Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis by : Robert E. Goodin
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis written by Robert E. Goodin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-20 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbooks of Political Science is a ten-volume set of reference books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state of political science. Each volume focuses on a particular part of the discipline, with volumes on Public Policy, Political Theory, Political Economy, Contextual Political Analysis, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Law and Politics, Political Behavior, Political Institutions, and Political Methodology. The project as a whole is under the General Editorship of Robert E. Goodin, with each volume being edited by a distinguished international group of specialists in their respective fields. The books set out not just to report on the discipline, but to shape it. The series will be an indispensable point of reference for anyone working in political science and adjacent disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis sets out to synthesize and critique for the first time those approaches to political science that offer a more fine-grained qualitative analysis of the political world. The work in the volume has a common aim in being sensitive to the thoughts of contextual nuances that disappear from large-scale quantitative modelling or explanations based on abstract, general, universal laws of human behavior. It shows that 'context matters' in a great many ways: philosophical context matters; psychological context matters; cultural and historical contexts matter; place, population, and technology all matter. By showcasing scholars who specialize in the analysis of all these contexts side-by-side, the Oxford Handbook of Contextual Political Analysis shows how political scientists can take those crucial contextual factors systematically into account.

It will serve as the reference book of record for political scientists and for those following their work for years to come.
Book Synopsis Asia in Washington by : Kent E. Calder
Download or read book Asia in Washington written by Kent E. Calder and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several centuries, international relations has been primarily the purview of nation-states. Key powers have included at various times Great Britain, France, Japan, China, Russia (then the U.S.S.R., and then Russia again), and the nation most influential in international relations for the past several decades has been the United States. But in a world growing smaller, with a globalizing system increasing in complexity by the day, the nation-state paradigm is not as dominant as it once was. In Asia in Washington, longtime Asia analyst Kent Calder examines the concept of “global city” in the context of international affairs. The term typically has been used in an economic context, referring to centers of international finance and commerce such as New York, Tokyo, and London. But Calder extends the concept to political centers as well—particularly in this case, Washington, D.C. Improved communications, enhanced transportation, greater economic integration and activity have created a new economic village, and global political cities are arising within the new structure—distinguished not by their CEOs or stock markets but by their influence over policy decisions, and their amassing of strategic intelligence on topics from national policy trends to geopolitical risk. Calder describes the rise of Washington, D.C., as perhaps the preeminent global political city—seat of the world’s most powerful government, center of NGO and multilateral policy activity, the locale of institutions such as the World Bank and IMF, and home to numerous think tanks and universities. Within Washington, the role of Asia is especially relevant for several reasons. It represents the core of the non-Western industrialized world and the most challenge to Western dominance. It also raises the delicate issue of how race matters in international global governance—a factor crucially important during a time of globalization. And since Asia developed later than the West, its changing role in Washington raises major issues regarding how rising powers assimilate themselves into global governance structure. How do Asian nations establish, increase, and leverage their Washington presence, and what is the impact on Washington itself and the decisions made there? Kent Calder explains it all in Asia in Washington.

Download or read book Urban Ecology written by John Marzluff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-03 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Ecology is a rapidly growing field of academic and practical significance. Urban ecologists have published several conference proceedings and regularly contribute to the ecological, architectural, planning, and geography literature. However, important papers in the field that set the foundation for the discipline and illustrate modern approaches from a variety of perspectives and regions of the world have not been collected in a single, accessible book. Foundations of Urban Ecology does this by reprinting important European and American publications, filling gaps in the published literature with a few, targeted original works, and translating key works originally published in German. This edited volume will provide students and professionals with a rich background in all facets of urban ecology. The editors emphasize the drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlement. The papers they synthesize provide readers with a broad understanding of the local and global aspects of settlement through traditional natural and social science lenses. This interdisciplinary vision gives the reader a comprehensive view of the urban ecosystem by introducing drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlements and the relationships between humans and other animals, plants, ecosystem processes, and abiotic conditions. The reader learns how human institutions, health, and preferences influence, and are influenced by, the others members of their shared urban ecosystem.
Book Synopsis Capital Cities: Varieties and Patterns of Development and Relocation by : Vadim Rossman
Download or read book Capital Cities: Varieties and Patterns of Development and Relocation written by Vadim Rossman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of capital city relocation is a topic of debate for more than forty countries across the world. In this first book to discuss the issue, Vadim Rossman offers an in-depth analysis of the subject, highlighting the global trends and the key factors that motivate different countries to consider such projects, analyzing the outcomes and drawing lessons from recent capital city transfers worldwide for governments and policy-makers. Capital Cities studies the approaches and the methodologies that inform such decisions and debates. Special attention is given to the study of the universal patterns of relocation and patterns specific to particular continents and mega-regions and particular political regimes. The study emphasizes the role of capital city transfers in the context of nation- and state-building and offers a new framework for thinking about capital cities, identifying six strategies that drive these decisions, representing the economic, political, geographic, cultural and security considerations. Confronting the popular hyper-critical attitudes towards new designed capital cities, Vadim Rossman shows the complex motives that underlie the proposals and the important role that new capitals might play in conflict resolution in the context of ethnic, religious and regional rivalries and federalist transformations of the state, and is seeking to identify the success and failure factors and more efficient implementation strategies. Drawing upon the insights from spatial economics, comparative federalist studies, urban planning and architectural criticism, the book also traces the evolution of the concept of the capital city, showing that the design, iconography and the location of the capital city play a critical role in the success and the viability of the state.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Capital Cities by : Heike Mayer
Download or read book The Political Economy of Capital Cities written by Heike Mayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital cities that are not the dominant economic centers of their nations – so-called ‘secondary capital cities’ (SCCs) – tend to be overlooked in the fields of economic geography and political science. Yet, capital cities play an important role in shaping the political, economic, social and cultural identity of a nation. As the seat of power and decision-making, capital cities represent a nation’s identity not only through their symbolic architecture but also through their economies and through the ways in which they position themselves in national urban networks. The Political Economy of Capital Cities aims to address this gap by presenting the dynamics that influence policy and economic development in four in-depth case studies examining the SCCs of Bern, Ottawa, The Hague and Washington, D.C. In contrast to traditional accounts of capital cities, this book conceptualizes the modern national capital as an innovation-driven economy influenced by national, local and regional actors. Nationally, overarching trends in the direction of outsourcing and tertiarization of the public-sector influence the fate of capital cities. Regional policymakers in all four of the highlighted cities leverage the presence of national government agencies and stimulate the economy by way of various locational policy strategies. While accounting for their secondary status, this book illustrates how capital-city actors such as firms, national, regional and local governments, policymakers and planning practitioners are keenly aware of the unique status of their city. The conclusion provides practical recommendations for policymakers in SCCs and highlights ways in which they can help to promote economic development.
Book Synopsis Emergency Policy by : Allan McConnell
Download or read book Emergency Policy written by Allan McConnell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of leading scholarly articles addresses the international dynamics of emergency policy and practice. In a world of increasing technological, economic and political interdependency, it is no longer feasible for states to ignore the pervasive influence of globalisation. The crises wrought by industrial disasters, catastrophic weather events, pandemics, financial implosion and cyber intrusion now transcend and challenge national interests with increasing frequency. The case-studies collected here explore these global dimensions of crisis and the state through the lenses of planning and prevention, acute responses, recovery and reconstruction, and learning about crisis. This collection is essential reading for academics, policy officials and practitioners with an interest in emergency management, risk management and issues of national/global security. In original introductory and concluding chapters to the volume, Legrand and McConnell provide a critical perspective on the challenges that globalisation presents to policymakers under crisis conditions and signposts some of the emerging challenges to the state and international community.

