TPP and China: A Tale of Two Economic Orderings?
Authors: Tao Jing 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
How China reacts to a potential US-led TPP or the current TPP11, and whether a China-centric ordering is compatible with a US-led one, will be determined by both domestic and geopolitical factors. These include China’s domestic economic structure and reform agenda, as well as China’s relative power vis-à-vis the United States and the strategic interaction between the two countries. Due to a variety of domestic constraints—such as the dominant role of SOEs and a reliance on industrial policy to move up GVCs—TPP or TPP11 is unlikely to make China substantially deepen its domestic economic reform or converge toward a hard law-based liberal economic ordering. Nevertheless, China’s perception of the potential negative economic and geo-political impacts of a US-led TPP has strengthened its will and efforts to establish a China-centric regional ordering: China has accelerated both its RCEP negotiations and the implementation of its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative. A China-centric ordering will exhibit mixed features of both market and statist components.
Power and Inequality in Megaregulation: The TPP Model
Authors: Chimni B. S. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Neo-Marxist approaches have begun again to exercise influence in contemporary critiques of globalization. This chapter sketches a transnational and national class-based analysis of international trade-regulatory agreements, using the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as the representative ideal type. With this framework, it looks at the implications of the TPP model for developing countries in the area of foreign investment and intellectual property rights in the matrix of the recent evolution of these two regimes. It further examines strategies available to the United States and India as their different domestic class constellations struggle over the countries’ political positioning towards economic globalization.
TPP’s Business Asymmetries: Megaregulation and the Conditions of Competition Between MNCs and SMEs
Authors: Ciuriak Dan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Megaregulation promises a seamless operating environment to facilitate international engagement by firms large and small. However, it also entails fixed costs of access to preferential trade windows, trade facilitation mechanisms, and consultative mechanisms, which weigh more heavily on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) than on larger competitors, and features other asymmetries that play to the advantage of the already large, established firms. This chapter takes up the question of whether pro-SME measures built into megaregional agreements can effectively offset these biases and promote conditions of competition both internationally and domestically that enhance business dynamism or whether it reinforces observed trends toward greater concentration and waning business dynamism.
Thailand and Public Health: Looking Beyond the Intellectual Property Chapter of TPP
Authors: Adachi Kiyoshi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Thailand is one of a handful of countries that is contemplating accession to CPTPP. Despite the pronouncements of its leaders, however, national consensus for early accession to join the treaty remains elusive. This contribution contrasts the accession debate in Thailand with the negotiation and ratification process of Vietnam, which is a party to the treaty. The analysis shows that the lack of consensus in Thailand is rooted in deeper causes that may not be addressed by the suspension of certain intellectual property and investor–state dispute settlement clauses from the original TPP12 text.
Childhood memories
Authors: Lev Kenaan Vered 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
An analysis in which the Homeric digression intersects with Freud’s notion of regression leads into a comprehensive reading of the Homeric episode of the foot washing of the Odyssey, Book 19. The chapter concentrates on the mnemonic function of the scar in the Homeric epic and Sophocles’ tragedy. The chapter considers the significance of Oedipus’ childhood memories in shaping the tragic plot of Oedipus Rex as a tragedy of recollection. Oedipus’ and Odysseus’ scars bring home something that has collapsed into forgetfulness. The chapter discusses the significance of ancient and Freudian figures and images of scars as junctions of forgetting and remembering, and shows how ancient narratives of memory (Odysseus) and forgetfulness (Oedipus) can inform our understanding of Freud’s notion of the dream navel.
The unconscious as a figura futurorum
Authors: Lev Kenaan Vered 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The triangulation of classics, psychoanalysis, and comparative literature is the proper context for discussing the exegetical significance of what Erich Auerbach, the father of comparative literature, turned into a conceptual cornerstone: the figura futurorum. Reading Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex through the lens of Auerbach’s figura futurorum, the chapter explains the fruitfulness of analogy for psychoanalysis and comparative literature and the kinds of linking (Oedipus–Hamlet, savage–neurotic) that have been crucial in the making of Oedipus’ future into the central plot of psychoanalysis. The universalism of Freud’s claims for psychoanalysis are examined, and shown to depend on his relation to classical antiquity in the formulation of his own experience.
