The Banking Swindle is not an economic textbook filled with technical jargon that only serves to obscure important issues.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the formulation of the United States policy towards Africa has always been based on the strategic importance of the natural resources of Africa and how these can be used in the national interests of the United States.

More Than a Feeling: Personality, Polarization, and the Transformation of the US Congress
ISBN: 9780226455983 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whatever you think about the widening divide between Democrats and Republicans, ideological differences do not explain why politicians from the same parties, who share the same goals and policy preferences, often argue fiercely about how best to attain them. This perplexing misalignment suggests that we are missing an important piece of the puzzle. Political scientists have increasingly drawn on the relationship between voters' personalities and political orientation, but there has been little empirically grounded research looking at how legislators' personalities influence their performance...

The Principle of the Separation of Powers: A Defense
ISBN: 9781498523349 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The separation of powers is one of the most cherished principles of constitutional government in the Western tradition. Despite its prestigious status, however, it has always been controversial. It has been attacked for being inadequate to account for institutional realities; for being inapplicable to parliamentary systems; for lacking a convincing normative grounding and even for being harmful, inasmuch as it hampers both the immediate enforcement of popular will and efficient political leadership. Current political crises all over the world, especially the rise of populist democracies and...

The Dual Executive: Unilateral Orders in a Separated and Shared Power System
ISBN: 9780804799973 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Popular perception holds that presidents act "first and alone," resorting to unilateral orders to promote an agenda and head off unfavorable legislation. Little research, however, has considered the diverse circumstances in which such orders are issued. The Dual Executive reinterprets how and when presidents use unilateral power by illuminating the dual roles of the president. Drawing from an original data set of over 5,000 executive orders and proclamations (the two most frequently used unilateral orders) from the Franklin D. Roosevelt to the George W. Bush administrations... Popular perception holds that presidents act "first and alone," resorting to unilateral orders to promote an agenda and head off unfavorable legisl... |

Exceptions to the Rule: The Politics of Filibuster Limitations in the U.S. Senate
ISBN: 9780815729969 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Special rules enable the Senate to act despite the filibuster. Sometimes. Most people believe that, in today's partisan environment, the filibuster prevents the Senate from acting on all but the least controversial matters. But this is not exactly correct. In fact, the Senate since the 1970s has created a series of special rules--described by Molly Reynolds as "majoritarian exceptions"--that limit debate on a wide range of measures on the Senate floor. The details of these exemptions might sound arcane and technical, but in practice they have enabled the Senate to act even when...

A Great Power of Attorney: Understanding the Fiduciary Constitution
ISBN: 9780700624256 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What kind of document is the United States Constitution and how does that characterization affect its meaning? Those questions are seemingly foundational for the entire enterprise of constitutional theory, but they are strangely under-examined. Legal scholars Gary Lawson and Guy Seidman propose that the Constitution, for purposes of interpretation, is a kind of fiduciary, or agency, instrument. The founding generation often spoke of the Constitution as a fiduciary document--or as a "great power of attorney," in the words of founding-era legal giant James Iredell. Viewed against the background...

Saving the Security State: Exceptional Citizens in Twenty-First-Century America
ISBN: 9780822368984 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Saving the Security State Inderpal Grewal traces the changing relations between the US state and its citizens in an era she calls advanced neoliberalism. Marked by the decline of US geopolitical power, endless war, and increasing surveillance, advanced neoliberalism militarizes everyday life while producing the "exceptional citizen"--primarily white Christian men who reinforce the security state as they claim responsibility for protecting the country from racialized others. Under advanced neoliberalism, Grewal shows, others in the US strive to become exceptional by participating in...

If Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay found it necessary to sell the Constitution in a series of papers published for all to see, shouldn't we engage in the same exercise for the purposes of restoring its original luster and applying it to the challenges of a modern world? In The Federalist Pages, attorney, physician, and State Representative, Julio Gonzalez, does just that. In a meticulously researched summary of America's constitutional and legislative histories, Dr. Gonzalez recounts the factors that made the Constitution truly magnificent and how she was...
