The Indo Pacific Region: Security Dynamics and Challenges
ISBN: 9789385563317 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Asia's diversity in culture, ethnicity, religions, ideology, environment, history, economy and systems of governance is without parallel. Consequently, conflict is endemic. Going hand in hand with conflict is multi-faceted competition. At one level, it is for resources: the emerging economies of the Asia Pacific, South and South East Asia compete for energy and mineral resources with developed countries, including USA, Europe, Japan and South Korea. Economic growth and continued development of Asia as a whole are contingent upon security and stability, without which precious resources will...

ISBN: 9781138707276 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet, as this new study demonstrates, by the early 20th century the Chinese government reversed its previous policy and began to encourage...

Lost in Transnation: Alternative Narrative, National, and Historical Visions of the Korean-American Subject in Select 20th-Century Korean A
ISBN: 9781433112720 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume examines the engagement with national histories, citizenship, and the larger transnational contexts in the narrative plot lines in selected twentieth-century Korean American novels.

Many novels - Younghill Kang's East Goes West, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee, Chang-rae Lee's A Gesture Life, to name a few - do deal with the idea of an "American identity," however, they...

Patriots' Game: Yongli Chemical Industries, 1917-1953
ISBN: 9789004336377 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "When thinking about modern China's chemical industry, forget not Fan Xudong," so declared Mao Zedong publicly after 1949. Although Mao might have united front politics in mind when invoking Fan as a paragon of the national bourgeoisie, why would the chairman praise a champion of private enterprise? How did Fan Xudong and his colleagues build Yongli from scratch into one of the largest industrial conglomerates in modern China amid predatory foreign competition and domestic strife? What were his secrets of success? Drawing from company documents, government archives, and personal...

Unia Europejska wobec Azji Centralnej
ISBN: 9788364541216 / Polski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Niwelowanie różnic gospodarczych i kulturowych uchodzić może za signum temporis ostatnich dekad. Procesy te określane mianem globalizacji, a w społeczeństwach doświadczonych ich skutkami nierzadko utożsamiane z neokolonializmem, kształtują naszą rzeczywistość. Są jedną z sił sprawczych Huntingtonowskich zderzeń cywilizacji, a zarazem racjonalistycznym antidotum na to, co przynoszą współczesnemu światu. Ich tryumf determinowany postępem technicznym może uchodzić za funkcje czasu oraz dynamiki, w jakich postępuje.

Niegdyś potężne imperium rozciągające się od Morza Kaspijskiego po Morze Śródziemne, dzisiaj zubożałe państewko na Kaukazie Południowym. A przecież to tutaj, na szczycie Araratu, osiadła po biblijnym potopie arka Noego, to tutaj na nowo miał się zacząć świat. Armenia jako pierwsze państwo na świecie przyjęła chrześcijaństwo, a jej mieszkańcy uznali się za naród wybrany przez Boga. Ale jeśli Bóg naprawdę wybrał Ormian, to potraktował ich niczym Hioba. Ten mały naród z bogatą tradycją piśmiennictwa, kultury i sztuki żyje dzisiaj wspomnieniami... Armenia.
