An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance Enriched edition. Unveiling the Toll of Ignorance: A Critical Analysis of Social Inequality and Educational Reform in 19th-Century England【電子書籍】[ John Foster ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance," John Foster meticulously dissects the repercussions of widespread ignorance on society, weaving a compelling narrative that grapples with the essence of knowledge and its societal bearings. Written in the early 19th century, Foster employs a rich, rhetorical style characteristic of the Enlightenment, blending carefully reasoned arguments with passionate prose. His exploration into the moral and social dilemmas posed by ignorance reflects a deeply analytical approach, offering readers a comprehensive critique of contemporary socio-political dynamics and advocating for enlightenment through education and critical thought. John Foster, a prominent essayist and critic, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time. His own experiences in a rapidly changing world, marked by the burgeoning of industrialization and the reform movements that characterized early 19th-century Britain, compel him to confront the dangers of ignorance. His background in literature and philosophy provided the tools to articulate these issues with both precision and empathy, making his work a significant contribution to educational discourse. Readers interested in the interplay between knowledge and societal well-being will find Foster's essay both enlightening and troubling. This work not only serves as a historical artifact but also resonates with contemporary discussions about misinformation and the importance of education. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of societal progress through the lens of knowledge.

Brokers of Faith, Brokers of Empire Armenians and the Politics of Reform in the Ottoman Empire【電子書籍】[ Richard E. Antaramian ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Ottoman Empire enforced imperial rule through its management of diversity. For centuries, non-Muslim religious institutions, such as the Armenian Church, were charged with guaranteeing their flocks' loyalty to the sultan. Rather than being passive subjects, Armenian elites, both the clergy and laity, strategically wove the institutions of the Armenian Church, and thus the Armenian community itself, into the fabric of imperial society. In so doing, Armenian elites became powerful brokers between factions in Ottoman politicsーuntil the politics of nineteenth-century reform changed these relationships.＜/p＞＜p＞In ＜em＞Brokers of Faith, Brokers of Empire＜/em＞, Richard E. Antaramian presents a revisionist account of Ottoman reform, relating the contention within the Armenian community to broader imperial politics. Reform afforded Armenians the opportunity to recast themselves as partners of the state, rather than as brokers among factions. And in the course of pursuing such programs, they transformed the community's role in imperial society. As the Ottoman reform program changed how religious difference could be employed in a Muslim empire, Armenian clergymen found themselves enmeshed in high-stakes political and social contests that would have deadly consequences.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,947円

Frederic Seebohm, a prominent historian and scholar of the Renaissance period, gathers insights from his extensive studies in theology, philosophy, and literature. His background in historical criticism and a profound understanding of the socio-political landscape of Tudor England enabled Seebohm to portray these reformers authentically, shedding light on their motivations and the challenges they faced in their quests for religious and moral reform. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the dawn of modern thought and the humanist ideals that forged the path to contemporary society.

New International Financial System, The: Analyzing The Cumulative Impact Of Regulatory Reform【電子書籍】[ Douglas D Evanoff ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Ever since the Great Recession, the global financial regulatory system has undergone significant changes. But have these changes been sufficient? Have they created a new problem of over-regulation? Is the system currently in a better position than in the pre-Recession years, or have we not adequately addressed the basic causes of the financial crisis and resulting Great Recession?These were the questions and issues addressed in the seventeenth annual international banking conference held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in November 2014. In collaboration with the Bank of England, the theme of the conference was to examine the state of the new global financial system as it has evolved in response to significant market changes and regulatory reforms triggered by the global financial crisis. The papers from that conference are collected in this volume, with contributions from an international array of government officials, regulators, industry practitioners and academics.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,431円

