Rethinking Leviathan: The Eighteenth-century State In Britain And Germany
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9780199201891
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Rethinking Leviathan offers a new approach to the history of the modern state. It concentrates on the eighteenth century and on two cases, those of Britain and Germany. These two countries have always been test-cases for historians and social scientists looking at the development of the modern state because they have been seen as presenting the two main alternatives in the state-building process. Using a comparative study of the British and German states, including Prussia, it deconstructs certain clichés about them and forces us to rethink how to study states in the early modern era. The volume is less concerned with the theory of the state or the formal constitutional conditions under which governments operate than with their actual modus operandi. The subjects covered in this volume include some which have so far been ignored in reconstructing the history of the modern state.

Elisabetta Mocca Cities In Search Of Freedom: European Municipalities Against The Leviathan
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Elisabetta Mocca
EAN: 9781529216325
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Over the past decades the nation state lost its political primacy by processes of devolution, Europeanisation and globalisation, which in turn enhanced municipal autonomy. Why do some cities seek to sidestep the state and widen their sphere of action? \nBridging political geography, local politics and urban sociology, this book gives a new perspective on the state’s weakening authority and the parallel rise of cities as political actors. The author considers the tensions between central states and European cities, giving a new perspective to students and researchers in the social sciences.

Carl Dahlstroem;victor Lapuente Organizing Leviathan: Politicians, Bureaucrats, And The Making Of Good Government
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Carl Dahlstroem;victor Lapuente
EAN: 9781107177598
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Why are some countries less corrupt and better governed than others? Challenging conventional explanations on the remarkable differences in quality of government worldwide, this book argues that the organization of bureaucracy is an often overlooked but critical factor. Countries where merit-recruited employees occupy public bureaucracies perform better than those where public employees owe their post to political connections. The book provides a coherent theory of why, and ample evidence showing that meritocratic bureaucracies are conducive to lower levels of corruption, higher government effectiveness, and more flexibility to adopt modernizing reforms. Data comes from both a novel dataset on the bureaucratic structures of over 100 countries as well as from narratives of particular countries, with a special focus on the relationship between politicians and bureaucrats in Spain and Sweden. A notable contribution to the literature in comparative politics and public policy on good governance, and to corruption studies more widely.

R. G. Collingwood The New Leviathan: Or Man, Society, Civilization, And Barbarism
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: R. G. Collingwood
EAN: 9780198238805
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The New Leviathan, originally published in 1942, a few months before the author's death, is the book which R. G. Collingwood chose to write in preference to completing his life's work on the philosophy of history. It was occasioned by the Second World War and the threat which Nazism and Fascism constituted to civlization. The book draws upon many years of work in moral and political philosophy and attempts to establish the multiple and complex connections between the levels of consciousness, society, civilization, and barbarism. Collingwood argues that traditional social contract theory has failed to account for the continuing existence of the non-social community and its relation to the social community in the body politic. He is also critical of the tendency within ethics to confound right and duty. \n\n The publication of 120 pages of additional manuscript material in this revised edition demonstrates in more detail how Collingwood was determined to show that right and duty occupy different levels of rational practical consciousness. The additional writings also contain Collingwood's unequivocal rejection of relativism. \n\n David Boucher's introduction shows that The New Leviathan and The Idea of History are integrally related and that neither can be properly understood independently of the other. He is also concerned to show how many of Collingwood's ideas have a contemporary relevance, and that his ideas on barbarism are not so unusual as they might at first appear. \n\n 'A strange and fascinating book . . . The publication of this handsome new edition of The New Leviathan . . . is a welcome event.' Political Studies \n\n 'In his respectful and informative introduction David Boucher shows how The New Leviathan and the additional material appended to it fit in with Collingwood's thought as a whole.' History of Political Thought \n\n 'Throughout, the Introduction displays Boucher's usual mastery of the material, serious and probing approach, and judicious appraisal.' Collingwood Studies

Mark Harrison Secret Leviathan: Secrecy And State Capacity Under Soviet Communism
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Mark Harrison
EAN: 9781503628892
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The Soviet Union was one of the most secretive states that ever existed. Defended by a complex apparatus of rules and checks administered by the secret police, the Soviet state had seemingly unprecedented capabilities based on its near monopoly of productive capital, monolithic authority, and secretive decision making. But behind the scenes, Soviet secrecy was double-edged: it raised transaction costs, incentivized indecision, compromised the effectiveness of government officials, eroded citizens' trust in institutions and in each other, and led to a secretive society and an uninformed elite. The result is what this book calls the secrecy/capacity tradeoff: a bargain in which the Soviet state accepted the reduction of state capacity as the cost of ensuring its own survival.\n\n\nThis book is the first comprehensive, analytical, multi-faceted history of Soviet secrecy in the English language. Harrison combines quantitative and qualitative evidence to evaluate the impact of secrecy on Soviet state capacity from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Based on multiple years of research in once-secret Soviet-era archives, this book addresses two gaps in history and social science: one the core role of secrecy in building and stabilizing the communist states of the twentieth century; the other the corrosive effects of secrecy on the capabilities of authoritarian states.

