In truth, Machiavelli's ideas have never lost their value. Although "Machiavellian" as an adjective tends to describe amoral cynicism in contemporary usage, Machiavelli's ideas were deeply ethical and oriented towards achieving long-term goals. Contemporary readers may be put off by medieval language and examples, misled into believing Machiavelli speaks to a different age; and yet the author here explores how Machiavellian strategy can be of value? ethical as well as practical?in the 21st century. Jean-François Caron is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Nazarbayev University where he teaches Political Theory. 410 0$aThe Steppe and Beyond: Studies on Central Asia,$x2524-8367 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 676 $a320.1092 700 $aCaron$b Jean-François$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0958489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484574903321 996 $aThe Prince 2.0: Applying Machiavellian Strategy to Contemporary Political Life$92843778 997 $aUNINA
