Chapter 9 5G Networks in Latin America
No full textHannig Núñez analyzes the processes behind technology transfers at a state-decision-making level in Latin America. She challenges the conventional notion that the United States and China hold a dominant technological presence over the region, highlighting the increasing influence from both middle powers and regional actors. This book builds on existing theory and case studies to assess the relevance of economic incentives, geopolitical rivalries, and value-driven considerations in the outcomes of technology transfer in different scenarios. It further explores the notion of a new ""Cold War"" between China and the United States and examines how these superpowers leverage technology transfers to extend their influence but ultimately fall short due to growing competition from previously overlooked players. In closely examining these dynamics, Hannig Núñez demonstrates how technology transfer is not solely an economic process but a significant geopolitical tool that influences international order, national sovereignty, and regional integration. An invaluable resource for students, academics, and researchers interested in the intersection between technology, cybersecurity, and international politics.

Translation Classics in Context
No full textTranslation Classics in Context carefully considers the relationship between translation and the classics. It presents readers with revelatory and insightful case studies that investigate translations produced as part of nexuses of colonial resistance and liberation across Africa and in Ireland; translations of novels and folklore collections that influence not just other fictions, but stage productions and entire historical disciplines; struggles over Ukrainian and Russian literature and how it is shaped and transferred; and the role of the academy and the curriculum in creating notions of classic translations.
Along the way it covers oral poetry, saints, scholars, Walter Scott and Jules Verne, not to mention Leo Tolstoy and the Corpse Bride making her way from folklore to Frankenstein and into the world of Disney animation. Contributors are all leading scholars, and the book is accessible and engaging, assuming no specialist knowledge.

The European Health Data Space
No full textThis timely volume provides a comprehensive examination of how the proposed new European Health Data Space (EHDS) legislation will impact upon health and genetic data, individual privacy and providers of health services.
With the current legal framework recognised as insufficient in protecting data-related rights, the book spotlights the opportunities and challenges posed by the EHDS in balancing the interests of individuals with policymakers and researchers. It considers the impact on individual EU member states while highlighting issues such as changes to patients’ rights, wearable technology, developments in e-health and the secondary use of medical data. Critically, it also examines how the EHDS will operate within existing legal frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Governance Act and the Data Act.
Including contributions from some of the leading scholars in this area, this groundbreaking book will be key reading for students and researchers across law and public health
Imagining Malaya
No full textOver the course of British colonial rule in Malaya, the Peranakan Chinese (hereafter referred to as Peranakan) attempted to bring to life a complex imagination of nationhood predicated on an inclusive and multi-ethnic approach to integrating Malaya’s plural society. A creolized community borne of intermarriage between Chinese migrants anqd indigenous Malays, Peranakan ideas of nationhood and belonging were influenced by their liminality. In word and deed, Peranakan political actors campaigned for the extension of citizenship rights to all those domiciled in Malaya regardless of race, class, or religion. Yet, this political history has largely been overlooked. In examining the Peranakan imaginary of the nation, Imagining Malaya explores one of the many alternatives of a Malayan nation that were imagined—and were possible at one point or another—that have yet to be studied. Centring the Peranakan into Malaysia’s story of decolonization and nation-making, it casts a new light on Malaysia’s path to nationhood and who is included—and excluded—within that story. The book examines Peranakan politics in Malaya from the arrival of the British on Penang Island in 1786 to the end of British rule in Malaya upon the latter’s independence on 31 August 1957, focussing primarily on the community’s political activities during Malaya’s complex path to merdeka (independence). This monograph reveals how seemingly disparate political acts by the Peranakan were in reality bound together by a cosmopolitan sense of identity and belonging as leading figures from the community sought to build an inclusive Malayan nation
Higher Education and SDG16
Get PDFThe ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.
Traditional approaches to teaching, researching, and advancing human rights need a refresh. The Sustainable Development Goals, the Leave No One Behind ethos, and the SDG16 agenda for peaceful, just, and inclusive communities offer a refreshed way to research and teach human rights and social justice in the twenty first century.
Exploring how to ground an emerging paradigm shift and field build the next generation so that they approach human rights with a different lens and set of skills, this edited collection presents local case studies from cities and communities and considers their meaning for the rights movement globally. Emphasizing the need to reduce silos between domestic and international work, the chapters combine build on local “right to the city” activism and the global human rights cities movement to examine a local-global approach informed by city-level data, analyses, and practice.
Higher Education and the Sustainable Development Goalsis a series of 17 books that address each of the SDGs through the lens of higher education. Adopting a solutions-based approach, each book focuses on how higher education is advancing delivery of Agenda 2030. The series is edited by Wendy Purcell, Professor with Rutgers University and Academic Research Scholar with Harvard University; Emeritus Professor and University President Emerita
