Free Download Charles F. Gritzner, "Northern America (Modern World Cultures)"
English | 2006 | pages: 137 | ISBN: 0791081419 | PDF | 6,6 mb
In a useful reference on the geography of northern America, students can find information about the economic, social, and political influences that affect the world around them. On both a local and global level, Northern America explores the vast cultural realm of the United States and Canada in relation to its environmental diversity and abundance of resource wealth. Although the region has been less ravaged by conflict than any other area of comparable size in the world, northern America is no stranger to human strife. With a large number of people of varied racial and cultural backgrounds living together in one area, Northern America’s label as the world’s "melting pot" has never been more true. Some of the characteristics that help define northern America as a significant part of geographical history, and are covered in this volume, include the allowance of individual freedoms and social mobility, a good health care system, long-life expectancy, and widespread economic prosperity. In this one volume reference, students and teachers of geography will come to know northern America, from the inside out.

Free Download Mark R. Royce, "Ecclesiology, Idealism, and World Polity: The Concordats of the Apostolic See "
English | ISBN: 3031570324 | 2024 | 301 pages | EPUB | 1062 KB
This book provides the only comprehensive analysis of concordats, the international treaties of the Apostolic See in Rome. Identifying the 167 treaties between the papacy and civil commonwealths from 1865 to 2022 at the intersection of canon, comparative, and international law, Royce indicates an overall relationship between the dominance or inferiority of Roman Catholic canon law within the contracting party and the respective ecclesiological or ideational norms of its concordat. Successive case chapters analyzing the concordats with fascist Europe, the German Länder, Latin American countries, France and Austria, the states of the Second Vatican Council, and Third World states illustrate that the norms of concordats with polities of long-standing, entrenched, continuous, or otherwise dominant Roman Catholic canon law concern the Church as an institution, whereas those with polities of new, precarious, inconstant, or otherwise inferior canon law status concern the Church as anadherent to values. This contractual law of the Apostolic See most closely aligns with the tenets of the English School of international theory. As a result, this book posits significant theoretical, legal, and empirical advances in existing knowledge of the international relations and law of the Catholic Church.

Free Download Chandan Deuskar, "Urban Planning in a World of Informal Politics "
English | ISBN: 1512823066 | 2022 | 248 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In many rapidly urbanizing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, local politics undermines the effectiveness of urban planning. Politicians have incentives to ignore formal urban plans and sideline planners, and instead provide urban land and services through informal channels in order to cultivate political constituencies (a form of what political scientists refer to as "clientelism"). This results in inequitable and environmentally damaging patterns of urban growth in some of the largest and most rapidly urbanizing countries in the world. The technocratic planning solutions often advocated by governments and international development organizations are not enough. To overcome this problem, urban planners must understand and adapt to the complex politics of urban informality.
