В монографии на основе методологии системного исследования предпринята попытка теоретического описания культуры управления социально-политическими и экономическими процессами. Раскрыты мировоззренческие социокультурные и технологические факторы коммуникативного процесса, показана роль институтов гражданского общества и прежде всего СМИ в обеспечении управленческого процесса в социально-политической и экономической сферах.
В прошедшем столетии глобальная бедность чаще всего рассматривалась как техническая проблема, для которой необходимо найти правильное «экспертное» решение. Но слишком часто эксперты предлагали решения для сиюминутных проблем и не учитывали системных политических причин, которые вызывают эти сиюминутные проблемы. Более того, эксперты объединяются с «благожелательными диктаторами», так что у диктаторов оказывается еще больше власти для того, чтобы нарушать права бедных. В «Тирании экспертов» экономист Уильям Истерли, автор бестселлера «Бремя белых», рассказывает историю борьбы с глобальной бедностью и показывает, что такой подход не только губителен для личной свободы бедных, но его применение позволило заглушить голоса сторонников альтернативного подхода к борьбе с бедностью: подхода свободы. Истерли обсуждает множество новых научных открытий экономистов и утверждает, что лишь один новый подход к развитию – тот, который основан на уважении к личным правам людей в развивающихся странах...
Мира, в котором пользователи глобальной сети могли только читать информацию, больше нет. С каждым днем Интернет все больше становится сферой ведения бизнеса. Интернет-услуги, интернет-магазины, интернет-банкинг - и этот список пополняется. Потребитель стал более доступным, темп работы более ускоренным, товары и услуги продаются без торговых фирм, продавцы не видят покупателя и не тратят времени на операции погрузки-разгрузки товара. Виртуальные организации входят в нашу жизнь независимо от нашей воли и сознания. Все это рождает множество возможностей, но и множество проблем, начиная от дополнительных затрат на технологии и заканчивая совершенно новыми методами управления. По мнению авторов, эта книга - попытка отыскать "золотую середину". Виртуальные организации вполне реальны и действительно предоставляют массу преимуществ, особенно если относиться к этой идее прагматично и рассматривать их в качестве дополнения к существующим организациям, они скорее добавляют ценность, а...
There is an increasingly widespread belief, both within and outside the discipline, that modern economics is irrelevant to the understanding of the real world. Economics and Reality traces this irrelevance to the failure of economists to match their methods with their subject, showing that formal, mathematical models are unsuitable to the social realities economists purport to address. Tony Lawson examines the various ways in which mainstream economics is rooted in positivist philosophy and examines the problems this causes. It focuses on human agency, social structure and their interaction and explores how the understanding of this social phenomena can be used to transform the nature of economic practice. Economics and Reality concludes by showing how this newly transformed economics might set about shaping economic policy.
Tool for teaching Revised UCC Article 3 and 4 and related commercial paper. Coverage largely traditional (mostly negotiable instruments) but presentation is new. Every section is divided into three parts: A basic explanation of the law (the Story); that sets up cases and other primary sources (the Law); that are behind a logical and easy-to–teach set of problems (Practice). Each section is free – standing to allow instructors to pick and choose what to teach, using text, cases, problems or a combination of all. Chapters are designed to allow flexibility with respect to substance and individual method of teaching.
There is widespread concern that the explosive growth of the Internet is exacerbating existing inequalities between the information rich and poor. Digital Divide sets out to examine the evidence for access and use of the Internet in 179 nations across the world. A global divide is evident between industrialized and developing societies. A social divide is apparent between rich and poor within each nation. And within the online community, evidence for a democratic divide is emerging between those who do and do not use Internet resources to engage, mobilize and participate in public life.
How are changing gender relations shaping and being shaped by post-socialist marketization and liberalization? Do new forms of economic and cultural globalization open spaces for women's empowerment and feminist politics? The rapid social transformationsexperienced by the people of the Czech Republic in the wake of the collapse of communism in 1989 afford political scientist Jacqui True with an opportunity to answer these questions by examining political and gendered identities in flux. She argues that the privatization of a formerly state economy and the adoption of consumer-oriented market practices were shaped by ideas and attitudes about gender roles. Though finely tuned to the particular, local traditions that have defined the boundaries of globalization for Czech men and women, also offers a provocative general thesis about the inextricable linkages between political and economic changes and gender identities.
This volume combines a translation of substantial portions of one of the most important documents in the early history of Israel-the Government commission of inquiry concerning education in the immigrant camps, appointed in 1950-with analysis of the ensuing public debates and repercussions, and their meaning for Israeli society today. Using extensive historical research, Zameret traces the development of political and social processes in the early years of Israel's existence and points to their far-reaching and decisive implications for contemporary Israeli society, including the rise of Shas, the political party created by ultra-Orthodox Oriental Jews.

In this volume the reader will find interesting forms of analysis on Japan just as it was embarking on potentially the most important changes in its political system since 1955, when the Liberal Democratic Party was created through a merger of Japan's two dominant conservative parties of that era. With the old Cold War verities no longer in place, new challenges arose for the Japanese government and Japanese corporations. The challenges of the 1990s include a protracted domestic economic downturn, and the need to begin redefining Japan's international profile in the face of an increasingly powerful China, an ever more desperate North Korea, and shifts in the shared responsibility built into the US-Japan security treaty.
This study examines the extent to which the development and operation of social partnership at EU level can be explained in terms of the logic of self-interest, as opposed to factors such as the influence of ideas or of cultural or ideological values. International contributors present fresh and original data based on extensive research interviews with the main players, from the highest level through to those involved in the detail of the negotiations.
