American Political Economy in Global Perspective
Author: Harold L. Wilensky
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107018099
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
This book is a guide to claims about the proper role of government and markets in a global economy. Moving between systematic comparison of 19 rich democracies and debate about what the United States can do to restore a more civilized, egalitarian, and fair society, Harold L. Wilensky tells us how six of these countries got on a low road to economic progress and which components of their labor-crunch strategy are uniquely American. He provides an overview of the impact of major dimensions of globalization, only one of which - the interaction of the internationalization of finance and the rapid increase in the autonomy of central banks - undermines either national sovereignty or job security, labor standards, and the welfare state. Although Wilensky views American policy and politics through the lens of globalization, he concludes that the nation-state remains the center of personal identity, social solidarity, and political action. He concentrates on what national differences mean for the well-being of nations and their people. Drawing on lessons from abroad and from America's own past successes, Wilensky shows how we can reverse our three-decade decline. He argues that, in order to get off the low road, we must overcome the myths of "moderation," the rise of the "independent voter," and a rightward shift of the electorate. He specifies a feasible domestic agenda that matches majority sentiments in all rich democracies.

Global Perspectives on Nationalism
Author: Debajyoti Biswas
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000811441
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Global Perspectives on Nationalism takes an interdisciplinary approach informed by recent theorisations of nationalism to examine perennial questions on the topic. The idea of nationalism centres on questions of ethnicity, culture, religion, language, and access to resources. What determines consciousness of nationalism? How is nationalism manifested, shaped, or countered through literary and cultural productions? The contributors highlight topical areas in studies of nationalism including ecology, natural resources, sustainability, globalisation, the Anthropocene, postcolonialism, indigeneity, folklore, popular culture, and queer theory. They develop innovative perspectives on nationalism through in-depth analyses of the theoretical, political, literary, linguistic, cultural, and ecological dimensions of nationalism in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria, Poland, Scotland, Turkey, the United States, and elsewhere. This volume underscores the importance of generative dialogue between disciplines in assessing the implications of nationalism for everyday life through five thematic sections: (I) Ethnicity, Ideology, and Narration; (II) Religion, Identity, and Heritage; (III) Linguistics, Tradition, and Modernism; (IV) Music, Lyricism, and Poetics; and (V) Ecology, Environment, and Non-Human Lives. This book will be of particular value to students and researchers in philosophy, literary studies, and political theory with interests spanning ecology, ethnicity, folklore, gender, heritage, identity, linguistics, nationalism, nationhood, religion, and sexuality.

The Concept of Community from a Global Perspective
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004697322
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
This volume presents essays analysing the ambivalent history of the globally influential political and social concept of community and the paradigms it has engendered in academia and politics. While the term ‘community’ often evokes positive sentiments, it is also linked to oppressive regimes and exclusion. A survey of the term’s use is followed by studies of the sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies and of the use of the term in disciplines such as politics, applied linguistics, anthropology, literary theory, philosophy, and intellectual history. The volume concludes with an analysis of the application of the concept in politics in the UK, debates between liberals and communitarianists, utopianism, and African philosophy. Contributors are: Niall Bond, Christopher Adair-Toteff, Daniel Alvaro, Alexander Wierzock, Sebastian Klauke, Antonin Cohen, Jan Buts, Stéphane Vibert, Rémi Astruc, Elisabeth Bouzonviller, Françoise Orazi, Andrew Vincent, Astrid von Busekist, Robert Kramm, and Thaddeus Metz.

Developing the Ministerial Mindset: a Global View
Author: Aliar Hossain
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1481789953
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
The change that new ministers experience upon entering government is immediate, one that is occasionally unexpected or for which they are unprepared, and it requires a radical transformation in their workload, in their responsibilities, and in the nature of their interaction with others. It is, in short, an uncompromising and sudden jolt to their lives. In an age when mankinds impact on the lives of others and on the environment is infinitely extended and enhanced, it is imperative that the preparation of ministers is addressedand this book, for the first time, aims to shine a light on the measures needed to bring the ministerial mind-set in line with the modern global economy and society. At the heart of this book lies the intention to increase ministerial capacity, responsibility, and judgment, through formal processes of training that will enable ministers to claim a greater grasp on the subject of their department and the techniques necessary to implement this knowledge. But more than this, it conveys the range of factors that require careful consideration when addressing the immensely important, but hitherto neglected, concept of the ministerial mind-set. It can be seen that what it encompasses strays onto such a variety of subjects and disciplines, that only through judgment and conscientiousness can ministers achieve the potential to which their position elevates them. In its conclusion, it is argued that the radical assembling of ministers across the world, under the auspices of the international community, is a necessary next step in achieving a step-change in the global approach to ministerial responsibility. By bringing together the ministers of the present, to share in the variety and unity of the work they undertake, it will be possible to create a readily identifiable body to support these and future ministers and to enhance the understanding of their role to which they have been assigned.

What About Us? Global Perspectives on Redressing Religious Inequalities
Author: Mariz Tadros
Publisher: Institute of Development Studies
ISBN: 1804700436
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
How can we make religious equality a reality for those on the margins of society and politics? This book is about the individual and collective struggles of the religiously marginalised to be recognised and their inequalities, religious or otherwise, redressed. It is also about the efforts of civil society, governments, multilateral actors, and scholars to promote freedom of religion or belief whatever shape they take. The actors and contexts that feature in this book are as diverse as health workers in Israel, local education authorities in Nigeria, indigenous movements in India, Uganda, or South Africa, and multilateral actors such as the Islamic Development Bank in Sudan and the World Bank in Pakistan. Some of the case studies engage with development discourses and narratives or are undertaken by development actors, while other cases operate completely outside the international development paradigm. These case studies present some important insights, which while highly relevant for their contexts also draw out important insights for academics, practitioners, activists, and others who have an interest in redressing religious inequalities for socioeconomically marginalised populations.
