The EU experience is a successful example of integrating national economies, but how far should those promoting regional...

ISBN: 9780881322453 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Europe's monetary union will represent the most profound transformation of the international monetary system since the transition from fixed to flexible exchange rates in the early 1970s.

Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) will create in Europe a new monetary actor with an economic size roughly comparable to the United States, ushering in a new era in international...

At the WTO, successive conflicts demonstrate deeper shortcomings in governance as membership expands rapidly and consensus decision making fails. Protracted efforts to choose new heads of these increasingly important...

A Strategy for IMF Reform
ISBN: 9780881323986 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is in eclipse as the preeminent institution promoting international economic and financial stability. Successful reform of the IMF must engage the full spectrum of its members. The IMF should not focus primarily on its low-income members and the challenges of global poverty nor should it focus exclusively on international financial crises affecting a small group of vulnerable emerging-market economies. Instead, it must be engaged with each of its members potentially on the full range of their economic and financial policies and play a central role in...

Legitimating the European Union: Aspirations, Inputs and Performance
ISBN: 9781403921086 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legitimating the European Union focuses on the notions of political legitimacy in the European Union. Since the early 1970s the EU has never been perceived to be as legitimate as it needed to be. Legitimizing factors, such as the elections to the European Parliament or increasing European Parliament powers have always lagged behind popular perceptions of what was needed at the time. Mather proposes that the EU suffers from a 'legitimacy deficit' and that this deficit matters (assuming the EU does not propose to be a dictatorship). The book links legitimacy theory to the way in which...

Kenya: The Struggle for Democracy
ISBN: 9781842778579 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The path towards democracy in Kenya has been long and often tortuous. Though it has been trumpeted as a goal for decades, democratic government has never been fully realised, largely as a result of the authoritarian excesses of the Kenyatta, Moi and Kibaki regimes.
This uniquely comprehensive study of Kenya's political trajectory shows how the struggle for democracy has been waged in civil society, through opposition parties, and amongst traditionally marginalised groups like women and the young. It also considers the remaining impediments to democratisation, in the form of a powerful... The path towards democracy in Kenya has been long and often tortuous.
