Development, Globalization, Global Values, and Security

Beschreibung

This book, written in honor of Arno Tausch, presents cutting-edge research on globalization, development, and global values. Internationally renowned authors cover topics such as global economic and political cycles, global values, and support for terrorism. 
Over the last five decades, the Austrian political scientist Arno Tausch was a pioneer in studies on globalization, development and global values. This collection of essays takes up the issues dealt with by Tausch and presents perspectives for the 21st Century. Throughout his work, Tausch applied quantitative methods to study the fundamental issues of the global political economy and the global political system, like dependency, economic and political cycles, and global values, based on a rigorous study of available social scientific data, like the World Values Survey and the Arab Barometer. 
The thematic catholicity of this volume offers a fine reflection of the width and breadth of Arno Tausch's scholarship. The collected essays address crucially important topics of our age all of which comprised TAUSCH's many publications. Kudos to the editors and contributors for assembling such a fine anthology celebrating a fine scholar.

“I first got in touch with Arno when I was Editor of the International Journal of Health Planning and Management, and he was contributing material on how globalisation was adversely affecting public health. As I came to explore his work, I realised that his recent work on health was but a small nugget in an immense quarry. This festschrift illustrates the trajectory of his work, from world systems and dependency to his studies on religions today. Early on, Arno rejected Hayek (and I wish that some of the clowns running the UK today could understand why.) His primary concern is with the marginalised and the underdog, but in the context of a morally inspired social-liberal vision for mankind. He is unusual in being a world theorist with a practical orientation to his theory at the very least in the sense that policymaking would be better-off if it heeded the results of his research. In an age of intellectual dead-ends and self-doubt, Arno is a giant.” (Calum Paton, Emeritus Professor of Public Policy, Keele University, UK)

“As an academic in political science, reading the essays compiled in this book gave me new and interesting insights into TAUCH’s approach to research during his career. It is also a valuable contribution by fellow academics in these fields which builds on the work TAUCH has done with the necessary mindfulness and critical analysis that gives this book valued credibility. In his introduction, the editor confidently hoped that “this work will provide a contribution, however minimal, so that the values chosen consistently show direction to our duties towards one another, our shared humanity.” I believe this book does indeed adhere to these aspirations in a way TAUCH surely approves of and readers will, importantly, understand. I confidentlyrecommend this book for anyone who appreciated TAUCH’s commitment to these values. For some it will be a timeously reminder of our duties to one another, and for others a necessary wake up call.” (Dr Ina Gouws, Political Studies and Governance, University of the Free State, South Africa)
