Feminists, Islam, and Nation
Princeton University Press | 1994-11-14 | ISBN: 069103706X | 368 pages
| PDF | 3 MB

The emergence and evolution of Egyptian feminism is an integral, but
previously untold, part of the history of modern Egypt. Drawing upon a
wide range of women’s sources–memoirs, letters, essays, journalistic
articles, fiction, treatises, and extensive oral histories–Margot
Badran shows how Egyptian women assumed agency and in so doing
subverted and refigured the conventional patriarchal order. Unsettling
a common claim that “feminism is Western” and dismantling the alleged
opposition between feminism and Islam, the book demonstrates how the
Egyptian feminist movement in the first half of this century both
advanced the nationalist cause and worked within the parameters of Islam.

Security Sector Reform And Post-Conflict Peacebuilding
United Nations University Press| ISBN: 9280811096 | 2006-01-27 | PDF |
348 pages | 1.85 Mb

Military and police forces play a crucial role in the long-term
success of political, economic and cultural rebuilding efforts in
post-conflict societies. Yet, while charged with the long-term task of
providing a security environment conducive to rebuilding war-torn
societies, internal security structures tend to lack civilian and
democratic control, internal cohesion and effectiveness, and public
credibility. They must be placed under democratic control and
restructured and retrained to become an asset, not a liability, in the
long-term peace-building process. External actors from other nations,
regional organizations and the United Nations can be of assistance in
this process, by creating a basic security environment, preventing
remnants of armed groups from spoiling the fragile peace-building process.

Toleration
Princeton Univ Pr | 1996-02-05 | ISBN: 069104371X | 256 pages | PDF |
7,4 MB

If we are to understand the concept of toleration in terms of everyday
life, we must address a key philosophical and political tension: the
call for restraint when encountering apparently wrong beliefs and
actions versus the good reasons for interfering with the lives of the
subjects of these beliefs and actions. This collection contains
original contributions to the ongoing debate on the nature of
toleration, including its definition, historical development,
justification, and limits. In exploring the issues surrounding
toleration, the essays address a variety of provocative questions.
Throughout, the contributors point to the inherent indeterminacy of
the concept and to the difficulty in locating it between intolerant
absolutism and skeptical pluralism. Religion, sex, speech, and
education are major areas requiring toleration in liberal societies.
By applying theoretical analysis, these essays show the differences in
the argument for toleration and its scope in each of these realms. The
contributors include Joshua Cohen, George Fletcher, Gordon Graham,
Alon Harel, Moshe Halbertal, Barbara Herman, John Horton, Will
Kymlicka, Avishai Margalit, David Richards, Thomas Scanlon, and
Bernard Williams. “When subtle thinkers probe tolerance with the
acuity of this volume’s contributors, we see both how far the notion
stretches, and the profound challenges it poses to our habits of
thinking.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer

Steven Rosefielde “Comparative Economic Systems: Culture, Wealth, and
Power in the 21st Century”
Wiley-Blackwell | 2002-05-06 | ISBN: 0631229612 | 304 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Comparative Economic Systems: Culture, Wealth and Power in the 21st
Century explains how culture, in various guises, modifies the standard
rules of economic engagement, creating systems that differ markedly
from those predicted by the theory of general market competition. This
analysis is grounded in established principles, but also assumes that
individual utility seeking may be culturally determined, that
political goals may take precedence over public well being, and that
business misconduct may be socially detrimental.

Clifford R. Backman “The Worlds of Medieval Europe”
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002-08-22 | ISBN: 0195121686 | 478
pages | PDF | 7,8 MB

The Worlds of Medieval Europe updates and revises traditional textbook
representations of the Middle Ages by balancing the conventional focus
on political affairs, especially those of northern Europe, with
equally detailed attention to medieval society as it developed in the
Mediterranean. The result is a nuanced portrayal of a multifarious
western world that was sharply divided between its northern and
southern aspects. By also integrating the histories of the Islamic and
Byzantine world into the main narrative, the text brings new life to
the continuum of interaction–social, cultural, and intellectual, as
well as commercial–that existed among all three societies. In
addition, it describes ways in which the medieval Latin West attempted
to understand the unified and rational structure of the human cosmos,
which they believed existed beneath the observable diversity and
disorder of the world. This effort to re-create a human ordering of
“unity through diversity” provides an essential key to understanding
medieval Europe and the ways in which it regarded and reacted to the
worlds around it. The Worlds of Medieval Europe is an ideal text for
undergraduate courses in medieval history, Western civilization, the
history of Christianity, and Muslim-Christian relations. It also
serves as an excellent supplement for courses on the history of a
specific country in the medieval period, the history of medieval art,
or the history of the European economy.

