The monograph concerns the analysis of mechanisms and processes of the evolution of the civil service corps in Poland after 1996. Additionally, it involves the evolution of the role of the state in the context of public administration and the significance of the dichotomous relationship between administration and politics. The research is interdisciplinary in nature and covers three areas: political, legal and regulatory as well as personal, cultural and historical aspects. It characterises the structures, organisation, legal nature, scope of rights and duties and principles like neutrality, impartiality and professionalism of the civil service.Extensive empirical data on the Polish civil service enriched the analysis and was used to illustrate the state of the organisation between 1996 and 2016. These data included appraisals, appointments, examinations, employment, etc. By observing the dynamics and variability of the Polish civil service corps, the study has the character of a functional analysis. The reflections culminate in recommendations and proposals for improving the current situation.

From the ascent of Peter the Great to the Russian Revolution. From the Battle of the Boyne to the Easter Rising. Between these epochal events were two astounding centuries of war, diplomacy, intrigue, innovation and international radical political movements, the reverberations of which are still felt in both Ireland and the former territories of the Russian empire today.In Anarchy and Authority, readers follow contemporaneous accounts of Irish men and women who ventured into the Russian empire during the long centuries of Romanov rule. Human connections, political intrigues, cultural cross-pollination mesh with sweeping historical narratives in the story of the island and the empire.Meticulously researched and energetically told, these are the stories of Irish residents, travellers and migrants to Russia from that time, ranging from diplomats and governesses, to early tourists, travel writers, soldiers, servants and even a revolutionary music-teacher. From the Irishmen and women who benefitted from the imperial wars waged by the Russian state, to those Irish observers who bore witness to the horrors of serfdom and the oppression of dissenting voices.Anarchy and Authority brings to vivid life these Irish perspectives. Their fascinating insights and unique depths of field give increasing relevance to the turbulent geo-politics of modern times.

An enthralling narrative of the rise and fall of Britains republican experiment. DOMINIC SANDBROOK, The Times Best History Books of 2024A gripping tale of political and cultural crisis but also one of joy and hopeful innovation, told with eloquence and passion.MALCOLM GASKILLMagisterial, compelling and eye-opening.SUZANNAH LIPSCOMBEvents moved with giddying speed in the 1650s. After the execution of Charles I, dangerous monarchy was abolished and the House of Lords was dismissed, sending shock waves across the kingdom. These revolutionary acts set in motion a decade of bewildering change and instability, under the leadership of the soldier-statesman Oliver Cromwell.Englands unique and distinctive republican experiment may have been short-lived, but it changed the course of British history. It transformed the relationship between England, Scotland and Ireland, reset the compact between the monarch and the people, and re-fashioned the story the British told - and continue to tell - about themselves.REPUBLIC is a richly engrossing year-by-year account of this exhilarating and daring period. It tells the story of what Britains republic was really like: why it failed, but also, what it got right.

Skulls, height, hands, legs, sex organs, blood, brains, stomachs, ears and corpses discover Irish history anew through the utterly unique prism of the human body.From the brutal beheading of the red-headed Clonycavan Man some 2,000 years ago to the ancient skulls believed to be those of giants stolen from islands off Irelands west coast, medical historian Dr Ian Miller brings readers on a delightfully gruesome journey through our rich heritage.Learn about the fears of excessive tea drinking that were once such a great cause for concern on this isle scarcely believable! Meet the doctors who revolutionised Irish medicine in the 19th century along with the deplorable bodysnatching that accompanied this progress.Fact and folklore intertwine seamlessly throughout, providing the reader with an endlessly fascinating account of matters historical and mythological.

Fifty years after the Guildford bombings, the case remains profoundly relevant today. This new edition is completely updated and revised with startling new material. The Guildford Four endured 15 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit. The only evidence against them was their confessions extracted through intimidation and violence. Three Surrey police officers were acquitted of wrongdoing in 1993, but as this new edition reveals, there is testimony, never published, that corroborates evidence of far wider police malpractice. Time Bomb was central to the reopening of the case of the Guildford Four when it was published in 1988 exposing this egregious miscarriage of justice, and telling the chilling parallel story of the men actually responsible for the bombings, the London Active Service Unit, whose 1974-75 IRA campaign terrorised Britain. Profoundly relevant today, as Michael Mansfield identifies in his introduction, the case of the Guildford Four is essentially the prototype of the corruption and concealment scandals which have beset the UK, from the Stephen Lawrence case through to the Post Office scandal, and asks how we can galvanise reform. Every twist and turn needs to be lived by the reader page after page of compelling and mesmerising fact. As you proceed, the magnitude of these events strikes a sense of burning injustice. Michael Mansfield

The remarkable story of Margaret Paston, whose letters form the most extensive collection of personal writings by a medieval English woman.Drawing on what is the largest archive of medieval correspondence relating to a single family in the UK, Gods Own Gentlewoman explores what everyday life was like during the turbulent decades at the height of the Wars of the Roses. From political conflicts and familial in-fighting; forbidden love affairs and clandestine marriages; bloody battles and sieges; fear of plague and sudden death; friendships and animosity; childbirth and child mortality, Margarets letters provide us with unparalleled insight into all aspects of life in late medieval England.Diane Watt is a world expert on medieval womens writing, and Gods Own Gentlewoman explores how Margarets personal archive provides an insight into her activities, experiences, emotions and relationships and the life of a medieval woman who was at times absorbed by the mundane and domestic, but who also found herself caught up in the most extraordinary situations and events.
