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.

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...
