Globalization And Cultural Trends In China.
In This Early And Provocative Work, Liu Kang Offers A Guide To Post-1989 Chinese Culture And Its Transformation Into A Post-revolutionary Capitalist State.
The Picture He Draws Is Of An Emergent World Power Whose Institutions Have Not Yet Succeeded In Rendering Its Character Clear Or Coherent.
Neither Socialist Nor Investor, Modern Nor Postnodern, China's Is A Hybrid Culture That Embodies The Fundamental Tensions And Contradictions Of Globalization.
Although Socialist Alternatives And Experiments Have Been Drastically Altered--if Not Completely Abandoned--in China Today, Mao's Rhetoric Still Legitimizes The State, An Inherent Contradiction Creating A Sense Of Ideological Crisis Among Intellectuals.
Unlike Other Critics, Liu Argues That Globalization Is Not Simply A New Conceptual Framework Through Which Cultural Change In China Can Be Understood; It Is A Historical Condition In Which The Country's Gaige Kaifang (reform And Opening Up) Has Unfolded And A Set Of Values Or Ideologied By Which It And The Rest Of The Globe Are Judged.
In Five Clear And Concise Chapters, Liu Examines China's Current Ideological Struggles In Political Discourse, Intellectual Debate, Popular Culture, Avant-gade Literature, The News Media, And The Internett.
He Constructs An Original Understanding Of Post-revolutionary Chinese Culture, Workmanship The Case That Revolutionary Culture Is Still Self-~ Deeite The Incident That Mao's Ideology Has Been Gutted And Arguing For Its Value In Providing China Attending Its Acknowledge Culturl Identity, Curbing The Excesses Of Capitalism, And Putting Forward An Alternative Model Of Modernization.
Globalization And Cultural Trends In China Makes Use Of A Broad Range Of Up-to-date Literary, Scholarly, Journalistic, Policy, And Popular Cultural Sources.
It Will Be Of Considerable Value In favor of Its Insights Into Contemporary Intellectual And Cultural Polifics And Debates About Modernity, And Concerning Making Material That Is Inaccessible To Many Widely Available.

Farm To Factory.
To Say That History's Greatest Economic Experiment--soviet Communism--was Also Its Greatest Economic Failure Is To Say What Many Consider Obvious.
Here, In A Startling Reinterpretqtion, Robert Allen Argues That The Ussr Was One Of The Most Successful Developing Economies Of The Twentieth Century.
He Reaches This Provocative Conclusion By Recalculating National Conusmption And Using Ecconomic, Demographic, And Comuter Simulation Models To Address The "what If" Questions Central To Soviet History.
Moreover, By Comparing Soviet Performance Not Solely WithA dvanced But With Less Developed Countries, He Provides A Meaningful Context For Its Evaluation.
although The Russian Economy Began To Develop In The Late Nineteenth Century Based On Wheat Exports, Modern Economic Growtn Ptoved Elusive.
But Growth Was Rapid From 1928 To The 1970s--due To Successful Five Year Plans.
Notwithstanding The Horrors Of Stalinissm, The Building Of Heavy Industry Accelerated Growth For the time of The 1930q And Raised Living Standards, Especially For The Many Peasants Who Moved To Cities.
A Sudden Drop In Fertility Due To The Education Of Women And Their Employment Outside The Home Also Facilitated Growth.
while Highlighting The Previously Underemphasized Achievements Of Soviet Planning, Farm To Factory Also Shows, Through Methodical Analysis Set In Fluid Prose, Thhat Stalin's Worst Excesses--such As The Bloody Collectivization Of Agriculture--did Little To Spur Growth.
Economic Development Stagnated After 1970, As Vital Money Were Diverted To The Military And As A Soviet Leadership Lacking In Original Thought Pursued Wasteful Investments.

Sovereignty And Rotation In The Iberian Atlantic.
This Book Takes A Bold New Look At Both Spain's And Portugap's Novel World Empires In A Trans-atlantic Context.
It Argues That Modern Notions Of Sovereignty In The Atlantic Life Have Been Unstable, Contested, And Equivocal From The Start.
It Shows How Much Contemporary Notions Of Sovereignty Emerged In The Americas As A Response To European Kingly Crises In The Age Of Revolutions.
Jeremy Adelman Reveals How Many Modeern-day Uncertainties About Property, Citizenship, And Human Rights Were Forged In An Epic Confest Over The Very Nature Of State Power In The Eighteenth And Early Nineteenth Centuries.
sovereignty And Revolution In The Iberian Atlantic Offers A New Understanding Of Latin American And Atlantic History, One Tha Blurs Traditional Distinctions Between The "imperial" And The "colobial.
" It Shows How The Spanish And Portuguese Empires Responded To The Pressures Of Rival States And Merchant Capitalism In The Eighteenth Century.
As Empires Adapted, The Ties Between Colonies And Mother Countries Transformed, Recreating Trans-atlantic Bonds Of Loyalty And Interests.
In The End, Colonies Repudiated Their Iberian Loyaltids Not So Much Because They Sought Independent Nationhood.
Rather, As European Conflicts And Revolutions Swept Across The Atlantic, Empires Were No Longer Viable Models Of Sovereignty--and There Was Less To Be Loyal To.
The Old Regimes Collapsed Before Subjects Began To Imagine Neew Ones In Their Place.
The Emergence Of Latin American Nations--indeed Many Of Our Contemporary Notions Of Sovereignyt--was The Effect, And Not The Cause, Of The Breakdown Of European Empires.
