You're not French, are you?"So the letter from one near stranger to another begins, and so begins Tonu Onnepalu's novel of a life lived on the margin where East and West uneasily meet. At home in neither his native land nor his adopted country, the unnamed narrator writes ...(展开全部)

In Central Asia’s Ferghana Valley, where Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan meet, state territoriality has taken on new significance in these states’ second decade of independence, reshaping landscapes and transforming livelihoods in a densely populated, irrigation-dependent region. Through an innovative ethnography of social and spatial practice at the limits of the state,...(展开全部)

During the last three decades, inherited geographies of state power have been significantly unsettled. The primacy of forms of government organised along traditional, Westphalian lines has been undermined by the unprecedented rise of supranational and subnational levels of state power and by the proliferation of new forms of governance.

弗兰茨·奥本海默（英语：Franz Oppenheimer，1864年3月30日－1943年9月30日），生于柏林，死于加州洛杉矶，德国犹太社会学家，政治经济学家，出版的作品涉及主权国家的基本社会理念。 在弗雷堡和柏林学习了医学后，奥本海姆在1886至1895年间在柏林行医。自1890年以后，他开始倾向于研究社会政治学和社会经济学问题。在结束医生生涯后，他成为了《上午世界》（Welt am Morgen）杂志的主编，在这里结识了弗雷德里克·瑙曼，当时瑙曼还在替不同的报社挨家挨户送报纸。 1909年，奥本海姆凭借一篇论述经济学家大卫·李嘉图的论文获得了基尔大学的博士学位。自1909年至1917年，奥本海姆在柏林先是做无薪讲师，然后做了两年挂名教授。在1914年他成了“解放俄国犹太人德国委员会”组织的联合创始人之一。1919年他接受了法兰克福的约翰-沃尔...(展开全部)

This is the 1908 book that started it all in the 20th century, the book that kicked off a century of anti-state, pro-property writing.