24 hours to save the NHS The Chief Executive's account of reform 2000 to 2006【電子書籍】[ Nigel Crisp ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞24 hours to save the NHS. It was a political slogan but it hid a deeper question. Could the NHS survive? Could it continue to offer free health care for every citizen regardless of their ability to pay? Could the extraordinary, liberating ambition and dream of its founders 50 years before be maintained in the 21st Century - that everyone, no matter how poor or ill, should be freed from worrying about how to pay for their health care. By 2000 the NHS was in decline with falling standards and failing public support. Its supporters were beginning to question its viability, whilst its enemies were eager to catalogue its faults. Five years later we had an answer. Radical change and investment meant that the NHS had survived. Standards were improving and the NHS was expanding. Proof came from outside. Public satisfaction doubled and fewer people opted for private healthcare. Most tellingly, all the major political parties went into the 2010 general election committed to the NHS and to helping it develop and prosper. Today the question has changed. The NHS has survived but can it become sustainable at a time of austerity and as demand for its services grows? 24 hours to save the NHS shows what we can learn from the past, and describes what more we need to do to innovate for the future. It is the inside story of the last reforms written by the man charged with implementing them, and who was given unprecedented authority as both Chief Executive of the NHS and Permanent Secretary of the Department of Health. A very practical book - it describes the successes and failures as well as the pressures and the difficulties of making improvements in the fourth biggest organization in the world which employs 1.3 million people and spends 〓100 billion a year. It will be of interest to the general reader, health workers, policy makers, academics and students alike.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,381円
Revolt and Reform in Architecture's Academy Urban Renewal, Race, and the Rise of Design in the Public Interest【電子書籍】[ William Richards ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Revolt and Reform in Architecture’s Academy＜/em＞ uniquely addresses the complicated relationship between architectural education and urban renewal in the 1960s, which paved the way for what is today known as public interest design. Through an examination of curricular reforms at Columbia University’s and Yale University’s schools of architecture in the 1960s, this book translates the "urban crisis" through the experiences of two influential groups of architecture students, as well as their contributions to design’s lexicon.＜/p＞＜p＞The book argues that urban renewal and campus expansion half a century ago recast architectural education at two schools whose host cities, New York and New Haven, were critical sites for political, social, and urban upheaval in America. The urban challenges of that time are the same challenges rapidly growing cities face todayーaccess, equity, housing, and services.＜/p＞＜p＞As architects, architects in training, and architecture students continue to wrestle with questions surrounding how design may serve a broadly defined public interest, this book is a timely assessment of the forces that have shaped the debate.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	10,943円
A Passion for Leadership Lessons on Change and Reform from Fifty Years of Public Service【電子書籍】[ Robert M. Gates ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞From the former secretary of defense and author of the acclaimed #1 best-selling memoir ＜em＞Duty,＜/em＞ a characteristically direct, informed, and urgent assessment of why big institutions are failing us and how smart, committed leadership can effect real improvement regardless of scale.＜/p＞＜p＞Across the realms of civic and private enterprise alike, bureaucracies vitally impact our security, freedoms, and everyday life. With so much at stake, competence, efficiency, and fiscal prudence are essential, yet Americans know these institutions fall short. Many despair that they are too big and too hard to reform.＜/p＞＜p＞Robert Gates disagrees. Having led change successfully at three monumental organizationsーthe CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defenseーhe offers us the ultimate insider’s look at how major bureaus, organizations, and companies can be transformed, which is by turns heartening and inspiring and always instructive.＜/p＞＜p＞With practical, nuanced advice on tailoring reform to the operative culture (we see how Gates worked within the system to increase diversity at Texas A&M); effecting change within committees; engaging the power of compromise (“In the real world of bureaucratic institutions, you almost never get all you want when you want it”); and listening and responding to your team, Gates brings the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to civic duty to inspire others to lead desperately needed change.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,334円

The Reforming Treatises of Martin Luther Three 1520 Tracts on Church Reform: Priesthood of Believers, Sacraments Reformed, and Christian Liberty by Faith【電子書籍】[ Martin Luther ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞"Address to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation" is the first of the three tracts written by Martin Luther in 1520. In this work, he defined for the first time the signature doctrines of the priesthood of all believers and the two kingdoms. After the church made a strong attempt at drawing distinct lines on saying who had authority in the spiritual sphere and its matters. This division of Christians into spheres motivated Luther to write on the "three walls" the "Romanists" created to protect themselves from reform. "Prelude on the Babylonian Captivity of the Church" is a theological treatise, the second of the three major tracts from 1520. In this work Luther examines the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church in the light of his interpretation of the Bible. With regard to the Eucharist, he advocates restoring the cup to the laity, dismisses the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation but affirms the real presence of the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist, and rejects the teaching that the Mass is a sacrifice offered to God. "A Treatise on Christian Liberty" is the third of Luther's major reforming treatises of 1520. It developed the concept that as fully forgiven children of God, Christians are no longer compelled to keep God's law; however, they freely and willingly serve God and their neighbors. Luther also further develops the concept of justification by faith. In the treatise, Luther stated, "A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	300円
Moral China in the Age of Reform【電子書籍】[ Jiwei Ci ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Three decades of dizzying change in China's economy and society have left a tangible record of successes and failures. Less readily accessible but of no less consequence is the story, as illuminated in this book, of what China's reform has done to its people as moral and spiritual beings. Jiwei Ci examines the moral crisis in post-Mao China as a mirror of deep contradictions in the new self as well as in society. He seeks to show that lack of freedom, understood as the moral and political conditions for subjectivity under modern conditions of life, lies at the root of these contradictions, just as enhanced freedom offers the only appropriate escape from them. Rather than a ready-made answer, however, freedom is treated throughout as a pressing question in China's search for a better moral and political culture.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,245円

In addition to studying these policies and their implications, the chapters in this volume demonstrate how lessons from the past can be used to inform the direction of current discussions.

