Today I am wearing earrings: Reflections of a journey through bereavement
ISBN: 9781512123142 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book describes the author's journey into widowhood and uses critical reflection to make sense of the turbulent emotions the death of a spouse can bring. This account is not a 'how to' book. It is in no way intended to suggest a right or a wrong way to grieve. It is perhaps self-indulgent but it was something that the author felt she needed to do to try and make sense of the wildly contrasting emotions she experienced. It is simply a 'warts 'n' all' account of what happened to her before, during and after her husband's death. What it may do is highlight that no death of a loved-one, no...

The achievement of independence in former British colonies in Africa did not mean it was the end of the road for so-called 'mission' schools and hospitals. Far from it.

It is a fascinating story of twists and turns in the life of an expatriate in Africa.

On Definiteness: A Study with Special Reference to English and Finnish
ISBN: 9780521022873 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book proposes a new theory of definiteness in language. It argues that definiteness should be viewed as a cover-term comprising three basic oppositions within the areas of familiarity (locatability), quantity (inclusiveness) and generality (extensivity). Further, the oppositions are not discrete but scalar, and lend themselves to characterization in terms of fuzzy set theory. Dr. Chesterman examines these themes, firstly by drawing on several traditions of research on the rich system of articles in English, and then by looking at how the concept of definiteness is realized in Finnish, a...

From Mercenaries to Market: The Rise and Regulation of Private Military Companies
ISBN: 9780199563890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Frequently characterized as either mercenaries in modern guise or the market's response to a security vacuum, private military companies are commercial firms offering military services ranging from combat and military training and advice to logistical support, and play an increasingly important role in armed conflicts, UN peace operations, and providing security in unstable states.
As private military companies assume more responsibilities in conflict and post-conflict settings, their growing significance raises fundamental questions about their nature, their role in different regions and...

Private Security, Public Order: The Outsourcing of Public Services and Its Limits
ISBN: 9780199574124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Private actors are increasingly taking on roles traditionally arrogated to the state. Both in the industrialized North and the developing South, functions essential to external and internal security and to the satisfaction of basic human needs are routinely contracted out to non-state agents. In the area of privatization of security functions, attention by academics and policy makers tends to focus on the activities of private military and security companies, especially in the context of armed conflicts, and their impact on human rights and post-conflict stability and reconstruction. The...

Citizens Without Rights: Aborigines and Australian Citizenship
ISBN: 9780521597517 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first comprehensive study of the ways in which Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders have been excluded from the rights of Australian citizenship over the past 100 years. Drawing extensively on archival material, the authors look at how the colonies initiated a policy of exclusion that was then replicated by the Commonwealth and State governments following federation. The book includes careful examination of government policies and practice from the 1880s to the 1990s. It argues that there was never any constitutional reason why Aborigines could not be granted full citizenship.

One Nation Under Surveillance: A New Social Contract to Defend Freedom Without Sacrificing Liberty
ISBN: 9780199674954 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What limits, if any, should be placed on a government's efforts to spy on its citizens in the interests of national security? Spying on foreigners has long been regarded as an unseemly but necessary enterprise. Spying on one's own citizens in a democracy, by contrast, has historically been subject to various forms of legal and political restraint. For most of the twentieth century these regimes were kept distinct. That position is no longer tenable. Modern threats do not respect national borders. Changes in technology make it impractical to distinguish between 'foreign' and 'local'...

You, the People: The United Nations, Transitional Administration, and State-Building
ISBN: 9780199284009 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The governance of post-conflict territories embodies a central contradiction: how does one help a population prepare for democratic governance and the rule of law by imposing a form of benevolent autocracy?
Transitional administrations represent the most complex operations attempted by the United Nations. The operations in East Timor and Kosovo are commonly seen as unique in the history of the UN--perhaps never to be repeated. But they may also be seen as the latest in a series of operations that have involved the United Nations in 'state-building' activities, where it has attempted to...

From Community to Compliance?: The Evolution of Monitoring Obligations in ASEAN
ISBN: 9781107490512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the past decade, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has transformed from a periodic meeting of ministers to setting ambitious goals of becoming a Community by 2015. ASEAN is now the most important regional organisation in the history of the continent of Asia. An important tension in this transformation is the question of whether the 'ASEAN way' - defined by consultation and consensus, rather than enforceable obligations - is consistent with the establishment of a community governed by law. This book examines the growing interest in following through on international...
