Although the world has nearly 80 states with populations below 1.5 million, only recently have the distinct features of education in such small states begun to attract discussion in the international literature. This is the first comprehensive,globally-focused book on the subject. The research first presents a conceptual framework, and identifies commonalities in the economies, societies and politics of small states. It then focuses on the goals of education, administration of small systems, and issues of curriculum, regional cooperation and foreign aid. This is then followed by case studies.

A raíz de los trágicos acontecimientos en Charlottesville (Estados Unidos), y la negativa inicial de Donald Trump a denunciar a los nacionalistas blancos detrás de todo esto, el movimiento antifa aparece de repente en todas partes. Pero… ¿qué es, exactamente?, ¿de dónde ha salido? Desde que ha existido el fascismo, ha habido antifascismo. Nacido de la resistencia a Mussolini y Hitler en Europa durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930, el movimiento aparece ahora en los titulares en medio de la oposición a la administración Trump y a la derecha alternativa. Se les puede ver en los informativos, a menudo vestidos de negro y con pasamontañas cubriendo sus rostros, manifestándose en la inauguración presidencial, protestando contra oradores de extrema derecha en los campus universitarios de California y protegiendo, entre otros, a Cornel West y un grupo de ministros religiosos de la violencia neonazi en las calles de Charlottesville. Los grupos antifas tienen como objetivo negar a los fascistas la oportunidad de promover su política opresiva y proteger a las comunidades de los actos de violencia promulgados por el fascismo. Mark Bray proporciona un estudio detallado de la historia del antifascismo desde sus orígenes hasta nuestros días y, partiendo de entrevistas con antifas de todo el mundo, detalla las tácticas del movimiento y la filosofía que hay detrás de él.

The Anarchist Inquisition explores the groundbreaking transnational human rights campaigns that emerged in response to a brutal wave of repression unleashed by the Spanish state to quash anarchist activities at the turn of the twentieth century. Mark Bray guides readers through this tumultuous era?from backroom meetings in Paris and torture chambers in Barcelona, to international antiterrorist conferences in Rome and human rights demonstrations in Buenos Aires. Anarchist bombings in theaters and cafes in the 1890s provoked mass arrests, the passage of harsh anti-anarchist laws, and executions in France and Spain. Yet, far from a marginal phenomenon, this first international terrorist threat had profound ramifications for the broader development of human rights, as well as modern global policing, and international legislation on extradition and migration. A transnational network of journalists, lawyers, union activists, anarchists, and other dissidents related peninsular torture to Spain's brutal suppression of colonial revolts in Cuba and the Philippines to craft a nascent human rights movement against the "revival of the Inquisition." Ultimately their efforts compelled the monarchy to accede in the face of unprecedented global criticism. Bray draws a vivid picture of the assassins, activists, torturers, and martyrs whose struggles set the stage for a previously unexamined era of human rights mobilization. Rather than assuming that human rights struggles and "terrorism" are inherently contradictory forces, The Anarchist Inquisition analyzes how these two modern political phenomena worked in tandem to constitute dynamic campaigns against Spanish atrocities.
