Informal Urban Street Markets International Perspectives

Informal Urban Street Markets International Perspectives

Through an international range of research this volume examines how informal urban street markets facilitate the informal and formal economy not merely in terms of the traditional concerns of labor and consumption but also in regards to cultural and spatial contingencies. In many places street markets and their populace have been marginalized and devalued. At times there are clear governance procedures that aim to prevent them yet they continue to emerge in even in the most institutionalized societies. This book gives serious consideration to what these markets reveal about urban life in a time of globalized rapid urbanization and flows of people knowledge and goods. | Informal Urban Street Markets International Perspectives

Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect

Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect

The late twentieth century witnessed rapid changes not only in Taiwan's economy but also in its identity. Both economic as well as ideological restructuring have been basic elements in the transformation of postwar Taiwan as rapid democratization opened a Pandora's Box and stirred a whirlwind of social discord. This volume considers such important questions as whether the old Taiwanese work ethic is a relic of the past and whether Taiwan is likely to become a battleground of ideological wars. The book addresses Taiwanese nostalgia for Chinese culture; the rise and fall of postwar Taiwanese agrarian culture; the transformation of farmers' social consciousness in the period 195-970; the place of Confucianism in postwar Taiwan; and the awakening of the self and the development of a Taiwanese national identity in the post World War II period. Finally it considers whether mutual historical understanding may be the basis for Taiwan-Mainland relations in the twenty-first century. This second edition includes a new chapter on the history of Taiwan after World War II incorporating additional developments in Taiwan in the past decade. Insights extrapolated from an understanding of history are essential for grasping and solving the basic problems Taiwan now faces and above all the conflicted relationship between Taiwan and Mainland China. The book's thematic undercurrent is the question of Taiwan and Mainland China: How do we deal with the tension between cultural China and political China? | Taiwan in Transformation Retrospect and Prospect

Informal Labour in Urban India Three Cities Three Journeys

Informal Labour in Urban India Three Cities Three Journeys

During the last two decades rapid economic growth and development in India has been based upon the mass employment of informal labour. Using case studies from three urban regions this book examines this growth in modern India’s cities and towns. It argues that India has undergone a process of uneven and combined development during its integration with the world economy leading to a distorted form of urban development. This book is about work and resistance in India’s massive ‘informal economy’. It looks at the growth of informal labour in Bangalore Mumbai and New Delhi during an era of neoliberal economic policymaking. Going beyond mainstream accounts it argues that India’s rapid economic development has been based upon the mass employment of workers on low wages who lack basic social protection and rights at work. It discusses how urban development in India is characterised by a combination of industrialisation industrial relocation restructuring and informalisation. Departing from some existing studies of de-industrialisation it re-frames informalisation as a process that complements rather than contradicts contemporary industrialisation in rapidly-emerging economies. The book adopts a ‘classes of labour’ approach classifying each case of informal labour as a specific ‘form of exploitation’: as a different way for employers to lower production costs control workers and increase enterprise flexibility. Offering a critique of existing data on the measurement and monitoring of informal labour and employment the book is relevant to students and scholars of Development Studies International Political Economy and South Asian Studies. | Informal Labour in Urban India Three Cities Three Journeys

Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

E-Governance as a field of study is relatively new when considered within the broader historical context of US democracy. The advent of the modern Internet in the early 1990s yielded new technologies that began to shift citizen expectations of how government can - and in many cases should - govern. Though innovations continue to emerge at a rapid pace these technologies may be used to reinforce long-held deliberative democracy principles including transparency accountability and flexibility. Advances in E-Governance offers a comprehensive exploration of the role that technological innovation plays in facilitating government action and citizen participation. In this timely book author Anthony Trotta differentiates e-governance from e-government and examines the increasingly important role social media and crowdsourcing have come to play in our democracy and the interactions between technology polling voting and outcomes. Including practical cases ranging from DMV registration to online tax filing and markers of successful implementation Advances in E-Governance carefully addresses how the adoption and expansion of electronic platforms align with new government paradigms and looks to future trends in this rapidly expanding field. | Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

The studies presented in this collection are concerned most particularly with the material conditions of life in the mature Ottoman state of the 16th-18th centuries. They range from the evaluation of sources of livelihood and conditions in the workplace on the one hand to notions of domesticity and organization of the private sphere on the other and deal with the provinces in both the Balkans and in Asia as much as with Istanbul. At the same time the volume aims to illuminate Ottoman imperial institutional forms and norms as they existed in the high imperial era before the rapid change and transformation associated with late imperial times when the empire was more exposed both to global economic forces and external political pressures. This concentration on the relatively stable conditions that prevailed in the empire throughout the bulk of the early modern era (ca. 1450-ca. 1750) provides the reader with an opportunity to assess Ottoman institutional development and observe social and economic organization in their relatively 'pure' state before the double impact of industrialization and increasing Westernization in the late nineteenth century. | Studies on Ottoman Society and Culture 16th–18th Centuries

Constructing a Chinese School of International Relations Ongoing Debates and Sociological Realities

Constructing a Chinese School of International Relations Ongoing Debates and Sociological Realities

This edited volume offers arguably the first systemic and critical assessment of the debates about and contestations to the construction of a putative Chinese School of IR as sociological realities in the context of China’s rapid rise to a global power status. Contributors to this volume scrutinize a particular approach to worlding beyond the West as a conscious effort to produce alternative knowledge in an increasingly globalized discipline of IR. Collectively they grapple with the pitfalls and implications of such intellectual creativity drawing upon local traditions and concerns knowledge claims and indigenous sources for the global production of knowledge of IR. They also consider critically how such assertions of Chinese voices and articulation of their ambition for theoretical innovation from the disciplinary margins contribute to the emergence of a Global IR as a truly inclusive discipline that recognizes its multiple and diverse foundations. Reflecting the varied perspectives of both the active participants in the Chinese School of IR debates within China and the observers and critics outside China this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of IR theory Non-Western IR and Chinese Studies. | Constructing a Chinese School of International Relations Ongoing Debates and Sociological Realities
