India and the Responsibility to Protect
ISBN: 9781409468721 / Angielski / Twarda / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Geneva Conference of 1954 on Indochina
ISBN: 9781349182909 / Angielski / Miękka / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Geneva Agreements of 1954 were widely welcomed. They ended a seven-year war in Indochina; gave France a dignified exit; averted wider conflict. In later years first Americans and Vietnamese, then Russians, Chinese, Cambodians and even Laotians tried to force Indochina into different patterns of their own devising. These new wars triggered by rejection of the Geneva compromise lasted longer, killed more people, did greater damage and achieved less - for everybody. Perhaps Churchill was right: jaw-jaw is better than war-war. Certainly this lively, first-hand, up-dated account of the Geneva...

An era of economic globalisation and inward investment has seen much interest in Japanese labour management techniques.

Professor Hazama debunks the myth that Japanese-style management is inherited from her feudal past, showing the impact of businesses imported from the west after reunification in 1867-68 and how these were amalgamated with a range of Japanese...

ISBN: 9780333548080 / Angielski / Twarda / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
