The Politics of Identity and Civil Society in Britain and Germany: Miners in the Ruhr and South Wales 1890-1926 (Critical Labour Movement Studies)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study compares the making and remaking of the political identities of the miners’ movements in Britain and Germany. Examining this intersection through discourse analysis and the concept of the `lifeworld,` this book brings together the miners’ socia world and the realm of organized politics to advance historical understanding of two of the most powerful European labor movements. Taking the south Wales and Ruhr coalfields as case studies, it focuses on the public discourse of the trade unions and poltical parties as disseminated in local newspapers, trade union publications, pamphlets, and election leaflets. It reveals how the miners’ movements utilized ideas such as class, religion, the `people` or `Volk`, socialization, and nationalization to constuct organizational identities during the turbulent period between 1890 and 1926.

The Politics of Identity in Irish Drama: W.B. Yeats, Augusta Gregory and J.M. Synge (Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study examines the early dramatic works of Yeats, Synge, and Gregory in the context of late colonial Ireland`s unique socio-political landscape. By contextualizing each author`s work within the artistic and political discourses of their time, Cusack demonstrates the complex negotiation of nationalism, class, and gender identities undertaken by these three authors in the years leading up to Ireland`s revolution against England. Furthermore, by focusing on plays written by each author in the context of the ongoing debates over Irish national identity that were taking place throughout Irish public life in this period, Cusack examines in more depth than previous studies the ways Yeats, Gregory, and Synge adapted conventional dramatic and linguistic forms to accommodate the conflicting claims of Irish nationalism. In so doing, he demonstrates the contribution these authors made not only to the development of Irish nationalism but also to modern and post colonial literature as we… [detailed...]

The Politics of Improving Urban Air Quality

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Improving urban air quality has become a policy priority for the European Union, national governments and city authorities as more evidence comes to light of the harmful health effects of road traffic pollution. This book clearly illustrates how to worktowards effective policies for improved urban air quality. The authors argue that designing and implementing successful policies is not just a matter of deciding on the most appropriate technological solutions. A process of institution building has to take place which works towards consensus among a variety of potentially divergent interests, from the police and highway authorities to business interests and citizens. Making use of policy network theory, this volume presents studies of attempts to buildsuch coalitions, and the factors that have often frustrated them, in countries such as Canada, France, Italy and Switzerland. This book provides a major contribution to the theoretical and empirical understanding of the policies needed… [detailed...]

The Politics of Land Reform in Africa: From Communal Tenure to Free Markets

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the trend in Africa today to replace communal forms of customary tenure with Western-type private land tenure arrangements. These are markets in land that treat it as a commodity like any other, and forms of rural credit involving land as collateral. The author develops an aetiology of the main actors in this historic process which is already having huge human consequences. It is likely, if more widely implemented, to transform the face of African rural society towards landlessness, forced migration to big city slums, and rising inequality. [detailed...]

The Politics of Market Reform in Fragile Democracies: Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book takes a powerful new approach to a question central to comparative politics and economics: Why do some leaders of fragile democracies attain political success--culminating in reelection victories--when pursuing drastic, painful economic reformswhile others see their political careers implode? Kurt Weyland examines, in particular, the surprising willingness of presidents in four Latin American countries to enact daring reforms and the unexpected resultant popular support. He argues that only with the robust cognitive-psychological insights of prospect theory can one fully account for the twists and turns of politics and economic policy in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela during the 1980s and 1990s. Assessing conventional approaches suchas rational choice, Weyland concludes that prospect theory is vital to any systematic attempt to understand the politics of market reform. Under this theory, if actors perceive themselves to be in a losing situation they are inclined… [detailed...]

The Politics of Northern Ireland: Beyond the Belfast Agreement

2005 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: `The Politics of Northern Ireland` is by one of the leading authorities on contemporary Northern Ireland politics and provides an original, sophisticated and innovative examination of the post-Belfast agreement political landscape. The Agreement was a model of democratic ingenuity and political inclusion, and intimated the emergence of a new style of politics based on the principles of consent and mutual responsibility. It had the potential to transform Northern Ireland from a political culture of conflict to a potential culture of accommodation. However, the implementation of the Agreement has been plagued by the mistrust of people in Northern Ireland and the imaginative institutions of government have had a fitful existence, penetrating in a permanent atmosphere of crisis. This book explains the experience of hope and frustration through a systematic analysis of the ambiguous political legacy of the peace process. Written in a fluid, witty and accessible style, the book… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: This book asks why some countries have responded to the external constraints and opportunities posed by their global and regional economic context by opening up their economies. In particular, the authors examine the role domestic political and economic factors play in shaping the decision to become more open, or more inward-looking. The countries of Southeast Asia have generally enjoyed economic success in the postwar period. The authors argue that one of the explanations for this success has been theirintegration into the global division of labor, and analyze decisionmaker`s reasons for following this course. They place particular emphasis on external events, notably the two oil shocks of the 1970s, and the more recent outflow of investment capital and manufacturing capacity from Japan and East Asia.

The Politics of Piracy: Intellectual Property in Contemporary China

2007 y.
Publisher: Cornell University Press
Description: China is by far the world`s leading producer of pirated goods - from films and books to clothing, from consumer electronics to aircraft parts. As China becomes a full participant in the international economy, its inability to enforce intellectual property rights is coming under escalating international scrutiny. What is the impact, Andrew C.Mertha asks, of external pressure on China`s enforcement of intellectual property? The conventional wisdom sees a simple correlation between greater pressure and better domestic compliance with international norms and declared national policy. Mertha`s research tells a different story: external pressure may lead to formal agreements in Beijing, resulting in new laws and official regulations, but it is China`s complex network of bureaucracies that decides actual policy and enforcement. The structure of the administrative apparatus that is supposed to protect intellectual property rights makes it possible to track variation in the effects of… [detailed...]

The Politics of Power: Freeport in Suharto`s Indonesia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Even as Major General Suharto consolidated his power in the bloodletting of the mid-sixties, Freeport-McMoRan, the American transnational mining company, signed a contract with the new military regime, the first foreign company to do so. Today, in the isolated jungles of West Papua, a region that is increasingly restive under Indonesian rule, Freeport lays claim to the world`s largest gold mine and one of its richest and most profitable copper mines. This volume is the first major analysis of the company`s presence in Indonesia. It takes a close and detailed look at the changing nature of power relations between Freeport and Suharto, the Indonesian military, the traditional landowners (the Amungme and Kamoro), and environmental and human rights groups. It examines how and why an American company, despite such rigorous home-state laws, was able to operate in West Papua with impunity for nearly thirty years and adapt to, indeed thrive in, a business culture anchored in corruption,… [detailed...]

Description: AIDS kills over 3 million people every year and nearly 40 million people are infected with HIV worldwide. However, HIV prevention has slipped down the international agenda and meaningful attempts to tackle it are hampered by religious ideology and power struggles. This book includes moving first person accounts highlighting both the devastating impact that AIDS has on communities and the struggles that families face to access treatment and preventative education and medicine. The larger issues and trends in the global fight against AIDS are also studied, including the rise of the controversial abstinence-only movement in the US, which is now being exported to Africa.In response to the unfavorable political climate, those worst affected by the crisis are forming political movements to overcome the inertia in the international community and take truly effective action against AIDS.
