Regardless of the legitimacy of the regime that signs the contract, a country that fails to honor its obligations damages its reputation. Yet should today's South Africa be responsible for apartheid-era debt? Is it reasonable to tether postwar Iraq with Saddam Hussein's excesses? Rethinking Sovereign Debt is a probing analysis of how sovereign debt continuity--the rule that nations should repay loans even after a major regime change, or else expect consequences--became dominant. Odette Lienau contends that the practice is not essential for functioning capital markets, and demonstrates its reliance on absolutist ideas that have come under fire over the last century. Lienau traces debt continuity from World War I to the present, emphasizing the role of government officials, the World Bank, and private markets in shaping our existing framework. Challenging previous accounts, she argues that Soviet Russia's repudiation of Tsarist debt and Great Britain's 1923 arbitration with Costa Rica hint at the feasibility of selective debt cancellation. Rethinking Sovereign Debt calls on scholars and policymakers to recognize political choice and historical precedent in sovereign debt and reputation, in order to move beyond an impasse when a government is overthrown. 606 $aDebts, Public$vCase studies 606 $aDebt cancellation$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDebts, Public 615 0$aDebt cancellation 676 $a336.3/4 700 $aLienau$b Odette$f1978-$01031557 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464713903321 996 $aRethinking sovereign debt$92448956 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04905nam 2200649 450 001 9910797974903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-78297-993-X 010 $a1-78297-991-3 035 $a(CKB)3710000000540504 035 $a(EBL)4392675 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001594034 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16039200 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001594034 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)12085624 035 $a(PQKB)10312120 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16483353 035 $a(PQKB)22778841 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4392675 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11153190 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL883210 035 $a(OCoLC)911135174 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4392675 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000540504 100 $a20160222h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRoman military architecture on the frontiers $earmies and their architecture in late antiquity /$fRob Collins, Matt Symonds and Meike Weber 210 1$aOxford, [England] ;$aPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania :$cOxbow Books,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (153 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-78297-990-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $aList of Figures and Tables; List of Contributors; Acknowledgements; List of Abbreviations; 1.

In defence of the late empire 330 $aThe Roman army was one of the most astounding organizations in the ancient world, and much of the success of the Roman empire can be attributed to its soldiers. Archaeological remains and ancient texts provide detailed testimonies that have allowed scholars to understand and reconstruct the army?s organization and activities. This interest has traditionally worked in tandem with the study of Roman frontiers. Historically, the early imperial period, and in particular the emergence of the frontiers, has been the focus of research. During those investigations, however, the remains of the later Roman army were also frequently encountered, if not always understood. Recent decades have brought a burgeoning interest in not only the later Roman army, but also late antiquity more widely. It is the aim of this volume to demonstrate that while scholars grappling with the late Roman army may want for a rich corpus of inscriptions and easily identifiable military installations, research is revealing a dynamic, less-predictable force that was adapting to a changing world, in terms of both external threats and its own internal structures. The dynamism and ingenuity of the late Roman army provides a breath of fresh air after the suffocating uniformity of its forbears. The late Roman army was a vital and influential element in the late antique empire. Having evolved through the 3rd century and been formally reorganized under Diocletian and Constantine, the limitanei guarded the frontiers, while the comitatenses provided mobile armies that were fielded against external enemies and internal threats. The transformation of the early imperial army to the late antique army is documented in the rich array of texts from the period, supplemented by a perhaps surprisingly rich archaeological record. 606 $aFortification, Roman 606 $aMilitary architecture$zRome 607 $aRome$xMilitary antiquities 615 0$aFortification, Roman. 615 0$aMilitary architecture 676 $a725.180937 700 $aCollins$b Rob$f1977-$0721979 702 $aSymonds$b Matthew F.
