China claims Taiwan as a renegade province. While saying it prefers peaceful unification, it has consistently refused to renounce the use of force to incorporate the democratic island. Increasingly, Taiwan has become a potential flash point for military conflict between China and the United States. After exploring the historical roots of the Taiwan question, The State of Taiwan offers an in-depth analysis of the international legal status of Taiwan. An extensive epilogue throws the bridge between the international legal findings and geopolitics, and outlines the strategy the world’s democracies should adopt in light of those findings.

Free Download John Atkinson Hobson, V. I. Lenin, "The Morals of Economic Internationalism: With an Excerpt From Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism By V. I. Lenin"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1528715152 | EPUB | pages: 31 | 0.1 mb
First published in 1920, this fascinating treatise by renowned English economist John Atkinson Hobson looks at the subject of internationalism, exploring the moral factors and issues related to it as well as the ramifications of international cooperation in the light of the cessation of the First World War. This detailed treatise will appeal to those with an interest in world politics and economics, especially that of Europe and the aftermath of The Great War. John Atkinson Hobson (1858 – 1940) was an English social scientist and economist most famous for his work on imperialism-which notably had an influence on Vladimir Lenin-as well as his theory of underconsumption. His early work also questioned the classical theory of rent and predicted the Neoclassical "marginal productivity" theory of distribution. Other notable works by this author include: "Evolution of Modern Capitalism" (1894), "Problem of the Unemployed" (1896), and "John Ruskin: Social Reformer" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition together with an excerpt from "Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism" by V. I. Lenin.
