"International experts evaluate new policy directions in economic
development and poverty reduction, building on the ideas of a
pioneer in the new discipline of Development Studies, Frances
Stewart. Combing ideas and evidence on technological change, human
development and conflict prevention to address the issue of the
persistence of inequality"--
Understanding why inequality is so great and has persevered for
centuries in a number of Latin American countries requires tools
that go beyond economics. Inequality between indigenous groups and
others has been particularly harsh and persistent. This book
applies a truly interdisciplinary approach to the specific case of
Peru, seeking out the dynamics of the interactions between the
society, the polity, the geography and the economy. Ethnic
discrimination and prejudice emerge as central themes, explored
through people's own perceptions and life experiences. The book
attempts to extend the boundaries of our understanding and
contributes to the growing interest in ethnicity and conflict by
developing and exploring the interactions between institutions and
the inequalities between groups.

In the 1990s, "protection," "import substitution," and "intervention" have become dirty words, part of the "leyenda negra" of Latin America development in the post-war period. This book attempts a fresh look at the controversial years between the end of the Second World War and the point when, at varying dates in different countries, a discontinuity occurs in which the post-war "style of development" ceased to play a central role in the economic evolution of the region. The analysis is based on seven case studies covering 11countries.
In the 1990s, 'protection', 'import substitution' and
'intervention' have become dirty words, part of the 'leyenda negra'
of Latin America development in the postwar period. This book
attempts a fresh look at the controversial years between the end of
the Second World War and the point when, at varying dates in
different countries, a discontinuity occurs in which the postwar
'style of development' ceased to play a central role in the
economic evolution of the region. The analysis is based on seven
case studies covering eleven countries.
The first volume in this series explores the impact on Latin America of the extraordinary transformation in the international economy that took place in the half century or so which preceded the world depression of the 1930s. The internationally respected authors show how the response varied in terms of both growth and distribution, shaped by varying preconditions, by natural resources and geography. The interplay of economic developments with political and social structures had profound and varied effects on policy making and on institutions, of great significance for the next decade.

country.

This study looks in general at the interaction between
hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists across a perceived frontier,
and more specifically, at the southwards movement of Bantu-speaking
agriculturalists and their relationship with hunter-gatherers south
and west of the Caldeon Valley, from the 16th to 19th century AD.
Theoretical and practical approaches are taken from the
ethnographic record and are applied to the investigation of
evidence for the processes of interaction, cooperation and
hostility across the frontier zone: stone tools, faunal and plant
remains and ceramics.
The Christian Realists investigates the contributions to practical
and theoretical politics by a variety of mid-twentieth century
thinkers such as Reinhold Niebuhr, John Foster Dulles, and Herbert
Butterfield. In a period of international conflict and uncertainty
caused by the rise of Nazism and Communism and the advent of
nuclear weapons, these individuals argued for a "Christian" and a
"realistic" approach to social and political problems. It is
significant that for about a quarter century these men were
listened to on Capitol Hill, in Westminster, on university
campuses, in newspapers, as well as throughout the Western
religious establishment. This volume provides chapters devoted to
the thought of specific Christian realists: Niebuhr, Dulles, Martin
Wight, John C. Bennett, and others. The book also includes a
chapter on Niebuhr's influence on his secular disciples such as
Hans Morgenthau and Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and a chapter on the
Catholic social thinker John Courtney Murray.
A Handbook for Basic Biblical Exegesis provides a guide for a
systematic approach to biblical study for Christians of all schools
of theological thought. Convenient for anyone in bible classes,
hermeneutics classes, theological research classes, or any
theological interpretation classes, this book explains and
simplifies the exegetical process which is often presented as a
mystical, enigmatic process. The author outlines the basic tools
necessary for those interested in biblical studies and biblical
language to properly interpret the language of the bible. The
author presents the process using the seven steps necessary for a
complete interpretation: initial translation, textual analysis,
linguistic analysis (word study), historical analysis, literary
analysis, theological analysis, and application. He also provides
appendices containing critical information and examples to aid
understanding of the exegesis process.
In the search for snakebite antidotes, the ecology and evolution of venomous snakes is of critical importance. This book presents a multidisciplinary approach to venomous snake research, as well as focusing on the medical aspects of snake venoms and the effects of snakebites. Herpetology is a growing subject, and this book will appeal to the ever-increasing number of amateur snake enthusiasts. The book will also be an essential reference work for researchers involved in any aspect of venomous snake research, as well as those interested in the broader fields of ecology and evolution.
