  • Cambridge University Press Russian Politics Today

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAn accessible and nuanced introduction to contemporary Russian politics using the theme of stability versus fragility as its overarching framework. This innovative textbook explores core themes as well as path-breaking insights into the politics of race, class, gender, sexuality, and the environment.Trade Review'One of the most comprehensive compilations on Russian politics, this richly illustrated textbook that features outstanding contributions from well-known scholars will be of great value to students and teachers. It offers a holistic take on Russian politics going beyond key political institutions and power dynamics. Refreshingly, it covers issues that have been often neglected in mainstream accounts of Russian politics, offering new perspectives on race, class, gender, sexuality, and the environment. The power elite and the socially marginal, the metropolitan centers and the rural backwaters, all come together in this wonderful new volume to give us a nuanced set of perspectives as we grapple with the realities of an autocracy waging a brutal war in Ukraine.' Tomila Lankina, London School of Economics and Political Science'To gain a comprehensive, up-to-date, and historically grounded understanding of Russian politics, look no further than this book. This excellent volume brings together a group of experts offering useful and timely insights on key dimensions of Russian politics, economy, and society. Its unparalleled breadth and depth make it not only a great textbook, but also a must-read among scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in Russia.' Cheng Chen, University at Albany, State University of New York'The coverage of Russian Politics Today is fresh and current; the book includes topics previously overlooked in Russian politics textbooks, such as climate change, race, gender, and ethnicity, along with more standard topics like political institutions, economic development, and foreign policy. The chapters are topical, widely appealing, and provide an important focus on domestic social conditions and political dynamics. The book draws from an internationally diverse pool of well-known authors with deep expertise in their areas of focus.' Hilary Appel, Claremont McKenna College, California'Wengle has gathered a strong and internationally diverse group of authors, many representing the emerging generation of experts on Russia. They bring fresh perspectives to a wide range of topics, from key institutions and policy areas to such issues as racism and climate change. The volume has particular breadth of coverage about Russia's political economy, from the oligarchs to the country's marginalized. Each chapter provides discussion questions, and additional instructional materials are available online. With its prologue describing the invasion of Ukraine and the resulting changes in Russia's domestic politics and foreign policy, plus references to the war's impact in each relevant chapter, the volume will feel up to date to students. This is an invaluable resource for teaching a subject that is now as important as it has ever been.' William M. Reisinger,, University of Iowa'This is an outstanding textbook and an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in Russian politics. Containing chapters by leading experts, the book is comprehensive and up to date. The discussion is balanced, sophisticated, and also very readable.' Magnus Feldmann, University of Bristol'This textbook provides a rich, up-to-date overview of a refreshingly broad range of topics relating to Russian politics, economics, and society, from a diverse group of leading experts. The book will likely prove invaluable for those seeking engaging introductory analysis of Russia during a time of uncertainty and instability.' Ben Noble, University College London'This is an admirably comprehensive textbook that manages to convey the complexity of Russian politics while remaining highly accessible. If you're going to use a textbook in a course on Russia, this is the book to use! The volume brings together excellent authors, covers the most relevant topics, and will be useful to both beginning and more advanced students.'

  • The Idea of Development in Africa

    Cambridge University Press The Idea of Development in Africa

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Idea of Development in Africa challenges prevailing international development discourses about the continent, by tracing the history of ideas, practices, and ''problems'' of development used in Africa. In doing so, it offers an innovative approach to examining the history and culture of development through the lens of the development episteme, which has been foundational to the ''idea of Africa'' in western discourses since the early 1800s. The study weaves together an historical narrative of how the idea of development emerged with an account of the policies and practices of development in colonial and postcolonial Africa. The book highlights four enduring themes in African development, including their present-day ramifications: domesticity, education, health, and industrialization. Offering a balance between historical overview and analysis of past and present case studies, Elisabeth McMahon and Corrie Decker demonstrate that Africans have always co-opted, challenged, and reformeTrade Review'A smart, sweeping history that explores how colonial ideas about Africa and Africans - including moral imperatives, the inventions of 'tribes,' and scientific racism - shaped development paradigms and projects across the continent. The Idea of Development in Africa is a 'must-teach' book for courses on Africa and in development studies.' Dorothy Hodgson, Brandeis University'This refreshing and innovative study packs a double punch. First, it offers a bracing critique of the development industry, locating its roots deep within the colonial mind-set. Then it follows through with a brighter vision of Africa, one that emerges from the continent's own artists, thinkers, and leaders. A feast to which all are invited.' Gregory Mann, Columbia University'At last, an accessible book that explains the history of development as an idea - critical background for any students or practitioners interested in engaging with Africa's development today. The authors lay out the ways developmental thinking emerged globally alongside empire and colonialism, and how this way of thinking continues to impact the practice of development today. Smart and sophisticated, with helpful resources for additional reading and sidebars that delve more deeply into specific topics.' Jamie Monson, Michigan State University'Decker and McMahon's co-authored volume is the latest and most comprehensive compilation of the development concept or episteme in African history made accessible to students and practitioners alike.' Leslie Anne Hadfield, International Journal of African Historical Studies'… the book is thought provoking as it discusses known material in a new light … Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.' J. E. Weaver, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. Origins of the Development Episteme: 1. From Progress to Development; 2. Knowledge and the Development Episteme; 3.

