ref. A9781138513402Paperback / softback. New. The essays in this collection spanning 1925 to 1970 confirm Aurel Kolnai's place as one of the great conservative theorists of the twentieth century. Kolnai carefully analyzes the leading intellectual positions and thinkers of his day the dominant social movements and the prevailing moral influencesaEUROpsychoanalysis fascism and National Socialism. He documents how they run counter to the architecture of civilization. Kolnai is relatively unknown outside philosophical circles but Politics Values and National Socialism provides an overview of his moral philosophy. In most moral philosophy books one finds pages devoted to the major theories of ethics. This volume is different. It seeks to address the larger moral question of what kind of thought works against morality and by implication how one can defend morality. Eager to protect "the surviving islands of Liberal Civilization" Kolnai's concern is really one of theory. He shows that much of what passes for moral theory is subversive of moral order. All who think that totalitarianism is a permanent threat and who suspect that ideas can quickly be dangerously distorted in times of social unrest will find plenty of clarifying ideas in this volume. paperback
ref. A9781138953727Paperback / softback. New. Democratization emerged at a time of epochal change in global politics: the twin impacts of the end of the Soviet Union and the speeding up and deepening of globalisation in the early 1990s meant a whole new ball game in terms of global political developments. The journal's first issue appeared in early 1994. Over time the editorial position has been consistently to focus on 'the third wave of democracy' and its aftermath. The third wave is the most recent exemplar of a long-term historical trend towards more democratically viable regimes and away from authoritarian systems and leaders. In short the journal wants to promote a better understanding of democratization - defined as the way democratic norms institutions and practices evolve and are disseminated both within and across national and cultural boundaries. Over the years the many excellent articles that we have featured in the journal have shared our focus on democratization viewed as a process. The journal has sought - and continues to seek - to build on the enduring scholarly and of course popular interest in democracy how and why it emerges develops and becomes consolidated. Our emphasis over the last 20 years has been contemporary and the approach comparative with a strong desire to be both topical and authoritative. We include special reference to democratization in the developing world and in post-communist societies. In sum just as 20 years ago the journal today aims to encourage debate on the many aspects of democratization that are of interest to policy-makers administrators and journalists aid and development personnel those involved in education and perhaps above all the tens of millions of ordinary people around the world who do not yet enjoy the benefits of living under democratic rule. The two dozen articles collected in this 'virtual' special issue are emphatic proof of the power of the written word to induce debate uncertainty and ultimately progress towards better forms of politics focused on the achievement of the democratic aspirations of men and women everywhere. paperback

ref. A9780367739232Paperback / softback. New. Authoritarianism research has evolved into one of the fastest growing research fields in comparative politics. The newly awakened interest in autocratic regimes goes hand in hand with a lack of systematic research on the results of the political and substantive policy performance of variants of autocratic regimes. The contributions in this second volume of Comparing Autocracies are united by the assumption that the performance of political regimes and their persistence are related. Furthermore autocratic institutions and the specific configurations of elite actors within authoritarian regime coalitions induce dictators to undertake certain policies and that different authoritarian institutions are therefore an important piece of the puzzle of government performance in dictatorships. Based on these two prepositions the contributions explore the differences between autocracies and democracies as well as between different forms of non-democratic regimes in regard to their outcome performance in selected policy fields; how political institutions affect autocratic performance and persistence; whether policy performance matter for the persistence of authoritarian rule; and what happens to dictators once autocratic regimes fall. This book is an amalgam of articles from the journals Democratization Contemporary Politics and Politische Vierteljahresschrift. paperback

AUREL STEINS PERSONAL COPY: This is a very nice copy which was likely owned by the author as his personal letter was found used as a book mark in one of the volumes. The letter is 19 x 25.5 cm. plain toned white paper written by Sir Aurel Stein using a very wide fountain pen and blue ink. The letter is in remarkable condition and has been folded twice but now is quite flat and solid. . WITH A VERY RARE HOLOGRAPHIC LETTER FROM AUREL STEIN: "At Highbroom Ewhurst Guilford: February 15 1925 Dear Sirs Thanks for your letter of the 9th inst. and the account rendered with it. I note in the account of entry of 10/6 charged for the Return of Income Tax for the years 1922-3 and 1923-4. As I was absent from the United Kingdom during the whole of these financial years no Income Tax was due from the royalties received in these years on my behalf. I accordingly request the favour of an explanation as to how this charge arises against my account and hope for a refund of the amount. Yours faithfully A. Stein" . Perhaps Aurel Stein got his reply from the Income Tax office and or this was a copy of his letter. It was found lost as a "book mark" found in this set. A lovely insight to Stein and his thoughts on how the British government had wrongly charged him Income Tax. A lovely holographic letter written in pen and ink in his usual and steady hand.
