Human Nature In Politics is a book written by Graham Wallas that explores the relationship between human nature and political behavior. The book offers an in-depth analysis of how human nature influences political decisions and actions, and how political institutions and systems are shaped by human behavior.Wallas argues that human nature is a key factor in understanding political behavior, and that political systems and institutions should be designed with this understanding in mind. He explores the psychological and social factors that shape political behavior, including the role of emotions, group dynamics, and the influence of culture and tradition.The book also examines the role of leadership in politics, and how leaders can use their understanding of human nature to shape political outcomes. Wallas argues that effective leadership requires a deep understanding of human behavior, and that leaders must be able to navigate complex social and psychological dynamics in order to achieve their goals.Overall, Human Nature In Politics is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between human nature and political behavior. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of political systems and institutions, and how they are shaped by human behavior.If he had been pressed, Macaulay would probably have admitted that there are cases in which human acts and impulses to act occur independently of any idea of an end to be gained by them. If I have a piece of grit in my eye and ask some one to take it out with the corner of his handkerchief, I generally close the eye as soon as the handkerchief comes near, and always feel a strong impulse to do so. Nobody supposes that I close my eye because, after due consideration, I think it my interest to do so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Where my record of the wrongs and outrages of my age; of the sorrows and joys; the trials and triumphs, that should have been written amid autumn and sunset glories in the eloquent faces and speaking forms which have everywhere presented themselves, begging to be interpreted? Why have I never put on canvas one pair of those pleading eyes, in which are garnered the woes of centuries?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Dissertations on First Principles of Government"" is a political treatise written by the influential American revolutionary thinker and writer, Thomas Paine. Originally published in 1795, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the core principles of government and the nature of political power. Paine argues that government should be based on reason and justice, rather than on inherited privilege or arbitrary authority. He also emphasizes the importance of individual rights and freedoms, and the need for a system of checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power. Throughout the book, Paine draws on examples from history and contemporary politics to illustrate his points and make his case. This work is considered a classic of political theory and has had a significant impact on the development of democratic thought and practice around the world.There are however some things deducible from reason, and evidenced by experience, that serve to guide our decision upon the case. The one is never to invest any individual with extraordinary power; for besides his being tempted to misuse it, it will excite contention and commotion in the nation for the office. Secondly, never to invest power long in the hands of any number of individuals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Law and Democracy"" is a speech given by Wayne Mac Veagh at the 62nd anniversary of Yale Law School in 1886. In this address, Mac Veagh explores the relationship between law and democracy, arguing that the two are intertwined and that democracy cannot exist without the rule of law. He discusses the importance of the legal system in protecting individual rights and promoting justice, and the role that lawyers and judges play in upholding these values. Mac Veagh also addresses the challenges facing democracy in his time, such as corruption and political polarization, and calls on the graduating law students to use their skills and knowledge to help strengthen democratic institutions. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between law and democracy, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in legal theory, political philosophy, or the history of American law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book analyses the effects of public governance reforms on gender equality policy in Finland. Recent economic crises, rising austerity and increasing opposition to gender equality have led to the defunding of gender equality bodies, and the side-lining of gender equality as a political goal. This policy backlash has taken place alongside transformations to the state and governance, that have changed the discourses, knowledge, actors, and practices of gender equality policy. This book contributes to these discussions by demonstrating the subtleties of the constantly changing governance reform agendas, their operation in practice, and how they intertwine with other elements of the gender equality policy backlash. It is based on more than 100 interviews with civil servants, politicians, non-governmental organisations, social partners, and think tanks, and a broad range of policy documents and media material. It will appeal to students and scholars of gender studies, public policy and governance.

This volume examines some of the major challenges and opportunities for Europe in the light of the intensifying US-China global strategic rivalry. In doing so, the book investigates European roles and behavior in the contemporary US-China-Europe triangular relationship. While the book's focus is on Europe, the contributors originate from, or are based in, the US and China, thus presenting a unique outside-in perspective to the analysis of European conduct in the areas of security, geo-politics, geo-economics, global governance, development, and climate change. Each area is investigated by one American and one Chinese scholar, respectively, presenting the different views held on Europe's behavior and positioning in the US and China. In addition to providing critical assessments of Europe's roles and performance as seen through the prism of their respective country, contributors also pose concrete policy recommendations for Europe.The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science and international relations, as well as policy-makers interested in a better understanding of Europe's role in the US-China rivalry and its relationship to the two countries.