    Book SynopsisWhy are poor countries poor and rich countries rich? How are wealth and poverty related to changes in health, life expectancy, education, population growth and politics? This non-technical introduction to development studies explores the dynamics of socio-economic development and stagnation in developing countries. Thoroughly updated and revised, this second edition includes new material on the effects of the 2008 financial crisis, the emergence of the BRICS economies, the role of institutions in development and the accelerated growth of economies in Africa and Asia. Taking a comparative approach, Szirmai places contemporary debates within their broader contexts and combines insights and theories from economics, economic history, political science, anthropology and sociology. Each chapter includes comparative statistics and time series for thirty-one developing countries. Assuming no prior knowledge of economics, this book is well-suited for students in interdisciplinary development stTrade Review'Professor Szirmai's fully revised edition of Socio-Economic Development is a tour de force. Grounded in economic history, it elegantly combines and integrates the modern development economics literature, careful empirical analysis, and illuminating country studies. Any serious student of long-run economic development, from the first-timer to those with decades of immersion in the subject, will want to have a copy of this encyclopedic yet accessible volume.' Hal Hill, H. W. Arndt Professor of Southeast Asian Economies, Australian National University'This is a scholarly and comprehensive treatment of development economics that is accessible to a wide range of social science and development studies students. Its treatment of health issues, education policy, and rural development, and its comprehensive data tables, are unsurpassed in the development economics field.' Kenneth A. Reinert, George Mason University, Virginia'The second edition of Adam Szirmai's book extends the author's ambitious effort to provide a nontechnical but comprehensive exposition of contemporary development thought and experience. The book deftly weaves together economic history, the history of thought, statistical data, country experiences, and contemporary economic analysis to provide a guide to the most important development questions … Through this work, the author has performed a signal service to all serious students of development, whether veteran or just starting.' Emmanuel S. de Dios, Asian Pacific Economic LiteratureReview of previous edition: This textbook … succeeds in achieving this aim in a comprehensive and masterly fashion. … The book is written in a lucid non-technical style and is attractively laid out. Szirmai's text is the best that I have read on this subject and should be extensively used as a core text on development courses in all universities.'

    Kumarian Press How the Aid Industry Works: An Introduction to

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisInternational development is big business. Official global aid flows from North to South are over $100 billion annually. China and India, former aid recipients, are rapidly entering the field as aid providers themselves, and international charity is being redefined with the resources of private donors like the Gates Foundation, for example, outstripping the annual budget of long-time donors like the UK, Canada or the World Health Organization. Lacking in the literature on international development is an introductory text that provides an overview of the practices of the 'business' of development. ""How the Aid Industry Works"" provides a basic description of what aid practices are and how they evolved. The arguments of both proponents and opponents of aid are presented and analyzed, along with real-life examples of projects and programs in context. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate students encountering the subject of development for the first time, the book also serves as an overview for development practitioners who want a handy reference covering the universe they inhabit.

    Book SynopsisThis lucidly written book, thoroughly updated, provides both an assessment of the current state of development theory and an extensive survey of the impact of evolving policies and practices throughout the developing world. Rapley critically traces the evolution of development theory from its strong statist orientation in the early postwar period, through the neoclassical phase, to the present emerging consensus on people-centered development. New to the third edition is a chapter on "postdevelopment" thought, as well as increased attention to the challenges posed by weak states and by critical environmental issues. Using a wide range of examples, Rapley shows where and how various approaches to development have worked or failed continuing to confront the question of why development remains so far out of reach for so many poor countries.Trade ReviewPraise for the previous editions:"Emphasizing a close link between development theory and the actual practice of economic policymaking, Rapley grounds the discussion in a way that will be much appreciated by both students and their instructors...[He] writes with a rare clarity." —Bruce E. Moon, American Political Science Review"Concise, yet all encompassing and meticulously referenced...Rapley's study is determined to unravel the intricacies of development practice across the third world and map out its intellectual roots. The project certainly succeeds in these goals." —Firooza Pavri, Progress in Development StudiesTable of Contents The Progress of Development. Development Theory in the Postwar Period.

