The Colonial Expansion of English - English as a global language Varieties of English【電子書籍】[ Christina Boampong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of L?neburg (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: History of English and English historical linguistics, language: English, abstract: English is the language of commerce and tourism, of international politics, of science, the official language of international and multinational companies and industries, the language of air traffic control, of international news agencies, of mass entertainment, of computers and of the Internet. It is assumed that about a quarter of the world`s population is already fluent or competent in English (that means around 1,5 billion people) and that there is a total of 75 territories where English has a special place in society. These regions can be divided according to the status they give English: Either they have English as a native language, as a second or official language or as a foreign language. This classification is visualized by the so-called Three-circle-model: The inner circle compromises those countries where English is the primary language of communication and is learnt as a native language by the majority of the population. It includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The outer or extended circle represents the countries where English plays an important role in a non-native setting. In many cases these are former British colonies where the English language is part of the countries leading institutions and of various other domains. This circle includes India, Malawi, Singapore and 50 other territories. The expanding circle involves those countries in which English is learnt as a lingua franca by many people. These countries neither have a history of colonization nor have they given English any administrative status. Such countries are Germany, Japan, Israel and a growing number of other states. Fennel (2004) divides the global spreading of English that has lead to its status as a world language into four phases: I.British colonialism from the seventeenth to the twentieth century II.British leadership in the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries III.American economic superiority and political leadership IV.American technological domination In what follows we will focus on the first phase: The colonial expansion of English, which also marks the beginning of the Modern English period. The main idea of this term paper is to introduce the most popular varieties of English around the world and to familiarize with the historical facts and development of these countries emphasizing on the specific linguistic characteristics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,535円

Power, Profit and Prestige A History of American Imperial Expansion【電子書籍】[ Philip S. Golub ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From the American Revolution, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to the waning popularity of the Iraq war, Philip Golub depicts the long American journey to global ascendancy.</p> <p>Through the study of imperial identity formation, Golub shows how a culture of force and expansion has shaped American foreign policy. Taking a historical and sociological approach to his examination of the US logic of world power, he reveals how entrenched assumptions about America’s primacy inhibits democratic transformation at domestic and international levels, forging a new world where America is no longer able to set the global agenda.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,522円

The Picky Eagle How Democracy and Xenophobia Limited U.S. Territorial Expansion【電子書籍】[ Richard W. Maass ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em><strong>The Picky Eagle</strong></em> <strong>explains why the United States stopped annexing territory by focusing on annexation's domestic consequences, both political and normative.</strong> It describes how the US rejection of further annexations, despite its rising power, set the stage for twentieth-century efforts to outlaw conquest. In contrast to conventional accounts of a nineteenth-century shift from territorial expansion to commercial expansion, Richard W. Maass argues that US ambitions were selective from the start.</p> <p>By presenting twenty-three case studies, Maass examines the decision-making of US leaders facing opportunities to pursue annexation between 1775 and 1898. US presidents, secretaries, and congressmen consistently worried about how absorbing new territories would affect their domestic political influence and their goals for their country. These leaders were particularly sensitive to annexation's domestic costs where xenophobia interacted with their commitment to democracy: rather than grant political representation to a large alien population or subject it to a long-term imperial regime, they regularly avoided both of these perceived bad options by rejecting annexation. As a result, US leaders often declined even profitable opportunities for territorial expansion, and they renounced the practice entirely once no desirable targets remained.</p> <p>In addition to offering an updated history of the foundations of US territorial expansion, <em>The Picky Eagle</em> adds important nuance to previous theories of great-power expansion, with implications for our understanding of US foreign policy and international relations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,603円