Bonhoeffer’s Theological Anthropology and the Greater Tradition, Part I
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 2 (together with the subsequent Chapter 3) explores the similarities between Bonhoeffer’s theological anthropology and patristic views of human nature to show that Bonhoeffer’s anthropology is not a reversal of patristic thought but rather its creative continuation. The common root of their humanistic theology is Christology, particularly the recapitulation of humanity in Christ. After discussing the possible extent of patristic influence on his theology, the chapter outlines patristic humanism based on the fathers’ Christological interpretation of the imago dei and then aligns this view with the centrality of the incarnation in Bonhoeffer’s work. The remaining sections unfold further theological parallels between Bonhoeffer and patristic humanism in the Eucharist, the doctrine of the logos, Trinitarian communion, deification, and especially the congruence between Irenaeus’ recapitulation and Bonhoeffer’s Stellvertretung (vicarious representation). Already in earlier works, but particularly in Discipleship and later in Ethics, Bonhoeffer clearly shares Irenaeus’ assumption that Christ summed up and renewed in himself all of humanity, wherefore Christianity is not a belief system or religion but participation in the new humanity of Christ and therefore sharing in a new human reality.
In God’s Image
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 4 falls into two parts. The first relates Bonhoeffer’s interpretation of the imago dei in the biblical creation account to patristic readings. Bonhoeffer’s anthropology stresses freedom, relationality, embodiment, and stewardship of creation, affirming a human bond with animals and the earth. Bonhoeffer warns against the distortive effects of disordered desire that perverts these relations. The second part describes Bonhoeffer’s highly original phenomenology of the Christian self that informs his humanism. Based mainly on his distinction between the pathological Sicut Deus and the restored Imago Dei states of selfhood, Bonhoeffer accords a central role to conscience as indicative of a divided self whose freedom for discerning moral action in Christ is only restored through God’s healing power of grace. Only in communion with God does a unified self and holistic, fully human existence become possible. The chapter ends by outlining implications of Bonhoeffer’s anthropology for the existential humanisms of Heidegger, Sartre, and Camus.
Living Freely before God
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 6 outlines the main features of Bonhoeffer’s Christian Humanist ethics. Bonhoeffer’s ethical realism and rejection of moralistic legalism is based on ethics defined as participation in Christ whose incarnation and person structure reality as a whole. The chapter begins by showing that the personal and eschatological structure of this Christological realism exonerates Bonhoeffer from the charge of collapsing reality into Christ. The next section delineates the goal of Bonhoeffer’s ethics as Christformation with its essential aspects of renewal into the divine image through the work of the Holy Spirit, through ecclesial communion, through Christian action in the world, and by means of the sedimentation of Christian virtues in cultural traditions. Next, the chapter takes up from the previous one the hermeneutic element of discernment in describing ethics with Bonhoeffer as realistic responsible action. Realistic responsible action denotes the call to action in response to concrete circumstances within a creation oriented toward Christ. Such realistic action includes the risk of freedom along with the assumption of guilt. Realistic responsible action explains the meaning of this famous and often misunderstood concept of guilt bearing in Bonhoeffer rooted in his sacramental, participatory ontology. The chapter ends with a summative description of Bonhoeffer’s Humanist ethics as living freely before God.
The Vulnerability of the Word
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 7 demonstrates the importance of biblical interpretation to Bonhoeffer’s Christian humanism. Beginning with the Barthian inspiration for a theological reading of scripture as the book of the church, Bonhoeffer develops a biblical hermeneutic for transformative, humanist reading of the Bible that incorporates historical critical tools in seeking out God’s address in concrete life situations. After describing Bonhoeffer’s incarnational approach to the biblical text, and his criticism of verbal inspiration, the middle portion of this chapter describes Bonhoeffer’s theological interpretation of the Old Testament, pointing out striking parallels to patristic interpretation, including the Bible’s sacramental role for Christformation. The same sacramental ontology that governs his general hermeneutics and ethics also help explain Bonhoeffer’s often misunderstood notions of non-religious interpretation of biblical concepts, non-religious Christianity, and a world come of age. The remainder of the chapter clarifies the meaning and humanist implications of these ideas, showing their congruence with Bonhoeffer’s increasing appreciation of the Old Testament’s importance for a this-worldly Christianity that celebrates God’s presence in the midst of life.
Billy Budd and Melville’s Retirement
Authors: Riley Peter 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter reassesses biographical and critical accounts of Melville’s exit from the workforce in 1885, examining the vocational vacillations that produced Billy Budd. Melville’s final writings did not signal a release from the quotidian world of work into one last affirmative creative garret, but another opportunity to practice his ongoing commitment to “becoming-other”: “Billy in the Darbies” consciously sets up and then undermines the Romantic trope of an isolated solitary singer, finally “set free.” “Late Melville” approached literary composition and revision as an extension of other forms of work and his diverse writings consistently display a preoccupation with challenging preconceptions concerning the writer’s calling. Though seen as the archetype of frustrated vocation in American Letters, Melville remained intensely self-conscious and skeptical of vocational thinking throughout his career.