The volume also offers recommendations on implementing policies that address the unique concerns of structurally disadvantaged communities with particular emphasis on Black and Latinx people.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,333円

Thoughts on the Education of Daughters Enriched edition. Challenging Gender Norms: A Feminist Perspective on Education Reform【電子書籍】[ Mary Wollstonecraft ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Thoughts on the Education of Daughters," Mary Wollstonecraft presents a compelling critique of the contemporary education system for women, advocating for a rational and philosophical foundation in their learning. Written in 1787, this seminal work employs a clear, impassioned prose style that reflects Enlightenment ideals while challenging the subjugation of women through inadequate educational practices. Wollstonecraft posits that a well-rounded education is crucial not just for women's personal development but also for their ability to contribute meaningfully to society. Her arguments anticipate later feminist thought, intertwining notions of ethics, self-discipline, and the moral role of women in the family and society at large. Wollstonecraft's dedication to women's rights and education was informed by her own experiences as a governess and her observations of the societal limitations imposed on women. As a pioneering figure in feminist philosophy, her works often reflect a deep personal conviction about the benefits of education and rationality. Her life experiences, including her struggles against poverty and the constraints imposed by her gender, shaped her passionate appeal for change. I highly recommend "Thoughts on the Education of Daughters" to anyone interested in early feminist literature or the evolution of educational theory. This text not only sheds light on the historical context of women's education but also challenges readers to reconsider the legacies of inequality that persist today, making it a thought-provoking and essential read. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	300円
The Implementation Game The TRIPS Agreement and the Global Politics of Intellectual Property Reform in Developing Countries【電子書籍】[ Carolyn Deere ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞With the launch of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) emerged as a symbol of coercion in international economic relations. In the decade that followed, intellectual property became one of the most contentious topics of global policy debate. This book is the first full-length study of the politics surrounding what developing countries did to implement TRIPS and why. Based on a review of the evidence from 1995 to 2007, this book emphasises that developing countries exhibited considerable variation in their approach to TRIPS implementation. In particular, developing countries took varying degrees of advantage of the legal safeguards and options-commonly known as TRIPS 'flexibilities'-that the Agreement provides. To explain this variation, this book argues that TRIPS implementation must be understood as a complex political game played out among developing country governments and a range of stakeholders-developed countries, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), and industry groups. The contested nature of the TRIPS bargain spurred competing efforts to revise the terms of TRIPS and to influence global IP regulation more broadly. The intensity of the implementation game was amplified by an awareness among the various stakeholders that the IP reforms developing countries pursued would influence these ongoing international negotiations. The book attributes the variation in TRIPS implementation to the interplay between these global IP debates, international power pressures, and political dynamics within developing countries. The book includes historical analysis, compilations of evidence, and analysis supported by examples from across the developing world. ＜em＞The Implementation Game＜/em＞ will be of interest both to scholars of international relations, law, and international political economy as well as to policymakers, commentators, and activists engaged in debates on the global governance of intellectual property.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,623円
The Appellate Body of the WTO and Its Reform【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This is the first book that critically examines the reform of the Appellate Body (AB) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in light of the current crisis resulting from the U.S. blocking of the appointment of its members. The reform of the AB is critical, as the appointment crisis could lead to the demise of “the jewel in the crown,” which may even cause the dismantling of the WTO as a whole. This book covers various aspects of the crisis and its reform. Specifically, as the crisis cannot be fully understood without reviewing the role of the AB from the broader perspectives of the other functions of the WTO, the book examines the reform of the AB from the broader perspectives of the WTO governance. Additional focus is on the reform of the AB in relation to its specific functions. Available options are provided to address the AB crisis, as well as discussion of wider implications beyond the WTO. Contributed by world-renowned academics, experts, and practitioners in the field ofinternational economic law, this volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the AB crisis and its solutions.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	15,800円

The sermons reflect the broader historical context of industrialization and its impact on society, as Kingsley skillfully navigates themes of justice, community, and the innate dignity of each individual.

His firsthand observations of the struggles faced by the working class, combined with his rich literary background, informed his passion for championing moral reform and the importance of faith in everyday life.

