The Strong Arm of the Law: Armed and Public Order Policing
ISBN: 9780198273592 / Angielski / Twarda / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Have the British abandoned their commitment to "policing by consent?" The sight of armed and riot police on the streets has led to this question being asked repeatedly over the past decade. However, the secrecy that has surrounded the policy governing armed and public order policing has previously made this topic one of speculation rather than an informed debate. During his three years' extensive research into the Metropolitan Police, P.A.J. Waddington was given unprecedented access to the hitherto secret world of armed and riot policing. Here he provides a detailed description of police...

One of the great scholars of International Relations, Hedley Bull worked within a tradition of political thought which derives from Hobbes, Hume, Grotius, and the natural lawyers.

Thinkers of the Twenty Years' Crisis: Inter-War Idealism Reassessed
ISBN: 9780198278559 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reassesses the contribution to international thought of some of the most important thinkers of the inter-war period. It takes as its starting point E.H. Carr's famous critique which, more than any other work, established the reputation of the period as the "utopian" or "idealist" phase of international relations theorizing. This characterization of inter-war thought is scrutinized through ten detailed studies of such writers as Norman Angell, J.A. Hobson, J.M. Keynes, David Mitrany, and Alfred Zimmern. The studies demonstrate the diversity of perspectives within so-called "idealism"...

ISBN: 9780198280125 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ambiguity and Deterrence focuses on the role of competing strategic beliefs in the formulation of British nuclear strategy between 1945 and 1964. Based on recently released documents, it is argued that the British approach to nuclear weapons during this formative period was characterized by paradox and ambiguity. The paradox was that while there was a widespread consensus in political and military circles in favour of nuclear deterrence, there were constant disagreements over the requirements of an effective deterrent policy. These disagreements centred on six main questions: whether...
