Paul W. Kahn
Putting Liberalism in Its Place

2008 y.
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Description: In this wide-ranging interdisciplinary work, Paul W. Kahn argues that political order is founded not on contract but on sacrifice. Because liberalism is blind to sacrifice, it is unable to explain how the modern state has brought us to both the rule of law and the edge of nuclear annihilation. Returning to the Judeo-Christian concept of love, Kahn shows us that the political community is bound together by faith, love, and identity. Arguing against much of contemporary political theory, Kahn links love and sacrifice to a rich conception of sovereignty. Kahn draws on political and cultural theory, philosophy, American constitutional law, and religious and literary studies to explore the deepest manifestations of the human condition. Together with its companion volume, Out of Eden, Putting Liberalism in Its Place finally answers Clifford Geertz`s call for a political theology of modernity. : 15,5 x 23,5 c. [detailed...]

Putting Partnership To Work: Strategic Alliances for Development Between Government, The Private Sector and Civil Society

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg clearly identified the corporate sector as one of the key actors in the delivery of national and international poverty reduction targets in developing countries. `Partnerships` between government, civil society and business were proposed as one means whereby these poverty reduction targets were to be achieved. Despite the rhetoric, there was less consideration of how such partnerships could work in practice, the outcomes that could be achieved, or the relative merits of partnerships over other, more traditional approaches to development. This book is about partnerships between the private sector, government and civil society. Its objective is to share practical experiences in establishing and implementing such partnerships and to show how partnerships work. The focus is on the oil, gas and mining industries, as these sectors have tended to be the primary drivers of foreign investment in developing countries. These [detailed...]

Putting Workfare in Place: Local Labour Markets and the New Deal (Rgs-Ibg Book Series)

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: The New Deal for Young People, introduced in April 1998, has been a flagship of the Labour Government. This book is the first comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the New Deal and examines how far the programme has succeeded in responding to the diversity of conditions in local labour markets across the UK.The book argues that profound differences in local labour market conditions have exerted a telling influence on the New Deal`s achievements. It proposes that contemporary labour market policy should not only be based on theories and models of the national economy and of individual behaviour, but that policy design also needs to recognise the importance of the local and regional labour market contexts which shape its viability and outcomes. By situating policy in this way, the book not only examines how workfare has been put in place in the UK, but also puts place into workfare. [detailed...]
