Thus strategies to control disorder and create and maintain order may suddenly precipitate change. Baker's application of these theories to an island nation that has received little detailed attention in the past makes this a highly original work, as does his holistic, post-modern perspective. In addition to presenting a sensitive historical analysis, he confronts the dilemma of meaning in peripheral situations and the experience of dependency in the world system. Centring the Periphery is germane to understanding the majority of the world's people and makes a significant contribution to the study of society in developing nations.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / GeneralbisacshDominicaHistoryPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / General.972.9841Baker Patrick L1468928MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782733403321Centring the periphery3680301UNINA01195nam0 22003253i 450 PUV059276220251003044314.020230901d1943 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrierCorso di diritto costituzionaleSanti Romano7. ed. riveduta e aggiornataPadova CEDAM1943454 p.25 cm.Corso di diritto costituzionale.MSE0067717CFIV07593066080Diritto costituzionaleFIRCFIC000969E342DIRITTO COSTITUZIONALE E AMMINISTRATIVO21342.45DIRITTO COSTITUZIONALE E AMMINISTRATIVO.22Romano, Santi <1875-1947>CFIV075930070225702ITIT-00000020230901IT-BN0095 NAP 01V $PUV0592762Biblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneo1 v. 01V (S) 000 843 01S 0009008435 VMA 1 v.Y 2014052220140522 01Corso di diritto costituzionale66080UNISANNIO
