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.

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.

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.

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,...
