ISBN: 9780691619200 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Venezuela has had a long and bloody history of military dictatorships. Yet, since 1958, it has developed one of the few effective, competitive democracies in Latin America. To explain this transformation Daniel H.

This book does not pretend to be a general survey of Venezuelan politics. Rather, it is an attempt to... Venezuela has had a long and bloody history of military dictatorships.

Decentralization and Self-Government in Russia, 1830-1870
ISBN: 9780691619675 / Angielski / Miękka / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The turbulent period of renewal and innovation that followed Russia's crushing defeat in the Crimea has been interpreted, historically, in terms of the emancipation of the serfs and the evolution of the gentry class. But, contends Frederick Starr, such an approach underestimates the breadth and intensity of the impulse for local reforms per se. After tracing the ideological sources of the reform, Mr. Starr examines in detail the legislative process by which administrative decentralization and public self-government were instituted. Originally published in 1972. The... The turbulent period of renewal and innovation that followed Russia's crushing defeat in the Crimea has been interpreted, historically, in terms of... |

The Quaker Party's campaign in 1764 to replace Pennsylvania's proprietary government with royal government prefigures, in some ways, the colonies' struggle against George III. This is the key, in James Hutson's analysis, to Pennsylvania politics in the decades before the Revolution. In a lucidly written narrative, he follows the efforts of the Quaker dominated Assembly--outraged by Thomas Penn's inflexible government and representing a society that had matured economically, politically, and socially--to bring about royal government, on Benjamin Franklin's advice, as a less restrictive...

The Four Pillars of Politics provides a uniform foundation for evaluating political campaign strategies. The four pillars identified in this book--fear, national narcissism, consumerism, and religion--serve as attitudinal anchors that American voters use in making their voting decisions.
