The cost to consumers of "special" protection aside from textiles...

ISBN: 9781403903907 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The contributions on agency explore concepts and categories of political action that enable individuals to act politically and to re-make the world in new, unpredictable ways. The contributions on structure explore how Arendt...

ISBN: 9781853396403 / Angielski / Miękka / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In almost all African countries the political elites are uninterested in leading a development process. Western donor countries and institutions have largely turned a blind eye to this situation, and indeed aid has become an important resource in maintaining...
