ISBN: 9781496095435 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I decided to write this book when my brother-in-law who was Colonel Navigator on USAF Number 1, the US President's Personal Transport Aircraft, sent me an email summarizing the many things going wrong in Washington, such as the inability to pass a much needed Gun Law. Congressmen are citing the US Constitution as reasons the law cannot be passed. Also Congress is preventing the President from doing his required executive functions because of their brinkmanship in approving Financial Matters needed for the US Government to function properly. During my quarter of a century of options trading, I...

Reinventing Indonesia presents an insider's view of the tumultuous transition that took place in Indonesia from 1997 to 2004. This was a period of unprecedented changes in democratized governance and decentralizing power throughout the country amidst significant economic turmoil.

ISBN: 9781496121608 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. America is a divided nation. There is the Uber-Left, the Tea Party, the Environmentalists, the Moderates, the Right Wingers as well as a host of other groups. Divide and conquer has been the mantra.

A Time for Integrity: - The US Congress has become corrupt, with insider trading, extortion and misuse of campaign funds, setting earmarks,
ISBN: 9781496134370 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The US Congress has become dysfunctional and corrupt. It is rife with unethical practices, and the two major parties work together in resisting any efforts for reform or transparency. Even Members who don't engage in these practices or condone them are far too lax in their efforts to eliminate them. This book is focused on examining these specific questionable practices and ethical issues. It is not about the political issues of the day, such as the Affordable Care Act, immigration, tax reform, or foreign affairs. Nor is it about the processes and procedures, such as cloture votes,...

In 2009 the US House of Representatives passed legislation requiring reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent over the coming decade. Later that year, President Obama went to Copenhagen to sign a treaty requiring reductions by 50 percent over a two-decade period. The President came back with nothing: no firm commitment to reduce emissions and only a vague target to hold global temperature rises to under 2C. How does a President who has a 75-vote majority in the House and a 19-vote majority in the Senate-who has pre-approval for a treaty reducing greenhouse gas production by 18...

Understanding Statebuilding: Traditional Governance and the Modern State in Somaliland
ISBN: 9781472425898 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much analysis of state building focusses on dissecting specific projects and attempting to identify what has gone wrong in states such as Afghanistan and Iraq. What draws less attention is what has gone right in non-interventionist statebuilding projects within 'unrecognised states. By examining this model in more depth a more successful model of statebuilding emerges in which the end goal of modern democracy and good governance are more likely to be realized. Indeed 'states-within-states such as Somaliland where external intervention in the statebuilding process is largely absent can provide...

This book is a collection of articles, written by both academics and practitioners as an evidence base for citizen engagement through information and communication technologies (ICTs).

Armadillos and Yellow Lines: essays from the Huffington Post
ISBN: 9781497310797 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When author, journalist and political commentator Hoyt Hilsman joined The Huffington Post editors as a contributor in the fall of 2008, he had just finished a second unsuccessful campaign for Congress in California, but he still had lots to say about the politics and culture of our country. Since then, he has written over a hundred essays for HuffPost, on topics ranging from gun control to Brittney Spears, with a focus on American politics and culture. As an unabashed Democratic centrist (or more precisely center-left), Hilsman believes in an activist government to meet the needs of all the...

Leadership and Authority in China: 1895-1978
ISBN: 9780739198032 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume presents elite conflicts and political controversies in China from 1895 to 1978 as rooted in two diametrically opposed visions of leadership and political authority: a radical, charismatic model that instills absolute authority in the single leader whose "will" guides the polity and whose "word" is the basis of policy formulation, versus an institutional model in which authority inheres in organization and where "collective" leadership and decision-making govern the political realm. The former model in modern Chinese history entailed a "leader principle" and personality cult that...

Anger and Racial Politics: The Emotional Foundation of Racial Attitudes in America
ISBN: 9781107049833 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Politicians, scholars, and pundits often disagree about whether race has been injected into a political campaign or policy debate. Some have suspected that race sometimes enters into politics even when political elites avoid using racial cues or racially coded language. Anger and Racial Politics provides a theoretical framework for understanding the emotional conditions under which this effect might happen. Banks asserts that making whites angry - no matter the basis for their anger - will make ideas about race more salient to them. He argues that anger, and not fear or other negative...

Ethnic Struggle, Coexistence, and Democratization in Eastern Europe
ISBN: 9781107656949 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In societies divided on ethnic and religious lines, problems of democracy are magnified particularly where groups are mobilized into parties. With the principle of majority rule, minorities should be less willing to endorse democratic institutions where their parties persistently lose elections. While such problems should also hamper transitions to democracy, several diverse Eastern European states have formed democracies even under these conditions. In this book, Sherrill Stroschein argues that sustained protest and contention by ethnic Hungarians in Romania and Slovakia brought concessions...

External Intervention and the Politics of State Formation: China, Indonesia, and Thailand, 1893-1952
ISBN: 9781107679788 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores ways in which foreign intervention and external rivalries can affect the institutionalization of governance in weak states. When sufficiently competitive, foreign rivalries in a weak state can actually foster the political centralization, territoriality, and autonomy associated with state sovereignty. This counterintuitive finding comes from studying the collective effects of foreign contestation over a weak state as informed by changes in the expected opportunity cost of intervention for outside actors. When interveners associate high opportunity costs with intervention,...
