Book Description
This biography presents an intimate picture of Stephen Gladstone, the previously ignored son of Prime Minister William Gladstone, whose life was tormented by the expectations and interference of his father, his mother Catherine and his sister Mary. It sets his fascinating character, caught between duty and self-doubt, firmly in its historical context, tracing his progress through the horrors of a 19th-century prep school, his 32 years as the reluctant and restless Rector of Hawarden, his mysteriously acquired final incumbency and the desolating personal effects of the First World War.

Cambodia
Author: Sorpong Peou
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351756508
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 628
Book Description
This title was first published in 2001. This text offers a comprehensive view of controversial issues surrounding Cambodia's past, present and possible future development. It brings together a selection of journal articles about the wartorn country to examine critical issues concerning change and continuity in contemporary Cambodian politics. The book covers violence, war and peace, the Constitution, human rights and the pursuit of justice, democratic development and dilemmas, gender and ethnic relations and economic development and problems. These themes should be instructive for scholars, policymakers and interested individuals dealing with what has been termed "triple transition": from armed conflict to the end of violent hostility, from political authoritarianism to liberal democracy and from socialist economic systems to market-driven or capitalist ones. The book shows that the trajectory towards peace, democracy and sustainable development is complex, full of dangers and in need of careful management.

Can education be run as a profitable business and still be driven by a humanitarian vision? SABIS® shows the answer is yes.

International Election Observers in Post-Soviet Azerbaijan
Author: Stina Torjesen
Publisher: ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press
ISBN: 383825743X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Azerbaijan’s parliamentary elections in November 2005 became an arena where domestic and international actors jostled for influence and control. This book highlights the role of international observers in the election process, and presents in-depth assessments of the pre- and post-election situation in Azerbaijan. The 2005 parliamentary elections are of special interest for several reasons. First, oil-rich Azerbaijan offers interesting insights on the relationship between energy wealth and democratisation. Second, the elections in Azerbaijan received considerable international attention. They were seen as a test case of whether the wave of regime change that had affected Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan would spread to other countries in the region. Third, for the first time, a large number of Russian observers served within the Office for Democratic Institution and Human Rights (ODIHR) election observation mission. Finally, the case of Azerbaijan also highlights the methodological and technical aspects of election observation. Among other things, there was extensive – and arguably problematic – use of exit polls. Contents:Leila Alieva on the 2005 international observation mission – Ulvi Amirbekov on the institutional framework – Zafar Guliev on democratic expectations versus the reality of imitation – Zardusht Alizade on the elections as a mirror of Azeri politics and society – Rustam Seyidov on the post-election situation – Torgrul Juvarly and Ali Abasov on economic implications of the elections.
