Book NATO in the Post Cold War Era

Download or read book NATO in the Post Cold War Era written by Massimo de Leonardis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the evolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its policies from the Cold War until today. NATO’s future cannot be fully understood without analysing its past: the origins of its structure and goals, and their transformation over time. By exploring NATO’s geopolitical and military role at crucial points throughout history, this edited volume considers the challenges and threats which have faced the alliance, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. It covers highly-debated and unresolved issues such as budgetary burden-sharing and the military transatlantic gap, the enlargement process, and the role of Asia in influencing NATO’s policies. Combining a historical approach with international perspectives, this book is an interdisciplinary read that will appeal to scholars of diplomatic history and international relations.

Book Emergence of a Bureaucracy

    Book Details:
  • Author : R. Burr Litchfield
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2014-07-14
  • ISBN : 1400858267
  • Pages : 430 pages

Download or read book Emergence of a Bureaucracy written by R. Burr Litchfield and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burr Litchfield traces the development of the patrician elite of Florence from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, the growth of a bureaucratic state in Tuscany during this period, and the changing relationship of the patricians to the state apparatus. His discussion of this largely neglected period of Italian history shows that the elite of the Florentine Renaissance Republic continued as the main component of the urban office-holding aristocracy under the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, and that they had an important role in the transition from Renaissance communal institutions to those of a regional state. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Book Multiple Populisms

Download or read book Multiple Populisms written by Paul Blokker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive interpretation of the multiple manifestations of populism using Italy, the only country amongst consolidated constitutional democracies in which populist political forces have been in government on various occasions since the early 1990s, as the starting point and benchmark. Populism is a complex, multi-faceted political phenomenon which redefines many of the essential characteristics of democracy; participation, representation, and political conflict. This book considers contemporary versions of populism that pose a real challenge to representative and constitutional democracy. Contributors provide an integrative interpretation of populism and analyse its principal historical, social and politico-legal variables to provide a multi-dimensional reflection on the concept of populism, comprehensive analysis of the populist phenomenon and a theoretical and comparative perspective on the diverse political experiences of populism. Based on conceptual and interdisciplinary reflections from expert authors, this book will be of great interest to scholars and post-graduate students of cultural studies, European studies, political sociology, political science, comparative politics, political philosophy, and political theory with an interest in a comparative and interdisciplinary theory of populism and its manifestations.

Book History

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Higham
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2016-04-14
  • ISBN : 1317247116
  • Pages : 416 pages

Download or read book History written by John Higham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1977, is a survey of European historiography from its origins in the historians of Greece and Rome, through the annalists and chroniclers of the middle ages, to the historians of the late eighteenth century. The author concentrates on those writers whose works fit into a specific category of writing, or who have inlfuence the course of later historical writing, though he does deal with some of the more specialist forms of medieval historiography such as the crusading writers, and chivalrous historians like Froissart. He maintains that ‘modern’ history did not develop until the 18th Century.

Book Routledge Library Editions  Historiography

Download or read book Routledge Library Editions Historiography written by Various and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 8677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest problem in historical scholarship, theoretically and practically, is the relation between historians and their subject matter. The past is gone and historians can only study its remnants. On what basis do scholars select certain facts from the mass of data left from the past? How do they explain the interrelationship of the facts they select? What criteria do they use to evaluate their subject? The 35 volumes in this set, originally published between 1926 and 1990 discuss and answer these essential questions faced by historians. The development of historical understanding during the 18th and 19th centuries was one of the most striking features of Western culture. Both historiography and historical thinking advanced as never before. The historial movment of the 19th century was perhaps second only to the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century in transforming Western thought. One consequence was extensive organisation and professionalization of research, which the volumes in this set reflect.

Book Rulership in France  15th 17th Centuries

Download or read book Rulership in France 15th 17th Centuries written by Ralph E. Giesey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common theme of these essays is the emergence of the modern state in late medieval and renaissance France. They examine, on the one hand, how the image of the king was enhanced in a variety of royal ceremonials as well as in the political writings of Jean Bodin and Cardin le Bret. The limits of the sovereign's authority, on the other hand, were forcefully enunciated in the works of François Hotman and Théodore de Bèze. The stability of the monarchy was maintained by the noblesse de robe, a new form of hereditary nobility that virtually owned the high judicial and administrative offices they held. The last two articles are devoted, first to the author's view of the concept of the French king's "two bodies" and second to the life of his mentor, Ernst H. Kantorowicz, who wrote the seminal work, The King's Two Bodies.
