Download or read book The Impact of Napoleon written by Brendan Simms and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-27 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Prussia's response to Napoleon and Napoleonic expansionism in the years before the crushing defeats of Auerstadt and Jena, a period of German history as untypical as it was dramatic. Between the years 1797 and 1806 the main fear of Prussian statesmen was French power, rather than revolution from below. This threat spawned a foreign-policy debate characterised by geopolitical thinking: the belief that Prussian policy was conditioned by her unique geographic situation at the heart of Europe. The book breaks new ground both methodologically and empirically. By combining high-political and geopolitical analysis, it is able to present a more comprehensive and nuanced picture than earlier interpretations. The book also draws on a very wide range of sources, official and unofficial, many previously unused.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the bestselling landmark work on the history of the modern state Writing in The Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order "magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition." In The New York Times Book Review, Michael Lind described the book as "a major achievement by one of the leading public intellectuals of our time." And in The Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed "this is a book that will be remembered. Bring on volume two." Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. Taking up the essential question of how societies develop strong, impersonal, and accountable political institutions, Fukuyama follows the story from the French Revolution to the so-called Arab Spring and the deep dysfunctions of contemporary American politics. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West. A sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.

Download or read book Democracy and Public Management Reform written by Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-10-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building the Republican State is an insightful analysis of the new state and the new public management that is emerging in the twenty-first century. It presents the historical stages that led to the modern state, identifies a crisis of the nation-state and its origins in a fiscal crisis and in globalization, and situates public management in the last phase - the social-liberal and republican state. To understand such stages the author develops the theory of republican rights, as a fourth type of citizenship right, after the civil, the political, and the social rights. The book contains an original model of reform, in which the roles of the state, the forms of ownership, the types of public administration, and the organizational-institutions indicated in each situation are put together. Additionally, the book discusses the political theories behind the reform, and its political implications. Throughout the book, the author underlines the complementary roles of markets and the state, and the importance of building state capacity to assure administrative efficiency, always having in count the 'democratic constraint', i.e., the prevalence of the political over the economic realm. This is essential reading both for those studying political theory and government reform, as well as for anyone interested in state politics and globalization.

Download or read book BUREAUCRACY IN CHINA written by YANAN WANG and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, being included in China’s Modern Academic Work Series, is the first scientific and systematic work analyzing Chinese traditional politics with Marxist methodology. Meanwhile, it serves as the theoretical weapon in criticizing bureaucracy. Yanan Wang, the author of the book, interpreted bureaucracy which had been in China for over 2000 years through the lens of dialectical materialism. This is a book with well-organized contents and meticulously arranged arguments. The layout of the book is organized as follows. First, the author gave definition as well as classification of bureaucracy, which is followed by a brief comment on bureaucracy in other countries in the world; Second, the author demonstrated the forms of bureaucracy in China, made a profound analysis of the societal and economic foundations of bureaucracy in China - the feudal system of landlord economy, and expounded two leverages backing developed bureaucracy - Dual Taxation system and Imperial Examination system. Moreover, the author elaborated on the political and socio-economic lives of peasants, bureaucrats, and hereditary powerful family in traditional system of Chinese bureaucracy. The author finalized the book with a demonstration of the collapse of traditional old bureaucracy, and the evolvement and transformation from the old to new bureaucracy, and with a forecast of the future of Chinese bureaucracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burr Litchfield traces the development of the patrician elite of Florence from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, the growth of a bureaucratic state in Tuscany during this period, and the changing relationship of the patricians to the state apparatus. His discussion of this largely neglected period of Italian history shows that the elite of the Florentine Renaissance Republic continued as the main component of the urban office-holding aristocracy under the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, and that they had an important role in the transition from Renaissance communal institutions to those of a regional state.

This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a wide variety of previously unavailable sources, Hong Yung Lee offers a theoretical and historical perspective on China's ruling elite, examining their politics and the bureaucratic system in which they participate. He traces the evolution of these cadres from the guerrilla fighters who first joined the communist movement and founded the new regime in 1949 to the technocratic specialists who wield power today. In the revolution, communist leaders built a peasant-based party organization whose members were largely recruited from uneducated poor peasants and hired laborers. Even after they became the founders of a new regime, their rural orientation and revolutionary experiences continued to affect the political process. Lee shows how the requirements of modernization compelled the state to replace the revolutionary cadres with bureaucratic technocrats. Selected from the postliberation generation, the new leaders are more committed to problem-solving than to socialism. Despite uncertainties in the immediate future, this elite transformation signifies an end to modern China's revolutionary era. Lee argues that it seems only a matter of time before China will have a bureaucratic-authoritarian regime led by technocrats possessing a managerial perspective and a pragmatic economic orientation.

Download or read book The Politics of the Prussian Nobility written by Robert M. Berdahl and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measured by its capacity to endure, the Prussian nobility was the most successful in the modern history of continental Europe. Throughout the long vicissitudes of its history, this class--the Junkers--displayed a remarkable ability to adapt to new circumstances and maintain its own political power. Robert Berdahl presents a comprehensive interpretation of the tenacity of the Prussian nobles from the late eighteenth century until the revolution of 1848. At one level, he provides a richly detailed economic, social, and political history: the story of how the landowning nobility coped with changes in rural social relations after the emancipation of the serfs in 1807 and of how it survived the agrarian depression of the 1820s by the development of capitalist agriculture. At another level, he shows how the Junkers developed an ideology of conservatism that justified their control of a society that was becoming increasingly bourgeois. The domination of society by members of the nobility was traditionally supported by their experience in governing landed estates and particularly by the imagery of paternalism. Capitalist agriculture undermined the old landlord-peasant relations, but the nobility continued to exploit paternalistic images of domination. Originally published in 1988.
