ISBN: 9780300068191 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The social sciences offer many insights into the causes of the intense ethnic conflicts that characterize the close of the twentieth century, but they also create obstacles to understanding these baffling problems, contends H.

Forbes takes a critical look at the "contact hypothesis"--the assumption commonly held by social scientists that increased contact between different ethnic groups gives each group more accurate information about the other and thus reduces friction. By distinguishing aggregate from individual relations, Forbes suggests a way out of the...

How to Read Marx
ISBN: 9780393328783 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Drawing on passages from a wide range of Marx's writings, and showing the links among them, Osborne refutes the myth of Marx as a reductively economistic thinker. What Marx meant by "materialism," "communism," and the "critique of political economy" was much richer and more original, philosophically, than is generally recognized. With the renewed globalization of capitalism since 1989, Osborne argues, Marx's analyses of the consequences of commodification are more relevant today than ever before Extracts are taken from the full breadth of Marx's writings, includingNotebooks on Epicurean...

ISBN: 9780415151702 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The politics of Japan are less widely reported than its economics.

Containing an introductory essay, an essay on theories of Japanese politics and over 250 A-Z entries, the Dictionary of the Modern Politics of Japan...
