#AI #GenerativeAI #AITraining #Microsoft #Routledge: "Authors have expressed their shock after the news that academic publisher Taylor & Francis, which owns Routledge, had sold access to its authors’ research as part of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) partnership with Microsoft—a deal worth almost £8m ($10m) in its first year.

The agreement with Microsoft was included in a trading update by the publisher’s parent company in May this year. However, academics published by the group claim they have not been told about the AI deal, were not given the opportunity to opt out and are receiving no extra payment for the use of their research by the tech company.

The Society of Authors said it is "concerned to see publishers signing deals with tech companies without consulting authors and creators first"."

New Zionism and the Foreign Policy System of Israel (RLE Israel and Palestine)

This book, first published in 1986, examines how New Zionism came to dominate Israeli politics and it investigates the implications of this new ideology for the future of the Middle East.

#Zionism
#Routledge

The invasion of Lebanon was the culmination of an extraordinary change which New Zionism created in Israel’s foreign policy system. After the Six-Day War the ideology of Socialist Zionism became increasingly discredited and replaced by the New Zionist quest for Eretz Israel. Hardened by the harsh experience of the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict and enhanced by the threatening image of the enemy, the political culture in Israel became less tolerant and more receptive to the language of New Zionism. As a result, Begin’s Likud came to power in 1977 and quickly changed the whole basis of Israel’s foreign policy. Instead of the cautious pragmatism of Socialist Zionism the Begin government pursued the ‘grand design’ that had enjoyed a long tradition in Revisionist thinking. Although General Sharon was responsible for the actual conduct of the war, it was the New Zionist propensity to use military force to introduce a new order in the Middle East which was responsible for the invasion. The book suggests that it is still too early to assess the full impact of the war in Lebanon on New Zionism. Although the war failed to validate any of the ‘grand design’ tenets of New Zionism, the violent Shiite response in Southern Lebanon may serve to strengthen the New Zionist hard line. This could hasten the annexation of the occupied territories as the final stage of turning the State of Israel into the Land of Israel.

Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies

Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance today has become a highly influential topic in its own right, commanding growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars have begun to explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing.

Routledge Handbook of Environmental Policy

This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art review of research on environmental policy and governance.

#Routledge

The Routledge Handbook of Environmental Policy has a strong focus on new problem structures – a perspective that emphasizes the preconditions and processes of environmental policymaking – and a comparative approach that covers all levels of local, national, and global policymaking. The volume examines the different conditions under which environmental policymaking takes place in different regions of the world and tracks the theoretical, conceptual, and empirical developments that have been made in recent years. It also highlights emerging areas where new and/or additional research and reflection are warranted. Divided into four key parts, the accessible structure and the nature of the contributions allow the reader to quickly find a concise expert review on topics that are most likely to arise in the course of conducting research or developing policy, and to obtain a broad, reliable survey of what is presently known about the subject.
The resulting compendium is an essential resource for students, scholars, and policymakers working in this vital field.

Routledge Handbook of Environmental Security

The Routledge Handbook on Environmental Security provides a comprehensive, accessible, and sophisticated overview of the field of environmental security.

#security
#Routledge

The volume outlines the defining theories, major policy and programming interventions, and applied research surrounding the relationship between the natural environment and human and national security. Through the use of large-scale research and ground-level case analyses from across the globe, it details how environmental factors affect human security and contribute to the onset and continuation of violent conflict. It also examines the effects of violent conflict on the social and natural environment and the importance of environmental factors in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
Organized around the conflict cycle, the handbook is split into four thematic sections:
• Section I: Environmental factors contributing to conflict;
• Section II: The environment during conflict;
• Section III: The role of the environment in post-conflict peacebuilding; and
• Section IV: Cross-cutting themes and critical perspectives.
This handbook will be essential reading for students of environmental studies, human security, global governance, development studies, and international relations in general.

I'm a bit confused by how #Routledge describes the ebooks they are selling.

Do they sell their ebooks as #DRM -free PDFs or EPUB files? Because if these files have DRM, I might as well get the print versions.

https://www.routledge.com/our-products/ebooks

It looks like there is an open letter to #Routledge, asking them to reinstate a censored book chapter and problematizing the fact that commercial publishers are in a position to directly censor academic publications.
