It is also a book about the great waves of economic change that are surging out of the distant past and into the future - waves of change that economists have failed even to identify let alone analyse. It however challenges economics to put its house in order before it is engulfed by this rising tide. But, the question is however, will economics have time.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On the basis of a distinctive 'material-cultural' approach to ethics Questions of Conduct puts the case for radically changing the conventional terms of debate on the problem of sexual harassment, and the place of 'citizenship' in socialist political theory and programmes. In so doing this book makes clear the implications of viewing both liberalism and its limits as aspects of 'governmentality' (in Michel Foucault's sense) which cannot be reduced to the language of political philosophy and the debates which surround it. 279 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is about the discourse and practice of intervention and non-intervention in international relations. The product of a dialogue between theorists of politics and international relations, it argues that intervention is endemic in world politics but that we need to move beyond traditional accounts of such practices. In moving towards a more encompassing approach, it explores traditional and post-modern perspectives on our understanding of sovereignty, the state and the state system; conceptions of power, identity and agency; and universal, particularist and contingent justifications for intervention and non-intervention. 249 pp. Englisch.…
