Narrowing the Nation's Power: The Supreme Court Sides with the States
ISBN: 9780520240681 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Narrowing the Nation's Power is the tale of how a cohesive majority of the Supreme Court has, in the last six years, cut back the power of Congress and enhanced the autonomy of the fifty states. The immunity from suit of the sovereign, Blackstone taught, is necessary to preserve the people's idea that the sovereign is "a superior being." Promoting the common law doctrine of sovereign immunity to constitutional status, the current Supreme Court has used it to shield the states from damages for age discrimination, disability discrimination, and the violation of patents, trademarks,...

ISBN: 9780520254053 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Peter Schrag takes on the big issues--immigration, globalization, and the impact of California's politics on its quality of life--in this dynamic account of the Golden State's struggle to recapture the American dream. In the past half-century, California has been both model and anti-model for the nation and often the world, first for its high level of government and public services--schools, universities, highways--and latterly for its dysfunctional government, deteriorating services, and sometimes regressive public policies. California explains how many current "solutions" exacerbate...

Is it possible to advance democracy by empowering ordinary citizens to make key decisions about the design of political institutions and policies?

ISBN: 9780595337927 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "It's like being in a small town right in the middle of a big city. People belong to their neighborhood first, and that neighborhood belongs to the city." -- Karen Boyle, Seattle neighborhood activist.
Seattle, Washington, has earned a national reputation as a "City of Neighborhoods" and a place where citizens take an active role in finding solutions to the problems of urban life. The efforts of Seattle's neighborhood-based councils and not-for-profit organizations were also seen as part of a national "neighborhood movement" that achieved prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Originally... "It's like being in a small town right in the middle of a big city. People belong to their neighborhood first, and that neighborhood belongs to the ci...

Cloak of Secrecy: The Special Cults of the Ontario Government
ISBN: 9780595451036 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "In spite of its critical importance to social stability, " the Ontario social welfare system has avoided scrutiny to a remarkable degree. In this book, the authors use their extensive experience as landlords to blow the cover off Ontario's social welfare system. They show how the system is operated as what can best be described as a "special welfare cult" whose insiders jealously guard its secrets. This has significant implications for housing, homelessness, crime, and the taxpayer-funded cost of the system. More importantly, it threatens to undermine the comfortable middle-class lifestyle...
