Field, "Spain's 'Second Transition'?: The Socialist Government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415518652, 0415550521 | EPUB | pages: 174 | 0.9 mb Few would have imagined the developments and the extent of reforms that occurred under Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero between 2004 and 2008. Under Zapatero, Spain rapidly withdrew Spanish troops from Iraq, held a very public political debate on the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, passed very progressive social legislation that included gay marriage and adoption as well as a sweeping gender equality act, and expanded autonomy in six of Spain's 17 regions. It has become quite common to refer to some or all of these developments as a 'second transition' that alters or revisits policies, institutional arrangements and political strategies that were established during Spain's transition to democracy.  Free Download Chris Rudd, Robert G. Patman, "Sovereignty under Siege?: Globalization and New Zealand" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0754630641, 1138277525 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 0.7 mb This collection of invaluable essays explores, analyzes and critically evaluates the interaction between globalization and New Zealand sovereignty. The volume is the first to seriously address this subject in a systematic fashion. It pursues three interrelated lines of enquiry: the impact of globalization on the policy making machinery of the New Zealand state; the development of New Zealand political culture, including its sense of national identity; during the globalization era; and New Zealand's role on the international stage in a globalizing world. The book reveals the paradoxes of New Zealand's encounter with globalization. It will provide essential reading for specialists of globalization and for general readers interested in the complex national experience of New Zealand.  Free Download Linda Basile, Oscar Mazzoleni, "Sovereignism and Populism: Citizens, Voters and Parties in Western European Democracies" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1032148144, 1032148152 | EPUB | pages: 122 | 1.0 mb At a time when populism and appeal for national and popular sovereignty are on the rise - in Europe, the USA, and beyond - this volume proposes a new research agenda in political science that focuses on the linkages between populist and sovereignism in Europe.  Free Download Brian Sewell, "South From Ephesus: Travels Through Aegean Turkey" English | 2012 | ISBN: 1780761201 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 3.8 mb Weary of what he called the "tyranny" of western art, Brian Sewell first visited Turkey―a country that had captivated him since he was a boy―in 1975. He thought that there, anything he found would have no relevance to the European art that he had so compulsively "stitched in to the dense fabric of my art-historical memory" and that he could therefore enjoy the art for its own sake. But Turkey surprised him, and he delighted in the unexpected wealth of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic cultures there, returning three of four times a year until 1990. The bulk of this book focuses on his journey from Ephesus to Side one winter. With typically acerbic commentary, Sewell describes (not always favorably) the archaeological and historical sites he comes across, the landscapes that so clearly thrill him, the encounters he has along the way, and the fractious, though wonderfully funny, relationship he forms with Ayhan, his driver. This is a book that could only have been written by Sewell and has become a quirky classic of travel literature.  Free Download Kanti P Bajpai, Stephen P Cohen, "South Asia After The Cold War: International Perspectives" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367303426 | EPUB | pages: 280 | 1.1 mb South Asia is a region of one billion people, divided into seven states and numerous religious, caste, ethnic, and linguistic groups. It is the site of ethnic and religious violence that is transnational in its implications; the region has been host to four major wars and several war scares, most recently the India-Pakistan crisis over Kashmir in 1  Free Download Richard E Bissell, Chester A. Crocker, "South Africa Into The 1980s" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367303396 | EPUB | pages: 270 | 0.9 mb The question of South Africa's future has become a paramount issue in global politics. This book examines the position of South Africa as it faces the 1980s―its strengths, its weaknesses, and the probable influences of other states on South Africa in the years to come. The authors share a common interest in an analytical approach to a topic often argued with more emotion than rationality. They discuss South Africa's internal situation, with particular emphasis on the interests and aspirations of the political parties competing for power; then they focus on external realities, looking at the country's ability to project influence abroad as well as the power of others to affect events within it. In sum, they highlight crucial trends shaping South Africa's current and future development.  Free Download Mark S. Anner, "Solidarity Transformed: Labor Responses to Globalization and Crisis in Latin America" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0801449596, 0801476739 | EPUB | pages: 248 | 0.7 mb Mark S. Anner spent ten years working with labor unions in Latin America and returned to conduct eighteen months of field research: he found himself in the middle of violent raids, was detained and interrogated in a Salvadoran basement prison cell, and survived a bombing in a union cafeteria. This experience as a participant observer informs and enlivens Solidarity Transformed, an illustrative, nuanced, and insightful account of how labor unions in Latin American are developing new strategies to defend the interests of the workers they represent in dynamic global and local contexts. Anner combines in-depth case studies of the auto and apparel industries in El Salvador, Honduras, Brazil, and Argentina with survey analysis. Altogether, he documents approximately seventy labor campaigns―both successful and failed―over a period of twenty years.  Free Download Zygmunt Bauman, "Socialism the Active Utopia" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0415571634, 0415573084 | EPUB | pages: 154 | 0.4 mb Rather than contributing to the long-standing discussion about the characteristics of the society that socialism proposes to establish, this Routledge Revival, initially published in 1976, aims to explore the impact of the 'living utopia' of socialism on the development of modern society.  Free Download A. B. Atkinson, J. A. G. Griffith, "Socialism in a Cold Climate" English | 2010 | ISBN: 004335050X, 0415599938, 0415598184 | EPUB | pages: 238 | 0.5 mb First published in 1983, this important and stimulating book is a thoughtful contribution to the debate about the first steps that needed to be taken to build a socialist society in the 1980s. It covers topics as diverse as concepts of equality and fairness, sexual discrimination, economic policy, health and urban policy, pensions, poverty and the economics of the welfare state, defence and internationalism.  Free Download Steven Philip Kramer, "Socialism In Western Europe: The Experience Of A Generation" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0865318611, 0367287730 | EPUB | pages: 220 | 0.3 mb This is a book about what it meant to be a socialist in Western Europe for the generation which came to maturity after World War I. It attempts to capture the subjective aspect of the socialist experience through interviews conducted with socialist leaders who held a significant place in the movement from the 1930s on. |
