Book excerpt: Provides comprehensive coverage of major topics in urban and regional studies Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Anthony Orum, this definitive reference work covers central and emergent topics in the field, through an examination of urban and regional conditions and variation across the world. It also provides authoritative entries on the main conceptual tools used by anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, and political scientists in the study of cities and regions. Among such concepts are those of place and space; geographical regions; the nature of power and politics in cities; urban culture; and many others. The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Studies captures the character of complex urban and regional dynamics across the globe, including timely entries on Latin America, Africa, India and China. At the same time, it contains illuminating entries on some of the current concepts that seek to grasp the essence of the global world today, such as those of Friedmann and Sassen on ‘global cities’. It also includes discussions of recent economic writings on cities and regions such as those of Richard Florida. Comprised of over 450 entries on the most important topics and from a range of theoretical perspectives Features authoritative entries on topics ranging from gender and the city to biographical profiles of figures like Frank Lloyd Wright Takes a global perspective with entries providing coverage of Latin America and Africa, India and China, and, the US and Europe Includes biographies of central figures in urban and regional studies, such as Doreen Massey, Peter Hall, Neil Smith, and Henri Lefebvre The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Studies is an indispensable reference for students and researchers in urban and regional studies, urban sociology, urban geography, and urban anthropology.
Book Synopsis Internationalization of Law by : Marcelo Dias Varella
Download or read book Internationalization of Law written by Marcelo Dias Varella and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an overview of how international law is today constructed through diverse macro and microprocesses that expand its traditional subjects and sources, with the attribution of sovereign capacity and power to the international plane (moving the international toward the national). Simultaneously, national laws approximate laws of other nations (moving among nations or moving the national toward the international) and new sources of legal norms emerge, independent of states and international organisations. This expansion occurs in many subject areas, with specific structures: commercial, environmental, human rights, humanitarian, financial, criminal and labor law contribute to the formation of post national law with different modes of functioning, different actors and different sources of law that should be understood as a new complexity of law.
Book Synopsis Brazilian Authoritarianism by : Lilia Moritz Schwarcz
Download or read book Brazilian Authoritarianism written by Lilia Moritz Schwarcz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Brazil’s long history of racism and authoritarian politics has led to the country’s present crises and epidemic of violence Brazil has long nurtured a cherished national myth, one of a tolerant, peaceful, and racially harmonious society. A closer look at the nation's heritage, however, reveals a far more troubling story. In Brazilian Authoritarianism, esteemed anthropologist and historian Lilia Schwarcz presents a provocative and panoramic overview of Brazilian culture and history to demonstrate how the nation has always been staunchly authoritarian. It has papered over centuries of racially motivated cruelty and exploitation—sources of the structural oppression experienced today by its Black and Indigenous population. Linking the country’s violent past to its dire present, Schwarcz shows why the social democratic left was defeated and how Jair Bolsonaro ascended to the presidency. Schwarcz travels through five hundred years of colonial history to consider Brazil’s allegiance to slavery, which made it the last country to abolish the system. She delves into eight elements that pervade Brazil’s problematic culture: racism, bossism, patrimonialism, corruption, inequality, violence, gender issues, and intolerance. But Schwarcz also argues that Brazil’s future is not absolutely hopeless. History is not destiny, and even as the nation experiences its worst crises ever—social, political, moral, and environmental—it has the potential to overcome them. A stark, revealing investigation into Brazil’s difficult roots, Brazilian Authoritarianism shines a light on how the country might imagine a more hopeful path forward.
Book Synopsis Routes Into the Abyss by : Helmut Konrad
Download or read book Routes Into the Abyss written by Helmut Konrad and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the 1930s and the different reactions to the crisis, this volume offers a global comparative perspective that includes a comparison across time to give insight into the contemporary global recession. Germany, Italy, Austria and Spain with their antidemocratic, authoritarian or fascistic answers to the economic crisis are compared not only to an opposite European perspective – the Swedish example – but also to other global perspectives and their political consequences in Japan, China, India, Turkey, Brazil and the United States. The book offers no recipe for economic, social or political action in today’s recession, but it shows a wide range of reactions in the past, some of which led to catastrophe.

Book Synopsis Art and Utopia by : Jean-François Chevrier
Download or read book Art and Utopia written by Jean-François Chevrier and published by Actar, Museu D'Art Contemporani de Barcelona. This book was released on 2005 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970, Marcel Broodthaers claimed that Mallarma is the source of all contemporary art. Those words serve as a departure point for the exhibition and catalogue, Art and Utopia. Based on Marcel Broodthaers's interpretation of and Mallarma's influence on such seminal figures of modernity as Artaud and Apollinaire, this book reinterprets 20th century art, from Cubism to the historical avant-garde movements to the art of the 1970s, questioning the very idea of modernity. The information contained in this catalogue is highly varied--in addition to an essay by Jean-Francois Chevrier, the publication includes abundant documentary material, poetry, and other literary texts, as well as reproductions of the works from the exhibition.

Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Critical International Political Economy by : Alan Cafruny
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Critical International Political Economy written by Alan Cafruny and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the assumptions of ‘mainstream’ International Political Economy (IPE), this Handbook demonstrates the considerable value of critical theory to the discipline through a series of cutting-edge studies. The field of IPE has always had an inbuilt vocation within Historical Materialism, with an explicit ambition to make sense, from a critical standpoint, of the capitalist mode of production as a world system of sometimes paradoxically and sometimes smoothly overlapping states and markets. Having spearheaded the growth of a vigorous critical scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s, however, Marxism and neo-Gramscian approaches became increasingly marginalized over the course of the 1980s. The authors respond to the exposure of limits to mainstream contemporary scholarship in the wake of the onset of the Global Financial Crisis, and provide a comprehensive overview of the field of Critical International Political Economy. Problematizing socioeconomic and political structures, and considering these as potentially transitory and subject to change, the contributors aim not simply to understand a world of conflict, but furthermore to uncover the ways in which purportedly objective analyses reflect the interests of those in positions of privilege and power.

Book excerpt: Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) was an English writer and humorist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). The New Utopia is a short story in which the author describes his dream about a socialist society.

Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886) and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat; and several other novels.
