Beyond Gridlock
ISBN: 9781509515721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The Gridlock authors have now...It is now conventional wisdom to see the great policy challenges of the 21st century as inherently transnational. It is equally common to note the ... |

Part I assesses the traditional conceptions of democracy. Part II...
