The Democracy Deficit: Taming Globalization Through Law Reform
Jr., Alfred C. Aman Manufacturer: NYU Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0814707009 Release Date: 2004-12-01 |
Book Description
View the Table of Contents. Read the Preface.
"Contributing significantly to the democracy deficit literature, Aman espouses a re-invigoarated citizenship through domestic law reform, and is, perhaps, surprisingly, sanguine about the future of the 'globalizing state' "
World Trade Review
"Anyone who takes the politics of law seriously must read The Democracy Deficit to understand how legal neoliberalism rationalizes economic globalization at the expense of basic democratic values. With analytic rigor and passion, Aman also brilliantly shows how public values, embedded in domestic laws such as administrative law, are an arena and a resource for reshaping globalization."
Christine B. Harrington, New York University
"Offers a powerful analysis of the effects of globalization on local governance and a stunningly original strategy for responding to it through domestic law reform. The book's conclusion is critically important: domestic law reforms can shape the meaning of globalization in America and present a blueprint for more accountable globalization elsewhere. The book's powerful analysis and pathbreaking originality set scholarship on a new course and make this one of the best discussions of globalization ever."
Frank W. Munger, past president of the Law and Society Association
Economic globalization has had a chilling effect on democracy since markets now do some of the work that governments used to do through the political process. More than two decades of deregulation have made a healthy economy appear to depend on unrestrained markets. But appearances are misleadingglobalization is also a legal and political process. The future of democracy in the twenty-first century depends on the ability of citizens to reclaim a voice in taming globalization through domestic politics and law reform.
"The book's topic could not be more important: how do we adapt contemporary democratic governance- and contemporary administrative law- to the challenge of a globalizing world?"Kal Raustiala, UCLA School of Law
Can citizens govern globalization? Aman argues that they can, and that domestic law has a crucial role to play in this process. He proposes to redefine the legal distinction between public and private to correspond to the realities of the new role of the private sector in delivering public services, and thereby to bring crucial sectors of globalization back within the scope of democratic reform.Basing his argument on the history of the policies that led to globalization, and the current policies that sustain it, Aman advocates specific reforms meant to increase private citizens' influence on globalization. He looks at particular problem areas usually thought to be domestic in nature, such as privatization, prisons, prescription drugs, and the minimum wage, as well as constitutional structural issues such as federalism and separation of powers.

A solid starting point.......2002-01-22
First, the introduction and chapters 1 through 3 are not quite part of the book. If you look at the page numbers, roman numerals still greet you. This should show you that it is not the primary focus of the book. The introduction tells you about recruiters and job searching in this field. In the first three chapters, some good information from the authors explain resumes, cover letters, and interviews. Knowing how the recruiters think is always a leg up on the competition.
The meat of the book is the "directory." This lets you know the name, title, firm, and address of Wall Street recruiters. Remember that people change jobs and titles fairly often. This information is merely a starting point. Just knowing the companies out there allows me to do some research to make my application that much more appealing. It also allows me to be more knowledgeable in the interview. Use the information to find the current recruiter. Don't assume the listed name is still in charge of recruiting.
The last part is not as helpful. It breaks down the field into four parts (generalist, financial services, insurance, and venture capital). Here, the authors index names with company for the recruiter with a more specialized function. This will allow you to finetune your search, but given that people change jobs, the information here is less helpful than the addresses.
This book is a good starting point for your quest for a job on Wall Street, but alone, it will not be of use. It is merely a solid starting point to find out who is out there recruiting.

Direct Marketing, Direct Selling, and the Mature Consumer: A Research Study
James R. Lumpkin , Marjorie J. Caballero , and Lawrence B. Chonko Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 089930298X |
Book Description
This book reports and interprets the results of a major research study that investigated the shopping behavior of the mature consumer with regard to the principal types of direct response marketing: catalog shopping, direct mail, media ads, telephone solicitation, direct selling, party-plan selling, and in-home demonstrations. Sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Andrus Foundation, the project represents the most thorough treatment of the older consumer published to date. Marketing managers, direct marketing specialists, and retailers will find here the data they need to make informed decisions and develop appropriate marketing strategies for reaching a growing, and often relatively affluent, segment of the U.S. consumer population. The study was based on an 8-page questionnaire to which more than 2500 subjects nationwide responded and which yielded information on respondents' willingness to purchase from various direct sources, actual purchase behavior, preferences for purchasing from direct sources, likes and dislikes about in-home shopping, and the characteristics that influence purchasing decisions. The authors also compared shopping behaviors and attitudes of older consumers with younger groups and analyzed differences on the basis of demographic and psychological variables. A wide range of practical findings issued from the study, including the fact that many mature consumers associate high pressure sales tactics with in-home shopping and evince a high degree of distrust of direct selling techniques. In the final chapter, the authors present practical recommendations for formulating and maintaining a marketplace offering that is satisfying to the mature shopper. Numerous tables and figures illustrate the statistical conclusions drawn from the study.
