P Abbott

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are always at the top of presidential rankings. But what about those presidents who consistently appear at or near the bottom of these lists? Based on the insights found in Shakespeare's treatment of two bad kings, Abbott identifies two kinds of bad presidents and examines the case for including eleven in this category. In each case study, from John Tyler to Richard Nixon (and possibly George W. Bush), he finds a tipping point that places them in this unenviable category. Abbott concludes by discussing why we elected these bad presidents in the first place and how we might avoid adding future bad presidents to the list.

Accidental Presidents - Death, Assassination, Resignation, and Democratic Succession (Hardcover): P Abbott Accidental Presidents - Death, Assassination, Resignation, and Democratic Succession (Hardcover)
P Abbott
R1,470 Discovery Miles 14 700 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

One of the commonly stated virtues of modern constitutional democracies is their capacity to insure reliable and accepted methods of political succession through election. This book focuses on one particular, though not uncommon, complication in the democratic mode of political succession: American vice-presidents who assume office as a result of the death, assassination or resignation of a president. Three basic strategies by "accidental presidents" to establish and enhance their legitimacy are identified and evaluated. While none are reliably successful, each provides a lens to study the nature of presidential power and authority as well as to contribute to a democratic theory of succession.

Jason P. Abbott
R2,682 Discovery Miles 26 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

It is a common belief that the Internet can provide real opportunities for political transformation, especially in societies where freedom of speech is constrained by the government. This volume explores the Internet's political and developmental impact by analyzing it at the local, regional, and international levels. The essays combine to show that limited Internet accessibility in some countries has led to a problematic digital divide.

Entry subjects range from the two giants of Asia, China and India, to the microstates in the Pacific. Each incisive essay takes a fresh look at the issues facing the Asia-Pacific region. Topics include:

Censorship and participation

The Internet's role in the global economy

Cyber-threats and Cyber-activisms

The Digital Diaspora

E-Mobilization and E-Democracy
