Description
How was Istanbul, once the capital of the Ottoman Empire and now the financial heart of contemporary Turkey, provisioned in the early 19th century?
Tracing how the sovereign's duty to provision the city and protect his subjects from hunger was gradually transferred to the market and became a responsibility of the subjects (later, citizens) alone, Feeding Istanbul makes a compelling case for situating food politics, and politics of urban provisioning in particular, at the centre of our conceptualisation of the relationship between the sovereign and the political community.

Apprentice's Sorcerer, The: Liberal Tradition And Fascism
20th century European Fascism is conventionally described as a fierce assault on liberal politics, culture, and economics. Departing from this analysis, The Apprentice's Sorcerer highlights the long overlooked critical affinities between the liberal tradition and fascism. Far from being the antithesis of liberalism, fascism both in ideology and practice was substantially, if dialectically, indebted to liberalism; particularly its economic variant....Paperback$10300Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -

State Transformations
It is often remarked that critical—and especially Marxist—state theory began to lose its central place in the study of comparative politics in the 1980s. Ironically, this shift occurred just as neoliberal policies were transforming the social form and spatial scales of the state, radically restructuring the practices of state economic intervention, and extending the capabilities of the coercive arms of...Paperback$11800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
