Political Leadership Between Democracy and Authoritarianism
Comparative and Historical Perspectives JERZY J. WIATR
FOR SALE IN NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND
This book sheds new light on the theory of political leadership and its importance for understanding the contemporary conflict between liberal democracy and the new authoritarianism. Jerzy J. Wiatr reconsiders Max Weber’s typology of political rule and his concept of the ethics of responsibility. He shows that the unfinished contest between democracy and new authoritarianism in the twenty-first century confirms the importance of leadership in old and new democracies as well as in the neoauthoritarian regimes, and he calls for a new type of political leadership to address these challenges.

The Influence of Economic Interdependence on US-China Relations
An Analysis of Economic Incentives for Continued Cooperation FRANK MOURITZ
Tensions between China and the United States over global supremacy have escalated in recent years, increasing the likelihood of a future conflict. However, an open conflict would have costly consequences for both sides due to the countries’ deep economic interconnectedness. Against this backdrop, this book addresses the incentives for both sides to avoid conflict and continue cooperation out of economic considerations. FRANK MOURITZ
