The Amazigh Studies series publishes foundational texts for the development and growth of a field of study that examines Amazigh and culture in Tamazgha. Focused on Imazighen, the
indigenous people of North Africa whose language and culture were marginalized for many years, the series makes available important resources for a variety of audiences interested in
Amazigh affairs. Amazigh cultural activism has integrated with global networks of indigeneity, placing Imazighen in larger context of Indigenous people’s struggles for
self-preservation. In light of these changes, the Amazigh Studies series aims to address the lack of resources within Anglophone academia and help both students and scholars who work
in this area access the wealth of Amazigh literary and scholarly treasures that are currently out of their reach. Publications in the series will address questions that face the field
of Amazigh Studies, provide translations of important scholarly and literary works, and develop language learning resources for the teaching of Tamazight. The series is also open to
unsolicited proposals that show strong engagement with primary sources in Tamazight.

Today, as for millennia, spies and their masters acquire secrets, identify threats and opportunities, and provide covert capabilities to enhance state power. Intelligence is a key but underappreciated tool of statecraft that shapes international conflict and cooperation. It is also an aspect of state power that can affect the lives of individuals at home or abroad, for good or for ill. Accordingly, it is of vital public and professional importance to understand the history and evolution of intelligence.
This new book series from Georgetown University Press seeks to publish cutting-edge scholarship about the fascinating history of intelligence around the world from ancient times to the present day. The aim is not only to publish for scholars and practitioners but also to engage the public’s thirst for knowledge about this vitally important subject. The series is open to works of original research that explore intelligence as a tool of statecraft, operational histories, successes and failures, leadership, oversight, biographies of key figures, technological evolution, and espionage in culture and society. The series also seeks to go beyond the most frequently examined topics in American and British intelligence to explore the histories of nations outside of the Anglosphere as well as truly international histories.

In an age that questions the search for foundations, the study of traditions has opened new paths of scholarly reflection. At the same time, we are divided by the diverse traditions that have shaped us, our different cultures, and our separate communities. Tradition provokes both creativity and authority, puzzlement and reassurance, rigidity and renewal. The richness of the idea of tradition thus provides a worthwhile focus for an inquiry into Christian ethics.
The Moral Traditions series explores the long-standing claims that fundamental moral theology and Christian social ethics make on our lives. It publishes systematic scholarly accounts of major themes in Christian ethics as a way of critically examining those insights that shape Christian lives and communities today.
To this end, some books in the series scrutinize key concepts from significant writers whose works continue to influence contemporary Christian ethics. Others study whether a significant insight long latent in our moral traditions deserves fuller recognition. Still others examine how particular communities once shaped by key practices now look to redefine their ethical commitments in a more pressing world. And finally, some compare elements of other moral traditions with Christian ones. The Press believes this series provides a more precise understanding of moral traditions and their contribution to contemporary life. The broad scope of the series and the complexity of the approach make these books of wide interest to scholars in ethics, theology, religious studies, and philosophy.

Race, Religion, and Politics explores the increasingly creative and critical attention paid by scholars in recent decades to race and racial construction—political, cultural, theological, and philosophical—in the formation of religion and in the relationship between religion and politics. This series examines the conditions under which religion and politics coexist within varying and competing conceptual schemes of race. The books in the series will engage with new narratives emerging from the study of global capitalism and from public discourse on democracy, social transformation, and democratic theory.

South Asia, which consists of eight nation-states and more than one fifth of humanity, has emerged as a pivotal region for global order. India’s economic development and rise toward becoming a major power, the region’s growing geostrategic significance in both the domains of transnational terrorism and nuclear proliferation, and the protracted conflict in Afghanistan are just a few examples of why South Asia has become increasingly important in contemporary international affairs. This series aims to publish high-quality scholarly books about the region and its international relations, especially on topics relating to security and foreign policy, but also political economy, development, and the environment as they impinge on security, foreign policy, and global order. The series is open to works that advance theory or analyze contemporary policy.
Countries Included in the series: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
