ISBN: 9780195066104 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work provides a sweeping historical analysis of the political development of Western Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Arguing that the evolution of most Western European nations into liberal democracies, social democracies, or fascist regimes was attributable to a discrete set of social class alliances, the author explores the origins and outcomes of the political development in the individual nations. In Britain, France, and Switzerland, countries with a unified middle class, liberal forces established political hegemony before World War I. By coopting...

The Apartheid State in Crisis: Political Transformation of South Africa, 1975-1990
ISBN: 9780195067507 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite the considerable attention paid to South Africa in recent years, this text is unique in providing a comprehensive analysis of South Africa's politics through the 1980's. Robert Price argues that the apparent stability of South Africa's apartheid regime has masked a profound political transformation underway since 1975. The work examines how government policy, economic development, domestic opposition, and international actors have gradually but inexorably eroded the foundation of white political power. Price elucidates the dynamic relationship between these factors and their combined...

The Politics of Individualism: Parties and the American Character in the Jacksonian Era
ISBN: 9780195067811 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the fifty years following the Revolution, America's population nearly quadrupled, its boundaries expanded, industrialization took root in the Northeast, new modes of transportation flourished, state banks proliferated and offered easy credit to eager entrepreneurs, and Americans found themselves in the midst of an accelerating age of individualism, equality, and self-reliance. To the Jacksonian generation, it seemed as if their world had changed practically overnight. The Politics of Individualism looks at the political manifestations of these staggering social transformations....

ISBN: 9780195067910 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These extended essays by one of the preeminent scholars in U.S. labor history discuss central questions in the field, from the colonial period to the present: What do the first demands for a fixed workday tell us about how early American workers experienced the beginnings of the industrial revolution? Why did American labor politics never manage to break the grip of the two-party system? What was the impact of ideology, career leadership, and ethnicity on the American labor movement? How did American trade unionism cope with the market-drive forces of American capitalism? Why did so great a...

The Ambassadors and America's Soviet Policy
ISBN: 9780195068023 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. George Kennan, Charles Bohlen, W. Averell Harriman, William Bullitt, Joseph E. Davies, Llewlleyn Thompson, Jack Matlock: these are important names in the history of American foreign policy. Together with a number of lesser-known officials, these diplomats played a vital role in shaping U.S. strategy and popular attitudes toward the Soviet Union throughout its 75-year history.

Absolutism and Ruling Class: The Formation of the Russian Political Order 1700-1825
ISBN: 9780195068054 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive examination of the Russian ruling elite and its political institutions during an important period of state building, from the emergence of Russia on the stage of world politics around 1700 to the consolidation of its position after the victory over Napoleon. Instead of focusing on the great rulers of the period--Peter, Catherine, and Alexander--the work examines the nobility which alone could make their power effective. LeDonne not only gives a full chronological account of the development of bureaucratic, military, economic, and political institutions in...

Altered States: The United States and Japan Since the Occupation
ISBN: 9780195069167 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The relationship between the United States and Japan is torn by contrary impulses. We face each other across the Pacific as friends and allies, as the two most powerful economies in the world--and as suspicious rivals. Americans admire the industry of the Japanese, but we resent the huge trade deficit that has developed between us, due to what we consider to be unfair trade practices and "unlevel playing fields." Now, in Altered States, historian Michael Schaller strips away the stereotypes and misinformation clouding American perceptions of Japan, providing the historical background that...

America's Secret Power: The CIA in a Democratic Society
ISBN: 9780195069440 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Based on hundreds of interviews with CIA officials, national security experts, and legislators, as well as a thorough culling of the archival record, America's Secret Power offers an illuminating and up-to-date picture of the CIA, stressing the difficult balance between the genuine needs of national security and the protection of individual liberties. Loch Johnson, who has studied the workings of the CIA at first hand as a legislative overseer, presents a comprehensive examination of the Agency and its relations with other American institutions, including Congress and the White House, and...

Equality and Partiality
ISBN: 9780195069679 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Derived from Thomas Nagel's Locke Lectures, Equality and Partiality proposes a nonutopian account of political legitimacy, based on the need to accommodate both personal and impersonal motives in any credible moral theory, and therefore in any political theory with a moral foundation. Within each individual, Nagel believes, there is a division between two standpoints, the personal and the impersonal. Without the impersonal standpoint, there would be no morality, only the clash, compromise, and occasional convergence of individual perspectives. It is because a human being does not...

