This book proposes a new explanation for this unexpected political quiescence. It shows how reforming governments in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic have been able to prevent massive waves of strikes and protests by the strategic use of welfare state programs such as pensions and unemployment benefits. Divide and Pacify explains how social policies were used to prevent massive job losses with softening labor market policies, or to split up highly aggrieved groups of workers in precarious jobs by sending some of them onto unemployment benefits and many others onto early retirement and disability pensions. From a narrow economic viewpoint, these policies often appeared to be immensely costly or irresponsibly populist. Yet a more inclusive social-scientific perspective can shed new light on these seemingly irrational policies by pointing to deeper political motives and wider sociological consequences.New democraciesEurope, CentralPatronage, PoliticalEurope, CentralEurope, CentralSocial policyPolandPolitics and government1989-Czech RepublicPolitics and government1993-HungaryPolitics and government1989-New democraciesPatronage, Political320.9437Vanhuysse Pieter1237320MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911096654003321Divide and pacify4755408UNINA02430nam 22005654a 450 991109011350332120251117115053.00-520-92788-51-59734-520-2(CKB)111087027178632(EBL)224651(OCoLC)475931691(SSID)ssj0000116651(PQKBManifestationID)11131919(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000116651(PQKBWorkID)10033282(PQKB)10032296(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055805(MiAaPQ)EBC224651(Au-PeEL)EBL224651(CaPaEBR)ebr10050800(EXLCZ)9911108702717863220010814d2002 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCacti biology and uses /edited by Park S.

Cacti are recognized for their attractive flowers, special stem shapes, and ability to tolerate drought. Because of their efficient use of water and other adaptations, biological and agronomic interest in cacti has soared.CactusCactusUtilizationCactus.CactusUtilization.583/.56Nobel Park S283350MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911090113503321Cacti4787094UNINA04407nam 2200697Ia 450 991114004060332120260415133903.00-19-756052-01-280-52713-797866105271370-19-535889-91-4294-0787-5(CKB)1000000000406015(EBL)271224(OCoLC)270932816(SSID)ssj0000128073(PQKBManifestationID)11147845(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000128073(PQKBWorkID)10064184(PQKB)11375441(MiAaPQ)EBC271224(StDuBDS)EDZ0002341666(Au-PeEL)EBL271224(CaPaEBR)ebr10142127(CaONFJC)MIL52713(OCoLC)936850575(EXLCZ)99100000000040601519930416d1993 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComputers in geology 25 years of progress /edited by John C.

Eigen: Legendary Father of Mathematical Geology; IndexThis volume vividly demonstrates the importance and increasing breadth of quantitative methods in the earth sciences. With contributions from an international cast of leading practitioners, chapters cover a wide range of state-of-the-art methods and applications, including computer modeling and mapping techniques. Many chapters also contain reviews and extensive bibliographies which serve to make this an invaluable introduction to the entire field. In addition to its detailed presentations, the book includes chapters on the history of geomathematics and on R.G.V. Eigen, the "father" of mathematical geology. Written to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the International Association for Mathematical Geology, the book will be sought after by both practitioners and researchers in all branches of geology.Studies in mathematical geology ;5.GeologyData processingGeologyMathematicsData processingGeologyData processing.GeologyMathematicsData processing.550.285550/.285551.0285Davis John CHerzfeld Ute ChristinaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911140040603321UNINA
