xv, 260p. 23 cm.
ISBN : 9788132110132.
302.2301 BER 136329
This book will change the way professors teach courses on
popular culture and media criticism, with the goal of
empowering students to make their own critiques of mass-
mediated culture. Written in a conversational tone and
illustrated with the author-s original whimsical
drawings, the text is designed to be accessible to
students. The text starts by outlining four prominent
methods of media analysis: semiotic analysis, Marxist
analysis, psychoanalytic criticism, and sociological
analysis. This edition offers expanded coverage on areas
such as society and semiotics, consumer culture, and the
Frankfurt School. The application section asks students
to apply tools of media analysis to texts including
popular films and TV shows, print advertisements, news
radio, video games, and the use of cell phones and social
media by youth.

Nira Yuval-Davis.-- New Delhi: Sage publications, 2011.
ISBN : 9781412921305.
302.54 YUV 136325
The author provides a cutting-edge investigation of the
challenging debates around belonging and the politics of
belonging. Alongside the hegemonic forms of citizenship
and nationalism which have tended to dominate our recent
political and social history, the author examines
alternative contemporary political projects of belonging
constructed around the notions of religion,
cosmopolitanism, and the feminist ethics of caret. The
book also explores the effects of globalization, mass
migration, the rise of both fundamentalist and human
rights movements on such politics of belonging, as well
as some of its radicalized and gendered dimensions. A
special space is given to the various feminist political
movements that have been engaged as part of or in
resistance to the political projects of belonging.

(Global political economy).
ISBN : 9780415361286.
325.1 GRU 136327
This new volume includes four detailed case studies on
labour, migration, children and development that explore
the actual nature of governance policies in the GPE. Jean
Grugel and Nicola Piper clearly show how global
governance, the creation of global norms and regimes to
regulate polities, economic and social actors, suggests
and promotes ideals such as stable politics, democracy,
human rights and individualism, with a strategy to create
a more ordered and ultimately better world. They move
away from the traditional focus on tlites, states and
global institutions to explore and analyze how liberal
global governance is really affecting ordinary people and
how this is often an obstacle to development,
citizenship, voice and inclusion. Paying particular
attention to the global South, Asia and Latin America,
these expert authors trace the development of liberal
global governance.

ISBN : 9780199658411.

The book presents the results of a shared project of
reflection by an interdisciplinary group of researchers
from around the world. It contends that there is no quick
fix to the current financial and political system. Life
beyond the crisis requires a transformation of the
mindset that led to bankruptcy and despair, and to
economies and societies based on an unsustainable model
of speculative finance and political irresponsibility.
The book explains why and explores the contours of the
world emerging in the aftermath of the crisis.

This book is the most serious economic crisis since the
Great Depression, and although many have explored its
causes, relatively few have focused on its consequences.
Unlike earlier crises, no new paradigm seems yet to have
come forward to challenge existing ways of thinking and
neo-liberalism has emerged relatively unscathed. This
crisis, characterized by remarkable policy stability, has
lacked a coherent and innovative intellectual response.
This book however systematically explores the
consequences of the crisis, focusing primarily on its
impact on policy and politics. It asks how governments
responded to the challenges that the crisis has posed,
and the policy and political impact of the combination of
both the Global Financial Crisis itself and these
responses.

Cleaner Hearths, Better Homes draws on case studies from
the Indian states of Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka,
Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal, and other stove
programmes around the globe. The book describes India-s
best improved biomass stove programmes, and recommends
ways in which the international community can promote the
use of more affordable stoves as against the traditional
cookstoves. These new stoves are energy efficient as well
as easy to use, thereby leading to a significant
reduction in indoor air pollution and health risks. The
findings of the Indian government-s stove programmes are
translated into a set of recommendations in this book
that could prove beneficial for half the world-s
population that depends on biomass energy for their
livelihoods.

