Free Download Gender, Work, and Family in a Chinese Economic Zone: Laboring in Paradise By Nancy E Riley (auth.)
2013 | 162 Pages | ISBN: 9400755236 | PDF | 1 MB
This book examines the dynamics of power within the families of married women who have migrated from rural areas to China’s Dalian Economic Zone. Engaging the question of whether waged work gives women power in their families, this ethnographic study finds that women do indeed use their new positions and urban status to negotiate their family status. However, women use these new resources not necessarily to promote their own individual liberation, but rather to strengthen their contribution as wives and, especially, as mothers. Thus, this new modernity provides a space for the re-inscribing of traditional roles, even as it may work to give women new-found power within their families. How and why this process occurs is related to the dual inequalities these women face as rural migrants and as women.

Free Download Economic and Political Change in Asia and Europe: Social Movement Analyses By Bernadette Andreosso-O’Callaghan (auth.), Bernadette Andreosso-O’Callaghan, Frédéric Royall (eds.)
2013 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 9400746520 | PDF | 3 MB
Since the 1973 publication of Alain Peyrefitte’s prophetic When China Awakens, developments in East Asia have outstripped even the wildest predictions. China has undergone the fastest industrialization and urbanization process in history, yet tensions there are rising as some realize how far they have been left behind. This volume explores the applicability of European economic and social models to our analysis of East Asia’s and, in particular, China’s situation. Though millions of Chinese and other Asian people have been lifted out of poverty, inequality is rising nonetheless, and contemporary Europe and Asia are both witnessing collective action against rampant economic neoliberalism in the former and the exclusion of minorities in the latter.It is difficult to overstate the relevance of this assessment, which seeks answers to some central questions: Can events in Europe serve as a model for those in East Asia? Are there similarities or differences between the two regions? To what extent do political, economic or social systems stimulate or inhibit collective action? How culturally equivalent are the collective actions of marginalized/ disadvantaged people in the two locations, or are events in Europe symptomatic of specific cultural attributes? Comparing and contrasting the research tools and dominant paradigms in the social and economic sciences in East Asia and Europe, as this volume does, throws out some revealing results.

Free Download C.P. Chandrasekhar, "The Market that Failed: Neoliberal Economic Reforms in India"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 8187496819 | PDF | pages: 274 | 2.8 mb
The explicit adoption of a neoliberal reform programme in mid-1991 by the Indian government was the start of a period of intensive economic liberalization and changed attitudes towards government intervention in the economy. This book surveys the actual experience of the last decade to argue that this strategy has not just failed to deliver sustained growth, but has had damaging consequences from the point of view of employment, poverty alleviation and equity. It covers a wide range of areas, including fiscal and monetary policy, privatization and the experience with foreign direct investment, and analyses the political economy of the reform process. "This is a must read book for both specialists and laypersons who are interested in understanding India’s economic problem." Frontline "A painstaking work of immense importance. . . . An excellent survey . . . . In the debates and deliberations on economic reforms in India, The Market That Failed should have an important place." The Hindu ?

Free Download Kenneth A. Reinert, "The Lure of Economic Nationalism: Beyond Zero Sum"
English | ISBN: 1839982209 | 2023 | 244 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Lure of Economic Nationalism addresses the continued appeal of economic nationalism. It places economic nationalism in both historical and contemporary contexts, from mercantilism and the writings of Friedrich List to Brexit in the United Kingdom and the Trump Administration in the United States. It also considers the alternative to economic nationalism in the form of a rules-based, multilateral trading system and the World Trade Organization. The book argues that going beyond zero-sum outcomes is better suited to address current problems, including rising tides of ethnonationalism in many countries and pandemics. The book is written in an accessible manner and draws deeply from research in economics and political science. It will be of interest to policymakers, economists, political scientists and the informed public.
