ISBN: 9780812245806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although referendums have been used for centuries to settle ethnonational conflicts, there has yet been no systematic study or generalized theory concerning their effectiveness.

Since the dawn of philosophy, the world's great thinkers have been unable to resist the lure of applying their formidable brains not only to the meaning of life, but also to the meaning of coffee, trapped wind or efficient boiler installation. ...
