Product Description: The dominant view in social science has been that the modern world shows a pattern of linear development in which all positive social trends rise (albeit at an uncertain speed) toward a relatively homogenized world. In the post-1945 period, some analysts contested this linear model, arguing that the modern world was rather one of escalating polarization...read more

The focus of the book is both historical and contemporary, exploring the geopolitical enframing and imagination of development in key historical junctures such as the Cold War, the end of empire and the War on Terror but also examining what the rise of new state donors such as China, Brazil and India means for established modes of development co-operation and the development paradigm as a whole. In particular the book seeks to further the dialogue between critical geopolitics, critical IR and critical development studies in setting out the contours of a postcolonial geopolitics of development that both incorporates an engagement with the complex and rich experiences and scholarship of different parts of the non-western world and seeks to move beyond the parochialism of much Political Geography and IR scholarship. Thus a key theme throughout the book will be the ways in which understandings of geopolitics and readings of the contemporary geopolitical landscape are context specific and differ between North and South (and even within and between different regions of the South). This text provides a unique and original analysis and review of key contemporary shifts in the landscape of international development including the emergence of new metageographies of development (such as enclaves), the growing importance of social movements based around resistance and protest in the South and the changing understandings of foreign aid and visions of south-south cooperation. In addition one of the major themes of the book is the way in which established conceptions of development are currently being challenged, either by the rise of new 'Southern' donors pursuing their own state-led visions of international cooperation ‘from above’ or by the growth of social movements formulating alternative visions of development ‘from below’, highlighting the pressing need to reconsider established discourses on development and to formulate new interdisciplinary and postcolonial dialogues and perspectives. Drawing on the author's rich original empirical research, whilst condensing existing published and unpublished material, this is an essential and unique critical analysis and review aimed at academics and students working in the field of development within a wide range of disciplines.

Uncertain Worlds is the definitive presentation of the evolution of world-systems analysis from the point of view of its founder, Immanuel Wallerstein. Few theorists have offered a more systematic theory of what has become known as 'globalisation' than Wallerstein. The book includes a one-of-kind interview with Wallerstein by Carlos Rojas, a conversation between Wallerstein and Lemert about the history of the field as it has come down to the present time, a long essay by Lemert on the uncertainties of the modern world-system, as well as a preface by Rojas and a concluding essay by Wallerstein. No other book lends such biographical, historical, and personal nuance to the biography of world-systems analysis and, thus, to the history of our times. The will be a key reference book for students of global politics, economics and international relations.

Putting the two themes together, they also analyze the relationship between scholarship and the rest of the world. The book is published to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Fernand Braudel Center. Contributors Samir Amin, Christopher Chase-Dunn, Bart Tromp,. Claudia von Werlhof, Giovanni Arrighi, Pablo Gonzalez-Casanova, Marcel van der Linden, Randall Collins, Mahm ood Mamdani, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Michel-Rolph Trouillot, Janet Abu-Lughod, Maurice Aymard, and Immanuel Wallerstein.

Operators of commercial vessels have known and favored diesel engines for years. Now more and more pleasureboaters are choosing diesel power. Despite their apparent complexity, diesels are elegantly simple machines that can be given an almost-indefinite life span by painless preventive maintenance techniques and proper operation. In many cases, these methods differ sharply from ingrained automotive practices. In fact, some of these habits, ported over from the family passenger car, can be the death of a good marine diesel. In Keep Your Marine Diesel Running, Richard Thiel has written a survival guide for the owners of all types and sizes of diesel-powered watercraft. Using the premise that the reader knows (and cares) little about engines of any kind--as long as they provide reliable service--Thiel gives a brief and painless overview of how diesel engines work, and outlines an easily followed program to dramatically extend the lives of marine engines. And if you should need repairs, Thiel tells you how to find and deal with a mechanic, how to read a bill, and how to tell if you're being taken care of or being taken for a ride. Written specifically for the non-mechanic, Keep Your Marine Diesel Running is the complete survival guide for owners of diesel-powered boats of all types and sizes. Here is: How a Marine Diesel Works, including turbochargers, cooling, fuel, lubrication, and exhaust systems. How to Operate a Marine Diesel Engine to provide the longest, most troublefree life. Includes daily and periodic logs and checklists, and details proper operation from start-up to shutdown. How to Care for Your Diesel's oil, fuel, and cooling systems; how to do it yourself; how to choose and deal with a mechanic; how to do your own basic troubleshooting; and what tools and spare parts you should carry. This is the book that should come with every marine diesel ever sold--but didn't. A marine diesel is a big investment. Follow the simple program presented here and you'll be able to keep it running troublefree for years to come. "Simple, easy-to-use, and easy-to-understand advice . . .
