ISBN: 9780415659505 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

What is missing from these debates is a comprehensive analysis of groups as both agents and objects of social policies. While this has been subject to much scrutiny by sociologists and social psychologists, it has received less attention from a normative and philosophical...