Book Synopsis Global Cities in Schwellenländern am Beispiel lateinamerikanischer Städte by : Felix Zimmermann
Download or read book Global Cities in Schwellenländern am Beispiel lateinamerikanischer Städte written by Felix Zimmermann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevölkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Note: 1,0, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts einsetzenden Prozesse „wirtschaftlicher Globalisierung“ verursachten überregionale Machtverschiebungen, aus denen sich im Laufe der Zeit die Städte als bedeutende wirtschaftliche Zentren herauskristallisierten. Auf der Basis einer umfassenden Technologisierung von Produktions- und Arbeitsverfahren auf internationaler Ebene entwickelten sich dabei Unternehmen zu internationalen Akteuren, deren Handeln je nach Zielsetzung von jenen Orten gesteuert wird, welcher dafür die geeigneten Voraussetzungen bieten. In Folge eines schrittweisen Rückzugs politischer Entscheidungsträger aus dem schnell wachsenden globalisierter Finanz- und Unternehmensdienstleistungen, nahm der Machtbereich einiger weniger, den Weltmarkt dominierender Konzerne, unermessliche Ausmaße an. Durch die Liberalisierung des Welthandels wuchs auch die Rolle der Städte in einzelnen Sektoren der Wirtschaft. Mit fortschreitender Globalisierung und unter dem Einfluss politischer bzw. struktureller Transformationsprozesse, konnten sich nun auch die urbanen Zentren in „Schwellenländern“ innerhalb des Weltmarktgeschehens etablieren. Wenngleich keinerlei Zweifel über die grundlegende Dominanz der Industrienationen im Bereich der Globalwirtschaft besteht, wirft die „neue“ Machtkonzentration in den Städten die Frage auf, welche spezifische Rolle die Städte des „Südens“3 im weltumspannenden Verlauf von Informations- und Finanzströmen spielen; dies umso mehr, als dass sich Globalisierung determinatorisch auf die Lebensweise/-fähigkeit eines jeden Individuums auswirkt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll daher am Beispiel Lateinamerikas die Integration bzw. Nichtintegration von Städten der Schwellenländer in den Globalisierungsprozess erläutert werden. Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass diese Städte auf ganz spezielle Weise in den Globalisierungsprozess eingebunden sind und diesbezüglich gemeinsame Charakteristika aufweisen, wird die These vertreten wonach „die“ lateinamerikanische global city also solche existiert. Dabei gilt es zunächst, den Begriff der „global city“ zu erfassen, um anschließend auf eine eventuelle Erfüllung der Definitionskriterien anhand einer Städteauswahl zu überprüfen. Grundlegend für diese Auswahl ist das Heranziehen eines global city–Rankings, bei dessen Erstellung die entsprechenden Kriterien im Vordergrund standen. Im Anschluss an die Klärung der Frage, inwieweit die Städte Lateinamerikas global city – Funktionen erfüllen, konzentriert sich...
Book Synopsis The Limits Of Globalization by : Alan Scott
Download or read book The Limits Of Globalization written by Alan Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the force and the limitations of the globalizing forces operating in the world today can best be understood through an analysis of their concrete manifestations. Using examples from the people's art of Potsdammer Platz to the ways in which Western cultural icons are reinterpreted in Asian magazines, this collection of essays unpicks the rhetoric of globalization in political analysis, cultural theory and urban and economic sociology and exposes the myth of the global society as in many cases a dangerous exaggeration.
