Free Download Ellis S. Krauss, "The Rise and Fall of Japan’s LDP: Political Party Organizations as Historical Institutions"
English | ISBN: 0801476828 | 2010 | 336 pages | PDF | 23 MB
After holding power continuously from its inception in 1955 (with the exception of a ten-month hiatus in 1993-1994), Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lost control of the national government decisively in September 2009. Despite its defeat, the LDP remains the most successful political party in a democracy in the post-World War II period. In The Rise and Fall of Japan’s LDP, Ellis S. Krauss and Robert J. Pekkanen shed light on the puzzle of the LDP’s long dominance and abrupt defeat. Several questions about institutional change in party politics are at the core of their investigation: What incentives do different electoral systems provide? How do politicians adapt to new incentives? How much does structure determine behavior, and how much opportunity does structure give politicians to influence outcomes? How adaptable are established political organizations?

Free Download Baogang Guo, "China’s Quiet Rise: Peace Through Integration "
English | ISBN: 0739146467 | 2011 | 192 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Despite China’s desire to make its rapid ascendance in the 21st century as non provocative as possible, the key to ensure China’s peaceful rise lies in two-way integration and engagement. A closely integrated China with the rest of the world and China’s acceptance of existing international norms and rules may compel China to behave in a more predictable and responsive way. This co-edited book examines China’s rising military capacity and the complex feelings its neighbors, such as Taiwan, South Korea and India, have toward the increasingly powerful China. The focus of this book is on the efforts made by China to brand her non-aggressive image through promoting public diplomacy and expanding regional free trade and cooperation in Asia and Latin America. It uses the cross-Taiwan-strait relations as a testing ground for the prospect of peace between the two former adversaries.

Free Download Anne Stiles, "Children’s Literature and the Rise of ‘Mind Cure’: Positive Thinking and Pseudo-Science at the Fin de Siècle "
English | ISBN: 1108823777 | 2022 | 270 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Positive thinking is good for you. You can become healthy, wealthy, and influential by using the power of your mind to attract what you desire. These kooky but commonplace ideas stem from a nineteenth-century new religious movement known as ‘mind cure’ or New Thought. Related to Mary Baker Eddy’s Christian Science, New Thought was once a popular religious movement with hundreds of thousands of followers, and has since migrated into secular contexts such as contemporary psychotherapy, corporate culture, and entertainment. New Thought also pervades nineteenth- and early twentieth-century children’s literature, including classics such as The Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, and A Little Princess. In this first book-length treatment of New Thought in Anglophone fiction, Anne Stiles explains how children’s literature encouraged readers to accept New Thought ideas – especially psychological concepts such as the inner child – thereby ensuring the movement’s survival into the present day.
