The World’s Easement
Authors: Powers Allison 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter traces how the United States repurposed the institution of international arbitration in 1903 to facilitate a novel mechanism of imperial intervention: international eminent domain. Drawing on the logic of domestic “takings” through which national, state, and municipal governments claimed private property in the public interest, the United States declared eminent domain power over the Panama Canal Zone in the interest of global commerce. Analyzing the international arbitral tribunal tasked with awarding monetary compensation to property owners whose lands the United States expropriated, the chapter argues that the US-controlled Canal Zone government did not simply invoke arbitration to facilitate the transfer of territory; its administrators sought to use eminent domain as an ongoing tool of colonial governance.
Nonlinear Waves & Hamiltonian Systems
Authors: Carretero-González Ricardo , Frantzeskakis Dimitrios J. , Kevrekidis Panayotis G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Wave phenomena are ubiquitous in the world around us, from art (e.g. the “Great Wave off Kanagawa” of K. Hokusai) to science (e.g. arterial pressure in our veins) and from the world around us (the Draupner wave off the coast of Norway, to the Morning Glory cloud in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia) to planetary (Giant Red Spot of Jupiter) or quantum (ultracold atoms) and even cosmological scales. Therefore, the study of waves has an intrinsic and broad scientific interest in many diverse contexts, ranging from mathematics and physics to engineering, biosciences, chemistry and finance just to name a few. The aim of this book is to provide a self-contained introduction to the continuously developing field of nonlinear waves, that offers the background, the basic ideas and mathematical, as well as computational methods, while also presenting an overview of associated physical applications. This book summarizes some of the central models (such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the Nonlinear Shrödinger equation and Klein-Gordon equations) that describe such waves, including solitons, kinks, breathers, and vortices, in their continuum (partial differential equations) and in their discrete (differential-difference equations) form. Although the primary purpose of this book is to serve as a textbook, the selection and exposition of the material should also be useful to anyone who wishes to be introduced in the field of nonlinear waves.
Inverse Scattering Transform I – the KdV Equation*
Authors: Carretero-González R. , Frantzeskakis D.J. , Kevrekidis P.G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this chapter we introduce one of the most important contributions to the theory of nonlinear waves and solitons: the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST). The central idea of the IST is to take an analogous approach to solving linear PDEs using Fourier transforms, but taking it a step further so as to tackle nonlinear wave equations. In a way, we can dub the IST as the nonlinear analogue of the Fourier transform. Its name derives from the idea of reverse-engineering the time evolution of a scattering potential from the time evolution of its scattered wave. Namely, the IST works in the inverse direction of the standard process whereby one usually wants to obtain the scattered wave given a scattering barrier (or potential). This elegant method will allow us to explicitly write one- and two-soliton solutions for the KdV and even extend it to the general case of N-solitons.
The Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) Equation
Authors: Carretero-González R. , Frantzeskakis D.J. , Kevrekidis P.G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation is a universal, lowest order (normal form) model for the evolution of modulated envelope waves in nonlinear media. As such, it is a fundamental model appearing at the heart of an extremely wide variety of physical contexts. This chapter is devoted to introducing the NLS equation and its basic solutions: the bright and the dark solitons for, respectively, focusing and defocusing nonlinearity. We start with a derivation of the NLS from considering the dispersion of modulated envelope waves. We then note that in the case of focusing nonlinearity, a homogeneous steady state becomes modulationally unstable and eventually produces a series on “bright” humps. Motivated by the appearance of these coherent structures, we present the derivation of the quintessential bright and dark solitons of the NLS for, respectively, the focusing and defocusing nonlinearity.
NLS to KdV Connection – Dark Solitons as KdV Solitons
Authors: Carretero-González R. , Frantzeskakis D.J. , Kevrekidis P.G. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this chapter we establish an asymptotic connection between the defocusing NLS and the KdV. We employ multiscale expansion techniques to derive the KdV equation from the defocusing NLS equation. Key to our study is the use of the Madelung transformation, which reduces the NLS to a hydrodynamic form, namely to a set of coupled PDEs corresponding to the continuity equation and Euler equation. Then, asymptotic analysis is used to derive evolution equations describing nonlinear waves on top of a plane wave background. These models turn out to be a Boussinesq equation in the intermediate stage of the asymptotic analysis and its far field, namely a KdV equation. Finally, relying on the formal connection between the NLS and KdV equations, we will also show that, indeed, shallow dark solitons of the NLS equation are identical to KdV solitons.
