Birth Order and Political Behavior
ISBN: 9780761801344 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book provides a careful examination of the possible influence of birth order on political achievement and behavior. The authors look at American presidents, Supreme Court justices, United States senators and representatives, and the careers of an entire West Point class. For a comparative dimension, they also study British Prime Ministers, U.N. Secretaries General, post-Renaissance popes, leaders of the U.S.S.R., and great generals through the ages. What the authors find is that there is no measurable relationship between birth order (and being first born) and political achievement and...

The World of Biology and Politics
ISBN: 9781781907283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume describes (a) the present academic and institutional status of Biopolitics and (b) the wide range of research areas that have emerged within the field. The Introduction puts into perspective the major differences and similarities between Biopolitics and more traditional approaches to political science in terms of basic concepts, scope, research methodology, and the resulting implications for public policy. The next two chapters focus on the institutions and organizations that have significantly influenced the structure and direction of the "movement." Chapter 4 describes how and...

The Failure of Democratic Nation Building: Ideology Meets Evolution
ISBN: 9780230621121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Throughout history authoritarian governments have outnumbered democratic ones to an overwhelming degree. Even today, true democracies are an exception. In this book, Somit and Peterson argue that the main reason for this pattern is that humans are social primates with an innate tendency for hierarchical and authoritarian social and political structures. Democracy requires very special 'enabling conditions' before it can be supported by a state, conditions that require decades to evolve. As a result, attempts to export democracy through nation-building to states without these enabling...

Biopolicy: The Life Sciences and Public Policy
ISBN: 9781780528205 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Biology can inform public policy in a number of ways. This volume explores the linkage of the life sciences with policy (what the book refers to as biopolicy). It features two points of departure: the implications of the neurosciences for public policy; and the implications of evolutionary theory for policy-making. The first part of the book provides an introduction to the subject of biopolicy as well as the relevance of the brain sciences and evolutionary theory for this subject. The second part considers several case studies of how these points of departure inform our knowledge of policy....
