In 1915, women from over thirty countries met in The Hague to express opposition to World War I and propose ways to end it.

Glocalization: A Critical Introduction
ISBN: 9780415722438 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book seeks to provide a critical introduction to the under-theorized concept of Glocalization. While the term has been slowly diffused into social-scientific vocabulary, to date, there is no book in circulation that specifically discusses this concept. Historically theorists have intertwined the concepts of the global and the glocal or have subsumed the glocal under other concepts such as cosmopolitanization. Moreover, theorists have failed to give local due attention in their theorizing. The book argues that the terms global, the local and the glocal are in need of unambiguous and...

Written from within the political studies and international relations disciplines, and with a particular interest in the US, this book demonstrates that the widespread use of global is more than a linguistic curiosity.

Civil Resistance in the Arab Spring: Triumphs and Disasters
ISBN: 9780198749028 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Civil resistance, especially in the form of massive peaceful demonstrations, was at the heart of the Arab Spring-the chain of events in the Middle East and North Africa that erupted in December 2010. It won some notable victories: popular movements helped to bring about the fall of authoritarian governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Yet these apparent triumphs of non-violent action were followed by disasters--wars in Syria, anarchy in Libya and Yemen, reversion to authoritarian rule in Egypt, and counter-revolution backed by external intervention in Bahrain. Looming over these...
