The Big Difference
"Sometimes choices are a bit like American TV - you've got 200 channels but you can't find anything you want to watch." Nicola Phillips Making choices. It's very hard to do. There are books that tell you how to get what you want, but that's not much use if you don't know what you want. This book tackles the toughest issue - how to make choices and find what it is that would make the big difference to you. Making choices is often the hardest part of life and work - in fact it's so hard, most of us avoid making any at all. We let others choose, or just stick with the status quo. But why is it so hard? And can it be made easier? Most books and articles work on the basis that you know what you w...
Globalizing International Political Economy
Despite its claims to global scope and relevance, International Political Economy as a field of study remains entrenched in a narrow set of theoretical, conceptual and empirical foundations derived from the experiences of the advanced industrialized democracies. Bringing together specially commissioned chapters by leading authorities in each key area of debate, Globalizing International Political Economy provides a systematic examination and critique of contemporary IPE, and puts forward a new agenda for a truly 'global' political economy.

Development
The concept of development has never been in greater need of analysis and clarification than in the present era. Just about everyone is 'for' development as an assumed 'good', yet few seem to have a concrete idea of what the term actually entails. Development offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging analysis of the various ways in which this important concept has been used in social and political analysis over the past 200 years. Starting with the classical theories that sought to explain the initial development of the industrialized world, the book moves on to consider the 'golden age' of development theory after 1945, before bringing debates right up to date by assessing current and future ...
Fear Without Loathing
Fear is the other four letter ?f? word. People find it hard to say. Why? Why does it have a connotation of life and death when most of the things we fear are more everyday, happen to us everyday, and seem to be getting scarier? It is not about work life balance, or how many hours you spend at work or at home; it is about the way you think and feel in those places. FEAR WITHOUT LOATHING is about understanding what is behind the things you think and feel. It is about understanding and relating to the fears we have that keep us stuck in places we don?t want to be and what needs to happen so we can go somewhere else.
Handbook of the International Political Economy of Governance
Since the 1990s many of the assumptions that anchored the study of governance in international political economy (IPE) have been shaken loose. Reflecting on the intriguing and important processes of change that have occurred, and are occurring, Profess
International Political Economy
The book gathers together a set of lively, provocative essays by leading voices in International Political Economy to debate the evolution of the field, its current state and its future directions. Prompted by recent commentaries on the existence of a ‘transatlantic divide’ in IPE between an ‘American school’ and a ‘British school’, the essays provide a wide-ranging discussion of whether it is useful to think of the field in these terms, what the ‘American’ and ‘British’ schools look like, what their achievements and shortcomings are, and what are the desirable future directions for IPE scholarship. The diverse responses to these questions reflect the ongoing vibrancy and diversity of the field of IPE, and open up an imaginative and engaging discussion about where we need to go from here. Featuring contributions from the most influential scholars in the field from North America, Canada and the UK, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the cutting edge debates in contemporary international political economy.
Women in Magazines
Women have been important contributors to and readers of magazines since the development of the periodical press in the nineteenth century. By the mid-twentieth century, millions of women read the weeklies and monthlies that focused on supposedly "feminine concerns" of the home, family and appearance. In the decades that followed, feminist scholars criticized such publications as at best conservative and at worst regressive in their treatment of gender norms and ideals. However, this perspective obscures the heterogeneity of the magazine industry itself and women’s experiences of it, both as readers and as journalists. This collection explores such diversity, highlighting the differing and at times contradictory images and understandings of women in a range of magazines and women’s contributions to magazines in a number of contexts from late nineteenth century publications to twenty-first century titles in Britain, North America, continental Europe and Australia.
