A political pendulum?
ISBN: 9783844399936 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Public services play an essential role in society, and yet their image is often poor, fed by television programmes such as 'Yes Minister'. Common perceptions include that they have little real merit, do not work hard, are too powerful, are impossible to dismiss, and could benefit from some private sector experience. This study considers how the maligned career service model of public sector employment has evolved. It outlines the traditional model, with its tenets of merit, tenure, standardised conditions and political neutrality, administered by an independent personnel agency. It explores...

Acts of Union and Disunion
ISBN: 9781781251850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The United Kingdom; Great Britain; the British Isles; the Home Nations: such a wealth of different names implies uncertainty and contention - and an ability to invent and adjust. In a year that sees a Scottish referendum on independence, Linda Colley analyses some of the forces that have unified Britain in the past. She examines the mythology of Britishness, and how far - and why - it has faded. She discusses the Acts of Union with Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and their limitations, while scrutinizing England's own fractures. And she demonstrates how the UK has been shaped by movement: of...

The Gun, the Ship and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions and the Making of the Modern World
ISBN: 9781846684975 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Starting not with the United States, but with the Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked to exclude as well as liberate. ...

In Defiance of Oligarchy: The Tory Party 1714-60
ISBN: 9780521313117 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In English history the years between 1714 and 1760 are peculiar in two ways. They have received only scant attention from historians, and they witnessed the exclusion of the tory sector of the nation's landed elite from all central as well as from prime local offices. In this book Linda Colley explores the fate of the tory party which has dominated both Parliament and the constituencies throughout of the reigns of William III and Anne. She refutes any simple identification of the party with cryto-Jacobitism, and explains both the ideological, electoral, and organisational factors which...
