Disarmament, Economic Conversion, and Management of Peace (Hardcover, New): Manas Chatterji, Linda Rennie Forcey Disarmament, Economic Conversion, and Management of Peace (Hardcover, New)
Manas Chatterji, Linda Rennie Forcey
R2,724 Discovery Miles 27 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This important volume tackles the potential problems of international military disarmament. Distinguished scholars across several disciplines discuss possible negative economic and social consequences, including unemployment, conversion costs, and the related hampered growth of research and development, associated with the conversion from a military industrial economy to a civilian complex. The authors present techniques for managing sectoral and regional economic imbalances and conclude that disarmament would ultimately release resources for foreign aid to close the gap between the world's haves and have-nots.

Divided into three parts (Models of Disarmament and Conflict Analysis, Economic Conversion, and Management of Peace), this volume addresses specific topics such as techniques of management conflict, factors affecting military expenditures, new prospects for an East-West relationship, American strategic policy and NATO, defense expenditure and economic conversion, Third World arms production, and regional conflict in the wake of superpower convergence. These analyses and discussions will be of particular interest to scholars of Peace Studies, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, and Military Studies.

Peace - Meanings, Politics, Strategies (Hardcover, New): Linda Rennie Forcey Peace - Meanings, Politics, Strategies (Hardcover, New)
Linda Rennie Forcey
R2,696 Discovery Miles 26 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Linda Forcey writes in her introduction to this important new book that more than forty years have passed since Albert Einstein prophesied unparalleled catastrophe were we not to change our modes of thinking. Learning how we should go about this is peace studies. This book explores the meanings of peace, including political approaches and strategies for better understanding and change from a wide range of ideological and philosophical perspectives. The chapters, by scholars of sociology, history, psychology, political science, and several interdisciplinary fields, pose challenging philosophical, ideological, and pedagogical questions. The contributors encourage active thought about the complex interrelationship of the personal and systemic dimensions of peace.

Ideal for interdisciplinary, introductory peace study courses, this volume stimulates thought about the peace process by examining individual behavior and responsibility as well as that of the political and social collective. It challenges the reader into thinking deeply about peace by focusing on the complex interrelationship of its personal and structural dimensions. Although the book is organized into three parts--Meanings, Politics, and Strategies--the themes presented necessarily overlap. As is stated in the introduction, the meanings we give to the process of peace, the politics that govern the ways in which we view the world and our place in it, and the strategies for a better world we choose to pursue are so interrelated as to forestall neat compartmentalization.

Mothers of Sons - Toward an Understanding of Responsiblity (Hardcover): Linda Rennie Forcey Mothers of Sons - Toward an Understanding of Responsiblity (Hardcover)
Linda Rennie Forcey
R2,143 Discovery Miles 21 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the complex and rewarding relationship between mothers and their sons. It begins with a survey of the literature on the mother/son relationship. The main part of Forcey's study is based on the oral histories of 120 mothers in which they reveal their feelings of responsibility toward their sons, their expectations, and how they communicate. The book closes with three "portraits" of women who describe their relationships with their sons and how they have changed over time and through such upheavals as mothers returning to work and divorce. In examining the mother/son relationship, Mothers of Sons ultimately questions whether or not mothers foster sexist masculinity and whether they can be blamed for male dominance.

Mothering - Ideology, Experience, and Agency (Paperback): Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Grace Chang, Linda Rennie Forcey Mothering - Ideology, Experience, and Agency (Paperback)
Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Grace Chang, Linda Rennie Forcey
R1,756 Discovery Miles 17 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days


The volume presents a variety of unique perspectives on mothering as a socially constructed relationship focused on caring and nurturing. Crossing a range of ethnicities and classes, it addresses different ideas and practices of mothering, the need to expand our definitions beyond biological determinism and 'family values', and the conditions under which, and resources with which, mothering occurs. Since mothering is central to the reproduction of social relations - the main vehicle by which people form their first identities and learn their place in society - it constitutes a contested terrain. This work brings together important voices on the most examined and 'essential' aspect of female being.