“If workplace conflict is inevitable, becoming a conflict competent
leader is one of the most valuable skill sets a leader can possess.
Runde and Flanagan clearly lay out how destructive conflict can be
prevented while fostering the kind of constructive debate and creative
solutions which businesses need to thrive.”
—Joanne McCree, former vice president, human resources, IBM

“Their ability to assimilate and describe what managers actually face
in dealing with conflict is a key factor in making this book unique
from others. No self-help manual on handling conflict that I’ve ever
seen addresses the basics like this book.”
—Kenneth Bradt, past president, Society of Consulting Psychologists

“Competency in managing conflict is perhaps the most under-recognized
component of successful leadership. This book, once read, should
remain on the shelf of every leader for handy reference.”
—Dan Dana, Mediation Training Institute International; author,
Managing Differences

“Our personal professional development is a constant pursuit in our
quest to be the best we can possibly be. Dealing with conflict is a

Twelve essays from a team of European experts examine the struggle
that broke out between secular and religious forces in late
nineteenth-century Europe. They highlight the role of trans-national
forces and their interaction with local conditions. This collection
combines an account of the impact of secular-religious strife, at the
level of high politics, with case studies that elucidate the meaning
of culture war for specific regions and communities.

Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and the Global Jihad: A New Conflict Paradigm
for the West
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs | ISBN 9652180564 | 2007-01-18 |
PDF | 88 pages | 1.6 MB

The Middle East has undergone revolutionary changes in the last few
years. For most of the 1990s it was the conventional wisdom that the
key to regional stability was to be found in the resolution of the
Arab-Israeli conflict and, as a result, Western diplomatic energies
were primarily focused on that area. Now radical Islam is gaining
strength among the Palestinians with the victory of Hamas in the 2006
parliamentary elections of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas and its
allies completely reject a negotiated solution to the Arab-Israeli
conflict and align themselves with jihadi organizations across the
region. As a result, the Arab-Israeli conflict has become increasingly
a part of the much larger struggle between radical Islam and the West.
At the same time, Iran is more determined than ever to achieve
regional hegemony. Indeed, the Sunni-Shiite rivalry is likely to
emerge as the central axis of conflict in the Middle East in the years
to come. Given this new strategic context, the U.S. and its Western
allies have enormous leverage with the threatened Sunni Arab states.
As a consequence, the West does not have to pay for their cooperation
in Israeli coin. The book includes top quality pictures and maps

=======================================

Current global tensions and the spread of terrorism have resurrected
in the West a largely negative perception of Islamic society, an ill
will fueled by centuries of conflict and prejudice. Shedding light on
the history behind these hostile feelings, Frederick Quinn’s timely
volume traces the Western image of Islam from its earliest days to
recent times.

Quinn establishes four basic themes around which the image of Islam
gravitates throughout history: the Prophet as Antichrist, heretic, and
Satan; the Prophet as Fallen Christian, corrupted monk, or Arab
Lucifer; the prophet as sexual deviant, polygamist, and charlatan, and
the Prophet as Wise Easterner, Holy Person, and dispenser of wisdom. A
feature of the book is a strong portrayal of Islam in literature, art,
music, and popular culture, drawing on such sources as Cervantes’s Don
Quixote; the Orientalism of numerous visual artists; the classical
music of Monteverdi and Mozart; and more recent cultural
manifestations, such as music hall artists like Peter Dawson and Edith
Piaf; and stage or silver screen representations like The Garden of
Allah, The Sheik, Aladdin, and The Battle of Algiers. Quinn argues
that an outpouring of positive information on basically every aspect
of Islamic life has yet to vanquish the hostile and malformed ideas
from the past. Conflict, mistrus misunderstanding characterize the
Muslim-Christian encounter, and growing examples of cooperation are
often overshadowed by anger and suspicion. In this important book,
Quinn highlights long-standing historical prejudices but also
introduces the reader to some of the landmark voices in history that
have worked toward a greater understanding of Islam.

