The Politics of Public Fund Investing: How to Modify Wall Street to Fit Main Street

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Until now, there has never been a book to help public fund managers direct fixed-income portfolios while simultaneously balancing politics, or the need to preserve principal, with economics, or the need to optimize income. The Politcs of Public Fund Investing approaches public fund management from the lay perspective, providing much-needed guidance to modify Wall Street strategies to serve the needs of Main Street. If you manage a public fund, if you re an elected official, or if you oversee a portfolio for a foundation or an endowment, you know the traditional money management strategy used every day on Wall Street doesn`t necessarily apply to your situation. For you, investing isn`t simply about ecoomics. Wall Street strategies do not take into account election cycles, political risk factors, or the unique performance assessments public funds must undergo. When Wall Street builds a portfolio, it doesn`t need to consider the… [detailed...]

Jeffrey K. Olick
The Politics of Regret: On Collective Memory and Historical Responsibility

2007 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: In the past decade, Jeffrey Olick has established himself as one of the world`s pre-eminent sociologists of memory (and, related to this, both cultural sociology and social theory). His recent book on memory in postwar Germany, `In the House of the Hangman` (University of Chicago Press, 2005) has garnered a great deal of acclaim. This book collects his best essays on a range of memory related issues and adds a couple of new ones. It is more conceptually expansive than his other work and will serve as a great introduction to this important theorist. In the past quarter century, the issue of memory has not only become an increasingly important analytical category for historians, sociologists and cultural theorists, it has become pervasive in popular culture as well. Part of this is a function of the enhanced role of both narrative and representation - the building blocks of memory, so to speak - across the social sciences and humanities. Just as importantly, though, there has also been… [detailed...]

The Politics of Selfhood: Bodies and Identities in Global Capitalism

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In bodies and selves, we can see politics, economics, and culture play out, and the tensions and crises of society made visible. The women`s movement, lobbies for the elderly, pro-choice and pro-life movements, AIDS research and education, pedophilia andrepressed memory, global sports spectacles, organ donor networks, campaigns for safe sex, chastity, or preventive medicine-all are aspects of the contemporary politics of bodies and identities touched on in this book. Three broad themes run through the collection: how the body is constructed in various ways for different purposes, how the electronic media and its uses shape selves and sensualities and contribute to civic discourse, and how global capitalism acts as a direct force in these processes. By taking a distinctly cross-cultural and comparative approach, this volume explores more fully than ever the political, economic, institutional, and cultural settings of corporeality, identity, and representation.

The Politics of Social Science Research: Race, Ethnicity, and Social Change (Migration, Minorities and Citizenship)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book addresses some of the key questions facing contemporary social scientists. It does so by focusing on international research on identity and social inequality grounded in `race` and ethnic difference. The contributors to the volume, who aredrawn from Europe, North America, South Africa, and Australia, reflect on questions from the position of `insiders`, in the sense that they are active participants in the research cultures about which they are writing. They ask searching questions about the politics of research finding, the empowerment of minorities and the prospects for meaningful social change. In doing so we gain a fascinating insight into, for example, the position of social scientists in war-torn Serbia, in post-apartheid in South Africa, and in the contemporary US. [detailed...]

The Politics of Taxing and Spending

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: How are budget decisions made by the US government? Is it fair to blame skyrocketing deficits on an inability to curtail spending? How - and why - are taxing and spending decidedly separate political processes? Emphasizing budgetary politics rather than economic theories, Patrick Fisher offers a clear, thorough overview of how money flows through our government coffers.A welcome realism pervades Fisher`s analysis of budget making, and numerous case studies of events in recent budget politics bring his arguments to life. The result is a balanced wealth of material for classroom discussion. [detailed...]

Description: `The Politics of Values` examines the emergence, climax, and gradual erosion of the symbiotic relationship between the Republican Party and the Evangelicals from 1998 to 2008. It argues that their similar, conservative, social values tied them together in moral, ideological, and partisan ways during the last decade, thus jeopardizing the principle of the separation of church and state and doing irreparable harm to the American political process.

The Politics of Workplace Change: A Case in Telecommunications

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Debates about workplace change have been influenced by interest in the high-performance` workplace. Practices such as cross-functional teams job rotation multi-skilling and employee involvement are touted as rational responses to the competitive conditions that companies currently face. As such contemporary debates generally treat high performance practices and downsizing as mutually exclusive trajectories of corporate reorganization. This book challenges the high performance model by examining a company that uses both high performance and downsizing practices as part of its reorganization strategy. It traces the evolution of different `production regimes` in the US telecommunications industry from a period in which monopoly status created stable conditions for accumulation and accommodation with labor to the post-divestiture period in which the context of labor-management relations has been dramatically altered. The book argues that rather than constituting contradictory approaches… [detailed...]

The Politics of the Asian Economic Crisis (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the summer of 1997, a tidal wave of economic problems swept across Asia. Currencies plummeted, banks failed, GNP stagnated, unemployment soared, and exports stalled. In short, the vaunted `Asian Economic Miracle` became the `Asian Economic Crisis`--with serious repercussions for nations and markets around the world. While the headlines are still fresh, a group of experts on the region presents the first account to focus on the political causes and implications of the crisis. The events of 199798 involved not just property values, financial flows, portfolio makeup, and debt ratios, they argue, but also the power relationships that shaped those economic indicators. As they examine the domestic, regional, and international politics that underlaythe economic collapse, the authors analyze the reasons why the crisis affected the nations of Asia in radically different ways. The authors also consider whether the crisis indicates a radical change in Asia`s economic future. … [detailed...]

The Politics of the Caribbean Basin Sugar Trade

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Growing global interdependence made the 1970s and 1980s a volatile period in the sugar trade during a time when Caribbean countries were economically dependent on their sugar exports. This book focuses on the evolution of the U.S.--Caribbean Basin trade and its impact on political relations between the countries. The book shows how the sugar trade was not driven by laws of supply and demand, but by various political agendas. Economic protectionism, government subsidies for inefficient elements of the sugar industry, as well as corruption and mismanagement have all played a role in the sugar trade. By providing an in-depth look at the development of current policies in the sugar trade, this book offers the needed background for making informed decisions on policy questions. [detailed...]

The Politics of the New International Financial Architecture : Reimposing Neoliberal Domination in the Global South

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Recent years have witnessed a veritable epidemic of financial crises--from Mexico, through South East Asia, Russia, Brazil and now Argentina. The rich industrial countries, led by the United States, have had to respond. This book examines the G7`s attempts over the past decade to re-establish rules and a degree of order in the world financial system through the creation of the Financial Stability Forum and the G20, which they are calling the New International Financial Architecture. Susanne Soederberg asks: Why has the New International Financial Architecture emerged? At whose initiative? What does it involve? What are the underlying power relations? Who is benefiting? And, will it really work? The author argues that this tinkering with the capitalist system will not achieve either sustained economic growth or stability in financial markets, let alone enhance the capability of developing countries to tackle the problems of mass poverty and social injustice. … [detailed...]