Readers seeking to explore a rich tapestry of Victorian moral thought and its applicability to contemporary challenges will find "Town and Country Sermons" both enlightening and transformative.

Aspects of Law Reform An Insider's Perspective【電子書籍】[ Jack Straw ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The British justice system is an ancient one that has continually evolved to meet modern needs. In this set of three essays, originally presented as the Hamlyn lectures in 2012, Jack Straw reviews some of the most important recent reforms to the system of British justice and suggests key areas in need of further reform. He focuses in particular on the criminal courts, human rights, judicial appointments and the relationship between the UK Parliament, the domestic courts and the European Court of Human Rights. In all three cases, he argues that the British justice system is now in a healthier state than it has been in his lifetime, but that there remains much room - and need - for improvement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,173円
Fallacies of Anti-Reformers Enriched edition. Challenging Fallacies and Resisting Change: A Study in Social Reform and Political Satire【電子書籍】[ Sydney Smith ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Fallacies of Anti-Reformers," Sydney Smith meticulously dismantles the arguments presented by those resistant to social and political reform in early 19th-century England. Utilizing a blend of incisive wit and careful analysis, Smith's literary style is characterized by a sharp clarity and a persuasive eloquence, which allows him to dissect complex ideas without losing engagement. The text emerges as a vital contribution to the reformist discourse of the period, reflecting the broader Enlightenment values of reason and progress and serving as an incisive response to the prevailing conservatism of his time. Sydney Smith, an influential Anglican cleric and prominent social commentator, was deeply embedded in the intellectual milieu of his era. His experiences as a reformer, educator, and advocate for social change shaped his perspectives, compelling him to write this work as a call to action against stagnation. Smith's own advocacy for the abolition of slavery and educational reform highlights his commitment to progressive ideals, firmly rooting his arguments within the context of his life's work. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the philosophical debates surrounding social reform and the intellectual history of the 19th century. Smith's arguments not only illuminate the fallacies of anti-reform sentiment but also inspire modern readers to consider the ongoing relevance of reformist ideals in our contemporary sociopolitical landscape.

National Subcommissions of ICMI and their Role in the Reform of Mathematics Education【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞ICMI (or IMUK) was founded in 1908 and initiated the establishment of national subcommissions to launch national activities in response to the IMUK agenda and to promote the reform proposals within each member country.While ICMI’s activities were thoroughly studied, the activities of the national subcommissions are studied only very marginally. In the meantime, their work has been of major importance ? both because of their role in exploring and documenting the development of mathematics education at the beginning of the 20th century, and because of the changes and new ideas which they brought to their countries. Importantly, even if some results of their activities were analyzed within their countries in the corresponding languages, almost nothing is known internationally. This book is planned to deepen our knowledge on at least some of the national subcommissions. The book will interest both researchers and others interested in mathematics education and its development.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	14,585円
Reform of the International Monetary System Why and How?【電子書籍】[ John B. Taylor ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An argument that a rules-based reform of the international monetary system, achieved by applying basic economic theory, would improve economic performance.＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞In this book, the economist John Taylor argues that the apparent correlation of monetary policy decisions among different countriesーlargely the result of countries' concerns about the exchange rateーcauses monetary policy to deviate from effective policies that stabilize inflation and the economy. He argues that a rules-based reform of the international monetary system, achieved by applying basic economic theory, would improve economic performance.＜/p＞＜p＞Taylor shows that monetary polices in recent years have been deployed either defensively, as central banks counteract forces from abroad that affect the exchange rate, or offensively, as central banks attempt to move the exchange rate to gain a competitive advantage. Focusing on the years from 2005 to 2017, he develops an empirical framework to examine two monetary policy instruments: the policy interest rate (the more conventional of the two) and the size of the balance sheet. He finds that an international contagion in central bank decisions about the policy interest rate has accentuated the deviation from standard interest rate rules that have worked in the past. He finds a similar contagion in decisions about the size of the balance sheet. By considering a counterfactual policy in the estimated model, Taylor is able to estimate by how much the policy of recent years has increased exchange rate volatility. After several rounds of monetary actions and reactions aimed at exchange rates, Taylor finds, the international monetary system is left with roughly the same interest rate configuration, but much larger balance sheets to unwind.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,979円

