Book cover of 鄂圖曼帝國的殞落:第一次世界大戰在中東
by 尤金.羅根(Eugene Rogan)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: October 6, 2016

蕭道中/輔大歷史系助理教授 「分合、興衰是歷史的必然,強弱輪替在歷史中屢見不鮮;鄂圖曼帝國源自匈奴、突厥。東西突厥分裂後西突厥往中亞、西亞發展,也逐漸接受了伊斯蘭信仰。1299年,鄂圖曼建立在伊朗的塞爾柱帝國的根基上逐漸強大、擴張。在1453年取君士坦丁堡、結束拜占庭帝國後的百年間達到高峰,象徵回教世界領導權的哈里發頭銜,也在征服埃及後由鄂圖曼皇帝取得。但內在王位爭奪、軍政渙散等原因,外在的民族獨立潮流與殖民國家的擴張等因素,終於導致弱化中的帝國走向覆亡之路。英國教授羅根的著作,以他舅公在1915年於加里波利戰役陣亡揭開序幕,詳述龐大鄂圖曼帝國窮於應付歐亞多個國家與民族侵略的覆亡時期各個階段的歷史。現今西亞與北非(即英國人所謂的中東)的版圖與叢生的種種問題,多半衍生自這個巨人覆亡,而內有被統治者極力求自主、外有侵略者侵略劃地(殖民地)的年代。值此全球面臨恐攻威脅,難民問題又檢驗著人道良知與國安考量之時,拜讀尤金。羅根教授的《鄂圖曼帝國的殞落》一書,讓人感慨良多。尤其對歐洲各國而言,當年急著消滅土耳其豪取殖民地,如今回頭請託土耳其協助解決棘手的難民問題,真可謂情何以堪哪!」 ——彭世綱(政治大學土耳其語言文化學系兼任副教授) 「黎巴嫩貝魯特南方的貧民社區裡,巴勒斯坦裔的居民至今還背負著1948年大逃難以來的難民稱號,家戶牆上總有一幅耶路撒冷圓頂清真寺的圖像,映著寄人籬下的每一日。當今的歐洲難民潮裡,亦有當初逃離至敘利亞的巴勒斯坦後代,堆疊出世代以來另一個難民身分。今日中東地區不間斷的離散與混亂,與鄂圖曼帝國的崩解、列強瓜分、以色列建國息息相關,尤金.羅根的著作提供了細膩的史料與脈絡,聚焦中東與北非,更翻轉了西方視角主導的一戰論述。」 ——吳玟諭(貝魯特美國大學中東研究碩士) 「一次大戰之後,鄂圖曼帝國因戰勝國的瓜分而殞落,原本在其政權治理之下的美索不達米亞平原、阿拉伯半島、北非等地區隨後受到西方國家宰制,也就成為現今中東混亂局勢的源頭。一次大戰的研究與論著雖汗牛充棟,但以歐洲地區為主,有關中東的描述著實不多,也多偏向西方視角。本書《鄂圖曼帝國的殞落》作者羅根以鄂圖曼帝國的角度,填補了一戰時期為人們遺忘的一段歷史記憶,也可作為人們理解現代中東形成與發展的起點。」 ——陳立樵(輔仁大學歷史系助理教授) 「從古至今,土耳其優越的地理位置,讓她擁有許多先天優勢,但也同時讓她無法在各國角力中缺席。在現今的國際關係中,作為歐亞橋梁的土耳其更是扮演著重要腳色。這本書清楚又不死板地講述第一次世界大戰前後,鄂圖曼土耳其對內以及對外的關係,一個跨歐、亞、非的大帝國,境內居住著不同種族、信仰的人民,在第一次世界大戰中如何分崩離析,而這些歷史因素又將如何影響現今的土耳其,想要了解土耳其,就讓我們從她的歷史開始。」 ——陳琬喻(聯合線上轉角國際專欄作家) 【各界推薦】  「無庸置疑,本書可列為最佳歷史著作。羅根他巧妙地構築一個精細的網絡,清楚呈現政治家、軍方高層將領的想法與決策如何影響底層士兵與平民百姓,且描繪出許多深具啟發性的歷史片段。」 ——《經濟學人》 「為紀念一戰爆發一百周年,有大批書籍問世,本書即為最傑出的兩本著作之一。」 ——《華盛頓郵報》猴籠部落格 「他以平衡的敘述方式揭發了今日世界衝突的諸多根源。」 ——《紐約時報》 「本書提醒讀者,一戰後的中東協議和強迫德國接受的條款一樣充滿瑕疵,...
Book cover of 失控的歐元︰從經濟整合的美夢到制度失靈的惡夢
by 約瑟夫.尤金.史迪格里茲(Joseph Eugene Stiglitz)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: March 7, 2017

諾貝爾經濟學獎得主、經濟學大師史迪格里茲最新力作 歐元區第一手分析,為脫歐風暴指路 極端右翼崛起壯大、青年失業率居高不下、勞工退休金不保、經濟危機成常態、英國脫歐成真……事情不太對勁,歐元出現以前不是這樣的! 一部歐元興衰與成敗的簡史。一探大歐洲夢的美麗與哀愁 歐元實驗誠然迷人,卻是充滿瑕疵的經濟和意識形態的混合體 史迪格里茲帶我們了解歐元區的美好構想,以及它如何偏離軌道, 並提出重新架構歐元的可能,以及必要的話,和平解散歐元區的進路! 人們對於歐元傾注了很多情感,為了保存它做了很多承諾,但歸根究柢它只是人為造出來的東西,一種由靠不住的人類建立的靠不住的機制。 ——史迪格里茲 歐元的故事就是一齣政治道德劇,上演著遠離選民的領導者如何設計出無法善待民眾的制度,以及金錢利益在經濟整合的進路上總是占上風,政客們看重短期政治利益,導致廣大公民深陷危境。經濟學大師史迪格里茲從經濟整合的概念如何形塑出共同貨幣的使用,帶我們了解歐元區的美好構想,並透過理論、政策、數字來探討歐元失靈背後的經濟學,提出重新架構歐元的可能,以及必要的話,和平解散歐元區的進路。 歐元原本是要團結歐洲且創造繁榮的;事實卻剛好相反。二○○八年的金融風暴使歐元左支右絀,到了二○一○年,金融危機轉變成「歐元危機」,十九個共同發行歐元的國家,即所謂歐元區,受到經濟停滯和信貸危機的衝擊,有些國家已經淪陷在經濟蕭條好幾年,歐元區的調控權力岌岌可危,尤其是在希臘。歐洲的經濟停滯和慘淡的遠景是歐盟計畫的內在缺陷的直接結果,政治的整合完全跟不上經濟整合的腳步,其結構是趨異的。問題是:歐元還有救嗎? 史迪格里茲分析歐洲央行的盲點,說明為什麼撙節措施造成歐洲無止境的經濟停滯,並且提出三條可能的出路:一、澈底改革歐元區的結構,以及對於會員國傷害最深的種種政策;二、循序漸進地終結歐盟;三、或者大膽嘗試「彈性歐元」系統。 史迪格里茲也打破一個迷思,那就是歐洲政治的團結並不一定要在貨幣上統一。歐洲在許多價值和人權上其實已經表現出他們的團結,例如難民的問題、全球暖化的問題。比起貨幣統一,有其他更好的方式可以促進經濟、政治和社會的整合。...
