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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Vote, Sweaty Sock. Talk properly. Alan Bissett
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.
