Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diem’s alliance with Washington has long been seen as a Cold War relationship gone bad, undone by either American arrogance or Diem’s stubbornness. Edward Miller argues that this misalliance was more than just a joint effort to contain communism. It was also a means for each side to shrewdly pursue its plans for nation building in South Vietnam.

Book The Radical Right in Switzerland

Download or read book The Radical Right in Switzerland written by Damir Skenderovic and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a tendency amongst scholars to view Switzerland as a unique case, and comparative scholarship on the radical right has therefore shown little interest in the country. Yet, as the author convincingly argues, there is little justification for maintaining the notion of Swiss exceptionalism, and excluding the Swiss radical right from cross-national research. His book presents the first comprehensive study of the development of the radical right in Switzerland since the end of the Second World War and therefore fills a significant gap in our knowledge. It examines the role that parties and political entrepreneurs of the populist right, intellectuals and publications of the New Right, as well as propagandists and militant groups of the extreme right assume in Swiss politics and society. The author shows that post-war Switzerland has had an electorally and discursively important radical right since the 1960s that has exhibited continuity and persistence in its organizations and activities. Recently, this has resulted in the consolidation of a diverse Swiss radical right that is now established at various levels within the political and public arena.

Book The Criminalisation of Youth

  • Author : Francis Bailleau
  • Publisher : ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 9054876018
  • Pages : 291 pages

Download or read book The Criminalisation of Youth written by Francis Bailleau and published by ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformations to the criminal justice system in Western societies are often linked with broader social and cultural changes, and this work presents the recent changes in juvenile justice in Canada and nine European countries and the sociopolitical context in which they take place. The study provides a comparison of the sentencing practices of each country, focusing on three dimensions related to the sanction practices: the custodial sanctions, the alternative sanctions, and the extension of the judicial thinking into relative fields such as school, training, and social policies. With clear and thoroughly developed research methods, this analysis illustrates that changes in juvenile justice policies are not specifically the result of differences in crime rates or the evolution of deviant youth behavior, but rather the effect of complex interactions with a variety of social, economical, cultural, and political factors.

  • Publisher : University of Notre Dame Pess
  • Release : 2001-04-15
  • ISBN : 026807707X
  • Pages : 203 pages

Download or read book Gregory the Great written by John C. Cavadini and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2001-04-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of renowned North American scholars gathered at the University of Notre Dame in 1993 for a symposium on Pope Gregory the Great (550-604). The essays collected in this volume are arranged in the order in which they were delivered, and several additional contributions are included as well. In these essays Gregory emerges as a figure both interpreting and interpreted: interpreting the past, receiving, synthesizing, and developing the teachings of earlier writers, and, by this very process, presenting a persuasive theological and pastoral agenda which itself inspires ongoing projects of interpretation and development in later periods up to and including our own.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici Ie Tome II de l'Arbitrage International Commercial. II y a quatre ans, a 1'occasion du Congres de Paris 1956 de l'Union Internationa1e des Avocats, que Ie premier volume a paru. Le Tome II sera offert par son rapporteur-general, notre confrere Ie Prof. Pieter Sanders, au Congres de Bale, September 1960, et il ne sera pas, nous en sommes convaincus, Ie dernier dans la serie de notre Manuel sur l' Arbitrage International Com mercial. II me semble que nous pouvons etre reconnaissants a tous ceux qui ont bien voulu cooperer a Ia composition de ce Manuel, qui presente un interet primordial pour la pratique de l'arbitrage commercial inter national. Je veux rappeler que Ie premier volume nous offrait deja une description du droit et de la pratique de I'arbitrage dans 16 pays de 1'Europe de I'Ouest et aux Etats-Unis. Le deuxieme volume y ajoute des contributions sur Ie droit et la pratique de 1'arbitrage dans 5 pays de l' Amerique latine et 7 de 1'Europe de l'Est. En vue de I'accroissement des relations economiques entre l'Europe de 1'Ouest et de l'Est et entre 1'Europe d'une part et les deux Ameriques d'autre part, les deux volumes de notre Manuel presentent une source d'information inappreciable. II apparait de plus en plus que la OU se developpe Ie commerce international, l'arbitrage suit. Pour la solution des conflits commerciaux internationaux l'arbitrage s'avere dans beau coup de cas comme la voie la plus indiquee.

Book Making Sense of the Vietnam Wars

Download or read book Making Sense of the Vietnam Wars written by Mark Philip Bradley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making sense of the wars for Vietnam has had a long history. The question "why Vietnam?" dominated American and Vietnamese political life for much of the length of the wars and has continued to be asked in the decades since they ended. This volume brings together the work of eleven scholars to examine the conceptual and methodological shifts that have marked the contested terrain of Vietnam War scholarship. Editors Marilyn Young and Mark Bradley's superb group of renowned contributors spans the generations--including those who were active during wartime, along with scholars conducting research in Vietnamese sources and uncovering new sources in the United States, former Soviet Union, China, and Eastern and Western Europe. Ranging in format from top-down reconsiderations of critical decision-making moments in Washington, Hanoi, and Saigon, to microhistories of the war that explore its meanings from the bottom up, these essays comprise the most up-to-date collection of scholarship on the controversial historiography of the Vietnam Wars.

Book Cauldron of Resistance

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jessica M. Chapman
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2013-02-19
  • ISBN : 0801467411
  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book Cauldron of Resistance written by Jessica M. Chapman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1955, Ngo Dinh Diem organized an election to depose chief-of-state Bao Dai, after which he proclaimed himself the first president of the newly created Republic of Vietnam. The United States sanctioned the results of this election, which was widely condemned as fraudulent, and provided substantial economic aid and advice to the RVN. Because of this, Diem is often viewed as a mere puppet of the United States, in service of its Cold War geopolitical strategy. That narrative, Jessica M. Chapman contends in Cauldron of Resistance, grossly oversimplifies the complexity of South Vietnam's domestic politics and, indeed, Diem's own political savvy. Based on extensive work in Vietnamese, French, and American archives, Chapman offers a detailed account of three crucial years, 1953-1956, during which a new Vietnamese political order was established in the south. It is, in large part, a history of Diem's political ascent as he managed to subdue the former Emperor Bao Dai, the armed Hoa Hao and Cao Dai religious organizations, and the Binh Xuyen crime organization. It is also an unparalleled account of these same outcast political powers, forces that would reemerge as destabilizing political and military actors in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Chapman shows Diem to be an engaged leader whose personalist ideology influenced his vision for the new South Vietnamese state, but also shaped the policies that would spell his demise. Washington's support for Diem because of his staunch anticommunism encouraged him to employ oppressive measures to suppress dissent, thereby contributing to the alienation of his constituency, and helped inspire the organized opposition to his government that would emerge by the late 1950s and eventually lead to the Vietnam War.

Book Philon D Alexandrie

  • Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
  • Release : 2009-07-02
  • ISBN : 1725224003
  • Pages : 220 pages

Download or read book Philon D Alexandrie written by Jean Danielou SJ and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philo of Alexandria, according to Cardinal Danielou, represents the first attempt to correct Greek philosophical thought with biblical revelation. Philo was a faithful Jew who studiously avoided syncretism with pagan religion: biblical worship could only be radically monotheistic. But Philo represents more than a spiritual master; he inaugurated Judeo-Christian philosophy itself. But even here, Philo avoided syncretism with Platonism and remained highly orthodox. Modifying Greek philosophy at the points where it conflicted with biblical revelation, Philo built the fundamentals of a Judeo-Christian way of looking at the world that would have a profound influence for centuries to come.
