The Politics of Africa's Economic Recovery
ISBN: 9780521415439 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With the waning of the Cold War, the major political powers are no longer constrained to support African authoritarianism. All over Africa democratic experiments have sprung up. But can they survive, and are they compatible with renewed economic growth? Richard Sandbrook answers these questions and assesses the feasibility of the new political program in reinforcing Africa's economic recovery. He argues that the program has merit in the short term, but in the longer term, a more self-reliant, state-directed approach should be adopted to ensure prosperity and durable democracy.

Reinventing the Left in the Global South: The Politics of the Possible
ISBN: 9781107421097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a fresh appraisal of the nature and significance of the democratic Left in the Global South. The moral and intellectual leadership of the Left is shifting south from its European birthplace. It is in the Global South, most notably in Latin America, that one finds newly self-confident progressive movements. This 'new' democratic Left includes parties and social movements that not only are avoiding the familiar pitfalls that ensnared socialists and social democrats in the twentieth century, but also are coping with the realities of the twenty-first century, especially...

Social Democracy in the Global Periphery: Origins, Challenges, Prospects
ISBN: 9780521686877 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social Democracy in the Global Periphery focuses on social-democratic regimes in the developing world that have, to varying degrees, reconciled the needs of achieving growth through globalized markets with extensions of political, social and economic rights. The authors show that opportunities exist to achieve significant social progress, despite a global economic order that favours core industrial countries. Their findings derive from a comparative analysis of four exemplary cases: Kerala (India), Costa Rica, Mauritius and Chile (since 1990). Though unusual, the social and political...

Closing the Circle: Democratization and Development in Africa
ISBN: 9781856498289 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We all know that many African countries face political tyranny, failed capitalist development, and violent domestic conflict. What is less clear is what relationship may exist between effective democratic institutions and the solution of the last two problems. Richard Sandbrook draws on the experience with democratisation of a carefully selected sample of countries: Ghana, Mali and Niger in West Africa; Zambia, Tanzania and Madagascar in East Africa; and Sudan. He illustrates the diversity of African experiences of the transition to democratic political forms and the complex relationships...

Proletarians and African Capitalism: The Kenya Case, 1960-1972
ISBN: 9780521100786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A study of the role of unionised workers in Kenya, this places the workers and their unions within the broad context of an evolving political economy. Similar studies, often restricted to a single trade union, have usually focused either on union government relations or on internal union politics. This work is distinguished by its attempt to reveal the interrelation between these two facets of working-class life within a peculiar type of socio-economic environment - a predominantly peasant society governed by an elite committed to a capitalist economic strategy, closely associated with an...

The Politics of Africa's Economic Stagnation
ISBN: 9780521319614 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. African states are not, in any real sense, capitalist states. Elsewhere, the state has played a crucial role in facilitating capitalist expansion, but in postcolonial Africa one finds a form of neopatrimonialism - personal rule - that introduces a variety of economic irrationalities. Productive economic activities are impeded by the political instability, systemic corruption and maladminstration associated with personal rule. In extreme cases, a downward spiral of political-economic decline is set in motion that is difficult to halt and reverse. Is personal rule simply a euphemism for...

Civilizing Globalization: A Survival Guide
ISBN: 9781438452098 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is it possible to harness the benefits of economic globalization without sacrificing social equity, ecological sustainability, and democratic governance? The first edition of Civilizing Globalization (2003) explored this question at a time of widespread popular discontent. This fully revised and expanded edition comes at an equally crucial juncture. The period of relative stability and prosperity in the world economy that followed the release of the first edition ended abruptly in 2008 with a worldwide economic crisis that illustrated in dramatic fashion the enduring problems with our...
