Mercantilism Reimagined: Political Economy in Early Modern Britain and Its Empire
ISBN: 9780199988532 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rethinking Mercantilism brings together a group of young early modern British and European historians to investigate what use the concept "mercantilism" might still hold for both scholars and teachers of the period. While scholars often find the term unsatisfactory, mercantilism has stubbornly survived both in our classrooms and in the general scholarly discourse. These essays propose that it is largely impossible to rethink "mercantilism," given its unique status as a non-entity, by looking for "mercantilism" itself. Economics as a discipline had not emerged by the seventeenth...

The Third Globalization
ISBN: 9780199917822 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given the powerfully negative and ongoing impact of the Great Recession on western economies, the question of whether historically wealthy nations--the US, Western European countries, Japan--can stay wealthy has become an overriding concern for virtually every interested observer. Can their middle classes remain comfortable as more and more good and technically jobs disappear to other parts of the world? Can they support themselves as they devote more and more economic resources to an aging population base? In The Third Globalization, eminent political economists Dan Breznitz and...

Social Dilemmas: Understanding Human Cooperation
ISBN: 9780199897612 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the key scientific challenges is the puzzle of human cooperation. Why do people cooperate? Why do people help strangers, even sometimes at a major cost to themselves? Why do people want to punish people who violate norms and undermine collective interests? This book is inspired by the fact that social dilemmas, defined in terms of conflicts between (often short-term) self-interest and (often longer-term) collective interest, are omnipresent. The book centers on two major themes. The first theme centers on the theoretical understanding of human cooperation: are people indeed...

This definitive study brings together recent critiques of development and work in postcolonial studies to explore what the postcolonial condition has meant to rural people in the Third World. Focusing on local-level agricultural practices in India since the green revolution of the 1960s, Akhil Gupta challenges the dichotomy of developed and underdeveloped, as well as the notion of a monolithic postcolonial condition. In so doing, he advances discussions of modernity in the Third World and offers a new model for future ethnographic scholarship.
Based on fieldwork done in the village of... This definitive study brings together recent critiques of development and work in postcolonial studies to explore what the postcolonial condition has ...

How China Escaped the Poverty Trap
ISBN: 9781501700200 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before markets opened in 1978, China was an impoverished planned economy governed by a Maoist bureaucracy. In just three decades it evolved into the world's second-largest economy and is today guided by highly entrepreneurial bureaucrats. In How China Escaped the Poverty Trap, Yuen Yuen Ang explains this astonishing metamorphosis. Rather than insist that either strong institutions of good governance foster markets or that growth enables good governance, Ang lays out a new, dynamic framework for understanding development broadly. Successful development, she contends, is a... Before markets opened in 1978, China was an impoverished planned economy governed by a Maoist bureaucracy. In just three decades it evolved into th... |

The Nanxun Legacy and China's Development in the Post-Deng Era
ISBN: 9789971692469 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the spring of 1992, Deng Xiaoping made an historical tour of South China, popularly known as the "nanxun" ("southern tour"). During the tour, he boldly called for more radical economic reform and further opening up of China. The "nanxun" has become a political landmark in the history of the People's Republic of China, much like the great events such as the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution and the 1989 Tian'anmen crackdown. Deng Xiaoping has left his own legacy for the country. The "nanxun" belongs to Deng, just as the 1911 revolution belongs to Sun Yat-sen and the communist...

As both trade deficits and fiscal deficits steadily increased during the 1980s in the U.S., free trade has not stood without its share of suffering.

Poverty, Growth, and Institutions in Developing Asia
ISBN: 9781403918062 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theme of this book is that economic growth is key, but institutions and other national and subnational attributes matter as well. They are critical to explaining differences in social development and poverty reduction across countries and subnational areas that cannot be accounted for by growth alone. The book concludes that a more complete strategy needs to consider various institutional factors at the national and subnational levels to achieve rapid and sustained poverty reduction. Indeed, paying attention to these factors will benefit both growth and poverty reduction.

Advancing Ambition: Interests and Arguments in Eu Climate Policy-Making
ISBN: 9783631636220 / Angielski / Miękka / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explains under which conditions the European Union adopts ambitious domestic climate policies. It presents a theoretical framework that combines insights from rational choice institutionalism and the constructivist literature on political rhetoric. Its main argument is that ambitious sectoral climate policies emerge in situations in which the opponents of such policies run out of socially sustainable arguments to defend their positions. The framework is applied to five case studies of EU climate policy-making concerning cars, buildings, the EU s emissions trading system (EU ETS),...

Schleichende Umweltzerstoerung Und Politisches Entscheidungsverhalten: Parlamentarische Diskurse Einer Problembehafteten Beziehung
ISBN: 9783631527641 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ungeachtet einzelner Erfolge in der Umweltpolitik beweist nicht zuletzt die Vielzahl meteorologischer Extremsituationen, dass wir uns einem Klimawandel ausgesetzt sehen, der als Indiz einer langfristigen Gefahrdung menschlicher Lebensgrundlagen durch den Menschen selbst gilt. Am Beispiel der Plenardebatten im Bundestag wird der Nachweis erbracht, dass im Themenfeld der schleichenden Umweltzerstorung verbale und kommunikative Muster vorherrschen, die nicht geeignet sind, den Ressourcenverbrauch und die Systembelastung nennenswert zu schmalern. Gerade in der Umweltpolitik ist die Theorie...