This book charts new waters in the study of European naval power. It explores the evolution of Europe's navies from the final days of the Cold War to a period of hybrid wars and renewed strategic competition, manifest in Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's increasingly aggressive behavior in the Asia-Pacific Region. The study compares and contrasts the development of maritime forces across the continent during a period of fundamental change within the global security environment. By applying a novel methodology that links strategies, force structures, and operations, the book determines when, why, and to what degree each navy either continued to focus on competitive and state-centric missions, aimed at the defense of national territory and interests, or rather embraced an entirely new naval paradigm, based on collaborative and system-centric understanding of shared maritime security. The author highlights how inconsistencies and shortsighted naval policies have led to dangerouscapability shortfalls and offers several recommendations for navies to navigate successfully the future maritime environment. This book provides an invaluable resource for policymakers, practitioners, scholars, and students interested in European security, transatlantic defense cooperation, and global maritime security issues.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Globalisierung, pol. Ökonomie, Note: 1,7, IU Internationale Hochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Hausarbeit sollen die Stärken und Schwächen der USA im Bereich der nachhaltigen Entwicklung anhand der Sustainable Development Goals näher beleuchtet werden. Ein Schwerpunkt wird dabei auf die sozialen SDGs gelegt. Das SDG-Ranking zeigt, dass es einige Länder gibt, die wesentlich besser abschneiden als die USA. Daher soll herausgestellt werden, welche konkreten Maßnahmen die betroffenen Länder zum Erfolg geführt haben und somit als Good Practices für die USA dienen können. Ziel wird es sein, eine SDG-Strategie abzuleiten, welche bei unverzüglicher Umsetzung zu einer deutlichen Steigerung des SDG-Scores der USA führen kann.Die Arbeit wird dabei nicht den Vergleich mit allen Ländern, welche besser als die USA abschneiden vornehmen können, sondern sich auf ausgewählte europäische Länder, sowie China als zweitgrößte Wirtschaftsmacht fokussieren. Auch wenn für eine vollständige SDG-Strategie eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung aller 17 Nachhaltigkeitsziele notwendig ist, wird hier der Schwerpunkt auf die sozialen SDGs gelegt.

Edith Brötzner nimmt ihre Leser mit auf eine persönliche Reise durch die turbulenten Jahre 2020 und 2021. Mit Humor und Tiefgang erzählt sie von den Herausforderungen und Absurditäten ihres Alltags während der Pandemie. Von Hamsterkäufen über politische und gesellschaftliche Spannungen bis hin zu ihrer persönlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Überwachung und eingeschränkten Freiheitsrechten beleuchtet Brötzner kritisch die Reaktionen auf die Corona-Krise. Ihre Geschichte ist eine Hommage an den Mut, die Resilienz und die Bedeutung von Gemeinschaft in Zeiten, in denen die Welt stillzustehen scheint. Brötzner zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, auch in schwierigen Zeiten den Humor nicht zu verlieren.

This book maps out the main social and local conflicts that are currently fracturing Tunisian society today. These conflicts reflect both the loss of credibility due to the failure of national institutions and the rise of corporatism in the face of the difficulty of including young people in a civil society that is building new points of reference. Since 2011, they also reflect the tensions affecting Tunisiäs borders and the movements of populations from Libya and sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, they affect many departures from the country : from the flight of skills to illegal emigration.Based on field surveys, the author outlines proposals for responses, alternative modes or ways out of crises, to build new regulations that are better controlled by the actors themselves.

L'ouvrage est une exploration des causes du sous-développement du Burkina Faso. Il pénètre dans les méandres de nos incohérences, de nos mauvais comportements et actions, de nos mauvaises politiques, de la mauvaise gouvernance, des incivismes et des incivilités qui dévient le Burkina Faso de sa trajectoire de développement. Il parle à tous les acteurs nationaux et à toutes les composantes de notre société. Il dénonce particulièrement la classe politique dans ses turpitudes, son inexemplarité et surtout son manque de positionnement idéologique ayant pour conséquence la perte de repères, des observateurs, des électeurs et des autres acteurs politiques. Il sonne le tocsin pour un sursaut patriotique et une solidarité de tous pour une communauté de destin. Mais au-delà de l'analyse des causes et des conséquences, l'ouvrage fait également des propositions de pistes de solutions pour un avenir meilleur et profitable à tous dans un monde planétaire.

