Social Movements and State Power: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador
ISBN: 9780745324227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The 2003 electoral victory of Lucio Gutierrez in Ecuador was met with the same sense of optimism that greeted the election of Ignacio 'Lula' da Silva in Brazil, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Gutierrez's victory was viewed as a major advance for the country in its 500 year-long struggle for freedom and democracy. In Bolivia, Evo Morales similarly came within an electoral whisker of achieving state power in 2002, and in 2003 Nestor Kirchner became President of Argentina. Many journalists, academics and politicians speak of a "left-turn" in Latin America, characterizing these regimes as "center...

Cardoso's Brazil: A Land for Sale
ISBN: 9780742526310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a systematic, critical analysis of the presidency of Fernando Cardoso, this ambitious case study assesses government policies within the framework of the 'new economic model' of globalization and structural adjustment. Petras and Veltmeyer argue that Cardoso paved the way for what amounted to the takeover of a large and important part of Brazil's economy by foreign investors. The authors discuss the neoliberal model of capitalist development, the privatization of key sectors and enterprises, the human cost of structural adjustment, and the search for a community-based form of local...

ISBN: 9780754649496 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The role and economic power of corporations that dominate the world economy has generated considerable controversy. The most heated debate and the most critical questions surrounding the role of multinational corporations relate to foreign direct investment (FDI). This key volume offers an entirely fresh perspective of the role of multinationals and the development impact of FDI. Contrary to prevailing opinion, it examines whether imperialism is a much more useful concept for describing and explaining the dynamics of world development than globalization. FDI is a mechanism for empire-centred...

Globalization Unmasked: Imperialism in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781856499392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Perhaps no word today is used and misused more than globalization. It generally serves to refer to worldwide epoch-defining changes in the organization of societies, economies and politics. But as Petras and Veltmeyer demonstrate, the term globalization obscures much more than it reveals.
In practice, globalization provides a cover for a new form of imperialist exploitation and the institution of US hegemony over a global process of capital accumulation. In the last decade, capitalists in Europe and the United States have created favourable conditions for the takeover and recolonization...
