Has the growth of corporate capitalism, mass economic inequality, and endemic corruption reversed the spread of democracy worldwide? In this incisive collection, leading thinkers address this disturbing and critically important issue. Published as part of the National Endowment for Democracy's 25th anniversary--and drawn from articles forthcoming in the Journal of Democracy--this collection includes seven essays from a stellar group of democracy scholars: Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, Thomas Carothers, Marc Plattner, Larry Diamond, Philippe Schmitter, Steven Levitsky, Ivan Krastev, and Lucan Way. Written in a thought-provoking style from seven different perspectives, this book provides an eye-opening look at how the very foundation of Western political culture may be imperiled"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"For almost a decade, Freedom House's annual survey has highlighted a decline in democracy in most regions of the globe. While some analysts draw upon this evidence to argue that the world has entered a "democratic recession," others dispute that interpretation, emphasizing instead democracy's success in maintaining the huge gains it made during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Discussion of this question has moved beyond disputes about how many countries should be classified as democratic to embrace a host of wider concerns about the health of democracy: the poor economic and political performance of advanced democracies, the new self-confidence and assertiveness of a number of leading authoritarian countries, and a geopolitical weakening of democracies relative to these resurgent authoritarians.In Democracy in Decline?, eight of the world's leading public intellectuals and scholars of democracy--Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, Philippe C. Schmitter, Steven Levitsky, Lucan Way, Thomas Carothers, and editors Larry Diamond and Marc F. Plattner--explore these concerns and offer competing viewpoints about the state of democracy today. This short collection of essays is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the latest thinking on one of the most critical questions of our era"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aJournal of democracy book. 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aDemocratization 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aDemocratization. 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a321.8 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL009000$2bisacsh 702 $aDiamond$b Larry Jay 702 $aPlattner$b Marc F.$f1945- 702 $aFukuyama$b Francis 702 $aRice$b Condoleezza 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797347803321 996 $aDemocracy in decline$93818057 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04466nam 22006855 450 001 9910337878403321 005 20200701053121.0 010 $a3-030-11917-3 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-11917-1 035 $a(CKB)4100000008160644 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-11917-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5927676 035 $a(PPN)236525069 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000008160644 100 $a20190509d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLaser-Tissue Interactions $eFundamentals and Applications /$fby Markolf H.

Niemz (Heidelberg University) has become the standard reference book in this fast growing field. It addresses basic concepts such as optical and thermal tissue properties, hard and soft tissue ablation, and photobiomodulation. Clinical applications are reviewed according to the latest references. The last chapter covers today's standards of laser safety with a careful selection of essential guidelines published by the Laser Institute of America. This fourth edition has been completely revised and updated. Color illustrations, summaries, and questionnaires with solutions transform this book into a useful guide for graduate students, scientists, and medical practitioners.
