The New Normal: Finding a Balance Between Individual Rights and the Common Good
ISBN: 9781412854771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Amitai Etzioni argues that societies must find a way to balance individual rights and the common good.

Some believe the United States may be unduly short-changing individual rights that need to be better protected. Specifically, should the press be granted more protection?

Hot Spots: American Foreign Policy in a Post-Human-Rights World
ISBN: 9781412849630 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There are important reasons for the distinct yet significant course adjustments in American and Western foreign policy, which is currently focused on the Middle Eastern and Chinese "hot spots." In early 2012, the United States "pivoted" to make the Far East its military and strategic first priority, thereby downgrading the Middle East. This change in priorities has been accompanied by a curtailed military budget and the end of the two-war doctrine. Amitai Etzioni argues that pivoting towards the Far East is premature and flawed in principle. China can and should be treated for the...

From Empire to Community: A New Approach to International Relations
ISBN: 9781403965356 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Whether one favors the U.S. global projection of force or is horrified by it, the question stands - where do we go from here? What ought to be the new global architecture? Amitai Etzioni follows a third way, drawing on both neoconservative and liberal ideas, in this bold new look at international relations. He argues that a "clash of civilizations" can be avoided and that the new world order need not look like America. Eastern values, including spirituality and moderate Islam, have a legitimate place in the evolving global public philosophy. Whether one favors the U.S. global projection of force or is horrified by it, the question stands - where do we go from here? What ought to be the ... |

In this book, Amitai Etzioni, public intellectual and leading proponent of communitarian values, defends the view that no society can flourish without a shared obligation to "the common good."

Amitai Etzioni is one of the most influential social and political thinkers of our day, a man synonymous with the ideas of communitarianism. In this book, Etzioni challenges those who argue that diversity or multiculturalism is about to become the governing American creed.

Thus the book offers a timely discussion of key...
