Strategic Intelligence for American World Policy

Intelligence work is in some ways like a newspaper or newsmagazine, in some like a business, in some like the research activity of a university; very little of it involves cloaks and daggers. All of it is important to national survival, and should be understood by the citizens of a democracy. In this remarkable book, an able scholar, experienced in foreign intelligence, analyzes all of these varied aspects of what is known as "high-level foreign positive intelligence." Illustrations are drawn from that branch, but the lessons apply to all intelligence, and in fact to all those phases of business, of journalism, and (most importantly) of scholarship, where the problem is to learn what has happened or will happen. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Sagt om bokenMönstersamhället är Anneli Rogemans egen historia, samtidigt som den är Sveriges. Den är en glänsande nyckel till samhällsförståelse.Svenska Dagbladet

Anneli Rogemans skildring av Boliden är en känslig och välskriven bok om en orts uppgång och nedgång i Västerbottens inland. Norrbottens-Kuriren

1924 hittades guld i skogarna utanför det som idag är Boliden i Västerbottens inland. En gruvindustri byggdes upp – och ett samhälle. Gruvbolaget ville locka arbetare, tjänstemän och gruvexperter till ett perfekt samhälle som var rent, snyggt och modernt – ett mönstersamhälle.

Boliden växte fram under samma tid som folkhemmet. I den här bruksmiljön var det bolaget – inte det allmänna – som tog ansvar för tryggheten, men målet var i grunden detsamma. De följdes åt, Bolidens utveckling och det svenska samhällets. Klassamhällets emblem, de auktoritära styrelsesätten, men även samförstånden mellan arbetare och direktörer, mycket var typiskt svenskt. Bolidens själva tillblivelse var unik och guldet gav under flera decennier allt en särskild lyster.

Men vad hände när guldet tog slut? Hur ser Boliden ut idag? Samhället liknar delvis utvecklingen som andra mindre svenska samhällen har genomgått. Särskilt de bruksorter som ligger långt ifrån storstäderna. Men det finns också en del spektakulära skillnader.

Anneli Rogeman växte upp i Boliden, hennes pappa blev chef i gruvbolaget. I Mönstersamhället återvänder hon till sin hemort och skildrar hur samhället skapades, hur det delades upp i klasser och hur det formade människorna som levde och växte upp där. Och om vad som hände när guldet tog slut och nya mönster växte fram i Boliden, mönstersamhället i norra Västerbotten.

Den svenska demokratin hotas av tilltagande centralstyrning. Regeringar av olika kulör vill styra allt fler politikområden med skola och sjukvård i spetsen från Stockholm. Även den länsvisa utvecklingspolitiken vill staten öka styrningen över. ”Flykten” till centralismen finns inbyggd i det politiska systemet. Fokus ligger på nationell likvärdighet och likformighet. Centralisterna ser kommuner och regioner enbart som utförare av nationella ambitioner. Men Sjöbo och Täby är inte samma lika, inte heller Västra Götalandsregionen och Västernorrland. I den här boken visar vi att centralisterna glömmer värdet av lokala lösningar som anpassas efter situationen och tar vara på det engagemang som finns i kommuner och regioner. Medborgarna riskera att förminskas till att bli passiva konsumenter av välfärd som planeras centralt. Ett ännu större problem är att den lokala och regionala självstyrelsen urvattnas. Den svenska demokratin vilar på ett nära utbyte mellan medborgare och politiker. Den svenska demokratin behöver mer av lokal problemlösning och engagemang. Annars riskerar demokratin att bli en urholkad teknokrati som övergår i auktoritärt styre. Den svenska demokratin bärs upp av 349 ledamöter i riksdagen och mer än 39 000 förtroendevalda i kommuner och regioner. Den kommunala självstyrelsen är en fundamental del av demokratin och det svenska flernivåstyret sedan mer än 150 år. I boken diskuteras ovanstående frågor och författarna ger förslag på lösningar som skulle stärka demokratin och öka effektiviteten lokalt och regionalt.

The classic book that established the principles and methods of modern intelligence analysisWith the outbreak of the Second World War, historian Sherman Kent left his classroom at Yale to join the Office of Strategic Services—the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency—where he adapted scholarly methods to the rigors and unique challenges of producing actionable intelligence in support of the war effort. In this remarkable book, Kent draws on the lessons he learned in wartime to lay the foundations for postwar security. He presents the doctrine and practices of intelligence analysis and explains why they are vital to national survival. Strategic Intelligence for American World Policy shows how intelligence activities and their consequences extend far beyond military considerations and are as essential to keeping the peace as they are to winning the war.

