Описание: Faced with government`s ineptitude, people are attracted to strong leaders and bold action. As Pierre Rosanvallon demonstrates, "presidentialism" may reflect the particular concerns of today, but its many precursors show that democracy has always struggled with tension between popular government and concentrated authority.

Описание: Explores the evolving role of contractors in the US Intelligence Community, particularly after the Cold War

• Draws on declassified documents and exclusive interviews with key stakeholders
• Develops a new conceptual framework to analyse intelligence accountability issues
• Provides a balanced analysis of intelligence outsourcing based on empirical evidence
In the 21st century, more than any other time, US agencies have relied on contractors to conduct core intelligence functions. This book charts the swell of intelligence outsourcing in the context of American political culture and considers what this means for the relationship between the state, its national security apparatus and accountability within a liberal democracy. Through analysis of a series of case studies, recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with national security experts in the public and private sectors, the book provides an in-depth and illuminating appraisal of the evolving accountability regime for intelligence contractors.

Описание:

This book is a response to the need for scientific research on one of the components of quality of democracy, id est accountability. The author analyses thoroughly in cross-section the accountability mechanisms in Poland and Spain. This approach required that each of the issues under investigation be reviewed synthetically, and only the aspects meaningful for the notion of accountability have been explored. This book may be a starting point for further, more in-depth analyses of accountability, not only in Poland and Spain but also in other countries.

Описание: Bellamy deploys a novel republican account of the legitimacy of international organisations, to locate the EU`s democratic deficiencies and their resolution at the national rather than the supranational level. This is for readers interested in global democracy, global justice, the statism-cosmopolitanism debate, EU politics, and republican theory.