Dictionary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Culture, History and
Politics
by Claude Faure
MacMillan Reference Books | ISBN 0028659775 | 2004 | PDF | 8 MB | 511
pages, two-volume set

The often-violent conflict between the state of Israel and the
displaced Palestinian people occupies newspaper headlines and
television news every day. Despite such coverage, many people still
understand very little about the cause of this all but undeclared war.
Untenable promises of former colonizers, access to water, religious
and cultural traditions as entwined as they are distinct have all
contributed to what is arguably the greatest global problem of our time.

* The Dictionary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict covers the
history of the conflict, going back to the birth of Zionism at the end
of the 19th century.
* The two-volume set covers five Arab-Israeli wars, and provides
biographies of political personnel in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon,
Jordan and the occupied territories.
* The Dictionary provides clear definitions and comprehensive
explanations of the elements at play — history, geography, religion,
demographics and more — and supports the acquisition of knowledge
about this topic, not just dissemination of information.

practical guide, author Gini Graham Scott shows readers how to
identify the reason for the conflict, recognize and control the
emotional factors, and find the best solution. Disagreements,
Disputes, and All-Out War offers a simple but proven system for
resolving conflicts resulting from:
* poor communication and misunderstandings
* different agendas, interests, and values
* political power struggles
* incorrect assumptions about others’ motives and actions
* difficult people
Written in an accessible, conversational style, packed with real-life
examples, and including simple exercises and tools to help assess
conflict situations, this indispensable guide shows readers how to
handle whatever life throws at them.

The Way of Conflict: Elemental Wisdom for Resolving Disputes and
Transcending Differences
New World Library | 224 Pages | ISBN 1577314492 | 2004 | CHM | 3.35 MB

The Way of Conflict teaches strategies for using time-tested knowledge
and modern techniques to confidently engage in any dispute and reach a
balanced resolution. The book integrates the wealth of conflict skills
found throughout the world’s major religious and indigenous traditions
with the latest scientific systems and conflict resolution theory.
Using the cross-cultural metaphor of the four natural elements -
earth, water, fire, and air - it identifies innate conflicts in
personalities and offers productive paths through the chaos of
conflict. Combining her extensive experience as a licensed mediator
and corporate trainer with insight gained from years of spiritual
study, Deidre Combs uses assessment tests, anecdotes from indigenous
and religious traditions, and illustrative folktales to show how to
quickly assess a conflict and implement an appropriate resolution
strategy. The Way of Conflict helps people overcome the sense of
hopelessness they feel when facing personal, national, or
international conflicts, and can help improve relationships and
decrease levels of stress and frustration.

Reshaping the Future: Education and Post-Conflict Reconstruction
World Bank | ISBN: 0821359592 | 2005 | 120 pages | PDF | 0.7 MB

The aim of Reshaping the Future is to draw international attention to
the key role that education can play in both preventing conflict and
in reconstructing post-conflict societies. The author also hopes to
alert developing countries and donors alike to the devastating
consequences of conflict on a country’s education systems and
outcomes, as well to emphasize the importance of maximizing the
opportunities to reform education systems presented by a
reconstruction setting, adopting a long-term development perspective,
and emphasizing equity and quality in the delivery of education services.

Every education system has the potential to exacerbate the conditions
that contribute to violent conflict. Based on this notion, the author
argues that education warrants high priority in both humanitarian
response and post-conflict reconstruction. The central message of this
book is that education plays key role in both conflict prevention and
in the reconstruction of post-conflict societies. It highlights
significant findings on education and post-conflict reconstruction
drawn from thorough research and literature review, a survey and
database of key indicators for 52 conflict-affected countries, and a
review of 12 country studies.

