A Suitable Amount of Crime
ISBN: 9780415336109 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crime and punishment are social and cultural manifestations; they are closely bound up with people's perceptions of morality, norms and values.

It should not be forgotten that there are alternatives, both in the definition of crime, and in responses to it. A Suitable Amount of Crime looks at the great variations between countries over what are considered 'unwanted acts', how many are constructed as criminal...

This book examines different levels of narcotics control cooperation between the United States, Mexico and Colombia. Victor J.

He also explores the role of domestic terrorism and presidential reputation in Colombia for the US-Colombia pair and the role of competing issues in the US-Mexican bilateral agenda for that...

In this study, Nyla Ali Khan focuses on the representation of South Asian life in works by four contemporary Anglophone writers: V. S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, and Anita Desai.

Striving and Surviving: A Daily Life Analysis of Honduran Transnational Families
ISBN: 9780415975933 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sociologists and anthropologists have focused considerable attention on contemporary transnational flows of capital, labour and culture, as well as on the ways in which communities create and maintain transnational ties. However very few have studied the specific role of the family in transnational processes and fewer still have looked at how families actually function in transnational space. In this book, Schmalzbauer addresses this gap in the literature by investigating how transnationalism works as a survival strategy in which families use the difference in living costs between Honduras...

Critical Social Theory in Public Administration
ISBN: 9780765615541 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essential premise of critical social theory is that contemporary society is neither democratic nor free, but that modern global capitalism creates a citizenry satiated with consumer goods, unaware of alternative ways of living. In the public sector, critical theory suggests that governing systems are influenced, if not controlled, by the wealthy and powerful, leaving public professionals to decide whether to serve those interests or the interests of a broader public. This book provides a framework for the application of critical social theory in public administration. Its goal is to...
