ISBN: 9780195390964 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Casualty Gap shows how the most important cost of American military campaigns--the loss of human life--has been paid disproportionately by poorer and less-educated communities since the 1950s. Drawing on a rich array of evidence, including National Archives data on the hometowns of more than 400,000 American soldiers killed in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, this book is the most ambitious inquiry to date into the distribution of American wartime casualties across the nation, the forces causing such inequalities to emerge, and their consequences for politics and...

The Particularistic President: Executive Branch Politics and Political Inequality
ISBN: 9781107616813 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As the holders of the only office elected by the entire nation, presidents have long claimed to be sole stewards of the interests of all Americans. Scholars have largely agreed, positing the president as an important counterbalance to the parochial impulses of members of Congress. This supposed fact is often invoked in arguments for concentrating greater power in the executive branch. Douglas L. Kriner and Andrew Reeves challenge this notion and, through an examination of a diverse range of policies from disaster declarations, to base closings, to the allocation of federal spending, show that...

Investigating the President: Congressional Checks on Presidential Power
ISBN: 9780691171869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although congressional investigations have provided some of the most dramatic moments in American political history, they have often been dismissed as mere political theater. But these investigations are far more than grandstanding. Investigating the President shows that congressional investigations are a powerful tool for members of Congress to counter presidential aggrandizement.
