The Little Yellow Book (Paperback): Nigel Lindsay The Little Yellow Book (Paperback)
Nigel Lindsay; Edited by Robert A. Brown
R315 Discovery Miles 3 150 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is deliberately named after the famous Liberal Yellow Book of 1928. The reason for this is that we are seeking to articulate a Liberalism of the people, that speaks to modern Scotland, that offers a radical and practical inspiration for the future that will offer hope to young people, a personal future and place to those damaged by the aftermath of the banking crisis, and a mission to make our country a more equal and buoyant one, not fractured by social division, hopelessness and inequality. The Little Yellow Book is also intended to be something of a counterblast to the philosophy offered by the Orange Book of 2004. The Orange Book is well within the Liberal tradition and contains much of value to which Liberal Democrats can subscribe. But the belief that the private sector should be the driver of public services, that health services can be traded in a free market like widgets, that Government is a worse service-provider than monopoly private interests - these are not propositions we take to or regard as particularly Liberal. On the contrary, we believe that a society where MPs, the media, the banks and the big institutions have all successively been found wanting points to the crying need for a more rigorous sense of public and personal ethics, and for a strengthened concept of the public interest - ideas which have been central to Liberalism since the days of Gladstone.

Hussein Abdelrazik Ahmed
R233 Discovery Miles 2 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book, which committed itself to approach scientific research and objectivity, explores the Egyptian policy in a highly stage of delicacy, where the rigorous debate has been for so long at its peak arguing in who will lead Egypt after the end of President Hosni Mubarak's ruling era in the Autumn of 2011. Would it be his son Gamal, or somebody else? Knowingly, Egypt is a country enriched with significant patriotic nationals branded with very high-fidelity. The Book deeply highlights the character of Gamal Mubarak, the youngest son of President Hosni Mubarak. A lot of signals about his personal biography and life story have been casted. What kind of relationship had he to manipulate towards the people of his country as well as the world around him, what his forecasting vision for the future of Egypt by far and the future of peace with Israel particularly would look like, should he destined to be the next president. The book continues to explore the political depth of the man, what his relationship and tactics would be with the diversified conflicts of religious groups and affiliates as a chronic dilemma in his country. Could the image the Western media has been depicting about him help to boost the young man any further? And conclusively, the eventual answer for the most puzzling question; Is Gamal Mubarak really going to rule Egypt or not?! Yet again the book has not undermined all of the opposition fronts and factions in Egypt. A reasonable deal of light has been spread upon each of them; their history, their demands, their agenda and political manifesto in connection with all aspects of political and social life. The political and religious leaders and significant journalists have as well been considered as national unmistakeable or bypassed power with the right of contest to governing the turmoil country. The intention of publishing the book in English is mainly behind the endeavour of offering a close access to the Non-Arabic speakers for learning something about the world of politics in the Orient. It is a goal and sincere wish of the Author to participate in serving his country. It is an honest desire to introduce a fraction of what is occurring at the political level in Egypt, hopefully an excessive effort will follow in the near future. In view of that the hopes will remain pinned on all will be able to achieve meaningful and valuable cocktail of cross-fertilized notions to deepen the development of understanding in human relations between The East and The West.

The Judicial System - The Administration and Politics of Justice (Paperback): Carlo Guarnieri, Patrizia Pederzoli The Judicial System - The Administration and Politics of Justice (Paperback)
Carlo Guarnieri, Patrizia Pederzoli
R873 Discovery Miles 8 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Exploring the growing significance of the administration of justice in both democratic and non-democratic countries, often labeled as 'the judicialization of politics', this timely book considers how increased levels of interest in the analysis of judicial institutions have been triggered. It examines the expansion of the role of judges and courts in the political system and the mixed reactions generated by these developments. In this comprehensive book, Carlo Guarnieri and Patrizia Pederzoli draw on a wealth of experience in teaching and research in the field, moving beyond traditional legal analysis and providing a clear, concise and all-encompassing introduction to the phenomenon of the administration of justice and all of its traits. Facilitating a deeper understanding of the concrete dynamics characterizing the judicial system and its relationships with the political environment, it also offers a balanced assessment of the process of judicialization. Students and scholars interested in comparative law and politics, and law and society, who wish to broaden their understanding of courts and the operation of the judicial system will find this to be a valuable resource. The wide coverage of cases from both common and civil law traditions will also appeal to practitioners.