Jurisdiction, Scope, and Termination
Authors: Sorabji John 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This Part codifies the civil court’s jurisdiction over parties to litigation in respect of both the jurisdiction to adjudicate and to promote settlement. It specifies that parties must identify themselves to the court and other parties: parties cannot litigate in secret, although the court may grant a party anonymity. It also gives effect to party autonomy through defining the process by which the scope of the court’s jurisdiction is defined, limited, and may be amended. It sets out the general approach to commencing proceedings, to commencing judicial review proceedings, and commencing proceedings on agreed facts. Proceedings on agreed facts encompasses both the approach taken under CPR Pt 8 proceedings and that taken to party agreement on facts derived from the French Civil Procedure Code and the ELI-UNIDROIT Model European Rules of Civil Procedure. It also makes provision for termination of proceedings by the parties either with or without court consent.
Fourth Movement
Authors: Simpson Barbara 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This movement is an extension of the dialogical dynamics presented in the third movement. It is comprised of an Intermezzo that examines Pragmatist thinking on emotions, feelings, and aesthetics as communicative expressions, and an Étude that focusses on the feelings quality of dialogue in the senior management team of an arts-based company. The Intermezzo draws primarily on the writings of John Dewey and George Herbert Mead, with a short introduction to William James. The Étude analyses one of the same dialogues that is presented in the Third Movement, but now attending to the unspoken, but nevertheless powerfully present, effects of emotional and aesthetic differencings.
Getting Better
Authors: Russell David 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter opens with the question of what art and psychoanalysis might have to do with each other, by looking at Milner’s interest in Cézanne. It then turns to Milner’s work as a therapist and psychoanalyst, and it brings together the reflections on attention and mediation from the previous chapters in order to who how she developed a clinical practice from them. It situates Milner’s originality in the context of her peers like D.W. Winnicott and Michael Balint, in order to focus on Milner’s question about the way a creative life makes ‘use’ of the world – and also addresses a question that many people who come to psychoanalysis ask: ‘what’s the use’ in living? These questions are explored directly via some of Milner’s most significant case histories of her therapeutic work. Particular attention is paid to the uses of drawing in Milner’s book-length account of a lengthy psychoanalytic treatment, The Hands of the Living God (1969).
Anger, Intentionality, and the View from Within
Authors: Boyle Matthew 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The chapter considers a recent debate between Martha Nussbaum and Agnes Callard about the justifiability of anger as a response to perceived mistreatment: Nussbaum argues that anger involves a desire for “payback” that is fundamentally irrational, whereas Callard, while admitting that anger involves a desire for payback, defends this response as rational in its context. The author argues that, rather than taking sides in this dispute, we should recognize the positions taken by Callard and Nussbaum as giving reflective expressions to two standpoints on anger that are necessarily available to anyone capable of experiencing anger. He goes on to suggest—drawing on some thoughts from Sartre—that standpoints analogous to those of Callard and Nussbaum are possible for a range of human emotions, and that recognizing the possibility of this double standpoint can teach us important lessons about the validity of emotional responses and the limits of such validity.
Embodied Radical Freedom
Authors: Marušić Berislav 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper offers an analytic reconstruction of Sartre’s theory of radical freedom. On the proposed interpretation, freedom is radical, because the freely chosen act and the reasons for choice are codependent: the freely chosen act grounds reasons by being based on them. Nonetheless, since freedom is embodied, there can be constraint on choice. Such constraint becomes intelligible once we properly understand the temporality of freedom. The chapter illustrates this through a close reading of Sartre’s example of the gambler and argues that it is part of the gambler’s mistake to think that all resolutions have to be remade at every instant ex nihilo.
Authorial Freedom
Authors: Schroeder Mark 
Published: November 2024

AbstractUmbhali is writing a serial novel. Her first seven chapters have already gone to press, and have been widely read and generated a lot of interest. But now she must write chapter eight. She has a lot of freedom—authorial freedom—in what she writes in chapter eight. What she writes may conform to a prior plan, but it need not—she could discover a new plan for her novel as she goes along. She doesn’t get to decide which interpretation of her novel is correct, but she does get to write the text that is to be interpreted. She is stuck with the first seven chapters and can’t change their text, but what she writes next can give new meaning to what happened in those pages. Let’s see what we can learn about existentialist freedom by thinking through Umbhali’s case in more detail.
