Insurgent Empire

Much has been written on how colonial subjects took up British and European ideas and turned them against empire when making claims to freedom and self-determination. The possibility of reverse influence has been largely overlooked. Insurgent Empire shows how Britain's enslaved and colonial subjects were not merely victims of empire and subsequent beneficiaries of its crises of conscience but also agents whose resistance both contributed to their own liberation and shaped British ideas about freedom and who could be free. This book examines dissent over the question of empire in Britain and shows how it was influenced by rebellions and resistance in the colonies from the West Indies and East Africa to Egypt and India. It also shows how a pivotal role in fomenting dissent was played by anticolonial campaigners based in London, at the heart of the empire.

Why do women go to war? Despite the reality that female combatants exist the world over, we still know relatively little about who these women are, what motivates them to take up arms, how they are utilized by armed groups, and what happens to them when war ends. This book uses three case studies to explore variation in women’s participation in nonstate armed groups in a range of contemporary political and social contexts: the civil war in Ukraine, the conflicts involving Kurdish groups in the Middle East, and the civil war in Colombia. In particular, the authors examine three important aspects of women’s participation in armed groups: mobilization, participation in combat, and conflict cessation. In doing so, they shed light on women’s pathways into and out of nonstate armed groups. They also address the implications of women’s participation in these conflicts for policy, including postconflict programming. This is an accessible and timely work that will be a useful introduction to another side of contemporary conflict.

The thrillingly dark sequel to New York Times bestseller, DIVERGENT – a major motion picture series.

This ground-breaking book was published in 2000 and is being re-issued under the Marshall Cavendish Academic imprint. The book chronicles the rise of the Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) from its humble beginnings in the days of the Great Depression to its distinguished status among the world's top 500 banks. Using a business model that combined Chinese values with Western management, the men at the helm of OCBC transformed it from a dialect-based family concern into a modern, innovative institution. Foremost among its many able leaders was Tan Chin Tuan, whose half a century with the bank made him synonymous with the OCBC. Much of the story of the OCBC is inextricably linked to Tan Chin Tuan, his philosophy, his management style and leadership. This account of the OCBC story provides an insightful case study of Chinese firms, which still dominate the majority of business enterprises in Singapore and Southeast Asia. The ideals and thinking of Tan Chin Tuan were instrumental in the successful transformation of the traditional family bank into a modern economic institution. This is the lasting legacy bequeathed by the merchant banker, business leader, institutional builder and public figure. In writing this book, the authors conducted numerous exclusive
