Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

Revisiting the UK and Ireland's Transatlantic Economic Relationship with the United States in the 21st Century - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan -

This book revisits the economic relationship that ties the UK andIreland to the United States in the aftermath of the greatest economic crisisof the past fifty years. Whenconsidering recent developments to these economic links, it appears thatoppositional forces are at work. On one hand, globalization and the rise of neweconomic powers may undermine the ties. Besides, Ireland’s and the UK’s EuropeanUnion membership could also loosen their economic ties with the US. Conversely,the future Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement may wellstrengthen trade and investment links between the US and Europe. Are the economic bonds between the US, the UK and Ireland waning, assome pundits purport? Or are those claims overstated? Could their economicrelationship simply be going through a process of change? Although there maynot be a single and straightforward answer to these questions, the authors seekto address these issues and provide insight into the changing dynamics of thishistoric economic relationship.

The Politics of Health Policy Reform in the UK - Calum Paton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Health Policy Reform in the UK - Calum Paton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explains the politics of thirty years of ‘market reform’ in the English NHS, with the rest of the UK a counter-factual. Paton shows how each subsequent reform has been shaped by the confusion left by the previous reform. The long-term ideology has been anti-statist but policy-making at each stage of ‘reform’ has been driven by short-term politics. The outcome in England has been ever-increasing complexity in the NHS, with significantly increased management costs and no commensurate benefit.

Emigration and the Labouring Poor - Robin F. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Emigration and the Labouring Poor - Robin F. Haines - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Robin Haines has analysed the origins, occupations, literacy, and mobilization of emigrants recruited in the UK on behalf of colonial legislatures. Her exploration of strict selection procedures shows that the symbiosis between the clergy, empire-minded philanthropic societies, and parishes, which combined to fund the emigrants'' considerable pre-departure expenses, increased the opportunities for underemployed rural and domestic workers during an era of farm rationalization and industrial restructuring. Although poor, hybrid state and private funding enabled them to relocate to Australia where their skills were in demand.

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the discourse of regulatory crisis in the UK and examines why, despite the increasing contestation of the principles underpinning the regulatory state, its institutions and practices continue to be firmly embedded within the governance of the British state. It considers its implications for our understanding of the contemporary nature of the British state, and to the study of regulation which is no longer confined to the domain of low politics, populated by technocrats, but is scrutinised by elected politicians, and the subject of the front pages rather than the financial pages. The author sets the British regulatory tradition in a wider context, both spatially, in terms of the challenges presented by Europeanisation, and temporally, critically analysing the process of crisis construction in the narratives of neoliberalism and participatory democracy in the contemporary era.

Merchants and Markets in Revolutionary Russia, 1917–30 - Arup Banerji - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Merchants and Markets in Revolutionary Russia, 1917–30 - Arup Banerji - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the history of private internal trade in the USSR during the NEP of the 1920s. Private traders operated in a politically hostile but economically promising environment. Their contribution to post-war reconstruction was a crucial one. An exhaustive portrayal of the markets and dimensions of private trade is contrasted with the felt anxieties of Bolsheviks concerning traders'' destabilising intentions and abilities. Retrospectively, many of these apprehensions were misplaced.
