(P/B) THE PROBLEM WITH BANKS
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0069

Banks of all sorts are troubled institutions. The cost of public bail-outs associated with the subprime crisis in the United States alone may be as high as US 5 trillion dollars. What is the problem with banks? Why do they seem to be at the centre of economic and financial turmoil down through the ages? In this provocative and timely book, Rethel and Sinclair seek answers to these questions, arguing that banks suffer from perennial problems, and that developments in the financial markets and government in recent decades have simply exacerb...

(P/B) SEX TRAFFIC
PROSTITUTION, CRIME AND EXPLOITATION
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0042

The trafficking of women and girls for the purpose of prostitution is big business. It is one of the most lucrative industries in the world, particularly given the explosion of the sex industry since the 1990s. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the devastating impact of neoliberal economic policies in many parts of the world have resulted in significant numbers of women seeking income however they can. Some women and girls suffer conditions of extreme exploitation and abuse, having little or no control over their lives. Invisible to mos...

(P/B) UNHOLY TRINITY
THE IMF, WORLD BANK AND WTO
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0070

Who really runs the global economy? Who benefits most from it? The answer is a triad of 'governance institutions' - The IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. Globalization massively increased the power of these institutions and they drastically affected the livelihoods of peoples across the world. Yet they operate undemocratically and aggressively promote a particular kind of neoliberal capitalism. Under the 'Washington Consensus' they proposed, poverty was to be ended by increasing inequality. This new edition of Unholy Trinity, completely upd...

(P/B) THE ARAB SPRING
THE END OF POSTCOLONIALISM
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0071

This pioneering explanation of the Arab Spring will define a new era of thinking about the Middle East. In this landmark book, Hamid Dabashi argues that the revolutionary uprisings that have engulfed multiple countries and political climes from Morocco to Iran and from Syria to Yemen, were driven by a 'Delayed Defiance' - a point of rebellion against domestic tyranny and globalized disempowerment alike that signifies no less than the end of Postcolonialism. Sketching a new geography of liberation, Dabashi shows how the Arab Spring has alte...

(P/B) EMPIRE WITH IMPERIALISM
THE GLOBALIZING DYNAMICS OF NEO-LIBERAL CAPITALISM
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0061

Until its recent revival the term "imperialism" had virtually disappeared from academic and political discourse. Today, however, the notion of imperialism, particularly regarding the aggressive projection of state power by the Bush administration, has been put back on the agenda. It has begun to replace the notion of "globalization" as a framework for grasping worldwide economic, social and political developments. This book explores these events. It looks at the transformations in capitalist development over the past two decades, and the g...

(P/B) REALIZING HOPE
LIFE BEYOND CAPITALISM
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0064

Something is profoundly wrong with capitalist globalization, as neo-liberal policies continue to vastly increase the disparity between rich and poor. 'What is the alternative?' is a question challenging activists around the world. Michael Albert has wrestled with this question for many years, and his answer has captured the imagination of many in both North and South. 'Participatory Economics' - 'Parecon' for short - is Albert's proposal for an economic system which offers a real alternative to capitalism, built on familiar values includin...

(P/B) THE ESSENTIAL NAWAL EL SAADAWI
A READER
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0067

The writings of Nawal El Saadawi are essential to anyone wishing to understand the contemporary Arab world. Her dissident voice has stayed as consistent in its critique of neo-imperialist international politics as it has in its denunciation of women's oppression, both in her native Egypt and in the wider world. Saadawi is a figure of international significance, and her work has a central place in Arabic history and culture of the last half century. Featuring work never before translated into English, The Essential Nawal El Saadawi gathers ...

(P/B) REVOLUTION, REBELLION, RESISTANCE
THE POWER OF STORY
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0058

Why do revolutions happen? Decades of social science research have brought us little closer to understanding where, when and amongst whom they occur. In this groundbreaking book, Eric Selbin argues that we need to look beyond the economic, political and social structural conditions to the thoughts and feelings of the people who make revolutions. In particular, he argues, we need to understand the stories people relay and rework of past injustices and struggles as they struggle in the present towards a better future. Ranging from the French...

(P/B) THE NEW CULTURAL CLIMATE IN TURKEY
LIVING IN A SHOP WINDOW
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0056

The New Cultural Climate in Turkey is a beautifully written collection of essays by a leading Turkish intellectual. It presents a compelling analysis of cultural politics in Turkey, arguing that the dominant cliched dualities of East/West and secular/sacred mask a reality of silence, repression and return. Gurbilek's keen analysis of radical changes following the 1980 coup demonstrates how two apparently contrary cultural strategies - one repressive and censoring, forcing abnegation, the other liberal and provocative, inviting assimilation...

(P/B) GENOCIDE, WAR CRIMES AND THE WEST
HISTORY AND COMPLICITY
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0007

'This exceptionally well selected, brilliantly edited collection provides the most comprehensive treatment of Western responsibility for mass atrocity yet published. The cumulative impact is a devastating indictment of state terrorism as practised by the West, both historically, and now after September 11 in the name of anti-terrorism.' (RICHARD FALK - Professor Emeritus, Princeton University) 'Like communist and third world regimes. Western states have been opponents, bystanders, accomplices and perpetrators of genocide and war crimes. In...

(P/B) WHO OWNS THE MEDIA?
GLOBAL TRENDS AND LOCAL RESISTANCES
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0011

The ownership of the media and issues related to the governance of global media institutions are of immense public significance. Not only are cultural industries a major source of contemporary power - economic, political, social - they are also the primary definers of consciousness in most parts of the contemporary world. In the shadow of the recent decision by the US Federal Communications Commission to dismantle restrictions on cross media ownership, and similar initiatives in the United Kingdom and in other parts of the world, the issue...

(P/B) THE MEDIA OF CONFLICT
WAR REPORTING AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ETHNIC VIOLENCE
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0049

This book demonstrates how international media coverage of contemporary wars often encourages serious misunderstandings of complex situations. The shortage of information and the reporting only of those events easily understood by western audiences compounds misconceptions. The contributors are concerned with getting behind ethnic categorizations and examining how they have been constructed from the perspective that ethnicity is essentially a negotiated and relational phenomenon, not something static, primordial or 'natural.' (From the pub...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0031
