The motor industry has undergone a period of rapid and far-reaching change. The restructuring of the world economy and technological change have led to new patterns of automobile production, distribution and consumption. "Restructuring the Global Automobile Industry" examines the implications of these changes at world, national and local levels. The motor industry has often been representative of wider patterns of industrial change - hence the widespread adoption of the term "Fordism". This is borne out by recent trends. Japanese firms have become major players and this has been reflected in t

When Gorbachev introduced the concepts of "glasnost" and "perestroika" to the world, they were greeted with optimism and hope. Glasnost has exceeded all expectations; perestroika seems less likely to meet its goals.

Restructuring the Soviet Economy examines Gorbachev’s most pressing problem: the disintegration of the Soviet economy. David Dyker argues that the current chaos can be understood only in the context of the failure of fifty y

"[The Restructuring of American Religion] is the most expansive and one of the most profound inquiries into the condition of American religious structure since World War II. . . . To carry on debates about this structure now without reference to Wuthnow would be to attempt to track a landscape of near-chaos without using the best available road map and set of markers. It is likely that we will be citing "Wuthnow’ as we have been referring eponymically to major interpretations of "Herberg’ or "Berger’ or "Bellah.’" --Martin Marty, Religious Studies Review "This book is t
