ref. B9780755601011Paperback / softback. New. 'For those of us who have to live with terrorism when we leave home in the morning there is no guarantee that we will come back.' Thus Lakshman Kadirgamar Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister foreshadowed his own assassination in 2005. He was an astute and brave thinker and practitioner on many key issues in international politics. Long before 9/11 he warned Western democracies that they were too passive about the activities on their soil of foreign terrorist movements and their front organizations. He was a strong advocate of democracy and human rights conducting the first-ever Amnesty investigation into the problems of a particular country - Vietnam. He was uniquely effective in countering the propaganda campaigns of the separatist Tamil Tigers in his native Sri Lanka - the movement which ultimately took his life. This definitive work explores the continuing relevance of his ideas for the modern world. Democracy Sovereignty and Terror presents Kadirgamar's distinctive voice in his major speeches. It also offers a convincing picture by those who knew him of a scholar-statesman who was both a realist and an idealist. He showed that these approaches can be combined in both thought and action. paperback

ref. B9780755649006Paperback / softback. New. While a positive correlation between capitalism and democracy has existed in Western Europe and North America the example of late-industrializing nations such as Turkey has demonstrated that the two need not always go hand in hand and sometimes the interests of business coincide more firmly with anti-democratic forces. This book explores the factors that compelled capitalists in Turkey to adopt a more pro-democratic ideology by examining a leading Turkish business lobby TÜSIAD which has been pushing for democratic reform since the 1990s despite representing some of the largest corporation owners in Turkey and having supported the state’s authoritarian tendencies in the past such as the military coup of 1980. Drawing on roughly 70 interviews with influential members of TÜSIAD and individuals close to them the book reveals that business leaders were willing to break away from the state due to the conflict between their evolving economic needs and power with a political elite and state that were unwilling to cater to their demands. In so doing the book provides a rich account of business-state relations in Turkey as well as providing a case study for the wider study of democracy and capitalism in developing nations. paperback
