Constitutionalism and Human Rights
Kenneth W. Thompson; Rett R. Ludwikowski
University Press of America
1991
nidottu
This work is the sixth volume in the Miller Center Bicentennial Series on Constitutionalism. The contributors examine in several different essays the historical, political, and ideological connections among the constitutional experiences of France, Poland, and the United States. This study furthers the Miller Center's efforts to examine the United States Constitution and its interaction and interrelationship with other constitutions in the world. Although Poland's constitution was the focus of the book, the approach has been made unique by the fact that the study was not conducted solely through Polish eyes, but rather in relation to the constitutions which, with Poland, share the distinction of being the three oldest constitutions in the world, the French and the U.S. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.

Kenneth W. Thompson; Neal Riemer
University Press of America
1991

This book explores the provocative question, 'What has been, and will be, the impact of new thinking and developments upon international politics?' The essays discuss the new possibilities resulting from new thinking. These are: the end of the Cold War and the advent of a peaceful, prosperous Europe closely tied to the United States; an invigorated United Nations; a shift of attention to the new challenges posed by patterns of violence in areas of the world divorced from the Cold War; and the prospect of global democratization and greater global economic and ecological health. Essays include: Implications of Soviet New Thinking for International Politics: Clues from Eastern Europe; Remodeling NATO and Europe: Continuity and Change in European Security in the 1990s; Toward a New and Invigorated United Nations; Violent Conflict in the International System of the 1990s; International Economics in the 1990s; Information Revolution and the Shaping of a Democratic Global Order.

In particular, the contributors analyze the inadequacy of the United States' response to African problems (such as environmental decay, spiraling debt, and health epidemics) that do not respect national boundaries; the fragility of democracy in Africa and the danger of reversion to dictatorships; and the barriers to constitutional democracy in sub-Saharan Africa. The remainder of the book consists of case studies of various aspects of civil society from Mozambique, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

Gerard Piel, one of the nation's foremost writers on science policy, sees the nuclear crisis as the paramount problem of our times. He has been persistent in analyzing its underlying causes and in calling for a greater sense of urgency in ameliorating the perils of conflict. The first original essay addresses the nuclear question. The other essays in this book are reprints of earlier essays written in the 1950s and '60s by Mr. Piel. While he draws on examples of developments in an earlier phase of the arms race, the principles are relevant today, the issues raised a quarter century ago still remain unresolved.

Sidney Drell on Arms Control
Sidney Drell; Kenneth W. Thompson
University Press of America
1988
sidottu
In the lecture which spurred this volume, Sidney Drell equated arms control with the Strategic Defense Initiative and limited his comments exclusively to that subject. Drell stands out among scientists who have contributed to the dialogue on arms control. He has been an advisor to the U.S. government on issues of national security and science policy for many years and served on the President's Science Advisory Committee for Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Two qualities distinguish the speeches and writings collected here. Drell has kept alive the hope of arms control even in its darkest hours, and has clearly explained the scientific side of arms control to public policy students.
