Gallatin was the first president of the council of New York University and his name lives on at NYU?s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, so it is with pride that New York University Press and the Swiss Confederation publish this new biography of Gallatin. Gallatin?s story is the opposite of the classic American immigrant tale. Born in Geneva, the product of an old and noble family and highly educated in the European tradition, Gallatin made contributions to America throughout his career that far outweighed any benefit he procured for himself. He got his first taste of politics as a Pennsylvania state representative and went on to serve in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Gallatin became the Secretary of Treasury in Jefferson?s administration and, despite being of the opposite political party to Alexander Hamilton, Gallatin fully respected his predecessor?s fiscal politics. Gallatin undertook a special diplomatic mission for President Madison, which ended the War of 1812 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent and gave the United States its genuine independence. Gallatin continued in diplomacy as minister to France and to Great Britain, where he skillfully combined his American experience and European background. In the early 1830's, at the age of seventy, he retired from politics and commenced a new career in New York City as a banker, public figure, and intellectual. He helped establish New York University and the American Ethnological Society, became an expert in Native American ethnology and linguistics, and served as president of the New-York Historical Society. Gallatin died at age 88 and is buried in Trinity churchyard at Broadway and Wall Street. In our own day, as we look at reforming our financial system and seek to enhance America?s global image, it is well worth resurrecting Albert Gallatin?s timeless contributions to the United States, at home and abroad. Nicholas Dungan?s compelling biography reinserts this forgotten Founding Father into the historical canon and reveals the transatlantic dimensions of early American history.Co-published with the Swiss Confederation, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. 606 $aStatesmen$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSwiss Americans$vBiography 607 $aGeneva (Switzerland)$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1783-1865 610 $aAmerican. 610 $aDungans. 610 $aFather. 610 $aFounding. 610 $aNicholas. 610 $abiography. 610 $acanon. 610 $acompelling. 610 $adimensions. 610 $aearly. 610 $aforgotten. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainto. 610 $areinserts. 610 $areveals. 610 $athis. 610 $atransatlantic. 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aSwiss Americans 676 $a973.4092 676 $aB 700 $aDungan$b Nicholas$01484692 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791459303321 996 $aGallatin$93703472 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03450oam 2200721I 450 001 9910792425303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-136-97870-4 010 $a1-136-97871-2 010 $a1-282-58667-X 010 $a9786612586675 010 $a0-203-85273-7 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203852736 035 $a(CKB)2670000000013791 035 $a(EBL)496341 035 $a(OCoLC)609858994 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000359618 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11245477 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000359618 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10317178 035 $a(PQKB)11482604 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC496341 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL496341 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10382442 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL258667 035 $a(OCoLC)651928128 035 $a(PPN)198462433 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000013791 100 $a20180706d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEuropean Union democracy aid $esupporting civil society in post-apartheid South Africa /$fLorenzo Fioramonti 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (174 p.) 225 1 $aEurope in the world ;$v9 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-138-87417-5 311 $a0-415-54854-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aBook Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; 1 Introduction; 2 Promoting democracy through the citizens: Civil society, micro-assistance to democracy, sustainability; 3 Democracy promotion and civil society aid: The EU approach; 4 Civil society and democracy in South Africa: The grassroots dimension of a changing sector; 5 EU democracy aid to South Africa: The first ten years of democracy (1994-2004); 6 Democracy from below: EU support to community-based advice organizations 327 $a7 EU micro-assistance to democracy and sustainability: A multi-level analysis of grassroots organizations8 Conclusion; Notes; References; Index 330 $aSince the end of the Cold War, the promotion of democracy has occupied centre stage in global politics and in the academic debate on international relations.
