Post-Marxism: An Intellectual History
ISBN: 9780415218146 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Post-Marxism is now a well-established theoretical position concerned with rescuing aspects of Marxist thought from the collapse of Marxism as a global, cultural and political force. Marxism has now generally come to be regarded as a discredited system of thought, carrying with it a burden of authoritarianism and totalitarianism which is at odds with the current commitment to cultural pluralism and libertarianism. This book traces the crystallisation of post-Marxism as a specific theoretical position in its own right and considers the role played in its development by post-structuralism,...

Social Capital and Participation in Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780415232739 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This timely volume puts emphasis on the effect of social capital on everyday life: how the routines of daily life lead people to get involved in their communities.

The book suggests that different modes of participation have different consequences for creating - or destroying - a sense of community or participation. The diversity of countries, institutions and groups...

Postwar British Politics: From Conflict to Consensus
ISBN: 9780415232753 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a fresh view of postwar British politics, very much at odds to the dominant view in contemporary scholarship. The author argues that postwar British politics, up to and including the Blair Government, can be largely characterised in terms of continuity and a gradual evolution from a period of conflict over the primary aims of government strategy to one of recent relative consensus. This book provides a provocative and challenging account of the historical background to the election of the Blair Government and will be of interest to a wide audience.

Political Corruption: In Beyond the Nation State
ISBN: 9780415235563 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, combining scholarship with readability, shows that political corruption must itself be analysed politically. Spectacularly corrupt politicians - the exception rather than the rule - are usually symptoms, not causes, and much political corruption is simply normal politics taken to excess. But in a world in which anti-corruption strategies themselves are often thinly disguised examples of political corruption, the ways in which political systems address their own corruption are as varied and fascinating in character as crucial to comprehend.
A valuable read for anyone studying... This book, combining scholarship with readability, shows that political corruption must itself be analysed politically. Spectacularly corrupt politici...

ISBN: 9780415238946 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Social Relations and Social Exclusion: Rethinking Political Economy
ISBN: 9780415240406 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work sets out a new approach to understanding society, based on rational choice theory. Starting from a few simple assumptions about the nature and context of human action, this text provides a reinterpretation of our major social institutions. Its central aim is to see how far social relations can be explained on the basis of human beings acting in their own interests rather than under the confines of wider social forces.

Globalization and Social Change
ISBN: 9780415241717 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume aims to challenge conventional thinking regarding the inevitability of globalization. Rather than seeing globalization as the end station of capitalism, it presents the development of this phenomenon as a disruptive and conflicting process. It considers the capacity of the state as the agent behind the implementation of the neoliberal project and discusses the potential for resistance and alternatives to globalization. International contributors examine the question of globalization from many angles, providing a fresh perspective on this influential movement.

War, Peace and World Orders in European History
ISBN: 9780415244404 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work explores a new way for students of international relations to look at war, peace and world orders throughout European history. The contributors argue that the predominant realist paradigm that focuses on states and their self-interest is not applicable to the largest period of European history because states either did not exist or were only in the making. Instead, they argue, we have to look through the eyes of historical identities to see how they understood the world in which they lived.
