Taylor & Francis The New Israel
Book SynopsisThe New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalization argues that the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace process will be expedited by increased economic liberalization. Israel has undergone dramatic economic change in the 1990s, shifting from a strongly protectionist, state-centered economy to a more international, ?neoliberal? one. The book maintains that these fundamental changes have in turn transformed Israeli society as a whole, resulting in a significant moderation of attitudes toward the Palestinian people and Palestinian nationalism. The New Israel contains contributions from both established Israeli sociologists and promising young scholars. The New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalization is an insightful commentary on one of the most crucial international issues of our time.Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Socioeconomic Liberalization of Israel -- A State-Centered Economy -- Challenges to Separatism: Joint Action by Jewish and Arab Workers in Jewish-Owned Industry in Mandatory Palestine -- The Ideological Wellspring of Zionist Capitalism: The Impact of Private Capital and Industry on the Shaping of the Dominant Zionist Ideology -- From “Eretz Yisrael Haovedet” to “Yisrael Hashniah”: The Social Discourse and Social Policy of Mapai in the 1950s -- Liberalization -- Economic Liberalization and the Breakup of the Histadrut’s Domain -- Liberalization and the Transformation of the Political Economy -- Change and Continuity in the Israeli Political Economy: Multi-Level Analysis of the Telecommunications and Energy Sectors -- The Great Economic-Juridical Shift: The Legal Arena and the Transformation of Israel’s Economic Order -- “The Promised Land of Business Opportunities:” Liberal Post-Zionism in the Glocal Age -- The Peace Process -- Peace and Profits: The Globalization of Israeli Business and the Peace Process -- Regional Cooperation and the MENA Economic Summits

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Women And Microcredit In Rural Bangladesh
Book SynopsisThe Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has been extending small loans to poor borrowers (primarily women) to promote self-employment and income generation since 1976. The apparent success of the Grameen Bank (that is, recruitment of clients, investment of loans, recovery rates on invested loans and profit margins) has made microcredit a new model for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Anthropological research results on Grameen Bank lending to women presented in this book, however, illuminates the link between the success of the bank and debt-cycling of borrowers. The priority of earning profits to insure institutional economic viability caused Bank employees at the grassroots level to emphasize increasing the number of loans disbursed and loan recovery. By using the joint liability model of lending, the Bank workers and borrowing peers impose intense pressure on clients for timely repayment. Many borrowers maintain their regular payment schedules, but do so through a process of Table of Contents* List of Figures * Preface * Acknowledgments * 1.
