Cher ami, Nous sommes en 2084 et la célèbre citation de Margaret Thatcher est devenue réalité : la société n’existe plus. Personne ne se parle. Personne ne se regarde. Les gens ne collaborent plus, ils rivalisent. Je déteste le reconnaître, mais les conséquences ont été tragiques. Incapable de satisfaire ses besoins sociaux, la population a sombré dans un gouffre de dépression et d’anxiété. Le suicide est devenu la norme. Tout cela vous paraît assez morbide, n’est-ce pas ? Mais je vous en prie, ne désespérez pas. Il y a de l’espoir, et celui-ci porte le nom de notre héroïne : Renée Ann Blanca. Souhaitant combler le vide affectif dans sa vie, notre Renée va faire l’impensable : se mettre en quête de compagnie humaine ! C’est un acte radical et un défi de taille. Mais c’est, j’imagine, pourquoi son histoire vaut la peine d’être narrée.

Individutopie: So etwas wie die Gesellschaft gibt es nicht.
by Joss SheldonWir schreiben das Jahr 2084 und Margaret Thatchers berühmtes Zitat ist Wirklichkeit geworden: So etwas wie die Gesellschaft gibt es nicht. Die Leute sprechen nicht mehr miteinander. Sie sehen sich nicht mehr gegenseitig an. Die Menschen arbeiten nicht mehr zusammen, sie konkurrieren bloß noch. Es schmerzt mich das zugeben zu müssen, aber dies hatte tragische Konsequenzen. Da die Bevölkerung nicht mehr dazu in der Lage war, ihre sozialen Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen, ist sie Depressionen und Beklemmungsgefühlen anheimgefallen. Selbstmord ist zur Norm geworden. Das alles klingt ziemlich morbide, nicht wahr? Aber verzagen Sie nicht, denn es gibt Hoffnung, die in Form unserer Heldin daher kommt: Renee Ann Blanca. Da sie etwas gegen den fehlenden sozialen Kontakt in ihrem Leben unternehmen will, tut sie das Undenkbare: Sie macht sich auf die Suche nach menschlicher Gesellschaft! Eine radikale Tat und eine enorme Herausforderung. Aber ich schätze, das ist der Grund, warum es sich lohnt ihre Geschichte zu erzählen. Sie ist packend und ergreifend zugleich und ich glaube, Sie werden sie lieben…
Indivisible Territory and the Politics of Legitimacy
by Stacie E. GoddardIn Jerusalem and Northern Ireland, territorial disputes have often seemed indivisible, unable to be solved through negotiation, and prone to violence and war.
Indivisible: Daniel Webster and the Birth of American Nationalism
by Joel Richard PaulThe story of how Daniel Webster popularized the ideals of American nationalism that helped forge our nation&’s identity and inspire Abraham Lincoln to preserve the Union When the United States was founded in 1776, its citizens didn&’t think of themselves as &“Americans.&” They were New Yorkers or Virginians or Pennsylvanians. It was decades later that the seeds of American nationalism—identifying with one&’s own nation and supporting its broader interests—began to take root. But what kind of nationalism should Americans embrace? The state-focused and racist nationalism of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson? Or the belief that the U.S. Constitution made all Americans one nation, indivisible, which Daniel Webster and others espoused? In Indivisible, historian and law professor Joel Richard Paul tells the fascinating story of how Webster, a young New Hampshire attorney turned politician, rose to national prominence through his powerful oratory and unwavering belief in the United States and captured the national imagination. In his speeches, on the floors of the House and Senate, in court, and as Secretary of State, Webster argued that the Constitution was not a compact made by states but an expression of the will of all Americans. As the greatest orator of his age, Webster saw his speeches and writings published widely, and his stirring rhetoric convinced Americans to see themselves differently, as a nation bound together by a government of laws, not parochial interests. As these ideas took root, they influenced future leaders, among them Abraham Lincoln, who drew on them to hold the nation together during the Civil War. As he did in Without Precedent and Unlikely Allies, Joel Richard Paul has written in Indivisible both a compelling history and a fascinating account of one of the founders of our national perspective.

