Deborah J. Milly
Poverty, Equality, and Growth: The Politics of Economic Need in Postwar Japan (Harvard East Asian Monographs, 174)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In striking contrast to the large indigent population in Japan in the 1950s, very few Japanese live in poverty today. This book explains the Japanese government`s decision to respond to poverty by promoting equality as the basis for a social compromise. Milly argues that to account for why and how political actors crafted a program that won acceptance, we must look beyond them and identify how they relied on knowledge and normative arguments. This book straddles theoretical fault lines in comparative politics by exploring the interactions among choice, language, knowledge, and institutions in policy processes, and has implications for the ongoing debate between proponents of rational choice theory as a universal explanation for the decisions of politicalactors and those who focus on historically or culturally specific conditions.

Poverty, Ethnicity, and Gender in Eastern Europe During the Market Transition

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This provocative volume is the first book to offer an extensive examination of the nature of poverty and its relationship to gender and ethnicity in five post-communist societies. As nations make the difficult transition from socialism to capitalism, theextent and nature of poverty tends to change and, because of this, the proportion of the population living in poverty tends to change. As a result, the proportion of the population living in poverty has increased sharply in these countries. The contributors contend that a `new poverty` is in the making and that the growing underclass is strongly related to ethnicity, as such an underclass is more likely to form if there is a sizeable Roma (Gypsy) minority. The question of whether gender interacts with poverty the same way ethnicity does is the subject of intense controversy and is addressed here in lucid, accessible prose. In this comprehensive analysis of the interaction between poverty, ethnicity, and gender in East European… [detailed...]

Poverty, Growth, and Institutions in Developing Asia (Asian Development Bank Books)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The theme of this book is that economic growth is key, but institutions and other national and subnational attributes matter as well. They are critical to explaining differences in social development and poverty reduction across countries and subnational areas that cannot be accounted for by growth alone. The book concludes that a more complete strategy needs to consider various institutional factors at the national and subnational levels to achieve rapid and sustained poverty reduction. Indeed, paying attention to these factors will benefit both growth and poverty reduction. [detailed...]

Poverty, Income Distribution and Labour Markets in Ethiopia

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world with a per capita income of just above US$100. With such a low average income, poverty is of course widespread, so understanding the causes of poverty is of utmost importance, but until recently very little household-data has been available. This study deals with many aspects of poverty and income-distribution in Ethiopia, providing a wealth of information on household-income and its determinants. The book is of interest both to academics working on poverty analysis and to policy makers and donors collaborating with Ethiopia. [detailed...]

Description: The Asian road to the market has generally been seen as a model of success and the object of widespread admiration. But even in countries experiencing sustained growth, there have been unmistakable signs of deep social strain. This book evaluates the experience and debunks widespread myths about Asian growth. It does so by identifying the link between alternative transition models, public policies and household responses on the one hand, and key welfare changes on the other. [detailed...]

Pow Wow: American Short Fiction from Then to Now

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Celebrated novelist, poet, and MacArthur fellow Ishmael Reed follows his ground breaking poetry anthology, From Totems to Hip-Hop, with this provocative survey of American short fiction. Using the yardstick that a short story is any fiction under 15,000 words, Ishmael Reed--with the assistance of Carla Blank--has assembled an anthology that includes work ranging from bear stories of the Tlingits to African-American folklore to the hip-hop writings of Kevin Powell. Pow-Wow is the sequel to Reed`s From Totems to Hip-Hop: A Multicultural Anthology of Poetry Across the Americas, 1900 -2002, a volume that included both Tupac Shakur and T. S. Eliot, and was named one of the best poetry anthologies of 2003 by Library Journal. Its fiction-focused follow-up will once again demonstrate Reed`s broad range, from such stellar names as Erskine Caldwell, Toni Cade Bambara, Langston Hughes, and Alejandro Murguia to newly discovered writers of all races, genders, and backgrounds.

Powell and Pressburger : A Cinema of Magic Spaces (Cinema and Society)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The filmmaking partnership of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger was one of the most remarkable and visionary in cinema. They made an extraordinary range of films, from The Spy in Black and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp to A Canterbury Tale and The Red Shoes . With champions like Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, and revived critical interest worldwide, they now find new generations of admirers. This illuminating new book looks closely at these classic films to explore their complex relationship to national identity, and their developing interest in exile, borderlands, utopias, escapism, art and fantasy. Moor reveals how the visual imagery of the films of World War II question current cinematic styles and how post-war films like The Red Shoes and The Tales of Hoffman-- in their highly expressive use of design, music and dance--are international in character.

Description: Power Aware Design Methodologies is on power-awareness in design. The difference between low-power design and power-awareness in design is that whereas low-power design refers to minimizing power with or without a performance constraint, power-aware design refers to maximizing some other performance metric, subject to a power budget (even while reducing power dissipation). Power Aware Design Methodologies was conceived as an effort to bring all aspects of power-aware design methodologies together in a single document. It covers several layers of the design hierarchy from technology, circuit logic, and architectural levels up to the system layer. It includes discussion of techniques and methodologies for improving the power efficiency of CMOS circuits (digital and analog), systems on chip, microelectronic systems, wirelessly networked systems of computational nodes and so on. In addition to providing an in-depth analysis of the sources of power dissipation in VLSI circuits and systems… [detailed...]

Power Distance in Websites: How do the Findings of Geert Hofstede on Power Distance Reflect on Websites of Educational Institutes with Different PDs?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It is important for any company or organization to build culturally-competent websites which can help to increase international demand and sales, and establish a reliable, professional and international image online. The World Wide Web is a powerful marketing and communication tool in the globalized economy. Yet, the importance of cultural differences is often overlooked in user-interface design, perhaps due to the scarcity of research to test whether theories of cultural dimensions also apply to website development.The aim of the study was to examine university websites in countries with different power distances in the framework of theories of Geert Hofstede and suggestions of Aaron Marcus on their implications. The results indicated that power distance dimension is clearly reflected at the university websites of culturally different countries. The websites between countries differ more profoundly than just by language or colour preferences. [detailed...]
