A series of essays on the society and economy of England between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries.

Diem’s alliance with Washington has long been seen as a Cold War relationship gone bad, undone by either American arrogance or Diem’s stubbornness. Edward Miller argues that this misalliance was more than just a joint effort to contain communism. It was also a means for each side to shrewdly pursue its plans for nation building in South Vietnam.

Focusing on one of the most dramatic and controversial periods in modern Greek history and in the history of the Cold War, James Edward Miller provides the first study to employ a wide range of international archives--American, Greek, English, and French--together with foreign language publications to shed light on the role the United States played in Greece between the termination of its civil war in 1949 and Turkey''s 1974 invasion of Cyprus. Miller demonstrates how U.S. officials sought, over a period of twenty-five years, to cultivate Greece as a strategic Cold War ally in order to check the spread of Soviet influence. The United States supported Greece''s government through large-scale military aid, major investment of capital, and intermittent efforts to reform the political system. Miller examines the ways in which American and Greek officials cooperated in--and struggled over--the political future and the modernization of the country. Throughout, he evaluates the actions of the key figures involved, from George Papandreou and his son Andreas, to King Constantine, and from John Foster Dulles and Dwight D. Eisenhower to Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Miller''s engaging study offers a nuanced and well-balanced assessment of events that still influence Mediterranean politics today.

The transmission of policy preferences from the mass electorate to the political elite is the subject of Warren Miller''s illuminating new book. The elites of whom he writes are the delegates to recent nominating conventions analyzed in their subsequent roles as activists involved in presidential election campaigns. Miller''s analysis delineates circumstances and conditions that affect the degree to which the issue preferences of these elite activists are more or less representative of those held by rank-and-file members of the nation''s electorate. Miller argues that, although consent and accountability are basic principles in the theory of democratic representation, the ways in which convention delegates are selected are not designed to implement these principles. Nevertheless, empirical analysis demonstrates that they often do so to varying degrees. Delegates selected in primary elections, Miller finds, are more representative of the ordinary voters than are delegates selected by any other means -- except for Democratic super delegates, who are the most representative of all. Miller''s analysis explains why elites who campaign on behalf of particular candidates are less representative of mass policy opinions than are those who campaign on behalf of their parties, and why, ironically, the elites who campaign on behalf of specific policies are even less representative of the issue positions of their parties'' rank-and-file partisans. Without Consent, a sequel to Parties in Transition, makes an important contribution to the literature on theories of representation by its novel analysis of linkages connecting public opinion and public policy through the presidential campaign elites.

"This volume contains the Judiciary Statutes of the United States and the Rules of the Supreme Court regulating the practice and procedure in the various federal courts, with full notes of the decisions of those courts construing such Statutes and Rules. It also contains a register of all the judges, district attorneys, marshals, and clerks of the United States Courts. The authors entered upon the preparation of the work with the conviction that something of the kind was much needed by the profession, and they cherish the hope that it will be found convenient and useful to the Bench and the Bar of this country."

In 1943 the United States reluctantly took part in the invasion and liberation of Italy and, during the occupation, became increasingly involved in Italy''s reconstruction problems. The program that evolved was distinctly American in approach, with emphasis on creating middle-class democracies under the control of moderate leaders and parties. Miller chronicles the success--and near collapse--of the reform program and explains the reasons for further U.S. postwar intervention. Originally published in 1986.
