Poverty, Ethnicity and the American City, 1840-1925: Changing Conceptions of the Slum and Ghetto
ISBN: 9780521277112 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The debate about the relationships among poverty, minorities and the inner city is rooted in evaluations of policies initiated decades ago but the issues of this debate have a much longer ancestry. In many respects the underlying arguments of this debate were formulated during the second quarter of the nineteenth century when the first wave of mass immigration from Europe exacerbated anxieties about the social order of the rapidly growing seaports of the north-eastern United States. This book examines, from an explicitly geographic perspective, the relationships between migrants and the inner...

Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and the Passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988
ISBN: 9780804723664 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1982, a congressional commission concluded that the incarceration of 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II resulted from racism, war hysteria, and failed political leadership. Against long odds, the commission's recommendation that the U.S. government offer financial redress became law on August 10, 1988, when President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act. This book is a case study of the political, institutional, and external factors that led to the passage of this controversial legislation. Based on extensive interviews with Senators, members of Congress, key...

The Politics of Sustainability
ISBN: 9783639160635 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How can the state, which has historically been instrumental in the degradation of the environment, become more active in its protection? Among the key actors in any such transformation would be dedicated ministries of environment. Yet, since these institutions were first created in the 1970s, we have barely begun to understand how they are affected by politics. This analysis of how the Colombian Ministry of Environment emerged and subsequently evolved shows the crucial impact of political debates and changes on environmental management. In particular, the study shows that Colombian...

The Politics of Civil-Military Relations in Mexico
ISBN: 9783639162158 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the late 19th Century, the military in Mexico has been an important instrument of the executive branch of government to maintain political stability. Despite the Mexican Revolution in the first quarter of the 20th Century and the subsequent process of democratization after 1988, this basic characteristic has not been broken. This is definitely a distinctive feature within Latin America, where democratization has rarely been accompanied by an increasing role of the armed forces on internal affairs. By using deductive reasoning and historical narrative, Dr. Lopez argues that the rules...

Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics
ISBN: 9780195326529 / Angielski / Twarda / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religion is, and has always been, a powerful force in American politics. Over the past three decades, the study of religion and politics has gone from being ignored by the scholarly community to being a major focus of research. Yet, because this important research is not easily accessible to nonspecialists, much of the analysis of religion's role in the political arena that we read in the media is greatly oversimplified. This Handbook seeks to bridge that gap by examining the considerable research that has been conducted to this point and assessing what has been learned, what remains...

The Labour Party and the Struggle for Socialism
ISBN: 9780521099394 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the seventies the British political system was in deep and growing crisis. The leading political parties appeared unable to offer effective solutions to the major problems which confronted the electorate and the electorate was consequently increasingly alienated from politicians who promised so much and delivered so little. The gap between promise and performance had been a persistent feature of Labour Party politics in particular and with the revival of radicalism within the Labour Party during the 1970s it was the opportune time to re-examine the record of the party and its potential....
