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. This work remains of interest to anyone concerned with Britain's political institutions and how they might be reformed.

And they all unfold against the gripping, uncertain domestic backdrop of Labor Party infighting, plummeting polls, and a leadership change from Gillard back to Rudd....

Parliaments and Citizens
ISBN: 9781138850484 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Furthermore, this relationship has gained considerable visibility over the last decade thanks in part to the development of new media, but also as a reaction to the trends of political apathy. In a context of increasing political disengagement, parliamentary discourse shifted attention from the traditionally predominant relationship with government to the relationship with...
