Liberals and Communitarians

ASIN: 0631198199 |
Book Description
In this revised and expanded edition of their established text, Stephen Mulhall and Adam Swift provide an up-to-date overview of the issues and new developments in the debate. Beginning with an account of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, the book goes on to provide clear presentation of the work of the main communitarians - Michael Sandel, Alisdair MacIntyre, Charles Taylor and Michael Walzer. This is followed by a substantially rewritten and expanded assessment of Rawls's more recent work, as that is presented in his new book, Political Liberalism. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which his position enables him to respond to the communitarian critique. The final part of the book examines the writings of three other liberal theorists whose work bears on these issues; the work of Ronald Dworkin is included here for the first time, together with that of Richard Rorty and Joseph Raz. This provides a framework for investigating the different ways in which liberal political thought can claim to be neutral between conceptions of the good. Clear and accessible in style, with a guiding agenda of themes and issues, this new edition will continue to provide an indispensable aid to students of contemporary political theory.

Religious Goodness and Political Rightness: Beyond the Liberal-Communitarian Debate (Harvard Theological Studies)
Yong Huang Manufacturer: Trinity Press International ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1563383438 |
Book Description
In Religious Goodness and Political Rightness, Yong Huang offers a stimulating and timely examination of the liberal and communitarian approaches to the conflicts between people's religious ideas of the Good and their political ideas of the Right. Coming from a non-partisan perspective he explores the difficulty of both approaches. He offers a critique of the liberal idea that we should first construct a political idea of the Right and then match our religious ideas of the Good to it. But he also critiques the Communitarians, who believe that we should first determine a religious idea of the Good and then try to construct a political idea of the Right. Huang argues that liberalism fails to see that politics can not be neutral to all religions by equally ignoring them all, while communitarianism fails to understand that politics based on one single religion may lead either to political sectarianism or totalitarianism in a religiously plural society.Huang contends that in a religiously plural society, people have mutually enriching, critical, and transformative ideas of religious goodness and political rightness. In Religious Goodness and Political Rightness, he searches for a universal political idea of the right that is held in a reflective equilibrium with plural religious ideas of the Good.
Yong Huang is Assistant Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. He is currently president of the Association of Chinese Philosophers in America.

Employment Policy in Transition: The Lessons of German Integration for the Labor Market
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540411666 |
Book Description
A historically unique experiment is about to enter its second decade - German unification. Early hopes for a rapid and smooth economic transformation soon turned out to be overly optimistic. Despite massive financial transfers, the political promise of a "blooming landscape" remains a vision. Actual developments have left deep scars on the labor market, and the effects will be felt for decades to come. Was this outcome to be expected, perhaps even inevitable? What went wrong, and what were the available options? Or is the current state of Eastern German labor market in fact better than is commonly assumed?

Essential Managers: Selling Successfully
Robert Heller Manufacturer: DK ADULT ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0789448645 |

The birth of a salesman (or woman) in 72 pages? That's the goal of this Lilliputian handbook, which offers a concise thumbnail guide to successful selling, from gaining the self-confidence and organizational skills necessary to be a good salesperson to finding customers, communicating your product or service to them effectively, and providing top customer service and satisfaction. A wealth of boxed tips, checklists, flow charts, and other handy visuals show you how to master the sales process--from planning and making your presentation to negotiating the terms and closing the deal. A final section shows you how to manage sales teams effectively, including overseeing sales calls, providing rewards, fixing sales goals, and holding sales meetings. Granted, if you're looking for very specific or in-depth guidance, you may find this book too cursory and general in its approach. But if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do you just fine.It's worth mentioning that the book is also part of reference publisher Dorling Kindersley's Essential Managers series--20 itty-bitty li'l books on business and career topics ranging from communication, leadership, and decision making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the For Dummies book series's talent for breaking down a lot of information into bite-size bits and sidebars with Dorling Kindersley's signature design style of crisp, classy graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, they don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking and they don't necessarily reflect any unique individual perspective. Instead, it's as though someone collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages, studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand on the last few pages of each volume. Again, they're not for anyone looking for more in-depth or focused help on any of the subjects they cover, but they're perfect as a quickie general-interest reference... and let's face it, they're so cute and look so smart in a neat little stack or row that you'll probably want to buy a whole bunch to give as gifts to your entire staff or department. --Timothy Murphy

The Japanese Economy and Economic Issues since 1945 (Dimensions of Contemporary Japan)
E. Beauchamp Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Library Binding ASIN: 0815327323 |
Book Description
The best scholarship on the development of contemporary Japan
This collection presents well over 100 scholarly articles on modern Japanese society, written by leading scholars in the field. These selections have been drawn from the most distinguished scholarly journals as well as from journals that are less well known among specialists; and the articles represent the best and most important scholarship on their particular topic.
An understanding of the present through the lens of the past
The field of modern Japan studies has grown steadily as Westerners have recognized the importance of Japan as a lading world economic force and an emerging regional power. The post-1945 economic success of the Japanese has, however, been achieved in the context of that nation's history, social structure, educational enterprise and political environment. It is impossible to understand the postwar economic miracle without an appreciation of these elements. Japan's economic emergence has brought about and in some cases, exacerbated already existing tensions, and these tensions have, in turn, had a significant impact on Japanese economic life. The series is designed to give readers a basic understanding of modern Japan-its institutions and its people-as we stand on the threshold of a new century, often referred to as "the Pacific Century".

Putting Africa First: The Making of African Innovation Systems
Manufacturer: Aalborg University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 8773076996 |
Product Description
The expression 'national systems of innovation' was introduced in the 1980s to emphasize the interdependence between technical and institutional change. For many reasons, the work on Africa is especially important. The prevalence and persistence of conflict, poverty and poor governance on the African continent is widely considered to be the most urgent global development issue today. This volume brings together a selection of original contributions, which analyze African economic issues within the theoretical framework of 'innovation systems'. With its combination of conceptual, policy oriented, empirical, and cross-regional analyses the book should appeal to scholars, policy makers, and development practitioners along with other students of economic affairs.
