The modern bias towards democracy has become fundamental, or to put it differently,...

Governmentality and Counter-Hegemony in Bangladesh
ISBN: 9781137537140 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Each of these phases, the author argues, is not a replacement or dislocation of the earlier governmentality in practice but rather a reformulation of the...
