Markowitz, "State Erosion: Unlootable Resources and Unruly Elites in Central Asia" English | 2013 | ISBN: 0801451876 | PDF | pages: 215 | 2.0 mb State failure is a central challenge to international peace and security in the post-Cold War era. Yet theorizing on the causes of state failure remains surprisingly limited. In State Erosion, Lawrence P. Markowitz draws on his extensive fieldwork in two Central Asian republics―Tajikistan, where state institutions fragmented into a five-year civil war from 1992 through 1997, and Uzbekistan, which constructed one of the largest state security apparatuses in post-Soviet Eurasia―to advance a theory of state failure focused on unlootable resources, rent seeking, and unruly elites.In Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and other countries with low capital mobility―where resources cannot be extracted, concealed, or transported to market without state intervention―local elites may control resources, but they depend on patrons to convert their resources into rents. Markowitz argues that different rent-seeking opportunities either promote the cooptation of local elites to the regime or incite competition over rents, which in turn lead to either cohesion or fragmentation. Markowitz distinguishes between weak states and failed states, challenges the assumption that state failure in a country begins at the center and radiates outward, and expands the "resource curse" argument to include cash crop economies, where mechanisms of state failure differ from those involved in fossil fuels and minerals. Broadening his argument to weak states in the Middle East (Syria and Lebanon) and Africa (Zimbabwe and Somalia), Markowitz shows how the distinct patterns of state failure in weak states with immobile capital can inform our understanding of regime change, ethnic violence, and security sector reform.

McGavin, Chris Gibson, Neil Fletcher, "RSPB Wildlife of Britain" English | 2008 | ISBN: 1405329327 | PDF | pages: 514 | 165.2 mb [center]  Gladys Ganiel, Heidemarie Winkel, Christophe Monnot, "Religion in Times of Crisis" English | 2014 | ISBN: 9004277781 | PDF | pages: 204 | 0.7 mb Religion is alive and well all over the world, especially in times of personal, political, and social crisis. Even in Europe, long regarded the most "secular" continent, religion has taken centre stage in how people respond to the crises associated with modernity, or how they interact with the nation-state. In this book, scholars working in and on Europe offer fresh perspectives on how religion provides answers to existential crisis, how crisis increases the salience of religious identities and cultural polarization, and how religion is contributing to changes in the modern world in Europe and beyond. Cases from Poland to Pakistan and from Ireland to Zimbabwe, among others, demonstrate the complexity and ambivalence of religion's role in the contemporary world.  Re-designing the smart future: How new technologies are transforming businesses and the 2020 world we live in by André Telles English | July 16, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08D9PGMCY | 152 pages | EPUB | 2.86 Mb The future has always intrigued us, packed with various fictions that since childhood gives us a repertoire to imagine this future as uncertain. Well, not so uncertain. The technology has provided a faster advance and, in many cases, things that seemed restricted to movie screens and cartoons are now available. While many fears a possible domination of machines upon humanity, many others say that technology will provide a leap in people's quality of life. The fact is that we have many uncertainties, but technology has already transformed our lives. In Re-Designing The Smart Future, Andrй Telles introduces us to the smart world as a result of a long journey in which knowledge and coexistence made this reality possible, pointing out perspectives based on this process. Clearly and objectively, the book not only reveals this knowledge but also conceptualizes the theme, contextualizes the concepts, and makes them accessible to an audience increasingly interested in technology and innovation. |
