The autonomous life? : Paradoxes of hierarchy and authority in the squatters …

This book focuses on how the 'press' reacted, when press freedom was under strain in number of cases in the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Contemporary literature on the freedom of the press has its focus on the role of the pr…

The contributions analyse (post-)conflict as well as non-conflict contexts, which too often are studied in isolation from one another. Focusing on contem…

Mound 1 was the original location for sett…
