Over the last two decades, China has emerged as one of the most powerful state actors in the post-Cold War international system. This book provides a multifaceted and spatially oriented analysis of how China's re-emergence as a global power impacts the dominance of the United States as well as domestic state and non-state actors in various world-regions, including the Asia-Pacific, Africa, South America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe and the Arctic. Chapters reflect on how and under which conditions competition (and cooperation) between the United States and China vary across these regions and what such variations mean for the prospects of war and peace, universal human dignity and global cooperation.

At a time of rapid global change, development NGOs are having to scale up their impact, diversify their activities, respond to long-term crises and improve their performance on all fronts. Striking a Balance offers both analysis and a practical guide to how NGDOs can fulfil these demanding expectations. Written for all those involved with NGDO work, the book describes the objectives of sustainablepeople-centred development and the process required to achieve it, focusing on the five factors which determine effectiveness: suitable organisational design; competent leadership and human resources; appropriate external relationships; mobilisation of high quality finance; and the measurement of performance coupled to 'learning for leverage'. In each are the book explains the capacities needed and how they can be assessed and improved. Effectiveness calls for NGDOs which retain their non-profit values, establish the right type of Professionalism, manage dilemmas and balance choices to continually reflect the priorities, rights and needs of those who give them legitimacy: people who are poor and marginalised. This book provides a reference of current and future practices which will help NGDOs to do so.

The enemy promises conflict and annihilation Their allies threaten betrayal and devastation A daughter of Earth raises the call of defiance And the Imperium has never knelt! When the Taljzi's genocidal invasion brought promises of aid from the oldest and greatest of the Core Powers, humanity and the Imperium looked to the Mesharom for salvation. But that salvation turns to ash as the Mesharom demand the surrender of the very weapons that saved the Imperium. Defiance leaves the Imperium facing the Taljzi without the aide of the galaxy's wisest race, but with their old enemies the Kanzi at their side, they have no choice but to end this war at any cost. But Mesharom and Taljzi alike have scattered fire and death across the stars. The Imperial forces under Fleet Lord Harriet Tanaka will need every scrap of firepower and cleverness not only to defeat their enemies...but to find them in the first place.

Why are some of us remembered for all time, while the vast majority of mankind is forgotten after death? How is it possible that some of us attain godlike qualities, a deified status, and are referred to by mankind for all time, while the majority struggles in all futility to even establish a part of their power in the world?These are mysteries presented to us, and for Aeons mankind tried to figure out what those specific properties are which make of man a Being of Greatness. What did people like Hitler, Disney, Ghandi and Crowley exactly do that made them known, loved or hated among mankind? How did the gods of Egypt became deified? Why does the name of Tammuz (Nimrod) still echo in numerous religious scripts? Why is Jesus Christ still remembered, even worshipped, after more than 2000 years? Why exactly would Lucifer choose to break with the Creator, no longer willing to do His bidding? What did a philosopher like Friedrich Nietzsche truly see which made him write his critical Works of Ecce Homo, The Antichrist and Human, all too Human? How is it possible that Pharaoh Akhenaten, known as the Heretic King, emerges from history with such power and intensity while in his time the people did everything to wipe out every trace of his existence? Why does a character like Darth Vader appeal to many of us so intensely? What is this force that reveals profound wisdom, its Keys of Power and a Deified Lordship to only a few and brings an avalanche of lunacy down upon the many?In this controversial and confronting work written by Phagos A. Hoshigaoka, the reader will be given the knife to pierce through the veils of what precisely divides mankind from the gods and what will aid the one who aspires, to initiate and to set foot on the Dark Path of Sovereignty, even when he finds himself in the most difficult and confusing of circumstances. The author comes with a Noesis that will defy your limitations, challenges the Status Quo and put your Sense of Reality and Aspiration to the test.Black Sun Imperium is a work that will carefully unveil the nature of the Black Sun and which will prove to be valuable in daily life, as it aids you to build and strengthen your Soul through profound understanding and practical methods of implementation which were once wielded by the Ancient Darklords. In this work, the layers will be peeled off concerning society and how it manipulates you through more mediums and schemes than you believe possible, and which intends to sweep your identity off the map. By scrutinizing this, it also provides you with the assets to intercept and untangle this for good by using the comprehension of the force of the Black Sun. The immense power of the Black Sun is explained concerning our Self and our World, and it reveals why it affects the world so deeply in, for instance, the times of Babel and during World War II. This realistic work is very suitable for both new and experienced Darksiders who do not fear brutal honesty and who practically aspire to become Heavy Caliber, Powerful and Eminent Darklords amongst mankind, those who are not afraid to step over the edge in order to cross the Abyss to Deification and by its revelations, encouraged by using the Power of the Black Sun in order to turn things to their advantage. It is never too late to step down the Path of Black Illumination if you desire it, whether you are 24, 40 or 74 years of age, whether Sith, Dark Elf, Dragon, Vampire, a Witchdoctor or a Lofcraftian Black Emperor in Essence, whether you feel the deep desire to become a Darklord among mankind, secretly or openly transforming yourself and bending reality to your Will to forge your own Empire. This book gives the new Darksiders a headstart, and the more experienced an expanded point of view. As notorious as the Power of the Black Sun is, this work certainly is not for the faint of heart, but then again, it is definitely not for the small of mind either.

