In this book Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and co-author Raaj Sah address one of development's major issues. During the early phases of economic development, there are often serious conflicts between the interests of town and country. The Corn Law Debate in England, the economic conflicts between the North and the South prior to the US Civil War, and the Soviet Industrialization Debate are among the historical examples. Most of today's countries face town versus country tensions of increasing severity, including such issues as who should pay how much in taxes, who should get how much in subsidies, and what forms the taxes and subsidies should take. This volume analyses these tensions and issues, taking into account the great diversity of institutions and economic environments observed in different developing countries. While dealing primarily with today's developing countries, the book also sheds some new light on some of the historical controversies. Each chapter contains a non-technical statement of the problems at hand and a summary of the analysis. The book will be of interest to public finance economists, and practitioners and researchers of economic development, as well as to economic historians.

Julia V. Douthwaite describes the interrelated representations of cultural and sexual difference in key French works of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The heroines of this book are foreign women, brought to France through no will of their own, and forced into the margins of a new society. The author contends that their experience resonates with larger cultural beliefs about exotic and primitive peoples in ancien régime France and illuminates some of the blind spots in Enlightenment thought.

When the Ottoman Empire collapsed following the First World War, the feudal system which had survived untouched in much of Anatolia began to change. Kemal Ataturk's task of building a nation 'from the people up' meant that the peasantry, by far Turkey's largest ethnographic group, became an important symbol of social cohesion. Here, Sinan Yildirmaz analyses the history of modern Turkey through the material culture of this peasantry - their speeches, social club documents, art and diaries - and reveals a rich social and political life which flowered after the Second World War. Politics and the Peasantry in Post-War Turkey is the first history to show how the changing peasantry laid the foundations for the modern Turkish state, and will be essential reading for students and scholars of the Ottoman Empire and of the History of Modern Turkey.

The collective monograph is devoted to the study of trends in the development of modern Ukrainian society. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach, which allows analyzing various aspects of the development of social processes in Ukraine and obtaining socially significant scientific results. The subject of Yuri Boyko's scientific interests are various manifestations of life activities of the population of Forest-Steppe Ukraine in the 19th century. - demographic, social, economic, cultural. In the proposed research, the author's attention is focused on the structure of the social organism, the dynamics of changes, regional features of the social organization of the population, for the first time in domestic historiography, the issues of social topology, the construction of the social landscapes of the Right-Bank and Left-Bank components of the Forest-Steppe Ukraine, the place of Ukrainian provinces in the social space of the European part of the Russian Empire are specifically considered 1850s - 1860s. Svitlana Bogatchuk pays attention to the study of the life path of the founder of Ukrainian ethnographic science, the Ukrainian Pavlo Chubynskyi. It should be noted that in 1869-1872, under his leadership, ethnographic expeditions were conducted on the territory of Dnieper Ukraine, based on the materials of which seven volumes of the "Proceedings of the Ethnographic and Statistical Expedition" were published, which became a significant phenomenon in the cultural life of the Ukrainian people, convincingly showing the world their originality Ukrainian national spiritual culture. In 1872, the South-Western Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society was opened in Kyiv, in the formation of which Pavlo Chubynsky played a decisive role. The main task of the society was to collect, process and distribute geographical, ethnographic and statistical information. Kostyantyn Levchuk's research is aimed at studying the process of activity of non-governmental organizations of commodity producers of Ukraine in the context of reforming economic relations. Trade union organizations, as the most representative public organizations of workers, had to prove to the power structures their position, their vision regarding the ways out of the crisis and further social development. Public organizations operating in the spheres of economy include associations of entrepreneurs, farmers, tenants, employers and private owners. They are the result of self-organization of commodity producers, which contributes to increased structuring and self-regulation of the economy. Unlike trade unions, public associations of entrepreneurs faced other tasks, which consisted in the formation of corporate interests and awareness of the need to develop their own consistent and comprehensive economic policy. Ihor Belkin's chapter is devoted to trends in the development of educational services under today's conditions. The author pays attention to the dynamics of changes in the educational process under the influence of market relations. Attention is drawn to the key positions of each of the participants in the educational process. The legislative framework of education is analyzed. The content of the final result of the educational process is revealed. Comparative characteristics of the leading higher education institutions of Ukraine and their competitiveness are given. The key trends in the development of the provision of educational services abroad are characterized. In the context of the education market, the position of the main participants in this space is revealed in detail. At the end of his chapter, the author offers a set of analytical conclusions and proposals. Volodymyr Manhora's scientific research is aimed at forming knowledge about the state when teaching the history of Ukraine. The historical-methodological aspect of the research has been developed, which shows the dynamics of changes in the content of knowledge about the state and the methods of their assimilation in the learning process. According to the author, this is related to the appropriate conditions for the existence of historical and legal education in a specific historical period of the development of society, the development of methodical science, and the accumulation of teaching experience. Only on the basis of the analysis of the historical and methodological aspect of this problem, modern achievements of methodical science and teaching practice, it is possible to scientifically justify and experimentally verify the effective method of forming knowledge about the state. Investigating the problem of the formation of the institution of inheritance in Ukraine and the peculiarities of the implementation of inheritance cases in the conditions of martial law, Tamilа Manhorа examines the controversial aspects of the legal regulation of the relevant legal relations. The introduction of martial law in Ukraine undoubtedly affected all spheres of social relations, including inheritance. In this period, questions that previously had only theoretical importance become urgent. In particular, the war and the temporary occupation of certain territories of Ukraine by the enemy significantly affect the exercise of rights by individuals in the field of inheritance law. It is, first of all, about significant obstacles in the realization of the right to receive inheritance. Because of this, the state must effectively and timely respond to such challenges in order to protect the rights and interests of subjects, as well as ensure the stability of property turnover. There is no doubt that war is a significant destabilizing factor in the dynamics of property relations. Therefore, the task of legal doctrine in this extremely difficult period for the state is to develop effective mechanisms for subjects to exercise their inheritance rights for their further regulatory implementation. Olga Durach's chapter examines the history of military courts in Ukraine. The main reasons that contributed to the liquidation of military courts have been revealed. The basic principles of the organization of the work of military courts in Ukraine have been determined. Peculiarities and problematic issues of the administration of justice during the period of martial law have been studied, and the reasons for the need to resume the work of military courts have been determined. Ways to resolve controversial issues regarding the resumption of military courts in Ukraine are proposed. Zorislav Makarov explores traditional forms of philosophical determinism in his creative work. Significant attention is paid to the reception and transformation of such ancient and medieval philosophical concepts in the synthetic context of Renaissance determinism, such as the physics of Aristotle, the history of Titus Livius, the mystical pantheism of the Neoplatonists and Nicholas of Cusa, the magic and astrology of Hermeticism, the theological ontology of Aurelius Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. The sequence of overcoming medieval dualism in nomology is established from the humanistic mastering of the potential of transcendent powers in legislation by the Renaissance man due to its limitation by the requirements of social and political expediency to the new substantialization of nature in the form of rational principles of its movement and transformations of natural things. The content of the collective monograph corresponds to the direction of scientific work of the Department of History of Ukraine and Philosophy of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. The monograph is the result of the initiative topic "Research of trends in socio-economic development and consolidation of Ukrainian society in the modern history of Ukraine". State registration number 0122U001425. The head of the subject is Professor K. I. Levchuk).

