Engines of Growth: The State and Transnational Auto Companies in Brazil
ISBN: 9780521416405 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the 1950s, Brazil prohibited car imports and forced transnational auto companies either to abandon the market or manufacture vehicles within the country. Although currently contending approaches to economic development would suggest that this type of industrialization policy would fail in the political-economic context of postwar Brazil, the plan was successful according to a variety of criteria. The Brazilian auto industry would become the largest in the periphery. The book explains the economic and political motivations behind the plan, and why Brazil relied on foreign firms to do the...

Making and Breaking Governments: Cabinets and Legislatures in Parliamentary Democracies
ISBN: 9780521432450 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Making and Breaking Governments offers a theoretical argument about how parliamentary democracy works. The authors formulate a theoretical model of how parties create new governments and either maintain them in office or, after a resignation or no-confidence vote, replace them. The theory involves strategic interaction, derives consequences, formulates empirical hypotheses on the basis of these, and tests the hypotheses with data drawn from the postwar European experience with parliamentary democracy.

Politics and Aesthetics in the Arts
ISBN: 9780521454186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume brings together new essays from distinguished scholars in a variety of disciplines--philosophy, history, literary studies, art history--to explore various ways in which aesthetics, politics and the arts interact with one another. Together the essays demonstrate the need to counteract the reductionist view of the relationship between politics and the arts that prevails in different ways in both philosophy and critical theory. They suggest that the irreducibility of the aesthetic must prompt us to reconceive the political as it relates to human cultural activity.

Challenging the State: Crisis and Innovation in Latin America and Africa
ISBN: 9780521551069 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1980s and 1990s posed great challenges to governments in Latin America and Africa deeply affected by economic and political crises that weakened their ability to encourage economic development and provide for effective governance. Using case studies of Mexico and Kenya this book shows how a decade of deep and sustained crisis also became a decade of innovations in ideas, policy directions, political coalitions, and government institutions. Merilee Grindle argues that political leadership and structures of political power, while frequently part of the problem of underdevelopment, are also...

The balance between offense and defense depends on geography, technology, and other factors. This theory, and the body of related theories, has generated much debate and research over the past twenty-five years.This book presents a comprehensive overview of offense-defense theory. It includes contending views on the theory and some of... Offense-defense theory argues that the relative ease of offense and defense varies in international politics.
