The Two-edged Sea by Nahrain Al-Mousawi Pdf

"Clandestine migration from North Africa across the Mediterranean has been explored widely in the fields of social science in the past decade, but representations of undocumented migration in literature have not been subject to significant attention and analysis. Charting literary undocumented journeys from the Mediterranean's southern shores to the global North, the book contributes not only to the discourse on migration literature but on ideas of the Mediterranean as both a dividing border and unifying contact zone, especially vital to the contemporary resurgence of the study of seas"--

Two-Edged Sword by Nicholas Tracy Pdf

In the first major study of the Royal Canadian Navy's contribution to foreign policy, Nicholas Tracy takes a comprehensive look at the paradox that Canada faces in participating in a system of collective defence as a means of avoiding subordination to other countries. Created in 1910 to support Canadian autonomy, the Royal Canadian Navy has played an important role in defining Canada's relationship with the United Kingdom, the United States, and NATO. Initially involved with participation in Imperial and Commonwealth defence, the RCN's role shifted following the Second World War to primarily ensuring the survival of the NATO alliance and deflecting American influence over Canada. Tracy demonstrates the ways in which the Navy's priorities have realigned since the end of the Cold War, this time partnering with the US and NATO navies in global policing. Insightful, detailed, and grounded in solid historical scholarship, A Two-Edged Sword presents a complete portrait of the shifting relevance and future of a cornerstone of Canadian defence.
