The Myth of Civil Society: Social Capital and Democratic Consolidation in Spain and Brazil
ISBN: 9781403962263 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It argues that it is the performance of political institutions rather than the configuration of civil society that...
