Postcolonial theory is one of the key issues of scholarly debates worldwide; debates, so the author argues, which are rather sterile and characterized by a repetitive reworking of old hackneyed issues, focussing on cultural questions of language and identity in particular. She explores the divergent responses to the debates on globalization.
In this book, Vasuki Nesiah tells the story of the astonishing uptake of International Conflict Feminism (ICF) in the most powerful institutions of global governance. ICF refers to a repertoire of policy agendas and legal strategies allied with those institutions to focus on women’s vulnerabilities, fight impunity for sexual violence, and promote women’s roles in peace-building processes. ICF emerged from feminist networks anchored in the Global North that gained momentum in the aftermath of the Cold War. Although this volume offers a testament to ICF’s remarkable success, it also analyzes how this success was intertwined with the defeat of alternative visions and agendas, including a ...
The broad aim of this book is to provide a general basis for comparatively analysing and understanding the French riots of October/November 2005 and the corresponding Bristish disorders which occurred in the spring/summer of 2001. The first of the French riots broke out on 27 October in the north Parisian banlieue (suburb) of Clichy-sous-Bois when two teenage youths of Muslim heritage were electrocuted in a substation while fleeing from the police.

Menestys on käsite, joka on imeytynyt koko nykyiseen yhteiskuntaan, sen kaikkiin alueisiin, eikä vain talouselämään. Sen tartuttamia ovat kaikki - pahimmin ne, joilla ei ole mitään menestymisen mahdollisuuksia. Arvostettu ja palkittu dramaturgi ja journalisti ruotii kirjassaan menestyksen ja moraalin suhdetta. Hän tarkastelee Suomeen rantautuneita koulutusmetodeja, jotka lupaavat ihmisille ja yrityksille nopeita voittoja, menestystä ja vaikutusvaltaa. Sumeilematon, suora ja sarkastinen teos haastaa lukijan tinkimättömään analyysiin - löytöretkelle kulttuuriimme hiipivään piilovaikuttamiseen.
