Exhausted Ecologies Modernism and Environmental Recovery
Free Download Andrew Kalaidjian, "Exhausted Ecologies: Modernism and Environmental Recovery"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1108477917 | PDF | pages: 252 | 3.3 mb
This book evaluates twentieth century British and Global Anglophone literature in relation to the growth of ecological thinking in the United Kingdom. Restless modernists such as D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Djuna Barnes, and Jean Rhys developed a literary aesthetic of slowness and immediacy to critique the exhausting and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and industrial life. At the same time, environmental groups such as the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves and the Smoke Abatement League moved from economic registers of 'value' and 'trust' to more cultural terms of 'recovery' and 'regeneration' to position nature as a healing force in the postwar era. Through a variety of literary, scientific, and political texts, an environmental movement emerged alongside the fast, fragmented, and traumatic aspects of modernization in order to sustain place and community in terms of lateral influence and ecological dependence.

European Integration Sharing of Experiences
Free Download J. Oerstroem Moeller, J. Jrstrm Mller, "European Integration: Sharing of Experiences"
English | 2008 | pages: 545 | ISBN: 981230777X | PDF | 5,8 mb
A clear guide to current EU institutions, practices, and policies, this is also an informed insider's account of how they have emerged in their present form, with clues on future change. The mixture of analysis and history, description and prescription, works well, because the author has had a ringside seat, but retains a cool Nordic non-partisan detachment. The hints he offers to those, for example in Asia, considering following a similar path to regional integration, represent the distilled wisdom of a career in balancing economic benefits and national sensitivities. As his story shows, it can be done. - Lord Kerr, Former Head of the UK Diplomatic Service, now Chairman of Imperial College, London and Deputy Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell.

Encountering Islam The Politics of Religious Identities in Southeast Asia
Free Download Hui Foong Foong, "Encountering Islam: The Politics of Religious Identities in Southeast Asia"
English | 2012 | pages: 410 | ISBN: 9814379921 | PDF | 8,5 mb
This volume seeks to introduce and deepen the understanding of Islam and its role in politics as encountered in different national and transnational contexts in Southeast Asia, eschewing the neo-orientalist approach that has informed public discourse in recent years. In Encountering Islam, the book lingers beyond the summary moment and reflects on the multiple impressions, suppressions and repressions, whether coherent or incoherent, associated with Islam as a socio-political force in public life. To this end, it is not adequate simply to represent the divergent identities associated with Islam in Southeast Asia, whether embedded in state-endorsed orthodoxy or Islamic movements that contest such orthodoxy. It is also important to examine religious minorities in political contexts where Islam is dominant and Muslim communities in national contexts where they are minorities. By situating these religious identities within their larger socio-political contexts, this volume seeks to provide a more holistic understanding of what is encountered as Islam in Southeast Asia.

Electoral Dynamics in Malaysia Findings from the Grassroots
Free Download Meredith Leigh Weiss, "Electoral Dynamics in Malaysia: Findings from the Grassroots"
English | 2014 | pages: 271 | ISBN: 9670630088, 9814519111 | PDF | 5,7 mb
Malaysia's 13th general election, held 5th May 2013, saw an unprecedentedly close race between the incumbent Barisan Nasional (National Front, BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (People's Alliance, Pakatan) coalitions. For the first time in Malaysian history, a challenger coalition not only kept the BN from regaining the two-thirds parliamentary super-majority it had lost in the previous election, in 2008, but eked out a slim majority of the popular vote. While any Malaysian election is a big event, this one in particular merits close scrutiny. The present volume offers evidence and analysis with which to probe both the merits of common interpretations of who voted how, and why, and to suggest new readings of Malaysian electoral politics. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic research in constituencies nationwide, this exploration of campaign processes and promises breaks new ground in offering a grassroots view of a hotly-contested election. The volume offers a set of case studies of parliamentary and state-level contests, detailing campaign messages, strategies and apparent patterns. These case studies reveal both phenomena common across states and coalitions, and more region- or party-specific findings. Chapters examine the salience of deeply-penetrating partisan structures, including the specific roles of women in both coalitions' campaigns; flows of resources to and from candidates and voters, from targeted patronage and promises of development, to over-the-top advertisements, to anonymous donations; the place of both online and mainstream media; the importance for voter mobilisation of both identity-based and issue-oriented networks; and how the different campaign teams functioned on a day-to-day basis. These findings are valuable not only as a lens on an especially fraught fifteen days in Malaysian electoral history, but for what they reveal about identity, ideology and interests in Malaysian politics and society.

Education in Vietnam
Free Download Jonathan D. London, "Education in Vietnam"
English | 2011 | pages: 353 | ISBN: 9814279056 | PDF | 8,3 mb
Vietnam is a country on the move. Yet contemporary Vietnam's education system is at a crossroads. Rapid economic growth has permitted rapid increases in the scale and scope of formal schooling, but there is a prevailing sense that the current education system is inadequate to the country's needs. Sunny assessments of Vietnam's "achievements" in the sphere of education have given way to a realization that the country lacks skilled workers. Some have even spoken of an "education crisis". These are not abstract concerns. What is occurring in Vietnam's education system today has broad implications for the country's social, political, economic, and cultural development. Featuring contributions from scholars and policy analysts from within and outside Vietnam, Education in Vietnam addresses key issues pertaining to the political economy of education, the provision and payment for primary and secondary education, and the development of vocational and tertiary education. The book marks an important contribution to existing understandings of Vietnam's education system and contributes to broader understandings of social conditions and change in contemporary Vietnam.

EU Competition Law and Economics
Free Download Anne Layne-Farrar, Nicolas Petit, "EU Competition Law and Economics"
English | 2012 | pages: 650 | ISBN: 0199566569 | PDF | 4,5 mb
This is the first EU competition law treatise that fully integrates economic reasoning in its treatment of the decisional practice of the European Commission and the case-law of the European Court of Justice. Since the European Commission's move to a "more economic approach" to competition law reasoning and decisional practice, the use of economic argument in competition law cases has become a stricter requirement. Many national competition authorities are also increasingly moving away from a legalistic analysis of a firm's conduct to an effect-based analysis of such conduct, indeed most competition cases today involve teams composed of lawyers and industrial organisation economists.