Fixing Social Security The Politics of Reform in a Polarized Age【電子書籍】[ R. Douglas Arnold ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞How Social Security has shaped American politicsーand why it faces insolvency＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞Since its establishment, Social Security has become the financial linchpin of American retirement. Yet demographic trendsーlonger lifespans and declining birthratesーmean that this popular program now pays more in benefits than it collects in revenue. Without reforms, 83 million Americans will face an immediate benefit cut of 20 percent in 2034. How did we get here and what is the solution? In ＜em＞Fixing Social Security＜/em＞, R. Douglas Arnold explores the historical role that Social Security has played in American politics, why Congress has done nothing to fix its insolvency problem for three decades, and what legislators can do to save it.＜/p＞＜p＞What options do legislators have as the program nears the precipice? They can raise taxes, as they did in 1977, cut benefits, as they did in 1983, or reinvent the program, as they attempted in 2005. Unfortunately, every option would impose costs, and legislators are reluctant to act, fearing electoral retribution. Arnold investigates why politicians designed the system as they did and how between 1935 and 1983 they allocatedーand reallocatedーcosts and benefits among workers, employers, and beneficiaries. He also examines public support for the program, and why Democratic and Republican representatives, once political allies in expanding Social Security, have become so deeply polarized about fixing it.＜/p＞＜p＞As Social Security edges closer to crisis, ＜em＞Fixing Social Security＜/em＞ offers a comprehensive analysis of the political fault lines and a fresh look at what can be doneーbefore it is too late.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,045円
To Reform the World International Organizations and the Making of Modern States【電子書籍】[ Guy Fiti Sinclair ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book explores how international organizations (IOs) have expanded their powers over time without formally amending their founding treaties. IOs intervene in military, financial, economic, political, social, and cultural affairs, and increasingly take on roles not explicitly assigned to them by law. Sinclair contends that this 'mission creep' has allowed IOs to intervene internationally in a way that has allowed them to recast institutions within and interactions among states, societies, and peoples on a broadly Western, liberal model. Adopting a historical and interdisciplinary, socio-legal approach, Sinclair supports this claim through detailed investigations of historical episodes involving three very different organizations: the International Labour Organization in the interwar period; the United Nations in the two decades following the Second World War; and the World Bank from the 1950s through to the 1990s. The book draws on a wide range of original institutional and archival materials, bringing to light little-known aspects of each organization's activities, identifying continuities in the ideas and practices of international governance across the twentieth century, and speaking to a range of pressing theoretical questions in present-day international law and international relations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,748円
Congressional Government Enriched edition. Deciphering the Inner Workings of American Government: A Scholar's Insight into Congressional Dynamics and the Call for Reform【電子書籍】[ Thomas Woodrow Wilson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Congressional Government," Thomas Woodrow Wilson presents a critical analysis of the American political system, particularly focusing on the legislative branch and its relationship with the presidency. Written in 1885, Wilson's work employs a blend of historical narrative and political theory, articulating how the framers' intentions in crafting a government dependent on checks and balances often clash with the realities of political practice. Its literary context lies in the Progressive Era, where Wilson's insights highlight the growing frustrations with partisan gridlock and inefficiencies inherent in the congressional dominance of American politics. Thomas Woodrow Wilson, who would later become the 28th President of the United States, brings his deep understanding of government and political science to this seminal text. His academic background as a scholar and professor in political science, combined with his experiences as a political leader, informed his critique of congressional governance. Wilson's reflections reveal a passionate desire for a more effective and responsive government, reflecting the challenges of his own time as he envisioned how a reformed political structure could enhance democratic governance. "Congressional Government" is not just a historical account but a lasting commentary on the workings of American democracy. Readers interested in political theory, American history, or the evolution of governance will find Wilson's arguments compelling and prescient. This work serves as a foundational text for understanding the complexities of legislative power and remains relevant to contemporary discourse on governance in the United States.

Vicarious Liability Critique and Reform【電子書籍】[ Professor Anthony Gray ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The scope of vicarious liability has significantly expanded since its original conception. Today employers are being found liable for actions of employees that they did not authorise, and never would have authorised if asked. They are being held liable for an employee's criminal activity. In the related strict liability field of non-delegable duties, they are being held liable for wrongdoing of independent contractors.＜/p＞＜p＞Notions of strict liability have grown increasingly isolated in the law of tort, given the exponential growth in the tort of negligence. They require intellectual justification. Such a justification has proven to be elusive and largely unsatisfactory in relation to vicarious liability and to concepts of non-delegable duty. The law of three jurisdictions studied has now apparently embraced the 'enterprise risk' theory to rationalise the imposition of vicarious liability. This book subjects this theory to strong critique by arguing that it has many weaknesses, which the courts should acknowledge. It suggests that a rationalisation of the liability of an employer for the actions of an employee lies in more traditional legal doctrine which would serve to narrow the circumstances in which an employer is legally liable for a wrong committed by an employee.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,971円