The United States of America
Authors: Dombrowski Peter , Reich Simon 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The study of American grand strategy is dominated by historians who describe former grand strategies, and international relations scholars who prescribe what it should be. In contrast to either approach, this chapter has three components: First, it identifies the national cultural influences, the key elements of the mythic “American Creed,” that provide the emblematic foundations of contemporary American grand strategy. Second, it describes the historical evolution of the institutional mechanisms that both formulate and implement American grand strategy, and how those institutions actually operate in the modern era. And third, relating these elements, it explains the parameters of American grand strategic planning—how it operates in practice. This includes an overt reliance on military instruments and a conscious sensitivity to field conditions in implementation that may undermine the most grand strategic designs. The chapter concludes by contemplating the prospects for continuity and change in American grand strategy.
Israel
Authors: Shamir Eitan 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A traditional approach views grand strategy as primarily concerned with a state’s external affairs: consolidating national security by employing a combination of state capabilities that utilize economic, diplomatic, and military power instruments. Israel’s founders, in contrast, stressed the importance of internal factors such as legitimacy, social cohesion, and economic disparity as essential conditions for national survival. Bearing these benchmark features in mind, Israel’s varied, enduring challenges continue to raise the dilemma of what constitutes both the theoretical and practical boundaries of the country’s grand strategy. Indeed, an examination of the country’s strategic blueprint reveals a constant ambivalence—between focusing on domestic issues and the urgent need to respond to security and diplomatic challenges. The continuous definition and redefinition of what comprises grand strategy reflect the various forces in play in shaping the country’s strategic choices, in the context of an environment where these three founding considerations are continually challenged.
Celestial Cartography
Authors: Owens Thomas 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 2 documents the place of the Moon and the night sky in the communal life of the Wordsworths and Coleridge at Alfoxden and Grasmere by tracing an interwoven series of scientific, natural, and typographical crescents in their poems, notebooks, and letters, before culminating in a reading of the 1802 revisions made to the Preface to Lyrical Ballads. It shows that star-gazing, far from being injurious to their sensibilities, was most often a memorializing pleasure for the poets and their families in the absence of John Wordsworth. The chapter focuses on the workings of allusion and communal memory in Dorothy Wordsworth’s Journals; Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, ‘A Letter to ——’, and ‘A Soliloquy of the Full Moon’; and Wordsworth’s ‘Peter Bell’ and ‘The Thorn’.
Circuits
Authors: Burnham Michelle 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter reads the dynamics of gender and racial violence in Leonora Sansay’s 1808 novel Secret History in transoceanic context. Even as the French Atlantic triangle generated enormous wealth through enormous exploitation, encounters and events in the transnational Pacific were laying bare the unequal terms and coercive relations that underpinned such triangles and the circuits that spun around them. Set in Saint Domingue during the Haitian Revolution, the novel situates the violence of both marital and plantation intimacies within the turning global circuits of sexual-economic drive and their production of disproportion and inequality. By presenting French European and French creole desire in terms of a sexualized colonialism and a pornographic capitalism, Secret History exposes the rotations of capitalist drive as a violent obscenity, and revolution as its violent offspring.
Bayesian Statistics for Beginners
Authors: Donovan Therese , Mickey Ruth M. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Bayesian Statistics for Beginners is an entry-level book on Bayesian statistics. It is like no other math book you’ve read. It is written for readers who do not have advanced degrees in mathematics and who may struggle with mathematical notation, yet need to understand the basics of Bayesian inference for scientific investigations. Intended as a “quick read,” the entire book is written as an informal, humorous conversation between the reader and writer—a natural way to present material for those new to Bayesian inference. The most impressive feature of the book is the sheer length of the journey, from introductory probability to Bayesian inference and applications, including Markov Chain Monte Carlo approaches for parameter estimation, Bayesian belief networks, and decision trees. Detailed examples in each chapter contribute a great deal, where Bayes’ Theorem is at the front and center with transparent, step-by-step calculations. A vast amount of material is covered in a lighthearted manner; the journey is relatively pain-free. The book is intended to jump-start a reader’s understanding of probability, inference, and statistical vocabulary that will set the stage for continued learning. Other features include multiple links to web-based material, an annotated bibliography, and detailed, step-by-step appendices.
