Franco i Salazar Europejscy dyktatorzy
📙 Wydawnictwo von Borowiecky : Redakcja: Maciej Słęcki, Bohdan Szklarski W powszechnej opinii, także Polaków, którzy się tą problematyką interesują, generał Franco i profesor Salazar uratowali swe kraje - Hiszpanię i Portugalię - przed zarazą komunizmu. Powszechnie też wiadomo, że szczególnie Hiszpania bliska była opanowania przez komunistów, a za odepchnięcie ich od władzy musiała zapłacić słoną cenę wojny domowej, wielu tysięcy zamordowanych, zgwałconych, rannych i uwięzionych. Podziały, jakie tkwią w społeczeństwie hiszpańskim są tak głębokie, że dzielą je do dziś. Gdyby zaś w drugiej połowie lat 30. XX wieku komunizmowi nie oparła się Hiszpa...
Piety, Politics, and Pluralism
Piety, Politics, and Pluralism skillfully confronts the question: Is liberal democracy hostile to religion or is it compatible with the rights of believers? Prominent scholars analyze the controversy about religious freedom by examining two areas at the intersection of religion and politics in contemporary American society: the Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Oregon v. Smith and the events of the 2000 presidential campaign. Their essays remind us that in an increasingly pluralistic society, Americans must work continually to reconcile religious commitment and political obligation. Piety, Politics, and Pluralism is a groundbreaking work that will be indispensable to students of religion and politics, American politics, and constitutional law.
Quo Vadis America?
It is possible to identify at least three ways of conceptualizing change in American democracy. First, change is seen as a product of development. Here change is linear, it signifies progress. The second model sees change as coming from the reflection of the relationship between values and their institutional manifestations. It has a distinctly conservative character. The third approach sees change as an innovation, often a product of technological advancement. Each conceptualization of change stipulates a different set of problems which need to be addressed. The first - functional approach - is mainly concerned with the efficiency of the socio-political system. The second - intellectual approach - poses questions about the system stability and legitimacy. The third - mechanical approach - inquires about the system's adaptability. These and other dimensions of change are explored by the contributors in their analyses of domestic and foreign policy, cultural and social conflicts, economic relations, ideologies, and public discourse in contemporary America.
Refusing to Be Forgotten
The book discusses 20th-century Southern conservatism as embodied in the political writings of Melvin E. Bradford. Bradford's scholarship advances an alternative and relatively little-known interpretation of the American political tradition.
