Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as the first millennium A.D., the Philippine archipelago formed the easternmost edge of a vast network of Chinese, Southeast Asian, Indian, and Arab traders. Items procured through maritime trade became key symbols of social prestige and political power for the Philippine chiefly elite. Raiding, Trading, and Feasting presents the first comprehensive analysis of how participation in this trade related to broader changes in the political economy of these Philippine island societies. By combining archaeological evidence with historical sources, Laura Junker is able to offer a more nuanced examination of the nature and evolution of Philippine maritime trading chiefdoms. Most importantly, she demonstrates that it is the dynamic interplay between investment in the maritime luxury goods trade and other evolving aspects of local political economies, rather than foreign contacts, that led to the cyclical coalescence of larger and more complex chiefdoms at various times in Philippine history. A broad spectrum of historical and ethnographic sources, ranging from tenth-century Chinese tributary trade records to turn-of-the-century accounts of chiefly "feasts of merit," highlights both the diversity and commonality in evolving chiefly economic strategies within the larger political landscape of the archipelago. The political ascendance of individual polities, the emergence of more complex forms of social ranking, and long-term changes in chiefly economies are materially documented through a synthesis of archaeological research at sites dating from the Metal Age (late first millennium B.C.) to the colonial period. The author draws on her archaeological fieldwork in the Tanjay River basin to investigate the long-term dynamics of chiefly political economy in a single region. Reaching beyond the Philippine archipelago, this study contributes to the larger anthropological debate concerning ecological and cultural factors that shape political economy in chiefdoms and early states. It attempts to address the question of why Philippine polities, like early historic kingdoms elsewhere in Southeast Asia, have a segmentary political structure in which political leaders are dependent on prestige goods exchanges, personal charisma, and ritual pageantry to maintain highly personalized power bases. Raiding, Trading, and Feasting is a volume of impressive scholarship and substantial scope unmatched in the anthropological and historical literature. It will be welcomed by Pacific and Asian historians and anthropologists and those interested in the theoretical issues of chiefdoms.

Download or read book The Trading States of the Oil Rivers written by G. I. Jones and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2000 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid account of the rise of the remarkable slave and palm oil trading states in the Niger delta in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries also analyses the relation of political development to economic change. The author's field studies among the Ijo, Ibibio, and Ibo peoples have made possible an analysis of the essential processes of economic and political transformation which lay behind the oral traditions. There are also detailed and often lively accounts of the European traders. The study concentrates on the two principal Oil Rivers states which nineteenth century writers called New Calabar and Grand Bonny. For purposes of comparison the adjacent states of Brass (Nem?) and Okrika, the Andoni peoples and the Efik state known to Europeans as Old Calabar are also examined. The study ends in 1884, the year that marks the beginning of the Brithsh Protectorate government and with it the end of indigenous systems of government which characterised these Oil River States during the nineteenth century. The monarchies established in the eighteenth century by King Pepple of Bonny and King Armakiri of Kalabari and the political and economic organisations developed under their rule were coming to, or had already come to, an end, with new oligarchies developing in their place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: River Restoration River restoration initiatives are now widespread across the world. The research efforts undertaken to support them are increasingly interdisciplinary, focusing on ecological, chemical, physical as well as societal issues. River Restoration: Political, Social, and Economic Perspectives provides a comprehensive overview of research in the field of river restoration in humanities and the social sciences. It illustrates how, in the last thirty years or so, such approaches have evolved and strengthened within the restoration sciences. The scientific community working in this domain has structured itself, often regionally and circumstantially, to critically assess and improve restoration policies and practices. As a research field, river restoration tackles three thematic axes: Human-river interactions – especially perceptions and practices of rivers, and how these interactions can be changed by restoration projects Political processes, with a particular interest in governance and decision-making, and a specific emphasis on the question of public participation in restoration projects Evaluation of the social and economic benefits of river restoration River Restoration: Political, Social, and Economic Perspectives encompasses these three topics, and more, to provide the reader with the most up-to-date and holistic view of this constantly evolving area. The book will be of particular interest to human and social scientists, biophysical scientists (hydrologists, geomorphologists, ecologists), environmental scientists, public policy makers, design or planning officers, and anyone working in the field of river restoration.

