Rights vs. Public Safety After 9/11: America in the Age of Terrorism
ISBN: 9780742527546 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the tension between civil rights and public safety has dominated public discourse. On issues ranging from racial profiling to military tribunals, Americans have had to ask whether it is possible for the United States to defend itself against terrorism without violating the values and principles that lie at the heart of its democratic order. In Rights vs. Public Safety after 9/11, some of the nation's leading legal experts and social critics confront this question head-on. The contributors offer measured, often communitarian, approaches to topics such...

The Limits of Privacy
ISBN: 9780465040902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Privacy is perhaps the most hallowed of American rights--and most people are concerned that new technologies available to governments and corporations threaten to erode this most privileged of rights. But in The Limits of Privacy, Amitai Etzioni offers a decidedly different point of view, in which the right to privacy is balanced against concern for public safety and health. Etzioni looks at five flashpoint issues: Megan's Laws, HIV testing of infants, deciphering of encrypted messages, national identification cards, and medical records, and concludes that there are times when Amricans'...

Hot Spots: American Foreign Policy in a Post-Human-Rights World
ISBN: 9781412855068 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 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 currently focuses on 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. With a new preface by the author, Hot Spots argues that turning toward the Far East is premature and flawed in principle. China can and should be treated...

ISBN: 9780300143072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Rarely have more profound changes in American foreign policy been called for than today," begins Amitai Etzioni in the preface to this book. Yet Etzioni's concern is not to lay blame for past mistakes but to address the future: What can now be done to improve U.S. relations with the rest of the world?
What should American policies be toward recently liberated countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, or rogue states like North Korea and Iran? When should the United States undertake humanitarian intervention abroad? What must be done to protect America from nuclear terrorism? The author...

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.

Are we morally obliged to do more for our communities beyond treating everyone as endowed with basic rights? Should privacy...

Essays in Socio-Economics
ISBN: 9783642084157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. These essays deal with various aspects of a new, rising field, socio- economics. The field is seeking to combine the variables studied by neoclassical economists with those typically studied by other social sciences. The combination is expected to provide a better understanding of economic behavior and the economy as well as society; make more reliable predictions; and be more in line with normative values we seek to uphold. The new field, though, may be less elegant mathematically and possibly less parsimonious than neoclassical economics. Some of my ideas on this subject are included in a...

Political Unification Revisited: On Building Supranational Communities
ISBN: 9780739102732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can independent nations unify politically? Amitai Etzioni raised this searching question in his seminal 1965 book, Political Unification: A Comparative Study of Leaders and Forces. In this revised edition now with an extensive new introduction Etzioni convincingly argues that the experiment of collective self-determination is the only viable replacement for a perilously overloaded international system. This fascinating work debates the limitations of informal networks of governance, transnational agencies and cross-nation bonding including the grand experiment of the European Union to argue...

How Patriotic Is the Patriot Act?: Freedom Versus Security in the Age of Terrorism
ISBN: 9780415950473 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In his most recent State of the Union Address, President Bush called upon Congress to enact legislation that would extend the time-limited provisions of the controversial anti-terror law known as the Patriot Act (they are scheduled to expire on December 31st, 2005). Championed by Attorney General John Ashcroft and approved by Congress in the fearful aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Patriot Act has been cast by its critics as the greatest threat to our civil liberties since the Alien and Sedition Acts or the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War. In this short book,...

In response to remarks made by Donald Trump's secretary of state, China's state-run newspaper Global Times asserted, -Unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the disputed] islands will be foolish.- Some experts contend that conflict is inevitable when an established power does not make sufficient room for a rising power.