Israel G. Solares Underground Leviathan: Corporate Sovereignty And Mining In The Americas
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Israel G. Solares
EAN: 9781647791360
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Underground Leviathan explores the emergence, dynamics, and lasting impacts of a mining firm, the United States Company. Through its exercise of sovereign power across the borders of North America in the early twentieth century, the transnational US Company shaped the business, environmental, political, and scientific landscape. Between its initial incorporation in Maine in 1906 and its final demise in the 1980s, the mining company held properties in Utah, Colorado, California, Nevada, Alaska, Mexico, and Canada. The firm was a prototypical management-ruled corporation, which strategically planned and manipulated the technological, production, economic, urban, environmental, political, and cultural activities wherever it operated, all while shaping social actors internationally, including managers, engineers, workers, neighbors, and farmers.\n\nAuthor Israel G. Solares examines how the twentieth century multinational firm established and articulated multinational corporate sovereignty in ways that reflect other multinational titans, like the East Asian Trade companies, and presages the digital giants and space corporations of the twenty-first century. Bridging the domineering practices used during the colonization of Southern Asia with the futuristic colonies on the Moon, Underground Leviathan documents the cost of a corporation's unyielding desire to consume the secrets at the center of the Earth.

Conservare in cantina fino a 15 anni. Decantare 1 ora prima di servire.Leviathan è stato fondato da Annie Favia e Andy Erickson nel 2004 dalla visione di esprimere l'autentica bellezza dei diversi terroir della California. Insieme il duo ha più di 35 anni di esperienza sia in vigna che in cantina, lavorando in molte delle migliori aziende vinicole di Napa come Harlan Estate e Screaming Eagle. Leviathan ha offerto a Erickson e a sua moglie Annie, viticoltrice, l'opportunità di creare il proprio vino libero dalle limitazioni imposte dai grandi nomi famosi di Napa.La miscela include tipicamente Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah e Merlot. La frutta proviene da una varietà di terroir che varia a seconda dell'annata, tra cui Coombsville, Moon Mountain, Carneros e la Sierra Foothills. Note di bacche, amarene e prugne mature saltano immediatamente fuori dal bicchiere, insieme a note più delicate di cacao, noce moscata e spezie di scatola di sigari. Al palato c'è un grande corpo pieno, tannini aderenti e incantevoli note terrose di alloro, salvia e cedro che ricordano le rocciose colline della California settentrionale dove questo magnifico vino inizia la sua vita. Il lungo finale, i sapori di frutta audaci e la struttura ben costruita lo rendono un grande vino da conservare per un altro decennio o giù di lì, anche se può essere goduto anche ora con piatti sostanziosi di carne rossa.

Francesco Di Donato 9871. Statualità Civiltà Libertà. Scritti Di Storia Costituzionale
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Francesco Di Donato
EAN: 9788893918510
Categoria: Libri e riviste
L'indagine condotta in questo volume ricostruisce l'insieme di dottrine e di pratiche istituzionali tese a dare al Leviathan un aspetto umano, limitandone il potere in base a regole predeterminate e stabili. Quest'obiettivo è stato raggiunto con il costituzionalismo democratico che è l'esito più raffinato del processo di \"civilizzazione statuale\", interazione reciproca tra la struttura istituzionale e la disposizione psicologico-sociale che la sostiene e la alimenta risultandone a sua volta rafforzata. Da questa osservazione storica si ricava un principio di fondamentale importanza nella cultura politica e giuridica dell'Occidente: la realizzazione della libertà democratica passa ineludibilmente attraverso la costruzione di saldi ancoraggi alla statualità. Nelle società contemporanee sembra si stia realizzando, invece, un capovolgimento di quei grandi princìpi conquistati nella lunga \"lotta per il diritto\", con la conseguenza letale di un aumento smisurato del potere giurisdizionale.

