Book Description
For decades, the heartland of Myanmar has been configured as a pacified space under military surveillance. A closer look reveals how politics is enacted at distance with the state. Calibrated Engagement weaves together ethnography and history to chronicle the transformation of rural politics in Anya, the dry lands of central Myanmar. The book presents situations as varied as local elections, inheritance transmissions, land conflicts and ceremonies, to show that politics is about how people calibrate the way they engage with each other.

Book Description
Since its founding, the United States has allied with unsavory dictatorships to thwart even more urgent security threats. How well has the United States managed such alliances, and what have been their consequences for its national security? In this book, Evan N. Resnick examines the negotiating tables between the United States and its allies of convenience since World War II and sets forth a novel theory of alliance bargaining. Resnick’s neoclassical realist theory explains why U.S. leaders negotiate less effectively with unfriendly autocratic states than with friendly liberal ones. Since policy makers struggle to mobilize domestic support for controversial alliances, they seek to cast those allies in the most benign possible light. Yet this strategy has the perverse result of weakening leverage in intra-alliance disputes. Resnick tests his theory on America’s Cold War era alliances with China, Pakistan, and Iraq. In all three cases, otherwise hardline presidents bargained anemically on such pivotal issues as China’s sales of ballistic missiles, Pakistan’s development of nuclear weapons, and Iraq’s sponsorship of international terrorism. In contrast, U.S. leaders are more inclined to bargain aggressively with democratic allies who do not provoke domestic opposition, as occurred with the United Kingdom during the Korean War. An innovative work on a crucial and timely international relations topic, Allies of Convenience explains why the United States has mismanaged these “deals with the devil”—with deadly consequences.

Book Description
The criteria, design, installation and flight calibration of a variable drag system are discussed. The system allows for variable lift/drag characteristics in the variable stability T-33 airplane. With this system in the special T-33, the airplane will be used to investigate the interactions between handling qualities and many drag characteristics including very low L/D and shapes of L/D curve for high L/D ratios.

Book Description
The International Handbook of Research in Professional and Practice-based Learning discusses what constitutes professionalism, examines the concepts and practices of professional and practice-based learning, including associated research traditions and educational provisions. It also explores professional learning in institutions of higher and vocational education as well the practice settings where professionals work and learn, focusing on both initial and ongoing development and how that learning is assessed. The Handbook features research from expert contributors in education, studies of the professions, and accounts of research methodologies from a range of informing disciplines. It is organized in two parts. The first part sets out conceptions of professionalism at work, how professions, work and learning can be understood, and examines the kinds of institutional practices organized for developing occupational capacities. The second part focuses on procedural issues associated with learning for and through professional practice, and how assessment of professional capacities might progress. The key premise of this Handbook is that during both initial and ongoing professional development, individual learning processes are influenced and shaped through their professional environment and practices. Moreover, in turn, the practice and processes of learning through practice are shaped by their development, all of which are required to be understood through a range of research orientations, methods and findings. This Handbook will appeal to academics working in fields of professional practice, including those who are concerned about developing these capacities in their students. In addition, students and research students will also find this Handbook a key reference resource to the field.

Book Description
"In the history of the US-Japan alliance, the so-called Okinawa problem-how to alleviate the burden of Okinawa's hosting of over seventy-five percent of US forces in Japan-remains to be one of the toughest alliance management issues for US and Japanese policymakers. Over the past two years, twelve experts on the US-Japan alliance have met periodically to discuss the various strategic and political aspects of this unique relationship, with special attention paid to the unusually large role Okinawa has played in housing US troops in Japan. Analyzing US force realignments in the Asia-Pacific region that have been ongoing as part of the Global Posture Review (GPR), Strategic Yet Strained: US Force Realignment in Japan and its Effects on Okinawa is a culmination of these conversations, providing a comprehensive overview of where the US-Japan alliance has been, where it is now, and where it will be going in the future. With six Japanese researchers and six American perspectives, Strategic Yet Strained offers rare insight into how the complicated relationships of Washington, Tokyo, and the local government of Okinawa affect the Us-Japan alliance and the entire security of East Asia."--Provided by publisher
