HISTORY
Danish reactions to German
occupation: history and historiography /Carsten Holbraad.
Set in the
context of modern Danish foreign relations, and tracing the country’s responses
to successive crises and wars in the region, Danish Reactions to German Occupation brings a full overview of the
occupation to an English-speaking audience. Holbraad carefully dissects the
motivations and ideologies driving conduct during the occupation, and his
authoritative coverage of the preceding century provides a crucial link to
understanding the forces behind Danish foreign policy divisions. Analysing the
conduct of a traumatised and strategically exposed small state bordering on an
aggressive great power, the book traces a development from reluctant
cooperation to active resistance. In doing so, Holbraad surveys and examines
the subsequent, and not yet quite finished, debate among Danish historians
about this contested period, which takes place between those siding with the
resistance and those more inclined to justify limited cooperation with the
occupiers – and who sometimes even condone various acts of collaboration.
LAW
Beyond
religious freedom /Elizabeth Shakman Hurd.
Elizabeth Shakman Hurd looks at three critical channels of
state-sponsored intervention: international religious freedom advocacy,
development assistance and nation building, and international law. She shows
how these initiatives make religious difference a matter of law, resulting in a
divide that favors forms of religion authorized by those in power and excludes
other ways of being and belonging. A forceful and timely critique of the
politics of promoting religious freedom, Beyond Religious Freedom provides new
insights into today's most pressing dilemmas of power, difference, and
governance.

sophistication and complexity. In 42 chapters, leading authorities cite and
integrate both English and Chinese-language research in topic areas ranging
from the socialization of children, mathematics achievement, emotion,
bilingualism, and Chinese styles of thinking to Chinese identity, personal
relationships, leadership processes, and psychopathology. With all chapters
accessibly written by the leading researchers in their respective fields, the
reader of this volume will learn how and why China has developed in the way it
has, and how it is likely to develop. In addition, the book shows how a better
understanding of a culture so different to our own can tell us so much about
our own culture and sense of identity.
