No one knows when Korean unification will take place. Experts predict that it will take decades, if not more, to overcome the huge economic, social, and political divide between the two Koreas. Howeve
In Making Globalization Happen: The Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege, Sripati explains how, when, through which entities, and for what purposes economic globalization was catalyzed and its effects on the Global South in general and South Asia in particular. Based on an innovative international constitutional political economy framework, Sripati examines how the Western classical liberal constitution has shaped international law developments in this post-colonial era given its salience and comprehensive scope. Presenting a comprehensive narrative of economic globalization, Making Globalization Happen accurately and comprehensively links constitutional globalization to the following UN family-created agendas: peacebuilding, conflict prevention, human security, protection of civilians, sustainable development, global war on terrorism, women, peace, and security, poverty reduction or market-oriented development, ending conflict-related sexual violence, and justice (climate, crimin
We may live in close proximity to others, yet true neighborly connection eludes us. Our communities face extreme segregation by wealth, race, ability, and more. How can we reclaim the meaning of "neighbor" and resuscitate the radical power of Jesus' command to love our neighbor? In this book, Joe Blosser, Executive Director of the Center for Community Engagement, offers new practices of neighbor love to help Christians support just and loving communities. He guides us to live in solidarity with others across differences, exercise sufficiency in our economic lives, and care for the sustainability of our planet and communities. When we align the impacts of our lives with these practices, we foster the shared sense of common good, mutual responsibility, and interconnectedness that Jesus intended. In a world where "neighbor" has become as meaningless as "friend" on Facebook, this book provides a compelling vision for neighboring and radical systemic change that enacts true justice and love
Frank T. Rothaermel wrote Strategic Management 6e from the ground up because the world has changed dramatically since 5e was published (in January 2020). Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice movements, war, and disenchantment with the economic system profoundly impact how leaders run companies in their quest for competitive advantage. Rothaermel 6e synthesizes and integrates conceptual frameworks, empirical research, and practical applications with current real-world examples to help students make sense of a fast-changing and complex world. Rothaermel 6e is industry-leading in diversity and inclusion by featuring leaders with different backgrounds and companies that today’s students can relate to and thus internalize the knowledge acquired. The new 6e prepares students with the foundation they need to understand how companies gain and sustain competitive advantage while developing skills to become successful leaders capable of making well-reasoned strategic decisions.