Syllabification and related phonological processes
Authors: Özçelik Öner 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter overviews syllable structure and syllabification processes in Turkish, detailing all major constituents of the syllable (e.g. onset, rhyme, nucleus, coda), as well as sketching out the various constraints that hold on them. As many phonological processes are essentially syllable repair processes, they find an in-depth coverage and explanation in this chapter, and novel analyses are proposed in accounting for their behavior. Among the many phonological processes covered are: vowel epenthesis (e.g. to repair complex onsets or SSP violations in complex codas), vowel deletion (e.g. to satisfy the maximally binary nature of Turkish rhymes), ambisyllabicity (especially of soft-g /ɰ/, a consonant that never appears in word-initial position), hiatus (along with its avoidance and inevitability), and compensatory lengthening. The last two are analyzed as a result of glide deletion, which is argued to be the primary motivation in Turkish for compensatory lengthening, as opposed to e.g. mora preservation. Processes that attracted much attention in previous literature, such as the famous k/Ø alternation and final devoicing, are also discussed, crucially along with exceptions to expected patterns, which are demonstrated to have a systematic behavior. Additionally, syllable structure is extended, proposing that /s/ functions as an appendix at word edges.
Higher-level prosody and its interface with syntax
Authors: Özçelik Öner 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an analysis of higher-level prosody in Turkish and its interface with syntax, first sketching out the various constituents of the Prosodic Hierarchy, in particular formally defining the Phonological Phrase (PPh) and the Intonational Phrase (IPh) in Turkish. It is demonstrated that while the head of a PPh is the leftmost PWd within the PPh, the head of an IPh is the rightmost PPh within the IPh, thereby informing the debate on phrasal and sentential prominence in Turkish. In addition, it is explained that most cases of apparent “exceptions” to the Turkish sentential prominence rules are because of variations in the underlying syntax, and thus, with the right analysis of syntax, these are no longer exceptions. Rather, most of these have syntactic motivation, such as the prosodic dichotomy observed between sentences with definite vs. indefinite subjects in unaccusatives, and the loss of this contrast in unergatives and existentials, where only the prosody associated with definite and indefinite representations respectively surfaces due to their underlying syntax. The role of contrastive focus, as well as lower-level prosody, in informing higher-level prosody are also considered, arguing that the mapping between syntax and prosody is indirect.
Dams, Power, and State-Led Development
Authors: Lavers Tom 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis introductory chapter provides an overview of the central arguments of the book, including that Ethiopia’s dams boom is symbolic of the successes and failures of Ethiopia’s ‘developmental state’. The chapter also situates the Ethiopian case within the context of three existing literatures, namely those on state-led development and the governance of the electricity sector; twenty-first-century dam building; and the political economy of energy transitions. In turn, the discussion draws on this existing literature to elaborate the multi-scalar analytical framework that guides the remainder of the book. In particular, this framework focuses on the material and ideational factors that underpin the elite cohesion, technical capacity, and financial resources required to plan and implement large dam construction. Moreover, the ability to secure these three factors is dependent on alignment of political dynamics across multiple scales from the global and regional to the national, sub-national, and local.
Modernization, State-Building, and the Hydraulic Mission in Imperial and Revolutionary Ethiopia
Authors: Lavers Tom 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter examines Ethiopia’s dam-building ambitions during the Imperial era and under the military-Marxist Derg regime. The chapter examines why the two regimes’ common ambition of building dams to expand the reach of the state and transform the economy led to a pattern of dam construction dominated by Ethiopia’s least advantageous river basins, while the river basins with the most hydroelectric potential—including the Blue Nile—remained relatively untapped until after the fall of the Derg. Although Haile Selassie’s government and the Derg were inspired by sharply divergent ideologies, they shared a common desire to modernize Ethiopia, with water infrastructure playing a central symbolic and material role. Yet, both regimes faced similar technological, and international and domestic political economy constraints that limited dam building to comparatively low potential sites and, particularly, prevented exploitation of the river with the greatest hydropower potential—the Blue Nile.
Salini
Authors: Fantini Emanuele , Puddu Luca , Woldegebrael Edegilign Hailu , Lavers Tom 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe history of Ethiopian dam building is deeply interwoven with the story of Salini Costruttori. Salini has been building dams in Ethiopia since the 1960s, navigating different political regimes to become a key partner of the Ethiopian Government in the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. This chapter examines Salini projects across three different political regimes: the Legadadi Dam built under the Imperial regime (1964–1970); the Tana-Beles multipurpose project started in 1986 under the Derg; and the Gilgel Gibe cascade of three dams and four power stations in the Gibe-Omo Basin. The chapter argues that Salini is not simply another multinational corporation but is also an Ethiopian company that works in Ethiopia to stay in the country. Moreover, the partnership with Salini has provided the government with the technical capacity required to undertake a series of increasingly complex engineering projects, while demonstrating the commitment to persist with politically controversial projects amidst financial uncertainty.