Ce livre traite principalement de la campagne du Parti de l¿Unité et du Rassemblement (PUR) lors de la présidentielle de 2019. Vraie mine d¿informations, il permet de comprendre la stratégie déployée par le parti pour aller à l¿assaut des suffrages des Sénégalais. Il offre une lecture très objective et factuelle de sa préparation, de son déroulement à travers une caravane nationale, de ses péripéties, de ses surprises et de ses épreuves.  Son auteur, acteur de premier plan, témoigne des espoirs et déceptions d¿une aventure passionnante vécue par des personnes qui pour la plupart participaient, pour la première fois, à une campagne présidentielle. Il peint ainsi des cavaliers, au rythme frénétique d¿un « Si c¿est PUR, je m¿engage », à la fourche d¿un « PUR 100 » d¿inspiration populaire élaboré avec méthode et porté par un « homme nouveau », jusqüalors méconnu de la scène politique et dont les « maigres » résultats, à la fin d¿une course épique, en ont surpris plus d¿un.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Organisation und Verwaltung - Öffentliche Verwaltung, Note: 1,3, , Veranstaltung: Seminar Gesellschaft, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Wachstumstrend der Elektro-Mobilität (E-Mobilität) in Deutschland, vor allem in Bezug auf Fahrzeuge wirft das Problem mit dem Umgang und der Entsorgung von Lithium-Ionen-Akkumulatoren (LIA) auf. Die Lebensdauer eines LIA ist begrenzt und nimmt über die Zeit ab. Hierbei entsteht die Frage, was mit diesen Akkumulatoren (Akkus) geschieht, sobald das Ende der Lebensdauer erreicht ist und die Entsorgung ansteht. Diese Arbeit soll sowohl die Interessen der Eigentümer von Fahrzeugen der E-Mobilität als auch die Interessen potenzieller Kaufinteressenten als Zielgruppe einbeziehen.Für eine bessere Verständlichkeit werden zunächst die Begriffe ¿Müll¿ und ¿E-Mobilität¿ definiert. Danach werden verschiedene Theorien über die Müllbelastung der LIA in Deutschland aufgestellt und analysiert. Im Anschluss werden diese Ergebnisse diskutiert. Abschließend gibt das Fazit auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und potenziellen Handlungsfähigkeiten einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Forschungen.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Politik, politische Bildung, Note: 1,0, Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg (Institut für Gesellschaftswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Verqueres Denken, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert Verschwörungsmythen und deren Vorkommen im Unterricht unter Berücksichtigung des Beutelsbacher Konsens.Nach einer repräsentativen Umfrage der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung zu Verschwörungsglaube von 2019 und 2020 stimmt jede dritte Person der Aussage, dass die Welt von geheimen Mächten gesteuert wird, zu. Eine erschreckende Zahl, wenn man darüber nachdenkt, wie aufgeklärt die heutige Gesellschaft in Deutschland sein sollte. Doch spätestens seit der Corona-Pandemie ist offensichtlich, wie schnell sich Verschwörungserzählungen verbreiten und für Unsicherheit und Unruhe sorgen.Ebenfalls auffällig ist die mediale Aufmerksamkeit, die diese Erzählungen erhalten haben. Mit dem veganen Koch Attila Hildmann und den Sängern Xavier Naidoo und Michael Wendler, später auch der Sängerin Nena, erhielten die Verschwörungen prominente Fürsprecher.Verschwörungsmythen sind also kein Randthema im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs, sowohl offline als auch online, und es lässt sich nicht vermeiden, dass auch die Jüngeren über Instagram, Facebook und Co. vom "Laborvirus", dem "Giftcocktail" oder Bill Gates "Mikrochipimpfung" gehört haben. Doch wie geht man damit um: Sollte dies auch im Unterricht behandelt werden oder sind Verschwörungserzählungen lediglich unwissenschaftliche und somit irrelevante Erscheinungen? Hand in Hand geht damit die allgemeinere Betrachtung des Politikunterrichts bezüglich der Kontroversität beziehungsweise Neutralität in der Gestaltung. Die ohnehin bestehenden Unsicherheiten bei diesem Thema wurden nochmals bestärkt durch die 2019 von der AfD veröffentlichten Meldeplattformen für Schüler und deren Eltern, bei denen Lehrkräfte gemeldet werden konnten, wenn sie sich kritisch über jene Partei äußerten. Die Inbetriebnahme dieser Plattform ist nach dem Politikdidaktiker Helmut Däuble ein extremer Angriff auf das demokratische Schulsystem in Deutschland, der kein Missverstehen zulässt.Aus dieser Problemlage resultieren Fragen zur richtigen Gestaltung des Politikunterrichts in der Schule, was in der folgenden Arbeit thematisiert werden soll.

In this book the author - me - ponders on certain things, such as society and the universe. What is the underlying primordial matter of the universe and how can one relate this to our modern "society"? The word in itself hints the existence of a .....?Of a What?Of something unspeakable and dangerously terrible you may think, but that is something that might reveal itself to you, if you have the stamina to deal with the authors - me - gigantic and frivolous ego.

"This study of Japanese "forest reclamation" in Korea during the period of Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945) holds the notion of conservation up for scrutiny, examining the roots of Japanese practices and ideas about the Korean landscape as well as the consequences and aftermath of the Japanese approach to "greenification" in Korea. The Japanese program for natural resource management included change in how woodland ownership rights were controlled at both the national and village level as well as efforts to change how Koreans cooked and heated their homes and to inculcate "forest love thought" among the Korean people, and culminated with an extreme increase in extraction during the Second World War. This project offers a compelling environmental approach to Korean history but also expands environmental thinking about Japan into colonized lands and contributes to broader conversations about colonial forestry globally"--
