With the intensification of globalization, there is a growing consensus that international education has come of age. This book examines how the changing conditions of the present have given rise to an altered set of meanings and uses for international education, using the International Baccalaureate (IB) as its focal point. Currently adopted in over 2,500 private and state-run schools in 134 countries around the world, the IB has far surpassed the expectations of its founders, who struggled under considerable challenges in the 1960s to develop an internationally recognized diploma for univers

An Introduction to Geopolitics highlights in a concise, accessible manner how geographic factors are important in determining whether tensions become conflicts and whether resolutions are just and long lasting or not. The result is an understanding of geopolitics as the way geography and its representation facilitates the exercise of power and resistance towards it. The process and feedback model of geopolitical tension, conflict and resolution structures the book. For each of these three stages four geographic concepts will be discussed: scale of governance; changing places and spaces; networ

Starting with the premise that Europe was made by its imperial projects as much as colonial encounters were shaped by events and conflicts in Europe, the contributors to Tensions of Empire investigate metropolitan-colonial relationships from a new perspective. The fifteen essays demonstrate various ways in which "civilizing missions" in both metropolis and colony provided new sites for clarifying a bourgeois order. Focusing on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, they show how new definitions of modernity and welfare were developed and how new discourses and practices of

This book deals with the interaction of aesthetic and technological dimensions within the formation of contemporary society. The contributions discuss the production of time and space, self and nature, individual and society in the image of technology. They focus on the productive tensions between aesthetic and technological concepts when implemented in everyday life. The volume contains - among others - texts about technologies of visualization, the aesthetics of warfare and the design of technological life worlds.
