The Ravages of Neo-liberalism
Ravages Of Neo-Liberalism Economy, Society & Gender In Turkey
Transforming Classes
For more than half a century, the Socialist Register has brought together some of the sharpest thinkers from around the globe to address the pressing issues of our time. Founded by Ralph Miliband and John Saville in London in 1964, SR continues their commitment to independent and thought-provoking analysis, free of dogma or sectarian positions. Transforming Classes is a compendium of socialist thought today and a clarifying account of class struggle in the early twenty-first-century, from China to the United States.
The Developing World and State Education
This book critically examines neoliberal policy impacts on schooling/ education in the Developing World, analysing the latest developments in Latin America, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Pakistan, India, Burkina Fasso, South Africa, Mozambique, and China.
The Making of Global Capitalism
The all-encompassing embrace of world capitalism at the beginning of the twenty-first century was generally attributed to the superiority of competitive markets. Globalization had appeared to be the natural outcome of this unstoppable process. But today, with global markets roiling and increasingly reliant on state intervention to stay afloat, it has become clear that markets and states aren't straightforwardly opposing forces. In this groundbreaking work, Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin demonstrate the intimate relationship between modern capitalism and the American state. The Making of Global Capitalism identifies the centrality of the social conflicts that occur within states rather than between them. These emerging fault lines hold out the possibility of new political movements that might transcend global markets.
Labour Markets & Employment
As the outcome of the third international conference of political economy, the papers in this volume cover a range of topics, related to the conference theme of “labor markets and employment,” from globalization to migration, unionization to policy implementation, and women’s labor to child labor and ethnic issues in employment. Despite the wide range they come from, almost all papers draw attention to the radical changes in employment policies and practices around the world, and many of them point to global neoliberalism as the source of this transformation process, one way or another. We believe that revealing the dynamics of this process and putting forward possible alternative policies and practices across the world would provide signi cant contribution to solving the problems of labor markets and employment, as the papers in this collection attempt to do.
Gramsci, Political Economy, and International Relations Theory
This book seeks to provide the most comprehensive and sustained engagement and critique of neo-Gramscian analyses available in the literature. In examining neo-Gramscian analyses in IR/IPE, the book engages with two fundamental concerns in international relations: (i) The question of historicity and (ii) The analysis of radical transformation.
Osmanlı'dan Günümüze Türkiye'de Siyasal Hayat
Osmanlı’dan Günümüze Türkiye’de Siyasal Hayat’ı kendi kulvarındaki öteki kitaplardan ayıran başlıca özellik, “siyasal hayat”ı kavrayış biçiminde yatıyor. Siyasal hayatı, dünya-tarihsel bağlamı içine yerleştirerek, iktisadi koşullar ve kültür hayatıyla ilişkilendirerek ele alan kitap, bunların tümünün gerisindeki dinamiğin toplumsal sınıflar arasındaki ilişkiler ve çelişkiler olduğunu gözetiyor. Türkiye siyasal ve toplumsal tarihinin önemli dönemeçlerine göre ayrılan her bir bölüm kendi içerisinde dört aşamalı bir izleği takip ediyor: iktisadi ve toplumsal koşullar, siyasal gelişmeler, dünyayla ilişkiler ve kültür hayatınd...
Rethinking Private Higher Education
Rethinking Private Higher Education takes the university as a core institution in modern nation states, which is currently undergoing a serious revision. It offers fresh insights into the actual meaning of ‘private’ in different higher education contexts, contributing to a deeper understanding of the actual effects of global policies in local contexts through ethnographies. This book explores how private universities were established, their context and history, and their changing business models and operations. The strengths of this book are its ethnographic detail, which shows the complexity and fast changing forms of private higher education, and its reluctance to jump to simplified labelling of public and private. It is a model for further ethnographic studies of local developments in higher education. Contributors are: Ayça Alemdaroğlu, Daniele Cantini, Carmela Chávez Irigoyen, Enrico Ille, Sylvie Mazzella, Alexander Mitterle, Annemarie Profanter, and Susan Wright.
Education in Turkey
This book represents a major study of the development and present state of education in Turkey. Turkey offers a unique context for studying education because of the tensions that exist between secularization and Islam, top-down social engineering and democratization, and economic growth and social justice. Education in Turkey brings together some of the leading educationalists in Turkey, as well as a number of scholars from other disciplines. The topics covered include the development and structure of primary, secondary, vocational and adult education, the role of education in shaping citizenship and national identity, human capital, economic growth and educational inequalities. This significant volume will be of particular interest to policy makers as well as researchers and students in education, economics, politics, and Turkish studies.
