Condizione: Very Good. Global governance has a major impact on the lives of people around the world. However, traditional theories of legitimacy were usually developed for states and are not suitable for the diversity of global governance institutions that exist today. This book first develops a normative concept of legitimacy that is applicable to all political institutions. According to this concept, to regard an institution as legitimate means ascribing it the right to exercise its function in political practice. Secondly, the book discusses how the use of this concept opens up new perspectives in the debate on legitimacy criteria for global governance institutions. In this context, the book analyses the relationship of legitimacy to the values of justice and democracy and discusses the role of feasibility constraints and the all-affected principle in legitimacy judgements. The concept of legitimacy as the right to function opens up the conceptual space to accommodate the insight that legitimacy criteriaare not the same for all global governance institutions, but depend on their function and context. Thirdly, the book applies the developed theoretical framework to a specific global governance institution, the G20.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Introduce children to physics through play, poetry, and a puppy in this joyous celebration of how physics matters in our everyday lives. This remarkable picture book explores scientific concepts (gravity, magnetism, electricity, friction, etc.) through the story of the relationship between a child and a puppy. Acclaimed author Lisa Westberg Peters's poems convey concepts in a way that children will remember--often with humor. Who could forget the various phases when they're presented in the form of a dog--solid when eating dinner, liquid when pouring herself into her basket, and gas when leaping erratically after a fly? Serge Bloch's whimsical illustrations extend the humor--and the love--in this tale of a child, a dog, and the energy that abounds in their world. Extensive notes at the end of the book define and explain the physics subjects included in the poems. Bloch, Serge (illustratore).…

If you want to break a habit in your life, you must change and do things different In this devotional, I have shared personal experiences, trials, traumas and testimonies of how I was able to overcome the difficulties that I faced in my life. In Revelations 12:11 it says And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.I have found my path to overcoming the strongholds that the enemy has thrown at me, by continually sharing my testimony every time God has brought me through a trial or a trauma. And each time I could feel the Light of God shining ever so bright into the dark places of shame, fear and all that the enemy would try to keep me bound in. It would destroy Satan's grip on my mind and also bring life and healing to others. My prayer for you is that whatever battle you are facing that you would embrace the process of true victory through the path of God's Word. Truly hiding His Promises in your heart.