<p>Soucieux de conna?tre les origines des g?nocides perl?s que connaissent le Rwanda et ses pays voisins de l’Afrique des Grands Lacs, l’auteur du pr?sent ouvrage tente d’abord de d?crypter juridiquement, sociologiquement, historiquement et politiquement le ph?nom?ne et le concept de g?nocide. De mani?re objective, il d?montre que le Rwanda est une soci?t? par essence violente, criminog?ne, et, h?las !, ≪ g?nocidog?ne ≫. Il prouve que le Rwanda, jusqu’? ce jour, a connu plus de sept g?nocides, dont quatre au cours du 20?me si?cle. Il d?montre que les r?fugi?s tutsi rwandais ont r?pandu le ≪ fait g?nocidaire ≫ au Burundi o? plus de deux g?nocides ont emport? pr?s d’un million de vies de Hutu burundais, en Ouganda o? les Acholi et les Baganda ont ?t? victimes de ce m?me crime, en R?publique D?mocratique du Congo o? la th?orisation du ≪ fait g?nocidaire ≫ dans la R?gion des Grands Lacs a ?t? peaufin?e et a permis la commission de deux g?nocides dirig?s contre les Hutu et les Bantous du Congo et qui ont fait plus de sept millions de victimes. Curieusement, pour renforcer les assises de ce ≪ fait g?nocidaire ≫ combien porteur de grandes richesses, pour mieux manipuler et obnubiler la conscience de la communaut? r?gionale et internationale afin de camoufler les actes criminels commis sans cesse, le g?nocide est transform? en fonds de commerce.</p> <p>Le pr?sent ouvrage est sans doute parmi l’un des premiers ?crits ? exposer sans d?tours l’implication des Tutsi dans les g?nocides ? r?p?tition au Rwanda et dans ses pays voisins.

Slave Country American Expansion and the Origins of the Deep South【電子書籍】[ Adam Rothman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Slave Country</em> tells the tragic story of the expansion of slavery in the new United States. In the wake of the American Revolution, slavery gradually disappeared from the northern states and the importation of captive Africans was prohibited. Yet, at the same time, the country's slave population grew, new plantation crops appeared, and several new slave states joined the Union. Adam Rothman explores how slavery flourished in a new nation dedicated to the principle of equality among free men, and reveals the enormous consequences of U.S. expansion into the region that became the Deep South.</p> <p>Rothman maps the combination of transatlantic capitalism and American nationalism that provoked a massive forced migration of slaves into Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. He tells the fascinating story of collaboration and conflict among the diverse European, African, and indigenous peoples who inhabited the Deep South during the Jeffersonian era, and who turned the region into the most dynamic slave system of the Atlantic world. Paying close attention to dramatic episodes of resistance, rebellion, and war, Rothman exposes the terrible violence that haunted the Jeffersonian vision of republican expansion across the American continent.</p> <p><em>Slave Country</em> combines political, economic, military, and social history in an elegant narrative that illuminates the perilous relation between freedom and slavery in the early United States. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in an honest look at America's troubled past.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,805円

Die St?dte im Hinblick auf die Expansion des Christentums【電子書籍】[ Martin Mehringer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bev?lkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Note: 2,0, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit?t Erlangen-N?rnberg (Institut f?r Geographie), Veranstaltung: Religionen im urbanen Kontext, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Neben dem Judentum und dem Islam ist das Christentum die weitverbreitetste Religion auf der Welt. Der schon in der Bibel fest verankerte Missionsgedanke ist einer der Faktoren, der dies begr?ndet. ?ber Jahrhunderte senden Kl?ster ihre Missionare in noch 'wildes' und 'unzivilisiertes' Gebiet, um die dort ans?ssige Bev?lkerung vor dem kommenden 'J?ngsten Gericht' und ihrer ewigen Verdammnis nach dem Tod zu retten. Oft gehen die Bekehrer nicht nur friedlich vor. Kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen zur Befriedung der V?lker und zur Vereinheitlichung des Glaubens sind seit dem Aufkommen der christlichen Religion bis in die Neuzeit zu verzeichnen. Es ist immer wieder festzustellen, dass es in der Geschichte Westeuropas (das Gebiet, auf die diese Arbeit beschr?nkt ist) zum Teil bis ins Mittelalter noch nicht einheitlich dem christlichen Glauben anh?ngt. Die St?dte, als Sitzt der Machthaber und damit der Bestimmer der jeweiligen Religion des Landes, oder der zu beherrschenden Region, hatten schon immer einen enormen Einfluss auf die dortige Glaubensrichtung. Die wichtigste Frage, die in dieser Arbeit behandelt wird ist, ob die St?dte, von den Anf?ngen des Christentums bis in die heutige Zeit, wirklich einen solch gro?en Einfluss auf die Verbreitung, den Erhalt, oder auch die Umformung der Religion hatten und haben. Anhand weiterer wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten werden wir weiterhin der Frage nachgehen, wie kirchliche Institutionen mit modernen Str?mungen umgehen, wie die der S?kularisierung inh?renten Theorie der absoluten Verweltlichung und tats?chlichen Problemen, wie der Aufrechterhaltung einer 'christlichen Grundversorgung' aller Menschen in Deutschland.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 696円

