ISBN: 9780198273387 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this highly original and important book, the author analyzes one of the fundamental questions of international relations: what causes war? Drawing on historical, statistical, and philosophical perspectives to produce an innovative theory, the author rejects the simplistic notion that war can be explained by some straightforward formula, yet demonstrates that there are basic similarities among the diverse origins of wars.

The Strong Arm of the Law: Armed and Public Order Policing
ISBN: 9780198273592 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 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...

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.

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...
