ISBN: 9783832947873 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although civil society is definitely not a panacea for all challenges of the modern state, the contributions in this anthology show that national paths and patterns of civil society and third sector developments can be used as important benchmarks and examples of the best (and sometimes worst) practices for the successful development of governance. By analyzing theoretical and empirical evidence from local, national, and international contexts, the book contributes to a transfer of knowledge between national discourses and the practices of civil society. The book illustrates what civil...

Abortion and Public Policy:: An Interdisciplinary Investigation Within the Catholic Tradition.
ISBN: 9781881871187 / Angielski / Miękka / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ongoing debate over abortion serves as a clear indication that the Supreme Court decision of 1973 did little to settle the question of abortion's legitimacy. If anything, in fact, the debate has grown, with more strident voices and, in some cases, more violent dimensions than ever before. On both sides, the debate has been dominated by passionate but not always rational arguments. It seems as thought there are no tame opinions about abortion in this country, that public policy is the product of slogans, sound bites, and placards, instead of principled argument. By presenting the balanced,...