Expansion of Secondary Education in Tanzania Policy Practices, Trends and Implications to Quality Education【電子書籍】[ Placidius Ndibalema ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: none, University of Dodoma, course: Foundations of Education, language: English, abstract: This paper reviews the trends of secondary education expansion in Tanzania. It is argued that various policy stances and approaches to education planning have served as blue prints for expanding this level of education in the country over time. It is further pointed out that; the whole process of expansion goes together with reasonable quality. Each policy stance and approach to planning on expansion of secondary education is observed with its impacts on educational performance in relation to quality. The paper also addresses the issues related to the couple of limitations and challenges of the quality education that calls for more innovations, more strategic planning as well as a strong political will of seeing to it that expansion is both creating more access and effectively empowers those who happen to access this education. The paper suggests the need for an increased number of studies that should shape policies aimed at making education inclusive, responding to the diverse needs and circumstances of learners and giving appropriate weight to the abilities, skills, and knowledge they bring to the teaching learning process. It further, recommends the effective and strategic engagement of various actors of education in decision making whenever new reforms and policies come in education system. Finally, the paper reminds politicians to take into account what the general public may wish to incorporate in the policy and plans so as to attain the intended education goals.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,255円

Agricultural Expansion and Tropical Deforestation International Trade, Poverty and Land Use【電子書籍】[ Solon L. Barraclough ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>There is no clear-cut causal relationship between international trade, agricultural expansion and tropical deforestation. Academics, policy-makers and the public are all tempted by simplistic solutions to complex problems. In order to establish the true causal factors involved in this critical area of environmental decline, the authors of this study present case studies ranging over three continents. Utilizing statistics, it is shown that the focus of analysis of deforestation must be applied as much to the misguided policies of national and regional authorities as to the forces of trade and globalization. Further, it demonstrates that we must adopt a critical perspective on the historical context of human use of forest areas, looking at issues such as systems of land tenure. The primary aim of the book is to highlight the need to seek solutions in far-reaching institutional and policy reforms adapted to specific socio-economic and ecological contexts, if the problem of tropical deforestation is to be tackled effectively.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,674円

China’s Global Energy Expansion A Regulatory Assessment【電子書籍】[ Xiaohan Gong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Should Chinese energy investments be excluded from the liberal economic system based on geopolitical assessments only?</strong> This book explores the potential regulatory control by the Chinese government over foreign energy investments to achieve their perceived strategic objectives.</p> <p>Host states in which Chinese energy companies make investments have increasingly opposed Chinese energy investments in their national security reviews, based on concerns that these investments have strategic objectives. The book analyses China's investment-related law, regulations, and energy policies to examine how overseas energy investment-making is governed. The book also explores the role of the Chinese government in energy investment promotion and protection.</p> <p>Uniquely, the examination of China's potential regulatory control provides an objective criterion, rather than geopolitical considerations, for host states to assess the nature of Chinese energy investments.</p> <p>The book helps readers to open the 'black box' of Chinese energy investments from a regulatory perspective. It is a useful resource for researchers as well as practising lawyers assisting their Chinese clients through national security reviews, or when trying to determine whether China's SOEs can bring cases before investor-state arbitration tribunals.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,801円

