Sommario/riassunto

Liquid crystal elastomers are an entirely new physical system, occupying a transitional zone between liquids and solids. This book is the foundation treatise in this emerging field of combined chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering. It reviews experimental techniques and results, theoretical ideas and reviews the foundations of the field. - ;Liquid crystals are fluids with a directionality defined. Polymers are long molecules with a shape that can be changed. As a network, polymers form rubber - a soft solid that is locally liquid-like and capable of huge extension. Liquid crystal ela

Nota di contenuto

Introduction: housing, neighbors and the politics of fear -- How we talk about squatting -- Squatting and antisquatting in Britain -- Incorporating the enclave of Juliana Christiania -- Grenoble, 2010: failed attempts to securitize the Roma squats -- "The last bastion of squatting in Europe" or the end of Dutch tolerance -- Conclusion: Is desecuritization of housing policy possible or desirable?.

Sommario/riassunto

<P>Housing is no longer about having a place to live - but about state pressures to conform, norms and policies regarding citizenship, and practices of surveillance and security. Breaking new ground in the field of urban politics and international relations, <EM>Securitization of Property Squatting in Europe</EM> examines and critiques legislative initiatives and examines governmental attempts to reframe urban property squatting as a crime and a threat to domestic security.</P><P>Using examples from France, Netherlands, Denmark, and Great Britain, Mary Manjikian argues that developments within
