 Joy Connolly, "The Life of Roman Republicanism" English | 2014 | ISBN: 069116259X | EPUB | pages: 256 | 3.1 mb In recent years, Roman political thought has attracted increased attention as intellectual historians and political theorists have explored the influence of the Roman republic on major thinkers from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. Held up as a "third way" between liberalism and communitarianism, neo-Roman republicanism promises useful, persuasive accounts of civic virtue, justice, civility, and the ties that bind citizens. But republican revivalists, embedded in modern liberal, democratic, and constitutional concerns, almost never engage closely with Roman texts. The Life of Roman Republicanism takes up that challenge.  Lawrence Goldman, "The Life of R. H. Tawney: Socialism and History" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1472577426, 1780937040 | PDF | pages: 433 | 1.8 mb R. H.

Lawrence Goldman shows that to understand Tawney's work it is necessary to understand his life.  Oren Barak, "The Lebanese Army: A National Institution in a Divided Society" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0791493458, 0791493466 | PDF | pages: 291 | 3.3 mb Oren Barak sheds new light on the major political and social developments in Lebanon since its independence by focusing on the emergence of the Lebanese Army, its paralysis during the civil war from 1975 to 1990, and its reconstruction after the war. He discusses the remarkable transformation of a military dominated by one sector of society-the Christian communities, and particularly the Maronites-into one that is characterized by power sharing among Lebanon's various communities, large families, and regions. The book develops a new approach to the study of the role of the military in divided societies by examining military institutions from three intertwined angles: first, as major arenas for social coexistence and conflict; second, as actors that are involved in politics but are also affected by political processes; and third, as actors that promote the process of state formation. This comprehensive look at Lebanon will inform the discussion of other divided societies, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, that face the dual challenge of restoring the political system and the security sector after state failure and intrastate conflict.
