Highlighting the intricacy and diversity of early-twentieth-century pluralism, a diversity often obscured in the existing literature, Čcile Laborde offers a wide-ranging and highly original survey of an influential school of thought. In an ambitious comparison of the works of British writers such as Figgis, Cole and Laski, and French writers such as Duguit, Berth and Leroy, she sheds light on the national determinants of political theorizing. Drawing on intellectual, social and political history, the book explains how and why French pluralism split into anarchism and corporatism, while British pluralism maintained a precarious balance between groups and the state. Pluralist Thought and the State is a major contribution to the study of national traditions of thought and to the understanding of relationships between state, groups and individuals in democratic societies "This is the first comparative study of pluralist critiques of the state in France and Britain.

"The twentieth century posed great challenges for British foreign policy. How effectively did policymakers cope with change and decline? Were they as pragmatic as they claimed? Are there identifiable patterns of success and failure?". "Peter Mangold seeks to answer these questions in this new thematic account of British foreign policy between 1900 and 2000. Issues covered include imperial overstretch, the reluctance to engage militarily and politically with continental Europe, alliance management, the role of force, loss of Great Power status, and Britain's impact on the international system. The final chapter considers prospects for the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.

Rather than viewing the issue as Islam versus the rest, or tradition against modernity, this volume acknowledges the mutualities without overlooking the tensions. It centers on issues such as the Rushdie affair, conflictive pluralism in South Asia and Islam's links with the Kashmir dispute, the Iranian revolution, civil war in Afghanistan, and western public diplomacy. This is the first comparative study of early twentieth-century French and British schools of political pluralism. A wide-ranging survey of the works of thinkers such as JN Figgis, GDH Cole, Harold Laski, Edouard Berth, Maxime Leroy and Léon Duguit, Pluralist Thought and the State in Britain and France, 1900-25 is a major contribution both to the study of national tradition of political thought and to the understanding of relationships between state, groups and individuals in democratic societies. "This book gives an economic perspective to the analysis of deforestation. Following a survey of different deforestation definitions, theories and empirical evidence, a case-study of Ecuador provides a versatile historical picture of factors influencing forest loss throughout different periods, regions and ecosystems."--BOOK JACKET.
