Patterns of Japanese Pol/H: Experiences from Higher Education
ISBN: 9780367282455 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author of this study of policymaking in postwar Japan contends that the prevailing perceptions of the subject advanced to date are inadequate.

One of these, "policymaking by camp conflict, "is associated with broad, highly emotional, ideological issues that polarize political forces and that are resolved only after widely publicized battles in the Diet, the media, and the streets. A second pattern, "incremental policymaking, "involves nonideological problems that are...

Introduction to Chinese History from Ancient Times to 1912
ISBN: 9780367021115 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Confining itself to the ancient and traditional state which ended constitutionally in 1912, this book aims to provide an introduction to the history of China. In dealing with Chinese history since the abdication in that year of the last Ch'ing emperor, a completely separate approach seems necessary, in view of that history's complexity, terms of reference, and what is perhaps a quite different structure -though admittedly the origins of the modem state may be sought in the traditional era and past traditions can be regarded as surviving for a time.