Sean Fleming Leviathan On A Leash: A Theory Of State Responsibility
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Sean Fleming
EAN: 9780691206462
Categoria: Libri e riviste
New perspectives on the role of collective responsibility in modern politics\n\nStates are commonly blamed for wars, called on to apologize, held liable for debts and reparations, bound by treaties, and punished with sanctions. But what does it mean to hold a state responsible as opposed to a government, a nation, or an individual leader? Under what circumstances should we assign responsibility to states rather than individuals? Leviathan on a Leash demystifies the phenomenon of state responsibility and explains why it is a challenging yet indispensable part of modern politics.\n\nTaking Thomas Hobbes' theory of the state as his starting point, Sean Fleming presents a theory of state responsibility that sheds new light on sovereign debt, historical reparations, treaty obligations, and economic sanctions. Along the way, he overturns longstanding interpretations of Hobbes' political thought, explores how new technologies will alter the practice of state responsibility as we know it, and develops new accounts of political authority, representation, and legitimacy. He argues that Hobbes' idea of the state offers a far richer and more realistic conception of state responsibility than the theories prevalent today, and demonstrates that Hobbes' Leviathan is much more than an anthropomorphic \"artificial man.\"\n\nLeviathan on a Leash is essential reading for political theorists, scholars of international relations, international lawyers, and philosophers. This groundbreaking book recovers a forgotten understanding of state personality in Hobbes' thought and shows how to apply it to the world of imperfect states in which we live.

Joseph Tonda Modern Sovereign: The Body Of Power In Central Africa (congo And Gabon)
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Joseph Tonda
EAN: 9780857426888
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The \"Modern Sovereign,\" a notion indebted both to Hobbes's Leviathan and Marx's conception of capital, refers to the power that governed the African multitudes from the earliest colonial days to the post-colonial era. It is an internalized power, responsible for the multiform violence exerted on bodies and imaginations. Joseph Tonda contends that in Central Africa-and particularly in Gabon and the Congo-the body is at the heart of political, religious, sexual, economic, and ritual power. This, he argues, is confirmed by the strong link between corporeal and political matters, and by the ostentatious display of bodies in African life. The body of power asserts itself as both matter and spirit, and it incorporates the seductive force of money, commodities, sex, and knowledge. Tonda's incisive analysis reveals how this sovereign power is a social relation, historically constituted by the violence of the African cultural Imaginary and the realities of State, Market, and Church. It is to be understood, he asserts, through a generalized theory economic, political, and religious fetishism. By introducing this crucial critical voice from contemporary Africa into the English language, The Modern Sovereign makes a significant contribution to field of anthropology, political science, and African studies.

It is an internalized power, responsible for the multiform violence exerted on bodies and imaginations. Joseph Tonda contends that in Central Africa-and particularly in Gabon and the Congo-the body is at the heart of political, religious, sexual, economic, and ritual power. This, he argues, is confirmed by the strong link between corporeal and political matters, and by the ostentatious display of bodies in African life. The body of power asserts itself as both matter and spirit, and it incorporates the seductive force of money, commodities, sex, and knowledge. Tonda's incisive analysis reveals how this sovereign power is a social relation, historically constituted by the violence of the African cultural Imaginary and the realities of State, Market, and Church. It is to be understood, he asserts, through a generalized theory economic, political, and religious fetishism. By introducing this crucial critical voice from contemporary Africa into the English language, The Modern Sovereign makes a significant contribution to field of anthropology, political science, and African studies.

Faeeza Ballim Apartheid’s Leviathan: Electricity And The Power Of Technological Ambivalence
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Faeeza Ballim
EAN: 9780821425183
Categoria: Libri e riviste
A fascinating study that shows how the intersection of technology and politics has shaped South African history since the 1960s.\n\nThis book details the development of an interconnected technological system of a coal mine and of the Matimba and Medupi power stations in the Waterberg, a rural region of South Africa near the country’s border with Botswana. South Africa’s state steel manufacturing corporation, Iscor, which has since been privatized, developed a coal mine in the region in the 1970s. This set the stage for the national electricity provider, Eskom, to build coal-fueled power stations in the Waterberg. \n\nFaeeza Ballim follows the development of these technological systems from the late 1960s, a period of heightened repression as the apartheid government attempted to realize its vision of racial segregation, to the deeply fraught construction of the Medupi power station in postapartheid South Africa. The Medupi power station was planned toward the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century as a measure to alleviate the country’s electricity shortage, but the continued delay of its completion and the escalation of its costs meant that it failed to realize those ambitions while public frustration and electricity outages grew. \n\nBy tracing this story, this book highlights the importance of technology to our understanding of South African history. This characterization challenges the idea that the technological state corporations were proxies for the apartheid government and highlights that their activities in the Waterberg did not necessarily accord with the government’s strategic purposes. While a part of the broader national modernization project under apartheid, they also set the stage for worker solidarity and trade union organization in the Waterberg and elsewhere in the country. This book also argues that the state corporations, their technology, and their engineers enjoyed ambivalent relationships with the governments of their time, relationships that can be characterized as both autonomous and immersive. In the era of democracy, while Eskom has been caught up in government corruption—a major scourge to the fortunes of South Africa—it has also retained a degree of organizational autonomy and offered a degree of resistance to those who sought to further corruption. \n\nThe examination of the workings of these technological systems, and the state corporations responsible for them, complicates conventional understandings of the transition from the authoritarian rule of apartheid to democratic South Africa, which coincided with the transition from state-led development to neoliberalism. This book is an indispensable case study on the workings of industrial and political power in Africa and beyond.

