This collection investigates 500 years of the relationship between warfare, research, and instruments - both physical and intellectual - to understand this interaction. With U.S., English and French examples, contributors provide examples from army and naval history to show how governments and individuals made warfare scientific, developing instruments, stations, and organizations that furthered the cause. Some developments directly aided war efforts; others were parts of 'normal science' in peacetime; and others were relatively ineffective in directly bringing about military change. These developmental histories shed light on the origins of modern scientific warfare. Contributors: Steven A. Walton; William A. Lynch; Jamel Ostwald; Seymour H. Mauskopf ; James R.

Yet the liberal assumption is that if the market does its job, the poor will catch up to the rich via trade-driven growth and the economies of developed and less developed countries will gradually converge. Investigating the processes of economic globalization, this book explores whether it is truly a ""global"" process. It examines how globalization is experienced around the worlRethinking globalizations ;21.International economic relationsGlobalizationEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesEconomic conditionsGlobalizationNorth and southInternational economic relations.GlobalizationEconomic aspects.33714ssgn89.93bclQM 520rvkThompson William R141765Reuveny Rafael734024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799950603321Limits to globalization3875787UNINA02356oas 2200937 a 450 991014051760332120251120214427.01468-2370(DE-599)ZDB2026303-X(OCoLC)42698392(CONSER) 2007252069(CKB)963017835280(EXLCZ)9996301783528019991025a19999999 sy engurmnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInternational journal of management reviews[Oxford] Blackwell Publishers1999-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedTitle from journal information screen (Blackwell, viewed Oct. 25, 1999).1460-8545 IJMRManagementPeriodicalsBusinessPeriodicalsBusinessfast(OCoLC)fst00842262Managementfast(OCoLC)fst01007141AffairesrasuqamGestionrasuqamDirecció d'empresesthubPeriodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftPériodique électronique (Descripteur de forme)rasuqamRessource Internet (Descripteur de forme)rasuqamRevistes electròniques.thubManagementBusinessBusiness.Management.Affaires.Gestion.Direcció d'empreses.658F#AF#AOCLCQRBNOCLCQVRCWAUUQ1OCLCQSHSUKMGBOKUUBFCEFOCLCQOCLCOOCLCFCOOOCLCOOCLCQNLEOCLCQNJTU3WUBYOCLCOOCLCQUABYWSOCLCLOCLCQJOURNAL9910140517603321International journal of management reviews979503UNINA
