Razvojni izzivi Slovenije
Knjiga obravnava temeljna razvojna vprašanja Slovenije. Osvetljuje osrednje dileme Strategije razvoja Slovenije, vrednoti njena izhodišča in neposredne učinke posameznih razvojnih ukrepov. Avtorji so odpirali pereča razvojna vprašanja ter iskali možne odgovore, nove spodbude, potenciale in priložnosti. Izhajali so iz predpostavke, da je njihova naloga iskanje rešitev za gospodarsko uspešno, socialno pravično, okolju prijazno in etično odgovorno družbo, k tem ciljem pa morajo stremeti tudi razvojna prizadevanja. Strategija razvoja Slovenije, čeprav je bila sprejeta šele pred tremi leti, skladno s prej napisanimi izhodišči in spremenjenimi makroekonomskimi razmerami potrebuje popravke, ki bodo slovensko razvojno pot preusmerile v trajnostno sprejemljivejšo smer in h kakovostnemu razvoju, pravičnemu za vse državljanke in državljane ter prijaznemu do okolja.

Humanism and Religion in Early Modern Spain
Humanism and Religion in Early Modern Spain brings together twenty-five essays by renowned historian Terence O’Reilly. The essays examine the interplay of religion and humanism in a series of writings composed in sixteenth-century Spain. It begins by presenting essential background: the coming together during the reign of the Emperor Charles V of Erasmian humanism and various movements of religious reform, some of them heterodox. It then moves on to the reign of Philip II, focusing on the mystical poetry and prose of St John of the Cross. It explores the influence on his writings of his humanist learning – classical, biblical and patristic. The third part of the book concerns a verse-epi...
Remembering Italian America
Remembering Italian America: Memory, Migration, Identity examines the life of Italians in the United States and the role of migration and collective memory in the history of the construction of Italian American identity.

In exploring the r...
Ecofeminism as Politics
This is an exploration of the philosophical and political challenge of ecofeminism. It shows how the ecology movement has been held back by conceptual confusion over the implications of gender difference, while much that passes in the name of feminism is actually an obstacle to ecological change and global democracy. The author argues that ecofeminism reaches beyond contemporary social movements, being a synthesis of four revolutions in one: ecology is feminism is socialism is post-colonial struggle. Informed by a critical postmodern reading of the Marxist tradition, Salleh's ecofeminism integrates discourses on science, the body, culture, nature and political economy. The book opens with a short history of ecofeminism. Part Two establishes the basis for its epistemological challenge, while the third part consists of ecofeminist deconstructions of deep ecology, social ecology, ecosocialism and postmodern feminism. In the final section Salleh suggests that a powerful way forward can be found in commonalities between ecofeminist and indigenous struggles.
The Concert
China is somehow involved with the increasingly desperate situation in Albania, but no one knows the extent of its secret alliances, political levers, and economic control. Skënder Bermema is sent to China on a fact-finding mission, and is confronted with the reality of Mao’s China, a nation intent on crushing individuality, independence, and creativity. The intriguing promise of a mysterious gala concert is where the hand-picked foreign invitees expect to be able to decipher in the colors, figures, and gestures of the Chinese actors a message about China’s intentions. And no matter what any of them may be expecting, the message is shocking beyond their wildest imaginations.
