Free Download Lisa Herzog, "Politics and the Economy " English | ISBN: 1009592467 | 2025 | 75 pages | PDF | 1460 KB In today's societies, political and economic issues are closely intertwined, and political philosophy has turned more and more to economic issues. This Element introduces some key questions of economic philosophy: How to think about the relation between political and economic power? Can markets be 'tamed'? Which values are embedded in the economy and how do those relate to political values? It answers these questions by considering arguments from three theoretical perspectives - liberal egalitarian approaches, neorepublicanism, and critical theory or socialist thought - explaining their different background assumptions but also shared grounds. To illustrate these topics, it zooms in on the future of work: How could work be made more just, democratic, and sustainable? In the conclusion, some implications for research strategies in economic philosophy are explored.  Free Download Ning Leng, "Politicizing Business" English | ISBN: 1009662309 | 2025 | 228 pages | PDF | 1511 KB The Chinese state has never granted businesses full autonomy, even amid efforts to establish market-supporting institutions. Instead, the state and its officials view business as primarily political actors, demanding political services from firms to advance political objectives. Politicizing Business demonstrates that the politicization of firms is rooted in authoritarianism, often harming business interests and undermining China's efforts to attract and retain investment. Explaining the seemingly arbitrary state takeover of sectors and firms, this book uncovers previously overlooked forms of politicization and demonstrates how politicizing business often creates conflicts between the state and firms, particularly private firms, leading to a state-dominated market in many sectors. Combining academic rigor with exceptionally rich data and analysis, including hundreds of in-depth interviews with government officials and business leaders, original datasets and case studies, Politicizing Business offers fresh insights into China's political economy model and explores what the Party-state demands from companies, how compliance is enforced, when and where firms are politicized, and its impact on China's development.  Free Download Alan Haworth, "Political Philosophy After 1945" English | ISBN: 1138084700 | 2022 | 162 pages | PDF | 4 MB By the mid-twentieth century interest in political philosophy had dwindled, with one writer even pronouncing the subject 'dead'. Things were to change in 1971, when the subject experienced a renaissance with the publication of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice. The story didn't end with Rawls however, as other avenues through which to approach the subject became available.  Free Download Brian Kogelmann, "Political Meritocracy in the 21st Century " English | ISBN: 1009605844 | 2025 | 75 pages | PDF | 1445 KB Political meritocrats believe political power should be allocated according to virtue and competence. It is an old idea, going back at least to Plato. But what is old is new again, as several political philosophers have recently proposed and defended novel articulations of this ancient idea. The purpose of this short monograph is to offer a critical overview of this literature. I cover three schools of thought. I first look at epistocracy, a form of government identical to modern liberal democracies, except voting power is allocated to citizens according to competence. I then turn to Confucian meritocracy, where more blatantly nondemocratic forms of political meritocracy are defended. I finally look at democratic meritocracy, which is the idea that elections either do or could (if they were appropriately reformed) select virtuous and competent leaders. I end by offering reasons to think the entire enterprise of political meritocracy rests on a mistake.  Free Download Isaiah Berlin, "Political Ideas in the Romantic Age: Their Rise and Influence on Modern Thought - Updated Edition" English | ISBN: 0691158444 | 2014 | 504 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB This new edition features the previously unpublished delivery text of Berlin's inaugural lecture as a professor at Oxford, which derives from this volume and stands as the briefest and most pithy version of his famous essay "Two Concepts of Liberty.?  Free Download Velayutham Saravanan, "Political Economy of Development and Environment in Modern India" English | ISBN: 1032376953 | 2023 | 186 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book captures the complexities of both development and environment, from the political economy point of view, to offer a broad economic and environmental history of post-independence India. It analyses the various components of constitutional provisions, policies, programmes and ecology protection measures during the post-independence period, that is, 1947-2020. The author also investigates India's land and forest policies of the 21st century: Fair Compensation of Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2006, which pose a great threat to ecology and the environment. The volume argues how, on one hand, the development agenda has undermined the environmental components for the first three decades of independence and, on the other hand, how the popular vote bank politics further has aggravated the issues related to environment in India.  Free Download Ben Bowling, "Policing the Caribbean: Transnational Security Cooperation in Practice " English | ISBN: 0199577692 | 2010 | 378 pages | PDF | 2 MB Policing the Caribbean explores the emergence of law enforcement and security practices that extend beyond the boundaries of the nation state. Perceptions of public safety and national sovereignty are shifting in the face of domestic, regional and global insecurity, and with the emergence of transnational policing practices responding to drug trafficking and organised crime. This book examines how security threats are prioritised and the strategies that are put in place to respond to them, based on a detailed empirical case study of police and security sector organizations in the Caribbean.  Free Download Jo Turner, "Policing Women " English | ISBN: 0367558173 | 2023 | 288 pages | EPUB | 781 KB Policing Women examines for the first time the changing historical landscape of women's experiences of their contact with the official state police between 1800 and 1950 in the Western world.  Free Download Elliot C Mason, "Poetics of Value: The Primacy of Insurgency as Marxist Methodology " English | ISBN: 9004746471 | 2025 | 276 pages | PDF | 3 MB Throughout value-form theory, the present is understood as a homogenising form of subsumption, determining all lives in its commodification of time. In Poetics of Value, Elliot C. Mason employs the 'fugitive' imaginary of black studies to locate other temporalities that antagonise the present. Through close readings of four contemporary poets, Mason finds an exposure to social temporalities that exceed the productive time of value. Poetics of Value proposes the survival of fugitive temporalities as a methodology for Marxism, exceeding the temporal forms of both value and its Marxist criticism.  Free Download Andro G.
