Are cities able to exercise democratic rule and strategic choice when international competition increasingly limits the importance of place? Cities in the International Marketplace looks at the political responses of ten cities in North America and Western Europe as they grappled with the forces of global restructuring during the past thirty years. H. V. Savitch and Paul Kantor conclude that cities do have choices in city building and that they behave strategically in the international marketplace. Rather than treating cities through case studies, this book undertakes rigorous systematic comparison. In doing so it provides an innovative theory that explains how city governments bargain in the capital investment process to assert their influence. The… Read More

"The Historicism movement in art (1830-1920) was perhaps the most democratic of all. European furniture makers sought to recapture the magic and affluence displayed in early, highly stylized and aristocratic pieces of the Gothic, Rococo, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism periods--but at a fraction of the cost. These artists brought a great deal to their reproductions, applying a contemporary practicality that resulted in pieces of crafty pomp, opulence, and exaggerated beauty that were priced to reach the growing bourgeoisie. Historicism furniture pieces are not only art history documents of the most diverse cultures and styles of the 19th century, but they are also individual collector's items, their value not… Read More

Illustrated with tables. xi/315 pages."In 1800, the per capita income of the United States was twice that of Mexico and roughly the same as Brazil's. By 1913, it was four times greater than Mexico's and seven times greater than Brazil's. This volume seeks to explain the nineteenth-century lag in Latin American economic development. The essays break with longstanding dependency traditions in Latin American historiography that focus on foreign influences to explain Latin American underdevelopment. Instead, they apply the approaches and methods of the New Economic History—which encompasses a wide arsenal of analytic tools and quantitative techniques informed by neo-classical economic theory—arguing that the causes for Latin America's laggard economic growth in the nineteenth century had far more to do with internal political and legal structures than putative external… Read More

In this pathbreaking book, Janet Halley reassesses the place of feminism in the law and politics of sexuality. She argues that sexuality involves deeply contested and clashing realities and interests, and that feminism helps us understand only some of them. To see crucial dimensions of sexuality that feminism does not reveal--the interests of gays and lesbians to be sure, but also those of men, and of constituencies and values beyond the realm of sex and gender--we might need to take a break from feminism.Halley also invites feminism to abandon its uncritical relationship to its own power. Feminists are, in many areas of social and political life, partners in governance. To govern responsibly, even on behalf of women, Halley urges, feminists… Read More

"Diese Untersuchungen haben die Wesensverschiedenheit von Horaz und Vergil zum Thema. Die philologische Forschung hat sich zwar schon früh mit der Frage der gegenseitigen Beeinflussung beschäftigt; aber neben den Arbeiten zu Prioritätsproblemen sind die Versuche einer Gegenüberstellung der Gesamterscheinungen "Vergil" und "Horaz"spärlich geblieben.Ãœber das Dasein einer tiefgreifenden Wesensverschiedenheit beider Dichter ist sich die Forschung einig; über die Gründe dagegen erfährt man wenig mehr als Andeutungen, die oft unverbunden und unverwandt nebeneinanderstehen. Neben Unterschiede wie "Südländer - Nordländer" treten Differenzen des Temperaments, der politischen Anschauungen, der philosophischen… Read More

In this book, he applies current methods of game theory, public economics, and oligopoly theory to the problem of the choice of international monetary regimes in a world where goods markets and capital markets are increasingly integrated. The book examines how the choice of an international monetary regime affects the nature of policy interdependence and distribution of economic welfare among countries, what kind of international monetary regime each country wishes to choose, and what kind of regime is most likely to be realized. It shows that, in a world where… Read More

"Balthasar Neumann (1687-1753) zählt zu den großen Barockbaumeistern des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die Würzburger Residenz, ihr Treppenhaus und ihre Hofkirche, die Wallfahrtskirche Vierzehnheiligen und die Abteikirche Neresheim, die Treppenhäuser der Schlösser in Bruchsal und Brühl, das Würzburger Käppele: sie alle sind Inbegriffe für die Einzigartigkeit seiner Architektur.Der vorliegende Band versucht, den Menschen Neumann in schwerpunktartig gewählten Themen lebendig werden zu lassen. Er entwirft dabei ein wesentlich reicheres Neumann-Bild, als es in den bislang erschienenen Monographien zu finden ist. Hauptquellen sind die Briefe des Baumeisters und Zeugnisse seiner Auftraggeber. Das Buch will aber auch zum Erleben Neumannscher Bauwerke ermuntern."

However, this is the first comprehensive assessment of their work, based on previously unpublished material and with illustrations of all their major paintings. Heywood Hardy was a remarkably versatile artist who did much to advance a more realistic portrayal of animals, landscapes, portraits and sporting scenes over a long and productive career from 1860 to 1927. His elder brother James Hardy junior became one of the most accomplished sporting artists of his day. And their cousin Frederick Daniel Hardy painted some of the most accurate and sympathetic pictures of life in country towns and villages. The book's author, Kimber Hardy, a descendant of the Hardy… Read More
