Geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific: Emerging Conflicts, New Alliances, focuses on a region that has in recent years become of vital interest to the super-powers. Dr Bolton contends that the perceptions that are common in regard to Sino-Russian accord and Sino-American animosity are erroneous, and that present alliances will collapse in the face of environmental crises, in particular a scramble for the control of water resources. The role of China's domination of Tibet is of particular interest. The economic interests of China and the USA are shown to be symbiotic and part of a long-term strategy...

Corporate Responses to EU Emissions Trading: Resistance, Innovation or Responsibility?
ISBN: 9781409460787 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The European Union (EU) aims to put Europe on track toward a low-carbon economy. In this striking challenge, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has been singled out as the Union s key climate policy instrument, ultimately aimed as a model for a global carbon market. The learning effect of the EU ETS could thus be tremendous. This study explores how the EU ETS actually works on the ground, affecting corporate climate strategies. It covers general sector responses as well as systematic comparative studies of companies across the sectors. The latter enables improved understanding of causal...

The Politics of Conflict : Transubstantiatory Violence in Iraq
ISBN: 9780773543607 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By looking at the problem of complicity in political violence from a social versus a legal perspective, The Politics of Conflict offers readers new insight into the ways in which violence operates. To do this, Monica Ingber applies Gilles Deleuze's analysis of the novellas of Leopold Sacher-Masoch, particularly Venus in Furs, to the politics of violence in Iraq. Specifically, Ingber develops the concept of transubstantiatory violence, to think through the relationship between social complicity and political violence. By assessing politics in Iraq through the lens of transubstantiatory...

Drug War Capitalism
ISBN: 9781849351935 / Angielski / Miękka / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though pillage, profit, and plunder have been a mainstay of war since pre-colonial times, there is little contemporary focus on the role of finance and economics in today's "Drug Wars"despite the fact that they boost US banks and fill prisons with poor people. They feed political campaigns, increase the arms trade, and function as long-term fixes to capitalism's woes, cracking open new territories to privatization and foreign direct investment. Combining on-the-ground reporting with extensive research, Dawn Paley moves beyond the usual horror stories, beyond journalistic rubbernecking...

Geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific
ISBN: 9789383649099 / Angielski / Mikrofilm / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, the descriptive term 'Indo-Pacific' has entered the geo-strategic lexicon as a substitute for the more established expression 'Asia-Pacific'. Defined as an integrated strategic system that best captures the shift in power and influence from the West to the East, the concept has dominated strategic debates and discussions, gaining rapidly in currency and acceptance. Popular though the term has become, its strategic context and underlying logic are still sharply contested. While proponents of the 'Indo-Pacific' advance compelling arguments in its favour, the debate over whether...

Peron and Peronism

Peron and Peronism, is unique, especially among English language books, insofar as it is not so much a biography of the remarkable Argentine president, but an explanation of Peronism in theory and practice. While the lives of Juan, and especially Eva, Peron are relatively easy to access, seldom is it that a biography of the Perons, or even a scholarly history of Argentina, details the doctrine of Justicialism. In Peron and Peronism, Bolton draws on primary documents and speeches to define the Peronist doctrine that has moved the hearts and minds of the majority of Argentines for generations....

The Dynamic of Revolution in South Africa
ISBN: 9780902869387 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The writings and speeches of I.B.Tabata clearly demonstrate that there was an alternative to the programme and policies adopted by the ANC in the struggle against the racist regime in South Africa. In a letter to his young kinsman, Nelson Mandela, Tabata contrasted the programme and method of struggle of the Unity Movement of South Africa, a political organisation of which he was one of the founders, to those of the ANC. Covering a period of almost 30 years, beginning in the early 1940's, Tabata's writings and speeches presented a powerful challenge to the ideology of apartheid over a crucial...
