Youth and Development in Cuba
As young people constitute the future development of Cuba, constant analysis of their diverse life experiences is necessary in new and diverse publications by a variety of researchers. This book examines how youth practices intersect with and are influenced by development – economic, human, psychological, social – and how young people negotiate and influence development trends in Cuba. The point of departure for Youth and Development in Cuba is a pluralistic understanding of youth(s) – that is, juventud(es) in Spanish – seen as an active generational subject, influenced sociohistorically, as a kind of collective identity. The collection of chapters from international scholars addresses issues relevant to young people, their experiences and participation in a variety of contexts and explores the diversity of factors that intervene in and shape the current problématiques of young people in Cuba’s eastern province of Holguín
Political Landscapes of Donald Trump
This book delves into the life and work of President Donald Trump, who is arguably the most famous and controversial person in the world today. While his administration has received enormous attention, few have studied the spatial dimensions of his policies. Political Landscapes of Donald Trump explores the geographies of Trump from multiple conceptual standpoints. It contextualizes Donald and his rise to power within the geography of his victory in 2016. Several essays in the book are concerned with his white ethno-nationalist political platform and social bases of support. Others focus on Trump’s use of Twitter, his ties to professional wrestling, and his innumerable lies and deceits. Yet another set delves into the geopolitics of his foreign policies, notably in Cuba, Korea, the Middle East, and China. Finally, it covers how his administration has addressed – or failed to address – climate change and its treatment of undocumented immigrants. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the Trump administration, as well as social scientists and the informed lay public.

Historyczne i współczesne stosunki międzynarodowe Amerykanie - Kubańczycy - Japończycy - Czeczeni
Książka Historyczne i współczesne stosunki międzynarodowe. Amerykanie - Kubańczycy - Japończycy - Czeczeni to udana próba przedstawienia współczesnych stosunków międzynarodowych z ukazaniem ich genezy, a zatem szerokiego tła historycznego. Autorzy skupili swą uwagę na newralgicznych punktach naszego globu: Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kubie, Japonii i Czeczenii. Wybór pierwszego obszaru badawczego jest oczywisty. USA nadal utrzymują pozycję światowego hegemona. Anno Domini 2015 przejdzie do historii jako rok, w którym rząd amerykański nawiązał po kilkudziesięcioletniej przerwie stosunki dyplomatyczne z Republiką Kuby. Ta przełomowa decyzja administracji Baracka Obamy nie uszła uwadze monografistów. Kolejne państwa, o których traktuje omawiana publikacja, są równie interesujące, choć z odmiennych względów: Kraj Kwitnącej Wiśni jako azjatycka potęga gospodarcza oraz Czeczenia jako tzw. "miękkie podbrzusze" Federacji Rosyjskiej.

Pesos and Politics
The relationship between business and politics is crucial to understanding Mexican history, and Pesos and Politics explores this relationship from the mid-nineteenth century dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz through the Mexican Revolution (1876–1940). Historian Mark Wasserman argues that throughout this era, over the course of successive regimes, there was an evolving enterprise system that had to balance the interests of the Mexican national elite, state and local governments, large foreign corporations, and individual foreign entrepreneurs. During and after the Revolution these groups were joined by organized labor and organized peasants. Contrary to past assessments, Wasserman argues that n...
