Publisher: —

Sovereign Debt at the Crossroads: Challenges and Proposals for Resolving the Third World Debt Crisis

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recent world events have created a compelling need for new perspectives and realistic solutions to the problem of sovereign debt. The success of the Jubilee 2000 movement in raising public awareness of the devastating effects of debt, coupled with the hihly publicized Bono/O`Neill tour of Africa, and the spectacular default and economic implosion of Argentina have helped spur a global debate over debt. A growing chorus of globalization critics, galvanized by the Catholic Church`s demand for forgivenes and bolstered by recent defaults, has put debt near the top of the international agenda. Creditor governments and international financial institutions have belatedly recognized the need for more sustainable progress on debt as an inescapable step towads economic recovery in many parts of the world. This book is intended to advance the dialogue around these issues by providing a comprehensive overview of the problems raised by debt and describing new and practical approaches to… [detailed...]

Sovereign Risk and Financial Crises

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sovereign risk and financial crises play a key role in current international economic developments, particularly in the case of economic downturns. As the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s revealed once again, financial crises are the rule rather than the exception in capitalist economies. The event also revealed that international public debt agreements are contingent claims. In a world of increasing economic interdependencies, the issues of financial crises and country defaults are of critical importance. This volume goes to the heart of the academic discussion on sovereign risk and financial crises by centering on quantitative-empirical aspects, evaluating prominent approaches, and by proposing new methods. Part I of the volume identifies key factors and processes that are central in analyzing sovereign risk while Part II focuses on the determinants and effects of financial crises. [detailed...]

Soviet Air Force Theory, 1918-1945

2007 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: This book examines the development of Soviet thinking on the operational employment of their Air Force from 1918 to 1945, using Soviet theoretical writings and Soviet analyses of combat actions written in the period examined. Soviet theory did not form a monolithic bloc of opinion, nor was it copied wholesale from abroad, but instead was formed in a process of debates founded on fundamentally Soviet concerns about the nature of potential wars, and on Soviet views of combats as they occurred. Equally, Soviet theory before World War II was neither wholly prescient, nor utterly flawed. However, Soviet utilization of their theory was crippled in the later 1930s and the early stages of World War II by problems with dissemination of lessons learned and training of air crew and officers. As these problems were overcome, the Soviet Air Force became an increasingly powerful weapon for carrying out the ground force support missions that Soviet theory determined was paramount.

Soviet Labour Ideology and the Collapse of the State

2000 y.
Publisher: The Macmillan Press LTD, St. Martin`s Press
Description: This book examines the transformation of Soviet labor ideology during the last decade of the USSR, and its critical relationship to the collapse of the Soviet state. The author focuses on regime attempts to revive Soviet economic performance on the basis of increased labor productivity, and shows how their failure had foreseen and catastrophic consequences for the legitimacy of the state. Far from reinvigorating concepts about the role and nature of labor in Soviet society, the regime succeeded only in demonstrating its own impotence and unsustainability. Формат: 14,5 см x 22 см.

Soviet Lend-Lease Fighter Aces of World War 2

2006 y.
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: By the end of 1941 the Soviet Union was near collapse and its air force almost annihilated, leaving large numbers of surviving pilots with no aircraft to fly. At this juncture the United Kingdom put aside its prewar animosities toward the Communists and despatched several hundred Hurricane fighters despite the fact that at this time the British were still struggling to supply the RAF with modern fighters in North Africa and the Far East. A total of 4300 Hurricanes and Spitfires, as well as several hundred Tomahawks, Kittyhawks and Airacobras, obtained from the USA under Lend-lease, were eventually supplied to the USSR in an attempt to present a Russian defeat. After the United States had entered the war, the Americans extended Lend-lease to include direct supply to the Soviets as well as the British, and among the aircraft sent were almost 10,000 fighters - mainly P-39s, P-40s and P-63s. Although many of these aircraft were outdated when they arrived, and some were not particularly… [detailed...]

Soviet Railways to Russian Railways

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the postsoviet decade Russian railways remained highly centralized, evaded the upheavals of mass privatization, and remained the backbone of a demoralized economy. Preserving much of Soviet practice, the Railways Ministry mounted a skilled rearguard action that achieved a gradual and considered adaptation to the market economy rather than the pell-mell, western-orientated, liberalization that afflicted other branches of the economy. This book describes that rearguard action, and goes on to show how railway managers are coping with the new conditions. [detailed...]

This book provides a view of the Soviet rifleman in defeat and victory, on the defensive and in attack both in the heat of the summer and the frozen brutality of the Russian winter. Their political beliefs, motivation, training, everyday life, weaponry and equipment are examined here, accompanied by rare photographs and full-color artwork. Формат издания: 18,5 см х 25 см.

Soviet Textiles: Designing the Modern Utopia

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Between 1927 and 1933, as the new Soviet Union emerged and the Communist party struggled to transform an agrarian country into an industrialized state, a group of young artists pitched in by designing fabrics depicting tractors, smokestacks and symbols of collective modernity, cloth with which to mold its buyers into ideal Soviet citizens. Few of these designs ever saw mass production, and the experiment failed as propaganda--comrades clung to their traditional floral motifs--but it yielded bold and intriguing new designs. Soviet Textiles: Designing the Modern Utopia presents some 40 of them, and analyzes the political and artistic context in which they were made. Pamela Jill Kachurin identifies major themes and motifs, including industrialization, transportation, electrification, youth, agriculture and collectivization, and sports and hobbies, and analyzes the work both as propaganda and as graphic art, in this, the only English-language book to treat them from that… [detailed...]

2006 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: This new book analyzes how the Soviet leadership evaluated developments in Soviet-Vietnamese relations in the years from 1949 to 1964. Focusing on how Soviet leaders actually perceived China`s role in Vietnam relative to the Soviet role, it shows how these perceptions influenced the Soviet-Vietnamese relationship. It also explains how and when Moscow`s enthusiasm for the active Chinese role in Vietnam came to an end - or, in other words, from what point was Beijing`s involvement in Vietnam perceived as a liability rather than an asset, in the strategies of Soviet policy makers. This book is an excellent resource for all students with an interest in Soviet-Vietnamese relations and of strategic studies and international relations in general. Формат: 16 см x 25 см.
