ISBN: 9780415702966 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Since the 1990s, questions of Japanese wartime conduct, apologies for aggression, and compensation to former victims of the country's imperial policies, have been brought to the fore of national and regional politics. The state is undoubtedly the most important actor in the process of memory production and along with conservative legislators and the grass-root revisionist movement there has been a consistent trend towards denying or undermining the existing acknowledgments of responsibility for Japan's wartime past. However, to fully comprehend war memory in Japan, due attention must be...

The China Model and Global Political Economy: Comparison, Impact, and Interaction
ISBN: 9780415717960 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the beginning of China's phenomenal rise in the international system, our knowledge of the country has grown rapidly. But those who have debated the China issue in policy circles mostly focus on the implications of China's rise, often without a firm understanding of why the country is rising in the first place. Using an analytical framework which links China's domestic political economy order and the global system, this book helps us to understand China's rise and the China model more clearly. Indeed, unlike most other works that study the China model as a domestic political economy...

ISBN: 9780415728379 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In many Western countries, social welfare payments are increasingly being made conditional on recipients doing voluntary work or attending job training courses, a system known as "welfare-to-work" or "workfare."

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of how welfare reform around work is implemented in leading...
