Towards Illiberal Democracy
ISBN: 9780333613993 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book challenges the view that liberal democracy is the inevitable outcome of economic modernization. Focusing on the stable and prosperous societies of Pacific Asia, it argues that contemporary political arrangements are legitimised by the values of hierarchy, familism and harmony. An arrangement that clearly contrasts with a western understanding of political liberalism and the communicatory democracy it facilitates. Instead of political change resulting from a demand for autonomy by interest groups in civil society, the adoption of democratic practice in Asia ought to be viewed...

ISBN: 9781107038394 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The rise of China, along with problems of governance in democratic countries, has reinvigorated the theory of political meritocracy.

What is the history of political meritocracy and what can it teach us today? How is political meritocracy practiced in contemporary societies in China, Singapore, and elsewhere and what are its advantages and disadvantages in terms of producing just outcomes and contributing to...

The Politics of Affective Relations: East Asia and Beyond
ISBN: 9780739108000 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The Politics of Affective Relations, editors Daniel Bell and Hahm Chaihark refine our understanding of the East Asian conception of the self by examining how that conception was formulated, reproduced, and utilized throughout history. Sparked by a strong dissatisfaction with the state over many discourses regarding East Asian politics, this volume moves beyond the simplistic exchange of polemics regarding 'Asian Values' and reaches a more nuanced understanding of 'relationality.' By bringing together a collection of articles authored by experts in a variety of academic disciplines, Bell...

The Adventures of Fly the Flea
ISBN: 9781519395177 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In his first childrens book, beautifully illustrated by Daniel Gilbert, Michael Bell looks at the subject of bullying. A topic close to his heart; and he talks about how cool it is to be different, and to always be happy in your own skin. Bullying is an area of great concern for many parents, teachers, and people who have any influence on the enquiring mind of young children. It is a subject not to be dismissed lightly, and one which causes a considerable amount of distress. With the animation of "Fly the Flea," Michael Bell brings to life the importance of good mentoring, and confidence...

The Radical Right
ISBN: 9780765807496 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 607 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two vivid sets of images epitomize the dramatic course of the American right in the last quarter of the twentieth century. The main image is of a triumphant President Ronald Reagan, reasonably viewed as the most effec-tive president of recent decades. A second set of images comes from the bombing of a government building in Oklahoma City by Timothy McVeigh, a man linked to shadowy parts of the contemporary ultraright. The roots of Reaganism are conservative, intellectual, and political movements of the 1950s and 1960s, including currents that in those years were considered marginal and...

Shouting at Sleepwalkers
ISBN: 9781548832896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A book of rhythmic verse, prose and satirical song Every age can be said to be unique - but ours is truly unique, because for the first time in human history we are being faced with the reality that there are 'limits to growth', and that our human impact on the natural world upon which we are entirely dependent, is unsustainable. If you don't agree, then consider the following - Take a physical map of the planet printed circa 1850 and compare it to one printed circa 2000. Compare the areas of forest and jungle, desert, and the land area now covered by towns and cities. Compare the global...

The East Asian Challenge for Human Rights
ISBN: 9780521645362 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The "Asian values" argument within the international human rights debate holds that not all Asian states should be expected to protect human rights to the same degree. This position of "cultural relativism," often used by authoritarian governments in Asia to counter charges of human rights violations, has long been dismissed by Western and Asian human rights advocates as a weak excuse. This book moves beyond the politicized rhetoric that has dogged the international debate on human rights to identify the more persuasive contributions by East Asian intellectuals. The editors of this book argue...

A Confucian Constitutional Order: How China's Ancient Past Can Shape Its Political Future
ISBN: 9780691173573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As China continues to transform itself, many assume that the nation will eventually move beyond communism and adopt a Western-style democracy. But could China develop a unique form of government based on its own distinct traditions? Jiang Qing--China's most original, provocative, and controversial Confucian political thinker--says yes. In this book, he sets out a vision for a Confucian constitutional order that offers a compelling alternative to both the status quo in China and to a Western-style liberal democracy. A Confucian Constitutional Order is the most detailed and systematic...

Liftoff: Careers in Satellite, the World's First and Most Successful Space Industry
ISBN: 9781466402522 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is a lot of talk these days about the space business. It may be about new and cheaper ways to launch rockets. Or maybe it's about space planes like SpaceshipOne, spaceports being built in the desert, or space tourism and space hotels. It's all good stuff. But when it comes to real business in space, there is only one: the satellite business. It's the only one that makes money today and has been making money for decades. If the satellite business sounds like an interesting place to start a career, you're in the right place. In the pages of Liftoff, you can learn about the industry, the...
