Globalisation which has dominated the Post Cold War International Order is a comprehensive process with its wide ranging implications for most of the countries of the world today. As a concept globalisation is still debatable largely because of the complexities of this phenomenon. Whether globalisation has to be viewed in terms of its historical continuity or as an exclusively post Cold War process in difficult to ascertain. It is also confusing whether globalisation is an economic process or a socio political process or a complex of all. Despite all encompassing confusions and complexities globalisation has become an inescapable reality particularly for the countries of the developing world because of their own internal socio economic and political complexities. Like many developing countries the South Asian states have tried to respond to the process of globalisation. Whether it is possible to draw certain parallels in this regard is an important question. Globalisation has both positive and negative connotations. To what extent South Asian countries are capable to take advantage of the positive aspects and avoid the negative impacts. Is it possible to find out an alternative to globalisation. To what extent South Asian states are capable in forgoing an equilibrium between different dimensions of globalisation. These are some important issues of enquiry in the context of process of globalisation and nation states. The present volume includes studies focusing on the responses capacities and capabilities of South Asian countries vis a vis globalisation. The studies focusing both on the region as a whole and the individual countries are included here to examine the above raised issues. 190 pp.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1995 Trust for Wessex Archaeology large format paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Excavations in advance of housing development on the outskirts of Basingstoke revealed extensive evidence of Iron Age, Roman, and medieval occupation. A series of Early-Late Iron Age enclosure complexes, including a banjo enclosure, contained evidence for zones of domestic settlement which included pits, four-post structures, and extensive assemblages of artefacts, bone, and carbonised plant remains. Site A contained the remains of a medieval church with associated graveyard and domestic structures. A two-cell church of 11th-12th century date survived as well found-dations surrounded by fenced graveyard. At least six timber buildings and associated pits and post-holes indicate unenclosed settlement close by. In the late 12th-14th centuries the graveyard was enclosed by ditches and at least 250 burials made. A priest was buried in the church with a pewter paten and chalice. Further wooden buildings, pits, an oven, and a trackway form part of an enclosed settlement - probably the lost medieval village of Hatch.…

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover, 8vo, in three-quarter brown morocco over marble paper covered boards, the spine with five raised bands, the compartments decorated with gilt, titles and volume numbers to the second and fourth compartments and date London/1875 at foot. Bound by F.P. Hathaway Binder, Boston as stamp signed verso front endpaper. Top edge gilt, others trimmed. Watercolor effect marbled end papers. CONDITION: Very Good. Light marks, occasional toning and light foxing, a couple of dog-eared pages noted. Small losses to head of spine vols 2 and 3. Still, an excellent reading copy. **Included are all of Peacock's seven notable satiric novels, including the comic-gothic 1818 "Nightmare Abbey," which skewers the work of contemporary Romantic writers Byron and especially Percy Bysshe Shelley, making light of a young gentleman, Scythrop Glowry's, romantic entanglements with two very differing women (said to allude to Shelley's first and second wives, Harriet Westbrook Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley,) complete with secret passages in a moated, slightly ruined castellated manor. Parody on the work of amateur naturalists, in the form of Mr. Asterious (and his son Aquarius; great names!) has the visitors hunting mermaids among the fens when not partaking of the evening's cigars and madeira. The impenetrability of first-gen transcendentalist thinkers, in the character of Mr. Floskey, based on Immanuel Kant, for instance, are also introduced. Other notable titles in the novels collection include the action-packed Sherwood forest-set "Maid Marion," which undoubtably sets the tenor for later film and television adaptations of a resolute and independent female character." THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK (1875-1866), may be best-remembered as the friend, confidante and literary executor of Percy Bysshe Shelley, and this volume contains his correspondence with the Lake poet. Name-dropped are a host of the Romantic poets, including Coleridge. But Peacock 's unique talents as a poet, essayist, dramatist and comic novelist with a flair for adventure, make his work seem remarkably droll and fresh to this modern eye, similar and yet arguably more comic than his contemporary, Sir Walter Scott.
