Rise Of Megacities, The: Challenges, Opportunities And Unique Characteristics
Megacities of over 10 million inhabitants are unique entities in their own right, both challenging and supporting the policies, governance and cohesion of states. In developing and developed economies, the rise of megacities can be seen to have negative and positive effects; from exacerbating and deepening societal problems inherent in inequality and poverty, to increasing opportunities for innovation, education, interconnectivity and development.The Rise of Megacities takes a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to analysis of their growth. It examines both the major new challenges that the expansion of megacities brings for development at large, and the opportunities they might...
Developmental State And Millennium Development Goals: Country Experiences
Prior to the 2016 Sustainable Development Goals, the United Nations (UN) had eight 'global goals' set out to all 191 UN member states at that time, and at least 22 international organizations. Seven out of the eight United National Millennium Development Goals are social goals. The attainment of such goals would require a substantial proportion of public sector expenditure. Without a robust rate of economic growth, whatever is achieved cannot be sustainable. Developmental State and Millennium Development Goals argues that this is the main reason why some of the largest developing countries fell short in achieving the goals.

Shitownik paryski.
„Shitownik paryski – Chic!owny przewodnik po powieści i Paryżu” to efekt współpracy Pawła Zapendowskiego oraz internautów z serwisu Nakanapie.

Industrial Policy Challenges for India
This book looks at the debates on global value chains (GVCs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) as springboards for industrial development in developing countries, especially India. It connects the outcomes in GVC-led industrial restructuring and upgrading to industrial policy choices in trade and FDI liberalisation, in particular those through FTAs. With the share of manufacturing in GDP stagnant at around 15–16% since the 1980s, India’s policymakers have pinned their hopes on greater integration into GVCs to revitalise the manufacturing sector. The multiple FTAs the country has signed over the last few years, specifically the ones with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), ...
Jan Paweł II i Europa
Polska jest dziś jak książka szyfrem pisana: kto potrafi postawić jej rozumne pytanie, temu także rozumnie odpisał w 1985 roku bliski przyjaciel Jana Pawła II ksiądz Józef Tischner. Wydaje się, że prawda zawarta w tych słowach była aktualna nie tylko wtedy, w epoce transformacji i nieustannych zmian, ale także i dziś - nie tylko w odniesieniu do Polski, ale również Europy i świata. Niniejszy zbiór artykułów, które mieliśmy przyjemność zaprezentować czytelnikowi, zdaje się przekonywać także i o tym, że Jan Paweł II był człowiekiem, który potrafił postawić zarówno Polakom, jak i Europejczykom oraz społecznościom o innej tożsamości kulturowej ważne pyta...
