This chapter reviews the political impetus behind the policy area, including the overarching project of the Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice, with its recurring action plans and European Council conclusions that have supported its progression. The Hague Programme of the European Council in 2004 and the subsequent five-year Action Plan of the Commission that outline the most recent strategies for the policy area are analysed. Based on the political impetus, the chapter attempts to discern the broader issues of European integration that might influence how the political mandate for the policy area is implemented. An analysis of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, as well as the new governance debate, attempts to highlight the question of how the EU should regulate. An analysis of market integration, citizenship, and fundamental human rights themes attempts to highlight the question of why the EU should regulate.Less

Conventional orthodoxy in international relations has tended to downplay the effects of culture. This chapter appraises the impacts of culture on international politics and its effects on the construction of world order and models of global governance. America's centrality to the stability and well being of international order has been an accepted truth. The challenge to global governance came from the attacks of September 11, 2001, which was perceived by the American administration and indeed the world as assaults on not just the United States but also some of the supports of the world system itself. President George W. Bush declared war on terrorism by invading Iraq and Afghanistan, which was justified by employing myths oriented around the sacred symbol of freedom or liberty. These missions seemed ideally to combine self-interest with morality. This chapter uncovers the cultural impetus of America's policies, the suicidal attacks of terrorists, and the dynamics of globalization.Less

This chapter examines Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of body without organs in relation to Internet-gaming addiction, particularly first-person shooter games. It offers the view of Internet gaming addiction as a pathological impetus to reform particular modes of emergence that derive from the effects of striation, habit, and intensity. The chapter suggests that Internet-gaming addiction is a specific configuration of mechanic, organic and imaginative emergences that express a need to continuously reconfigure themselves.Less

The introduction discusses the fundamental transformations of Shi‘i thought and conceptions of religious authority that occurred in tandem with the expansion of Shi‘i religious education in colonial India and Pakistan throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. In particular, this section introduces the reader to the three key analytical lenses of the book, namely the evolving nature of sectarianism, the salience of transnational connections, and the creative potential of local religious authority when engaging with the Shi‘i scholarly tradition. The introduction adopts a model of “impetus” and “response” to elucidate the travel of ideas between the Middle East and South Asia, while also paying attention to their translation from Arabic and Persian into Urdu.Less

This chapter argues that the second kinetic operation or feature in the ontological description of force is the externalization of motion. Kinetically, the externalization of motion occurs when a flow becomes disjoined or released from a field of circulation. Once such a flow breaks free or bifurcates from the conjunction of a circulatory system, it is then capable of folding itself into a new series of junctions in a new field or connecting to another field elsewhere. When the internal motion of circulation, like that of a rotating sphere, for instance, appears to transfer its motion to another body as a cause, agent, or force, what occurs kinetically is not the transfer of a metaphysical substance, but the continuation of the same movement, circulated differently. This chapter treats this issue historically within the early modern concept of medieval impetus and the clockwork universe.Less
