The Politics of Victimization: Victims, Victimology, and Human Rights
ISBN: 9780195039818 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This useful text provides a comprehensive introductory overview of the study of victims and victimization. Victimization is here considered as a reflection of American society. Taking a broad perspective, Elias argues that the study of victimology requires more than merely analyzing criminal justice; it requires linking it to much wider social, political and economic relations--especially to the American political economy. This study rejects the official definition of crime and victimization and establishes a relationship between victimology and human rights, thus advocating a "new"...

The National Security: Its Theory and Practice, 1945-1960
ISBN: 9780195039870 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Based on a conference at West Point, this volume explores the national security policies developed by the Truman and Eisenhower administrations in response to the threat of Soviet expansionism. More pointed and analytic than any other book on the subject, it shows clearly that the makers of Cold War policy were motivated by fear. It also examines the nature of U.S. security policy and points to the growing gap between the ends and the means of global security policy--the goal of protecting Western democracy from the "Red Menace" by using a nuclear strategy with limited applications. The...

The book also tells of the rapid disintegration of Britain's dominance in the Middle East after World War I and portrays the...

Poland, the United States, and the Stabilization of Europe, 1919-1933
ISBN: 9780195040500 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the eyes of the world, no European country appeared more vulnerable to its enemies or less likely to establish peace with them than inter-war Poland. This is the first full-length study of relations between Poland and the U.S. following World War I, as Poland turned to America to buttress its precarious position. Pease lucidly examines how Polish leaders of the 1920s, discerning America's essential aim of fostering stability in Europe, sought to enlist U.S. political and financial support on behalf of their beleaguered state. Drawing on exhaustive archival research, Pease unravels the...

Liberal City, Conservative State: Moscow and Russia's Urban Crisis, 1906-1914
ISBN: 9780195043310 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between 1906 and the outbreak of World War I, Moscow was the locale of great uncertainty and experimentation. Moscow's liberal leaders sought social and political stability for their city following the violence of the 1905 revolution by offering attractive programs in education, employment, housing and other areas to Moscow's unruly lower classes. They were countered in their efforts, however, by central authorities of the Old Regime, who feared the political effects of these programs and stressed social rigidity. Liberal City, Conservative State examines the resulting clash between...
