Sommario/riassunto |

"This new edition of The Twenty-Fifth Amendment: Its Complete History and Applications updates John Feerick's landmark study with the Amendment's uses in the past twenty years and how those uses (along with new legal scholarship) have changed the Amendment and perceptions of presidential disability in general. In its formulation, the Twenty-fifth Amendment was criticized as vague and undemocratic, but it has made possible swift and orderly successions to the highest offices in the U.S. government during some of the most extraordinary events in American history. The extent of its authority has been tested over the years: During the Watergate crisis, it was proposed that the Amendment might afford a means by which a president could transfer presidential power during an impeachment proceeding, and it was also suggested that the Amendment could authorize a vice president and cabinet to suspend a president during a Senate impeachment trial. Where once presidential disability was stigmatized, today a president under general anesthesia cedes presidential authority for the length of the procedure with little controversy. The Twenty-fifth Amendment is evolving rapidly, and this book is an invaluable guide for legal scholars, government decision makers, historians, political scientists, teachers, and students studying the nation's highest offices."-- |

Sommario/riassunto |

"The Making of New World Slavery sostiene che il commercio indipendente, orientato ai fiorenti mercati dei consumatori, fu la forza trainante dietro l'ascesa della schiavitù nelle piantagioni. Lo stato barocco cercò -- con successo -- di nutrirsi di questo commercio e -- senza successo -- di regolamentare la schiavitù e le relazioni razziali. Per illustrare questa storia, Blackburn esamina l'impiego degli schiavi nei possedimenti coloniali dei portoghesi, degli spagnoli, degli olandesi, degli inglesi e dei francesi. Si dimostra che la schiavitù nelle piantagioni è emersa dagli impulsi della società civile, non dalle strategie dei singoli stati. Robin Blackburn sostiene che l'organizzazione delle piantagioni di schiavi ha posto l'Occidente su un percorso distruttivo verso la modernità e che alternative di gran lunga preferibili sono state sia proposte che respinte. Infine, dimostra che l'ondata del commercio atlantico, basata sulla fatica omicida delle piantagioni, ha dato un contributo decisivo sia alla rivoluzione industriale che all'ascesa dell'Occidente. |
