Following substantial policy reforms in many countries, the past decade has been characterized by a remarkable increase of long-term private capital flows to the developing world. However, the bulk of these investments has concentrated on a few economies at the intermediate level of the international income distribution, while the large number of low-income countries has been mostly neglected by international investors. Starting from these observations, International Investment, Political Risk, and Growth analyzes the potential growth effects of liberalizing investment regimes in developing economies and offers an explanation for the apparent bias of private capital flows towards middle-income countries. It demonstrates that the removal of investment barriers may liberate an economy from a vicious circle of poverty, unproductive saving, and low growth, and presents a novel approach to analyzing the role of political risk as a major impediment to greater private capital inflows. Offering a combination of theoretical models and empirical analysis, and discussing both the historical evidence and the recent literature, this book contributes to a better understanding of the determinants and consequences of international investment in developing countries

This new volume provides a theoretical and empirical perspective on the value, potential and contribution that qualitative research methodologies bring to the analysis of housing policy issues within an international context. This encompasses key housing issues, including: the meaning and significance of home; homelessness; resident participation; housing renewal and gentrification; socially mixed housing communities; Irish Gypsies; and post-apartheid housing policies. The book also includes discussion of specific methodological challenges and ethical dilemmas faced by researchers (and policy-makers). The book's core strength lies in its ability to showcase the versatility and practical application of qualitative research in housing studies.

"Critical international relations is both firmly established and rapidly expanding, and this Handbook offers a wide-ranging survey of contemporary research. It affords insights into exciting developments, more challenging issues, and less prominent topics, examining debates around questions of imperialism, race, gender, ethics and aesthetics, and offering both an overview of the existing state of critical international politics and an agenda-setting collection that highlights emerging areas and fosters future research. Sections cover: critique and the discipline; relations beyond humanity; art and narrative; war, religion and security; otherness and diplomacy; spaces and times; resistance; and embodiment and intimacy. An international group of expert scholars, whose contributions are commissioned for the volume, provide chapters that facilitate teaching at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level, inspire new generations of researchers in the field, and promote collaboration, cross-fertilisation and inspiration across sub-fields often treated separately, such as feminism, postcolonialism and poststructuralism. The volume sees these strands as complementary not contradictory, and emphasises their shared political goals, shared theoretical resources and complementary empirical practices. Each chapter offers specific, focused, in-depth analysis that complements and exemplifies the broader coverage, making this Routledge Handbook of Critical International Relations essential reading for all students and scholars of international relations"--

National systems of workplace justice contain bodies of principles that set out the obligations of employees, the behaviors that violate those obligations, and the penalties that employers may assess for those violations. These principles establish the standards for determining just cause for discipline and termination of employment. This study is an international comparison of the laws that establish these principles and their application in practice. It finds a broad commonality but some interesting differences.

Ekonomia polityczna w literaturze jest obecna co najmniej od czasów Adama Smitha, jednakże pierwsza definicja międzynarodowej ekonomii politycznej została przedstawiona przez amerykańskiego naukowca Roberta Gilpina w 1975 r. Od momentu zdefiniowania zakresu zainteresowań międzynarodowej ekonomii politycznej stosunków międzynarodowych nastąpił rozwój literatury przedmiotu, który jednak w różny sposób ujmował zasadnicze kwestie wpływu państw narodowych na ład międzynarodowy. Współcześnie międzynarodowa ekonomia polityczna stosunków międzynarodowych obejmuje również studia nad bezpieczeństwem. Subdyscyplina wywodząca się ze stosunków międzynarodowych oprócz zagadnień stricte militarnych obejmuje kwestie wiązane z politycznym, społecznym, ekonomicznym i ekologicznym bezpieczeństwem państw. Organizacje międzynarodowe takie jak Międzynarodowy Fundusz Walutowy, Bank Światowy, czy G–8 poprzez swoją statutową działalność mogą oddziaływać na problemy bezpieczeństwa regionów i poszczególnych państw ; The term international political economy in the literature exists at least since 17th century and is connected to Adam Smith. In the 20th century the first academic definition of political economy was probably formulated by Robert Gilpinin in 1975. Since that studies on international political economy flourished and presented different view of the phenomenon. Today the international political economy cover several areas including international security. International organisations such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank or G–8 base on its statutory activity can influence regional and state security.
