Free Download Beryl A. Radin, "Beyond Machiavelli: Policy Analysis Reaches Midlife"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 158901958X | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.6 mb
In this new edition of Beyond Machiavelli, Beryl Radin updates her popular overview of the field of policy analysis. Radin, winner of the John Gaus Award from the American Political Science Association, considers the critical issues that confront the policy analysis practitioner, changes in the field, including the globalization of policy analysis, and the dramatic changes in the policy environment. She examines schools and careers; the conflict between the imperatives of analysis and the world of politics; the analytic tools that have been used, created, or discarded over the past fifty years; the relationship between decision makers and analysts as the field has multiplied and spread; and the assumptions about the availability and appropriateness of information that can be used in the analytic task.

Free Download Ralph Roeder, "Renaissance Lawgivers: Savonarola, Machiavelli, Castiglione and Aretino"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1412818249, 1138531804 | EPUB | pages: 592 | 3.2 mb
The Italian Renaissance culminated between the years 1494 and 1530. The figures examined in this classic volume illustrate four key figures representing the moral life of the period. The usual picture of that period is one of exuberant energy and positive achievement. Roeder reminds us that it was also one of moral travail and misery. Its triumphs are preserved in art, its reverses in its spiritual story. Both were the product of the same source: the period’s spiritual vitality. The book is written with a sharp eye for detail, and no less, a keen appreciation of what made the Italian Renaissance a gold mine in ideas no less than in art and literature.

Free Download Peter Paret, "Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age"
English | ISBN: 0691092354 | | 950 pages | AZW3 | 1353 KB
The essays in this volume analyze war, its strategic characterisitics and its political and social functions, over the past five centuries. The diversity of its themes and the broad perspectives applied to them make the book a work of general history as much as a history of the theory and practice of war from the Renaissance to the present. Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age takes the first part of its title from an earlier collection of essays, published by Princeton University Press in 1943, which became a classic of historical scholarship. Three essays are repinted from the earlier book; four others have been extensively revised. The rest-twenty-two essays-are new.

Free Download Machiavelli, Leonardo, and the Science of Power (Frank M. Covey, Jr., Loyola Lectures in Political Analysis) by Roger D. Masters
English | July 9, 1996 | ISBN: 0268014167, 0268014337 | True PDF | 406 pages | 14.9 MB
In recent years, Niccolò Machiavelli’s works have been viewed primarily with historical interest as analysis of the tactics used by immoral political officials. Roger D. Masters, a leading expert in the relationship between modern natural sciences and politics, argues boldly in this book that Machiavelli should be reconsidered as a major philosopher whose thought makes the wisdom of antiquity accessible to the modern (and post-modern) condition, and whose understanding of human nature is superior to that of Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, or Mill.
