Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2013The regeneration of east Manchester
A political analysis
by Georgina Blakeley, Brendan Evans
East Manchester has been the site of one of the most substantial regeneration projects internationally. The initiative in east Manchester confirmed the tag that the city is the 'regeneration capital' of the United Kingdom. While the book focuses on a single project, it has wider relevance to national and international regeneration initiatives. The book assesses the outcomes of the regeneration, although it demonstrates the difficulties in producing a definitive evaluation. It has a political focus and illuminates and challenges many assumptions underpinning three major current academic debates: governance, participatory democracy and ideology. The book is relevant to students of politics, geography, sociology, public administration and recent history but will also interest practitioners, academics and general readers interested in urban regeneration. Mancunians will also be fascinated by the rapidly changing face and character of their city as will those with an interest in Manchester's football, the Commonwealth Games and Sportcity. ;

Biography: religious & spiritual2019Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky and the "positive-sum" principle
by Myroslav Marynovych
The book contains a thorough analysis of the preaching heritage of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky from the point of view of its compliance (or non-compliance) with the methodological principle, which is now called "positive-sum" or "win-win". The Metropolitan derived the genesis of this way of thinking from theology, and the author finds examples of its application by the Metropolitan himself in the messages of Andrei Sheptytsky in the field of economic relations, national relations, state building, inter-confessional and inter-religious relations. The author supplemented this scientific research with his own vision of what role the positive-sum principle and the formula of Metropolitan Andrey can play in the near future of Ukraine and the world.

Humanities & Social Sciences2020I Will Mix Your Blood With Coal. Understanding Ukrainian East
by Oleksandr Mykhed
In 2014, the Russian army, with support from local militants, had occupied parts of Ukraine’s two easternmost regions, the regions that were the beating industrial heart of the socialist utopia in the Soviet era, and where coal extraction has exhausted both the human population and the natural resources. The regions have suffered from the post-Soviet chaos for decades. In the late 2016, the author set out on a research trip to the East to answer the common questions of those who’ve never been to the region. He takes his readers on a complicated, painful and hopeful trip across the Ukrainian East, guiding them through conversations with the locals, archival research, and conversations with prominent cultural fi gures like writer Serhij Zhadan or released after 700 days of terrorist captivity historian Ihor Kozlovskyi that were born in the region. The readers will meet the miners, the Belgian and British investors who founded the eastern cities, the priceless coal, events of the First and Second World War, the bloody Soviet history, the activists who are now working to improve the country, and sweet memories of the lost paradise.

Historical fiction2022The Age of the Red Ants
by Tanya Pyankova
In spring of 1933 the famine in Machukhy came to its climax. The first case of cannibalism, lynch law, malnutrition-related mental disorders. The village lives in degradation. People are desperate, and they lose their humanity, they are ready to eat everything to survive. And here are two stranger women, two victims of their time, two opposite sides of the great darkness, called hunger, are at arm's length… Young Yavdokha, madness-like insight — and Solya, the holy blindness. One is killed by hunger — the other one is saved. One is promised to have eternal night — the other one is given hope for a happy renewal. And they do not know yet that they go towards each other. They go in order eventually to hug one another and to build a fragile bridge over the insatiable anthill of their torturers…

Humanities & Social Sciences2021Ukrainian Worlds of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Stories about History
by Natalya Starchenko
The vision of the Ukrainian history dominant in the Russian Empire and in the Soviet Union focused exclusively on the heroic Cossacks and disenfranchised peasants. There was no room in it for the local elites: the Ukrainian aristocracy (szlachta) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. As the result of this biased perspective, Ukrainians to this day know very little about the life of those people. This book invites the readers to take a closer look at the Ukrainian aristocracy. This introduction is done in a somewhat unusual form, through true anecdotes from the life of aristocracy gleaned from court records and other sources from the time. We get glimpses of the elites not only in their best garbs but also in their well-worn home clothes. The book brings together 105 brief chapters that describe how these people saw themselves, how they fought and made peace, how they fell in love and got married, how unwavering they were in the defense of their rights in court. Last not least, these essays explore whether the Ukrainian elites were mere extras and viewers in history or its active makers, resolute and strong in their insistence on defending and expanding their rights and freedoms.

Humanities & Social Sciences2021Crimean Tatars: from Ethnogenesis to Statehood
by Gulnara Abdullaeva
The book Crimean Tatars: From Ethnogenesis to Statehood is not just a sketch of the life and formation of Crimean Tatars as an ethnos, it is a great opportunity for readers of any age to learn and reflect in a historical (and sometimes political) perspective about who the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks, Karaites really are, where they came from and how they were formed as a nationality. And why now they, together with other, unfortunately, small ethnic groups are forced to defend their status as the indigenous population of the peninsula, what is their role in the formation of modern Ukraine. A detailed study by Crimean historian Gulnara Abdullaeva will help restore the centuries-old ethnic history of the Crimean Tatars and other indigenous peoples of Crimea, dispel numerous imposed myths, demonstrate the national identity, uniqueness and value of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group for human civilization. The book is for those who want to know the story without expurgates.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2024Capitalism in contemporary Iran
Capital accumulation, state formation and geopolitics
by Kayhan Valadbaygi
By situating Iran within the neoliberal global capitalism and resulting geopolitics, this book traces the patterns of capital accumulation and transformations in class and state formation emanating from it. It shows that Iranian neoliberalisation has brought about two capital fractions, namely the internationally-oriented capital fraction and the military-bonyad complex. It substantiates that the co-existence of these competing class fractions with different accumulation strategies has generated hybrid neoliberalism. The book further demonstrates how this new class formation has reorganised the function and operation of state institutions and transformed state ideology. By documenting the ways in which Iranian neoliberalisation has reshaped the subaltern classes and formed Iran's volatile foreign policy, it also provides a novel account of major events and processes in contemporary Iran, such as the post-2017 wave of uprisings, the nuclear programme and international sanctions.