This book highlights the interconnections between three
framing concepts in the development of modern Western
law: religion, race, and rights. Highlighting the
historical interconnections between religion, race, and
rights aids our understanding of contemporary socio-legal
issues. In the 21st century, the economic might of the US
and the West often leads to a myopic vision of law and a
belief in its universal application. This ignores the
cultural specificity of Western legal concepts and
prevents us from appreciating that, analogous to previous
colonial periods, in a global political economy, Anglo-
American law is not always transportable, transferable,
or translatable across political landscapes and religious
communities. It can be used by undergraduate and graduate
law students studying legal studies, anthropology,
history, political science, and criminal justice.

Human right to water : significance, legal status and
implications for water allocation / Inga T Winkler.--
Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2012.
viii, 340p, 24cm.
ISBN : 9781849462839.
341.4 WIN 136422
In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly and the
Human Rights Council recognized the human right to water.
This formal recognition has put the issue high on the
international agenda, but, by itself, leaves many
questions unanswered. This book addresses this gap and
clarifies the legal status and meaning of the right to
water through a detailed analysis of its legal
foundations, legal nature, normative content, and
corresponding State obligations. The human right to water
has wide-ranging implications for the distribution of
water. Examining these implications requires putting the
right to water into the broader context of different
water uses, and analyzing the linkages and competition
with other human rights that depend on water for their
realization. Water allocation is a highly political issue
reflecting societal power relations, with current
priorities often benefiting the well-off and
powerful. Human rights, in contrast, require prioritizing
the most basic needs of all people. The human right to
water has the potential to address these underlying
structural causes of the lack of access to water, rooted
in inequalities and poverty by empowering people to hold
the State accountable to live up to its human rights
obligations and to demand that people-s basic needs are
met with priority.

viii, 540p, 24cm.
ISBN : 9781849460637.

This book argues that these -multilevel governance
failures- are largely due to inadequate regulation of the
-collective action problems- in the supply of
international public goods, such as inadequate legal,
judicial, and democratic accountability of governments
vis a-vis citizens. Rather than treating citizens as mere
objects of intergovernmental economic and environmental
regulation and leaving multilevel governance of
international public goods to discretionary -foreign
policy,- human rights and constitutional democracy call
for -civilizing- and -constitutionalzing- international
economic and environmental cooperation by stronger legal
and judicial protection of citizens and their
constitutional rights in international economic law.

When emerging economies draft competition law and begin
to enforce it, they usually draw on the EU and US
competition law systems. However, significant country-
specific legal and practical variations tend to arise
quickly, making it imperative for international business
lawyers to acquire more than a passing knowledge of
competition legislation and relevant case law in these
countries.

existing structures of global health policies. Like its
critically acclaimed predecessors, this book covers a
comprehensive range of topics, including access to
medicines, mental health, water and sanitation,
nutrition, and war and conflict. Unlike most
documentations of global health, it also draws attention
to the politics of global health and the policies and
actions of key actors. Global Health Watch books are the
definitive independent sources of data on global health,
and this third volume offers unique and essential
information for anyone working in the field.

Encouraging a transition to a corporate governance model
that builds value rather than accepting complacency or
defending the status quo, this volume describes how to
improve the performance of all institutions. Realizing
that board members have a much bigger potential aside
from their fiduciary or stewardship responsibilities to
stakeholders, this account considers responses made by
regulators and professional institutions within the
context of sustainable long-term improvement in board
performance. The chapters in this book discuss topics
such as board structure, board size, and diversity by
emphasizing evidence from international empirical
research.

This work is the first history and evaluation of
contemporary American critical theory within its European
philosophical contexts. In the first part, Frank
Lentricchia analyzes the impact on our critical thought
of Frye, Stevens, Kermode, Sartre, Poulet, Heidegger,
Saussure, Barthes, Ltvi-Strauss, Derrida, and Foucault,
among other, less central figures. In a second part,
Lentricchia turns to four exemplary theorists on the
American scenetMurray Krieger, E. D. Hirsch, Jr., Paul de
Man, and Harold Bloomtand an analysis of their careers
within the lineage established in part one. Lentricchia-s
critical intention is in evidence in his sustained attack
on the more or less hidden formalist premises inherited
from the New Critical fathers.
