Paradigm Theory & Policy Making (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

A review of clashes between global and local economics, reveals a new insight for anticipating the economic future.

Paradigm Theory and Policy Making is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking treatise on the forces that have shaped the political economies of the developed and developing world since World War II. The author-a vastly experienced policy maker, nationally and internationally-takes us on a journey that encompasses not just economics but political science, sociology, philosophy and cultural studies as he presents an alternative framework to conventional academic ideas.

Along the way, he provides a critical evaluation of theories that have dominated economic thought in the last 50 years and highlights the dangers of a blanket application of such theories without taking into account the "real-world" practicalities confronted by nation states in a globalizing world.

Topics include:

• The Conceptual Framework of the Paradigm Theory
• Civilization, Culture and the Paradigm of Political Economy
• American Values and the Paradigm of Political Economy
• The Post-Terror Paradigm
• Developing Economies and the Paradigm of Political Economy
• A reflection on "Innocence and Design"
