George Washington is revered as the father of his country, a clever and skilled general, and a man of restrained principle--but not as a political thinker.

Though Washington left little explicit writing on political philosophy, Jeffry Morrison examines his key writings, actions, education, and political and professional lives. He finds that Washington held closely to a trinity of foundational principles--classical...

Arab nationalism and Islamism have been the two most potent ideological forces in the Arab region across the twentieth century.

A Better Guide Than Reason: Federalists & Anti-Federalists
ISBN: 9781560001317 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this seminal volume, M. E. Bradford defines the Old Whig political tradition in American thought, showing that the inheritance of the prescriptive anti-federalists still lives. For Bradford, important elements in our heritage from the American Revolution have been systematically hidden from our view by anachronistic and partisan scholarship. He believes that other, more ideological components have been emphasized at the expense of the rest. Here he attempts to return us to our heritage. A Better Guide than Reason is a unique book due to its unusual focus on the Declaration of Independence....

A Critical Theory of Ethno-Nationalist Ideology in the Developed West
ISBN: 9783639129083 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book attempts to address the recent development of ethno nationalism in Western Europe and North America. It engages with Kleinian psychoanalytical concepts, balancing these with a broader socio-economic emphasis, to argue that a certain type of nationalism is becoming more prevalent. The book seeks to suggest, through an interpretation of political culture, that contemporary ethno nationalism is linked to the decline of a sense of the self. Contemporary service based economies tend to favour a lack of personal reality or connectedness to social traditions. Individuals gain emotional...

This first book of the sixth volume centers on the Revolutionary and Constitutional eras in early American history, while also carrying the story ahead into the early 19th century. How did the American founders adapt and utilize European thought in their political and legal ideas on sovereignty, state, and legislation? Because of the seismic impact of European thought (and classical traditions) on America's foremost founders, it should come as no surprise that some of the most basic documents in the emergent new Republic were significantly influenced by European writings. Subsequent... This first book of the sixth volume centers on the Revolutionary and Constitutional eras in early American history, while also carrying the story a... |

The Political Centrist
ISBN: 9780826516688 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today almost half of all Americans decline to define themselves as either "liberal" or "conservative." In fact, modern liberalism and conservatism seem hopelessly fragmented ideologies. Liberals claim to believe in individual freedom yet advocate a more collectivistic approach to government and an increasingly paternalistic role for the state. Conservatives are hopelessly divided between two incompatible ideals--the highly individualistic, limited-state philosophy of classical liberalism and an older, more collectivistic tradition of cultural conservatism that holds government responsible for...

Social Democracy in the Age of Globalization
ISBN: 9783639133547 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book studies Social Democracy within the context
of globalization. It questions both the argument over its unviability within the context and the accusations directed to it after 1980, such as that it has moved to the New Right stance and that it has experienced ruptures from its tradition, such as its acceptance of market economy and of the individual and breaking its ties with the working class. Against such criticisms this work argues that their understanding of Social Democracy arose from the shortages of their analysis which focuses merely either on party politics or on policies....

efficacious social phenomena in the history of the Turkish Republic. Being educational institutions, they have been studied mostly in the discipline of pedagogics.

claims that military leaders develop a coherent public ideology that is, first, distinct from those of their parent society and, second, that this belief system is predictably conservative in character. In the American case, these claims depict self-selected and socialized military leaders as sharing in a conservative "military mind" that remains isolated from the mainstream of the American liberal tradition. Using a combination of Q-method public values sorting exercises followed by semi- structured, in-depth interviews, these... This book examines the veracity of longstanding

And if that wasn't enough of a week's work, the Prime Minister managed to also turn it into a 'crisis of national unity'.
