Albert, М. A theory of world politics / M. Albert. – Cambridge : Cambridge Univ. Press, 2016. – XIII, 254 p. – (Cambridge studies in international relations ; 141).
NLB call number: 1И//643431(039)
In this book, Mathias Albert develops an ambitious theoretical framework that describes world politics as a specific social system set within the wider political system of world society. Albert's analysis of the historical evolution and contemporary form of world politics takes the theory of social differentiation as its starting point. World politics is a specific, relatively recent form of politics, and Albert shows how the development of a distinct system of world politics first began during the long nineteenth century. The book goes on to identify the different forms of social differentiation that underlie the variety of contemporary forms of organising political authority in world politics. Employing sociological and historical perspectives, A Theory of World Politics also reflects critically on its relation to accounts of world politics in the field of International Relations and will appeal to a wide readership in a range of fields.
Amar-Dahl, T. Zionist Israel and the question of Palestine : Jewish statehood and the history of the Middle East conflict / T. Amar-Dahl. – Berlin ; Boston : De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2017. – 199 p.
NLB call number: 1И//644454(039)
After half a century of occupation and tremendous costs of the conflict, Israel is still struggling with the idea of a Palestinian state in what is often perceived as the Biblical Eretz Israel. Mapping Zionism, enemy images, peace and war policies, as well as democracy within the Jewish State, the present study offers original insights into Israel’s role in this conflict. By analyzing Israeli history, politics and security-oriented political culture as it has been evolving from 1948 on, this book reveals the ideological and political structures of a Zionist-oriented state and society. In doing so, it uncovers the abyss between the Zionist vision of Eretz Israel on the one hand and the aspiration to achieve normalization, peace and security on the other. In view of this conflict-laden bi-national reality, the Palestinian question is identified as the Achilles' heel of Jewish statehood in the Land of Israel. Thus, Zionist Israel and the Question of Palestine provides a fresh, innovative, critical and yet accessible perspective on one of the most controversial issues in contemporary history.

Green capitalism? : business and the environment in the twentieth century / edited by H. Berghoff and A. Rome. – Philadelphia : Univ. of Pennsylvania Press, 2017. – XI, 298 p.
NLB call number: 1И//644508(039)
At a time when the human impact on the environment is more devastating than ever, business initiatives frame the quest to “green” capitalism as the key to humanity's long-term survival. Indeed, even before the rise of the environmental movement in the 1970s, businesses sometimes had reasons to protect parts of nature, limit their production of wastes, and support broader environmental reforms. In the last thirty years, especially, many businesses have worked hard to reduce their direct and indirect environmental footprint. But are these efforts exceptional, or can capitalism truly be environmentally conscious?
Green Capitalism? offers a critical, historically informed perspective on building a more sustainable economy. Written by scholars of business history and environmental history, the essays in this volume consider the nature of capitalism through historical overviews of twentieth-century businesses and a wide range of focused case studies.
Korosteleva, E. The European Union and its Eastern neighbours : towards a more ambitious partnership? / E. Korosteleva. – London ; New York : Routledge, 2012. – XIX, 188 p. – (BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies ; 78).
NLB call number: 1И//648834(039)
This book explores the EU's relations with its eastern neighbours. Based on extensive original research – including surveys, focus groups, a study of school essays and in-depth interviews with key people in Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and in Brussels – it assesses why the EU's initiatives have received limited legitimacy in the neighbourhood.
The European Neighbourhood Policy of 2004 and the subsequent Eastern Partnership of 2009 heralded a new form of relations with the EU's neighbours – partnership based on joint ownership and shared values -which would complement if not entirely replace the EU's traditional governance framework used for enlargement. These initiatives have, however, received a mixed response from the EU's eastern neighbours. The book shows how the key elements of partnership have been driven mainly by the EU, rather than jointly, and examines the idea and application of external governance, and how this has been over-prescriptive and confusing.
Prabhakar, A. C. The current global recession : a theoretical and empirical investigation into developed and BRICS economies / A. C. Prabhakar. – Bingley : Emerald, 2017. – XXIII, 430 p.
NLB call number: 1И//645412(039)
This generation's economic crisis has truly global reach, with repercussions reverberating throughout nations and across societies. Prabhakar investigates the world-wide depression, using empirical understanding and new data sets on indicator and policy variables. He focuses on: the overall causes of this crisis and the failures of mainstream economics; analyzes the rising tide of poverty and social inequality resulting from the depression; examines the relationship between the economic crisis and economic systems; studies the evolution of the global monetary system and history of central banking; and delves into BRICS with a particular focus on China and India, as well as Europe and the United States. This applicable work should be used to understand and study the true global reach of this crisis, and the effect on economic policy and society as a whole.
