The Legal and Moral Aspects of International Trade - Freedom and Trade: Volume Three (Hardcover): Geraint Parry, Geraint B... The Legal and Moral Aspects of International Trade - Freedom and Trade: Volume Three (Hardcover)

R4,739 Discovery Miles 47 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Free trade has always been a moral and political, as well as economic, programme. Although free traders call for the liberalization of the economy from governmental interference, it is understood that international exchange can only operate within a framework of the law. Defenders of free trade believe not only will it promote economic prosperity, but that it enhances worldwide peace and understanding by substituting commercial competition for the pursuit of national goals by military means. Protection, on the other hand, has been defended as safeguarding those vulnerable to the fluctuations of world markets. This collection of essays by international lawyers and moral philosophers arises from a multi-disciplinary conference to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. It examines legal, moral and political dimensions of free trade. Contributors explore issues such as: the ethics and rules of competition; the idea of global justice; the problem of international exploitation; the protection of the environment; the regulation of services; and international taxation and the justifications for the barriers to trade. The book seeks to provide an insight i

Geraint Parry
R26,498 Discovery Miles 264 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Routledge is proud to reissue this classic group of works from the 1970s. Among the titles in this series are writings by leading lights in the field of contemporary philosophical scholarship.
Available as a full set or as single volumes, the collection includes:
Volume 1: Hegel by Raymond Plant * 0-415-32683-4
Demonstrating the interconnection between his political and metaphysical writings, this book provides a point of entry into Hegel's system of ideas. Condemned unread, and when read far too often misunderstood, Hegel's thought has once more begun to make its impact on contemporary ideas with many of today's most important social and political thinkers
Volume 2: Edmund Burke by Frank O'Gorman * 0-415-32684-2
A concise and readable account of Burke's political philosophy. As well as examining the foundation for Burke's thought, the book also provides much needed connections between the fields of history and political theory. Critical comment and analysis of Burke's attitudes to the problems of the second half of the eighteenth century are also included.
Volume 3: Karl Marx by Michael Evans * 0-415-32685-0
This book provides an interpretative introduction to the political thought of Karl Marx. The approach is both historical and analytical, with emphasis placed on developments and changes in Marx's thought. The book is firmly based on a close reading of primary sources including recently discovered documents on the Communist League, the drafts of Marx's Civil War in France and the Grundrisse manuscripts.
Volume 4: John Stuart Mill by R J Halliday * 0-415-32686-9
Offering a significant new interpretation of Mill's political thought, Mill's ambivalentattitude to democracy is carefully examined. The implications for modern democracy of Mill's views on consensus and leadership, bureaucracy and participation, equality and liberty emerge from a deep understanding of Mill's place in 19th century ideas.
Volume 5: Bentham by James Steintrager * 0-415-32687-7
Challenging the accepted interpreations of Bentham's political thought and in particular the landmark criticism by John Studart Mill and Elie Halevy, the author consulted the extensive manuscript collections left by Bentham to the University of London and the British museum in the preparation of this volume.
Volume 6: Hobbes: Morals and Politics by D D Raphael (with a new preface) * 0-415-32688-5
Hobbes' writing surprises, shocks, amuses and above all, stimulates criticism both of himself and of our conventional wisdom. This book is both expository and critical and concentres on Hobbes' ethical and political theory, but also considering the effect on these of his metaphysics.
Updated, with a new preface especially for this re-issue which brings together recent scholarship on Hobbes, a particular useful feature of the bookis the new, critical bibliography.
Volume 7: Aristotle by John B Morrall * 0-415-32689-3
This volume is the only account published in English in the 20th century to be exclusively devoted to an interpretation of Aristotle's political thought (as distinct from commentaries, translations and works on Aristotelean philosophy in general). It places Aristotle in his background of the Greek political experience.
Volume 8: John Locke by Geraint Parry * 0-415-32690-7
From earliest times Locke's writings have been the subject of controversy. Anintellectual caught up in the politics of late 17th century England, his writings on politics reveal a man attempting to combine an analysis of the underlying principles of society with a deep commitment to a specific political stance and party.

Volume 9: Plato by Robert Hall * 0-415-32691-5

Political Elites (Paperback, New Ed): Geraint Parry Political Elites (Paperback, New Ed)
Geraint Parry
R764 Discovery Miles 7 640 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Elites have been described both as the bulwarks of democracy and its very antithesis. 'Political Elites', first published in 1969, reviews the literature on the role of elites in politics. It deals with both the 'classic' elite theorists - Mosca, Pareto, Michels, Burnham and C. Wright Mills - and with many of the empirical and theoretical works on elites by modern political scientists and sociologists. It seeks to clarify the central terms of elite discourse, some of which have entered the everyday political vocabulary - 'elitism', 'power elite', 'establishment', 'elite consensus'' , 'iron law of oligarchy' and 'mass'. It explores the ways in which the descriptions of power relationships can subtly be infiltrated by the values of the observers. For this ECPR Classics edition Professor Parry has added an introduction reviewing significant new developments in elite political science.

Local Politics and Participation in Britain and France (Paperback): Albert Mabileau, George Moyser, Geraint Parry, Patrick... Local Politics and Participation in Britain and France (Paperback)

R1,161 Discovery Miles 11 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Local participation can and does influence the political process. Local Politics and Participation in Britain and France, first published in 1990, provides a unique comparative study of the involvement of average citizens in local politics and government between national elections. The work of Professor Mabileau and his colleagues will illuminate the nature of contemporary processes of participation at a time when the local level of government, administration and participation democracy are topics of renewed interest in all Western democracies. French and British teams explore the salient differences between the two local government systems - both of which have been reformed. Through a series of local case studies, they examine levels of individual and group participation, mobilisation into single-issue protest groups, links between councillors and the local electorate, and the importance of local context in participation patterns. Local Politics and Participation in Britain and France is a product of collaborative research carried out at the Universities of Manchester and Bordeaux. The results are based on surveys of ordinary people as well as on interviews with local leaders. They will be equally of interest to academics - students and specialists of British and French politics, local government, participation and democratic theory - and to local party workers and activists.

R1,501 Discovery Miles 15 010 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Why do some people involve themselves in politics and others not? Which issues are they concerned with? What do they get out of it? Answering such questions is fundamental to understanding political life and the workings of liberal democracies. This book presents the results of one of the most extensive surveys ever undertaken on the levels and patterns of political involvement in Britain. It is based on the findings of a sample survey of nearly 1,600 people across England, Scotland and Wales as well as a further 1,600 men and women and nearly 300 leaders in six specially selected and contrasting communities. These people were asked about the extent to which they had taken political action, particularly at a local level, and the authors found higher levels of participation than previous research has revealed. They analyse these findings in terms of age, gender, social class and education and look at the reactions of local leaders to the efforts people make to influence them.
