Recenser l'Égypte : Dette publique et politiques de quantification à l'ère impériale (1875-1922) /
:
Dans la décennie qui précède l'occupation britannique (1882), l'Égypte est placée sous tutelle financière internationale, dans un contexte de crise de la dette. Émissaires, diplomates et banquiers européens mènent des enquêtes visant à recenser ses ressources économiques. Le présent ouvrage prend pour point de départ ces enquêtes, pour explorer plus largement l'histoire de la statistique et de la quantification en Égypte, à l'ère de la première globalisation financière.Des débats autour du budget, à la réforme de l'impôt, à celle des poids et mesure, l'ouvrage s'intéresse aux lieux, acteurs et modalités de la fabrique du chiffre. Il montre comment, dans un contexte de crise, l'évaluation des ressources publiques devient un enjeu de négociation et de lutte, où s'entrecroisent enjeux techniques et politiques.Il permet d'appréhender sous un jour nouveau l'histoire économique de l'Égypte à l'ère impériale, et entend, par ailleurs, placer le cas égyptien dans une histoire transnationale de la statistique

Citizenship and democratization in Southeast Asia /
:
Citizenship and Democratization in Southeast Asia redirects the largely western-oriented study of citizenship to postcolonial states. Providing various fascinating first-hand accounts of how citizens interpret and realize the recognition of their property, identity, security and welfare in the context of a weak rule of law and clientelistic politics, this study highlights the importance of studying citizenship for understanding democratization processes in Southeast Asia. With case studies from Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia, this book provides a unique bottom-up perspective on the character of public life in Southeast Asia. Contributors are: Mary Austin, Laurens Bakker, Ward Berenschot, Sheri Lynn Gibbings, Takeshi Ito, David Kloos, Merlyna Lim, Astrid Norén-Nilsson, Oona Pardedes, Emma Porio, Apichat Satitniramai, Wolfram Schaffer and Henk Schulte Nordholt.

Greek and Roman historiography in late antiquity : fourth to sixth century A.D. /
:
This book is the first comprehensive study of Greek and Latin historiography from Constantine to the end of the sixth century AD. It aims to examine the development of late antique historiography, stressing chiefly the relations between pagan and Christian historians, their polemics but also their often neglected agreements. Of special importance is the study of the Church historians who are considerable but not adequately known sources for the political and social history of the period. Greek and Latin Historiography in Late Antiquity is a highly valuable and useful reference tool for both scholars and students. Greek and Roman Historiography in Late Antiquity has been selected by Choice as Outstanding Academic Title (2005).

Asia Pacific Pentecostalism /
:
Asia Pacific Pentecostalism , edited by Denise A. Austin, Jacqueline Grey, and Paul W. Lewis, yields previously untold stories and interdisciplinary analysis of pioneer foundations, denominational growth, leadership training, contextualisation, and community development across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Pentecostalism in the Asia Pacific has made an enormous contribution to its global family-from the more visible influence of Yonggi Cho from Korea to the worship revolutions from Australia (particularly associated with Hillsong) and the lesser known missionary activity from Fiji-each region has contributed significantly to global Christianity. Some communities prospered despite hostile environments and wartime devastation. This volume provides a systematic study of the geographical contexts of Asia Pacific Pentecostalism, including historical development, theological influences, and sociological perspectives. Contributors are: Doreen Alcoran-Benavidez, Dik Allan, Connie Au, Denise A. Austin, Edwardneil Benavidez, John Carter, Michael Chase, Yung Hun Choi, Darin Clements, Shane Clifton, Dynnice Rosanny Engcoy, Michael J. Frost, Luisa J. Gallagher, Sarita D.
