Elusive Consumption By Karin M. Ekstram, Helene Brembeck
2004 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 1859737633 | PDF | 2 MB
In the context of rising consumerism and globalization, books on consumption are numerous. These tend to be firmly rooted in particular disciplines, however--sociology, anthropology, business or cultural studies--and as a result often present a limited view. Charged with the mission of unraveling what consumption means and how it operates, the world's leading experts were flown to a private location in Sweden to ''battle it out.'' This pioneering book represents the outcome. Ranging from the ''little black dress'' to children's computer games, Elusive Consumption challenges our very understanding of consumerism and provides a state-of-the-art view of the highly commercialized society we inhabit today. Some might have it that consumers are unwitting pawns, completely lacking in agency. Others might argue that consumer choices are empowering and subtly shape production. Richard Wilk, Colin Campbell, John F. Sherry, Richard Elliott, Russell Belk, and Daniel Miller--who offers the most persuasive argument in this battle royal?

Democratization in the Middle East: Experiences, Struggles, Challenges By United Nations
2003 | 222 Pages | ISBN: 9280810855 | PDF | 2 MB
This title addresses a number of key issues determining the success or failure of sustainable democratization in the region. With the exception of Israel, the constituent states cannot yet guarantee a path toward sustainable democracy. Movement toward political, economic and cultural liberalization has thus far brought instability and violence to the region, as traditional and religious values conflict with secular ethics, norms and practices. Drawing on analyses of Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria - as well as the North African nations of Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia - this book examines patterns of democratization, and political and economic transition. The contributors conclude that in order to advance democratization processes, reforms must be gradual and organized and monitored from the top, while supplemented by a gradual process toward the establishment of a broad-based and broadly supported civil society.
