Paperback. Condition: Fair. This book has come up with the most up-to-date, comprehensive and objective analysis of China's investments in Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative. It covers the broad range of Sino-Pakistan relations in the backdrop of Pakistan's complex political, governance, security, socio-environmental and technological challenges that hinder implementation of CPEC projects. Backed by robust empirical evidence, a unique feature of this volume is that it demystifies several myths about CPEC concerning 'debt-trap' narrative, China's 'win-win' proposition and Pakistan's mantra of 'game changer' and 'fate changer'. By examining Chinese infrastructure-building initiative vis- -vis competing economic initiatives such as the US/G7-led Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment, the Global Gateway strategy of the European Union, and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor of the G20, a distinctive significance of this book is that it aptly situates the implications of China's growing role in Pakistan in broader regional and global context.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. 185 pages. cover worn, A broadly based analysis of good and evil grounded in examination of the conc eptual, philosophical, and theoretical bases of the study of evil within the soc ial sciences.Edwin Lemert investigates the possibility that a considerati on of evil will provide new power to explanations of deviance. He links classic studies of witchcraft and sorcery to the wider problem of social control. The se arch for prototypical evil (a view that Lemert rejects) turns to an investigatio n of sorcery because sorcery involves selfish interest and intentions on the par t of the sorcerer, who uses cryptic means to harm a victim that he/she dislikes. The author then examines comparatively the conditions that produce evil a ctions, and social reactions to them, in a variety of societies; and he reviews explanations that previous scholars have offered for the presence and consequenc es of evil. A tangential consequence of this method is that the work takes on a strong Melanesian flavor, because so many of the classic studies of sorcery were conducted in that culture area. Lemert argues that the fragmented nature of pol itical organization, rapid shifts in political alliance, and the frequency of co mpetitive rituals involving food combine in Melanesia to produce conditions that favor the development of whole cultures that celebrate forms of animosity and v iolence.…

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di C. Rinaldi. Roma, 2019; br., pp. 541. (Deviazioni. 4). Dalle etnografie del bere in Polinesia allo studio transculturale della balbuzie, dalla paranoia come effetto delle dinamiche di esclusione alle etichette devianti elaborate dalle agenzie del controllo sociale e alle conseguenze dello stigma sulla riorganizzazione simbolica del sé "deviante", questo classico di Edwin M. Lemert è tra i primi studi ad allontanarsi dall'atteggiamento teorico secondo il quale è la devianza a dar luogo al controllo sociale. Per il sociologo americano è invece il controllo a produrre la devianza e a far sorgere ulteriori forme di controllo sempre più invasive. Devianza, problemi sociali e forme di controllo costituisce ancora oggi un testo di riferimento per gli studiosi e per tutti coloro che vogliano accostarsi al pensiero del suo autore, pronti a coglierne le intuizioni e a guardare alle devianze come prodotti dell'organizzazione sociale.
