He compares the fine line between sufficient and excessive military spending across ten countries and defines regional indicators of genuine security need or ambition. This controversial work will interest agencies and policy analysts involved with international development and official development assistance, and is essential reading for anyone interested in disarmament issues or international risk management. 606 $aHISTORY / Military / Canada$2bisacsh 607 $aDeveloping countries$xArmed Forces$xAppropriations and expenditures 607 $aDeveloping countries$xMilitary policy 615 7$aHISTORY / Military / Canada. 676 $a355.6/22/091724 700 $aMacDonald$b Brian S$01488866 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790442003321 996 $aMilitary spending in developing countries$93709276 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04330nam 2200805Ia 450 001 9910958298503321 005 20251116231700.0 010 $a1-317-31428-X 010 $a1-315-65284-6 010 $a1-317-31429-8 010 $a1-281-77318-2 010 $a9786611773182 010 $a1-85196-567-X 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315652849 035 $a(CKB)1000000000541390 035 $a(EBL)360187 035 $a(OCoLC)476189528 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000132189 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12018856 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000132189 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10041046 035 $a(PQKB)10262766 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2125443 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC360187 035 $a(OCoLC)958106063 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL360187 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781851965670 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000541390 100 $a20080123d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCredibility in Elizabethan and early Stuart military news /$fby David Randall 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLondon ;$aBrookfield, Vt. $cPickering & Chatto$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (xi, 235 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aPolitical and popular culture in the early modern period ;$vno. 1 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015). 311 08$a1-138-66369-7 311 08$a1-85196-956-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aAcknowledgements; Note on Style; List of Tables; Introduction; 1.

Randall argues that the development of written news required new standards of credibility for the information to be believable. Whereas ritual news established credibility through public performance, letters circulated sociably between private gentlemen relied on the honour of the gentle author. With the rise of anonymous pamphlets and corantos (early newspapers) at the beginning of the seventeenth century, a still-existing standard of credibility developed which was based on individuals reading multiple, anonymous texts.
Through examination of diaries from the period, Randall discovers that this standard quickly gained authority. This shift in epistemological authority mirrored a wider alteration in social and political power from an individual monarch first to a gentle elite and then to a newsreading public in the hundred years leading up to the British civil wars. This study is based on a close examination of hundreds of manuscript news letters, printed pamphlets and corantos, and news diaries which are in holdings in the US and the UK. 410 0$aPolitical and popular culture in the early modern period ;$vno. 1. 606 $aEnglish newspapers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish newspapers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aNews audiences$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aNews audiences$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1603-1714 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1485-1603 615 0$aEnglish newspapers$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish newspapers$xHistory 615 0$aNews audiences$xHistory 615 0$aNews audiences$xHistory 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory 676 $a302.232094109032 676 $a302.232094109032 700 $aRandall$b David$f1951-$0609791 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958298503321 996 $aCredibility in Elizabethan and early Stuart military news$94486389 997 $aUNINA
