Free Download The Rule of Law: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Aziz Z. Huq
English | September 4th, 2024 | ISBN: 0197657427 | 152 pages | True EPUB | 1.04 MB
Politicians, judges, and citizens commonly use the phrase "rule of law" to describe some good that flows from a legal system. But what precisely is that good? Even in Aristotle’s time, there was no agreement on either its nature, and on whether it counted as an unqualified good. Even now, a core rule-of-law aspiration is that law can constrain how power is flexed. But how or when? Disagreement persists as to whether the rule of law is a matter of how law is used or why it is deployed. In consequence, the World Bank, the leaders of Singapore’s one-party state, and the Communist Party in China can all offer their own spins on the concept.

Free Download Thomas Ferguson, "Golden Rule: The Investment Theory of Party Competition and the Logic of Money-Driven Political Systems "
English | ISBN: 0226243176 | | 440 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
"To discover who rules, follow the gold." This is the argument of Golden Rule, a provocative, pungent history of modern American politics. Although the role big money plays in defining political outcomes has long been obvious to ordinary Americans, most pundits and scholars have virtually dismissed this assumption. Even in light of skyrocketing campaign costs, the belief that major financial interests primarily determine who parties nominate and where they stand on the issues-that, in effect, Democrats and Republicans are merely the left and right wings of the "Property Party"-has been ignored by most political scientists. Offering evidence ranging from the nineteenth century to the 1994 mid-term elections, Golden Rule shows that voters are "right on the money."

Free Download Iutisone Salevao, "Rule of law, legitimate governance & development in the Pacific"
English | 2011 | pages: 207 | ISBN: 0731537211 | PDF | 1,0 mb
The notion that the rule of law embodies or guarantees all the essential requirements for a perfectly just society is extravagant and naïve. Nonetheless, the rule of law remains an essential human virtue whose usefulness the world has yet to outgrow. Using the rule of law as a mobilising theme, this book recasts Western theories of law, good governance and development in a Pacific perspective. While Iutisone Salevao works primarily within a legal analytical framework, he employs a multifaceted approach to address the challenge of making Western theories relevant to the concrete and normative contexts of the Pacific peoples, and to accommodate Pacific values, ideologies, structures and practices within the modern discourse on law.

Free Download Jeremy Taylor, "Rule and Exercises of Holy Living and Dying"
English | 2018 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 1628242906 | EPUB | 0,2 mb
The Rule and Exercises of Holy Living and Holy Dying is the collective title of two books by Jeremy Taylor. Known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetical style, Taylor made a name for himself as a theologian and devotional writer. He was eventually made bishop of Down and Connor Church, in Ireland.Published respectively in 1650 and 1651, Holy Living instructs the reader on leading a virtuous life, while Holy Dying offers guidance on preparing for a pious Christian death.Seventy-five years after their publication John Wesley discovered Taylor’s works-an encounter he said left him "exceedingly affected." Taylor’s works inspired the spiritual turning point for Wesley, who said that upon reading, he immediately resolved to dedicate all his life to God.While the language of Taylor’s time may seem demanding, the underlying principles shine as brightly as ever. Though presented in religious context, readers will recognize popular concepts such as time management, social networking, self-control, and personal accountability.These things and more reside within Taylor’s Rule and Exercises of Holy Living and Holy Dying, seeking to provide Christians with a fundamental understanding of how to manage our day-to-day affairs in order better to serve ourselves, and our God.
