Describes the sharp right turn the United States has takenfollowing the election of Ronald Reagan as president in 1980. Thetreatment details how the policies pursued by the Reaganadministration were a break from both the policies pursued by prioradministrations and those pursued in other wealthy countries.

Free Speech and Democracy in Ancient Athens
Illuminates the distinctive character of our modernunderstanding of the basis and value of free speech by contrastingit with the very different form of free speech that was practisedby the ancient Athenians in their democratic regime. Free speech inthe ancient democracy was not a protected right but an expressionof the freedom from hierarchy, awe, reverence and shame. It wasthus an essential ingredient of the egalitarianism of that regime.That freedom was challenged by the consequences of the rejection ofshame (aidos) which had served as a cohesive force within thepolity. Through readings of Socrates's trial, Greek tragedy andcomedy, Thucydides's History, and Plato's Protagoras this volumeexplores the paradoxical connections between free speech,democracy, shame, and Socratic philosophy and Thucydidean historyas practices of uncovering. ? Explores both ancient and modern theories of free speech ?Brings the notion of shame into democratic theory ? Offers novelreadings of some of the classic texts o

A History of Iraq(ISBN=9780521702478) 英文原版
To understand Iraq, Charles Tripp's history is the book toread. Since its first appearance in 2000, it has become a classicin the field of Middle East studies, read and admired by students,soldiers, policymakers and journalists. The book is now updated toinclude the recent American invasion, the fall and capture ofSaddam Hussein and the subsequent descent into civil strife. Whatis clear is that much that has happened since 2003 was foreshadowedin the account found in this book. Tripp's thesis is that thehistory of Iraq throughout the twentieth-century has made it whatit is today, but also provides alternative futures. Unless this isproperly understood, many of the themes explored in this book -patron-client relations, organized violence, sectarian, ethnic andtribal difference - will continue to exert a hold over the futureof Iraq as they did over its past. ?

Advertising and Satirical Culture in the Romantic Period(ISB
Advertising, which developed in the late eighteenth century asan increasingly sophisticated and widespread form of brandmarketing, would seem a separate world from that of the'literature' of its time. Yet satirists and parodists wereinfluenced by and responded to advertising, while copywritersborrowed from the wider literary culture, especially throughpoetical advertisements and comic imitation. This 2007 study topays sustained attention to the cultural resonance and literaryinfluences of advertising in the late eighteenth and earlynineteenth centuries. John Strachan addresses the many ways inwhich literary figures including George Crabbe, Lord Byron andCharles Dickens responded to the commercial culture around them.With its many fascinating examples of contemporary advertisementsread against literary texts, this study combines an intriguingapproach to the literary culture of the day with an examination ofthe cultural impact of its commercial language. ?