Taking Prudence Seriously
Authors: Fletcher Guy 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Philosophers have long theorized about which things make people’s lives go well, and why, and the extent to which morality and self-interest can be reconciled. Yet little time has been spent on meta-prudential questions, questions about prudential discourse. This is surprising given that prudence is, prima facie, a normative form of discourse and, as such, cries out for further investigation. Chapter 4 takes up two major meta-prudential questions. It first examines whether there is a set of prudential reasons, generated by evaluative prudential properties, and defends the view that evaluative well-being facts generate agent-relative reasons (for action or for attitudes) for the relevant agent. It also investigates whether prudential discourse is normative. It is proposed that prudential discourse is normative by arguing that prudential judgements are normative judgements. The case for this is presented by analogy with moral discourse by showing that the features of moral judgements that metaethicists appeal to when articulating, explaining, and justifying the claim that moral judgements are normative are also possessed by prudential judgements. Various objections to the analogy are also considered.
International Heritage Law for Communities
Authors: Lixinski Lucas 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This book critically engages the shortcomings of the field of international heritage law, seen through the lenses of the five major UNESCO treaties for the safeguarding of different types of heritage. It argues that these five treaties have, by design or in their implementation, effectively prevented local communities, who bear the brunt of the costs associated with international heritage protection, from having a say in how their heritage is managed. The exclusion of local communities often alienates them not only from international decision-making processes but also from their cultural heritage itself, ultimately meaning that systems put in place for the protection of cultural heritage contribute to its disappearance in the long term. The book adds to existing literature by looking at these UNESCO treaties not as isolated regimes, which is the common practice in the field, but rather as belonging to a discursive continuum on cultural heritage. Rather than scrutinizing the regimes themselves, the book focuses on themes that cut across the relevant UNESCO regimes, such as the use of expert rule in international heritage law, economics, and the relationship between heritage and the environment. It uses this mechanism to highlight the blind spots and unintended consequences of UNESCO treaties and how choices made in their drafting have continuing and potentially negative impacts on how we think about and safeguard heritage. The book is of interest to cultural heritage scholars and practitioners across all disciplines, as well as to international lawyers interested in the dynamics of fragmented subfields.
A meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies on pain empathy: investigating the role of visual information and observers’ perspective
Authors: Jauniaux Josiane , Khatibi Ali , Rainville Pierre , Jackson Philip L 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Empathy relies on brain systems that support the interaction between an observer’s mental state and cues about the others’ experience. Beyond the core brain areas typically activated in pain empathy studies (insular and anterior cingulate cortices), the diversity of paradigms used may reveal secondary networks that subserve other more specific processes. A coordinate-based meta-analysis of fMRI experiments on pain empathy was conducted to obtain activation likelihood estimates along three factors and seven conditions: visual cues (body parts, facial expressions), visuospatial (first-person, thirdperson), and cognitive (self-, stimuli-, other-oriented tasks) perspectives. The core network was found across cues and perspectives, and common activation was observed in higher-order visual areas. Body-parts distinctly activated areas related with sensorimotor processing (superior and inferior parietal lobules, anterior insula) while facial expression distinctly involved the inferior frontal gyrus. Self- compared to other-perspective produced distinct activations in the left insula while stimulus- versus other-perspective produced distinctive responses in the inferior frontal and parietal lobules, precentral gyrus, and cerebellum. Pain empathy relies on a core network which is modulated by several secondary networks. The involvement of the latter seems to depend on the visual cues available and the observer's mental state that can be influenced by specific instructions.
Investigating the US biomedical workforce: Gender, field of training, and retention
Authors: Winkler Anne E , Levin Sharon G , Allison Michael T 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The biomedical research workforce plays a crucial role in fostering economic growth and improving public health through discoveries and innovations. This study fills a knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive portrait of this workforce and retention within it. A distinguishing feature is that we use an occupation-based definition which allows us to look ‘backward’ to field of training and assess the extent to which it has grown more interdisciplinary, and how this differs by gender. The analysis is conducted using restricted-use SESTAT data, the most comprehensive dataset on the scientific workforce in the USA, for the years 1993, 2003, and 2010. Among the findings, we identify differences in interdisciplinarity in training by gender, and these differences have widened. In the retention analysis, which focuses on the 7-year period, 2003–10, we find that retention is negatively and significantly associated with interdisciplinary training for women, but not for men.
