Book Description
"During the past decade Canadian policy-makers have been forced to re-examine familiar forms of government and established programs in the face of growing budget deficits, economic instability, and a rapidly changing global economy. This collection of eighteen original essays presents a critical exploration of the question of political and economic restructuring from the vantage point of gender." "The authors argue that the present shift in the global order is revealing the contradictory effects of what is a dual process of both gender erosion and intensification. With the convergence of male and female job experiences in polarized labour markets, gender appears to be less important in understanding the global political economy; at the same time, gender becomes more of a determining factor in the transformation of politics and markets owing to the changing role of women as workers, care givers, and consumers." "The decline of the Keynesian welfare state has made claims-based politics less viable as a site of struggle for the women's movement. Not only has claims-based politics been replaced by a trend towards community and individual reliance, the women's movement itself has undergone a transformation that precludes a unitary, homogenous approach to policy and politics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Studies in Political Economy
Author: Caroline Andrew
Publisher: Canadian Scholars’ Press
ISBN: 0889614121
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This collection brings together a number of significant articles from the journal Studies in Political Economy (SPE) that illustrate feminist political economy, reflect on the ways in which political economy incorporates feminism, and examine the evolution of Canadian feminist analysis over the past twenty years. Studies in Political Economy: Developments in Feminism is intended to evoke several ideas: the ways in which political economy has thought about, reflected upon and integrated feminism; the ways in which feminist ideology has been particularly insightful in providing ways for thinking through some of the central issues for a grounded Canadian political economy; the relation of theory and practice; and the relation of actors and structures. Studies in Political Economy: Developments in Feminism is an invaluable teaching resource, as the articles are selected from across the twenty-year period of SPE's existence. Introductions contextualizing each section explain the inclusion of particular articles and how they fit into the development of feminist political economy.

Syntactic architecture and its consequences II
Author: András Bárány
Publisher: Language Science Press
ISBN: 3961102880
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
This volume collects novel contributions to comparative generative linguistics that “rethink” existing approaches to an extensive range of phenomena, domains, and architectural questions in linguistic theory. At the heart of the contributions is the tension between descriptive and explanatory adequacy which has long animated generative linguistics and which continues to grow thanks to the increasing amount and diversity of data available to us. The chapters address research questions in comparative morphosyntax, including the modelling of syntactic categories, relative clauses, and demonstrative systems. Many of these contributions show the influence of research by Ian Roberts and collaborators and give the reader a sense of the lively nature of current discussion of topics in morphosyntax and morphosyntactic variation.

Soviet Railways to Russian Railways
Author: J. Westwood
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230285872
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
In the postsoviet decade Russian railways remained highly centralised, evaded the upheavals of mass privatisation, and remained the backbone of a demoralised economy. Preserving much of Soviet practice, the Railways Ministry mounted a skilled rearguard action that achieved a gradual and considered adaptation to the market economy rather than the pell-mell, western-orientated, liberalisation that afflicted other branches of the economy. This book describes that rearguard action, and goes on to show how railway managers are coping with the new conditions.
