U.S. Politics and the Global Economy: Corporate Power, Conservative Shift
Ronald W. Cox, Florida International University and Daniel Skidmore-Hess, Georgia Southern University
1999
This thoughtful, highly original book investigates the influence of globalization on ideology and politics in the United States.
Cox and Skidmore-Hess argue that U.S. policy increasingly has been motivated less by anxiety about the independence and stability of the domestic economy and more by worry about factors that might limit the participation of U.S. corporations in international markets. Connecting trends in domestic and foreign policy with the changing needs of industry, they associate increased globalization with the the breakup of the liberal, New Deal coalition; the collapse of the Bretton Woods Agreement in the 1970s; the neoconservative, antiregulatory movements of ...

Families and Communes: An Examination of Nontraditional Lifestyles
William L. Smith, Georgia Southern University
8-27-1999
This book focuses specifically on the role of the family in communal life. Communal groups are one type of nontraditional families, some communes are predisposed to families while others are not and some communal families can be replacements or substitutes for nuclear families. Historic communal groups such as Shakers, Oneida, Amana, and the Mormons are investigated as are contemporary rural and urban communal groups such as Twin Oaks, Jesus People USA, and the Hutterites.
