ISBN: 9781403965356 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

NATO Renewed: The Power and Purpose of Transatlantic Cooperation
ISBN: 9781403970657 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent controversies in NATO have caused observers to question the Alliance's raison d'etre.

NATO leaders have, in fact, become better at shaping NATO to the strategic environment following a severe crisis in the mid-1990s. At that time, the allies were trying to turn NATO into something it could not be; at present, the allies are on target in their efforts to adapt NATO. NATO Renewed is the story of why NATO's...

Honor in Foreign Policy: A History and Discussion
ISBN: 9781403979728 / Angielski / Twarda / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The usual phrase for the aims of foreign policy from the Peace of Westphalia to 1918 was 'interests and honor.'

This book offers a history and discussion of this, beginning with persons, social organizations, and business corporations, and then telling the story in international politics from the early modern period to the present.
