ISBN: 9780745324487 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the relationship between US hegemony and contemporary globalisation.

Why the Middle East Lagged Behind: The Case of Iran
ISBN: 9780761828686 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Capitalism was the engine of modern development in the West.

Understanding this, some Western developmentalists, in an attempt to remove this obstacle, rationalized a project of 'modernization' that involved imposing capitalism from the top down. Under this project, developing countries under the influence of the West were...
