Kojève’s Sophia, or the misfortunes of wisdom
Normative anti-normativity: When Dugin reads queer theory
In line with a recent rise in anti-LGBTQ discourse within conservative Russian politics, Aleksandr Dugin has increasingly critiqued “postmodern” theories that allegedly underpin social diversity (sexual, gender, racial, etc.) within the West: queer theory, post-structuralism, and other theoretical accounts of identity and alterity. In Dugin’s argument for a political philosophy of Eurasianism, the Western endorsement of multiculturalism and plura…
Through the Looking Glass: Review Article. Evald Ilyenkov’s Images of the Ideal
This brief report looks back at the international conference Images of the Ideal, held in Berlin in May 2024 to celebrate the centenary of the Soviet philosopher Evald Ilyenkov (1924Ilyenkov ( -1979)).The event highlighted that Ilyenkov is becoming an important voice in contemporary discourses on philosophy of culture, social and critical theory, psychology and education, materialism, AI and automation, ecology and the political economy of capita…

Alexandre Kojève and Russian philosophy: Guest editors’ introduction
No More Godmen: Alexandre Kojève, Atheism, and Vladimir Solov ́ev
Prior to his influential seminars on G.W.F. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit in the 1930s, the philosopher Alexandre Kojève was still Aleksandr Kozhevnikov, a recent émigré to Germany who studied the philosophy of Vladimir Solov ́ev in Heidelberg. As a result, Kojève published several articles in French and German on Solov ́ev's philosophy of history and divine Sophia. While he soon developed his own reputation as a celebrated philosopher, posthum…

Why a National Peace Agreement Is Important for Myanmar
As Myanmar readies itself for the second national conference on its ‘new’ peace process in February 2017, an update on outstanding issues with Myanmar's peace process may be timely. It is hardly surprising that, despite the months of preparation for the second Panglong Conference in August or September 2016, there was little or no change in the realities on the ground in Myanmar during the year: armed incidents between the Burmese military and ar…
Strategic Choices in Myanmar's Transition and Myanmar's National Security Policies
Since 2011, Myanmar's leaders have concentrated on ensuring the success of their overall political transition, given the expectations created after the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011–2012. Not surprisingly, designing a new national security policy was less a priority than achieving ‘peace’; national security was viewed as a matter of continuity rather than transition. Moreover, many of the reformist objectives of the political transition were not applied …
Ruling Myanmar: From Cyclone Nargis to National Elections
November 2010 sees the first elections in Myanmar/Burma since 1990, to be held as the culmination of the military regime’s 'Road Map for Democracy' The conditions under which the elections are being held are far from favourable, although the laws and procedures under which they will be conducted have been in place for seven months and quite widely publicized. Political controls remain repressive, freedom of expression and assembly does not exist,…

A Leap into the Future: The Australia-Japan Working Holiday Agreement and Immigration Policy
The Australia-Japan Working Holiday Agreement of 1980 represented a leap of faith on the part of both governments in their own people. Unprecedented for Japan, and breaking with Anglophone cultural stereotypes for Australia, neither government could have objectively predicted the enormous success of the agreement, or that it would become a model for many more such agreements. Both governments counted on recognition developing of the cultural bene…

Myanmar: The state, community and the environment
Myanmar seems no closer to a political resolution even as economic, minority, developmental and environmental situations continue to worsen. Myanmar: the state, community and the environment explains how and why the government and opposition groups have missed opportunities to find a way out of this political impasse. New insights are provided on aspects of Myanmars economic development, focusing on the vital rice-marketing sector and attempts to…
Engaging a Pariah: Human Rights Training in Burma/Myanmar
The people of Burma/Myanmar have suffered for two generations under military dictatorships. Their economy, legal and social orders, cultural diversity, and political freedoms have all steadily declined during that time. The country's human rights record is considered by many to be one of the worst world-wide. In the West, responses have ranged from diplomatic condemnation, to the imposition of economic sanctions, and to the withdrawal of aid and …
Myanmar: State, Community and the Environment
Despite deteriorating economic and developmental conditions, worsening environmental problems, and troubles arising from the unresolved status of its ethnic minorities, Myanmar seems no closer to a political resolution. Myanmar’s economy continues to stagnate, with severe implications for its people. Low levels of international assistance have exacerbated the situation. Myanmar—the state, community and the environment examines the missed opportun…

With the centenary of the First World War now fast approaching, it might seem that the writing of books about it, certainly on original subjects, had run its course. Concerning Britain, the output of diaries and memoirs and straight works of history—military, political, social—has been huge. Is there anything more to be said? Apparently the answer is yes. Here are three books exploring aspects of Britain's war not hitherto fully investigated. Eac…
Conflict, technology, and the impact of industrialization: The Great War 1914–18
In major respects, World War I appeared markedly unlike even quite recent wars. What, by and large, caused the difference was not quality of command or changing morale. It was industrial mobilisation and technological advancement. The emergence of new weapons, and of new methods of producing them in volume and at speed, played a crucial role in changing the nature of war. Certainly, the peculiar qualities of the Great War of 1914–18 were not dete…
The First World War
Industrial and ironclad power reached its culmination in the war that engulfed Europe. As events would prove, however, the products of the industrial system of the 20th century, including the capacity of the system to transfer vast reserves of manpower from civilian to military employment at short notice, much more greatly favoured strategies of defence than offence. The outcome was a war of attrition and immobile fronts, eventually to be unlocke…
Passchendaele: The Untold Story
No conflict of the Great War excites stronger emotions than the war in Flanders in the autumn of 1917, and no name better encapsulates the horror and apparent futility of the Western Front than Passchendaele. By its end there had been 275,000 Allied and 200,000 German casualties. Yet the territorial gains made in four desperate months were won back by Germany in only three days the following March. The devastation at Passchendaele, the authors ar…

Lord Bryce's Investigation into Alleged German Atrocities in Belgium, 1914-15
The first half of 1915 was a special time of hate in Britain: for in this phase of the Great War atrocity-mongering reached its peak. Tales of outrages committed by Germans replenished the queues at the recruiting offices and triggered off indiscriminate violence in Britain against residents of German origin or (supposed) proGerman sympathies. But more importantly, they reinforced the conviction that although the end of the struggle might be much…
