The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark's riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I.
Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict.
Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks.
Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe's descent into a war that tore the world apart.

Описание:
Between the late colonial period and the Civil War, the countryside of the American northeast was largely transformed. Rural New England changed from a society of independent farmers relatively isolated from international markets into a capitalist economy closely linked to the national market, an economy in which much farming and manufacturing output was produced by wage labor. Using the Connecticut Valley as an example, The Roots of Rural Capitalism demonstrates how this important change came about.
Christopher Clark joins the active debate on the transition to capitalism with a fresh interpretation that integrates the insights of previous studies with the results of his detailed research. Largely rejecting the assumption of recent scholars that economic change can be explained principally in terms of markets, he constructs a broader social history of the rural economy and traces the complex interactions of social structure, household strategies, gender relations, and cultural values that propelled the countryside from one economic system to another. Above all, he shows that people of rural Massachusetts were not passive victims of changes forced upon them, but actively created a new economic world as they tried to secure their livelihoods under changing demographic and economic circumstances.
The emergence of rural capitalism, Clark maintains, was not the result of a single transition; rather, it was an accretion of new institutions and practices that occurred over two generations, and in two broad chronological phases. It is his singular contribution to demonstrate the coexistence of a family-based household economy (persisting well into the nineteenth century) and the market-oriented system of production and exchange that is generally held to have emerged full-blown by the eighteenth century. He is adept at describing the clash of values sustaining both economies, and the ways in which the rural household-based economy, through a process he calls involution, ultimately gave way to a new order. His analysis of the distinctive role of rural women in this transition constitutes a strong new element in the study of gender as a factor in the economic, social, and cultural shifts of the period.
Sophisticated in argument and engaging in presentation, this book will be recognized as a major contribution to the history of capitalism and society in nineteenth-century America.

Описание: Political scientist Michael Haas brings together essays by six distinguished authors with different ideas about how Singapore might become a full-fledged democracy and has stumbled over the years, exaggerating threats to the government. Book presents a comprehensive history of Singapore, emphasizing why Singapore is an economic success, but leaders took wrong turns that led away from democracy while rationalizating authoritarian rule by claiming that a small city-state was too vulnerable to leave key decisions to chance. An early chapter presents the case for Singapore-wherein the country has been an economic success. Later chapters analyze the following aspects of the political and social life of Singapore to explain how and why the leaders, especially Lee Kuan Yew, abandoned the original goal of a democratic government: - Political history - from colonial times to the present, highlighting elections - Political economy - the imperatives of a city-state account for the successful economic policies - The press - change from a call for press freedom as a colony to press censorship as an independent state - The judiciary - the abolition of juries and other ways to prevent judicial independence - Foreign policy - vulnerable as a small state, Singapore usually relies on the United States as a protector In addition, the final chapter describes Singapore's mass society (the deliberately constructed gap between the people and the government) and assesses prospects for the future. Heavily footnoted, with a section of References and an Index. xiii + 252 pages. The book presents several unique observations: - Data indisputably support Singapore as an economic success but only for foreign corporations. - Singapore began as a welfare state in the early years of independence, entitlements were later cut, but now are being gradually reintroduced. - Lee Kuan Yew holds the record for the amount of awards collected from successful libel lawsuits. - During the 1990s, the government stressed "Asian Values" during conflicts with the United States, but now has dropped the idea. - Prime Minister's Goh Chok Tong's desire for a "kindler, gentler" country ended when the son of Lee Kuan Yew was installed as his successor in 2004. - Singapore's per capita income is higher than its former colonial power, Britain. - Singapore Muslims must take military training but cannot be used in battle with the closest states. - Trial by jury was abolished in Singapore in 1969. Judges are way of government leaders. - The Singapore press is less free than the press in China. - Department heads and judges are paid more than anywhere else in the world. - Singapore scores 90 out of 100 on the Human Development Index, measuring quality of life. - Torture is routinely used to provoke confessions, even when those charged may be innocent. - American policy toward international terrorism has become Singaporeanized. - Sijori is the growth triangle involving adjacent parts of Indonesia and Malaysia with Singapore. - The Singapore government has created a mass society on the Soviet model. - Due to careful planning, there are few traffic jams in highly urbanized Singapore. - Singapore has one of the largest percentages of foreign workers in the world, annoying residents. - Most Singapore's foreign investment abroad goes to their own firms, especially in China. - Many Singaporeans would prefer to leave the country, and many do. - Singapore's economic policy is a function of being a trade entrep t, not elitist decision making. - Most contributors have been maligned by the Singapore government, but only one was tortured.
