Preliminary Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2001
Comment Share
ECLAC

The severe slowdown in the world economy in 2001 cut short the recovery that had begun in 2000 and dashed hopes that Latin America and the Caribbean were about to embark upon a new growth cycle. Unlike the crises of the 1990s, which were confined to a limited group of countries, the slowdown of 2001 engulfed the region as a whole. The impact of the adverse international environment impinged upo…

Leitbilder der Alterssicherung : Deutschland und Niederlande im Vergleich
Comment Share
ZINGEL, Heribert

Der gegenwärtige Diskurs um den Umbau des Sozialstaates wird von Finanzierungs- und Leistungsaspekten dominiert. Fragen der Prinzipien, nach denen die Sicherungssysteme gestaltet sind oder gestaltet werden sollen, treten demgegenüber meist in den Hintergrund. Die vorliegende Studie versucht hier eine Lücke zu schließen: An historischem Material - von der Konstitution bis zur großen Reform …

The contradictions of modernisation run through the whole of modern Chinese history. The abundance of manufactured goods being sold in the west attests to China’s industrial revolution, but this capitalist vision of 'utopia' sits uneasily with traditional Chinese values. It is also in conflict with the socialism that has been the bedrock of Chinese society since the foundation of the Peopleâ€â€¦

Right Across the World : The Global Networking of the Far-Right and the Left …
Comment Share
FEFFER, John

In a post-Trump world, the right is still very much in power. Significantly more than half the world’s population currently lives under some form of right-wing populist or authoritarian rule. Today’s autocrats are, at first glance, a diverse band of brothers. But religious, economic, social and environmental differences aside, there is one thing that unites them - their hatred of the libera…

Feminist Solutions for Ending War
Comment Share
MACKENZIE, MeganWEGNER, Nicole

This book argues that this is possible, and is in fact already happening. Each chapter provides a solution to war using innovative examples of how feminist and queer theory and practice infor…
