Globalization and Armed Conflict
ISBN: 9780742518322 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Globalization and Armed Conflict addresses one of the most important and controversial issues of our time: Does global economic integration foster or suppress violent disputes within and between states? Here, cutting-edge research by leading figures in international relations shows that expanding commercial ties between states pacifies some, but not necessarily all, political relationships. The authors demonstrate that the pacific effect of economic integration hinges on democratic structures, the size of the global system, the nature of the trade goods, and a reduced influence of the...

Rethinking Globalism
ISBN: 9780742525450 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) What is the hottest American export since 9/11? The contributors to this provocative volume contend that it is Western style globalism-the dominant free market ideology that determines everything from most-favored-nation status to the declaration of war. In this much-needed post-September 11 analysis, an interdisciplinary team of authors shows how central concepts like globalization, liberty, free markets, and free trade are increasingly being subordinated to and lumped together with the war on terrorism led by the U.S. and its allies. The authors here-hailing from all five...

Deadly Worlds: The Emotional Costs of Globalization
ISBN: 9780742542396 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Deadly Worlds offers an original analysis of one of the unsolved questions of the current age: what are the emotional costs and possibilities of globalization? Lemert and Elliott challenge the dominant interpretations of the late modern world by delving below the surface of cultural and economic theories to explore theories of the new individualism. Against European ideas that the individual is either a manipulated artifact of mass culture or a reflexive self facing global risks, they pose the possibility that the new worlds are actually deadly. Against the American tradition of viewing the...

Global Activism, Global Media
ISBN: 9780745321950 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Radical political activist movements are growing all the time. To reach a wider audience each organisation has formed networks and websites, exploiting new communications technologies as well as conventional media to get its message across. This is often very successful: activist politics have come to influence 'mainstream' politics over fundamental issues such as trade, gender relations, the environment and war. This book brings together activists and academics in one volume, to explore the theory and practice of global activism's relation to all forms of media, mainstream and otherwise. The...

Global Matrix: Nationalism, Globalism and State-Terrorism
ISBN: 9780745322902 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Globalization has brought with it many difficult and contradictory phenomena: violence, deep national insecurities, religious divisions and individual insecurities. This book takes a critical look at three key areas - globalism, nationalism, and state-terror - to confront common mythologies and identify the root causes of the problems we face. Too many commentators still argue that globalization is predominantly a neo-liberal economic phenomenon; that nation-states are on the way out, and that terror is something that primarily comes from below. Global Matrix exposes the limitations of this...

Globalization: The Hidden Agenda
ISBN: 9780745617039 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this exciting new book, Dennis Smith argues that we need to look afresh at globalization. So far, he argues, analysts have not properly explained religious extremism, the War on Terror, and the dynamics of fear, anger and resentment.
Against this background, Dennis Smith says that we should understand globalization from an altogether new perspective, one which takes into consideration long-term socio-political development, the dynamics of liberation, and the consequences of humiliation. He claims that if globalization does not change direction, and this hidden agenda is... In this exciting new book, Dennis Smith argues that we need to look afresh at globalization.

Governing Globalization: Power, Authority and Global Governance
ISBN: 9780745627335 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since the UN's creation in 1945 a vast nexus of global and regional institutions has evolved, surrounded by a proliferation of non-governmental agencies and advocacy networks seeking to influence the agenda and direction of international public policy. Although world government remains a fanciful idea, there does exist an evolving global governance complex - embracing states, international institutions, transnational networks and agencies (both public and private) - which functions, with variable effect, to promote, regulate or intervene in the common affairs of humanity.

Global Civil Society: An Answer to War
ISBN: 9780745627571 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The terms global and civil society became the new buzzwords of the 1990s. In this book, Mary Kaldor argues that this is no coincidence and that the reinvention of civil society has to be understood in the context of globalization. The concept of civil society is no longer confined to the borders of the territorial state. The end of the Cold War and global interconnectedness have broken the link between states, civil society and war, and blurred the distinction between a democratic West and a non-democratic East and South. This has opened up new possibilities for political emancipation as well...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The terms 'global' and 'civil society' have both become part of the contemporary political lexicon. In this important new book, Mary Kaldor argues that this is no coincidence and that the reinvention of civil society has to be understood in the context of globalization. The concept of civil society is no longer confined to the borders of the territorial state. Whether one considers dissidents in repressive regimes, landless labourers in Central America, campaigners against land mines or global debt, or even religious fundamentalists, it is now possible for them to link up with other...

Limits to Globalization: Welfare States and the World Economy
ISBN: 9780745628516 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In this exciting new book, Rieger and Leibfried argue persuasively for the need to understand developments in welfare and social provision alongside the processes of globalization. In the two decades following the Second World War, the massive expansion of the welfare state system arguably allowed Western governments to expose their societies to uncontrollable external risks associated with the deregulated global economic environment. The authors contend that the combination of changes in welfare and technological innovation provided the necessary conditions for globalization by limiting some...

Globalization and the New Regionalism: Global Markets, Domestic Politics and Regional Cooperation

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The European Single Market, NAFTA and Mercosur powerfully shape international relations and economic development; they also symbolize a shift in economic policy towards a world market-oriented and liberalizing strategy. Schirm argues that this new regionalism is essentially aresult of the impact of globalization on domestic politics. The increasing transnational mobility of private economic actors alters the costs and benefits of economic policy options for governments as well as the interests of domestic groups. Globalization stimulates economic reforms whose economic efficiency and...
