Civil Society and Corruption: Mobilizing for Reform
ISBN: 9780761831259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Strong civil societies play a major role in controlling corruption in many societies, and reformers agree that citizens, both individual and organized, should be involved in reform. But accomplishing that goal has proven difficult. Some civil societies are weak, divided, and impoverished. In others, undemocratic regimes dominate through intimidation. And in still others, development difficulties, international debt, and misguided aid efforts stop reform before it can begin. Too often, anti-corruption campaigns do not engage social values or attack corruption as people experience it every day....

Down and Out on the Family Farm: Rural Rehabilitation in the Great Plains, 1929-1945
ISBN: 9780803271050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on the Great Plains states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota between 1929 and 1945, Down and Out on the Family Farm examines small family farmers and the Rural Rehabilitation Program designed to help them. Historian Michael Johnston Grant reveals the tension between economic forces that favored large-scale agriculture and political pressure that championed family farms, and the results of that clash. The Great Depression and the drought of the 1930s lay bare the long-term economic instability of the rural Plains. The New Deal introduced the Rural Rehabilitation...

ISBN: 9781501524806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England
ISBN: 9780199679782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England offers a new history of Middle English romance, the most popular genre of secular literature in the English Middle Ages. Michael Johnston argues that many of the romances composed in England from 1350-1500 arose in response to the specific socio-economic concerns of the gentry, the class of English landowners who lacked titles of nobility and hence occupied the lower rungs of the aristocracy. The end of the fourteenth century in England witnessed power devolving to the gentry, who became one of the dominant political and economic forces...

Syndromes of Corruption: Wealth, Power, and Democracy
ISBN: 9780521618595 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Corruption is a threat to democracy and economic development in many societies. It arises in the ways people pursue, use and exchange wealth and power, and in the strength or weakness of the state, political and social institutions that sustain and restrain those processes. Differences in these factors, Michael Johnston argues, give rise to four major syndromes of corruption: Influence Markets, Elite Cartels, Oligarchs and Clans, and Official Moguls. Johnston uses statistical measures to identify societies in each group, and case studies to show that the expected syndromes do arise.
