Cities and Global Governance - New Sites for International Relations (Paperback): Mark Amen, Noah J. Toly, Klaus Segbers,... Cities and Global Governance - New Sites for International Relations (Paperback)
Mark Amen, Noah J. Toly, Klaus Segbers, Patricia L. McCarney
R1,566 Discovery Miles 15 660 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Case study rich, this volume advances our understanding of the significance of 'the city' in global governance. The editors call for innovation in international relations theory with case studies that add breadth to theorizing the role sub-national political actors play in global affairs. Each of the eight case studies demonstrates different intersections between the local and the global and how these intersections alter the conditions resulting from globalization processes. The case studies do so by focusing on one of three sub-themes: the diverse ways in which cities and sub-national regions impact nation-state foreign policy; the various dimensions of urban imbrications in global environmental politics; or the multiple methods and standards used to measure the global roles of cities.

Russia & the EU in a Multipolar World - Discourses, Identities, Norms (Paperback): Andrey Makarychev Russia & the EU in a Multipolar World - Discourses, Identities, Norms (Paperback)
Andrey Makarychev; Foreword by Klaus Segbers
R1,372 R607 Discovery Miles 6 070 Save R765 (56%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This timely book offers a multifaceted analysis of EU-Russian relations, drawing on the investigation of competing models of international society. Makarychev argues that the huge variety of interest-based and normative models is best explained through the study of foreign policy and identity discourses. His approach defies simplistic explanations of EU-Russian relations as either destined for cooperation or doomed to constant collisions. Instead, Makarychev unveils multiple alternatives that both the EU and Russia face in their policies toward each other. Assessing the repercussions ongoing EU-Russian discord has on Europe and the world, Makarychev's volume reveals the interconnectedness of the discourses dominating the EU and Russia while also accounting for the deep-seated disconnect between them.

Resistance to Globalization - Political Struggle and Cultural Resilience in the Middle East, Russia and Latin America... Resistance to Globalization - Political Struggle and Cultural Resilience in the Middle East, Russia and Latin America (Paperback)
Harald Barrios, Martine Beck, Andreas Boeckh, Klaus Segbers
R614 Discovery Miles 6 140 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume is an important contribution to the empirical research on what globalization means in different world regions. "Resistance" here has a double meaning: - Active, intentional resistance to tendencies which are rejected on political or moral grounds by presenting alternative discourses and concepts founded in specific cultural and national traditions. - Resilience with regard to globalization pressures in the sense that traditional patterns of development and politics are resistant to change and transform the impulses originating from globalization processes in a way that their results are very different when compared across regions and are not conducive to globalization. The book points out the possibility that the local, sub-national, national, and regional patterns of politics and development will coexist with globalized structures for quite a while without yielding very much ground and in ways which may turn out to be a serious barrier to further globalization. Case studies presented focus on Venezuela (A. Boeckh), Brazil (J. Faust), the Middle East (M. Beck, S. Hegasy), Iran (H. Furtig), and Russia (A. S. Makarychev, A. Shastitko, N. Zubarevich).

Perestrojka Passe? - Eine Zwischenbilanz Der Reformpolitik in Der Sowjetunion (German, Paperback, 1992 ed.): Wolfgang... Perestrojka Passe? - Eine Zwischenbilanz Der Reformpolitik in Der Sowjetunion (German, Paperback, 1992 ed.)

Die Sowjetunion ist vergangen. Die historischen Wandlungspro zesse, die dies bewirkt haben, sind jedoch langst nicht abgeschlos sen: Der Systemwechsel, der Austausch des klassischen sowjeti schen Modells gegen ein anderes, ist in vollem Gange. In dieser Si tuation ist es nutzlich, einmal innezuhalten und eine Zwischenbilanz zu ziehen: Was haben die Jahre 1985 -1991 fur die Menschen in der fruheren Sowjetunion (FSU) gebracht? Wie sehr wurden Politik, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft, Kultur von den dramatischen Veranderun gen erfasst, und mit welchem (Zwischen)Resultat? Die meisten Beitrage dieses Bandes wurden vor dem August 1991 geschrieben, also vor dem "Putschversuch," der das schon langst ab sehbare Ende der UdSSR und der KPdSU, aber auch das der "demo kratischen Opposition" verdeutlicht und beschleunigt hat. Soweit die ursprungliche Absicht des Buches, namlich auf eine unaufdring liehe, nicht abgehobene Weise in die einzelnen Bereiche des Wandels hineinzuleuchten, keineswegs erledigt ist, haben die einzelnen Bei trage auch jetzt eine wichtige Funktion. Der Systemwechsel geht weiter: es gibt zu ihm keine Alternative. Und die Formen, in denen er stattfinden wird, werden von der Befindlichkeit der einzelnen Ak tionsbereiche gepragt, die in diesem Band beschrieben werden. Ziel dieses Bandes ist, den facettenreichen Reformprozess, die Pe restrojka, so aufzuarbeiten, dass dieser historisch, sozialstruktureIl und in seinen politischen (vgl. die Beitrage von Halbach, Rahr, Seg bers, Schroder und Tolz), gesellschaftlichen (vgl. die Beitrage von Teckenberg und Trepper), rechtlichen (vgl. den Beitrag von Luchter hand), kulturellen (vgl. den Beitrag von Waschik), okonomischen (vgl. den Beitrag von Gotz) und okologischen (vgl."