Summary of Erik Peterson & Tim Riesterer's The Expansion Sale【電子書籍】[ ? Everest Media ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The brain science behind developing effective communications for the four must-win commercial moments in customer expansion is covered in this section. You will learn how to create messages that have been tested and proven to increase your chances of keeping and growing your existing customers. #2 The principles of Decision Science still apply to renewal and expansion conversations, but you must approach them differently. You must use a radically different method than traditional provocation-based sales, which is based on using triggers to get prospects to expand their businesses. #3 You must disrupt and defeat Status Quo Bias when trying to poach a prospect from a competitor, but you must defend and reinforce Status Quo Bias when you are the status quo. This is because prospects and customers are answering different questions in their mind. #4 The first cause of Status Quo Bias is preference stability. People naturally dislike uncertainty, and they made previous decisions that became their preferences. As a result, any new information that threatens those preferences and their stability must be resolved quickly.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 500円

Suffragists in an Imperial Age U.S. Expansion and the Woman Question, 1870-1929【電子書籍】[ Allison L. Sneider ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1899, Carrie Chapman Catt, who succeeded Susan B. Anthony as head of the National American Women Suffrage Association, argued that it was the "duty" of U.S. women to help lift the inhabitants of its new island possessions up from "barbarism" to "civilization," a project that would presumably demonstrate the capacity of U.S. women for full citizenship and political rights. Catt, like many suffragists in her day, was well-versed in the language of empire, and infused the cause of suffrage with imperialist zeal in public debate. Unlike their predecessors, who were working for votes for women within the context of slavery and abolition, the next generation of suffragists argued their case against the backdrop of the U.S. expansionism into Indian and Mormon territory at home as well as overseas in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. In this book, Allison L. Sneider carefully examines these simultaneous political movements--woman suffrage and American imperialism--as inextricably intertwined phenomena, instructively complicating the histories of both.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,972円

