violence.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Unwilling to accept a questionable diagnosis of mild schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis, she abandons her husband and twin three year-olds for the land of India. There, she crosses swords with Whisperthing - the hateful voice of her dead mother - while receiving life lessons from an invisible, chocolate-thieving guru named Babaji, who's been with her since childhood, but magically materializes upon her arrival in Delhi.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From there, Karma stumbles across India, desperately searching for clues about her past life as a British Raj soldier, and the suspicious death of his paramour, a Hindu temple dancer.

The work is epic in scale and is regarded as one of the most important works of world literature. It is considered Tolstoy's finest literary achievement, along with his other major prose work Anna Karenina (1873?1877).＜/p＞ ＜p＞ War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version of the novel, then known as The Year 1805, were serialized in the magazine The Russian Messenger between 1865 and 1867. The novel was first published in its entirety in 1869. Newsweek in 2009 ranked it first in its list of the Top 100 Books. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 20 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.＜/p＞ ＜p＞ Tolstoy himself, somewhat enigmatically, said of War and Peace that it was "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle." Large sections of the work, especially in the later chapters, are philosophical discussion rather than narrative. He went on to elaborate that the best Russian literature does not conform to standard norms and hence hesitated to call War and Peace a novel. (Instead, Tolstoy regarded Anna Karenina his first true novel.)＜/p＞ ＜p＞ Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy ; known in the Anglosphere as Leo Tolstoy; September 9, 1828 ? November 20, 1910) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞ His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Sleep of Behemoth Disputing Peace and Violence in Medieval Europe, 1000?1200【電子書籍】[ Jehangir Malegam ]

＜p＞＜strong＞In The Sleep of Behemoth, Jehangir Yezdi Malegam explores the emergence of conflicting concepts of peace in western Europe during the High Middle Ages.＜/strong＞ Ever since the early Church, Christian thinkers had conceived of their peace separate from the peace of the world, guarded by the sacraments and shared only grudgingly with powers and principalities. To kingdoms and communities they had allowed attenuated versions of this peace, modes of accommodation and domination that had tranquility as the goal. After 1000, reformers in the papal curia and monks and canons in the intellectual circles of northern France began to reimagine the Church as an engine of true peace, whose task it was eventually to absorb all peoples through progressive acts of revolutionary peacemaking. Peace as they envisioned it became a mandate for reform through conflict, coercion, and insurrection. And the pursuit of mere tranquility appeared dangerous, and even diabolical.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As Malegam shows, within western Christendom's major centers of intellectual activity and political thought, the clergy competed over the meaning and monopolization of the term "peace," contrasting it with what one canon lawyer called the "sleep of Behemoth," a diabolical "false" peace of lassitude and complacency, one that produced unsuitable forms of community and friendship that must be overturned at all costs. Out of this contest over the meaning and ownership of true peace, Malegam concludes, medieval thinkers developed theologies that shaped secular political theory in the later Middle Ages. The Sleep of Behemoth traces this radical experiment in redefining the meaning of peace from the papal courts of Rome and the schools of Laon, Li?ge, and Paris to its gradual spread across the continent and its impact on such developments as the rise of papal monarchism; the growth of urban, communal self-government; and the emergence of secular and mystical scholasticism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Strategies for Peace and Prosperity【電子書籍】[ Shui Yin Lo ]

＜p＞＜strong＞★Preface★＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is divided into three parts:＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part 1: Regularities in the Modernization of China＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part 2: Israel, Singapore, War, and Peace＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part 3: The Economic Basis of the Belt and Road Initiative＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Dr. Shui-Yin Lo introduces a theory based on empirical rules and quantum frameworks.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞The application of quantum frameworks provides profound insights into various fields, including human interaction, societal structures, and the potential for exponential growth in technology and resources. By examining these ideas through the principles of quantum theory, we gain a deeper understanding of the universe and the interconnectedness of all things. Whether analyzing the energy of light emitted from a laser or the complex electrical potentials within the human body, quantum mechanics offers a unified approach to studying systems of all scales.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞This theory, based on rules and quantum frameworks, can explain the remarkable 30-fold increase in China's GDP over approximately 30 years. It provides a framework for understanding China's transformation-its emergence under Mao Zedong, its path to prosperity under Deng Xiaoping, and its rise as a global power under Xi Jinping.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Additionally, the theory can be applied to analyze the five Arab-Israeli wars, the success of Hamas's surprise attack, the ongoing conflict between Israel and the "arc of resistance," and the potential for lasting peace. According to this framework, Israel could potentially quadruple its GDP if it shifts from a state of continuous conflict with Arab nations to a path of peace.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞The theory also explains the mutual economic success of China and the nations involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, despite their diverse political systems. Since its inception in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative has expanded from just one participating nation to 153 by 2023.＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞“The story of how [Dennis Priven] got away with murder . . . a fascinating diorama of life in the Peace Corps in the 1970s, on the edge of the world.” ー＜em＞The New York Times Book Review＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1975, a new group of Peace Corps volunteers landed on the island nation of Tonga. Among them was Deborah Gardnerーa beautiful twenty-three-year-old who, in the following year, would be stabbed twenty-two times and left for dead inside her hut.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Another volunteer turned himself in to the Tongan police, and many of the other Americans were sure he had committed the crime. But with the aid of the State Department, he returned home a free man. Although the story was kept quiet in the United States, Deb Gardner’s death and the outlandish aftermath took on legendary proportions in Tonga.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now journalist Philip Weiss “shines daylight on the facts of this ugly case with the fervor of an avenging angel” (＜em＞Chicago Tribune＜/em＞), exposing a gripping tale of love, violence, and clashing ideals.