This new edition sets out an account of EU law that includes not only that law's established features, but captures its development in recent years and the challenges facing the European Union. With dedicated new chapters on climate change, data protection, free movement of capital, and the EU's relations with other European States, topics such as the Union's response to covid-19 and the Ukraine crisis are addressed in detail. As with previous editions, the new edition integrates case law, legislation, academic materials and wider policy contributions in a way that broadens students' understanding of the law and prompts greater critical reflection on the limits, challenges, and possibilities of EU law. It seeks to set out EU law not so much as a series of laws to be learned but as something that stimulates heavy debate about some of the most contentious and significant issues of our time.

Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.

The Oxford History of Poland-Lithuania
Volume I: The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, 1385-1569

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The history of eastern European is dominated by the story of the rise of the Russian empire, yet Russia only emerged as a major power after 1700. For 300 years the greatest power in Eastern Europe was the union between the kingdom of Poland and the grand duchy of Lithuania, one of the longest-lasting political unions in European history. Yet because it ended in the late-eighteenth century in what are misleadingly termed the Partitions of Poland, it barely features in standard accounts of European history. The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Union 1385-1569 tells the story of the formation of a consensual, decentralised, multinational, and religiously plural state built from below as much as above, that was founded by peaceful negotiation, not war and conquest. From its inception in 1385-6, a vision of political union was developed that proved attractive to Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, and Germans, a union which was extended to include Prussia in the 1450s and Livonia in the 1560s. Despite the often bitter disagreements over the nature of the union, these were nevertheless overcome by a republican vision of a union of peoples in one political community of citizens under an elected monarch. Robert Frost challenges interpretations of the union informed by the idea that the emergence of the sovereign nation state represents the essence of political modernity, and presents the Polish-Lithuanian union as a case study of a composite state. The modern history of Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus cannot be understood without an understanding of the legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian union. This volume is the first detailed study of the making of that union ever published in English.

Regionboken : Sverige på regional nivå
AvAgneta Blom,Jörgen Johanssonm. fl.
Häftad, Svenska, 2022
379 kr
Den regionala samhällsnivån har ökat i betydelse i både svenskt och europeiskt samhällsliv. Utvecklingen av regionerna har, enligt internationell forskning, utgjort den enskilt mest betydelsefulla förändringen i många europeiska länders statssystem. I Sverige blev alla landsting regioner 2019, med ansvar för hälso- och sjukvård och regional utveckling. Men resan dit har varit både komplex och konfliktfylld. Ansvar för och utformning av centrala funktioner som hälso- och sjukvård, klimatarbete, relationen stad–land, näringslivets förnyelse och samhällsberedskap är inte självklar.I den här boken undersöks spänningsfältet mellan stat och regional självstyrelse, i en föränderlig geografi och ur ett demokratiperspektiv. Syftet är att bidra till en fördjupad förståelse av politik och förvaltning på regional nivå i Sverige. Regionboken vänder sig till lärare och studenter i samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen vid högskolor och universitet, men också till den som har en aktiv roll i regioner, statliga myndigheter och kommuner, i näringsliv och civilsamhälle.
A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear
The Utopian Plot to Liberate an American Town (And Some Bears)

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road, turned that plan into reality.Public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws didn't disappear, but they got quieter: meek suggestions barely heard in the town's thick wilderness.The bears, on the other hand, were increasingly visible. Grafton's freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city, in an effort to get off the grid. And with a large and growing local bear population, conflict became inevitable.A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is both a screwball comedy and the story of a radically American commitment to freedom. Full of colorful characters, puns and jokes, and one large social experiment, it is a quintessentially American story, a bearing of our national soul.

Race, Immigration, and Health Care Exclusion in the Age of Obamacare
AvTiffany D. Joseph
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
455 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Examines how health policy shifts fail to fully serve immigrant communities due to structural racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric and enforcement measures.Despite progressive policy strides in health care reform, immigrant communities continue to experience stark disparities across the United States. In Not All In, Tiffany D. Joseph exposes the insidious contradiction of Massachusetts' advanced health care system and the exclusionary experiences of its immigrant communities. Joseph illustrates how patients' race, ethnicity, and legal status determine their access to health coverage and care services, revealing a disturbing paradox where policy advances and individual experiences drastically diverge. Examining Boston's Brazilian, Dominican, and Salvadoran communities, this book provides an exhaustive analysis spanning nearly a decade to highlight the profound impacts of the Affordable Care Act and subsequent policy shifts on these marginalized groups. Not All In is a critical examination of the systemic barriers that perpetuate health care disparities. Joseph challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about racialized legal status and its profound implications on health care access. This essential book illuminates the complexities of policy implementation and advocates for more inclusive reforms that genuinely cater to all. Urging policymakers, health care providers, and activists to rethink strategies that bridge the gap between legislation and life, this book reminds us that in the realm of health care, being progressive is not synonymous with inclusivity.