Upending the Hydropolitics of the Nile
Authors: Lavers Tom 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter examines the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) Government’s efforts to challenge Egypt’s so-called ‘hydro-hegemony’ in the Nile Basin, first through cooperation and second through unilateralism. Given Egypt’s dominance, the EPRDF initially sought a collaborative approach through participation with Egypt, Sudan, and other Nile riparians in the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI). However, the NBI process ultimately collapsed with an inability to align river basin planning with the balance of political power in the basin. Unlike under past regimes, however, Ethiopia by 2011 had greatly strengthened its own economic position, as well as its capacity to build and finance major dam projects. The result was that the government was able to unilaterally launch the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). This experience shows that Egypt was only a partial fit for the hydro-hegemony label. Egypt’s dominance of the Nile Basin was reliant on Ethiopia’s continued internal political fragmentation and was therefore vulnerable.
Beyond the ‘Developmental State’
Authors: Lavers Tom , Terrefe Biruk , Gebresenbet Fana 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter examines the unravelling of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front’s (EPRDF’s) state-hydro model and the foreign policy that underpinned Ethiopia’s Nile ambitions. Popular protests gathered pace from 2015, eventually forcing the EPRDF into reform by 2018, while the failure of the EPRDF’s megaprojects to deliver economically led to an increasingly unsustainable debt burden. The result has been severe political instability within Ethiopia, leading to the outbreak of civil war in 2020, and a greatly weakened position from which to negotiate the operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Construction of the final megaprojects of the EPRDF era—the GERD and Koysha—has continued, but at a slow pace as financial and capacity constraints have become apparent. Furthermore, the debt crisis and regime change led the new government to abandon the state-hydro model of the past, with Western donors instead pressing for private investment and renewable technologies to expand electricity generation.
Hermits and their meanings
Authors: Hackett Helen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The British Library holds two manuscripts associated with Sir Henry Lee, Elizabeth I’s champion at her Accession Day tilts. One, containing parts of Sidney’s Old Arcadia, has a vellum wrapper inscribed ‘delivered to my lord cumberland’. The other, known as the Ditchley Manuscript, contains devices for tournaments and other court entertainments. Henry Woudhuysen has suggested that the wrapper of the Arcadia manuscript may have originally belonged to the Ditchley Manuscript, and relates to Lee’s handover of his role as Queen’s champion to George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland. This essay will set these manuscript materials in the context of the court literature of retirement that was promulgated in the early 1590s by both Lee and William Cecil, Lord Burghley, in entertainments identifying them with hermits and old knights. It will demonstrate that such retirement pageants, while plangently extolling the contemplative life, were also strongly concerned with succession. In practice neither Lee nor Burghley withdrew from public life; indeed, Lee, born in the same year as Elizabeth I, would outlive her by nearly a decade and serve her successor. The essay reveals the political subtext to mythologizations of retirement in the context of the late Elizabethan succession crisis.
Do Tests of Implicit Memory Challenge Survival Processing Accounts?
Authors: Wilck Allison M. , Altarriba Jeanette 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
For a memory phenomenon based on adaptation, it would seem advantageous to have a bias towards focusing cognitive resources on survival-related information. Indeed, support for the survival processing effect has been robustly found across various explicit (i.e. conscious, effortful) memory tasks. However, evidence has yet to be identified using implicit (i.e. unconscious, automatic) memory tasks. Such tasks include stem-cued completion, concreteness judgements, category production, and perceptual identification. This chapter examines the methodology and findings of the empirical studies published (to date) that employ variants of the survival paradigm using implicit memory tasks. The counter-intuitive nature surrounding the failure to identify a survival processing advantage under implicit retrieval, but not explicit retrieval conditions, is couched in terms of frequently proposed theoretical and alternative explanations for the survival memory effect. The active and resource-demanding nature of survival processing are emphasized as key assumptions of the effect.
Natural Ecology and Comparative Approaches to Human Memory
Authors: Schwartz Bennett L. , Kurdoglu-Ersoy Pinar , Hess Kelsey L. , Pournaghdali Ali 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter propose a comparative approach based on natural ecology to the study of the evolutionary origins of human memory. This approach starts with the fact that it is difficult to describe human natural ecology given the nature of cultural evolution in humans. Much of what is described as cognition evolved culturally rather than through natural selection (e.g. the processes that underlie writing, cooking, and driving). The argument here is the best way to understand the likely path of human cognitive evolution is to examine comparative approaches to cognition in nonhuman primates that make use of the primates’ natural ecology. Literature is reviewed on how natural ecology predicts spatial learning and memory performance in birds and monkeys. This chapter examine if the primate work helps us to understand the pathway of human cognitive evolution, with attention to developing tasks that allow us to examine the survival processing effect across species.
