Understanding the Analytic Hierarchy Process
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a critical guide to AHP.In this book, the AHP method is considered primarily as a mathematical technique supporting the decision-making process.This method provides a convenient and versatile framework for modelling multi-criteria decision problems, evaluating alternatives and deriving final priorities.Rather than imposing a correct decision, AHP allows the user to create a ranking of alternatives, then choose the one which is the best (or among the best).At the core of AHP is a pairwise comparisons (PC) method.This is an old technique known in various forms since at least the Middle Ages.

Forms : Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network
Forms offers a powerful new answer to one of the most pressing problems facing literary, critical, and cultural studies today--how to connect form to political, social, and historical context.Caroline Levine argues that forms organize not only works of art but also political life--and our attempts to know both art and politics.Inescapable and frequently troubling, forms shape every aspect of our experience.Yet, forms don't impose their order in any simple way.Multiple shapes, patterns, and arrangements, overlapping and colliding, generate complex and unpredictable social landscapes that challenge and unsettle conventional analytic models in literary and cultural studies. Borrowing the concept of "affordances" from design theory, this book investigates the specific ways that four major forms--wholes, rhythms, hierarchies, and networks--have structured culture, politics, and scholarly knowledge across periods, and it proposes exciting new ways of linking formalism to historicism and literature to politics. Levine rereads both formalist and antiformalist theorists, including Cleanth Brooks, Michel Foucault, Jacques Ranciere, Mary Poovey, and Judith Butler, and she offers engaging accounts of a wide range of objects, from medieval convents and modern theme parks to Sophocles's Antigone and the television series The Wire.The result is a radically new way of thinking about form for the next generation and essential reading for scholars and students across the humanities who must wrestle with the problem of form and context.

Discovering Biblical Equality : Complementarity Without Hierarchy
Among Christians, discussions continue about the roles of men and women in the home, the church and society at large.Although some of these debates generate more heat than light, the issue directly affects every member of the Christian community.Our view of the Bible's teaching on these matters shapes the life and ministry of our churches in significant ways.Further reflection and dialogue are required. In this volume twenty-three evangelical scholars, firmly committed to the authority of Scripture, explore the whole range of issues relating to gender relations.They offer historical, biblical, theological, hermeneutical and practical perspectives to dispel many of the myths surrounding biblical equality, and to promote discussion.Their sound, reasoned case affirms the complementarity of the sexes without requiring a hierarchy of roles.

The Structure of Groups with a Quasiconvex Hierarchy
This monograph on the applications of cube complexes constitutes a breakthrough in the fields of geometric group theory and 3-manifold topology.Many fundamental new ideas and methodologies are presented here for the first time, including a cubical small-cancellation theory that generalizes ideas from the 1960s, a version of Dehn Filling that functions in the category of special cube complexes, and a variety of results about right-angled Artin groups.The book culminates by establishing a remarkable theorem about the nature of hyperbolic groups that are constructible as amalgams. The applications described here include the virtual fibering of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds and the resolution of Baumslag's conjecture on the residual finiteness of one-relator groups with torsion.Most importantly, this work establishes a cubical program for resolving Thurston's conjectures on hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and validates this program in significant cases.Illustrated with more than 150 color figures, this book will interest graduate students and researchers working in geometry, algebra, and topology.

Global Race War : International Politics and Racial Hierarchy
International Relations theory assumes that the struggle for power is not only ahistorical but that international politics is necessarily the realm of a perpetual struggle for power between states.However, by looking beyond the state, the study of global politics may itself reveal the importance of alternative imaginaries just as historically salient as that of the state system.In particular, this book argues that a specific racial imaginary has, over the past two centuries, cut across politically defined state boundaries to legitimate practices of genocidal violence against so-called "enemy races."In Global Race War, Alexander D.Barder shows how the very idea of global order was based on racial hierarchy and difference.Barder traces the emergence of this global racial hierarchy from the early 19th century to the present to explain how a historical racial global order unraveled over the first half of the 20th century, continued during the Cold War, and reemerged during the Global War on Terror.As Barder shows, imperial, racial, and geopolitical orders intersected over time in ways that violently tore apart the imperial and sovereign state system and continue to haunt politics today. Examining global politics in terms of race and racial violence reveals a different spatial topology across domestic and global politics.Moreover, global histories of racial hierarchy and violence have important implications for understanding the continued salience of race within Western polities.Global Race War revisits two centuries of international history to show the important consequences of a global racial imaginary that continues to reverberate across time and space.

Indirect Rule : The Making of US International Hierarchy
Indirect Rule examines how states indirectly exercise authority over others and how this mode of rule affects domestic and international politics.Indirect rule has long characterized interstate relationships and US foreign relations.A key mechanism of international hierarchy, indirect rule involves an allied group within a client state adopting policies preferred by a dominant state in exchange for the dominant state's support.Drawing on the history of US involvement in the Caribbean and Central America, Western Europe, and the Arab Middle East, David A.Lake shows that indirect rule is more likely to occur when the specific assets at risk are large and governance costs are low.Lake's conceptualization of indirect rule sharpens our understanding of how the United States came to occupy the pinnacle of world power.Yet the consequences of indirect rule he documents—including anti-Americanism—reveal its shortcomings.As US efforts at democracy promotion and other forms of intervention abroad face declining support at home, Indirect Rule compels us to consider whether this method of rule ultimately advances US interests.
