The result is a compelling theory of income distribution, one that...

Financing Development - The Power of Regionalism
ISBN: 9780881323535 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych.

Experiments in Achieving Water and Food Self-Sufficiency in the Middle East : The Consequences of Contrasting Endowments, Ideologies, and Investment Policies in Saudi Arabia and Syria
ISBN: 9781581122985 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The book shows that of Saudi Arabias US$1,034 billion in oil revenues (1974-2001), 48% was spent on security, plus 10% on the... The book aims to quantify and analyze how two water scarce but ideologically different Middle Eastern political economies, Saudi Arabia and Syria, add...
