Hot Spots: American Foreign Policy in a Post-Human-Rights World
ISBN: 9781412855068 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There are important reasons for the distinct yet significant course adjustments in American and Western foreign policy, which currently focuses on Middle Eastern and Chinese "hot spots." In early 2012, the United States "pivoted" to make the Far East its military and strategic first priority, thereby downgrading the Middle East. This change in priorities has been accompanied by a curtailed military budget and the end of the two-war doctrine. With a new preface by the author, Hot Spots argues that turning toward the Far East is premature and flawed in principle. China can and should be treated...

ISBN: 9780300143072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Rarely have more profound changes in American foreign policy been called for than today," begins Amitai Etzioni in the preface to this book. Yet Etzioni's concern is not to lay blame for past mistakes but to address the future: What can now be done to improve U.S. relations with the rest of the world?
What should American policies be toward recently liberated countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, or rogue states like North Korea and Iran? When should the United States undertake humanitarian intervention abroad? What must be done to protect America from nuclear terrorism? The author...

Common Good: Afterlives and Borrowings
ISBN: 9780745632674 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this book, Amitai Etzioni, public intellectual and leading proponent of communitarian values, defends the view that no society can flourish without a shared obligation to "the common good." Rejecting claims made by some liberal thinkers that it is not possible to balance individual rights with uncoerced civic responsibility, Etzioni explores a number of key issues which pose important questions for those concerned with promoting the common good in contemporary society. Are we morally obliged to do more for our communities beyond treating everyone as endowed with basic rights? Should...

The Monochrome Society
ISBN: 9780691114576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Amitai Etzioni is one of the most influential social and political thinkers of our day, a man synonymous with the ideas of communitarianism. In this book, Etzioni challenges those who argue that diversity or multiculturalism is about to become the governing American creed. On the surface, America may seem like a fractured mosaic, but the country is in reality far more socially monochromatic and united than most observers have claimed. In the first chapter, Etzioni presents a great deal of evidence that Americans, whites and African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans, new...

Essays in Socio-Economics
ISBN: 9783642084157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. These essays deal with various aspects of a new, rising field, socio- economics. The field is seeking to combine the variables studied by neoclassical economists with those typically studied by other social sciences. The combination is expected to provide a better understanding of economic behavior and the economy as well as society; make more reliable predictions; and be more in line with normative values we seek to uphold. The new field, though, may be less elegant mathematically and possibly less parsimonious than neoclassical economics. Some of my ideas on this subject are included in a...

Rights vs. Public Safety After 9/11: America in the Age of Terrorism
ISBN: 9780742527546 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the tension between civil rights and public safety has dominated public discourse. On issues ranging from racial profiling to military tribunals, Americans have had to ask whether it is possible for the United States to defend itself against terrorism without violating the values and principles that lie at the heart of its democratic order. In Rights vs. Public Safety after 9/11, some of the nation's leading legal experts and social critics confront this question head-on. The contributors offer measured, often communitarian, approaches to topics such...

The Limits of Privacy
ISBN: 9780465040902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Privacy is perhaps the most hallowed of American rights--and most people are concerned that new technologies available to governments and corporations threaten to erode this most privileged of rights. But in The Limits of Privacy, Amitai Etzioni offers a decidedly different point of view, in which the right to privacy is balanced against concern for public safety and health. Etzioni looks at five flashpoint issues: Megan's Laws, HIV testing of infants, deciphering of encrypted messages, national identification cards, and medical records, and concludes that there are times when Amricans'...

In response to remarks made by Donald Trump's secretary of state, China's state-run newspaper Global Times asserted, -Unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the disputed] islands will be foolish.- Some experts contend that conflict is inevitable when an established power does not make sufficient room for a rising power.

ISBN: 9781412854771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Amitai Etzioni argues that societies must find a way to balance individual rights and the common good. This point of balance may change as new technologies develop, the natural and international environments change, and new social forces arise. Some believe the United States may be unduly short-changing individual rights that need to be better protected. Specifically, should the press be granted more protection? Or should its ability to publish state secrets be limited? Should surveillance of Americans and others be curtailed? Should American terrorists be treated differently...

ISBN: 9780745610689 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Designed as a textbook for courses in political theory, political sociology and comparative politics, and as a contribution in its own right, this book explores the role of elite relations as a key to understanding democracy.
Following a critical review of the literature on classes, democracy and elites, the author argues that although Western democracy is not governed by the people' and has not created equality, it is unique in that (more than any other regime) it has generated a relative separation of power holders, or a relative autonomy of elites and sub-elites in the...