Indo-Australian Relations: Encounters beyond the State
by Phillip DarbyThis book explores a range of connections between India and Australia that fall outside the formal diplomacy of the two states. It examines how race, class and gender shape conceptions of the two nations, whose voices are heard and whose are not, and the politics that emerge from sport, culture, the drive for development as well as from language and the poetic. The book seeks to challenge the primacy of the state in determining the character of the nation and its monopoly of relations with other peoples. To this end, it looks to everyday life to find linkages not only between India and Australia but also extending through the South and Southeast Asian regions.This book was published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies.
Indo-French Educational Partnerships
by Marc PilkingtonThis book examines the unexpected convergence between the higher education systems of India and France.

by T. M. Vinod KumarThis book is an in-depth study of the Indo-Pacific region for effective interventions in the megacities system. First, based on several criteria, the region is identified as homogeneous country groupings of diversity, a multi-polar spatial system, and as program regions of QUAD and I2U2 for action programs and investment transcending many nations but mostly the ocean space of the Indo-Pacific, connecting all megacities sub-regions spatially and functionally. Then, the megacities with problems and prospects for economic integration are studied from the point of view of regional economics and international trade, and finally, the rural–urban interface with case studies of selected countries is presented. Prospects of systems of megacities and individual megacities for regional economies are designed. Existing interconnections through rail, air, and ocean of megacity systems, their capacity, performance, and potential are analyzed for emerging issues. International trade among the megacity systems/countries with emerging issues and barriers are presented. The mobility of money, goods, and services among the systems of megacities is analyzed. Rule-based diplomacy and other emerging options are discussed to sustain the above calls for a study of the Security of the Indo-Pacific region. Finally, the emerging architecture for megacity system governance is also presented.Out of 21 megacities in the Indo-Pacific, an in-depth study of a few in India and Japan in the Indo-Pacific region for effective economic interventions in the megacities system at the city level was studied.

Indonesia and ASEAN Plus Three Financial Cooperation
by Eko SaputroThis book examines financial regionalism in East Asia has stimulated not only a new architecture for regional governance, but also a transformation in Indonesia's national regulatory framework. As a relatively new phenomenon compared to trade regionalism, financial regionalism has successfully shaped cooperative networks among financial authorities in East Asia.

Indonesia and Islam in Transition (Global Political Transitions)
by Leonard C. Sebastian Syed Huzaifah Othman AlkaffThis book focuses on Islam in Indonesia, showcasing the wide range of Muslim organisations, belief systems and movements, together with an analysis of the political behaviour of Indonesian Muslims. It includes an investigation of the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how Muslims within the archipelago interact within these contexts. In doing so, it promotes a more nuanced understanding of Indonesian Muslim society by approaching it through the utilisation of scholarly frameworks. Theories related to religion and society are used, especially in characterising the transition of the Indonesian Muslim society from pre-New Order to post-New Order. Particularly significant is Abdullah Saeed's framework in understanding one’s attitude towards key and contemporary issues, originally used to understand one’s attitude towards the religious ‘other’. The authors thus adopt this framework in the book, as a method of categorising people in a diverse society which in turnhelps readers to understand the nuances of Islam and Muslims in a huge country like Indonesia.
Indonesia's Changing Political Economy
by Jamie S. DavidsonIndonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and freest democracy yet vested interests and local politics serve as formidable obstacles to infrastructure reform. In this critical analysis of the politics inhibiting infrastructure investment, Jamie S. Davidson utilizes evidence from his research, press reports and rarely used consultancy studies to challenge mainstream explanations for low investment rates and the sluggish adoption of liberalizing reforms. He argues that obstacles have less to do with weak formal institutions and low fiscal capacities of the state than with entrenched, rent-seeking interests, misaligned central-local government relations, and state-society struggles over land. Using a political-sociological approach, Davidson demonstrates that 'getting the politics right' matters as much as getting the prices right or putting the proper institutional safeguards in place for infrastructure development. This innovative account and its conclusions will be of interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asia and policymakers of infrastructure investment and economic growth.
Indonesia's Delimited Maritime Boundaries

Indonesia's Transformation and the Stability of Southeast Asia
by Peter Chalk Angel RabasaIndonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, is undergoing a profound transformation that could lead to a variety of outcomes, from the consolidation of democracy to return to authoritarianism or military rule, to radical Islamic rule, or to violent disintegration. The stakes are high, for Indonesia is the key to Southeast Asian security. The authors examine the trends and dynamics that are driving Indonesia's transformation, outline possible strategic futures and their implications for regional stability, and identify options the United States might pursue in the critical challenge of influencing Indonesia's future course. Steps the United States might take now include support for Indonesia's stability and territorial integrity, reestablishment of Indonesian-U.S. military cooperation and interaction, aid in rebuilding a constructive Indonesian role in regional security, and support for development of a regional crisis reaction force. A continued strong U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific region will reinforce the U.S. role as regional balancer.
