Spatiality, Sovereignty and Carl Schmitt : Geographies of the Nomos
ISBN: 9780415522861 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The writings of Carl Schmitt are now indissociable from both an historical period and a contemporary moment. He will forever be remembered for his association with the National Socialists of 1930s Germany, and as the figure whose writings on sovereignty, politics, and the law provided justification for authoritarian, decisional states. Yet at the same time, the post-September 11th 2001 world is one in which a wide range of scholars have increasingly turned to Schmitt to understand a world of "with us or against us" Manichaeism, spaces of exception which seem to be placed outside the law by...

Participatory Development in Kenya
ISBN: 9780754678779 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Participatory Development (PDev) has been embraced by Third World governments and international organizations such as the World Bank as a means to reduce poverty and empower disadvantaged communities.

ISBN: 9781409428152 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
