Moving beyond the narrow focus on institutions that currently prevails in studies of democratization, this book demonstrates the value of a more ethnographic and society-oriented approach.Southeast European Studies.DemocracySerbiaDemocracyBulgariaPolitical participationSerbiaPolitical participationBulgariaDemocracyDemocracyPolitical participationPolitical participation306.2094971Dawson James1979-1719063MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812109103321Cultures of democracy in Serbia and Bulgaria4116543UNINA04723nam 2200649 a 450 991022010600332120200520144314.01-281-18116-197866111811610-8330-4276-9(CKB)1000000000481456(EBL)322556(OCoLC)476120042(SSID)ssj0000254426(PQKBManifestationID)11229661(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000254426(PQKBWorkID)10208282(PQKB)10639209(Au-PeEL)EBL322556(CaPaEBR)ebr10225477(OCoLC)184844256(MiAaPQ)EBC322556(oapen)doab114677(EXLCZ)99100000000048145620070329d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSustaining U.S. nuclear submarine design capabilities /John F.

Such a loss could result in higher costs and delays when the next submarine design is undertaken, as well as risks to system performance and safety. The authors estimate and compare the costs and delays of letting design capability erode vs. those of alternative means of managing the workload and workforce over the gap in design demand and beyond.
