(P/B) THE FUTURE OF REVOLUTIONS (1842770330)

(P/B) GLOBALIZATION
This book gives the lie to that claim. Economic globalization has never been an inevitable part of human history. It is eminently reversible and hugely resistible. Greg Buckman argues there are two broad approaches within the anti-globalization movement. One, perhaps the most widely supported and influential strand today, calls the Fair Trade and Back to Bretton Woods school.

(P/B) INTERNATIONAL ZAPATISMO
The Zapatista movement and its leader Subcomandante Marcos have attracted enormous political and scholarly attention ever since their uprising began in Chiapas, Mexico, in 1994.

Thomas Olesen explores this phenomenon in the context of global...

Featuring five crucial case...
