The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins
Helicopters patrolled low over the city, filming blocks of burning cars and buildings, mobs breaking into storefronts, and the vicious beating of truck driver Reginald Denny. For a week in April 1992, Los Angeles transformed into a cityscape of rage, purportedly due to the exoneration of four policemen who had beaten Rodney King. It should be no surprise that such intense anger erupted from something deeper than a single incident. In The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins, Brenda Stevenson tells the dramatic story of an earlier trial, a turning point on the road to the 1992 riot. On March 16, 1991, fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins, an African American who lived locally, entered the Empire L...
The Subversion
The current Western economical crisis will only deepen. To understand this, you have to take a look at what is behind the normally seen scenes of capitalism, communism and even democracy itself. The book includes real life examples from today`s Finland, USA and France that support the concept of the book, which is the ideological groundwork for the new Western Alternative. Enter the 21st century revolution
Political Psychology of Turkish Political Behavior
The primary motivation for this book is to focus on something crucial that is missing in Turkish political science: well-founded theories on the Turkish voter and empiricism in scholarly research. Given the absence of such theories, one could ask what then the best model is for explaining a Turkish citizen’s vote choice and political behaviour, and what schools of thought Turkish political science has. Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer a satisfactory response to either question at this point, and among the clear deficiencies in the current literature the primary one is the lack of a robust model explaining how Turkish citizens form their political attitudes, engage in political pa...
Societal Peace and Ideal Citizenship for Turkey
Globalisation and neo-liberalism have been impacting the nation-state and leading the full citizenship concept into crisis, not only in Turkey but also in the world. While one reason for this crisis is the decline of the welfare state, another reason stems from the fluidity of borders that distorts the classical patterns of the nation-state such as meta-identity. The existing Turkish citizenship inherited a strong state idea with passive citizenship tradition from the Ottoman Empire. However, this understanding is no longer sustainable for Turkish society. The definition of citizenship through state-led nationalism, secularism, and a free market economy creates societal crises in politics and society. The aim of this book is to find out the answer of what should be the ideal citizenship regime for Turkey. Various scholars dealing with Turkish socio-politics analyze different aspects and problems of Turkish citizenship regime that should be tackled for finding a recipe for ideal citizenship in Turkey.
Kumous (v. 2)
Tämä kirja antaa helppotajuisen sisäkuvan maailmasta, miten se on kehittynyt ja siitä yhteiskunnasta, missä elämme. Se on shokeeraava eikä jätä ketään kylmäksi. Se on ajaton, aivan kuten sen täytyykin olla. Se kertoo ihmismielen kyvyistä käsitellä mitä erilaisimpia seikkoja ja antaa lukijalle tunteen läheisyydestä; jotain rohkeaa ja syvää, mikä on muotoutumassa juuri nyt. Ihmiset ovat levottomia ja tuntevat, että maailma on muuttumassa, jotain on tapahtumassa lähiaikoina ja aivan oikein: kirja enteilee muutosta, pukee sen sanoiksi. Kirja on historiaa itse, ei vain pelkkä kirja. Teksti tulee muuttamaan historiaa, mutta mikä vielä tärkeämpää Kirja on taidetta, mikä antaa yksilöllisiä vastauksia; se hyväilee terävien tajuntaa ja rohkaisee tavallista, elämää kaipaavaa ihmistä.
Cooperatives in Context
Cooperative in Context: Two Countries, Two Outcomes is an inquiry into the relationship between cooperatives' performance and the contexts in which they operate. Five cooperative scholars examine Norway and Turkey as two countries with significant presence of cooperatives. Their coverage of various social, economic and political contexts to which cooperatives are exposed reveal intriguing answers to the question of why cooperatives perform so differently in these two societies.
The Great Catalyst
For over half a century, European Union has been a promising endeavor of cooperative institutionalism. It has shown that even nation states with a long history of conflict are capable of collaborating with one another to serve their own interests. However, the EU project has also made visible that there is no one-size-fits-all policy in economics that can be applied to all countries with success. Economics starts and ends with the society. Common culture determines the outcomes of economic policies, and ordinary people pick up the bill when policies turn out to be failures. This book presents two different tales of the European Union to provide an empirical challenge to oversimplified assump...
