ISBN: 9780199688470 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The authors argue that investment in human... The concept of National Innovation Systems is well established in academic research and enthusiastically adopted by policymakers. Yet there are relati...

Lives in Peril: Profit or Safety in the Global Maritime Industry?
ISBN: 9780230573833 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lives in Peril demonstrates how and why seafarers are a vulnerable group of workers. It argues they are made so by the organisation and structure of their employment; the prioritisation of profit over safety by the actors that engage and control their labour; the limits of enforcement of the regulatory framework that is in place to protect them; and by their weakness as collective actors in relation to capital. The consequences of this vulnerability are seen in data on their occupationally-related morbidity and mortality - evidence that probably only represents a partial picture of the actual...