Asian Expansions The Historical Experiences of Polity Expansion in Asia【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Asia as we know it today is the product of a wide range of polity expansions over time. Recognising the territorial expansions of Asian polities large and small through the last several millennia helps rectify the fallacy, long-held and deeply entrenched, that Asian polities have been interested only in the control of populations, not in expanding their command of territory.</p> <p>In countering this misapprehension, this book suggests that Asian polities have indeed been concerned with territorial control and expansion over time, whether for political or strategic advantage, trade purposes, defence needs, agricultural expansion or increased income through taxation. The book explores the historical experiences of a set of polity expansions within Asia, specifically in East and Southeast Asia, and, by examining the motivations, mechanisms, processes, validations and limitations of these Asian territorial expansions, reveals the diverse avenues by which Asian polities have grown. The chapters draw on these historical examples to highlight the connections between Asian polity expansion and centralised political structures, and this aids in a broader and more comprehensive understanding of Asian political practice, both past and present. Through these chapter studies and the integrative introduction, the book interrogates key concepts such as imperialism and colonialism, and the applicability and relevance of such terminology in Asian contexts, both historical and contemporary. Comparisons and contrasts with European historical expansions are also suggested.</p> <p>This book will be welcomed by students and scholars of Asian history, as well as by those with an interest in Asian interactions, international relations, polity expansion, Asia--Europe historical comparisons and globalisation.</p> <p>Chapter 8 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,317円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This unique ebook provides comprehensive coverage of the Boko Haram terror group in Nigeria. The group has claimed responsibility for the bombing of a bus station in April 2014 which killed over 70 people, and may have abducted over 100 schoolgirls in a later attack.</p> <p>Contents: Confronting the Terrorism of Boko Haram in Nigeria * 1. Introduction<br /> 2. A Brief Political History of Nigeria * 3. Grievances of the Governed * 4. The Complex Security Environment of Nigeria * 5. The Unique Case of Boko Haram * 6. Responding to Boko Haram * 7. Conclusion and Implications for SOF * Boko Haram - Growing Threat to the U.S. Homeland * Boko Haram - Emerging Threat to the U.S. Homeland * Boko Haram's Dangerous Expansion into Northwest Nigeria * Nigeria: Current Issues and U.S. Policy * Nigeria - Religious Freedom * Radical Reemergence Going Global * Composition and Leadership Internal Divisions Continued Evolution * Increasing Operational Capability * Al Qaeda In Nigeria * Draining the Nigerian State * Nigerian Counter Offensive * Messaging, Media, and the Masses * Supporters and Sympathizers * Countering the Threat - Options for the US, Nigeria, and the International Community * Progress Made, and Challenges Ahead * Courses of Action for the Jonathan Administration.</p> <p>Confronting the Terrorism of Boko Haram in Nigeria - In this monograph counterterrorism expert James Forest assesses the threat Boko Haram poses to Nigeria and U.S. national security interests. As Dr. Forest notes, Boko Haram is largely a local phenomenon, though one with strategic implications, and must be understood and addressed within its local context and the long standing grievances that motivate terrorist activity. Dr. Forest deftly explores Nigeria's ethnic fissures and the role of unequal distribution of power in fueling terrorism. Indeed, these conditions, combined with the ready availability of weapons, contribute to Nigeria's other security challenges including militancy in the Niger Delta and organized crime around the economic center of the country, Lagos.</p> <p>Born of colonial rule the modern state of Nigeria contains a multitude of ethno linguistic groups and tribes, religious traditions, and local histories. This complexity, spread out across diverse environments from the coastal southern lowlands to the dry and arid north, has long posed a daunting challenge to governance and stability. Nigeria has had 14 heads of state since independence in 1958ーmany of these have taken power by military coup, while only five, including the current president Goodluck Jonathan, have been elected. Approximately half of the population is Christian, the other half Muslim, adding a religious dimension to Nigeria's contested political life. Many groups feel economically and politically marginalized, a situation that increased following the discovery of significant oil reserves in the Niger Delta and offshore. Corruption is rife and state institutions are weak.</p> <p>It is within this larger context that a group calling themselves Boko Haram, a Hausa term meaning "Western education is forbidden," appeared in 2009 and has attacked Nigeria, a key U.S. ally. Government entities, such as police stations and politicians (both Christian and Muslim), as well as others who they feel act in an 'un-Islamic' manner have been the primary focus of these attacks. The sect, which is loosely organized and contains numerous disagreeing factions, is centered in northeastern Nigeria. Most of its members are from the Kanuri tribe; it has little following among other ethnic groups in the region or other parts of Nigeria. Why then, do some find the group's violent ideology attractive?<br /> To meet the security challenges posed by the Boko Haram and others, Dr. Forest advocates the use of intelligence-led policing and trust building between the government and citizenry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,060円

Beyond Contributory Pensions Fourteen Experiences with Coverage Expansion in Latin America【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Latin America's population is aging, and many among the growing elderly population are not protected by traditional pension schemes. In response, policy makers have been reevaluating their income protection systems so that between 2000 and 2013, the majority of Latin American countries reformed their social pension schemes to provide near-universal coverage for the elderly. Before this unprecedented wave of reform, most income protection in Latin America was provided through contributory pensions available only to formal sector workers. Considering that informal and unpaid employment characterize labor force participation throughout the region, many elderly were left vulnerable to poverty. The new noncontributory pension programs have alleviated this risk. But countries are still evaluating how to best balance the need for inclusivity with the need for fiscal sustainability. 'Beyond Contributory Pensions: Fourteen Experiences with Coverage Expansion in Latin America' examines recent reforms in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay. All countries share the goal of comprehensive pension coverage, but each has unique political environments, social conditions, and economic capacities. Design and implementation of coverage expansion, consequently, has diverged. Comparing results across the region reveals which policies have yielded the most equitable and sustainable outcomes. Each chapter includes a comprehensive analysis of a country's reform experience: a description of significant political and economic developments, the challenges of implementing income protection policies, and prospects for the reforms' durability over time. 'Beyond Contributory Pensions' represents a significant addition to the literature on income protection for the elderly.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,783円

