Democracy Derailed in Russia: The Failure of Open Politics
ISBN: 9780521853613 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although Russia experienced dramatic political breakthroughs in the late 1980s and early 1990s after shedding the shackles of Soviet rule, it subsequently failed to continue progressing toward democracy. M. Steven Fish offers an explanation for the direction of regime change in post-Soviet Russia, relying on cross-national comparative analysis as well as on in-depth field research in Russia. Fish demonstrates that Russia's failure to democratize has three causes: too much economic reliance on oil, too little economic liberalization, and too weak a national legislature.
Although Russia experienced dramatic political breakthroughs in the late 1980s and early 1990s after shedding the shackles of Soviet rule, it subseque...

The Evolution of Reason: Logic as a Branch of Biology
ISBN: 9780521791960 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The formal systems of logic have ordinarily been regarded as independent of biology, but recent developments in evolutionary theory suggest that biology and logic may be intimately interrelated. In this book, William S. Cooper outlines a theory of rationality in which logical law emerges as an intrinsic aspect of evolutionary biology. He examines the connections between logic and evolutionary biology and illustrates how logical rules are derived directly from evolutionary principles, and therefore, have no independent status of their own. This biological perspective on logic, though at...

Japan's Network Economy: Structure, Persistence, and Change
ISBN: 9780521453042 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book uses quantitative and historical methods to trace the evolution of the Japanese economy's business network from the prewar period to the end of the century. It addresses whether the controversial "keiretsu" enterprise groupings have outlived their usefulness and are withering away in the face of deregulation, globalization, and market liberalization. While concluding that these relationships are still central to Japanese business, the book also notes that they are much more subordinated to the strategies of individual enterprises than was true of the prewar network economy.

Global Capital Markets: Integration, Crisis, and Growth
ISBN: 9780521633178 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book presents an economic history of international capital mobility in the modern era. It blends narrative and quantitative methods and connects economic outcomes to the underlying political economy of international macroeconomics. The volume demonstrates that the recent globalization can be seen, in part, as the resumption of a liberal world order that had previously been established in the years 1880-1914, but also points out that much is different in terms of its causes and consequences.

Rightful Resistance in Rural China
ISBN: 9780521861311 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How can the poor and weak 'work' a political system to their advantage� Drawing mainly on interviews and surveys in rural China, Kevin O'Brien and Lianjiang Li show that popular action often hinges on locating and exploiting divisions within the state. Otherwise powerless people use the rhetoric and commitments of the central government to try to fight misconduct by local officials, open up clogged channels of participation, and push back the frontiers of the permissible. This 'rightful resistance' has far-reaching implications for our understanding of contentious politics. As O'Brien...

Body and World is the definitive edition of a book that should now take its place as a major contribution to contemporary existential phenomenology. Samuel Todes goes beyond Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty in his description of how independent physical nature and experience are united in our bodily action. His account allows him to preserve the authority of experience while avoiding the tendency towards idealism that threatens both Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty.Todes emphasizes the complex structure of the human body; front/back asymmetry, the need to balance in a...
