In 1823 and 1824, the newly independent government of Mexicoentered the international capital market, raising two loans inLondon totaling ?6.4 million. Intended to cover a variety ofexpenses, the loans fell into default by 1827 and remained indefault until 1887. This case study explores how the loan processworked in Mexico in the early nineteenth century, when foreignlending was still a novelty, and the unexpected ways in whichinternational debt could influence politics and policy. The historyof the loans, the efforts of successive governments in Mexico toresume repayment, and the efforts of the foreign lenders to recovertheir investment became one of the most significant, persistent,and contentious, if largely misunderstood, issues in the politicaland financial history of nineteenth-century Mexico. The loansthemselves became entangled in partisan politics in Mexico andabroad, especially in Great Britain and France, and were a fertilesource of speculation for a wide range of legitimate - andnot-so-legitimate

This book, by one of America's most intelligent and decent political writers, tells liberals how the conservative movement rose and fell, and how they could emulate its successes while avoiding its failures." —George Packer, author of Blood of the Liberals and The Assassins' Gate "No one is better than Todd Gitlin at describing the crucial dynamic through which movements gain or lose political power. Justly celebrated for his seminal work on such dynamics during the 1960s, Gitlin now explains everything that's happened since, with passion and wisdom—and happily, because of Bushism's collapse, legitimate optimism about the future." —Michael Tomasky, Editor, Guardian America "An impassioned yet realistic plea for Democrats and liberals to become more serious about politics. They would do well to follow his advice." —Alan Wolfe, Director, Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life, Boston College "A brilliant and indispensable book. Gitlin convincingly

This book re-evaluates the nature of Elizabethan politics andElizabeth's queenship in late sixteenth-century England, Wales andIreland. Natalie Mears shows that Elizabeth took an active role inpolicy-making and suggests that Elizabethan politics has to beperceived in terms of personal relations between the queen and heradvisers rather than of the hegemony of the privy council. Shechallenges current perceptions of political debate at court asrestricted and integrates recent research on court drama andreligious ritual into the wider context of political debate.Finally, providing a survey of the nature of political debateoutside the court, Dr Mears challenges seminal work by JürgenHabermas, as well as of seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuryhistorians, by showing that a 'public sphere' existed in latesixteenth-century England, Wales and Ireland. In doing so, shere-evaluates how sociologists and historians have, and should,conceptualize the 'public sphere'.

The proliferation of international institutions and their impact has become a central issue in international relations。Why do countries comply with international agreements and how do international institutions influence national policies？Most theories focus on the extent to which international institutions can wield ’carrots and sticks’directly in their relations with states。Xinyuan Dai presents an alternative framework in which they influence national policies indirectly by utilizing non-state actors （NGOs，social movements） and empowering domestic constituencies。In this way，even weak international institutions that lack ’carrots and sticks’may have powerful effects on states。 Supported by empirical studies of environmental politics， human rights and economic and security issues，this book sheds fresh light on how and why international institutions matter。It will be of interest to students， scholars and policymakers in both international relations and international law。

In this riveting collection, published for the first time,we follow Harry S. Truman and Dean Acheson, two giants of thepost–World War II period, as they move from an officialrelationship to one of candor, humor, and personal expression.Together they were primarily responsible for the Marshall Plan andNATO, among other world-shaping initiatives. And in these letters,spanning the years from when both were newly out of office untilAcheson’s death at the age of seventy-eight, we find them sharingthe often surprising and always illuminating opinions, ideas, andfeelings that the strictures of their offices had previously keptthem from revealing. Adapting easily to their private lives, they nonetheless felt apowerful need to keep in touch as they viewed with dismay what theyconsidered to be the Eisenhower administration’s fumbling offoreign affairs, the impact of Joseph McCarthy, John FosterDulles’s foreign policy, and the threat of massive nuclearretaliation.

Revival is a road map to understanding the dynamics,cha

The thesis of this provocative and potentially important book is the increasing threat of violence arising from renewed conflicts between countries and cultures that base their traditions on religious faith and dogma. This argument moves past the notion of ethnicity to examine the growing influence of a handful of major cultures--Western, Eastern Orthodox, Latin American, Islamic, Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, and African--in current struggles across the globe. Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist at Harvard University and foreign policy aide to President Clinton, argues that policymakers should be mindful of this development when they interfere in other nations' affairs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Eugene Fran?ois Vidocq was born in France in 1775 and his lifespanned the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars and the 1848revolutions. He was the Inspector Morse, the Sherlock Holmes, theJames Bond of his day. A notorious criminal, he turned policeofficer and employed a gang of ex-convicts as his detectives. Heinvented innovative criminal indexing techniques and experimentedwith fingerprinting, until his cavalier attitude towards the thinblue line forced him out of the police. So he began the world'svery first private detective agency. The cases he solved were high profile and he grew in notoriety.However, his infamy didn't prevent him from becoming a spy andmoving secretly across the dangerous borders of Europe. This is agloriously enjoyable historical romp through the eighteenth centuryin the company of the man whose influence still holds to thisday.

In this major contribution to Ideas in Context Anne McLarenexplores the consequences for English political culture when, withthe accession of Elizabeth I, imperial 'kingship' came to beinvested in the person of a female ruler. She looks at howElizabeth managed to be queen, in the face of considerable maleopposition, and demonstrates how that opposition was enacted. DrMcLaren argues that during Elizabeth's reign men were able toaccept the rule of a woman partly by inventing a new definition of'citizen', one that made it an exclusively male identity, and sheemphasizes the continuities between Elizabeth's reign and theoutbreak of the English civil wars in the seventeenth century. Asignificant work of cultural history informed by political thought,Political Culture in the Reign of Elizabeth I offers a wholesalereinterpretation of the political dynamics of the reign of QueenElizabeth.

Does it suggesthow each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn isfinally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligencereally is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. Thisexpanded paperback edition includes three important new essays.

A fascinating book that bridges the gulfseparating our minds from those of our ancestors a century ago, andmakes an important contribution to our understanding of humanintelligence.

This book builds on institutionalist theory in both economicsand political science to offer a general political economyframework for the study of welfare capitalism. Based on the keyidea that social protection in a modern economy, both inside andoutside the state, can be understood as protection of specificinvestments in human capital, the book offers a systematicexplanation of popular preferences for redistributive spending, theeconomic role of political parties and electoral systems, and labormarket stratification (including gender inequality). Contrary tothe popular idea that competition in the global economy underminesinternational differences in the level of social protection, thebook argues that these differences are made possible by a highinternational division of labor. Such a division is what allowsfirms to specialize in production that requires an abundant supplyof workers with specific skills, and hence high demand forprotection.
