Taylor & Francis Ltd Regional Culture and Economic Development
Book SynopsisFrom an interdisciplinary perspective based primarily on European ethnology and political economy, this book explores issues and concepts concerning the link between culture and economy. A historical introduction to key theoretical problems is followed by five empirical chapters discussing aspects of development in rural as well as urban locations. The author considers local leadership, looking in particular at part-time farming, counter-urban migration, and pluriactivity. The classification of informal economy is illustrated with examples drawn from fieldwork, and urban poverty and migration are each explored in detail. A discussion of heritage and identity as a resource for development questions whether the concern with the authenticity of culture(s) may be an inappropriate approach to take. The book concludes with a theoretical reflection on the problematic of culture and economy and a call for a return to the roots of European ethnology as an essentially political science.Trade Review'Conceptualizing a European ethnology requires differentiated local knowledge on the numerous national ethnologies, their histories, institutional situations, relationships to state and society, and their comparative aspirations. The parallel yet divergent histories assembled here assist in generating the kind of reflexivity needed as we work toward an intellectually shared sense of European ethnology and presents information researched by local ethnologists to a wider readership.' Regina Bendix, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany 'Edited by three of the leading voices in European ethnology today, this challenging book brings together an impressive team of international contributors to explore the the dynamics of Europe's regional ethnologies. Deploying carefully chosen case studies, the volume illuminates key issues of everyday life In Europe. It will be welcomed by all with an interest in European ethnology, past, present and future.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Study of European Ethnology in Austria
Book SynopsisThe study of ethnology or 'Volkskunde' in Austria has had a troubled past. Through most of the 20th century it was under the influence of the so-called Viennese 'Mythological School' and the controversy between the two opposing branches, the 'Ritualist' and the 'Mythologists'', set much of the agenda from the 1920s until long after the World War ended in 1945. The volume examines two Austrian characters, Richard Wolfram and Karl Haiding, and the impact of their research and sets them in the context of Austrian ethnology before, during and after the war years. The book concludes by examining the present day ethnological outlook in the country.Trade Review'Based largely on recently opened archives, interviews, and intense new research, Dow and Bockhorn offer an intriguing account of the development of Austrian folkloristics and related fields of great interest to students of the history of humanistic disciplines and of intellectual history generally...Dow and Bockhorn have provided here rich and complex basic materials for a variety of future researchers.' Professor Joseph Harris, Harvard University, USA 'This very thorough study, solidly based on archival as well as published sources, is an outstanding contribution both to folkloristics and the history of the scholarly social sciences in the German-speaking countries. The authors are to be thanked for providing us with another in the series of books which greatly revise and extend the history of the topic...' Dr Stephen D. Corrsin, Wayne State University, USA 'No doubt, this study of the history of Austrian Volkskunde will, by its nature, appeal to expert folklorists...Highly informative and eminently readable, the volume is an important contribution to the understanding of 20th century Austria.'

Taylor & Francis International Organization The Library of Essays
Book SynopsisFor well over a century, international organizations have been central to the study and practice of international relations and global governance. But how much and how do they help, hinder or otherwise alter the behaviour of the actors who utilize them and provide public goals for the global community as a whole? By assembling the leading works that have defined the scholarly field of international organization from realist, liberal institutionalists, constructivists and political economy traditions, this work examines the many organizations which have formed, in ever-expanding numbers and fields, over the years, the degree to which they have succeeded and their future potential. It looks at the changing international arena, particularly with the expansion of civil society and how that affects the role of such organizations. Has a formula for an effective and successful international organization developed or will one have to wait for the next generation of organizations, institutions and regimes?Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Overviews of the Field: International organization: a state of the art on an art of the state, Friedrich Kratochwil and John Gerard Ruggie; Theories and empirical Studies of international institutions, Lisa L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd New Critical Writings in Political Sociology
Book SynopsisIn the third and final volume of this series, we examine the implications of the accelerating globalization process for the nation-state. Are globalization, the rise of regional and international institutions, and the international agreements on human rights actually reducing and transforming state sovereignty? Clearly ethnic, racial, and religious identities remain salient, but how do they correspond to, intersect with, and overflow continuous nation-state spaces that are demarcated by legally recognized borders? In what conditions do democratic state-building projects actually enhance political, civil, and social rights, and when do they tend to contribute to the consolidation of elite power? Should democratic forces put their faith in a cosmopolitan vision of global citizenship, especially when they tackle quintessentially international and transnational problems like peace, aboriginal rights, and the protection of the environment?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime and Globalization International Library of
Book SynopsisThis collection spans two decades of cutting-edge thinking on globalization and crime. The selected articles confront criminological with interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, political science and economics, and demonstrate how globalization has changed manifestations of crime and decisively re-shaped the criminological imagination as well as criminology's theories, concepts and methodologies. The specially written introduction provides an innovative framework for insights into the manifestations of globalising crime, such as urban development in Mumbai, human rights talk of Brazilian gangs, gemstone mining in Madagascar, and the 'crimes of exclusion' in the US and Darfur. This volume is ideal for both lecturers and students as it brings together influential foundational writings with in-depth studies from the best authors in the field and from all parts of the world.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Globalization and Crime: Charting New Territory: Globalization: sources and effects on national states and societies, John W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ethnology Myth and Politics Anthropologizing
Book SynopsisThe book offers a critical overview of Croatian ethnology written by the most prominent Croatian ethnologist/ anthropologist in the second half of the 20th century - Dunja Rihtman-Augustin (recently deceased). She was the first Croatian ethnologist to break with the long established tradition of diffusionist (culture area) studies of her contemporaries and start to anthropologize Croatian ethnology. This book, compiled and completed by Jasna Capo Zmegac, highlights some crucial remarks with regard to the relationship between ethnology and politics. They are formulated as a series of research questions and problems, including: the role of folk culture as mythomoteur, cannonization of the folk culture, nationalization of the peasants in the 19th century and the role of ethnology. This vividly written text offers an exceptional insight into Croatian ethnological developments in the past century, as well as into crucial ruptures in Croatian society which have had important repercussions onTrade Review’This book should be included on a list of readings for any graduate student in anthropology or political science anticipating research in Croatia.’ Slavic Review '...presents a wonderful insight into Croatian ethnology and anthropology...the essays are brilliant exercises in historical sketches combined with Rihtman-Augustin's impressive knowledge.'

Book SynopsisHow has globalisation affected educational thought and practice? This volume presents a fascinating exploration of the impact of globalisation on education. The authors consider the changes - sometimes subtle, sometimes revolutionary - that arise when ideas, practices and experiences are discussed and analysed by people of contrasting cultural backgrounds.

Key areas of discussion include: The effects of globalisation on individuals The contradictions embedded in the process of globalisation - especially in the economic sphere The impact on education of globalising ideas, thoughts and values The relationship between globalisation and culture.Trade Review’At a time when globalization in its many different forms touches all aspects of society, this volume provides explanations of the process and mature judgements on the consequences.
