Politics of Transport in Twentieth-Century France
ISBN: 9780773504288 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few aspects of economic development have had such a widespread or profound impact on the reshaping of contemporary France as transportation. As a result, transport policy has brought many of the major social forces into conflict. Monopolistic railway companies, closely aligned with the banks, combated the defenders of the regions and small towns. The fiercely independent truckers and barge-haulers, proponents of the small family firm, collided with the forces of the state. Apostles of the transatlantic gospel of free enterprise and technical progress clashed with supporters of a planned,...

The creation of the NDP out of the CCF in 1961 was intended to strengthen Canada's left-wing political party through a closer alliance with organized labour. This strength has failed to materialize.

ISBN: 9780773508958 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. New Democratic Party governments in Canada have always been strongly committed to redistributing wealth and stabilizing the economy, but present conditions require that they broaden their perspective. They must also find ways of generating wealth if they expect to finance new social programs or protect existing ones. As global pressures intensify, Bob Rae's Ontario NDP government needs to rethink many of its traditional approaches to public policy and discover new policy instruments to tackle the five principal agendas of social democracy: social welfare policy, labour market adjustment,...

Reconciling the Solitudes: Essays on Canadian Federalism and Nationalism
ISBN: 9780773511057 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taylor is one of the world's pre-eminent experts on Hegel and brings to his reflections on nationalism and federalism the fruits of a more universal philosophical discourse rooted in the Enlightenment and before. Its hallmarks are terms such as recognition, self-determination, atomism, and modernity. Notwithstanding his long involvement in philosophical reflections, Taylor has avoided the role of the disengaged intellectual, always remaining close to political action and debate in Canada. To his philosophical discourse, therefore, is added a sensitive knowledge of Quebec society from the...

Is Quebec Nationalism Just?: Perspectives from Anglophone Canada
ISBN: 9780773513419 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Is Quebec Nationalism Just? contributors explore Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada from a normative perspective. The case of Quebec is interesting, both politically and philosophically, because it epitomizes the puzzle of liberal nationalism. While nationalism is often assumed to be inherently illiberal and regressive, the authors of these essays argue that Quebecers' desire to control their own political destiny is not fuelled by hostility to liberalism. On the contrary, they conclude that Quebecers are at least as deeply committed to liberal values, institutions, and...

The Challenge of Direct Democracy: The 1992 Canadian Referendum
ISBN: 9780773515048 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In October 1992 Canada's political leaders asked voters to accept the Charlottetown Accord, a comprehensive package of constitutional amendments that was the product of years of negotiation, consultation, and compromise. Canadians rejected it outright, effectively halting the country's formal constitutional evolution. But what did the No vote mean? Were voters making a considered judgment after thorough consideration of the package or were they expressing their anger with politicians, particularly Prime Minister Brian Mulroney? The Challenge of Direct Democracy provides the definitive account...

Local Politics and Participation in Britain and France
ISBN: 9780521122870 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing on surveys of citizens as well as on interviews with local leaders in France and Britain, this book looks at participation in day-to-day local politics in both countries. The work is less concerned with voting than with spheres of action--particularly the extent to which people contact their local representatives about problems, complain to officials, form groups, and protest decisions. The salient differences between the two local government systems, both of which have experienced significant changes in recent decades, is explored. A series of case studies examines levels of...

The Poverty of Presidential Government
ISBN: 9783639204155 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a philosophical study of the presidency. Its purpose is to improve presidential analysis by critically evaluating the office from the point of view of the political system as a whole. It seeks to redress an error committed near universally by contemporary scholarship. By topically fragmenting understanding through historic outlines, legal limits, and observed behaviors, the sometimes noticed difficulties of the office-its pretensions to charismatic leadership, its frequent undemocratic character-have been taken to be occasional short-comings to be guarded against. This analysis,...

The Process of Rule Implementation in Mexico
ISBN: 9783639199277 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Policy implementation studies are a relatively new area of study. Within the three stages of the process of public policies, implementation has proved its main relevance for the success or failure of the policy. During this stage, the policy could be obstructed or even deviated from. In fact, it is not unusual to find a gap between the original objectives of a policy and its final outcomes. The book reviews the existing theoretical literature on implementation and evaluates to what extent the theoretical frameworks -from top-down, bottom-up or hybrid perspectives- are useful for explaining...

The Integration of Traditional Leaders in Democratization Process
ISBN: 9783639205480 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Popular participation is an essential pillar of democracy. In a country plagued with civil wars, lack of development, and crises of governance like Sudan, popular participation at the grass-roots level is critical for a sustainable good governance and development. Sudan has solid social networks which could serve as a potentially solid foundation for political participation and good governance. The traditional leaders are one of the forces in Sudanese society to assume responsibilities of peace-building and to consolidate the national identity. What was the history of traditional leadership...

Human Security in the Sudan
ISBN: 9783639198188 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since early 2003, the people of Darfur witnessed vicious rounds of campaigns and counter campaigns that claimed and continue to claim the lives of hundreds of civilians and forced about two million people to leave their homes in search of security. Accordingly, the government of Sudan in its policies and actions has fueled the humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur and successfully undermined the endeavor to mitigate and resolve the crisis. Apparently, Khartoum which is entrusted with the responsibility to protect its citizens behaved other wise and become security threat to the people...

Divided Counsel: The Anglo-American Response to Communist Victory in China
ISBN: 9780813192925 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the long controversy over the failure of the United States to extend early recognition to the People's Republic of China, the story of American efforts to maintain an official presence in the Communist-controlled areas of China until 1950 has been largely neglected. Moreover, the often bitter partisan strife over Sino-American relations during this period has obscured important facts or so distorted them that making an independent judgment is difficult indeed. In this book, Edwin Martin seeks to set the confused record straight by providing a well-documented, detailed account of...