    Apollo Publishers The Bonds We Share: Images of Humanity, 40 Years

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn extraordinary, life-affirming photos taken around the world—from developing villages to urban centers—over the last 40 years, a photographer makes the bold case that what unites us is more powerful than the borders that divide us. A portion of the proceeds for The Bonds We Share will benefit Doctors Without Borders. Hailed as “photography's new conscience,” photographer and psychiatrist Dr. Glenn Losack has spent a lifetime traveling the world, determined to extend healing, hope, and compassion. With a camera in hand, he goes places that tourists rarely visit, including slums, alleys, and dark streets. He's seen struggle, but he's also seen our shared humanity: families playing together, laborers working, the devout praying to their gods. Dr. Losack has found resilience, joy, passion, and celebration in communities the world over, even in places plagued with corrupt government, poor infrastructure, and disease. The 240 captivating photos in The Bonds We Share, taken in India, the Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Morocco, Peru, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Egypt, the United States, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere, serve as a remarkable retrospective of Dr. Losack's work and reveal an essential truth: we may come from very different cultures, far-ranging geographic corners, belief systems, and economic circumstances, but we all share the same desire to work hard, raise families, and lead fulfilling lives. In this spectacular volume, Dr. Losack interrogates timely notions of difference and portrays the commonality of people from different cultures around the globe.Trade Review“We may be separated by oceans, languages, and cultures, but we are all connected. Dr. Glenn Losack’s beautiful pictorial The Bonds We Share reminds us of our universal connection to one another through a series of stunning, personal, and often emotional images. Dr. Losack reminds us that we have so much more that joins us rather than separates us. In these faces from distant lands we can see much of ourselves. This is a joyful, celebratory collection.” —Jim Moret, author of The Last Day of My Life and chief correspondent of Inside Edition“Dr. Losack’s unforgettable photography in The Bonds We Share is exquisite and full of amazing, touching images which drive home the unquestionably powerful theme that people worldwide share a commonality in their daily lives. We all want a peaceful planet and a better, more meaningful future for our children. You will love this beautiful book and its profound, universal message.” —Rita Cosby, Emmy-winning journalist and best-selling author of Quiet Hero: Secret’s from My Father’s Past“I feel like I've just taken a trip around the world through Glenn's photographs. I am struck by the way he captures a world of different people in different places, illustrating that we are truly all the same. He shows us the amazing colors of life.” —May Pang, artist, former music executive, and author of Loving John and Instamatic Karma: Photos of John Lennon“Dr. Losack’s powerful photographs are not only stunning and poignant, but they also manage to reach deep into the soul and collective unconscious of his audience. He reminds us why we are here: to love, learn, and discover the beauty in one another. These are the bonds we all share and that show that we are all connected in this world.” —Dr. Jeff Gardere, psychologist, author, and contributor to Fox, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN“Glenn Losack has an unprecedented ability to peer into pain and find soul and beauty. His photography profoundly gives a voice to those who have no microphone.” —Alice Feiring, James Beard award-winning wine and travel writer and author of Naked Wine, For the Love of Wine, and Natural Wine for the People“A powerful and necessary message for our times, Dr. Losack’s work is massive, exquisite, and covers so many of life’s meaningful and evocative themes. He captures foreign cultures with an emotive awareness, and quite successfully involves his audience in this endeavor. Every photograph is depicted with care and grace.” —Dr. Robi Ludwig, author, psychotherapist, and TV personality“We have all heard the phrase, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ and the photographs in The Bonds We Share are absolutely breathtaking. Dr. Losack has certainly captured what makes us all commonly bonded in this powerful and optimistic book and shows that no matter who we are or where we’re from, we are more similar than different.” —Joan Lunden, award-winning journalist, best-selling author, former cohost of ABC’s Good Morning America, and host of PBS’s Second Opinion with Joan Lunden“A timely pictorial, The Bonds We Share shines a bright light on our innate similarities.” —Preferred Health magazine“This is most definitely the work of a master of the stunning snapshot.” —F-Stop Magazine“Losack finds the true colors of every population he visits, and transforms their daily struggles into a visual message of hope and compassion. An inspiring and thought-provoking addition to your photo library.” —Amex EssentialsTable of ContentsPreface 1: Devotion 2: Inheritance 3: Journey 4: Pastime 5: Connection 6: Resilience 7: Community
