Hong Kong Public Budgeting: Historical and Comparative Analyses (Hong Kong Studies Reader Series) by Brian C. H. Fong
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 9.5 MB
Overview: “This book is a treasure. It illustrates the uniqueness of the Hong Kong budgetary system, but more importantly, convincingly places it in a comparative context— a distinctive case of territorial autonomy. The book is a must-have for the classroom adoption of any teaching related to Hong Kong politics or budgetary system.”

—Professor Wang Xiaohu, City University of Hong Kong

“What adds value to the book is its historical-comparative analysis of budget openness, oversight institutions and practices, and deficit/surplus politics as observed in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, in the perspective of territorial autonomy. Breaking new ground in understanding some trends and issues, and making reference to the latest international studies and methodologies, this book is theoretically vigorous and of relevance to the worldwide research in comparative budgeting as well.”

Tears, Fire, and Blood: The United States and the Decolonization of Africa by James H. Meriwether
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: In the mid-twentieth century, the struggle against colonial rule fundamentally reshaped the world and the lives of the majority of the world’s population. Decolonization, Black and Brown freedom movements, the establishment of the United Nations and NATO, an exploding Cold War, a burgeoning world human rights movement, all became part of the dramatic events that swept through Africa at a furious pace, with fifty nations gaining independence in roughly fifty years. Meanwhile, the United States emerged as the most powerful and influential nation in the world, with the ability—politically, economically, militarily—and principles to help or hinder the transformation of the African continent.

Tears, Fire, and Blood offers a sweeping history of how the United States responded to decolonization in Africa. James H. Meriwether explores how Washington, grappling with national security interests and racial prejudices, veered between strengthening African nationalist movements seeking majority rule and independence and bolstering anticommunist European allies seeking to maintain white rule. Events in Africa helped propel the Black freedom struggle around the world and ultimately forced the United States to confront its support for national ideals abroad as it fought over how to achieve equality at home.