La Filosofia Politica Di Hobbes
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9788856814293
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Che poco o nulla sia dato comprendere del significato della statualità moderna senza riferirsi a Thomas Hobbes è un dato di fatto ovvio e impossibile da non condividere. E però risulta altrettanto innegabile che l'autore del Leviathan non si può leggere solo in questa prospettiva. La sua concezione della politica scaturisce infatti da una serrata riflessione sulla natura umana, unita a un'analisi raffinata dell'uomo moderno. Nel tempo della nascita delle scienze come discipline autonome e della disintegrazione delle istituzioni socio-culturali tradizionali, Hobbes si interroga sulla possibilità di una conoscenza esatta dei meccanismi della macchina statale. Si interroga altresì sul rapporto tra esperienza religiosa e convivenza civile, offrendo elementi di riflessione ancora attuali nel dibattito contemporaneo sulla secolarizzazione e sul suo superamento. Nel suo pensiero ritroviamo nella loro forma originaria tutti i temi fondamentali del dibattito filosofico che, sviluppatosi in Francia e in Inghilterra intorno alla metà del Seicento, costituisce ancora oggi la cornice della riflessione in ambito politico.

Ryan Tucker Jones Red Leviathan: The Secret History Of Soviet Whaling
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Ryan Tucker Jones
EAN: 9780226628851
Categoria: Libri e riviste
A revealing and authoritative history that shows how Soviet whalers secretly helped nearly destroy endangered whale populations, while also contributing to the scientific understanding necessary for these creatures' salvation.\n \n The Soviet Union killed over 600,000 whales in the twentieth century, many of them illegally and secretly. That catch helped bring many whale species to near extinction by the 1970s, and the impacts of this loss of life still ripple through today's oceans. In this new account, based on formerly secret Soviet archives and interviews with ex-whalers, environmental historian Ryan Tucker Jones offers a complete history of the role the Soviet Union played in the whales' destruction. As other countries-especially the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Norway-expanded their pursuit of whales to all corners of the globe, Stalin determined that the Soviet Union needed to join the hunt. What followed was a spectacularly prodigious, and often wasteful, destruction of humpback, fin, sei, right, and sperm whales in the Antarctic and the North Pacific, done in knowing violation of the International Whaling Commission's rules. Cold War intrigue encouraged this destruction, but, as Jones shows, there is a more complex history behind this tragic Soviet experiment. Jones compellingly describes the ultimate scientific irony: today's cetacean studies benefitted from Soviet whaling, as Russian scientists on whaling vessels made key breakthroughs in understanding whale natural history and behavior. And in a final twist, Red Leviathan reveals how the Soviet public began turning against their own country's whaling industry, working in parallel with Western environmental organizations like Greenpeace to help end industrial whaling-not long before the world's whales might have disappeared altogether.

Carl Schmitt The Leviathan In The State Theory Of Thomas Hobbes: Meaning And Failure Of A Political Symbol
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Carl Schmitt
EAN: 9780226738949
Categoria: Libri e riviste
One of the most significant political philosophers of the twentieth century, Carl Schmitt is a deeply controversial figure who has been labeled both a Nazi sympathizer and a modern-day Thomas Hobbes. First published in 1938, \"The Leviathan in the State Theory of Thomas Hobbes\" used the Enlightenment philosopher's enduring symbol of the protective Leviathan to address the nature of modern statehood. A work that predicted the demise of the Third Reich and that still holds relevance in today's security-obsessed society, this volume will be essential reading for students and scholars of political science.

Daryl J. Levinson Law For Leviathan: Constitutional Law, International Law, And The State
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Daryl J. Levinson
EAN: 9780190061593
Categoria: Libri e riviste
For the past several centuries of Anglo-American legal thought, law has been paradigmatically understood as the product of the state. The state, operating through the legal and political institutions of its government, imposes law on the people who are its subjects. Over the same centuries, however, the development of international law and constitutional law has made the state itself subject to law. These systems of law for states necessarily work differently. For one thing, law for states must do without a super-state or government standing above the state, capable of creating and enforcing law. For another, the state is a unique kind of legal subject, calling for different behavioral models, moral standards, and regulatory techniques than those developed for ordinary people. It is precisely these differences that have long marked international law as a curious, and in many eyes dubious, form of law.\n\nConstitutional law, in contrast, has seldom been subject to the same doubts, or fully understood as different in kind from legal systems run by and through the state. As a result, constitutionalists have lagged their internationalist counterparts in coming to grips with the common project of making the state the subject rather than the source of law. By assimilating constitutional and international law as parallel projects of imposing law upon the state, and by highlighting the peculiarities of the state as a subject of law, this book aspires to close that gap, and to bring focus to Law for Leviathan as a distinctive legal form.
