This book examines the question of identity in the Roman provinces of the western empire. It takes an innovative approach in looking at the wider discourses or ideologies through which an individual ...sense of self was learnt and expressed. This wide-ranging survey considers ethnic identity, status, gender and age. Rather than constructing a paradigm of the ‘ideal’ of any specific aspect of personal identity, it looks at some of the wider cultural ideas which were drawn upon in differentiating groups of people and the variability within this. It focusses on the daily and mundane practices of everyday life through which identities were internalized and communicated.
Sarah Carter's "Imperial Plots: Women, Land, and the Spadework of British Colonialism on the Canadian Prairies" examines the goals, aspirations, andchallenges met by women who sought land of their ...own.Supporters of British women homesteaders argued they would contribute to the "spade-work" of the Empire through their imperial plots, replacing foreign settlers and relieving Britain of its "surplus" women. Yet far into the twentieth century there was persistent opposition to the idea that women could or should farm: British women were to be exemplars of an idealized white femininity, not toiling in the fields. In Canada, heated debates about women farmers touched on issues of ethnicity, race,gender, class, and nation.Despite legal and cultural obstacles and discrimination, British women did acquire land as homesteaders, farmers, ranchers, and speculators on the Canadian prairies. They participated in the project of dispossessing Indigenous people. Their complicity was, however, ambiguous and restricted because they were excluded from the power and privileges of their male counterparts.Imperial Plots depicts the female farmers and ranchers of the prairies, from the Indigenous women agriculturalists of the Plains to the array of women who resolved to work on the land in the first decades of the twentieth century.
Comparing and contrasting speeches attributed to barbarian leaders by ancient Roman historians, this book offers a systematic examination of the ways in which those historians valorized foreigners ...and presented criticisms of their own society.
XVIII, yüzyılda yaşanan gelişmeler Osmanii Devleti'nin merkez ve taşrada bir dönüşüm yaşamasına neden olmuştu. Bu süreç sonrasında özellikle taşrada ayan sınıfı giderek güçlenip bulundukları ...bölgelerin yöneticileri konumuna gelmişlerdi. Bu doǧrultuda Karaosmanoǧlu ailesi de Saruban sancaǧında ön plana çıkmış ve bölgenin en güçlü ayan ailesi konumuna yükselmişti. Taşrada yaşanan bu gelişmeler ve devletin cephelerdeki maǧlubiyetleri III. Selim'in yeni bir reform programı başlatmasına ön ayak oldu. Öncelikle ne yapılması gerektiǧine dair devletin önde gelenlerinden ıslahat layihaları yazılması istendi. Bu ıslahat layihalarında en önemli meselelerin başında askerî bir reformun yapılması gerekliliǧi yer almaktaydı. Bununla birlikte layiha yazarları taşradaki düzenin bozulması, ayanın taşradaki konumu ve taşrada nasıl bir reform yapılması gerektiǧi üzerinde fikir beyan etmişlerdi. Her ne kadar yazarlar arasında taşrada nasıl bir reform yapılması konusunda fikir birliǧi bulunmasa da taşrada bir reformun yapılması fikri uzlaşı oluşturmaktaydı. Bu kapsamda başlatılan Nizam-ı Cedid bir süre sonra taşrada da uygulanmaya konulmuş ve modern talim ve terbiyenin uygulanması için ya kışlalar kurulmuş ya da İstanbul'daki kışlalar için asker yazımı istenmişti. İstanbul, Anadolu'da Nizam-ı Cedîd'i uygulamaya koymak için bölge ayanları ile bir iş birliǧine gitmişti ve Nizam-ı Cedîd'e dâhil olan bölgeler için yeni ekonomik fırsatlar sunmaktaydı. Saruhan Sancaǧı için ise Karaosmanoǧlu ailesi bölgede reformun uygulayıcısı konumundaydı. Nizam-ı Cedîd'e dâhil olmak hem bölge yöneticilerine hem de yeni düzenin neferine dönüşecek reayaya yeni ekonomik olanaklar sunmaktaydı. Bu durum İstanbul için reformun uygulanmasında ayanın yereldeki gücünden yararlanmayı saǧlarken ayan için de hukukî bir statü kazanma fırsatı, hem de ekonomik anlamda güç kazanma imkânı yaratmaktaydı.
Globalization is widely believed to have restricted the freedom of policy makers - many fear that the forces of a global economy prevent different political parties from making substantially ...distinctive policy choices. InPartisanship, Globalization, and Canadian Labour Market Policy, Rodney Haddow and Thomas Klassen explore this contentious issue by comparing labour market policy in Canada's most populous provinces, Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta, between 1990 and 2003.
Using the most up-to-date theoretical approaches available, Haddow and Klassen examine industrial relations, workers' compensation, occupational health, employment standards, training, and social assistance, measuring the impact of partisanship and globalization on policy-making in these areas. They situate Canada in relation to recent international scholarship on the comparative political economy of developed democracies, and explore the role that institutions play in conditioning labour market policy.
Partisanship, Globalization, and Canadian Labour Market Policywill not only be of interest to experts working in the field of labour market policy, but also to students and teachers of comparative political economy, partisanship, and governance in Canada.
