One of the first books to focus on a city other than Edo during the Tokugawa era, this work extends our understanding of Japanese urban life during that period. Portraying Osaka as a regional center of government, vibrant economic life, and high and low culture, the book reveals much about the city's distinctiveness and development.

On National Socialism

On National Socialism
Uta Gerhardt, "On National Socialism "
English | ISBN: 1138512737 | 2017 | 357 pages | EPUB | 665 KB
During the years between the publication of the first of his two major works, The Structure of Social Action (1937), and the writing of his second, The Social System (1951), Talcott Parsons was primarily engaged in political activity through the Office of Strategic Services in its efforts to bring about the defeat of the Third Reich and to set the stage for a democratic reconstruction of postwar Germany. Beyond Parsons' analytic skills the essays reveal a dedicated liberal scholar, far removed from the stereotypes with which he came to be pilloried by later critics.

Oil in China From Self-Reliance to Internationalization
Oil in China: From Self-Reliance to Internationalization By Lim Tai Wei
2009 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 9814273767 | PDF | 1 MB
This book examines the political and conceptual metamorphosis of China's oil industry from self-reliance to internationalization. Through the empirical case study of Daqing, the premiere oilfield of the People's Republic of China (PRC) for most of the postwar period and a symbol of industrialization as well as self-reliance, key historical developmental concepts and events are analyzed. Japan's role in stimulating the development of the China's oil industry will also be highlighted as the Japanese government and its business sectors emerged as a supplier of technology and equipment to the Chinese oil industry as well as China's first major oil customer in the early internationalization phase of the PRC's oil industry.

Of Empires and Citizens Pro-American Democracy or No Democracy at All

Of Empires and Citizens Pro-American Democracy or No Democracy at All
Amaney A. Jamal, "Of Empires and Citizens: Pro-American Democracy or No Democracy at All?"
English | ISBN: 0691149658 | 2012 | 296 pages | EPUB | 864 KB
In the post-Cold War era, why has democratization been slow to arrive in the Arab world? This book argues that to understand support for the authoritarian status quo in parts of this region-and the willingness of its citizens to compromise on core democratic principles-one must factor in how a strong U.S. presence and popular anti-Americanism weakens democratic voices. Examining such countries as Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia, Amaney Jamal explores how Arab citizens decide whether to back existing regimes, regime transitions, and democratization projects, and how the global position of Arab states shapes people's attitudes toward their governments.

Occupying Subjectivity Being and Becoming Radical in the 21st Century

Occupying Subjectivity Being and Becoming Radical in the 21st Century
Chris Rossdale, "Occupying Subjectivity: Being and Becoming Radical in the 21st Century "
English | ISBN: 1138125067 | 2016 | 156 pages | EPUB | 467 KB
This book explores a variety of forms of radical political subjectivity. It takes its cue from the 2011 uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, the Occupy Movement and the European Anti-Austerity Movement, alongside the wider opposition to authoritarian and neoliberal forms of governance from which they sprang, in order to ask an urgent series of questions about the subject of radical politics: Who or what is it that engages in resistance? Who or what should they be? And how are we to negotiate the many complexities of that second question?
