This second volume of Spy Chiefs goes beyond the commonly studied spy chiefs of the United States and the United Kingdom to examine...

Tang Junyi's modern Confucianism ranks among the most ambitious philosophical projects in 20th century China.

The present study fundamentally questions widespread interpretations that depict modern Confucianism as essentially traditionalist and nationalistic. Thomas Frohlich shows...

ISBN: 9780231156899 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Moltz isolates the domestic motivations driving Asia's space actors, revisiting critical events such as China's 2007 antisatellite... In contrast to the close cooperation practiced among European states, space relations among Asian states have become increasingly tense. If current tr...