Book excerpt: Entirely updated in the light of the recent World Commission on Dams Report, and responding to it, this new edition of Patrick McCully's now classic study shows why large dams have become such a controversial technology in both industrialized and developing countries. The book explains the history and politics of dam building worldwide and shows why large dams have become so controversial. It details the ecological and human impacts of large dams, and shows how the 'national interest' argument is used to legitimize uneconomic and unjust projects which benefit elites while impoverishing tens of millions, describes the technical, safety and economic problems of dam technology, the structure of the international dam-building industry, and the role played by international banks and aid agencies. It tells the story of the rapid growth of the international anti-dam movement, and recounts some of the most important anti-dam campaigns around the world. McCully shows how the dam lobby and governments have reacted to criticism by cosmetic 'greening' of the dam-building process, and through state repression outlines the alternatives to dams, and argues that their replacement by less destructive alternatives requires the opening up of the industry's practices to public scrutiny.

Download or read book "the Entire Trade to Themselves" written by Erin Kramer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation identifies and analyzes the distinct political economy that made Albany, New York (originally the Dutch settlement of Beverwijck) central to the development of the upper Hudson River region. Historians have long gestured toward Albany's significance as a hub of trade, imperial conflict, and diplomacy at the turn of the eighteenth century, but explanation for its rise to prominence remains murky because scholars tend to concentrate on either the Dutch (1609-1664) or English periods of rule, thereby segmenting a narrative that is better understood by connecting them. This telling bifurcates the story into an era of Dutch commercial imperialism followed by English settler colonialism, with Indigenous people responding to different patterns of encounter. This dissertation, to the contrary, recognizes similarities in how Haudenosaunee peoples (Iroquois) interacted with different groups of Europeans, revealing marked continuity throughout the seventeenth century. Expanded across a broader chronology, Albany's story becomes a narrative of three interconnected but often antagonistic groups: Mohawks (the easternmost members of the Iroquois "Longhouse"), elite merchants who served as magistrates and key diplomats, and poor/middling traders. When their interests overlapped, these groups formed unsteady partnerships, but they also perpetually contested one another's authority to govern the fur trade and the diplomacy that underpinned it. Such contests reached into the most intimate spaces of encounter-debating the minutiae of where, when, and between whom interactions might occur-yet their effects reverberated throughout empires and profoundly shaped Indigenous and imperial politics. This analysis of Albany's political economy and regulated intimacy encourages rethinking the dynamics of Anglo-Haudenosaunee alliance. Albany became a central space because it was contested; the fluctuations of elite consolidation, Mohawk interests, and the protests of poor/middling traders forged an unlikely balance of authority that bolstered imperial projects and created what one Haudenosaunee diplomat called the "ancient house" of Albany: a site where disagreements could be negotiated and intimate encounters persisted on the margins. The "ancient house" did not appear suddenly as a result of English conquest in 1664 or Haudenosaunee neutrality after 1701; it was constructed by diverse peoples with competing interests over a century of encounter, diplomacy, and exchange.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade often inspires intense conflict between workers and their employers. In this book, Adam Dean studies the conditions under which labor and capital collaborate in support of the same trade policies. Dean argues that capital-labor agreement on trade policy depends on the presence of 'profit-sharing institutions'. He tests this theory through case studies from the United States, Britain, and Argentina in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries; they offer a revisionist history placing class conflict at the center of the political economy of trade. Analysis of data from more than one hundred countries from 1986 to 2002 demonstrates that the field's conventional wisdom systematically exaggerates the benefits that workers receive from trade policy reforms. From Conflict to Coalition boldly explains why labor is neither an automatic beneficiary nor an automatic ally of capital when it comes to trade policy and distributional conflict.
