ISBN: 9780199684533 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In order to study this, a survey was organized among the members of statewide and substate parliament in...

Reflections on the Constitution (Works of Harold J. Laski): The House of Commons, the Cabinet, the Civil Service
ISBN: 9781138822474 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

If Laski is still important it is more for his pluralist views which counsel against such developments, but these lectures are still of interest in showing how a radical reformer could...