Lieutenant Lord Thomas Kinago sets out from the Imperium homeworld for the Autocracy of the Uctu, a galactic region with a geckolike overlord known, eponymously, as the Autocrat. Thomas is ostensibly on a pleasure cruise with his cousin Jil to enjoy the pleasures of the Gecko culture. (Jil is herself fleeing a spot of trouble in the Central Worlds after she rebuffed the unwanted amorous interest of a local crime boss) In fact, Thomas is on a mission for the mysterious Mr. Frank, the head of the secret service, to discover how prohibited goods, including a small fighter ship, are being smuggled into the Autocracy. His crews overt assignment is to find out why legitimate shippers are being detained at checkpoints, sometimes for months, without explanation. As usual, Thomass reputation for sudden enthusiasm and goodhearted mayhem precede him. It is all his trusted aid Parsons can do to keep his leader on course. Thomass newest interest is superstitions, and he is driving everyone to distraction by telling fortunes, and even inventing a new method or two. Yet while the Autocrat, a new and fairly young Uctu female, finds Thomas a curious diplomat, she also rather likes him¾much to Parsonss relief. It seems Thomas needs free passage within the Uctu home system before he can investigate the illegal contraband trade. Whats more, the smuggling ring is quite determined to cancel Thomass visit before he can cancel them. As usual, its up to Parsons to find a way to lead his hapless master to victory¾or at least keep him from getting himself killed by a very determined enemy. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for Jody Lynn Nyes An Unexpected Apprentice: _I thoroughly enjoyed it, the plot, the settlement, the whole nine yards, and especially the twitch of humor at odd moments...a book I can thoroughly recommend.Ó ¾Anne McCaffrey _An unusual story well-told, with characters it's a real pleasure to spend time with.Ó ¾David Drake

While the media tends to pay the most attention to violent secessionist movements or peaceful independence movements, it is just as important to understand why there are regions where political movements for autonomy fail to develop. In neglecting regions without political movements or full-blown independence demands, theories may be partial at best and incorrect at worst. State Institutions, Civic Associations, and Identity Demands examines over a dozen regions, comparing and contrasting successful cases to abandoned, unsuccessful, or dormant cases. The cases range from successful secession (East Timor, Singapore) and ongoing secessionist movements (Southern Philippines), to internally divided regional movements (Kachin State), low-level regionalist stirrings (Lanna, Taiwan), and local but not regional mobilization of identity (Bali, Minahasan), all the way to failed movements (Bataks, South Maluku) and regions that remain politically inert (East and North Malaysia, Northeast Thailand). While each chapter is written by a country expert, the contributions rely on a range of methods, from comparative historical analysis, to ethnography, field interviews, and data from public opinion surveys. Together, they contribute important new knowledge on little-known cases that nevertheless illuminate the history of regions and ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Although focused on Southeast Asia, the book identifies the factors that can explain why movements emerge and successfully develop and concludes with a chapter by Henry Hale that illustrates how this can be applied globally.

Although authoritarian countries often repress independent citizen activity, lobbying by civil society organizations is actually a widespread phenomenon. Using case studies such as China, Russia, Belarus, Cambodia, Malaysia, Montenegro, Turkey, and Zimbabwe, Lobbying the Autocrat shows that citizen advocacy organizations carve out niches in the authoritarian policy process, even influencing policy outcomes. The cases cover a range of autocratic regime types (one-party, multi-party, personalist) on different continents, and encompass different systems of government to explore citizen advocacy ranging from issues such as social welfare, women’s rights, election reform, environmental protection, and land rights. They show how civil society has developed adaptive capacities to the changing levels of political repression and built resilience through ‘tactful contention’ strategies. Thus, within the bounds set by the authoritarian regimes, adaptive lobbying may still bring about localized responsiveness and representation. However, the challenging conditions of authoritarian advocacy systems identified throughout this volume present challenges for both advocates and autocrats alike. The former are pushed by an environment of constant threat and uncertainty into a precarious dance with the dictator: just the right amount of acquiescence and assertiveness, private persuasion and public pressure, and the flexibility to change quickly to suit different situations. An adaptive lobbyist survives and may even thrive in such conditions, while others often face dire consequences. For the autocrat on the other hand, the more they stifle the associational sphere in an effort to prevent mass mobilization, the less they will reap the informational benefits associated with it. This volume synthesizes the findings of the comparative cases to build a framework for understanding how civil society effectively lobbies inside authoritarian countries.
