Book Synopsis Authority in Search of Liberty by : Nico Randeraad
Download or read book Authority in Search of Liberty written by Nico Randeraad and published by Rozenberg Publishers/Thela Thesis. This book was released on 1993 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most enduring problems facing the Italian government has been how to direct and control the activities of local government. In the first decades after Unification (1861) the reform of local administration was a central part of the vast programme of modernization of the state. At a local level, the leaders in this modernization project were the prefects, the appointed provincial representatives of the state. This book investigates their role in the genesis of local self-government, the financial responsibility of municipalities, and an early form of parliamentary democracy. It offers an alternative to the prevailing negative view of the role of the prefects as delegates of the central government. Perhaps the most striking conclusion is that the Italian centralized system did not produce either the benefits its founding fathers had expected, or the defects its opponents had anticipated. On the one hand, although the first prefects of the unitary state put their heart and soul into the administrative project, aiming at economic and moral progress, it was difficult to implement in large parts of the country. Most difficult was the South because of the wide economic, political and cultural gap with the North existing at Unification. On the other hand, the bureaucratic centralization developed simultaneously with representative local government based on direct elections. This democracy, limited as it was, left enough room for the local elites to pursue their own interests, even when they did not comply with the wishes of the central government and thwarted the original liberal project.

Download or read book No Treason written by Lysander Spooner and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1870, this essay by the American anarchist and political philosopher Lysander Spooner is here reproduced. Described by Murray Rothbard as “the greatest case for anarchist political philosophy ever written”, Spooner’s lengthy essay is still referenced by anarchists and philosophers today. In it, he argues that the American Civil War violated the US Constitution, thus rendering it null and void. An indispensable read for political historians both amateur and professional alike. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Book Synopsis In Search of Liberty by : Ronald Angelo Johnson
Download or read book In Search of Liberty written by Ronald Angelo Johnson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of Liberty explores how African Americans, since the founding of the United States, have understood their struggles for freedom as part of the larger Atlantic world. The essays in this volume capture the pursuits of equality and justice by African Americans across the Atlantic World through the end of the nineteenth century, as their fights for emancipation and enfranchisement in the United States continued. This book illuminates stories of individual Black people striving to escape slavery in places like Nova Scotia, Louisiana, and Mexico and connects their eff orts to emigration movements from the United States to Africa and the Caribbean, as well as to Black abolitionist campaigns in Europe. By placing these diverse stories in conversation, editors Ronald Angelo Johnson and Ousmane K. Power-Greene have curated a larger story that is only beginning to be told. By focusing on Black internationalism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, In Search of Liberty reveals that Black freedom struggles in the United States were rooted in transnational networks much earlier than the better-known movements of the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis In Search of Authority by : Paul Avis
Download or read book In Search of Authority written by Paul Avis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglican theology has been a hotbed of debate about the issue of authority since the Reformation. What do we really appeal to when attempting to decide matters of doctrine, worship, ministry or ethics? The debate is very much alive today, between Evangelical, Liberal and Catholic Anglicans around the world. This proposed book focuses on the understanding of authority in Anglican theology. It looks at the way that Anglican theologians, in the past and today, have developed their theories of authority in relation to burning issues. Avis critiques them in a continuous dialogue or running commentary and set them in an ecumenical context, comparing Anglican positions with Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant ones. In each area - Bible, tradition, reason, experience -he sets out a new understanding of authority in a constructive and persuasive way, moving to a series of overall conclusions and recommendations. The sharp critiques of various positions will help to make it the subject of discussion and debate.
Book Synopsis In Search of Wealth and Power by : Benjamin Scwartz
Download or read book In Search of Wealth and Power written by Benjamin Scwartz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a serious effort to divine the secret of the West's success in achieving wealth and power, Yen Fu, a Chinese thinker, undertook, at the turn of the century, years of laborious translation and commentary on the work of such thinkers as Spencer, Huxley, Adam Smith, Mill, and Montesquieu. In addition to the inevitable difficulties involved in translating modern English into classical Chinese, Yen Fu was faced with the formidable problem of interpreting and making palatable many Western ideas which were to a large extent antithetical to traditional Chinese thought. In an absorbing study of Yen Fu's translations, essays, and commentaries, Benjamin Schwartz examines the modifications and consequent revaluation of these familiar works as they were presented to their new audience, and analyzes the impact of this Western thought on the Chinese culture of the time. Drawing on a unique knowledge of both intellectual traditions, Schwartz describes the diverse and complex effects of this confrontation of Eastern and Western philosophies and provides a new vantage point to assess and appreciate these two disparate worlds.

Book Synopsis In Search of the American Spirit by : Gregory S. Butler
Download or read book In Search of the American Spirit written by Gregory S. Butler and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He found his own views compatible with those of Brownson, who not only disputed the prevalent theory that morality has no place in politics but argued that morality is an integral part of the political process. Extensively utilizing Brownson's lesser-known writings, Butler examines, in chronological order, the phases of Brownson's personal and spiritual development, thereby assessing the importance and contemporary relevance of his thought. He gives special attention to Brownson's belief that the moral interpretation assigned to American political symbols - Liberty, Equality, the Rights of Man - are derived from the American understanding of the nature and destiny of the human soul. Brownson eventually came to believe that humankind can only progress by finding inspiration in the divine and that the American political order must be based in the Christian, especially the Roman Catholic, moral tradition.
Book Synopsis Power Versus Liberty by : James H. Read
Download or read book Power Versus Liberty written by James H. Read and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does every increase in the power of government entail a loss of liberty for the people? James H. Read examines how four key Founders--James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, and Thomas Jefferson--wrestled with this question during the first two decades of the American Republic. Power versus Liberty reconstructs a four-way conversation--sometimes respectful, sometimes shrill--that touched on the most important issues facing the new nation: the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federal authority versus states' rights, freedom of the press, the controversial Bank of the United States, the relation between nationalism and democracy, and the elusive meaning of "the consent of the governed." Each of the men whose thought Read considers differed on these key questions. Jefferson believed that every increase in the power of government came at the expense of liberty: energetic governments, he insisted, are always oppressive. Madison believed that this view was too simple, that liberty can be threatened either by too much or too little governmental power. Hamilton and Wilson likewise rejected the Jeffersonian view of power and liberty but disagreed with Madison and with each other. The question of how to reconcile energetic government with the liberty of citizens is as timely today as it was in the first decades of the Republic. It pervades our political discourse and colors our readings of events from the confrontation at Waco to the Oklahoma City bombing to Congressional debate over how to spend the government surplus. While the rhetoric of both major political parties seems to posit a direct relationship between the size of our government and the scope of our political freedoms, the debates of Madison, Hamilton, Wilson, and Jefferson confound such simple dichotomies. As Read concludes, the relation between power and liberty is inherently complex.

Download or read book Liberty and the Search for Identity written by Iv n Zolt n D‚nes and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberalism was not only the first modern ideology, it was also the first secular movement to have an international presence. The scholarly articles in this collection, skillfully edited by Ivan Z. Denes, examine liberal ideas and movements from Scotland to the Ottoman Empire. The volume seeks to uncover and analyze various relationships between liberalisms and nationalisms, national identities and modernity concepts, nations and empires, nation-states and nationalities, traditions and modernities, images of the self and the others, modernization strategies and identity creations. This volume provides an important historical analysis that is essential toward understanding the questions and motivations of liberalism in the European Union today. This is, therefore, a timely contribution to both historiography and contemporary politics. From these studies we gain a number of important insights not only into the variety of liberal nationalisms, but also into the unity and diversity of European history.
