Lessons from Iraq: Avoiding the Next War
ISBN: 9781594514982 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Preventing Genocide: Practical Steps Toward Early Detection and Effective Action
ISBN: 9781594515576 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Genocide has been called 'a problem from hell' and despite vehement declarations of 'never again' it's a problem that continues to plague the world. From the beginning of history to the most recent massacres in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur, genocide defies resolution. And given today's worldwide access to highly lethal weapons and advanced communications technology facilitating incitement to hate, we can expect to see this problem grow. It is often claimed that genocide occurs without warning, taking both local and global communities by surprise. Yet, as David Hamburg convincingly shows, we...

Gender and Macroeconomic Policy
ISBN: 9780821374344 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mainstream economic analysis has traditionally overlooked gender. The individual--the basic category of analysis--was regarded as genderless. Neither gender discrimination nor segmentation and segregation within the labor market or within the household was present. Contributions from development theory, new household economics (NHE), labor economics, and feminist analysis have done much to change this. Focusing on gender equality--by which we mean equality in opportunity, inputs, and outcome--has yielded important insights for the growth and development of an economy. But we are still at the...
