Download or read book Henry Meiggs written by Watt Stewart and published by International Law & Taxation Pub. This book was released on 2000 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illicit adventures of an American on foreign soil. Henry Meiggs, the hero in this novel is one of a type that has become familiar in American history: the man who wanted power and millions and was not much concerned about his means of getting them. But his story has freshness because little attention has been paid him and because of the Latin-American scene of his activities. While many Americans have gone abroad and played roles of significance in the life of other nations, few perhaps equaled Meiggs in the scope of his ideas or in the daring with which he strove to make them actualities. His place in the history of both Chile and Peru is one of considerable importance. The economic and political developments in those countries in the period 1855-1880, during most of which Meiggs was quite prominent in one or both, were of the first importance in their later history. The fact that the War of the Pacific, of greatest significance to both countries, was begun shortly after Meigg's death, cannot fail to suggest that his activities are worthy of some study.

(LONG TRADE CLOTH) Stanley Hoffmann has remarked that OIt wasnOt I who chose to study world politics.

Long one of the fieldOs most distinguished thinkers, Hoffmann brings together in this volume his important recent work on international politics. Many published here for the first time, these essays offer incisive reflections upon the reemergence of nationalism and ethnic conflicts in Europe, the redefined role of military intervention, and other uncertainties brought on by the demise of the Cold War. Hoffmann weighs the influence on theory and policy of such disparate figures as John Rawls, Hedley Bull, and George Schultz. Woven throughout are his clear-eyed assessments of contending approaches to the study of international relations.

Download or read book Coping with International Conflict written by Roger Fisher and published by Pearson. This book was released on 1997 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coping with International Conflict incorporates the expertise of Roger Fisher, coauthor of a bestselling book on negotiation, and coauthors Andrea Kupfer Schneider, Elizabeth Borgwardt, and Brian Ganson. Based on the authors' international consulting work, the book is designed to familiarize students with the theory and practice of conflict management as well as the newest negotiation techniques. The authors introduce basic components of conflict resolution theory - understanding partisan perceptions, analyzing the structure of negotiations, framing requests and demands - and provide exercises, charts, and checklists to highlight key points. Anecdotes, examples, and historic case studies of conflict areas such as the West Bank and Vietnam show theory in practice and demonstrate the use of conflict-resolution tools. As a test of students' newly acquired negotiation skills, the authors set up a problem-solving process in which students select a real-world problem and write an "Action Memorandum" - a proposal to be sent to a real decisionmaker. Instructors and students alike will find this text to be an invaluable resource - it provides a variety of formats in which to learn and apply conflict-management theory, as well as a variety of opportunities to practise negotiation techniques in the fascinating arena of international conflict management.
Download or read book International Politics in the Atomic Age written by John H. Herz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1959 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in English, this is the definitive account of the practice of sexual slavery the Japanese military perpetrated during World War II by the researcher principally responsible for exposing the Japanese government's responsibility for these atrocities. The large scale imprisonment and rape of thousands of women, who were euphemistically called "comfort women" by the Japanese military, first seized public attention in 1991 when three Korean women filed suit in a Toyko District Court stating that they had been forced into sexual servitude and demanding compensation. Since then the comfort stations and their significance have been the subject of ongoing debate and intense activism in Japan, much if it inspired by Yoshimi's investigations. How large a role did the military, and by extension the government, play in setting up and administering these camps? What type of compensation, if any, are the victimized women due? These issues figure prominently in the current Japanese focus on public memory and arguments about the teaching and writing of history and are central to efforts to transform Japanese ways of remembering the war. Yoshimi Yoshiaki provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 centers where as many as 200,000 Korean, Filipina, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Dutch, Australian, and some Japanese women were restrained for months and forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese military personnel. Many of the women were teenagers, some as young as fourteen. To date, the Japanese government has neither admitted responsibility for creating the comfort station system nor given compensation directly to former comfort women. This English edition updates the Japanese edition originally published in 1995 and includes introductions by both the author and the translator placing the story in context for American readers.
Download or read book What Is Political Economy written by Martin Staniland and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exploration of theories of 'political economy.' Such theories are the latest products of a long-standing intellectual enterprise concerned with understanding the relationship of politics and economics. Those involved in the enterprise have often wanted not just to describe how economics and politics are related but also to suggest how they should be related-to suggest how one should shape the other. In framing their theories, they have also involved themselves in academic arguments about the value and limitations of disciplines, as well as in essentially political arguments about the relationship of theory to action.
