Global Voices: Dialogues in International Relations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Derian, James Der / Rosenau, James N. / Smith, Steve, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Who "are" these characters--Westfem and SAR, Tsitsi and SUKA, Mother Courage, SICC, and GORP--and what do they have to say about the state of contemporary international affairs? For a painless yet provocative introduction to some of the most ponderous issues in world politics today, consider this book of dialogues written by leading lights in international relations research, covering everything from the New World Order to the role of postmodernism in constructing an answer to the deconstruction of the Soviet Union."Global Voices" develops as five different "dialoguers" spin out exchanges between and among such protagonists as the archetypal Senior American Researcher, his British and feminist counterparts, a thoughtful young Western feminist, her Third World alter ego, a concerned (but skeptical) citizen, and a set of postmodern personae as elusive as quicksilver. Youth and age, male and female, realist and idealist, science and art, Western and Third World--all find their voices represented here.Between the scenes, the characters' defenses come down along with the Berlin Wall, and the dialogues unravel in tandem with American hegemony, the Soviet republics, and gender-bound visions of "reality." This entertaining survey of issues, theory, and controversy in international relations is appropriate for readers both inside and outside the discipline, and is perfect for students who want to "listen in" on conversations that are reshaping the contours of international political thought as well as action.

Greening NAFTA: The North American Commission for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Markell, David L. / Knox, John H., PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, In , environmental objections to NAFTA resulted in the establishment of the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEe, the first international organization created to address issues related to trade and the environment. The CEC is also the first regional environmental agency in North America with innovative tools, almost unlimited jurisdiction, and unprecedented opportunities for participation by civil society at the international level. The lessons to be drawn from the CEC's experience should be of great value to all those interested in environmental protection and economic integration, regional and global environmental organizations, and participation of civil society in international policy. Surprisingly, however, the CEC has received little scholarly attention, to date. This book is intended to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of how the organization has fulfilled, or failed to fulfill, its mandates.

Mastering Excel : A Problem-Solving Approach

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gips, James, PUBLISHER: Pearson Learning Solutions, Not just another how-to book, "Mastering Excel(R) "goes beyond teaching how to use Excel by demonstrating how to use it for problem-solving. From basics through the advanced, it explains the concepts that underlie the keystrokes and mouse clicks and emphasizes how they can be used to solve real problems. ""Mastering Excel "(R) " "is an excellent book that both students and instructors will like. I have taught college courses from this book and must say that it includes everything you need to know about spreadsheets, and nothing that will not help you. The exercises in each section are also very useful and vary from easy to challenging. But what I like the most about "Mastering Excel "(R) is that it requires and develops critical thinking skills, while students implement their ideas in a very practical context. I have even had students who have learned the material in the book, and then found jobs as a result of how well they know Excel(R).""- Fred J. Rispoli, Dowling College"
