Comparative Union Democracy: Organization and Opposition in British and American Unions
ISBN: 9780878556236 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A major empirical study of thirty-one British and fifty-one American national trade unions provides the background to this presentation of a new, organizationally oriented theory of union democracy. Supported by in-depth studies of the political process in the British Mineworkers' Union and the Engineers' Union, the book develops and illustrates a general theory of how, in a country with democratic norms, formal organization itself can constrain a tendency toward oligarchy by stimulating union competition among full-time officers attempting to rise in the union hierarchy. The broad...

Occupational Hazards
ISBN: 9780801476242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Few would contest that the U.S. occupation of Iraq is a clear example of just how fraught a military occupation can become. In Occupational Hazards, David M. Edelstein elucidates the occasional successes of military occupations and their more frequent failures. Edelstein has identified twenty-six cases since 1815 in which an outside power seized control of a territory where the occupying party had no long-term claim on sovereignty. In a book that has implications for present-day policy, he draws evidence from such historical cases as well as from four current occupations...

Radon's Deadly Daughters: Science, Environmental Policy, and the Politics of Risk
ISBN: 9780847683345 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Five years after Three Mile Island awakened Americans to the dread of radioactive release, a new and potentially more consequential radioactive threat was discovered in a Pennsylvania home. Touted as the second major cause of lung cancer, the radon problem was prominent as a leading environmental risk. However, widespread acceptance of this risk has never materialized. In this vibrant account, Edelstein and Makofske unveil the complex mix of social and scientific factors that have led to public and official misunderstanding of the geologic radon issue. The lessons of radon have great...

The French Revolution and the Birth of Electoral Democracy
ISBN: 9781409454717 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Democracy is perhaps the defining characteristic of modern Western society, but even as late as the nineteenth century it was often viewed with suspicion by many who saw it as akin to anarchy and mob rule. It was not until the French and American revolutions of the eighteenth century that electoral democracy began to gain momentum as a serious force, which was eventually to shape political discourse on a broad, international scale. Taking as its focus the French Revolution, this book explores how the experience in France influenced the emergence of electoral democracy, arguing - contrary to...
