Peacekeeping in Africa
ISBN: 9780333694480 / Angielski / Twarda / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the departure of the Soviet and Cubans from Southern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa no longer comprises a part of the West's core strategic interest. America's experience in Somalia illustrated the folly of addressing with force what was essentially a humanitarian problem derived from the utter failure of the economic development of the third world. The human tragedy in Rwanda highlighted the seemingly interminable demands for external aid. And Liberia has depicted the gruesome realities of human failure in the only African land with at least historic (but non-colonial) ties to the US. This...

Liberals Against Apartheid: A History of the Liberal Party of South Africa, 1953-68
ISBN: 9780333713556 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Liberal Party of South Africa was founded in 1953 to promote nonracial democratic liberalism in opposition to white supremacist apartheid.

Despite forced dissolution in 1968, the Liberals' ideas have triumphed over those of left and right in the 'new South Africa'.

ISBN: 9780333665930 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. South Africa's 1994 election was widely hailed around the world as miraculous.

He attacks the myth that democracy ended apartheid, and shows that democratic practices themselves contributed to its evils. The author also explores weaknesses in political science as a discipline. This book will be essential reading for...

The Catholic Church and Politics in Nicaragua and Costa Rica
ISBN: 9780333471289 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unlike most recent studies of the Catholic Church in Latin America, Philip Williams' book sets out ot analyse the Church in two very dissimilar political contexts - Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Despite the obvious differences, Williams argues that in both cases the Church has responded to social change in a remarkably similar fashion. The efforts of progressive clergy to promote change in both countries has been largely blocked in both hierarchs, fearful that such change will threaten the Church's influence in society. Based on extensive first-hand research, this book is a welcome contribution...

ISBN: 9780333716434 / Angielski / Twarda / 381 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The authors take a scalpel to South Africa's system of criminal justice during the Apartheid era.

In this groundbreaking work, the Nobel Peace Prize-winner and founder of the Green Belt Movement offers a new perspective on the troubles facing Africa today.

Godwin bears witness to the torture bases, the burning villages, the opposition leaders in hiding, the last white farmers, and the churchmen and diplomats putting their own lives on the line to stop the carnage. Told with a brilliant... In 2008, memoirist and journalist Peter Godwin secretly returned to his native Zimbabwe after its notoriously tyrannical leader, Robert Mugabe, lost a...

ISBN: 9781442226852 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ongoing conflict in Western Sahara is one of the more intractable legacies of European colonization in North Africa.

Ideology and Elite Conflicts: Autopsy of the Ethiopian Revolution
ISBN: 9780739137963 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book provides a theoretical explanation of the major outcomes of Ethiopia's social revolution, namely, the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974 and the implementation of a far-reaching Marxist-Leninist revolution by a military committee (the Derg) and its collapse in 1991. The book extensively discusses the question of knowing whether existing theories of revolution throw light on the eruption of a radical revolution in Ethiopia and, most of all, whether they can accommodate the major anomaly of a socialist revolution being executed by a military committee that radicalized after...
