Globalization, Democracy, and the Middle East
ISBN: 9783639186727 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a comparative study that seeks to demonstrate how integration into global markets has affected political development in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. It is widely believed that free markets foster democracy by decentralizing political power and strengthening civil society. Careful analysis of recent developments in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, however, reveals that market integration can have widely divergent political consequences based on the nature of the domestic economy "linking in" to the global marketplace. In Saudi Arabia, market integration has actually led to weakened ...

ISBN: 9780195391237 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Political Power of Bad Ideas, Mark Schrad uses one of the greatest oddities of modern history--the broad diffusion throughout the Western world of alcohol-control legislation in the early twentieth century--to make a powerful argument about how bad policy ideas achieve international success. His could an idea that was widely recognized by experts as bad before adoption, and which ultimately failed everywhere, come to be adopted throughout the world?

Transition, Labor and Political Elites in Slovenia and Croatia
ISBN: 9783639208108 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although both Slovenia and Croatia feature relatively strong labor movements with autonomous trade unions capable of mobilizing action, these two countries trade unions have diverged when it comes to their position in the political landscape. This paper argues that it is the attitudes and orientations of the elites that have shaped the political standing of trade unions to the largest extent. Especially important were the attitudes of the elites during the critical juncture of the early 1990s. The pattern of interaction that has formed in this period has had the tendency to persist despite...

Why have Taiwan, rich parts of China, and Thailand boomed famously, while the Philippines has long remained stagnant both economically and politically? Do booms abet democracy? Does the rise of middle "classes" promise future liberalization? Why has Philippine democracy brought no boom and barely served the Filipino people?

Specifically, it pays attention to local, not just national, power networks that caused or prevented growth in the aforementioned countries....