Nya Karolinska Solna (NKS) har fått stor medial uppmärksamhet under senare år. Sjukhusbygget har pågått under lång tid, rymt en stor budget och berört många människor. Det har ömsom hyllats, ömsom ifrågasatts. Här redovisas resultaten av ett treårigt forskningsprojekt som har undersökt beslutsprocesserna bakom NKS.
Boken handlar om de idéer som har varit betydelsefulla i beslutsprocesserna, om de aktörer som har agerat i dessa processer och om hur processerna har organiserats och kontrollerats. Ambitionen är att öka förståelsen för och kunskapen om den typ av komplexa beslutsprocesser som kännetecknar megaprojekt som NKS. Projektet har bedrivits vid Stockholms universitet i ett samarbete mellan Statsvetenskapliga institutionen, Stockholms centrum för forskning om offentlig sektor (Score) och Kulturgeografiska institutionen.

Patchwork Leviathan
Pockets of Bureaucratic Effectiveness in Developing States
AvErin Metz McDonnell
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
326 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Corruption and ineffectiveness are often expected of public servants in developing countries. However, some groups within these states are distinctly more effective and public oriented than the rest. Why? Patchwork Leviathan explains how a few spectacularly effective state organizations manage to thrive amid general institutional weakness and succeed against impressive odds. Drawing on the Hobbesian image of the state as Leviathan, Erin Metz McDonnell argues that many seemingly weak states actually have a wide range of administrative capacities. Such states are in fact patchworks sewn loosely together from scarce resources into the semblance of unity.McDonnell demonstrates that when the human, cognitive, and material resources of bureaucracy are rare, it is critically important how they are distributed. Too often, scarce bureaucratic resources are scattered throughout the state, yielding little effect. McDonnell reveals how a sufficient concentration of resources clustered within particular pockets of a state can be transformative, enabling distinctively effective organizations to emerge from a sea of ineffectiveness.Patchwork Leviathan offers a comprehensive analysis of successful statecraft in institutionally challenging environments, drawing on cases from contemporary Ghana and Nigeria, mid-twentieth-century Kenya and Brazil, and China in the early twentieth century. Based on nearly two years of pioneering fieldwork in West Africa, this incisive book explains how these highly effective pockets differ from the Western bureaucracies on which so much state and organizational theory is based, providing a fresh answer to why well-funded global capacity-building reforms fail—and how they can do better.

A lively, idiosyncratic, witty look at the heart of our political process by a man who has crossed over from observer to activist, to become one of our newest members of parliament.Boris Johnson, celebrated for his blonde thatch of hair as well as for his brilliant writing in the newspapers, and much liked for his appearances on television and radio, took notes throughout his period as prospective candidate and the election campaign. The result is a book that is lovely and fascinating, outspoken and funny, and yet raises real questions about the democratic process.Have you ever wondered about becoming a Member of Parliament? Or why other people do? Or considered what the prospective parliamentary candidates do as they stump around the constituency – making speeches, kissing babies, knocking on front doors, providing newspaper copy? Or what difference it makes to us?Boris Johnson has been a candidate in two elections. As a journalist, he is used to writing about politicians. Now he is himself being interviewed. So what does it feel like, with the tables turned?In his own inimitable style, Boris Johnson writes about his views on the role of MPs and what they can achieve today. He comments on life on the stump, and the pleasure (mostly) of meeting voters, on political parties, current issues, and how to persuade people to vote – all interwoven with stories of what happened to him on his way to a meeting…

‘An intimate, insightful portrait of an extraordinarily private leader’ WALTER ISAACSONFrom the bestselling author of Enemies of the People An intimate and deeply researched account of the extraordinary rise and political brilliance of the most powerful – and elusive – woman in the world. Angela Merkel has always been an outsider. A pastor’s daughter raised in Soviet-controlled East Germany, she spent her twenties working as a research chemist, only entering politics after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And yet within fifteen years, she had become chancellor of Germany and, before long, the unofficial leader of the West.Acclaimed author Kati Marton sets out to pierce the mystery of this unlikely ascent. With unparalleled access to the chancellor’s inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light, she teases out the unique political genius that is the secret to Merkel’s success. No other modern leader has so ably confronted authoritarian aggression, enacted daring social policies and calmly unified an entire continent in an era when countries are becoming only more divided. Again and again, she’s cleverly outmanoeuvred strongmen like Putin and Trump, and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron.Famously private, the woman who emerges from these pages is a role model for anyone interested in gaining and keeping power while staying true to one’s moral convictions. At once a riveting political biography, an intimate human portrait and a revelatory look at successful leadership in action, The Chancellor brings forth from the shadows one of the most extraordinary women of our time.
