The original essays, contributed by key thinkers such as Gianni Vattimo and Jean-Luc Nancy, highlight the connection between utopian theory and practice. The book reassesses the legacy of utopia and conceptualizes alternatives to the neo-liberal, technocratic regimes prevalent in...

ISBN: 9781780993652 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the unspoken assumptions of the Western world is that we are great defenders of human rights, a free press and the benefits of market economics.

But the prevailing view is that the West is essentially a force for good in the wider world. Why Are We The Good Guys? is a provocative challenge of this false ideology. David Cromwell digs beneath standard accounts of crucial issues such as foreign policy, climate change and the constant struggle between state-corporate power and...

The Farc: The Longest Insurgency
ISBN: 9781848134928 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To many -- the Colombian, U.S. and the EU governments among them -- the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is no more than a terrorist organization. Moreover, they claim that the FARC is only engaged in criminal activities and no longer maintains an ideology. But does this tell the whole story? Or can terrorism be a strategy for furthering ideological objectives -- irrespective of how the terrorist actions may appear to contradict stated political and ideological beliefs? As the UN's special envoy to Colombia noted in 2003, it would be "a mistake to think that the FARC members are...

When Mohammed Khatami stormed to his 1997 election victory in a landslide result, the world waited anxiously for the reforms and radical changes that he would bring to the Iranian Presidency. By the end of his term in 2005, general disillusion had spread among his supporters. But when in early...

Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese 9. Ausgabe bricht damit, in meinen eigenen Aussagen noch von (realer) Dialektik zu sprechen, wie Marx und Engels das tun, obwohl sie damit nur noch einen Proze und nicht mehr die Hegelsche Form meinen (These > Antithese > Synthese). Dieser Versuch, beides zu verbinden - erkannte ich nun -, war unbewuter Restbestand meiner fruheren, noch rudimentar sowjetideologischen Interpretation. Auch der Begriff: Soziale Evolution sollte heute nicht mehr benutzt werden.1 (siehe...
