South Africa, Settler Colonialism and the Failures of Liberal Democracy
ISBN: 9781783602247 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On paper, post-apartheid South Africa is a smoothly functioning liberal democracy, with regular elections, multiple political parties, and a range of progressive social rights. And in a certain sense, that s not untrue. Nonetheless, a darker reality lurks in the background: an all-too-pervasive politics of the extraordinary, where the political discourse relies on threats and violence, and conflicts are presented in starkly racial terms.
In this book, Thiven Reddy exposes that other South Africa, showing how conventional approaches to understanding democratization in the nation have...

Posthuman International Relations: Complexity, Ecologism and Global Politics
ISBN: 9781848135147 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this bold intervention, Cudworth and Hobden draw on recent advances in thinking about complexity theory to call for a profound re-envisioning of the study of international relations. As a discipline, IR is wedded to the enlightenment project of overcoming the "hazards" of nature, and thus remains constrained by its blinkered "human-centered" approach. Furthermore, as a means of predicting major global-political events and trends, it has failed consistently. Instead, the authors argue, it is essential we develop a much more nuanced and sophisticated analysis of global political systems,...

This book provides a critical and comprehensive overview of one of the most important rebel groups in recent history. In the early hours of January 1, 1994 a guerrilla army of indigenous Mayan peasants emerged in the far southeast of Mexico and declared "Ya basta " -- "Enough ."

Genocide, War Crimes and the West: History and Complicity
ISBN: 9781842771914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Genocide and war crimes are increasingly the focus of scholarly and activist attention. Much controversy exists over how, precisely, these grim phenomena should be defined and conceptualized. Genocide, War Crimes & the West tackles this controversy, and clarifies our understanding of an important but under-researched dimension: the involvement of the US and other liberal democracies in actions that are conventionally depicted as the exclusive province of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
Many of the authors are eminent scholars and/or renowned activists; in most cases, their... Genocide and war crimes are increasingly the focus of scholarly and activist attention. Much controversy exists over how, precisely, these grim phenom...

ISBN: 9781848130371 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. According to many scientists, climate change is a growing threat to life as we know it, requiring a large-scale, immediate response. According to many economists, climate change is a moderately important problem; the best policy is a slow, gradual start, to avoid spending too much. They can't both be right.
In this book, Frank Ackerman offers a refreshing look at the economics of climate change, explaining how the arbitrary assumptions of conventional theories get in the way of understanding this urgent problem. The benefits of climate protection are vital but priceless, and hence often...

Sex, Needs and Queer Culture: From Liberation to the Postgay
ISBN: 9781783605132 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The belief of many in the early sexual liberation movements was that capitalism's investment in the norms of the heterosexual family meant that any challenge to them was invariably anti-capitalist. In recent years, however, lesbian and gay subcultures have become increasingly mainstream and commercialized--as seen, for example, in corporate backing for pride events--while the initial radicalism of sexual liberation has given way to relatively conservative goals over marriage and adoption rights. Meanwhile, queer theory has critiqued this homonormativity, or assimilation, as if some act of...

Private Security in Africa: From the Global Assemblage to the Everyday
ISBN: 9781786990266 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Across Africa, growing economic inequality, instability, and urbanization have led to the rapid rise of private security providers. While these private security providers have already had a significant impact on African societies, their impact has so far received little in the way of comprehensive analysis--until now. Drawing on a wide range of disciplinary approaches, and encompassing anthropology, sociology, and political science, Private Security in Africa offers unique insight into the lives and experiences of security providers and those affected by them, as well as into the...

States of Conflict: Gender, Violence and Resistance
ISBN: 9781856496568 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The volume will make links, in an non-simplistic way, between conflicts at the international, national, community, and household levels. It recognizes the enduring relevance of factors such as the exclusion of women from the public sphere and militarized constructions of masculinity to present-day examples of gendered violence. At the same time, it raises awkward questions about women's agency in these contexts.

Worst-Case Scenario?: Governance, Mediation and the Security Regime
ISBN: 9781848135307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this original and provocative new book, Stuart Price identifies the existence of a practice that lies at the core of the western security regime - the worst-case scenario. This consists of the projection of a significant material threat, made by an authoritative or executive power, used to bolster the security agenda of the neo-liberal state. This in turn has altered the conduct of military and police operations, which are increasingly directed against any substantial expression of dissent.
Using a wide range of official sources and case studies, from 9/11 to the Stockwell shooting,... In this original and provocative new book, Stuart Price identifies the existence of a practice that lies at the core of the western security regime - ...

City Futures: Confronting the Crisis of Urban Development
ISBN: 9781842775400 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cities are the future. In the past two decades, a global urban revolution has taken place, mainly in the South. The 'mega-cities' of the developing world are home to over 10 million people each and even smaller cities are experiencing unprecedented population surges. The problems surrounding this influx of people - slums, poverty, unemployment and lack of governance - have been well-documented.
This book is a powerful indictment of the current consensus on how to deal with these challenges. Pieterse argues that the current 'shelter for all' and 'urban good governance' policies treat only...
