Human Liberty and Freedom of Speech

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Baker, C. Edwin, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Although an inchoate liberty theory of freedom of speech has deep roots in Supreme Court decisions and political history, it has been overshadowed in judicial decisions and scholarly commentary by the marketplace of ideas theory. In this book, Baker critiques the assumptions required by the marketplace of ideas theory and develops the liberty theory, showing its philosophical soundness, persuasiveness, and ability to protect free speech. He argues that First Amendment liberty rights (as well as Fourteenth Amendment equality rights) required by political or moral theory are central to the possibility of progressive change. Problem areas are examined, including the question of whether individual political and civil rights can in principle be distinguished from property rights, freedom of the press, and the use of public spaces for expressive purposes.

Cultural Theory and Cultural Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Featherstone, Mike, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Recent years have seen a significant reappraisal of the idea of culture within the social sciences, and a growing integration of theoretical concerns between the social sciences and the humanities. Debates over concepts such as postmodernism and cultural globalization have been symptomatic of a broader interdisciplinary interest in the social context of cultural practice. In this book an international cast of eminent theorists examines a series of key questions on the borders of the cultural and the social. Ranging across a broad canvas, the contributors focus on different elements of cultural theory and cultural process: discourse, lifestyle, the emotions, the intelligentsia, social movements, postmodernism. Linking the chapters is a concern with the central role of European social theory in the current reappraisal of culture, and an assessment of its relation to other international traditions. This book, for an interdisciplinary readership, will serve as an outline of key concerns in cultural theory and an insight into the central insights of Theory, Culture and Society. The book is also published as issue 9.1 of Theory, Culture and Society.

Direct Methods in the Theory of Elliptic Equations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Necas, Jindrich / Tronel, Gerard / Kufner, Alois, PUBLISHER: Springer, Necas's famous book Direct methods in the theory of elliptic equations has become standard reference material on the mathematical theory of linear elliptic equations and systems, and also on the related function spaces framework. It provides a concise and self-contained introduction to the modern theory of partial differential equations, the theory of weak solutions and related topics. It is recommended to scientists working in the field of partial differential equations, postgraduate and graduate students, and applied mathematicians. The first chapter is devoted to directs methods, introduction to the Sobolev spaces, weak solution, Lax-Milgram theorem, Galerkin metods and spectral theory. The second chapter deals with the basic properties of Sobolev spaces (imbeddings, traces, compact imbeddings, fractional spaces).The third chapter contains existence and uniqueness theorems for problems, including the Fredholm alternative and systems of equations with variable coefficients. The next chapter describes regularity properties of weak solutions. Chapter 5 deals with applications of Rellich's inequality and Chapter 6 introduces the Sobolev spaces with weights. Finally the last chapter studies regularity of solutions and their dependence on coefficients and also on irregular domains.

The Balance of Power: History and Theory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sheehan, Michael / Sheehan, M., PUBLISHER: Routledge, The balance of power is one of the most fundamental concepts behind international politics and provides a structure for explaining some of the essential principles behind international relations. Yet despite its widespread importance it remains an enigma and is surrounded by controversy. "The Balance of Power" traces the evolution of the theory from the eighteenth century to the present day. It incorporates classical anlysis and recent research to give a detailed account of the concept in practice and the operation of the international system while challenging traditional views of the balance of power. Its exploration of the way the balance of power operated in key historical periods shows how the generally accepted development of the concept is based on a misunderstanding of the historical reality.
