Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the former national security advisor and secretary of state comes a “sharp and penetrating . . . reminder that foreign-policy choices facing the United States are complex and difficult, with no easy solutions” (The Washington Post). A native of Birmingham, Alabama, who overcame the racism of the civil rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Condoleezza Rice first distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign, and eventually became one of his closest confidantes. Once he was elected, she served first as his chief advisor on national security issues and later as America’s chief diplomat. From the aftermath of September 11, 2001, when she stood at the center of the administration’s efforts to protect the nation, to her efforts as secretary of state to manage the world’s volatile relationships with North Korea, Iran, and Libya, her service to America led her to confront some of the worst crises the country has ever faced. This is her unflinchingly honest story of that remarkable time, from what really went on behind closed doors when the fates of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Lebanon often hung in the balance and how frighteningly close all-out war loomed in clashes involving Pakistan-India and Russia-Georgia, to her candid appraisal of her colleagues and contemporaries. In No Higher Honor, Condoleezza Rice delivers a master class in statecraft—but always in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.

The German Prosecution Service
Author: Shawn Marie Boyne
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642409288
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Acclaimed as the "the most objective prosecutors in the world", the German prosecution service has long attracted the attention in the past of comparative law scholars. At first glance, the institutional position and statutory mandate of German prosecutors indicate that that reputation is well-deserved. Unfortunately, the introduction of charge-bargaining has opened the door to criticism that German prosecutors have abandoned their role of objective decision-makers. Using interview data collected from interviews with German prosecutors themselves as well as quantitative data, the book uses the actual voices of German prosecutors to show how real-world constraints, rather than changes in the law, undermine the ability of German prosecutors to objectively seek the truth. The book will take readers behind closed doors where prosecutors discuss case decisions and unveil the realities of practice. As a result, it will critically revise previous studies of German prosecution practices and offer readers a well-researched ethnographic analysis of actual German decision-making practices and the culture of the prosecution service. Unlike prosecutors in America's adversarial system, whom critics claim are driven by a "conviction-mentality" and gamesmanship, German prosecutors are institutionally positioned to function as (at least semi-)judicial officials dedicated to finding a case's objective truth. The book argues that, organizational incentives and norms, rather than the boundaries of the law determinately shapes how prosecutors investigate and prosecute crime in Germany.

Colorado Politics and Policy
Author: Thomas E. Cronin
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803244894
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Survey after survey reveals that many Coloradans believe that the U.S. government is too big, too wasteful, and too intrusive. Yet Colorado is arguably one of the most federally subsidized states in the union, with forests, national parks, military bases, and research laboratories benefiting from the federal government’s largesse. A concise history of Colorado’s constitution and central political institutions, Colorado Politics and Policy offers a probing analysis of the state’s political cultures. It shows how the state, in many ways a template of the deeply contrary politics of the nation, puts political power into the hands of an ever-more-polarized electorate increasingly inclined to put the concerns of government to the test of the citizen-initiative. Colorado Politics and Policy is the result of broad-gauged and sophisticated research which includes author interviews with citizens and officials across the state, three specially commissioned statewide public opinion surveys, and extensive interviews with governors, legislators, judges, lobbyists, interest group leaders, and leading political analysts. This fresh and engaging interpretation is essential reading for those who want to understand Colorado’s major election trends, chief public policy and budget challenges, and this distinctively purple state’s unique political history.

Adjusting to God's High Calling
Author: Silvanus Oluoch
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453513779
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Adjusting to God¡¦s High Calling is about God¡¦s desire, intentions and interactions with the humans, which He intended from time immemorial. It is a call to the Divine realms of higher living in Christ Jesus. It explains that within the Divine purpose, God¡¦s desire is the flowing forth of His life into and through His people, but which can be hindered. It also points out that true Christianity is presently being inundated in the human traditions and philosophies within the religious sector, turning it into many things it is not. The book posits it is simply God¡¦s dynamically balanced life of grace in the Spirit, lived in oneness with the reigning Lord. True Christianity, therefore „` Is not constant prideful protestations, arguments and hatred among its various constituencies over their points of belief „` Is not intellectualism; theological or otherwise, though it is not against either „` Is not emotionalism based solely on people¡¦s experiences, though it is not against emotional expression „` Is neither simply knowing nor subscribing to the right doctrines „` Is not all grace or love alone Adjusting to God¡¦s High Calling discusses these and other factors in the following phases: „` The Divine Importunity for the Call „` The Divine Intentions of the Call „` The Divine Interactions within the Call It will clarify God¡¦s purpose for your life, moving you to do everything with love.
