English | 2017 | ISBN: 1138066540 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.3 mb
A figure of enduring ingenuity, the nation has for centuries played a part on the socio-political stage. Whether centre stage or background scenery, it has featured in violent tragedies, revolutionary drama and nostalgic fable. Today, the nation is cast simultaneously in the roles of villain and hero. While it is renounced by those advocating trans-national, post-national and cosmopolitan forms of belonging, it has lately also been asserted as the solution to various social failures in liberal democracies. This appears to leave us with two alternatives: to jettison the nation in order to move towards a less parochial world, a world in which new forms of belonging underpin more inclusive politics. Or to celebrate the nation as way of ensuring the social cement that can unite a diverse society.

Flies occupy unique and diverse roles within our ecosystem: some are pests which affect our agricultural and horticultural crops; other varieties act as vectors that spread diseases within the human and animal population. However, not all flies are harmful to humans: some species of fly play a role in facilitating crop pollination, whilst others are involved in environmental engineering, waste decomposition, and/or nutrient recycling, forming an important component of integrated pest management as effective biocontrol agents. Others even play a role in crime solving within the field of forensic entomology.

Free DownloadCitizenship in Transition : New Perspectives on Transnational Migration from the Middle East to Europe By Annemarie Profanter; Francis Owtram
2013 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 1443849863 | PDF | 1 MB
The revolutions and protests arising from the Arab Spring, combined with the establishment of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, challenged dominant ideas about what people in the Middle East expect from their governments. At the same time, a new wave of migration has been created, once again showing how the local, regional and global are connected in the identity of citizens and concepts of citizenship. This turmoil and its human cost -tragically captured in the image of drowned toddler Aylan Kurdi-have called into question prevailing modes of thinking about the Middle East, as well as the policy of EU governments towards refugees and immigration. These seismic events have compounded underlying changes in the internal composition of contemporary liberal democracies, which, together with the challenges imposed by globalization on the state, are demanding a rethink of theories of citizenship, particularly in a transnational sense. By bringing together new perspectives on these critical issues, this timely and thought-provoking book deconstructs the processes that are shaping and reshaping debates on migration and integration in Europe, and illuminates emerging patterns in key areas such as citizenship and cultural identity, education, and second generation networks.
