Process Geographies and a Fourth Wave of Area Studies
The aim of this paper is to bring together the concepts of process geographies (Appadurai, 1997) and topochrones (Houben, 2022)—innovative approaches that have emerged from the rich debates within New Area Studies. We argue that it is precisely these approaches in Area Studies that are needed to overcome the threat of a return to a polarised worldview in the context of today’s incipient Second Cold War (Schindler et al., 2023). The paper proceeds…

The Politics of Making Kinship
The long tradition of Western political thought included kinship in models of public order, but the social sciences excised it from theories of the state, public sphere, and democratic order. Kinship has, however, neither completely disappeared from the political cultures of the West nor played the determining social and political role ascribed to it elsewhere. Exploring the issues that arise once the divide between kinship and politics is no lon…
Tracing Japanese Leftist Political Activism (1957–2017)
Tracing Japanese Leftist Political Activism (1957–2017) tells the story of the Japanese Red Army (JRA), a militant left-wing group founded in 1971 which was involved in numerous terrorist attacks. It traces the origins of the group in the Japanese New Left in the 1960s and looks at Red Army groups of the early 1970s in Japan, such as the Red Army Faction, and the United Red Army which became infamous for murdering its own members. The book also e…

Monarchies and Republics, State and Regime, Durability and Fragility in View of the Arab Spring
In trying to ascertain the different trajectories followed by monarchies and republics since the "Arab Spring" in 2011, analysts and academics concur that a gap has opened, despite continuing debates as to whether analysing this imbalance between types of polity can help in understanding and explaining these diverse trajectories. Examining the Gulf monarchies produces the following arguments: (1) the monarchy versus republic issue is important fo…
Rethinking the Monarchy–Republic Gap in the Middle East
In the wake of the ongoing Arab Spring, one of the many themes that garnered attention by scholars and policy analysts is the empirical fact that, of the autocratic regimes that have been overthrow
Transnational Women’s Movements and Networking
The article addresses the potential of transnational advocacy networks for the diffusion of norms such as “equality in the family” on a national as well as international basis. Taking the network Musawah for Equality in the Family as a case in point, it shows how transnational networking with a focus on one particular issue can take place, and how significant the national and local context is for the formulation of strategies and on-the-ground st…

Malaysia in 2006
Prime Minister Badawi's policies in 2006 were accompanied by an uninvited yet hardly ignorable critique, voiced by none other than his predecessor, Mahathir Mohamad.

Introduction
Malaysia in 2005
During 2005, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi asserted his grip on domestic affairs, but his government is still linked with perceptions of ineffectiveness. Economic growth slowed and the ringgit was unpegged from the U.S. dollar, yet remained stable. In foreign relations, Malaysia played a proactive role
