Sexual Scandals and Politics, Past and Present -- Notes -- IndexAre sex scandals simply trivial distractions from serious issues or can they help democratize politics? In 1820, George IV's "royal gambols" with his mistresses endangered the Old Oak of the constitution. When he tried to divorce Queen Caroline for adultery, the resulting scandal enabled activists to overcome state censorship and revitalize reform. Looking at six major British scandals between 1763 and 1820, this book demonstrates that scandals brought people into politics because they evoked familiar stories of sex and betrayal. In vibrant prose woven with vivid character sketches and illustrations, Anna Clark explains that activists used these stories to illustrate constitutional issues concerning the Crown, Parliament, and public opinion. Clark argues that sex scandals grew out of the tension between aristocratic patronage and efficiency in government. For instance, in 1809 Mary Ann Clarke testified that she took bribes to persuade her royal lover, the army's commander-in-chief, to promote officers, buy government offices, and sway votes. Could women overcome scandals to participate in politics? This book also explains the real reason why the glamorous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, became so controversial for campaigning in a 1784 election. Sex scandal also discredited Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the first feminists, after her death. Why do some scandals change politics while others fizzle? Edmund Burke tried to stir up scandal about the British empire in India, but his lurid, sexual language led many to think he was insane. A unique blend of the history of sexuality and women's history with political and constitutional history, Scandal opens a revealing new window onto some of the greatest sex scandals of the past. In doing so, it allows us to more fully appreciate the sometimes shocking ways democracy has become what it is today.SexPolitical aspectsGreat BritainHistory18th centurySexPolitical aspectsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPolitical corruptionGreat BritainHistory18th centuryPolitical corruptionGreat BritainHistory19th centuryScandalsGreat BritainHistory18th centuryScandalsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government18th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government19th centurySexPolitical aspectsHistorySexPolitical aspectsHistoryPolitical corruptionHistoryPolitical corruptionHistoryScandalsHistoryScandalsHistory328320.94109 CLAClark Anna327301MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790629403321Scandal3708030UNINA04512oam 2200733I 450 991078896180332120230725052521.00-429-25159-91-4200-7182-397866123360891-282-33608-81-4398-7561-810.1201/9781420071825 (CKB)3400000000002126(EBL)565895(OCoLC)664233743(SSID)ssj0000308987(PQKBManifestationID)11239692(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000308987(PQKBWorkID)10266728(PQKB)11080287(MiAaPQ)EBC565895(Au-PeEL)EBL565895(CaPaEBR)ebr10340937(CaONFJC)MIL233608(OCoLC)489423411(EXLCZ)99340000000000212620180331d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrScience and technology of terrorism and counterterrorism /editors, Tushar K.

Taking into account these practical considerations, the second edition of Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism discusses the nature of terrorism and the materials used by terrorists. It describes how intelligence professionals and law enforcement personnel can detect and destroy these materials, and how they can deal with terrorist groups.ThisPublic administration and public policy ;156.TerrorismTechnological innovationsBioterrorismChemical terrorismNuclear terrorismTerrorismTechnological innovations.Bioterrorism.Chemical terrorism.Nuclear terrorism.363.325Ghosh Tushar K.Dr.767946MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788961803321Science and technology of terrorism and counterterrorism3850268UNINA01014nam0 22002771i 450 UON0031739920231205104125.17396-305-8181-720081118d2004 |0itac50 bahunHU|||| 1||||Orpheus nyomábanRadnóti Miklós élete és koraZsuzsanna OzsváthBudapestAkadémiai Kiadó2004242 p.25 cm.RADNOTI MIKLOSUONC047399FIHUBudapestUONL000090894.511Letteratura ungherese21OZSVATHZsuzsannaUONV181877698406Akadémiai KiadóUONV245960650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00317399SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI UNGHERESE C 0324 SI EO 41207 5 0324 Orpheus nyomában1374530UNIOR
