The Endgame of Globalization
ISBN: 9780415950121 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Endgame of Globalization argues that US actions since 9/11 represent the final stage in the US's century-long effort to complete the project of making US-led globalization a concrete reality across the world. Smith structures the book through three historical moments: 1) the attempted creation of a global Monroe doctrine between 1898 and 1919; 2) the Roosevelt administration's creation of the Bretton Woods institutions - the World Bank, the IMF, and the U.N.; and 3) globalization - the US-led effort to establish a new global regime based on free trade, deregulation, and privatization.

ISBN: 9780415951777 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Is global democracy possible? The most prominent institutional manifestations of this concept-the UN, WTO, IMF and World Bank-have been skewered as cloistered anti-democratic institutions by anti-globalization activists.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) < P> < P> < EM> The Netherlands< /EM> will be the first concise, authored introduction available on the topic. The Netherlands has been a key entrepot in the world capitalist system for centuries, but because of relatively recent demographic changes, it has become symbolic of the clash of European and Islamic cultures. Perhaps the most secular nation in the world, it now houses a very large Islamic population. That population is the fruit of globalization, and how the Dutch have responded to this broad cultural shift tells us a great deal about the changing nature of...

ISBN: 9780520241251 / Angielski / Miękka / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Globalization defines our era. While it has created a great deal of debate in economic, policy, and grassroots circles, many aspects of the phenomenon remain virtual terra incognita. Education is at the heart of this continent of the unknown. This pathbreaking book examines how globalization and large-scale immigration are affecting children and youth, both in and out of schools. Taking into consideration broad historical, cultural, technological, and demographic changes, the contributors--all leading social scientists in their fields--suggest that these global transformations will require...

Globalization and State Transformation in China
ISBN: 9780521537506 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Globalization has created challenges and opportunities which all countries have to grapple with. Yongnian Zheng explores how China's leaders have embraced global capitalism and market-oriented modernization by encouraging individual enterprise and the reform of economic institutions. While open to importing Western ideas in rebuilding the economic system, the same leaders have been reluctant to import Western concepts of democracy and the rule of law. Zheng argues that, ultimately, this selectivity will impede China's progress in becoming a modern nation state.

Territoriality and Conflict in an Era of Globalization
ISBN: 9780521675031 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Predictions that globalization would undermine territorial attachments and weaken the sources of territorial conflict have not been realized in recent decades. Globalization may have produced changes in territoriality and the functions of borders, but it has not eliminated them. The contributors to this volume examine this relationship, arguing that much of the change can be attributed to sources other than economic globalization. Bringing the perspectives of law, political science, anthropology, and geography to bear on the complex causal relations among territoriality, conflict, and...

ISBN: 9780521682084 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 2004 the European Union and NATO each added ten new member states, most from the post-communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. In order to qualify for membership, these countries had to make a myriad of changes. They often emulated practices common in Western Europe, sometimes resulting in more effective and efficient institutions, sometimes resulting in failures. Wade Jacoby examines the trends in various fields and in several countries.

The Open Economy and its Enemies
ISBN: 9780521682558 / Angielski / Miękka / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) There is a vigorous debate about the merits of globalisation for developing countries. Based on numerous focus-group discussions and over 10,000 interviews, this book studies economic and cultural openness from the perspective of the public in four developing or 'transitional' countries: Vietnam, (South) Korea, the Czech Republic and Ukraine (both before and after the Orange Revolution). It finds many supporters of opening up, but also many who are discontented with its downsides and who expect states to tackle the exploitation and unfairness that accompany it. Among the most fervent enemies...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this 2006 book, Jonas Tallberg offers a novel perspective on some of the most fundamental questions about international cooperation and European Union politics.
