This case study of transportation policy for disabled people illustrates the flaws in policymaking that lead many Americans to believe government is not working as it should. Robert A.

U.S. Trade Policy and the Power to Negotiate
ISBN: 9783639231335 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Separation of power and the system of checks and balances create a situation of shared authority over decision making by different branches of government within the political system of the United States. By taking into account the political tools available to the U.S. President, I argue that U.S. Congress has a hard time to secure its stance in making political decisions in areas impacted by domestic as well as international concerns. By referring to the case of trade policy, I show that the President is more powerful than Congress within the legislative bargaining framework by using his...

ISBN: 9782940252190 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Geniocracy," the 1st English edition of Rael's classic work, allows a new generation to consider an ingenious worldwide solution to man's biggest problems: war, hunger, poverty and the exploitation of genius under "mediocracies" backed by military might. The solution, says the author, is geniocracy: collegial government by geniuses elected under a selective democracy. Such a system - revolutionary but truly just - would work for the good of all rather than just a privileged few, Rael explains. After illustrating how geniocracy would work on various levels, he asks us to consider how...

In Search of Self-Governance
ISBN: 9781449593544 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scott Rasmussen, an independent pollster for over a decade, poses this thesis in his latest book, In Search of Self-Governance: Americans are united in the belief that our political system is broken, that politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers. We don't want to be governed from the left, the right, or the center. We want to govern ourselves. The critical accolades quickly follow -- from both sides of the Beltway. Pat Caddell, Political Strategist and pollster for President Jimmy Carter calls it a "brilliant and thoughtful essay." "This book is dead-on...

Canada: The State of the Federation 1998/99: How Canadians Connect
ISBN: 9780889117815 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last twenty or so years have seen a different kind of state emerge in Canada and elsewhere. The questioning of Keynesian macroeconomic policy in light of crises in Western economies coupled with the rise of neo-conservative and neo-liberal politics (and the attendant rethinking of the modern state's regulatory and redistributive roles) has resulted in significant restructuring and retrenchment of the state in Canada, both federal and provincial. Similarly, Canadians' sense of citizenship has undergone significant changes that need to be explored. Canada: The State of the Federation 1998...

This collection, first published in 1970, brings together twelve articles on French political subjects, mostly concerned either with the plots and scandals that arose out of the long struggle for decolonisation, or with the culmination of that struggle in the Algerian war.

Intercultural Cooperation Between Israelis and Palestinians
ISBN: 9783639196979 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historically, political strategies have been employed to assist dispute resolution in political conflicts, such as those found in the Middle East and elsewhere. This book asserts that the business and cultural concepts of change management can be an additional source to facilitate conflict resolution. There are several reasons for this. First, they offer a complement to the political analysis process. Second, businesses have been interacting successfully on a global basis for years with respect to joint ventures, competitive factors, managing culturally diverse workforces, and responding...

Political Class Dismissed: Essays Against Politics, Including "What's Wrong With Buffalo"
ISBN: 9780974925301 / Angielski / Miękka / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Political Class Dismissed is an unrelenting assault on America's (and Buffalo's) political class: the people who have seized political power and used it to advance their own private interests--domestic and foreign--at our expense. The author is uniquely qualified to expose the political class, growing up in a political family, being a former liberal Democratic activist and candidate, and practicing law in state and federal courts for twenty years. His trenchant and unprecedented critique of today's courts is alone worth the price of the book. He has been fighting the political machine for...

Political Leadership in the Hand of Teachers
ISBN: 9783639249538 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Leadership has been a major topic of discussion in academia.

A good example is education; most of the scholars view the lack of leadership engenders oppression, inequality, lack of democracy and opportunity leading to a decline in human social, economic, and political progress. Leadership on the other hand has contributed...
