Best.-Nr. A9780226576510Paperback / softback. New. In The Economics of the Mishnah Jacob Neusner showed how economics functioned as an active and generative ingredient in the system of the Mishnah. With this new study Rabbinic Political Theory he moves from the economics to the politics of the Mishnah placing that politics in the broader context of ancient political theory. Neusner begins his study with a modification of Weber's categories for a theory of politics: myth institutions administration passion responsibility and proportion. Detailing the Mishnah's conception of politics Neusner considers what he calls the stable and static structure and system through comparison with Aristotle. Although Aristotle's Politics and the Mishnah share a common economic theory based on the fundamental unit of the householder they diverge in their conceptions of political structure and order. Aristotle embeds economics within political economy while Neusner argues the Mishnah presents the anomaly of an economics separated from politics. Using modern political terms this study explicates the complicated politics developed by the philosopher-theologians of the Mishnah. It is a first-rate contribution to our understanding of the intersection of politics political philosophy and the Mishnaic system. paperback

Best.-Nr. B9781647127213Paperback / softback. New. The deep roots of India's changing role in international affairs In 1947 India's adoption of a strategy of nonalignment was primarily seen as a way to preserve the country's sovereignty and independence amid Cold War rivalry. But what if preservation was actually ambition India After Nonalignment traces the history and evolution of India's foreign policy to uncover a century-old aspiration: the nation's ambition to become a distinct pole––a center of power norms and geopolitical activity––in a multipolar world. Using a fresh conceptual framework Jacob examines how India's old nonalignment policy ongoing aversion to military alliances and recent enactment of strategic autonomy have collectively been driven by this deeply rooted desire to become a consequential and unique actor in foreign affairs. He discusses India's paradigm shift from a reactive posture to a proactive role in shaping international norms and culture the balance of power and the future implications of these aspirations for its foreign policy behavior. As the country's growing power and geopolitical significance make its ambitions more explicit Jacob provides the perspective necessary for scholars students and other readers interested in international relations and South Asian studies to better understand how India perceives its journey in the international system. paperback
