Comparing Defense Innovation Around the World
Gaining a decisive technological edge is a never-ending pursuit for defense establishments and the countries they protect.Intensifying geo-strategic and geo-economic rivalry among major powers, especially the U.S. and China, and the global technology revolution occurring in the civilian and military domains promise to reshape the nature and distribution of global power. This book examines the state of global defense innovation in a select number of countries chosen because they are representative of the diverse make-up of the global defense innovation community.These include small countries with advanced defense innovation capabilities (Israel and Singapore), closed authoritarian powers (North Korea and Russia), large catch-up states (China and India), and advanced large powers (U.S.). The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.

Comparing Online Legal Education : Past, Present and Future
This pioneering work by leading comparative lawyers examines developments in online legal education, particularly in universities but also in professional associations, before and especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.The book posits and largely confirms that transformations are linked to the extent and scope of respective legal professions (often, but not always, correlating to common versus civil law traditions), funding and other aspects of university-level education, and information and communications technology infrastructure in each jurisdiction.It charts the dramatic shift to online legal education in almost all jurisdictions even with different levels of COVID-19 infections and deaths, or mobility restrictions imposed by law and/or social norms.It also details how law teachers and students adapted to the challenges and opportunities of new technologies and practices, sometimes benefitting from serendipitous earlier events supporting online legal education, and a considerable reversion to the mean as the pandemic has abated.The special reports incorporate extensive empirical data, including surveys on online legal education experiences.They cover 13 jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, Canada, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan and Pakistan), Europe and beyond (Croatia, Cyprus, Italy and Seychelles), ranging from micro-states to very large economies, at various stages of economic development and from different legal traditions.Comparing Online Legal Education provides rich resources and lessons for legal academics and professionals, as well as those involved in education policy.

Mapping Apologetics – Comparing Contemporary Approaches
Everyone believes something. But how and why do people believe? What counts as evidence? How much can be assumed or believed by faith alone? When it comes to religious faith, the questions become at once more difficult and more important.Over the centuries, Christians have offered different approaches to explaining or defending the Christian faith, a discipline known as apologetics.But it has not always been clear how different apologetic methods work, or what each approach has to offer. In this comprehensive survey, Brian Morley provides an overview of Christian apologetic approaches and how they differ.He explores the historical and philosophical underpinnings of key figures and major schools of thought, from the presuppositionalism of Cornelius Van Til to the evidentialism of Gary Habermas.Moving beyond theory, Morley also covers apologetic application, demonstrating how each view works out in practical terms.This guide covers the complexities of apologetics in a way that is accessible to the nonspecialist.Even-handed and respectful of each apologist and their contribution, this book provides the reader with a formidable array of defenses for the faith.

Islamic Ecumene : Comparing Muslim Societies
The essays in Islamic Ecumene address the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit.Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity.To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways.The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals.Using the insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the more than one billion people across the planet who identify as Muslims.

Comparing Globalizations : Historical and World-Systems Approaches
This work explores essential debates on globalization and world-systems analysis.It begins with a review of theoretical insights from world-systems analysis and explains the evolution of its terminology.The book subsequently seeks to answer several important questions: When did globalization begin and what insights into contemporary globalization may be gained from older forms?How does globalization differ in different places, and how can different instances of globalization be compared?Who is affected by globalization, how are they affected, and how do these effects vary, if at all, over time and space?As world-systems analysis and studies of globalization require interdisciplinary expertise, the contributing authors draw on many fields, including anthropology, economics, geography, philosophy, political science, sociology, and world history.The book’s overall goal is to facilitate the dialogue between approaches that, at times, seem to “talk at cross-purposes,” and toextend an invitation to scholars from many different areas to explore globalization.
