Review Of Economic Adaptation: Alternatives For Nonmetropolitan Areas By David L. Barkley, Richard L. Meile Oct 1995

Review Of Economic Adaptation: Alternatives For Nonmetropolitan Areas By David L. Barkley, Richard L. Meile

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

The purpose of David L. Barkley's edited work is to examine critically the policy and practice of rural economic development in the United States during the last quarter century. To that end Barkley has brought together leading economists, regional scientists, and several sociologists to review and evaluate the current status of rural economic development.

Many of the contributors to the volume, especially Professors Lobao and Summers, allude to the significance of a globalized economy to development in non-metropolitan areas of the country. The volume shows, to paraphrase Lobao, that strategies focusing on recapitalizing rural communities do not work everywhere or …


Review Of Roadside History Of South Dakota By Linda Hasselstrom, Darrell Napton Oct 1995

Review Of Roadside History Of South Dakota By Linda Hasselstrom, Darrell Napton

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

The best parts of this book are the introductions to South Dakota and to each of the four regions into which Hasselstrom divides the state. In these sixty pages, she distills the state's history and cultural geography. Linda Hasselstrom is one of South Dakota's most accomplished native writers. Her writing is clean and easy to read. She explains what it is to be South Dakotan as only a native could, but retains the ability to step back and see the state objectively.

Intended for an audience of armchair travelers, vacationers, and casual history buffs, the book is organized around four …

Review Of From Columbus To Conagra: The Globalization Of Agriculture And Food, Edited By Allessandro Bonanno, Lawrence Busch, William Frieland, Lourdes Gouveia, And Enzo Mingione, R. Douglas Hurt Oct 1995

Review Of From Columbus To Conagra: The Globalization Of Agriculture And Food, Edited By Allessandro Bonanno, Lawrence Busch, William Frieland, Lourdes Gouveia, And Enzo Mingione, R. Douglas Hurt

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

Despite differing definitions, most scholars agree that the late twentieth century is an age of globalization in agriculture and the food industry. For some, globalization means the elimination of trade barriers; for others it involves the development of international relationships in production and distribution. Globalization, however, is exemplified for all by transnational corporations (TNCs), such as ConAgra, that own and control a variety of world-wide production and distribution systems, thereby controlling millions of workers, manipulating governments, and changing consumption patterns. In contrast to corporations of the past, TNCs essentially exist independently of nation states. Although national and international laws provide …


Review Of Meatpackers And Beef Barons: Company Town In A Global Economy By Carol Andreas, Laura Lacasa Oct 1995

Review Of Meatpackers And Beef Barons: Company Town In A Global Economy By Carol Andreas, Laura Lacasa

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

Lamenting the exploitation of meatpackers at the hands of America's multi-billion dollar beef industry, sociologist Carol Andreas presents a case study of ConAgra, Inc.'s operations in Greeley, Colorado. Andreas asserts that large companies purposely exploit labor to survive in a highly competitive global market. Accordingly, she argues that the u.s. meatpacking industry, epitomized by ConAgra's operations, represents a flawed economic system that fails to offer advantages either to blue-collar workers or their communities.

Review Of Interest Group Politics In The Midwestern States By Ronald J. Hrebenar And Clive S. Thomas, Russell Ross

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

This interesting collection of studies considers as "Midwestern" the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Its nineteen contributors, authorities in state politics and government, achieve an overall consistency among their chapters by adhering to the editors' outline of the volume's subject matter. Although published in 1994, much of the book's research was done in the 1980s.


Review Of Alberta's Local Governments: Politics And Democracy By Jack Masson, Louis A. Knafla Oct 1995

Review Of Alberta's Local Governments: Politics And Democracy By Jack Masson, Louis A. Knafla

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

The authors, of the University of Alberta, have presented here a lengthy examination of democracy and political practice in the province's rural and urban communities, essentially from the 1880s to 1994. In addition to the communities themselves, the authors also examine the relations between municipalities and the provincial government, the growth of greater local self-government, representation and accountability, the territorial decentralization of municipal economic activity, and the recent transfer of the costs of local government from the province to municipalities.

The overriding purpose behind this research is to determine if security assistance training was intended to be a Cold War instrument of foreign policy or if it is an instrument of a more enduring nature. …

The Foundation Of United States Security Assistance To Egypt: 1969-1979, Donald S. Massey

Theses and Dissertations

This study sought to identify the role of U.S. foreign policy in shaping Egypt's transition from Soviet economic and military aid to U.S. security assistance from 1969 to 1979 and the factors shaping that transition. An historical analysis of the Nixon, Ford, and Carter Administrations and their foreign policy towards Egypt and the Middle East during the period in question was employed to complete this study. The researcher determined that U.S. diplomacy and dialogue in negotiating an Egyptian-Israeli peace resulted in the end to Soviet economic and military aid to Egypt. During the negotiating process, U.S. economic and military aid …

Foreign Military Sales Policy Of The Kennedy Presidential Administration, Philip P. Nardi Sep 1995

Foreign Military Sales Policy Of The Kennedy Presidential Administration, Philip P. Nardi

Theses and Dissertations

Since the 'Truman Doctrine' was enunciated in 1947, the United States has pursued its foreign policy objectives using various forms of economic and military assistance. With the majority of this assistance aimed at containing communist expansionism, the United States' allies became increasingly dependent upon large amounts of grant military assistance. As President John F. Kennedy assumed office the economic burden of this grant assistance came under increasing scrutiny. This study analyzes the role of the Kennedy administration in the evolution of military assistance from grants to sales. An in-depth literature review focusing on historical reviews of this topic, and congressional …


United States Security Assistance 1977-1980: Human Rights Issues Affecting Arms Transfers, Gary E. Gordon Sep 1995

United States Security Assistance 1977-1980: Human Rights Issues Affecting Arms Transfers, Gary E. Gordon

Theses and Dissertations

The 1970s were a period of great transition for the United States. Plagued by the Vietnam conflict, a conflict which we could never win because of poor planning and lack of resolve by government officials in the highest office, and the Watergate debacle, where our government veered out of control, the time was ripe for change. Which is precisely why the ideals and philosophies of one James Earl Carter enabled him to ascend to become the 39th President of the United States. President Carter entered office pledging the United States would lead the way in the restriction of weapons exports …


United States Security Assistance To Israel 1967-1979, Lance J. Newbold Sep 1995

United States Security Assistance To Israel 1967-1979, Lance J. Newbold

Theses and Dissertations

U.S.-Israeli relations are unique and unmatched by American relations with any other foreign country. This relationship has been especially important in the area of security assistance, however, it was not until after the Six Day War in 1967, that the United States became the main supplier of arms to Israel. The examination of U.S. foreign policy and its security assistance implications towards Israel from the Six Day War in 1967 through the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1979 are the focus of this study. As a historical study, this research relies on the review of substantial amounts of …
