A group of internationally prominent China scholars held a conference at the Hoover Institution in December 1994 to discuss how U.S. policy can best respond to recent changes in China and made clear that a "get-tough" policy would ultimately fail. This volume presents, in ten authoritative chapters, the first comprehensive overview of this complex topic?along with sound reasoning to support its provocative conclusion. The end of the cold war left the United States as the world’s only superpower, but greater China was already in the throes of major change. As a post-Mao People’s Rep

The gospel of Mark, especially in 10:32-45, contains teachings attributed to Jesus about the use and abuse of power. This book applies a combination of different methods and approaches: mainly orality, criticism, literary criticism and a sensitivity for the social and cultural environment of the text, showing the centrality of Jesus’s message on the issue of power both for the plot and for the theology of Mark. This message is a call to practice leadership in a way that is subversive toward the networks of power of the empire.

In 20th century society, oil has played a fundamental role not only from the economic point of view, but also from the point of view of the political relationships established between major Western countries and oil-producing countries. A survey into oil history, its market dynamics and price evolution, is essential for a deeper understanding of modern industry and world economy, as world development depends on oil supplies, prices, and its political accessibility. Oil Economics and Policy follows the historical development of the oil industry, and inevitably also covers many aspec

Que sabe la literatura de Puig? Segun que medios, inhallables en otra obra, formula ese saber? Un saber de que naturaleza? Nos preguntabamos: por que nos gustan las novelas de Puig?, por que creemos, sin duda, en el valor literario de esta obra?, y, ademas, por que no encontramos en la critica, ni siquiera en aquella que comparte nuestras apreciaciones, una referencia a eso que seria lo propio de esta literatura, lo que ella tiene, para nosotros, de incomparable?, cual, si no la parodia, la critica ideologica o la modernidad, es su verdadero valor? Todo gira alrededor de una incognita: eso, es
