The Power of Interdependence - D. Kuranga - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Power of Interdependence - D. Kuranga - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Power of Interdependence challenges dominant views in global affairs, that individual countries maintain control over the international system. It advances an alternative possibility, that in fact, the power of individual countries is now being matched and at times consumed by the power of supranational organizations, which are international bodies made-up of several independent countries. The book uses detailed accounts, with insider classified data, of multinational interventions in select countries in Africa to demonstrate the shift in the global affairs. The text gives a rare look inside the inner-workings of coercive diplomacy in understudied area and new way of looking at our world.

Power or Pure Economics? - Joseph A. Schumpeter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Power or Pure Economics? - Joseph A. Schumpeter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This volume examines central questions about the nature of economic theory, its historical development and its explanatory power. What determines economic distribution - can pure economic theory itself explain the fundamentals of distribution or is a broader economics incorporating theories of power in society necessary? The book presents the debate through classic statements of each position from two leading economists of the century, Joseph A. Schumpeter and Yasuma Takata. A substantive introduction from Michio Morishima assesses and places in context the work of both Schumpeter and Takata.

American Power after the Berlin Wall - T. Henriksen - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

American Power after the Berlin Wall - T. Henriksen - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

American Power After The Berlin Wall traces the global projection of U.S. military power and political influence from the end of the Cold War to the present. Along with summarizing the Soviet Union''s disintegration, it narrates the ascendancy and reach of Washington''s global power in a string of conflicts from the Persian Gulf War to Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. The book vividly portrays U.S. policies of intervention, regime change, and even humanitarian assistance as responses to rogue states, civil strife, and militant Islam. It analyzes the transformation from Washington''s stability-first policies to its democracy promotion agenda in the Middle East, which threatens this crucial region with instability, necessitating a new grand strategy to confront terrorism and religiously motivated conflict.

Soviet Power and the Countryside - N. Melvin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Soviet Power and the Countryside - N. Melvin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Drawing upon extensive archival and other original sources, Soviet Power and the Countryside offers a new approach to understanding the political dynamics that led to the collapse of the Soviet order. A detailed analysis of the design, implementation and collapse of Soviet policy toward the countryside is used to explore the implications of a broadening of participation in the policy process from the 1960s. Neil J. Melvin argues that the new knowledge about rural society created as a result of this process provided the basis for a fundamental change in the nature of power relations in the Soviet order, leading to the decay and eventual collapse of policy making institutions.

'Moral Power' of the European Union in the South Caucasus - Syuzanna Vasilyan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

'Moral Power' of the European Union in the South Caucasus - Syuzanna Vasilyan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book devises a new conceptual framework of ''moral power'' and applies it to the policy of the European Union (EU) towards the South Caucasian states of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. It covers the period starting from the 1990s to the present and analyses policy domains (democracy promotion, conflict resolution, security, energy, trade) juxtaposing the policy of EU/member states with those of the United States (US), Russia, Turkey, Iran, as well as inter-governmental and regional organizations. ''Morality'' is unpacked as composed of seven parameters: consequentialism; coherence; consistency; normative steadiness; balance between values and interests; inclusiveness; and external legitimacy. ''Power'' is branched into ''potential'', ''actual'' and ''actualized'' types. ''Moral power'' is consequently developed as an objective and neutral framework to capture the foreign policy of an international actor in any geographic area and policy sphere. The book will be useful for students and scholars of International Relations and EU Studies, policy-makers and practitioners.

From Civilian Power to Superpower? - R. Whitman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

From Civilian Power to Superpower? - R. Whitman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

From Civilian Power to Superpower? asserts that a new, distinctive and significant actor has entered the international system. The text explores how the European Union has become a significant international actor without transforming itself into a nation-state. The international context, within which the Union now operates, and the instruments, now available at its disposal, have undergone a convergence to create circumstances in which the relative significance of the Union and its uniqueness in the international system has been enhanced.

State Power and Democracy - Andrew Kolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

State Power and Democracy - Andrew Kolin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Torture. Secret prisons. Wiretaps on Americans. Even with a new president in the White House, daily headlines contain disturbing revelations about how the United States conducts itself in the "war on terror." While other books have analyzed specific, shocking issues about the war on terror, there is a surprising disconnect in them: they don''t connect the actions of the George W. Bush administration to those of previous administrations. State Power and Democracy is the first to do that. It shows that the Bush police state didn''t commence when Bush was inaugurated. It proves, instead, that the seeds of an American police state can be traced all the way back to the founding of the republic.

Poland, Germany and State Power in Post-Cold War Europe - Stefan Szwed - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Poland, Germany and State Power in Post-Cold War Europe - Stefan Szwed - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the post-Cold War Polish-German relationship and the puzzling rise of foreign and security policy differences between the two states during the 2000s. Through an investigation of four policy issues - NATO''s out-of-area mandate, European Constitution and the division of voting power in the Council, relations with Russia and the eastern neighbours, as well as EU energy policy - the author identifies the roots of their conflict in a structure of material, spatial and temporal asymmetries. Rather than treat them as currency, however, he explores the less conspicuous ways in which power is exercised and structure matters inside a community governed by shared rules and norms. In pursuing its research question, theoretical work, historical reconstructions and empirical analyses, the book combines security studies, transatlantic relations, European integration, and Polish and German politics with general theorizing and conceptual grounding in international relations and political science.