The Constitution as Political Structure
ISBN: 9780195070606 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the last forty years modern constitutional scholarship has concentrated on an analysis of rights, while principles of constitutional law concerning the structure of government have been largely downplayed. The irony of this interpretive emphasis is that the body of the Constitution contains relatively little dealing directly with rights. Rather, it is primarily a blueprint for the establishment of a complex form of federal-democratic structure. This work emphasizes the central role served by the structural portions of the Constitution. Redish argues that these structural values were...

The Foundations of American Citizenship: Liberalism, the Constitution, and Civic Virtue
ISBN: 9780195070675 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study of exemplary writings from the debates over the ratification of the 1787 Constitution deals with the American constitutional founders' understandings of citizenship and civic virtue. Discussion of these debates is set in an analytical and historical context, addressing the rationales for and the nature of civic allegiance in liberal political regimes. Sinopoli analyzes the development of a distinctly liberal political psychology from its origins in John Locke, Adam Smith, and David Hume through the American founding and traces its implications for the current American polity.

Constitutionalism and Democracy: Transitions in the Contemporary World
ISBN: 9780195071078 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The political changes which have occurred in the last three years have been phenomenal--the dissolving of the former Soviet Union, the impending union of Western Europe, and the evolution of democracy in Eastern Europe. What changes have occurred in the legal structure of these countries? How have their constitutions been affected by these developments? Stanley Katz, Douglas Greenberg, and other scholars and politicians from numerous countries discuss in this work the experiences of constitutionalism. Previously, little work has been done in this field, but now Constitutionalism and...

King Hussein and the Challenge of Arab Radicalism: Jordan, 1955-1967
ISBN: 9780195071344 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the young Hussein became the King of Jordan in 1953, conventional wisdom held that his days were numbered. As the embodiment of the socially conservative, pro-Western Jordanian state, he seemed little able to stand up to the rising forces of pan-Arab radicalism. Yet Hussein and the Jordanian monarchy have not only endured, they have thrived, and continue to play a vital role in Middle Eastern politics. Historian Uriel Dann here explores the political history of the formative years of the Jordanian state, uncovering the sources of its durability against forces seeking to fundamentally...

This book brings together a set of essays exploring the implications of new technologies in the workplace. The common premise of the contributions is that the effective implementation of automation in manufacturing and engineering operations will typically require a workforce with a higher skill profile. Examining the experience of countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the U.S., the book analyzes four themes: the new competencies required for effective implementation of new technologies; how firms can develop these new competencies; the implications of these changes for industrial...

Alternative Paths: Soviets and Americans, 1917-1920
ISBN: 9780195071870 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Between 1917 and 1920--from the Bolshevik Revolution to the definitive statement of American opposition to Bolshevik Russia--Soviets and Americans searched for ways to effect meaningful interactions between their two nations in the absence of formal diplomatic relations. During these years, wide-ranging discussions occurred on a variety of serious issues, from military collaboration and economic relations to the comprehensive settlement of political and military disputes. At the same time, extensive debates took place in both countries about the nature of the relations between them. As...

Beyond Individualism: Reconstituting the Liberal Self
ISBN: 9780195073300 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the examination of the conception of human nature, a duality is commonly perceived--the liberal self as atomistic, self-contained, even selfish; and the communitarian self as socially situated and defined through its environment. Crittenden argues that neither view is acceptable, drawing on recent psychological research to expound on a theory of "compound individuality." This work includes a discussion of the compound individual as the self of liberalism, as well as a discussion of the sort of political organization that can generate personal identity constituted by liberal autonomy and...

The Politics of National Security: Congress and U.S. Defense Policy
ISBN: 9780195077056 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the past twenty years, a revolution has occurred in relations between the American executive and legislative branches. Once a passive observer of the President's decisions on defense policy, the Congress has assumed a more aggressive role in decisions on the defense budget, arms control, war powers, sales of weapons abroad, and covert operations. Based on interviews with members of Congress and their staffs, The Politics of National Security describes and analyzes this fundamental change in the United States political system, concentrating on the political factors behind the...
