Vietnam in the Global Economy: The Dynamics of Integration, Decentralization, and Contested Politics
ISBN: 9780739177860 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Westerners seem united in the belief that China has emerged as a major economic power and that this success will most likely continue indefinitely. But they are less certain about the future of China's political system. China's steps toward free market capitalism have led many outsiders to expect increased democratization and a more Western political system. The Chinese, however, have developed their own version of capitalism. Westerners view Chinese politics through the lens of their own ideologies, preventing them from understanding Chinese goals and policies. In Contemporary...

The Rise of Ethnic Politics in Nepal: Democracy in the Margins
ISBN: 9780415502085 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
