Germany and Pakistan
This book explores Germany’s political, economic, defence, nuclear and cultural relations as well as defence cooperation with and arms transfers to Pakistan from 1949 to the present day. Pakistan shares a multidimensional relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany, which is its largest trading partner within the European Union and a significant donor. Drawing on extensive English and German language source material, including declassified documents of the German Foreign Office, this book reveals for the first time details of conversations between Pakistani and German leaders and officials. Filling a long‐felt gap in the available literature on Europe‐South Asia relations, this well‐researched book examines mutual perceptions, the complexity, the elements of convergence and divergence as well as the challenges and prospects of Germany’s relations with Pakistan. This book will be a valuable contribution to the field of International Relations, International History, as well as Pakistan’s and Germany’s foreign policies.
Transcultural Encounters between Germany and India
Providing a comprehensive survey of cutting edge scholarship in the field of German--Indian and South Asian Studies, the book looks at the history of German--Indian relations in the spheres of culture, politics, and intellectual life. Combining transnational, post-colonial, and comparative approaches, it includes the entire twentieth century, from the First World War and Weimar Republic to the Third Reich and Cold War era. The book first examines the ways in which nineteenth-century "Indomania" figured in the creation of both German national identity and modern German scholarship on the Orient, and it illustrates how German encounters with India in the Imperial era alternately destabilized a...
Competing Perspectives of Development
Developmental policies frequently have contradictory effects. These typically play out in different sectors of life and are analyzed in different academic disciplines, using different assumptions, methods and bodies of literature. The results translate into conflicting political demands. This volume argues that keeping two separate narratives distorts reality and prevents a full understanding of development and its challenges. Over the last 200 years, life has become better. People around the world have grown taller and lived longer, benefitting from growing wealth, better nutrition, better housing, better clothing, more tax revenues and better healthcare policies. Life has also become worse...
The Lost Fragrance
A little girl has to avenge the death of her parents. She must travel to the neither-here-nor-there land, a secret place hidden in shadows and whispers. The voyage turns out to be more than she bargained for, as the final battle draws her into the mystery and the dangers of self-discovery. The Lost Fragrance brings back the old-world charm of storytelling, conjuring up characters out of thin air and creating a world of magic and mystery. It is an adventure story woven around the eternal theme of good and evil. It is about the joy of music and love, of death and of letting go.
Lessons from Ruslana
Ruslana was the face of a Nina Ricci perfume. With her striking features, she took the fashion world by storm and quickly became the toast of the glitterati. But who was she really, and why did she look so unhappy? No one would know until, one day, they discovered that she was just another lost and lonely girl. With Ruslana's tragic world as the centrepiece of this motivational masterclass, Amit Dasgupta explores why we do what we do. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, such as, John Berger, Viktor Frankl, Akira Kurosawa, Zen Buddhism and many others, he takes the reader on an inspirational journey, unravelling the mystery behind the one question that haunts us: why am I unhappy, why do I fail, will I ever matter?
