Book What Comes After Nations

Download or read book What Comes After Nations written by Harvey Garver and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT COMES AFTER NATIONS? The right question for these turbulent times. Much of this turmoil is a result of the conflict between nations around the world. Nations and nationalism are the most recent form of governance; however, while their numbers and sovereign powers increased over time, in today’s world, every nation’s sovereignty is under assault by powerful global forces. Humanity’s history is not just a collection of chance events; but instead, a long series of focused episodes that saw societies advance from wandering-hunter-gatherers back in the Stone Age, to farmers, to developers of cities, empires, and nations. Harvey Garver explores how humanity’s development has been motivated, guided and energized by the world’s orthodox religions, and explains how The Baha’i Faith, and its belief in Progressive Revelation, reveals a new spiritual principle leading to a burgeoning worldwide society with peace and prosperity for all humanity. Our ever-advancing civilization is leading us beyond our current immature and turbulent world, eventually and inevitably climaxing with the development of God’s Kingdom on Earth as the mature, ultimate, and highest level of society.

Book Why Nations Fail

Download or read book Why Nations Fail written by Daron Acemoglu and published by Currency. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.

Book Imagined Communities

Download or read book Imagined Communities written by Benedict Anderson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the imagined communities that compel men to kill or to die for an idea of a nation? This notion of nationhood had its origins in the founding of the Americas, but was then adopted and transformed by populist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. It became the rallying cry for anti-Imperialism as well as the abiding explanation for colonialism. In this scintillating, groundbreaking work of intellectual history Anderson explores how ideas are formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, and the way that they can make people do extraordinary things. In the twenty-first century, these debates on the nature of the nation state are even more urgent. As new nations rise, vying for influence, and old empires decline, we must understand who we are as a community in the face of history, and change.

Book Defense policies of East Central European countries after 1989

Download or read book Defense policies of East Central European countries after 1989 written by James W. Peterson and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2014 Ukrainian-Crimean crisis has raised serious questions in the West about Russian motivations and future policy directions. Now more than ever, it is imperative to explore the defensive perceptions, reactions, and preparations of neighbouring countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Is there a convergence of their approaches along similar paths, or do their different cultures and historical experiences prefigure a divergence of their defense policies? While Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic all seem to have little concern about Russia’s policies in Ukraine, the Polish response has been uniquely strong and militarized. This book will explore reasons for the different responses to the crisis.

Book Orsam Rapor Say   30   Export Potential Of Turkey And Mena Countries After Brexit

Download or read book Orsam Rapor Say 30 Export Potential Of Turkey And Mena Countries After Brexit written by Savaş Kaptan and published by ORSAM. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of the Great Recession in 2008-09, the European economies were dramatically affected. The UK (United Kingdom) economy could not completely recover, and loss of employment soared. The unemployment rate increased from 5.26 percent in 2007 to around 8.04 in 2011, which is a remarkable change for a developed economy like the UK. Afterward, British citizens started to accuse migrant workers from the EU countries of stealing their jobs. At this point, it should be noted that, in the 2010s, an annual average of more than 100 thousand EU citizens migrated to the UK for work. Along with these developments, in 2013, David Cameron—the Conservative Prime Minister of the coalition government from 2010 to 2015—promised a referendum on leaving the European Union if his party wins the election in 2015. When the Conservative Party won the election in 2015 and took office with no coalition partners, the referendum was held on 23 June 2016, which resulted in 51.9 percent of the votes in favor of leaving the EU. After the referendum and following the negotiation period with the EU, the UK officially left the European Union, a process known as “Brexit”, on 31 January 2020. The name “Brexit” comes from the combination of two words: Britain and exit. Note that Britain–referring to Great Britain–and the UK are used interchangeably in the Brexit literature, however, there is a difference between these two specifications. Britain encompasses the geographical areas of England, Scotland and Wales, whereas The UK includes Northern Ireland in addition to Britain. There is also the term British Isles, which refers to all the areas belonging to the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Following the exit, many countries have stressed the possible impacts the exit would have on their economies. Even if the UK and the EU sign a free trade agreement that abolishes taxes or customs duties, the trade volume will be affected negatively. That is because the EU countries will be required from now on to do some extra paperwork to be able to import from or export to the UK. For some goods, exporters will need to get some special licenses and certificates. Before Brexit, international trade between the EU and the UK had been like a domestic trade without any bureaucracy, which has come to an end. Also, the free trade agreement does not prevent either side from imposing tariffs on imported goods in the future. In addition, labor mobility will be limited because of the visa requirements for the citizens traveling between the EU and the UK. Therefore, the coming period poses many threats to the relations between European and British economies.

Book Identities  Nations and Politics after Communism

Download or read book Identities Nations and Politics after Communism written by Roger E. Kanet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on questions of identity that have confronted the countries of Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of the communist system that had previously provided them with an identity. This development both facilitated and necessitated a reassessment of the now independent nations’ history, orientation, symbols and identity. In some cases, new states were created without a clear national identity, while in others the nation was regaining statehood, but not always within borders that had an historical association with the nation concerned. The multiethnic character of the space of the former Soviet Union and its erstwhile "satellites," and the long historical legacy of complex relations, boundary changes, population migration, and economic and social changes presented different challenges to the various nations and states concerned. The essays in this volume attempt to elucidate and understand the issues of ethnic and national identity and their relationship to the emerging statehood in various regions of the post-communist world. This study makes clear that some nation-states were far better prepared to handle these issues than others, and that the longer-term impact of the communist experience has varied. This book was previously published as a special issue of Nationalities Papers
