First published in 1981, Capitalism in the UK clearly states the Marxist position arguing that capitalism dominates the world economy, and that the world's trade and multinational enterprises favour the capitalist system. It shows how orthodox economics is not value-free and how orthodox economics implicitly assumes that capitalism is the only possible form of economic organisation for society. Designed for students on Political Economy and Marxists Economics courses, this comprehensive and concise volume provides an important counterweight to traditional first- and second-year introductory textbooks.

Nathan Gerard draws upon the pathbreaking insights of pediatrician and psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott to offer a new set of ideas in the novel domain of contemporary work life and its discontents. Locating Winnicott within a broad landscape of critical scholarship that dissects work's perils, the book positions Winnicott as both a radical critic and creative advocate for building a different kind of work life--one that might make room for the presence of self. By shuffling the discourse on neoliberal subjectivity to reclaim what Winnicott calls unit status of the separate self, Gerard differentiates Winnicott from the relational tradition by advocating for Winnicott's non-relational aspects. Through such analysis, the book reveals how work and home have become two sides of the same impoverished coin, each contributing to a legitimately bad environment that perpetuates self-absence and annihilates one's unique sense of feeling real and alive. Winnicott and Labor's Eclipse of Life will be of interest to readers of Winnicott and psychoanalysis, organization and management studies, and anyone hoping to deepen their engagement with the dynamics of contemporary work life.

"This book explores the role of external powers and international organisations in media assistance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through analysis of key documents, media reports, and interviews with key participants it examines the main actors, their roles, and the way in which they influenced the media and society. Bosnia and Herzegovina remains one of the biggest experiments in international intervention in modern history. Media assistance, as well as international intervention, was an enormous project which involved many donors and recipient organisations, and large amounts of money, but it is just one of many countries where democratisation and state-building took place with little to no input from the local community. Since the mid-eighties, media assistance has been an integral part of international intervention used as a tool of democratisation in post-conflict countries and societies. The process is often led and created outside these countries and implemented by various international organisations, led by technocrats and dictated by the will of donors. The author uses the case study of Bosnia and Herzegovina to assess this in a broader context. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Southeast Europe, international organisations, peacebuilding, and rebuilding society in postwar countries, as well as journalists and policy-makers"--

"Both the Indian economy and the Indian population are growing at a brisk pace-but almost three hundred million Indians do not have electricity and over eight hundred million still use traditional biomass for their daily cooking needs. In this book, Johannes Urpelainen argues that India's extreme inequality and institutional shortcomings have pushed Indians to find private solutions to energy issues, from private borewells to diesel generators to rooftop solar panels. Yet such solutions are beyond the means of India's vast rural population, who struggle not just with energy access but with climate disruption, groundwater depletion, and pollution. Urpelainen describes India's environment, demographics and economy; explores how rapid population growth and economic development have brought the country to its current state of environmental degradation and energy poverty; and discusses policy solutions and possible future scenarios"--

"The EU is in crisis. This crisis extends beyond the challenges of Covid-19, Brexit, the Eurozone, and mass migration. It cuts to the core of the EU itself. This text unpacks all dimensions of the EU in crisis, and analyses its implications for the EU and its member states. It argues that crises and challenges are no longer individual events facing the EU, but rather are a sustained condition that has changed the relationship between member states, the functioning of institutions, the nature of public engagement and the prospects for integration. Written by a team of leading experts, this book covers: - Cutting-edge theory - Recent high-impact crisis cases, including health, the environment and threats to democracy - Institutional effects of crises - Political dynamics - Discussion of longer-term implications of the EU This is the perfect companion for those studying and researching contemporary challenges facing the EU, European integration, and crisis management and transboundary crises more broadly"--

In the past three decades, radical right parties had the opportunity to directly influence political developments from the highest public office in many post-communist Central and Eastern European countries. Oliver Kossack provides the first comprehensive study on government formation with radical right parties in these countries. Even after the turn of the millennium, some distinct features of the post-communist context persist, such as coalitions between radical right and centre-left parties. In addition to original empirical insights, the time-sensitive approach of this study also advances the discussion about concepts and methodological approaches within the discipline

"Canadian Multiculturalism and the Far Right examines a neglected aspect of the history of 20th century Canadian multiculturalism and the far right to illuminate the ideological foundations of the concept of 'third force'. Focusing on the particular thought of ultra-conservative Ukrainian Canadian Walter J. Bossy during his time in Montreal (1931-1970s), this book demonstrates that the idea that Canada was composed of three equally important groups emerged from a context defined by reactionary ideas on ethnic diversity and integration. Two broad questions shape this research: first, what the meaning originally attached to the idea of a 'third force' was, and what the intentions behind the conceptualization of a trichotomic Canada were; and second, whether Bossy's understanding of the 'third force' precedes, or is related in any way to, postwar debates on liberal multiculturalism at the core of which was the existence of a 'third force'. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of multiculturalism, radical-right ideology and the far right, and Canadian history and politics"--
