Lectures on the Relation Between Law and Public Opinion in England During the Nineteenth Century - Bok av Albert Venn Dicey - Inbunden

Lectures on the Relation Between Law and Public Opinion in England During the Nineteenth Century - Bok av Albert Venn Dicey - Inbunden

The famed 1914 edition of this classic is one of the small handful of works that deserve to be read by Americans to understand the 1980s. Indeed, the final three chapters, describing the decline of will and consensus in late Victorian England, stand as a stark, unmistakable reminder that such national decline can happen again. Dicey was the most influential constitutional authority in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Modern politicians have often invoked the phrase \rule of law.\ So commonplace..

Rural Employment - Trends, Options, Choices - Bok av Ian Hodge - Inbunden

Rural Employment - Trends, Options, Choices - Bok av Ian Hodge - Inbunden

Originally published in 1981, the main thesis of this book is that rural labour markets are at the core of the problem of rural depopulation in development countries. Therefore, the success or failure of policies seeking to moderate the process of population decline is linked to the policy maker's ability to influence labour markets constructively. Migration in search of work has been a major cause of rural decline, and its reversal to bring about economically viable communities must be related to..

The Equilibrium of Parliamentary Law-Making - Comparative Perspectives on the Role of Courts in a Democracy - Bok av Viktor Kazai - Inbunden

This book is a response to the dangers posed to constitutional democracy by the continuous growth of executive power and the simultaneous decline of parliaments' role in policy formation. These phenomena are often manifested in the manipulation and even the violation of the rules of parliamentary law-making, called irregularities. If left without consequences, these irregularities can ultimately lead to the elimination of the procedural constraints imposed on the ruling political forces to prevent..

Cultural Narratives of Old Age in the Lives, Work, and Reception of Old Musicians - Bok av Joseph Straus - Inbunden

Cultural Narratives of Old Age in the Lives, Work, and Reception of Old Musicians - Bok av Joseph Straus - Inbunden

Operating largely within the world of European-American classical music, this book discusses the creative work of old musicians--composers, performers, listeners, and scholars--and how those forms of music-making are received and understood. Like everything else about old age, music-making is usually understood as a decline from a former height, a deficiency with respect to a youthful standard. Against this ageist mythology, this book argues that composing oldly, performing oldly, and listening oldly..
