"[READ DOWNLOAD]  The Industrial Revolution: The State, Knowledge and Global Trade

The British Industrial Revolution has long been seen as the spark for modern, global industrialization and sustained economic growth. Indeed the origins of economic history, as a discipline, lie in 19th-century European and North American attempts to understand the foundation of this process.In this book, William J. Ashworth questions some of the orthodoxies concerning the history of the industrial revolution and offers a deep and detailed reassessment of the subject that focuses on the State and its role in the development of key British manufactures. In particular, he explores the role of State regulation and protectionism in nurturing Britain's negligible early manufacturing base. Taking a long view, from the mid 17th century through to the 19th century, the analysis weaves together a vast range of factors to provide one of the fullest analyses of the industrial revolution, and one that places it firmly within a global context, showing that the Industrial Revolution was merely a short moment within a much larger and longer global trajectory. This book is an important intervention in the debates surrounding modern industrial history will be essential reading for anyone interested in global and comparative economic history and the history of globalization.

"PDF_  FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND DIPLOMACY: The BRICS Coalition: From Hegemonic Strongholds to a Multipolar World

The BRICS alliance is increasingly formalized. Beyond the immediate economic benefits to its members, it is possible that in the long term, Russia and China may need to embrace more liberalization/democratic reforms, as imperatives to effectively play the &#8220major country&#8221 role in an increasingly free world where investors feel safer to do business with countries promising reasonable measure of citizens&#8217 freedom and respect for the rights of minority groups. At the same time, the population in the U.S. and other liberal democracies increasingly admire the speed by which China is growing and would love to see increased state involvement to render development more result oriented and check the excesses of capitalism. Thus, a desire for the optimal mix of private participation and direct state involvement in the economy is growing globally. A fully developed BRICS alliance can serve as the melting pot for such a healthy balancing of the liberal order (of the West) with state-led development (of the East). By so doing, the hegemonic strongholds foisted by U.S. EU, Russia, and China will give way to a multipolar world with alternative reserve currencies, payment systems, and global financial institutions. In this book, a multipolar world is predicted as the unintended outcome of a BRICS bloc that successfully evolves to the center stage of global development.Prof. Uwem Essia is an economist with many years of teaching, research, and consulting experience in economics, the management sciences, and related human development fields. He is currently engaged in private studies and publishing.Christian lambang Fonye is currently a Senior Fellow on Minority Rights, Indigenous Peoples, and Intersectionality with the Pacific Regional Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. He is a Mandela Washington fellow and a 2020 United Nations fellow for People of African descent.

"$PDF$/READ/DOWNLOAD  Changing Business from the Inside Out: A Treehugger's Guide to Working in Corporations

The BP oil spill, the 2008 global financial collapse, and revelations of scandalous working conditions at Chinese electronics supplier Foxconn show why so many are suspicious of promises of corporate responsibility. But slowly and fitfully, corporations are changing. It&#8217s not just because of the high cost of making amends and a fear of negative publicity. Consumers are demanding better corporate behavior, and an increasing number of executives are eager to make their organizations more of a force for good. But corporations can&#8217t act in responsible ways if no &#8220treehuggers&#8221 are working inside the system to lead the effort. For more than two decades, Timothy J. Mohin has worked to improve working conditions, clean up factories, and battle climate change&#8212all while being employed by some of the biggest companies in the world. In Changing Business from the Inside Out he&#8217s written the first practical, authoritative insider&#8217s guide to creating a career in corporate responsibility. Mohin describes how to get started and what the day-to-day experience of being &#8220the designated driver at the corporate cocktail party&#8221 is really like. He recounts colorful case studies from his own career, provides advice on how CSR workers can have greater impact, and even looks into how employees in other corporate functions can make a difference. He details the programs and processes needed to support a comprehensive CSR effort, but perhaps most importantly, he identifies the personal and professional skills needed to navigate corporate politics and get buy-in from sometimes skeptical colleagues.  With more than 80 percent of the Fortune 500 now publishing &#8220sustainability reports,&#8221 a new career path has been forged in corporate responsibility. From strategy to data mining to supply chains and communication, this book is the &#8220operator&#8217s manual&#8221 for this new career path.