The growth of the modern world urban system is the greatest episode of urban growth there has ever been, but it is not the first. Three thousand years ago most of the Mediterranean basin was a world of villages; a world without money or writing, without temples for the gods or palaces for the mighty. Over the centuries that followed, however, an extraordinary series of civilizations grew up around the Inland Sea. They included those of the Greeks and Romans, but also others created by Etruscans and Phoenicians, by Tartessians and Lycians, and eventually by many others. At the heart of all these cultures was the city. Most ancient cities were tiny by modern standards, but they were the building blocks of all the states and empires of classical antiquity, the places where new literatures and art forms were created, the motors of history and the most fiercely contested prizes of warfare. The greatest cities--Athens and Corinth, Syracuse and Marseilles, Alexandria and Ephesus, Antioch and Carthage, Rome and Byzantium--became the powerhouses of successive ancient societies. And then, for reasons that remain mysterious, the cities withered away, leaving behind evocative ruins that have fascinated and inspired so many who came after. The Life and Death of Ancient Cities tells the story of the rise and collapse of Europe's first great urban experiment. Drawing on the latest historical and archaeological evidence, Greg Woolf provides a rich narrative history of the ancient Mediterranean city, and attempts to solve the puzzles about its rapid emergence and equally rapid decline, making comparisons along the way with contemporary urban experience. Containing dozens of illustrations, with sidebar commentaries on specific urban themes, this book will appeal to all students and general readers of ancient history.

This book examines the interrelations between Russian and European economics from the early 19th century to the present. It analyzes how Western economic thinking, such as classical economics and the marginal revolution, influenced Russian economic thinking and how Western economic ideas were modified and adapted to better reflect the specific Russian circumstances of the time. Moreover, the contributions in this book show how these modified ideas also influenced Western economists at the end of the 19th century, when Russian economics had reached the stage of professionalism and joined the international discourse on the discipline. Written by an international selection of respected experts, this book provides an overview of the most influential Russian economists and covers a wide range of topics such as the marginal revolution, the specific influence of Marxism, the evolution of mathematics and statistics in Russia in the 1890s–1920s, and the unique experience of building a planned economy in the Soviet Union. It is intended for all scholars and students who are interested in the history of economic thought.
