Syntactic AnalysisAn HPSG-based Approach

Robert D. Levine, Ohio State University

This advanced-level textbook takes a critical approach to the analysis of syntactic structures, using a highly restrictive analytic toolkit to introduce students to the methods of syntactic analysis that have proven successful in accounting for a huge range of phenomena in natural language sentence patterns.Click here to read more.

The Domesticationof an Illusion

The RighT of Self-DeTeRminaTion

of PeoPleS

The right of self-determination of peoples holds out the promise ofsovereign statehood for all peoples and a domination-free internationalorder. But it also harbors the danger of state fragmentation that canthreaten international stability if claims of self-determination lead tosecession. Covering both the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century independence movements in the Americas and the twentieth-century decolonization worldwide, this book examines the conceptualand political history of the right of self-determination of peoples. Italso addresses the political contexts in which the right and conceptwere formulated and the practices developed to restrain its potentiallyanarchic character; its inception in anticolonialism, nationalism, and thelabor movement; its instrumentalization at the end of the First WorldWar in a formidable duel that Wilson lost to Lenin; its abuse by Hitler;the path after the Second World War to its recognition as a human rightin 1966; and its continuing impact after decolonization.

Jörg Fisch is Professor Emeritus of Modern History at the Universityof Zurich.

HO

NG“Replete with lively prose and compelling protagonists, but also steeled

by compendious historical research, this book tells the story of Cold War humanitarianism as refracted through a divided Germany. Hong unwraps

the reality of global humanitarianism as ulterior politics rather than universal principle. But she also shows how humanitarian actions may be principled, in

unexpected ways, because of politics.”

Mark A. Drumbl, Transnational Law Institute, Washington and Lee University

“Set very astutely in the larger context of the Cold War between the two superpower blocs, this is the first major study in English on the competition among East and West Germany to help shape ‘Third World’ societies through humanitarian aid

and healthcare policies. Hong’s focus on the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Algeria, the Congo, and Zanzibar provides surprising and genuinely new perspectives on half a century of global conflict. This rich and wide-ranging, yet nuanced study will be

of great interest also to researchers in the history of medicine, and the U.N., and its specialized agencies and philanthropy.”

V. R. Berghahn, Columbia University

“This is an inspired study of the contest between the socialist and capitalist modernizing projects of East and West Germany carried out in Africa and Asia

through humanitarian aid projects deeply flawed by racist assumptions translated into the language of underdevelopment. Young-sun Hong has delved into a rich source base and emerged with a sophisticated cultural and social history of the

neocolonial encounter among migrants, health workers, and ordinary people in transnational networks that transcended the framework of the Cold War. The book exemplifies the best kind of new scholarship in transnational history and presents a

persuasive challenge to traditional Cold War historiography.”

Cold War Germany, the Third World,

and the

Global HumanitarianRegime

YOUNG - SUN HONG

This book examines competition and collaboration among Western powers, the socialist bloc, and the Third World for control over humanitarian aid programs during the Cold War. Young-sun Hong’s analysis reevaluates the established parameters of German history. On the one hand, global humanitarian efforts functioned as an arena for a three-way political power struggle. On the other hand, they gave rise to transnational spaces that allowed for multidimensional social and cultural encounters. Hong paints an unexpected view of the global humanitarian regime: Algerian insurgents flown to East Germany for medical care, barefoot Chinese doctors in Tanzania, and West and East German doctors working together in the Congo. She also provides a rich analysis of the experiences of African trainees and Asian nurses in the two Germanys. This book brings an urgently needed historical perspective to contemporary debates on global governance, which largely concern humanitarianism, global health, South–North relationships, and global migration.
