  • a Political economy of asian sex tourism
    Annals of Tourism Research, 1995
    Co-Authors: David Leheny
    Abstract:

    Abstract Sex represents an important tourism attraction for many developing countries. Like all markets, however, sex tourism is both an economic and Political Phenomenon. It cannot exist without sources of demand, where these types of transactions are considered to be socially and Politically legitimate. In the case of Japanese sex tourism to Thailand, the market has been rocked by the development of greater women's rights in Japan. This has shifted the economic constraints on Thai policymakers, who are now confronted with a lucrative demand source that is increasingly avoiding sex destinations. As social movements change Japanese consumer choices and investment strategies, they affect genderized notions of the masculine “high politics” of international finance and economic development.

  • Potentia: Hobbes and Spinoza on Power and Popular Politics
    2020
    Co-Authors: Field, Sandra Leonie
    Abstract:

    This book offers a detailed study of the Political philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Benedict de Spinoza, focussing on their concept of power as potentia, concrete power, rather than power as potestas, authorised power. The focus on power as potentia generates a new conception of popular power. Radical democrats–whether drawing on Hobbes's 'sleeping sovereign' or on Spinoza's 'multitude'–understand popular power as something that transcends ordinary institutional politics, as for instance popular plebsites or mass movements. However, the book argues that these understandings reflect a residual scholasticism which Hobbes and Spinoza ultimately repudiate. Instead, on the book's revisionist conception, a Political Phenomenon should be said to express popular power when it is both popular (it eliminates oligarchy and encompasses the whole polity), and also powerful (it robustly determines Political and social outcomes). Two possible institutional forms that this popular power might take are distinguished: Hobbesian repressive egalitarianism, or Spinozist civic strengthening. But despite divergent institutional proposals, the book argues that both Hobbes and Spinoza share the conviction that there is nothing spontaneously egalitarian or good about human collective existence. From this point of view, the book accuses radical democrats of pernicious romanticism; the slow, meticulous work of organizational design and maintenance is the true centre of popular power. Open access for first chapter available via Oxford Scholarship Online until March 2021; three minute video summary available via HPBin3. (See links below.

  • civil society as a Political Phenomenon
    Sociological Research, 1993
    Co-Authors: Sergei Peregudov
    Abstract:

    The process of genesis of civil society and a constitutional state currently taking place in Russia and the other countries of the former Union elicits a natural desire to probe more deeply into their essential nature and content. Much is already understood in this area, but a number of questions remain unclear or contentious. One of the most important is the "Political dimension" of civil society, and the essence and character of the way it interacts with the state.

  • TERRORISM, AS SOCIO-Political Phenomenon AND IMPEDING FACTOR FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS
    Ecoforum, 2015
    Co-Authors: Teimuraz Shengelia
    Abstract:

    Economic stability and peace are the important determinants of socio-economic development in the modern world. Analysis of the situation in conflicting regions worldwide clarifies that at the modern stage it is very complicated to reach this. One of the main factors, which cause the process of economic and Political destabilization, is global terrorism, which became the world’s important Phenomenon. After the terrorist act of 11 September in the USA in 2001 and the terrorist act on the journal “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris in 2015 the problem became more acute. Compared with 2013, in 2014 the world terrorism threat increased up to 61%, which considerably limits dynamic development of the global market. In such countries, where threat of terrorism is high, it becomes far difficult to develop the international trade relations, inflow of foreign investments go into decline, and the danger of starting business is high. Within this context, the main principles of market formation are determined not by the supply-demand Phenomenon, but the main source of its destabilization is the fear caused in result of terrorism. In result of we receive atrophied market relations, when separate states possess relevant resources and economic potential for economic development, but in result of interference of exogamic forces (terrorism) it is impossible to perfectly master them and, owing to this, dynamic development of the economic system. In the presented article we have studied the socio-Political aspects of terrorism and its influence on the global business.
