Where Now for New Labour?
ISBN: 9780745629919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. New Labour is back in power - where now? What should the party's agenda be? How should the centre-left react to a changed external world marked by economic downturn, protests against globalization and an unstable international order?
Anthony Giddens argues that to answer these questions, and assess the progress Labour has made, we must take a comparative perspective. Breaking with the insularity that has marked much political debate in the UK, Giddens draws extensively on the experience of social democrats in other countries. All centre-left parties...

ISBN: 9780804719445 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modernity differs from all preceding forms of social order because of its dynamism, its deep undercutting of traditional habits and customs, and its global impact. It also radicallly alters the general nature of daily life and the most personal aspects of human activity. In fact, one of the most distinctive features of modernity is the increasing interconnection between globalizing influences and personal dispositions. The author analyzes the nature of this interconnection and provides a conceptual vocabulary for it, in the process providing a major rethinking of the nature of modernity and a...

The Progressive Manifesto: New Ideas for the Centre-Left
ISBN: 9780745632957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book seeks to develop a new agenda for the centre-left. During the 1990's, left of centre governments or coalitions came into power in the US, many of the European Union countries, and in societies elsewhere too. The modernisation of social democracy was crucial to these successes - all centre-left parties that came to power revised and updated their traditional doctrines. Recent years have seen the widespread return of the right to power, coupled to the prominence of far right parties in many countries.

The Third Way
ISBN: 9780745622675 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.

In Defence of Sociology: Essays, Interpretations and Rejoinders
ISBN: 9780745617626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is there a future for sociology? To many, sociology seems to have lost its way. Born of the ideas of Auguste Comte in the nineteenth century, sociology established itself as 'the science of modernity', linked to a progressive view of history. Yet today the idea of progress has more or less collapsed; with its demise, some say, sociological thought has moved to the margins of contemporary intellectual culture.
In this book the author challenges such an interpretation, showing that sociology continues to hold a central position within the social sciences. Looking both to the past...

A "United States of Europe," Winston Churchill proposed in 1946, could "as if by a miracle transform" that "turbulent and mighty continent." "In this way only," he continued, "will hundreds of millions of toilers be able to regain the simple joys and hopes which make life worth living." Today, nearly seventy years later, over 500 million people live in the member states of the European Union - a greater number than in any other political community save for China and India. The currency of the Union, the euro, is used... Winner of the 2014 European Book Prize.

Transformation of Intimacy: Sexuality, Love, and Eroticism in Modern Societies
ISBN: 9780804722148 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The sexual revolution: an evocative term, but what meaning can be given to it today? How does "sexuality" come into being, and what connections does it have with the changes that have affected personal life more generally? In answering these questions, the author disputes many of the dominant interpretations of the role of sexuality in modern culture. The author suggests that the revolutionary changes in which sexuality has become cauth up are more long-term than generally conceded. He sees them as intrinsic to the development of modern societies as a whole and to the broad characteristics of...
