Crucible For Survival: Environmental Security and Justice in the Indian Ocean Region

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Spanning a vast, multicontinental area-from Asia to Africa, and including the Middle East and Australia-the Indian Ocean Region represents a diverse and historical network of cultures, economies, and environments. It has been described as the `heart of the Third World` and, in precolonial times, `a crucible for a first global economy.` Today, it is a crucible for global survival. In this collection, Timothy Doyle and Melissa Risely bring together an international group of environmentalists, political scientists, and international relations scholars largely from the region to address key issues vital to determining the human and environmental security of the region. Addressing topics that include agrifood production systems, the geopolitics of water resources along the Mekong River basin, oil production, transportation, waste disposal, and climate change, the contributors highlight the importance of regional collaboration and offer policy and management strategies for cooperative,… [detailed...]

Jason Wittenberg
Crucibles of Political Loyalty: Church Institutions and Electoral Continuity in Hungary (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book investigates one of the oldest paradoxes in political science: why do mass political loyalties persist even amid prolonged social upheaval and disruptive economic development? Drawing on extensive archival research and an original database of election results, this book explores the paradox of political persistence by examining Hungary`s often tortuous path from pre- to post-communism. Wittenberg reframes the theoretical debate, and then demonstrates how despite the many depredations of communism, the Roman Catholic and Calvinist Churches transmitted loyalties to parties of the Right. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Church resistance occurred not from above, but from below. Hemmed in and harassed by communist party cadres, parish priests and pastors employed a variety of ingenious tactics to ensure the continued survival of local church institutions. These institutions insulated their adherents from pressures to assimilate into the surrounding socialist milieu. Ultimately… [detailed...]

Crude Chronicles: Indigenous Politics, Multinational Oil, and Neoliberalism in Ecuador (American Encounters/Global Interactions)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ecuador is the third-largest foreign supplier of crude oil to the western United States. As the source of this oil, the Ecuadorian Amazon has borne the far-reaching social and environmental consequences of a growing U.S. demand for petroleum and the dynamics of economic globalization it necessitates. Crude Chronicles traces the emergence during the 1990s of a highly organized indigenous movement and its struggles against a U.S. oil company and Ecuadorian neoliberal policies. Against the backdrop of mounting government attempts to privatize and liberalize the national economy, Suzana Sawyer shows how neoliberal reforms in Ecuador led to a crisis of governance, accountability, and representation that spurred one of twentieth-century Latin America`s strongest indigenous movements. Through her rich ethnography of indigenous marches, demonstrations, occupations, and negotiations, Sawyer tracks the growing sophistication of indigenous politics as Indians subverted, re-deployed, and, at… [detailed...]

Crude Interventions: The United States, Oil and the New World (Dis) Order

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book, by an independent journalist and academic, shows how US oil policy has repeatedly been linked to gross violations of human rights by US-supported militaries and has bolstered the perception of the US as a rogue nation. Its involvement in Colombia, Indonesia and Iraq has been at least partially driven by the desire to secure access to oil. The Bush administration has made it a priority to consolidate US hegemony over Middle Eastern oil while securing access to alternate sources. Washington has implemented regime change in Iraq and escalated its military role in Colombia`s civil conflict. It has also increased its military presence and political and economic influence in the oil rich regions of Central Asia and West Africa. These areas, already rife with socio-economic inequalities and human rights abuses, are likely to be the settings for new oil wars in the years ahead. The strategic use of the war on terror to protect oil interests raises important new questions… [detailed...]

Crude Politics: The California Oil Market, 1900-1940

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEnergy shortages, climate change, and the debate over national security have thrust oil policy to the forefront of American politics. How did Americans grow so dependent on petroleum, and what can we learn from our history that will help us craft successful policies for the future? In this timely and absorbing book, Paul Sabin challenges us to see politics and law as crucial forces behind the dramatic growth of the U.S. oil market during the twentieth century. Using pre-World War II California as a case study of oil production and consumption, Sabin demonstrates how struggles in the legislature and courts over property rights, regulatory law, and public investment determined the shape of the state`s petroleum landscape. Sabin provides a powerful corrective to the enduring myth of `free markets` by demonstrating how political decisions affected the institutions that underlie California`s oil economy and how the oil market and price structure depend significantly on the… [detailed...]

Cruel Paradise: Life Stories Of Dutch Emigrants

A skilled stylist with an unassuming presence, Hylke Speerstra brings readers along as he circles the globe interviewing transplanted Netherlanders in the United States, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.

Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney`s New World Order

Publisher: —
Description: A mordant and passionate exposA© of the right-wing threat to American democracy and freedom. Read a newspaper or catch the news on television, and you might get the impression that America`s current leadership is `mainstream`: perhaps a bit more conservative and in its foreign policy more belligerent than its predecessors, but still a federal authority that functions within America`s political traditions. But as Mark Crispin Miller argues here with great clarity and effect, we are in fact living in a state that would appall the Founding Fathers: a state that is neither democratic nor republican, and no more `conservative` than it is liberal. He exposes the Bush Republicans` contempt for democratic practice, their bullying religiosity, their reckless militarism, their apocalyptic views of the economy and the planet, and?above all?their emotional dependence on sheer hatefulness. Abraham Lincoln once observed that, if the United States should ever be… [detailed...]

Description: Cruel and Usual Punishment is a wake up call to the Western world. Nonie Darwish presents an insider`s look at Sharia and examines how radical Muslim laws are destroying the Western world from within. Living under Sharia law for the first thirty years of her life,a virtual slave to Islamic law, Darwish never questioned or challenged her rights--or dared to even think about the validity of Sharia laws. She didn`t try to examine what Sharia was, how it came about or why she followed it. `This is Allah`s law,` she was told, and she knew what awaited those who questioned Allah`s law. But she doesn`t believe the lies anymore, and now she wants to share her experiences with the Western world. Cruel and Usual Punishment is an insider`s look at how Muslims sacrifice their basic human rights to obey the archaic and brutal laws handed down to their prophet centuries ago. Heed this warning: Sharia Law is attempting to infiltrate Western culture and destroy democracy. [detailed...]

Cruise Ship Squeeze : The New Pirates of the Seven Seas

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book is about modern pirates: those who sail huge cruise ships from one port to another, offloading thousands of visitors a day. While the industry rakes in billions of dollars a year, paying virtually no income tax, the ports that ships visit are left with relatively few crumbs. It exploits workers onboard ships, uses graft from its deep war chests to shape political decisions and influence media, and bullies administrations into accepting, for example, that Carnival`s 50 percent-plus market dominance is not anti-competitive, or that its abysmal environmental and health practices are responsible. It represents capitalism at its worst. Cruise Ship Squeeze focuses on the politics and economics of an industry that is continually subsidized by ports and by local, regional, and national governments and which runs roughshod over environmental and other laws and regulations. Through confidential documents and meetings with port officials, corporate… [detailed...]

A History of the Great American Potato Chip tells the story of this crispy, salty treat, from the early sales of locally made chips at corner groceries, county fairs, and cafes to the mass marketing and corporate consolidation of the modern snack food industry. Crunch! also uncovers a dark side of potato chip history, including a federal investigation of the snack food industry in the 1990s following widespread allegations of antitrust activity, illegal buyouts, and predatory pricing. In the wake of these “Great Potato Chip Wars,” corporate snack divisions closed and dozens of family-owned companies went bankrupt. Yet, despite consolidation, many small chippers persist into the twenty-first century, as mom-and-pop companies and upstart “boutique” businesses serve both new consumers and markets with strong regional loyalties.
