ISBN: 9781421412771 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Just what exactly will follow the American century? This is the question Randall L. Schweller explores in his provocative assessment of international politics in the twenty-first century.

Western Aid at a Crossroads: The End of Paternalism
ISBN: 9781137380319 / Angielski / Twarda / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A major realignment is going on in the world economy, one that fundamentally changes the basis for Western aid. Over time, Western Aid has become more complex, more paternalistic, and less useful to poor countries committed to poverty alleviation. Once a helping hand to other countries' development, it has transformed into a tool for the large-scale transformation of states and societies according to Western models. Aid can accelerate the fight against poverty, but only if Western donors are willing to reconsider their own role in development and in reinventing the concept. If not, poor...

ISBN: 9780415737159 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The authors show how the current phase of globalization is destabilizing the dominance of Western democracy promotion as...

External Intervention and the Politics of State Formation: China, Indonesia, and Thailand, 1893-1952
ISBN: 9781107679788 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores ways in which foreign intervention and external rivalries can affect the institutionalization of governance in weak states. When sufficiently competitive, foreign rivalries in a weak state can actually foster the political centralization, territoriality, and autonomy associated with state sovereignty. This counterintuitive finding comes from studying the collective effects of foreign contestation over a weak state as informed by changes in the expected opportunity cost of intervention for outside actors. When interveners associate high opportunity costs with intervention,...

Moving beyond the stale liberal-realist debate, Economic Interdependence and War lays out a dynamic theory of expectations that shows under what specific conditions interstate commerce will reduce or heighten the risk of conflict between nations. Taking a broad look at cases spanning two... Does growing economic interdependence among great powers increase or decrease the chance of conflict and war? Liberals argue that the benefits of t... |