In a society overrun by commercial clutter, religion has become yet
another product sold in the consumer marketplace, and faiths of all
kinds must compete with a myriad of more entertaining and more
convenient leisure activities. Brands of Faith argues that in order to
compete effectively, faiths have had to become brands - easily
recognizable symbols and spokespeople with whom religious prospects
can make immediate connections.

Mara Einstein shows how religious branding has expanded over the past
twenty years to create a blended world of commerce and faith, where
the sacred becomes secular and the secular sacred. In a series of
fascinating case studies of faith brands, she explores the
significance of branded church courses, such as Alpha and The Purpose
Driven Life, mega-churches, and the popularity of the televangelist
Joel Olsteen and television presenter Oprah Winfrey, as well as the
rise of Kaballah. She asks what the consequences of this religious
marketing will be, and outlines the possible results of religious
commercialism - good and bad. Repackaging religion - updating music,
creating teen-targeted bibles - is justifiable and necessary. However,
when the content becomes obscured, religion may lose its unique
selling proposition - the very ability to raise us above the market.

While American leaders wage war on extremists in the Middle East, they
are dangerously detached from a potentially greater threat closer to
home. In Breeding Bin Ladens, Zachary Shore asserts that the growing
ambivalence of Europe’s Muslims poses risks to national identities,
international security, and the transatlantic alliance. Europe’s
failure to integrate its Muslim millions, combined with America’s
battered image in the Muslim world, have left too many Western Muslims
easy prey for violent dogmas. Until America and Europe adopt new
strategies, Shore argues, Europe will increasingly become the
incubation ground for breeding new Bin Ladens. The U.S. continues to
spend billions of dollars and lose thousands of its young men and
women to combat Islamic extremists, a group estimated to be as small
as fifty thousand. What Western leaders have not done, says Shore, is
seek to understand the millions of moderate Muslims who live
peacefully in the United States and Europe. Many in this
extraordinarily diverse group are deeply ambivalent toward perceived
Western values.

While they may admire America’s economic or technological might, many
are appalled by its crass consumerism, sexualization of women, lack of
social justice, and putative hypocritical foreign policies. Shore
offers a deeply nuanced and hopeful consideration of Islam’s future in
the West. Cautioning Western leaders against an anti-terrorist
tunnel-vision that could ultimately backfire, Shore proposes bold,
creative, and controversial solutions for attracting the hearts and
minds of moderate Muslims living in the West.

Lectures on Macroeconomics”
by Olivier Jean Blanchard, Stanley Fischer
The MIT Press | 1989-03-21 | ISBN: 0262022834 | 664 pages | PDF | 23,8 Mb

Lectures on Macroeconomics provides the first comprehensive
description and evaluation of macroeconomic theory in many years.
While the authors’ perspective is broad, they clearly state their
assessment of what is important and what is not as they present the
essence of macroeconomic theory today.

The main purpose of Lectures on Macroeconomics is to characterize and
explain fluctuations in output, unemployment and movement in prices.
The most important fact of modern economic history is persistent long
term growth, but as the book makes clear, this growth is far from
steady. The authors analyze and explore these fluctuations.

Topics include consumption and investment; the Overlapping Generations
Model; money; multiple equilibria, bubbles, and stability; the role of
nominal rigidities; competitive equilibrium business cycles, nominal
rigidities and economic fluctuations, goods, labor and credit markets;
and monetary and fiscal policy issues. Each of chapters 2 through 9
discusses models appropriate to the topic. Chapter 10 then draws on
the previous chapters, asks which models are the workhorses of
macroeconomics, and sets the models out in convenient form. A
concluding chapter analyzes the goals of economic policy, monetary
policy, fiscal policy, and dynamic inconsistency.
Written as a text for graduate students with some background in
macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics, Lectures on
Macroeconomics also presents topics in a self contained way that makes
it a suitable reference for professional economists.

