Sommario/riassunto |
|
During the most idealistic years of John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress development program, Bolivia was the highest per capita recipient of U.S. foreign aid in Latin America. Nonetheless, Washington's modernization programs in early 1960's Bolivia ended up on a collision course with important sectors of the country's civil society, including radical workers, rebellious students, and a plethora of rightwing and leftwing political parties. In From Development to Dictatorship, Thomas C. Field Jr. reconstructs the untold story of |

USAID's first years in Bolivia, including the country's 1964 military coup d'état. Field draws heavily on local sources to demonstrate that Bolivia's turn toward anticommunist, development-oriented dictatorship was the logical and practical culmination of the military-led modernization paradigm that provided the liberal underpinnings of Kennedy's Alliance for Progress. In the process, he explores several underappreciated aspects of Cold War liberal internationalism: the tendency of "development" to encourage authoritarian solutions to political unrest, the connection between modernization theories and the rise of Third World armed forces, and the intimacy between USAID and CIA covert operations. Challenging the conventional dichotomy between ideology and strategy in international politics, From Development to Dictatorship engages with a growing literature on development as a key rubric for understanding the interconnected processes of decolonization and the Cold War. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores PEM fuels cells and their potential in the energy transition. PEM fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can harness hydrogen energy and transform it into electricity. The book is divided into three. The first section looks into the fundamentals of PEM fuel cells. The second explores computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of the dynamics of them. Every section of this book contains illuminating illustrations and informative tables. The final section provides bring together many practical applications and insightful recommendations, catering to both newcomers to the subject and existing fuel cell professionals. This book acts as useful introduction and guide to PEM fuel cells for student engineers, experienced practitioners, and researchers. |
