DOWNLOAD EBOOKA guide to the experiences economic reform since the second world war, and system reform and economic integration across the world in the past decade. The first part of the book examines why only a small number of developing countries have succeeded in their modernization attempts this century. What lessons can be learnt from the successes of the East Asian NIEs and failures of other economies to emulate them? The very different experiences of the transition to market economies in the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and China is the focus of the next section, with comparisons drawn with the Latin American reform experience, especially in Chile. The effects of economic integration schemes are examined in the final sector, with case-studies of Tunisia and Morocco's Free Trade Agreements with the EU, and of economic integration and the Arab-Israeli peace process.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In four brief chapters," writes Clifford Geertz in his preface, "I have attempted both to lay out a general framework for the comparative analysis of religion and to apply it to a study of the development of a supposedly single creed, Islam, in two quite contrasting civilizations, the Indonesian and the Moroccan." Mr. Geertz begins his argument by outlining the problem conceptually and providing an overview of the two countries. He then traces the evolution of their classical religious styles which, with disparate settings and unique histories, produced strikingly different spiritual climates. So in Morocco, the Islamic conception of life came to mean activism, moralism, and intense individuality, while in Indonesia the same concept emphasized aestheticism, inwardness, and the radical dissolution of personality. In order to assess the significance of these interesting developments, Mr. Geertz sets forth a series of theoretical observations concerning the social role of religion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe acceptance of Islam by the inhabitants of the Gao Region and the wider Western Sahel had far-reaching effects, socially, politically and economically. However, no systematic study has yet been undertaken of the archaeology of Islam in this region, although numerous detailed studies exist examine Islamization in West Africa. This study seeks to redress this. The traces of past occupation of the Gao Region between ca.AD 900 and 1250 are here examined, with an emphasis upon understanding the beginning, process, and effect of Islamization. New archaeological evidence is provided, and the existing archaeological evidence re-examined, and then integrated with the historical evidence. Islamic archaeology is still too often regarded as a sub-discipline of art history, and it is hoped that this work will go some way to altering these perceptions, at least for the Western Sahel, as well as to integrating its history into that of its wider region.
