ISBN: 9780754647140 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The expansion of the European Union in 2004 has had significant consequences for both existing and new members of the Union.

One of the more important fields in which these changes are impacting is regional development. The admission of the new countries changes patterns of economic and social disparities across the territory of the European Union, which in turn demands that existing approaches...

The Development and Antidevelopment Debate: Critical Reflections on the Philosophical Foundations
ISBN: 9781409409977 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reflecting on the philosophical assumptions that sustain the development debate, Rabbani analyzes how the modern project of development and the antidevelopment discourse reduce the human condition to a struggle for self-preservation and, likewise, social and international cooperation to a strategic and self-defeating process. The book centers on core inconsistencies in the rationale of both discourses as they stand for individual autonomy, collective self-determination and mutual respect. Building these social goals around the requirement of non-interference in individual or collective...

When designing, planning and building urban spaces, many contradictory and conflicting actors, practices and agendas coexist.
