ISBN: 9780814712702 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than forty years, Western policymakers defined communism as the central threat to international peace and stability.

State Building & Democracy in Africa: A Comparative & Developmental Approach
ISBN: 9781612090252 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central concern of this book is power and influence, a twin concept: how African countries can obtain power and use it properly for the common good of the people. The transfer of the concepts of power and influence from the plane of theory to that of social practice should render a service to those in search of greater social relevance in social change, as well as to those seeking an improved, more precise and intellectually more manageable and intelligible frame of reference for power and its usage. This publication is different, and the hope is that it will open new vistas to students,...

The End of the Berlusconi Era?
ISBN: 9781845452667 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Italian politics may appear on the surface to be evolving towards a Westminster model with right- and left-wing blocs alternating in power, this impression is belied by the often nervous and disconnected way in which events unfolded in 2005. In some respects, 2005 was a classic pre-electoral year, in which the pattern of 2000 repeated itself with the roles of government and opposition reversed: the center-left coalition scored a decisive victory in the regional elections in April, provoking a crisis that ended Silvio Berlusconi's second government, the longest-serving cabinet since...
