Product Description:
In the most thorough examination to date, David P. Currie analyzes from a legal perspective the work of the first six congresses and of the executive branch during the Federalist era, with a view to its significance for constitutional interpretation. He concludes that the original understanding of the Constitution was forged not so much in the courts as in the legislative and executive branches, an argument of crucial importance for scholars in constitutional law, history, and government.

* Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
Appropriately centred on France, the essays in this volume make a significant contribution to the study of political life and thought during the ancien r茅gime. Scholars in the field of early modern Europe consider various ways in which contemporaries in different walks of life expressed their understanding of, and participation in, the political community, using new approaches drawn from cultural history, the history of ideologies and a resurgence of interest in the history of institutions. Subjects discussed include institutional rivalries and how they complicated efforts to mount opposition to government policies; political thought and concepts such as sovereignty, conciliarism, and dominum; and how contemporary understanding of the political order was worked out in a cultural context. The volume also suggests new directions for research. Contributors: ADRIANNA E. BAKOS, FREDERIC J. BAUMGARTNER, JAMES H. BURNS, SIR GEOFFREY ELTON, JULIAN H. FRANKLIN, RICHARDM.

Public Disputation, Power, and Social Order in Late Antiquity (Transformation of the Classical Heritage)
By Richard Lim
* Publisher:University of California Press
* Number Of Pages:296
* Publication Date:1995-05-25
* ISBN-10 / ASIN:0520085779
* ISBN-13 / EAN:9780520085770
Product Description:
Richard Lim explores the importance of verbal disputation in Late Antiquity, offering a rich socio-historical and cultural examination of the philosophical and theological controversies. He shows how public disputation changed with the advent of Christianity from a means of discovering truth and self-identification to a form of social competition and "winning over" an opponent. He demonstrates how the reception and practice of public debate, like other forms of competition in Late Antiquity, were closely tied to underlying notions of authority, community and social order.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up?These quality books present informative, comprehensive examinations of two important aspects of human society. Levinson's title contains broad-based articles that illustrate the complex relationship that exists among climate, weather, land forms, and plants and humankind's sociological and spiritual environment. The alphabetically arranged entries stress traditional, non-Western cultures. Western societies are more apparent in Strouthes's title. Each entry examines how law and politics function in different cultures. Extensive examples illustrate the concepts. Articles in both volumes conclude with cross-references and bibliographies. Although somewhat scholarly, the books are readable and interesting and would be useful in sociology, anthropology, and science curriculums. Black-and-white photographs complement the texts.?Judy R.

Turkeys Accession to the European Union: An Unusual Candidacy (The Constantinos Karamanlis Institute for Democracy Series on European and International Affairs)

* ISBN-13 / EAN:9783540881964
Product Description:
European views on Turkey’s membership in the EU have been split between those in support of its full integration and those advocating a privileged partnership. To the extent that many of the latter proposals imply that Turkey will be partially integrated within Europe in certain areas, the question of Turkey’s accession is probably not about ‘if’, but about ‘how much’ integration there will be within the Union’s structures. The purpose of this book is not to offer a definitive response to this question. The book aims instead to examine the complexity of the issues pertaining to Turkey’s prospective EU membership by presenting several, often divergent, accounts
of the political, security and socio-economic dimensions of the entire process. The book provides a forum for an exchange of views among distinguished scholars and researchers from different national backgrounds in order to contribute to the ongoing public discussion of Turkey’s accession.
* Sophisticated, informative and refreshing in its argumentation, the book provides an excellent overview of the complexities of Turkey’s accession to the EU membership.
Professor Mustafa Aydin, TOBB University of Economics
and Technology
* A refreshing view from the European periphery, an original mirror of the Union's central challenges.

The New Law and Economic Development: A Critical Appraisal

* Publication Date:2006-08-21
* ISBN-10 / ASIN:0521677572
* ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521677578
Product Description:
This book is a collection of essays that identify and analyze a new phase in thinking about the role of law in economic development and in the practices of development agencies that support law reform. The authors trace the history of theory and doctrine in this field, relating it to changing ideas about development and its institutional practices. The essays describe a new phase in thinking about the relation between law and economic development and analyze how this rising consensus differs from previous efforts to use law as an instrument to achieve social and economic progress. In analyzing the current phase, these essays also identify tensions and contradictions in current practice. This work is the first comprehensive treatment of this emerging paradigm, situating it within the intellectual and historical framework of the most influential development models since World War II.

Managing Urban America (Public Administration and Public Policy)
By David R. Morgan, Robert E. England
* Publisher:Chatham House
Publishers
* Number Of Pages:432
* Publication Date:1999-02
* ISBN-10 / ASIN:1566430658
* ISBN-13 / EAN:9781566430654
Product Description:
Urban managers continue to do what they have done for decades: manage conflict, adapt to shifting demographics, balance their own source funds with intergovernmental revenues, respond to federal and state mandates, negotiate with other localities in their same metropolitan area, and deliver goods and services. But managers today are confronted with new challenges in what has become "fend for yourself" federalism. City executives must do more with less while at the same time figure out ways to harness the power of new technologies and react to a globalized world and economy. It is no wonder then that even great managers can fail at urban administration. To succeed, they must understand the nature of community values, the pitfalls of bureaucratic inertia, and the craft of leadership--that is, the politics of urban management.
Morgan, England, and Pelissero offer a forward-looking account of this new urban management environment. In a comprehensive update, the authors have reorganized the book's structure to better fit the challenges facing today's cities, and make even greater use of systems theory as an analytic framework. Featuring discussions of the New Public Management model, the impacts of globalization, changes in service delivery, urban planning, economic development, and program evaluation, they discuss key productivity enhancements that emphasize results and accountability. The authors then focus on the impact of citizen participation, e-government, the events of 9/11, and intergovernmental relations as examples of significant environmental factors that impinge on the management of modern cities. In addition, every case study in the book is brand new and many include information on "Connecting to the Internet" and "Profiles of Urban Practitioners and Scholars."