Stumbling around the Bases The American League's Mismanagement in the Expansion Eras【電子書籍】[ Andy McCue ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From the late 1950s to the 1980s, baseball’s American League mismanaged integration and expansion, allowing the National League to forge ahead in attendance and prestige. While both leagues had executive structures that presented few barriers to individual team owners acting purely in their own interests, it was the American League that succumbed to infightingーwhich ultimately led to its disappearance into what we now call Major League Baseball. <em>Stumbling around the Bases</em> is the story of how the American League fell into such a disastrous state, struggling for decades to escape its nadir and, when it finally righted itself, losing its independence.</p> <p>The American League’s trip to the bottom involved bad decisions by both individual teams and their owners. The key elements were a glacial approach to integration, the choice of underfinanced or disruptive new owners, and a consistent inability to choose the better markets among cities that were available for expansion. The American League wound up with less-attractive teams in the smaller markets compared to the National Leagueーand thus fewer consumers of tickets, parking, beer, hot dogs, scorecards, and replica jerseys.</p> <p>The errors of the American League owners were rooted in missed cultural and demographic shifts and exacerbated by reactive decisions that hurt as much as helped their interests. Though the owners were men who were notably successful in their non-baseball business ventures, success in insurance, pizza, food processing, and real estate development, didn’t necessarily translate into running a flourishing baseball league. In the end the National League was simply better at recognizing its collective interests, screening its owners, and recognizing the markets that had long-term potential.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,863円

Anarchists of the Caribbean Countercultural Politics and Transnational Networks in the Age of US Expansion【電子書籍】[ Kirwin R. Shaffer ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Anarchists who supported the Cuban War for Independence in the 1890s launched a transnational network linking radical leftists from their revolutionary hub in Havana, Cuba to South Florida, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Panama Canal Zone, and beyond. Over three decades, anarchists migrated around the Caribbean and back and forth to the US, printed fiction and poetry promoting their projects, transferred money and information across political borders for a variety of causes, and attacked (verbally and physically) the expansion of US imperialism in the 'American Mediterranean'. In response, US security officials forged their own transnational anti-anarchist campaigns with officials across the Caribbean. In this sweeping new history, Kirwin R. Shaffer brings together research in anarchist politics, transnational networks, radical journalism and migration studies to illustrate how men and women throughout the Caribbean basin and beyond sought to shape a counter-globalization initiative to challenge the emergence of modern capitalism and US foreign policy whilst rejecting nationalist projects and Marxist state socialism.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,191円

The Growth of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy: Impacts and Implications of Regional Naval Expansion - PLAN Force Modernization Destabilization of East Asia, Maritime Strategy【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This important study has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction - this is not a print replica, and thus it is suitable for all devices. China's growing economic dynamism has made it a powerful actor in the globalized economy. Continued growth of China's economy requires guaranteed sea access to foreign energy resources and markets. In response to the need for sea access, the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) is undergoing an expansion and force modernization process intended to ensure China's access to vital sea lines of communications (SLOCs). In recent history, post-Meiji Restoration Japan and early twentieth century Germany provide two examples of the impact of rising economic powers with expansive maritime strategies. In both cases, efforts by regional competitors to maintain relatively superior naval forces led to heightened tensions and, ultimately, war. Through the unintended promotion of regional naval arms races, both the Empire of Japan and the German Empire contributed to the destabilization of their respective region's security. This thesis argues that, based on the historical record of competitive naval growth, an expanding PLAN will destabilize East Asia as China challenges the dominance of the leading naval power in the Western Pacific - the United States Navy. However, China's rise differs from the rise of Japan and Germany in important ways. Diplomatic efforts by Washington and Beijing to identify shared maritime interests can serve to alleviate the destabilizing effects associated with naval growth. Additionally, security tensions associated with naval arms races may be mitigated through a thorough U.S. analysis of the actual threat posed by China's growing naval power.</p> <p>Throughout the world, the United States guarantees the freedom of the seas. That guarantee ensures open access to energy resources that fuel modern economies, as well as the free exchange of the finished goods those economies create. Toward that end, the United States has developed the most technologically capable navy in the world. Capable of operations worldwide, no other navy challenges the dominance of the United States Navy (USN) on the high seas. However, some analysts see a growing PLAN as a potential threat to the USN's dominance in the Western Pacific and beyond. In order to accurately assess the nature and degree of threat that the PLAN presents to the USN, it is necessary to take into account both the reasons behind China's drive to establish a more capable navy and the potential ramifications of a larger PLAN for Asian security. Once the driving interests behind the PLAN's modernization are understood, American policymakers and strategic planners will be better equipped to devise an appropriate response. For the USN, the key area of concern is how to respond to the PLAN's increased force structure. Historically, two periods in modern history demonstrate the effects of the expansion of a rising power's naval force structure alongside that of the navy of a geopolitically dominant state - post-Meiji Japan and the Second German Reich. An analysis of the rise of the Imperial Japanese Navy prior to World War II and the rise of the Imperial German Navy prior to World War I will present general themes that occur over the course of significant naval arms expansions.</p> <p>Contents: The Growth of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy * 2019 U.S. Intelligence Community Worldwide Threat Assessment</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 742円

