Download or read book Towards a Science of States written by Erik Moberg and published by Mobergs Publikationer. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James N. Druckman, Northwestern University: "This is a book that will teach students and citizens about how the state works. The book covers nearly all forms of states - something virtually no other book does. It is a must read." Mark N. Franklin, European University Institute: "This wonderful book is written as a textbook but actually it is a work of theory - social science theory - regarding the nature of the state in history and in the modern world. It is about how states come into being, and why (and why there has, in the course of history, more often been anarchy). It is also about why states are of different kinds and how those kinds of state come into being and evolve into states of different kinds. I should stress that, although world history provides the data supporting the ideas put forward in this book, this is not a history book. It presents a first class and cutting edge social science analysis of the nature of the state and how it works - a modern day "The Prince."" Donald L. Horowitz, Duke University: "Moberg's [book] is a richly theorized, exceedingly ambitious study that brings us back to fundamentals. The reader looking for a sophisticated treatment of the state and of the variety of regime types will be richly rewarded." Otmar Holl, Osterreichisches Institut fur Internationale Politik: "In our rapidly changing global environment reflecting more on "Statehood" in a comprehensive, evolutionary and comparative way is badly needed. This holds especially true in my discipline of International Relations. The introductory text of Erik Moberg provides an excellent overview that addresses the historic roots as well as the current differences of States in various parts of our real world. In bringing together ideas, theories and reality the book advances our understanding of Statehood in the international system of the 21st century." Jonah Levy, University of California, Berkeley: "Moberg analyzes the concept of the state and its emergence and evolution over time. Perhaps of greatest value is his comparison of different kinds of states or political regimes: dictatorships, direct democracies, oligarchies, representative democracies, and situations of statelessness. Informative and clearly written, Moberg's book offers a useful primer for students and lay readers looking to familiarize themselves with the basic attributes and varieties of forms that states can take."

Download or read book Slipping Away written by Mark Moberg and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the 1990s, the Eastern Caribbean was caught in a bitter trade dispute between the US and EU over the European banana market. When the World Trade Organization rejected preferential access for Caribbean growers in 1998 the effect on the region's rural communities was devastating. This volume examines the "banana wars" from the vantage point of St. Lucia's Mabouya Valley, whose recent, turbulent history reveals the impact of global forces. The author investigates how the contemporary structure of the island's banana industry originated in colonial policies to create a politically "stable" peasantry. followed by politicians' efforts to mobilize rural voters. These political strategies left farmers dependent on institutional and market protection, leaving them vulnerable to any alteration in trade policy. This history gave way to a new harsh reality, in which neoliberal policies privilege price and quantity over human rights and the environment. However. against these challenges, the author shows how the rural poor have responded in creative ways, including new social movements and Fair Trade farming, in order to negotiate a stronger position for themselves in a shifting global economy."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book When I Was a Child written by Vilhelm Moberg and published by Minnesota Historical Society Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, in the poverty-stricken Swedish region of Småland, young Valter, the son of a soldier, explores the world around him and watches his older brothers emigrate to America. In this novel of the life of a farm boy, first published in three volumes in 1946, Vilhelm Moberg sensitively explores his own childhood. When Valter, a boy with great imagination, describes the exciting things he sees so vividly, he is punished for lying, so he learns to write his stories down instead. He willingly leaves school and helps support his family by working in lumber camps and a glass factory. His father’s ill health and death bring even harder times. Through all his toil, he debates whether to honor his father’s wish and remain in Sweden to support his mother. With gentle irony and a loving knowledge of the landscape, the people, and the larger issue of class struggle, Moberg offers American readers a deeply moving view of the other side of Swedish immigration.

Download or read book YSEC Yearbook of Socio Economic Constitutions 2020 written by Steffen Hindelang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the very first, interdisciplinarily grounded, comprehensive appraisal of a future “Common European Law on Investment Screening”. Thereby, it provides a foundation for a European administrative law framework for investment screening by setting out viable solutions and evaluating their pros and cons. Daimler, the harbour terminal in Zeebrugge, or Saxo Bank are only three recent examples of controversially discussed company takeovers in Europe. The “elephant in the room” is China and its “Belt and Road Initiative”. The political will in Europe is growing to more actively control investments flowing into the EU. The current regulatory initiatives raise several fundamental, constitutional and regulatory issues. Surprisingly, they have not been addressed in any depth so far. The book takes stock of the current rather fragmented regulatory approaches and combines contributions from leading international academics, practitioners, and policy makers in their respective fields. Due to the volume’s comprehensive approach, it is expected to influence the broader debate on the EU’s upcoming regulation of this matter. The book is addressed to participants from academia as well as to representatives from government, business, and civil society.

Book excerpt: Based on a recent symposium that brought together experts in behavior, nutrition, physiology, immunology, and human and animal medicine, this volume presents an up-to-date discussion of the problems and methods of studying animal stress today. Section one reviews the evolutionary and ontogenetic determinants of animal suffering and the assessment of well-being. The second section examines biological responses to stress and methods of monitoring stress in animals. Section three shows how stress can threaten animal health, disrupt normal reproduction, and influence growth and metabolism. The final section relates the importance of animal stress to developing guidelines on the use of animals in scientific research. This is an invaluable reference for exploring these complex responses

Download or read book The Oxytocin Factor written by Kerstin Uvnas Moberg and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2003-09-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been exciting scientific discoveries about a powerful hormone whose role in the human body has long been neglected. Oxytocin is the hormone involved in bonding, sex, childbirth, and breast-feeding, as well as in relaxation and feelings of calm. It is the mirror image of the stress hormone (adrenaline), which triggers the "fight or flight" systems in the body. Much has been written about the latter but the many-sided importance of oxytocin is currently known only to specialists in obstetrics, physiology, and psychiatry. The Oxytocin Factor, by Dr. Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg, is the first book on the subject for a general audience. The new research findings, as well as the potentially beneficial applications of this hormone in reducing anxiety states, stress, addictions, and problems of childbirth, are not only fascinating but of great significance to all our lives.
