Equipped with the powerful tools of emotional...

The pursuit of political power is strategic as never before. Ministers, MPs, and candidates parrot the same catchphrases. The public service has become politicized. And decision making is increasingly centralized in the Prime Minister’s Office. What is happening to our democracy? In this persuasive book, Alex argues that political parties and government are beholden to the same marketing principles used by the world’s largest corporations. Called branding, the strategy demands repetition of spoken, written, and visual messages, predetermined by the leader’s inner circle. Marland warns that public sector branding is an unstoppable force that will persist no matter who is in power. It also creates serious problems for parliamentary democracy that must be confronted. This book will fascinate anyone who is interested in how Ottawa works and where Canadian politics is headed.

Transnationale Biographien

Dieses Buch erzählt die transnationale Geschichte der Benediktinermission in Tanganjika. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Biographien der Patres und Brüder, die vom Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs bis zur politischen Unabhängigkeit des Landes für die Missionsbenediktiner von St. Ottilien im heutigen Tansania tätig waren. Die so genannten „Ostafrika-Missionare“ kamen zunächst aus Bayern und der Schweiz, seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg auch aus den USA und aus dem „Missionsgebiet“ selbst. Durch die Aktivitäten dieser bislang wenig beachteten Akteure der Globalisierung wurden geographische, politische und physische Räume miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt und gleichzeitig neue soziale und kommunikative Räume geschaffen.

First among Unequals

Canadians are told that provincial premiers wield considerable sway. Critics decry premiers as autocrats and dictators, while supporters label them as altruists and great leaders. In Newfoundland and Labrador the premier is expected to be the province's overlord, a patriotic defender of provincial interests, and the decision-maker who brokers competing policy priorities. But does a premier have as much power over government policy decisions as is popularly believed? First among Unequals, a detailed enquiry into the administration of Premier Danny Williams and the first year of his successor Kathy Dunderdale, suggests that the power of the premier is exaggerated by the media, critics, politic...

Zen Sourcebook

Introduction by Paula Arai. This is the first collection to offer selections from the foundational texts of the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Zen traditions in a single volume. Through representative selections from their poetry, letters, sermons, and visual arts, the most important Zen Masters provide students with an engaging, cohesive introduction to the first 1200 years of this rich -- and often misunderstood -- tradition. A general introduction and notes provide historical, biographical, and cultural context; a note on translation, and a glossary of terms are also included.
