Among social scientists consensus exists on urbanization as an indispensable aspect of social modernization.

ISBN: 9789814279895 / Angielski / Twarda / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Manitoba Politics and Government: Issues, Institutions, Traditions
ISBN: 9780887557194 / Angielski / Miękka / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But Manitoba has a distinct political culture, one that has been overlooked in contemporary political studies. "Manitoba Politics and Government" brings together the work of political scientists, historians, sociologists, economists, public servants, and journalists to...
