兼治中國近現代史、後殖民研究、全球化理論當代重要學者阿里夫．德里克（Arif Dirlik）第一本在臺出版著作 土耳其裔美國學者阿里夫．德里克，二○一六年五月應成大臺文系之邀，來臺發表系列講座。本書主要內容，即為相關的五篇講稿，以及一篇專訪，從中不僅可見德里克快人快語的一面，也能看到他學思歷程的幾番轉折：從六○學運狂飆年代的親身參與者，到七○、八○年代的中國共產革命研究者，九○年代轉而投入後殖民與全球化理論，並據此進一步析論「後革命」時代的中國。 事實上這位學者與臺灣頗有淵源，一九六九年曾來臺學習中文，九○年代又多次造訪。但臺灣卻從未出版過他的著作，本書《殖民之後？》是第一本，大致涵蓋了他學術生涯後半場的核心關懷。 面對一個後殖民與全球化的世界，他思索並追問，殖民真的結束了嗎？全球化帶來的是共生還是毀滅？德里克的答案並不樂觀。帝國殖民體制雖然崩潰，隨後的國族建構浪潮，卻往往同樣使用殖民手段在內部壓迫少數、消滅差異。而全球化時代的到來，不但沒有消融隔閡，反倒強化了民族國家之間的競爭與自我意識；況且當資本主義全球化，造就資本可到處流動的跨國企業，深刻影響人們的日常生活，這何嘗不是一種殖民形式？ 我們以為殖民已是歷史，但德里克殷殷提醒，殖民處境仍無所不在，在全球化的今日，更徹底的殖民正在發生。 戮力批判全球資本主義結構的德里克，自然也把批判眼光投向這個結構餵養出來的巨獸──已成資本主義脊梁骨的當代中國。他憂心地指出中共挾其經濟成就高唱「中國夢」，鼓吹振興「中華」民族、追剿各種獨立言行（疆獨、藏獨、臺獨）之餘，更在西方廣設孔子學院，仿效美國發展文化軟實力，積極往世界霸權之路邁進。當外界指責中共侵犯人權、箝制言論自由、蔑視民主，它動輒用中國文化特殊性為自身辯護，認為那些批評不過是「西方價值」。德里克疾呼知識分子此時更要審慎分辨，不該輕易接受以文化差異、反西方中心為託辭的主張。 德里克已在二○一七年十二月一日過世，因此本書也是他的最後遺作，一份給臺灣的臨別贈言。他形容臺灣是「殖民主義製造的土地」，而他對殖民主義的深入探究，特別是殖民主義、民族主義、歷史認同之間糾葛的關

This study of contemporary Irish expatriate fiction offers a boldly original world-facing rather than nation-focused overview of the contemporary Irish novel. Chapters examine how Irish narrative deals with the United States in a time of declining global hegemony, a rising China and Asia, a thwarted and turbulent Global South, and a European Union that has decisively reshaped Ireland in the last half century. The author argues that in a late capitalist world defined by volatile economic and cultural globalizations, the Irish novel is struggling to imagine new ways to narrate the country's relationship to the world capitalist system and to find new place for Irish writing in the world literary system. Looking at a rapidly-changing Ireland in a rapidly-changing international order, Joe Cleary offers new readings of novels by Colm Tóibín, Anne Enright, Joseph O'Neill, Deirdre Madden, Mary Costello, Naoise Dolan, Aidan Higgins, Colum McCann, Ronan Sheehan and Ronan Bennett.

Without nation-states Covid-19, climate change, international cyberattacks, and other threats would go unchecked. In The World of States, John L. Campbell and John A. Hall challenge the view that nation-states have lost their relevance in the context of globalization and rising nationalism. The book traces how states evolved historically, how contemporary states differ from one another, and the interactions between them. States today confront a host of challenges, but two features make some states more effective than others: institutional arrangement and national identity. The second edition has been updated to discuss why the BRICS countries (with the exception of China) are no longer the rising powers they were once thought to be; the effects of Brexit on the European Union; the legacy of the Trump administration for US politics and hegemony; and how the coronavirus may upset the world of states going forward.
