The Throes of Democracy: Brazil Since 1989
ISBN: 9781842779262 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the 1980s, Brazil emerged from two decades of military dictatorship and embarked on an experiment in full democracy for the first time in the nation's history. Since then, Brazilians have sought to live up to the ideals of this experiment while negotiating dramatic economic and cultural transformations. In "The Throes of Democracy," Bryan McCann gives a panoramic view of this process, exploring the relationships between the rise of the political left, the escalation of urban violence, the agribusiness boom and the spread of pentecostal evangelization. Brazil remains a land marked by... In the 1980s, Brazil emerged from two decades of military dictatorship and embarked on an experiment in full democracy for the first time in the na... |

The Congo Wars: Conflict, Myth and Reality
ISBN: 9781842776896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book, by a lifelong authority on the Congo, makes sense of the world's least reported and least understood major war. Since 1996 successive waves of armed conflict in the Congo have left behind at least 3 million casualties, overwhelmingly civilian. Turner throws new light on partisan and economically self-interested military interventions by Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. And he cuts through the highly tendentious historical myths that have been used to make sense of the unfolding catastrophe both in the region and beyond. The book also indicates the changes required of the...

South Africa, Settler Colonialism and the Failures of Liberal Democracy
ISBN: 9781783602230 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

From Recipients to Donors: Emerging Powers and the Changing Development Landscape
ISBN: 9781848139473 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Foreign aid has seen enormous changes in the last decade. In the early millennium, it appeared that donor nations might succeed in combating partisan interests, and commit to a new era of coordinated policies and practices. However, the last few years have witnessed a number of challenges to this model: the problematic intrusion of security agendas; inherent difficulties in harmonization and alignment; and difficulties in securing promised finances after the financial crises. One of the key challenges arises from the growing proliferation of donors, with the growing flow of development... Foreign aid has seen enormous changes in the last decade.

How Numbers Rule the World
ISBN: 9781780322674 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Numbers dominate global politics and as a result our everyday lives. Credit ratings steer financial markets and can make or break the future of entire nations. GDP drives our economies. Stock market indices flood our media and national debates. Statistical calculations define how we deal with climate change, poverty and sustainability. But what is behind these numbers? By what processes are they created? In How Numbers Rule the World Lorenzo Fioramonti reveals the hidden agendas underpinning the use of statistics and those who control them. Most worryingly, he shows how numbers have been used...

Development and the African Diaspora: Place and the Politics of Home
ISBN: 9781842779019 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There has been much recent celebration of the success of African 'civil society' in forging global connections through an ever-growing diaspora. Against the background of such celebrations, this innovative book sheds light on the diasporic networks - 'home associations' - whose economic contributions are being used to develop home. Despite these networks being part of the flow of migrants' resources back to Africa that now outweighs official development assistance, the relationship between the flow of capital and social and political change are still poorly understood.

Genocide, War Crimes and the West: History and Complicity
ISBN: 9781842771907 / Angielski / Twarda / 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...

Painted into a Corner
ISBN: 9781291870992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These are poems and paintings which reflect the poets struggle to make order out of chaos. For years, Mikdadi has struggled for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. At different junctures in his life, his despair at the intransigence of both sides and at the sheer cruelty of what Palestinians have had to endure, led him to write poetry and, occasionally, to paint in watercolours. These are some of the poems and paintings that he produced during his life. They speak for themselves.

Rethinking the 21st Century: 'New' Problems, 'Old' Solutions
ISBN: 9781848130074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book brings context and perspective to the security problems of today. Global security and stability is now challenged not only by states and nuclear war, but by insurgency, disease, environmental degradation and military privatisation. Yet the way we perceive politics can be dangerously stark and ahistorical. The authors show that, far from being a clean break, the "new" problems faced today might actually have "old" solutions. What can Locke tell us about terrorists? What does Bentham have to say about sanctions? What are the ethics of outsourcing war to private companies? By...

Sex, Needs and Queer Culture: From Liberation to the Postgay
ISBN: 9781783605125 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

Taking Aim at the Arms Trade: NGOs, Global Civil Society and the World Military Order
ISBN: 9781848132689 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Taking Aim at The Arms Trade: NGOs, Global Civil Society and the World Military Order takes a critical look at the ways in which NGOs portray the arms trade as a problem of international politics and the strategies they use to effect change.
NGOs have been pivotal in bringing the suffering caused by the arms trade to public attention, documenting its negative impact on human rights, conflict, security and development around the world, and pushing for measures to control or eradicate the trade. Overall, however, their activity has helped sideline debate on Northern military predominance...
