ISBN: 9780195077056 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the past twenty years, a revolution has occurred in relations between the American executive and legislative branches.

The Cold War: The United States and the Soviet Union 1917-1991
ISBN: 9780195078510 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For half of the twentieth century, the Cold War gripped the world. International relations everywhere--and domestic policy in scores of nations--pivoted around this central point, the American-Soviet rivalry. Even today, much of the world's diplomacy grapples with chaos created by the Cold War's sudden disappearance. Here indeed is a subject that defies easy understanding. Now comes a definitive account, a startlingly fresh, clear eyed, comprehensive history of our century's longest struggle.
In The Cold War, Ronald E. Powaski offers a new perspective on the great rivalry, even... For half of the twentieth century, the Cold War gripped the world. International relations everywhere--and domestic policy in scores of nations--pivot...

ISBN: 9780195078725 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With the ascendancy of Deng Xiaoping in 1978, China began a program of agricultural reform intended to increase productivity. This detailed study examines what the author sees as the major changes which moved the sector from a centrally planned to a more market-oriented system--replacement of collective teams with household farming, an increase of free markets for rural products, an increased state price for agricultural products, and greater freedom to expand off-farm activities--changes in the economic structure which facilitated greater productivity. It is unique in its focus on a single...

Escape from Violence: Conflict and the Refugee Crisis in the Developing World
ISBN: 9780195079166 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The magnitude of refugees movements in the Third World, widely perceived as an unprecedented crisis, has generated widespread concern in the West. This concern reveals itself as an ambiguous mixture of heartfelt compassion for the plight of the unfortunates cast adrift and a diffuse fear that they will come "pouring in." In this comprehensive study, the authors examine the refugee flows originating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and suggest how a better understanding of this phenomenon can be used by the international community to assist those in greatest need. Reviewing the history of...

ISBN: 9780195079425 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1948, civil rights for black Americans stood higher on the national political agenda than at any time since Reconstruction. President Harry Truman issued orders for fair employment and the integration of the armed forces, and he proceeded to campaign on a platform that included an unprecedented civil rights plank, pushed through the Democratic convention by Hubert Humphrey. But on the other side of the globe, his administration paid close attention to another election as well: the surprising triumph of the white-supremacist National Party in South Africa, reluctantly accepted by the Truman...

Rules, judgments, decisions, interpretations, and agreements all involve using and communicating information. Today, we are experiencing a significant transition, from letters fixed on paper to information stored electronically. The digital era, where information is created, stored, and communicated electronically, is quickly approaching, if not already here. The future of law will no longer be found in impressive buildings and leather-bound books, but in small pieces of silicon, in streams of light, and in millions of miles of wires and cable. It...

Impunity and Human Rights in International Law and Practice
ISBN: 9780195081367 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As dictatorships topple around the world and transitional regimes emerge from the political rubble, the new governments inherit a legacy of widespread repression against the civilian population. This repression ranges from torture, forced disappearances, and imprisonment to the killings of both real and perceived political opponents. Nonetheless, the official status of the perpetrators shields them from sanction, creating a culture of impunity in which the most inhumane acts can be carried out without fear of repercussions. The new governments wrestle with whether or not to investigate prior...

The Politics of Regulatory Change: A Tale of Two Agencies
ISBN: 9780195081916 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The past three decades have brought remarkable change in American regulatory politics. The re-emergence of public interest movements in the sixties and seventies raised fundamental questions about our market economy and dramatically expanded the government's regulatory role in the protection of public health, the consumer, and the environment. The far-reaching effects of this new regulatory regime in turn precipitated a counter-movement to restrict social and economic regulation spearheaded by the Reagan administration. In their first edition of The Politics of Regulatory Change,...

Love and Power: The Role of Religion and Morality in American Politics
ISBN: 9780195083552 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this sequel to his Morality, Politics, and Law, Michael Perry addresses the proper relation of moral convictions to the politics of a morally pluralistic society. While his analysis focuses on religious morality, Perry's argument applies to morality generally. Contending that no justification of a contested political choice can be neutral among competing conceptions of human good, the author develops an ideal of "ecumenical politics" in which moral convictions about human good can be brought to bear in a productive way in political argument.

The President and the Parties: The Transformation of the American Party System Since the New Deal
ISBN: 9780195084252 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Presenting a new synthesis of twentieth-century American political development, The President and the Parties is the first text to examine closely the association between the chief executive and the two-party system. Placing parties in a broad historical context and shedding light on their connection to other parts of the American political system, Sidney Milkis argues that, beginning with the New Deal, reforms intended to liberate the chief executive from the shackles of partisan politics only weakened an already fragile relationship, isolating presidents from what was once popular...

How Women Legislate offers a uniquely comprehensive and timely study of the effects women have had on legislation and the lawmaking process, analyzing the differences between women's and men's backgrounds before entering public office, and differences in their agendas, priorities, working styles, and leadership once they are in office.

Virgin or Vamp
ISBN: 9780195086652 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the last few years, the national press has lavished coverage on several major sex-related scandals: the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings, the William Kennedy Smith rape trial, and the Mike Tyson case. With each event came lurid stories pitting either a loose or virginal woman against an unwilling or monstrous man. Such extreme coverage, argues Helen Benedict, perpetuates myths that are harmful to victims of these crimes (and sometimes to the accused).
In Virgin or Vamp Benedict examines the press's treatment of four notorious sex crimes from the past decade--the Rideout marital rape... In the last few years, the national press has lavished coverage on several major sex-related scandals: the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings, the Wi...

A timely examination of this important phenomenon in American politics, Southern Democrats traces the history of this influential regional faction and gauges the extent and nature of Southern Democratic influence in congressional and presidential...

Strategic Public Diplomacy and American Foreign Policy: The Evolution of Influence
ISBN: 9780195087383 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Strategic public diplomacy, once commonly called propaganda, has existed since the twelfth century, when Richard I, crusading sovereign of England, plucked the eyes from his prisoners and returned them to his arch-rival Saladin--an unmistakable message intended to mold the image that Richard's foreign enemies had of him. Although their methods have grown more sophisticated and gentrified since the Middle Ages, the goal of governments employing strategic public diplomacy has remained essentially the same: to influence public or elite opinion in a foreign country for the purpose of turning the...

ISBN: 9780195088267 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the 1960s, German scholars have developed distinctive methods for writing the history of political, social, and philosophical concepts. Applied to France as well as Germany, their work has set new standards for the historical study of political and social language, Begriffsgeschichte. The questions these scholars address, and the methods they apply systematically to a broad range of sources, differ as much from the styles of Hegel, Dilthey, and Meinecke as from those of A.O. Lovejoy, J.G.A. Pocock, and Quentin Skinner. Begriffsgeschichte treats political language...

Prominent politicians of every persuasion joined the organization, which eventually became known as the American Party. Many observers predicted that the party would elect the next President.
