Reigns of Terror
ISBN: 9780773526419 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reigns of Terror is a study of states that have committed gross human rights crimes against their own citizens. Patricia Marchak seeks to discover whether these states have anything in common - whether there are preconditions that can be identified as leading to crimes against humanity so that the world community could take preventive action in similar situations elsewhere. She provides short histories of nine culturally and historically diverse societies where such crimes occurred during the 20th century, including the Ottoman Empire in Armenia, the USSR in the Eastern Ukraine, Nazi Germany,...

No Easy Fix: Global Responses to Internal Wars and Crimes Against Humanity: Volume 6
ISBN: 9780773540194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The UN has adopted a "responsibility to protect" mandate for humanitarian intervention in civil wars - but there is no institutional basis for carrying out that mandate. Patricia Marchak argues that unless would-be interveners have an understanding of local issues, agents who speak local languages, and a military force fully prepared to undertake both peaceful and military missions on short notice, UN and other attempts to intervene are unlikely to succeed. While UN-sponsored international criminal courts have been successful in obliging leaders to accept responsibility for their actions...

Ideological Perspectives on Canada
ISBN: 9780773538689 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Marchak argues that liberalism and socialism have many commonalities, such as the goals of equality and freedom for citizens. Corporatism, however, is opposed to equality and promotes an authoritarian hierarchy, resembling the older conservative ideology. To support her argument, Marchak provides a general overview of the study of ideologies, analyzes liberalism and socialism in the context of Canada, and uses Marxist theory to explain past and present class structure and the emergence of a corporatist social structure. A valuable contribution to the debate about the society we live in,...

ISBN: 9780773538672 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In In Whose Interests, Patricia Marchak adopts a critical perspective, arguing that multinational corporations do not operate in the interests of society at large or in the interests of a national society such as Canada. Creating and sustaining a set of interests particular to their own well-being and growth, they are efficient organizations for which human labour and management of technical resources are primarily of monetary value. Such resources, along with natural materials, are managed by and for corporations so that technology, labour, and knowledge are harnessed to corporate growth...
