Can We Afford the Future?: The Economics of a Warming World
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...

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 - ...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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,...

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...

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... |

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.

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...
