Conceived originally as a tool for familiarizing Western intellectuals with the rich history and culture of Bulgaria and its people, the book presents as well - albeit briefly - the other Balkan nationalities and their interrelations. The case is made for the injustice wrought upon the country by the Great Powers, such that within the last 130 years or so since its liberation from the Ottoman yoke it has been splintered into multiple pieces, each donated to a different neighbour. Specifically, the call is justified for unification between Bulgaria and it's southwestern part that is known under the name of Republic of ... |

It has become a truism that you may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Politics is inescapable because the term denotes, in its widest sense, the way in which relations of power are constructed in a given society. And there is no escaping power in the relations between human beings. In this volume we have attempted to unveil the origins, evolution and meaning of key political terms, as well as to outline the debates around each one. It is our conviction that this effort will help not only our students but also the general public to become fruitfully involved in current politics in the ... |

He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left. What emerges from his acute observation of English rituals, habits and attitudes is his belief that these are the very things with which the English ... |

Бенджамин Франклин казва веднъж: "Никога не е имало добра война или лош мир". Но какво определя дали войната ще бъде избрана пред мира? Многократно награждаваният социолог Майкъл Ман стига до заключението, че шепа политически лидери - хора, подвластни на различни емоции и идеологии и ограничени в своите действия от рамките на традиционната за тяхната страна култура и институции - всъщност вземат тези решения, като обикновено правят неразумния избор на войната и рядко постигат желаните от тях резултати. Ученият изследва причините дадена обществена група да наложи решението за водене на война; различните ѝ ... |