Gender Differences in Congressional Speeches 2022 (Hardcover): Dragana Bozic Lenard Gender Differences in Congressional Speeches 2022 (Hardcover)
Dragana Bozic Lenard
R1,923 Discovery Miles 19 230 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book studies gender differences in language used in the 113th United States Congress (January 2013-January 2015). The corpus was composed of all uninterrupted speeches of 100 words or more, which amounted to 672 speeches by the female and 2,983 by the male politicians. The speeches were analysed to determine language categories used by the politicians, including word count, grammatical categories, different topics, and punctuation categories, to study the differences in language use by the male and the female politicians. They were also used in examining some intragroup differences and correlations between variables. Several major gender differences emerged. The female politicians were shown to be more formal, critical and task-focused, while the male politicians were more socially oriented and elaborative, occupying the floor more than the female politicians. While the female politicians worked on establishing themselves as independent politicians, the male politicians embraced their collective identities. Also, the female politicians focused on raising the awareness of different health issues and providing support for patients and their families, the male politicians focused on the consequences and possible solutions to the problems. The analysis includes implications for political discourse, and gender disparities within that discourse, and will be of interest to researchers in both politics and political science, and in gender and diversity.

Conducting and Financing Low-carbon Transitions in China - A Governmentality Perspective (Hardcover): Le-Yin Zhang Conducting and Financing Low-carbon Transitions in China - A Governmentality Perspective (Hardcover)
Le-Yin Zhang
R2,873 Discovery Miles 28 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Utilizing a governmentality lens, this timely book offers an explanation for China's decarbonization performance in the early 21st century. Le-Yin Zhang investigates one of the most ambitious governing projects in history, analyzing the political rationalities of Chinese leaders for decarbonization and the governing techniques and technologies at multiple levels of governance. Demonstrating the potential of combining the use of juridical, administrative and governmental powers, Zhang holistically considers the success of the state in instigating low-carbon transitions in China and mitigating climate disaster. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the art of greening the Chinese financial system and how this links to a wider formulation of carbon governmentality, highlighting the rise of the carbon governmental state through a range of governmental technologies. Engaging with a wide range of primary data from both national and local levels, the author uncovers profound lessons in low-carbon transitions for other states in the making of a carbon neutral world. This cutting-edge book offers key insights for scholars and researchers of environmental governance and its importance in mitigating climate change, particularly those with a key focus on Chinese climate policy. It will also benefit government officials, researchers and consultants investigating potential avenues for low-carbon transition and climate action.

What makes a speech great? In this second volume of Great Scottish Speeches, more than 60 speeches made by Scots or by others in Scotland have been drawn together, not necessarily for their heart-stopping eloquence (although many have that), but as a testament to their enduring historical significance. These speeches each provide a snapshot of the social, cultural or political context in which they were made, a celebration of the power of great oratory across the ages. As you fight for fairness, you will always find in me a friend, a partner and a brother. Gordon Brown O sister, rule your realm in peace; I give up every claim to these domains. Mary Queen of Scots Such in my opinion is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined someday to solve the problems of the rich and the poor. Andrew Carnegie Vote, Jock.

For the last decade, progressive scholars determined to understand the 2008 financial crisis have examined the growth of US subprime mortgage debt in the period leading up to the collapse and how government policy supported this accumulation. However, the long history of the subprime crisis, its connection to the patterns of financial risk designated by the postwar international monetary system, has been all too often overlooked. Subsequently, the literature has considered the financial crisis as somehow disconnected from the specific evolution of the Bretton Woods financial system and the perceived safety of US Treasury bonds. With this, an important opportunity has been lost to develop critical political economy literature on financial markets. This book explores the long history of the subprime crisis through an original theoretic lens that sheds light on the institutional basis of global debt markets and the role of US Treasury debt in the international financial system. This book will introduce new ideas and appeal to university students and faculty interested in learning more about US financial power and the origins of the subprime crisis.
