Tocqueville's Nightmare: The Administrative State Emerges in America, 1900-1940
ISBN: 9780199920860 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1830s, the French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville warned that "insufferable despotism" would prevail if America ever acquired a national administrative state. Today's Tea Partiers evidently believe that, after a great wrong turn in the early twentieth century, Tocqueville's nightmare has come true. In those years, it seems, a group of radicals, seduced by alien ideologies, created vast bureaucracies that continue to trample on individual freedom. In Tocqueville's Nightmare, Daniel R. Ernst destroys this ahistorical and simplistic narrative. He shows that, in fact, the...

Devolution and Identity
ISBN: 9780754644798 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The additional inclusion of a US perspective allows parallels with American federalism to be drawn out. Informed by a discursive/textual/communication approach to identity, Devolution and Identity offers a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives,...

Relations among major political factions broke down in late 2011-a development that, when coupled with spillover from increasingly sectarian conflict in Syria, threatens Iraq's stability, its ability to balance its relations with both Tehran and Washington and the achievements of the long U.S. intervention in Iraq.

European Public Leadership in Crisis?
ISBN: 9781783509010 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780415748667 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

While some countries quickly democratize, others lag behind despite a long period of democracy promotion activities. Furthermore, while democracy promotion itself has been widely studied, there is a paucity of literature available assessing the outcome or the impact of democracy promotion. This book investigates democracy promotion by the European Union and the United States of America, and seeks to uncover why intensive democracy promotion has...

This is particularly true when emotional reactions coincide with attributing blame to governmental agencies or officials.
