Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. With China on the minds of many in Latin America - from politicians and union leaders to people on the street, from business students to senior bankers - a number of important questions arise. Why, for example, is China so rapidly expanding its ties with the region? What is the nature of the new connection, and how will it affect institutions, economic structures, politics, and society? R. Evan Ellis provides a comprehensive look at the character and impact of the developing PRC - Latin America relationship.Ellis examines how the relationship has taken on distinct characteristics in various subregions, considering the role of supplier-and-market countries such as Argentina and Brazil, China's cautious dance with populism as it seeks access to Andean oil, and the dominance of the Taiwan issue in China's dealings with Central America and the Caribbean. He also addresses the unique case of Cuba. Not least, his work sheds light on the implications of the China - Latin America relationship for conventional wisdom regarding globalization, development, and the links between economics and politics.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Why have some countries succeeded at the task of economic development, while others have failed dismally? Designed to address this question - to explain the persistence and even widening of the gap between both rich and poor countries, and rich and poor within poor countries - this anthology draws upon classic as well as current literature. Students should find conventional explanations based on theories of modernisation and culture, revisionist explanations focusing on dependency and world-systems analysis, and the most recent literature on rent-seeking, markets and states. Empirical evidence evaluates the success of the contending theories presented; case studies are also included. The final chapter draws conclusions about where development theory has been and where it is going. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Buch
Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Michael Sheehan provides a masterly survey of the varied positions that scholars have adopted in interpreting security, one of the most contested terms in international relations, and asks whether a synthesis is possible that both widens and deepens our understanding of the concept. Sheehan begins by outlining the classical realist approach of Morgenthau and Carr and the ideas of their neorealist heirs. He then explores how the economic security approach embraces both defense economics and human security from poverty and hunger; and how environmental security links environment and security in a fundamental challenge to the international political hierarchy. Next, tackling the various postpositivist perspectives on security, all of which stem from worldviews fundamentally different from that of realism, he explains the range of feminist thought on security, the ideas of the critical security school, and the main concerns of postmodern security theory. In conclusion, revealing his own interpretation of security, he makes the case for a postpositivist conception that links human emancipation, justice, and peace. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How and why do women's contributions matter in peace and security processes? Why should women's activities in this sphere be explored separately from peacebuilding efforts in general? Decisively answering these questions, Sanam Anderlini offers a comprehensive, cross-regional analysis of women's peacebuilding initiatives around the world. Anderlini also traces the evolution of international policies in this arena and highlights the endemic problems that stunt progress. Her astute analysis, based on extensive research and field experience, demonstrates how gender sensitivity in programming can be a catalytic component in the complex task of building sustainable peace and provides concrete examples of how to draw on women's untapped potential. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
