God of the Machine
ISBN: 9781560006664 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The God of the Machine presents an original theory of history and a bold defense of individualism as the source of moral and political progress. When it was published in 1943, Isabel Paterson's work provided fresh intellectual support for the endangered American belief in individual rights, limited government, and economic freedom. The crisis of today's collectivized nations would not have surprised Paterson; in The God of the Machine, she had explored the reasons for collectivism's failure. Her book placed her in the vanguard of the free-enterprise movement now sweeping...

ISBN: 9781583671481 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the end of the Cold War, the idea of human rights has been made into a justification for intervention by the world's leading economic and military powers above all, the United States in countries that are vulnerable to their attacks.

Until the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the large parts of the left was often complicit in this ideology of intervention discovering new Hitlers as the need arose, and denouncing antiwar arguments as...

The End of Human Rights
ISBN: 9781841130002 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human rights have become an important ideal in current times, yet our age has witnessed more violations of human rights than any previous less enlightened one. This book explores the historical and theoretical dimensions of this paradox. Divided into two parts, the first section offers an alternative history of natural law, in which natural rights are represented as the eternal human struggle to resist opression and to fight for a society in which people are no longer degraded or despised. At the time of their birth in the 18th Century and again in the popular uprisings of the last decade,...

ISBN: 9781841130606 / Angielski / Twarda / 776 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The controversial nature of seeking globalized justice through national courts has become starkly apparent in the wake of the Pinochet case in which the Spanish legal system sought to bring to account under international criminal law the former President of Chile, for violations in Chile of human rights of non-Spaniards. Some have reacted to the involvement of Spanish and British judges in sanctioning a former head of state as nothing more than legal imperialism while others have termed it positive globalization. While the international legal and associated statutory bases for such criminal...

Human Rights, Culture, and the Rule of Law
ISBN: 9781841135069 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This new book examines the relationship between culture and respect for human rights. It departs from the oft-made assumption that culture is closely linked to ideas about community. Instead, it reveals culture as a quality possessed by the individual with a serious impact on his/her ability to enjoy the rights and freedoms as recognized in international human rights law in meaningful and effective ways. This understanding redirects attention towards a range of issues that have long been marginalized, but which warrant a central place in human rights research and on the international human...

Human Rights and Private Law: Privacy as Autonomy
ISBN: 9781841137148 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Privacy today is much debated as an individual's right against real or feared intrusions by the state as exemplified by proposed identity cards and surveillance measures in the United Kingdom. In contrast, invasions of privacy by private individuals or bodies tend to arouse less concern. This book fills the gap by looking at the horizontal application of human rights after Douglas v. Hello, Campbell v. MGN, and Caroline von Hannover v. Germany. It provides a conceptual and theoretical framework and also considers specific particularly-sensitive areas of law relating to privacy protection,...

Genocide in the Age of the Nation State: The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide
ISBN: 9781845110574 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most books on genocide consider it primarily as a twentieth century phenomenon. In The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide, Mark Levene argues that this approach fails to grasp its true origins. Genocide developed out of modernity and the striving for the nation-state, both essentially Western experiences. It was European expansion into all hemispheres between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries that provided the main stimulus to its pre-1914 manifestations.One critical outcome, on the cusp of modernity, was the French revolutionary destruction of the Vendee. Levene finishes...

Human Rights, Regionalism and the Dilemmas of Democracy in Africa
ISBN: 9782869781924 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has often been argued that the concept of human rights is an artefact of modern Western civilisation, that human rights in the South are privileges conferred. These approaches have taken little cognisance of the place accorded to the societal rights held in such esteem as complementary to individual rights in traditional African society. In contrast, this study argues that human rights in Africa are as much about the dignity of Africans as about the commitments of others towards them. It argues for a critical defence of universal human rights within a multicultural framework. From...

ISBN: 9783836426305 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some countries have extended full equal rights to sexual minorities (gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender individuals and groups), while at the same time, others have not progressed or even regressed. Why?