“Inflation Targeting, Debt, and the Brazilian Experience, 1999 to 2003 “
by Francesco Giavazzi , Ilan Goldfajn , and Santiago Herrera
The MIT Press | 2005 | ISBN: 0262072599 | 325 pages | PDF | 1.55 Mb

Inflation targeting — when central bank policies set specific
inflation rate objectives — is widely used by both developed and
developing countries around the world (although not by the United
States or the European Central Bank). This collection of original
essays looks at how Brazil’s policy of inflation targeting, coupled
with a floating exchange rate, survived a series of severe economic
shocks and examines the policy lessons that can be drawn from Brazil’s
experience.After a successful start in early 1999, Brazil’s policy
regime had to manage mounting difficulties, including a sudden
reversal of capital flows and its effects on the exchange rate and
public debt, the contagion of Argentina’s severe economic problems, a
domestic energy crisis, and the political uncertainty of the 2002
presidential campaign. The contributors, prominent Brazilian and
international economists, draw important lessons from Brazil’s
experience, including the necessity of accompanying monetary policy
with fiscal improvement, the trade-offs involved in dollar-linked
debt, the importance of fiscal institutions in an emerging market
economy, and the importance of keeping inflation under control.

“Market, Class, and Employment”
by Patrick McGovern, Stephen Hill, Colin Mills, and Michael White
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-01-11 | ISBN: 0199213372 | 256
pages | PDF | 1,1 Mb

Much of the received wisdom about the world of work emphasizes the
marketization of the employment relationship; the decline of
class-based forms of inequality, and the individualization of
employment relations. Non-standard forms of employment, the delayering
of organizational hierarchies, and the use of individual
performance-based payment systems are all held up as examples of a new
neo-liberal order in which employers and employees no longer feel a
sense of obligation to each other. Drawing on a range of employee and
employer surveys, including the authors own Working in Britain 2000
survey, this ambitious study presents a comprehensive examination of
the conditions, attitudes, and experiences of British employees from
the mid-1980s to the early years of this century. The authors’
analyses provides a compelling critique of the received wisdom, while
also providing an original, alternative account of recent developments
in work and labour markets. Along the way, the book covers such
topical issues as the changing nature of trade union membership, the
consequences of Britain’s ‘long hours’ culture’, and the apparent
inability of women to ask for pay rises. Significantly, the authors
seek to reposition debates about the future of work by restoring the
concepts of contracts and social class to the analysis of the
employment relationship. Based on the ESRC funded Future of Work
research programme this book is destined to shape our understanding of
employment in Britain for the foreseeable future.

principal techniques of econometrics from ordinary least squares
through cointegration. The book is also distinctive in developing both
time-series and cross-section analysis fully, giving the reader a
unified framework for understanding and integrating results.

Econometrics has many useful features and covers all the important
topics in econometrics in a succinct manner. All the estimation
techniques that could possibly be taught in a first-year graduate
course, except maximum likelihood, are treated as special cases of GMM
(generalized methods of moments). Maximum likelihood estimators for a
variety of models (such as probit and tobit) are collected in a
separate chapter. This arrangement enables students to learn various
estimation techniques in an efficient manner. Eight of the ten
chapters include a serious empirical application drawn from labor
economics, industrial organization, domestic and international
finance, and macroeconomics. These empirical exercises at the end of
each chapter provide students a hands-on experience applying the
techniques covered in the chapter. The exposition is rigorous yet
accessible to students who have a working knowledge of very basic
linear algebra and probability theory. All the results are stated as
propositions, so that students can see the points of the discussion
and also the conditions under which those results hold. Most
propositions are proved in the text.

For those who intend to write a thesis on applied topics, the
empirical applications of the book are a good way to learn how to
conduct empirical research. For the theoretically inclined, the
no-compromise treatment of the basic techniques is a good preparation
for more advanced theory courses.

The Interpretation of Financial Statements
Collins | 1998-01-15 | ISBN: 0887309135 | 144 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB

Benjamin Graham has been called the most important investment thinker
of the twentieth century. As a master investor, pioneering stock
analyst, and mentor to investment superstars, he has no peer.
The volume you hold in your hands is Graham’s timeless guide to
interpreting and understanding financial statements. It has long been
out of print, but now joins Graham’s other masterpieces, The
Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, as the three priceless
keys to understanding Graham and value investing.

The advice he offers in this book is as useful and prescient today as
it was sixty years ago. As he writes in the preface, “if you have
precise information as to a company’s present financial position and
its past earnings record, you are better equipped to gauge its future
possibilities. And this is the essential function and value of
security analysis.”

