ISBN: 9780714649368 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The transformation of East Germany has changed the economy and society and left deep scars, as the types of social protection offered by the centralized socialism of the previous regime gave way to uncertainties and individualized life chances.

As the productive economy, infrastructure and housing are going a rapid and costly modernization to Western standards, the transition to market principles and a risk society, generates winners and losers.

"Destination Europe" interprets and interrelates the major political, economic and security developments in Europe--including transatlantic relations--from the end of World War II up until the present time, and looks ahead to how the continent may evolve politically in the future. The book fills a definite lacuna in the current literature on Europe, as most studies cover only specific aspects, such as the European Union.

ISBN: 9780719076831 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. State-building intervention in weak, war-torn or failing states has become a priority for the international community.

This book explores this key issue through a critical examination of a new model of state-building intervention which has recently emerged in relation to the Pacific 'arc of crisis'.

The Feminine Economy and Economic Man
ISBN: 9780738200361 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We hear much talk about "family values," but what "value" do we actually place on the family itself? In Postindustrial America is the family merely a moral and sentimental "worthy cause?" Or is it in fact the focus of some of society's most important work-the development of productive workers and citizens-and thus one of the primary engines of economic growth? In The Feminine Economy and Economic Man, Shirley Burggraf sets the record straight about the true value-and true cost-of the family's work in nurturing and protecting society's "human capital." With startling insight she also shows why...

Pathways After Empire: National Identity and Foreign Economic Policy in the Post-Soviet World
ISBN: 9780742516731 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores how culture shapes foreign economic policy in post-Soviet states. After the Soviet empire fragmented, some of the newly emerged nations directed their economic activities primarily toward Russia and other former republics, while others turned sharply away from the Soviet bloc. Taking a constructivist approach, Andrei P. Tsygankov explains the striking variation by making the original argument that a new state's strength of national identity shapes its foreign economic policy. The stronger the identity, the more likely the new state was to shift away from the empire. Drawing...
