Описание: Power has been compared to the weather: people discuss it all thetime, but very few really understand it. This book seeks todemystify this complex concept by providing students with anincisive and engaging introduction to the shifting configurationsof power in the contemporary global order.
Drawing on the work of leading international relations scholars, philosophers and sociologists, the analysis goes beyond simplisticviews of power as material capability, focusing also on itsneglected social dimensions. These are developed and exploredthrough a detailed examination of the changing international role, status and capacities of the United States, Russia and China sincethe end of the Cold War. Far from achieving multipolarity, the bookconcludes that the contemporary world remains essentially unipolar;America having moved to correct the mistakes of George W. Bush'sfirst term in office, while China and Russia have, in differentways, limited their own abilities to challenge Americanprimacy.
This book will be essential reading for students ofinternational relations and politics, as well as anyone with aninterest in the shifting balance of power in the global system.

Описание:
Although banking and sovereign debt crises are not unusual, the crisis that has unfolded across the world since 2007 has been unique in both its scale and scope. It has also been unusual in being both triggered by, and mainly affecting, developed economies. Starting with the US subprime mortgage crisis, and the recession in 2007-2009, the problem soon erupted into financial crisis in Europe. A few of these countries came to the brink of bankruptcy, and were rescued by the EU and the IMF on the condition they adopt austerity measures. The detrimental social effects of the crisis in both the US and Europe are still emerging.
Although there have been several studies published on the US crisis in particular, there has so far been an absence of an accessible comparative overview of both crises. This insightful text aims to fill this gap, offering a critical overview of causes, policy responses, effects and future implications. Starting with the historical context and mutation of the crisis, the book explores the policies, regulations, and governance reforms that have been implemented to cope with the US subprime mortgage crisis. A parallel analysis considers the causes of the European sovereign debt crisis and the responses of the European Union (EU), examining why the EU is as yet unable to resolve the crisis. This book is supported with eResources that include essay questions and class discussion questions in order to assist students in their understanding.
This uniquely comprehensive and readable overview will be of interest and relevance to those studying financial crises, financial governance, international economics and international political economy.