Divine Healing: The Years of Expansion, 1906?1930 Theological Variation in the Transatlantic World【電子書籍】[ James Robinson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the present volume James Robinson completes his trilogy, which deals with the history of divine healing in the period 1906-1930. The first volume is a study of the years 1830-1890, and was hailed as "a standard reference for years to come." The second book covers the years 1890-1906, and was acclaimed as "a monumental achievement" that combines "careful historical scholarship and a high degree of accessibility." This volume completes the study up to the early 1930s and, like the other two works, has a transatlantic frame of reference. Though the book gives prominence to the theology and practice of divine healing in early Pentecostalism, it also discusses two other models of healing, the therapeutic and sacramental, promoted within sections of British and American Anglicanism. Some otherwise rigorous Fundamentalists were also prepared to practice divine healing. The text contributes more widely to medical and sociocultural histories, exemplified in the rise of psychotherapy and the cultural shift referred to as the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The book concludes by discussing the major role that divine healing plays in the present rapid growth of global Christianity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,741円

Nazi Steel Freidrich Flick and German Expansion in Western Europe, 1940-1944【電子書籍】[ Marcus O Jones PhD. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This study explores an exemplary instance of the close interaction between private and official interests in planning and executing the programs of the Nazi government, namely the acquisition in 1941 of the Rombach steel works by the German industrialist Friedrich Flick. The industrial concern headed by Flick was among the largest and most influential steel producers and manufacturers of war material in the German economy during World War II. Its activities in the occupied territories of western Europe centered on control of the Rombach works, a large operation established in Lorraine in the late nineteenth-century by German industrialists and expropriated by France, along with the entire region, in the aftermath of the First World War. After successful military operations against France in 1940, the Nazi regime actively sought the collusion of the German industrial community in mobilizing the productive capacity of occupied territories for the war effort, and numerous private German businessmen advanced claims on the lucrative assets in Lorraine and adjacent regions. In his bid to gain control of the Rombach works, Flick was successful for reasons specific to his position within the Nazi German economic system and the character of his interests. This account of his activities, then, serves as a fine example of Nazi economic and occupation policy and its response to party, business, and bureaucratic influences.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,121円

<p>It seems that Thomas was injured and has some sequelae. So when the breeding cattle are in estrus in the spring, or when the beef cattle are sent out for long-distance transfer, Thomas may be a little overwhelmed.<br /> "How about this, six hundred dollars a week, I think all the work can be completed in one and a half months." Sergio formally began to quote, "All the machines are mine, and a batch of my new machines have been delivered one after another."<br /> Thomas picked up the wine glass, thought for a while and said, "Six hundred and fifty dollars a week, if you need to replant the pasture, it will be much easier. But it will be troublesome to replace the pasture, I have to deep plow to remove their roots. And I don't think the work can be completed in one and a half months, it will take two months."<br /> Sergio stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Then we have a deal, I hope to see you at the pasture tomorrow."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 950円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Business retention and expansion (BRE) is regarded as the most practical and accessible method for economic development at the city, town, or neighborhood scale.
