A Glossary of Political Theory

A Glossary of Political Theory

John Hoffman

Edinburgh University Press
2007
nidottu
This book covers alphabetically both the major concepts in political theory and the key writers in the field. While ensuring accuracy and objectivity, the entries represent interpretations that are both challenging and interesting. The premise underlying the book is that politics cannot be studied without theory, in which case the more concrete and relevant the theory, the better. Presenting theory in an abstract fashion makes it daunting for students who can find it difficult to see the links between theory and practice. The definitions in this glossary therefore relate political ideas to political realities (i.e. everyday controversies) in an attempt to make them as lively, stimulating and accessible as possible. Terms are selected based upon the concepts most regularly used in teaching.

Citizenship Beyond the State

Citizenship Beyond the State

John Hoffman

SAGE Publications Inc
2004
sidottu
Is 'citizenship' still a useful concept? Can citizens - and democracy - exist independently of the state? This text provides an accessible guide to the theories and debates that surround the key political concepts of state, citizenship, and democracy today. John Hoffman reviews the modern development of these concepts from the classic texts of Marx and Weber to the post-war critiques of the feminist, multicultural and critical theorists and considers the on-going barriers to a full realisation of a democratic citizenship. By carefully considering what the state is and what it does, Hoffman shows that it is possible to respond to these critiques and challenges and 'reclaim' citizenship and democracy as inclusive and emancipatory, rather than divisive and controlling. In advancing this alternative view of a 'stateless' citizenship, Hoffman opens up new possibilities for conceiving power and society in contemporary politics today. It will be essential reading for all students of politics and sociology for whom the questions of state, nationality, power and identity remain of central importance.

Fearless Faith and the Atomic Power of Faith and Love

Fearless Faith and the Atomic Power of Faith and Love

John Hoffman

Christian Faith Publishing, Inc
2021
pokkari
The love that God has for us is limitless, and absolutely nothing can separate us from it. When the angels got the revelation of the love that God has for us, they had to ask the question, "God, what is man that you be so mindful of him?" God said we don't have to come to him hesitating or fearful, but we can come boldly to the throne of grace, most especially for mercy and grace that we will need in trying times. When we refuse to come boldly before the throne, we deprive ourselves of our own needs. We deny ourselves the joy of coming to our own Father who loves us.Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.-John 15:13

Many people have gone on the endless quest to change their life circumstances for the better. The only problem is people look to external sources (self-help books or self- help classes. Positive motivational speakers.) True change starts by having your inner person changed. There is a person in Christianity who has the power, love and desire to change you and your circumstances forever, and that is "Jesus Christ". Jesus paid a dear price to change your life dramatically. Millions have changed their lives throughout history. How? By talking daily to Jesus. Read about Him in the Bible. Discover His answer to life even eternity's problems. He has all the answers for you. His method is free and has worked over thousands of years and been experienced by millions of people all over the world. Many people have had encounters with Jesus Christ. These encounters can be powerful and life-changing. The best part is that all these promises may sound too good to be true. They're not, because the One who made the promises is the author of the Bible. He always keeps His word. He has kept His Word for thousands of years. You just have to invite Him into your life to be His friend. He is the only One who can give you inner peace. He guarantees if you ask Him to be your friend He will give you eternal life. Do these promises sound beyond your human ability? They are. This is why we need Jesus Christ to empower us to take a hold of these promises. In this book, we will talk about how Christians can have the power to resist temptations in our everyday life. We will also answer a lot of Christianity related questions and find out why we should follow the risen Lord Jesus.

Delinquency Theories

Delinquency Theories

John Hoffmann

Routledge
2011
sidottu
Delinquency Theories: Appraisals and applications provides a fulsome and accessible overview of contemporary theories of juvenile delinquency.The book opens with a comprehensive description of what a theory is, and explains how theories are created in the social sciences. Following on, each subsequent chapter is dedicated to describing an individual theory, broken down and illustrated within four distinct sections. Initially, each chapter tells the tale of a delinquent youth, and from this example a thorough review of the particular theory and related research can be undertaken to explain the youth’s delinquent behaviour. The third and fourth sections of each chapter critically analyze the theories, and provide a straightforward discussion of policy implications of each, thus encouraging readers to evaluate the usefulness of these theories and also to consider the relationship between theory and policy.This text is an invaluable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students of subjects such as youth justice, delinquency, social theory, and criminology.