Written just three years after his landmark Security Analysis, The
Interpretation of Financial Statements gets to the heart of the
master’s ideas on value investing in astonishingly few pages. Readers
will learn to analyze a company’s balance sheets and income statements
and arrive at a true understanding of its financial position and
earnings record. Graham provides simple tests any reader can apply to
determine the financial health and well-being of any company.

This volume is an exact text replica of the first edition of The
Interpretation of Financial Statements, published by Harper & Brothers
in 1937. Graham’s original language has been restored, and readers can
be assured that every idea and technique presented here appears
exactly as Graham intended.

Highly practical and accessible, it is an essential guide for all
business people–and makes the perfect companion volume to Graham’s
investment masterpiece The Intelligent Investor.

Terrorism in Asymmetric Conflict: Ideological and Structural Aspects
(Sipri Research Reports)
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-05-25 | ISBN: 0199533555 | 200
pages | PDF | 2 MB

The book’s main focus is on extremist ideologies and structural
capabilities of violent non-state actors that employ terrorist means.
Ideologies and organizational patterns are seen as the main
comparative advantages of such groups in an asymmetrical confrontation
at all levels, from the local to the global. Resolution of the key
issues of the armed conflict is seen as essential, but this is not
sufficient to undermine the foundations of terrorism generated by that
conflict, unless the structural capabilities of militant groups are
fully disrupted and the role of extremist ideologies in driving their
terrorist activities is neutralized.

With its central focus on Islamist terrorism, the book argues that the
quasi-religious, supra-national ideology of violent Islamism,
especially in its most ambitious transnational forms, cannot be
effectively counterbalanced at the ideological level either by Western
democratic secularism or by the use of moderate versions of Islam
itself. The author concludes that unless transnational violent
Islamism is, first, ‘nationalized’ and, second, transformed in
organizational terms through its being coopted into a more regular
political process, it is unlikely to become amenable to persuasion or
any external influence, let alone to be destroyed by the repression on
which it thrives.

Searching For Peace - Second Edition: The Road to TRANSCEND
by Johan Galtung and Carl G. Jacobsen
Pluto Press | ISBN: 0745319297 | 2002-05-20 | PDF | 320 pages

This new, updated and extensively revised edition of “Searching for
Peace” is one of the first books to bridge the gap between peace and
conflict studies, world order and globalization. Revealing deep
structures and deep cultures of violence and finding in them the
reasons for increasing violence and peacekeeping failures, it presents
the lessons that can be learned from the TRANSCEND approach, adopted
as a UN training guide. A critical and piercing analysis of the
short-comings of conventional approaches to conflict resolution,
realpolitik and worsening dynamics of global violence which, if not
resolved, threaten even more catastrophic destruction in the future.
The book maps the conditions and path to sustainable peace, and the
challenge for peace by peaceful means.

“Value, Capitalist Dynamics, and Money (Research in Political Economy) “
by P. Zarembka
JAI Press; 1 edition | 2000 | ISBN: 0762306963 | 370 pages | PDF | 17,6 Mb

This volume begins with an introduction to Marx’s theory of capitalism
in his own words, with his examples modernized from use of shillings
and pence as subdivisions of the Pound. Well-known 1901 work on the
theory of crises in capitalism by Michael Tugan-Baranowsky is
translated into English for the first time, with a Preface placing it
in context. The political activism and theoretical work of Henryk
Grossman through 1926 is summarized in some detail, and a rarely-known
brief article of his from 1919 included.Ambiguity in Marx’s definition
of accumulation of capital and the differing directions Lenin and
Luxemburg took with it are next analyzed, with a more precise
definition offered. Debate, begun in the last volume, over the
valuation of means of production and its effect on the possibility of
a falling tendency of the profit rate is taken a step forward as
contrasting positions are developed.Finally, credit money as an
advanced form of money is analyzed and the post-Keynesian analysis of
it, originating from Kaldor, subject to critique. Several theories of
inflation theory are reviewed, with focus on the agencies causing
inflation. A rediscovery of Marxian inflation theory is proposed.
