ISBN: 9780714643861 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legislatures have one core defining function: that of giving assent to measures that, by virtue of that assent, are to be binding on society. In practice, they have usually performed other roles as well, such as debating measures or the conduct of public affairs. They have existed for centuries. They span the globe. Most countries have one; federal states have several. Commentators throughout the 20th century have bemoaned the decline of legislatures, yet the number shows no sign of declining; if anything, the reverse and their prominence has increased in the 1990s because of developments in...

Turkey - Anglo-American Security Interests, 1945-1952 : The First Enlargement of NATO
ISBN: 9780714648552 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first enlargement of NATO in 1952, to include Turkey and Greece, integrated the eastern Mediterranean with west European strategic planning and consolidated the American presence in the region. At the end of the millennium, Turkey's inclusion in NATO seems natural, given Soviet pressure against the country in 1945-46 and its geostrategic position. Yet in the early post-war period this was not a foregone conclusion in the minds of policy-makers in Washington and, particularly, in London, despite Ankara's relentless efforts after 1947 to obtain an American security guarantee.

The Resilience of Democracy: Persistent Practice, Durable Ideas
ISBN: 9780714680262 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If the past is any guide, many of the new Third Wave democracies can be expected to fall by the wayside. Moreover, a significant part of the world's peoples do not enjoy democratic government.

It seeks to establish common themes, whether or not they appear to fit a grand causal theory. It is, after all, the very adaptability of democratic systems that characterizes their...

Knutsen introduces ideas on international relations expressed by thinkers from High Middle Ages to the present day and traces the development of four ever-present themes: war, peace, wealth and power.
