ISBN: 9780190649197 / Angielski / Twarda / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For years, scholars hypothesized about what Islamists might do if they ever came to power.

However, while environmental issues have been very important to North Korea, academic analysis and commentary addressing this field of governmental and institutional functionality has been almost entirely lacking. This book fills this analytical void....

State of Exchange: Migrant NGOs and the Chinese Government
ISBN: 9780774833646 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Despite the authoritarian nature of the Chinese state, non-governmental organizations have increased dramatically since the 1970s. With labourers m... |
