(For most of the post-war period, alcohol problems have be...)
For most of the post-war period, alcohol problems have been viewed primarily as individual problems. More recently, research has highlighted the importance of larger socio-economic factors in shaping drinking levels, patterns and problems. However, it has hitherto largely ignored a paramount force which shapes this larger socio-economic environment: the modern multinational corporation. The aim of this book is to demonstrate, on the basis of historical analysis, that transnational corporate structures and marketing strategies exercise a powerful impact on the availability and consumption of alcoholic beverages in both developed and developing marketing economies. While the authors would not therefore want to suggest a single causal relationship between corporate strategies and the consumption of alcoholic beverages, the implications of their work are of the greatest significance to public health throughout the world. The book will be an indispensable work for those interested in public health, alcoholism, and multinational business.

This fully updated and expanded second edition of The Field Guide to the Global Economy presents the latest facts to help make sense of the rapidly changing international economy. Illustrated throughout with charts, graphs, and cartoons, the book documents new trends, including the foreign “outsourcing” of U.S. service jobs, as well as the increasing influence of mega-firms like Wal-Mart and labor union-free China on workers around the globe. Published in conjunction with the Institute for Policy Studies, an independent research institute based in Washington, D.C., this accessible guide explains how global institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and North American Free Trade Agreement affect communities, workers, the poor, and the environment. The book dispels the widely disseminated propaganda about current globalization policies and provides an update on the burgeoning movement that is challenging them, from Bolivian water warriors to U.S. student anti-sweatshop activists.

( This gripping portrait of environmental politics chroni...)
This gripping portrait of environmental politics chronicles the devastating destruction of the Philippine countryside and reveals how ordinary men and women are fighting back. Traveling through a land of lush rainforests, the authors have recorded the experiences of the people whose livelihoods are disappearing along with their country's natural resources. The result is an inspiring, informative account of how peasants, fishers, and other laborers have united to halt the plunder and to improve their lives. These people do not debate global warming—they know that their very lives depend on the land and oceans, so they block logging trucks, protest open-pit mining, and replant trees. In a country where nearly two-thirds of the children are impoverished, the reclaiming of natural resources is offering young people hope for a future. Plundering Paradise is essential reading for anyone interested in development, the global environment, and political life in the Third World.
