Time magazine stated that Game of Thrones is the most popular show in the world. It took the viewers to a remote, unknown past through an atmosphere of a dream world which comes into being with the help of the creation of an illusion. The strange, supernatural, and extraordinary world of beauty, fear, awe, mystery, talisman, and gallantry is created. Since these events occur in a centuries-old world far away from modern times, the viewers can enjoy them and believe that once upon a time they really may have happened.One hundred years ago, on the other side of the globe, some historical novelists and historical romancers in India created similar artworks in the Hindi language. These works con...
This thematic volume in the series Studies in Private International Law – Asia outlines the general choice of law and recognition rules relating to family matters of 15 Asian jurisdictions: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India.

With contributions by leading Asian private international law experts, the book proposes necessary reforms for each of the jurisdictions analysed as well as for Asia as a whole.
Dalam Kompilasi Hukum Islam, setidaknya ada empat isu yang berkaitan dengan disabilitas; wali nikah, saksi nikah, talak, dan poligami. Dua topik yang pertama tidak banyak ditulis, padahal keduanya merupakan unsur penting dalam pernikahan di Indonesia. Kesahan nikah pun juga tergantung bagaimana status kelayakan wali dan saksi nikah. Kompilasi Hukum Islam sendiri telah menetapkan bahwa wali nikah penyandang disabilitas wicara dan rungu tidak memilik hak perwalian (pasal 22). Sementara dalam persaksian, hanya penyandang disabilitas rungu yang tidak diperbolehkan (pasal 25). Di sinilah penghulu berperan dalam menentukan status kelayakan keduanya. Apakah penghulu juga mengiyakan bunyi pasal itu ...

This monograph analyses the rhythms of war and the geopolitical significance of Afghanistan with a focus on the interrelated concepts of weak/rentier state, great power rivalry, and counter-insurgency.

The Mughals, British and Soviets all failed to subjugate Afghanistan, failures which offer valuable lessons for today. Taking a long historical perspective from 1520 to 2012, this volume examines the Mughal, British, Soviet and NATO efforts in Afghanistan, drawing on new archives and a synthesis of previous counter-insurgency experiences. Special emphasis is given to ecology, terrain and logistics to explain sub-conventional operations and state-building in Afghanistan. War and State-Building in Modern Afghanistan provides an overall synthesis of British, Russian, American and NATO military activities in Afghanistan, which directly links past experiences to the current challenges. These timely essays are particularly relevant to contemporary debates about NATO's role in Afghanistan; do the war and state-building policies currently employed by NATO forces undercut or enhance a political solution? The essays in this volume introduce new historical perspectives on this debate, and will prove illuminating reading for students and scholars interested in military history, the history of warfare, international relations and comparative politics.
