Ranging from analyses of Condoleeza Rice and Bush's other 'Cowgirls' to the Iraq war, this book pushes the boundaries of contemporary theory. It charts the militarist and masculinist configurations through discussions of the Afghan and Iraq wars, violations at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, the 2004 US Presidential election, and hurricane Katrina.
Seeking a fresh perspective on one of the major issues of our day, global financial capitalism and its devastating effects on our democracies, this is an ideal text for students and teachers in the political sciences and philosophy; corporate and labor law; economic sociology; social and economic history; and industrial relations, business, and management.
Emerging democracies need a lot of support from international institutions, and this book analyzes the ways those organizations succeed and fail in providing that assistance.
