Klappentext zu „The Politician “
The age of princes has passed, but the age of politicians is at its heights. So is Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince any less relevant? No. But it needs an update, to reflect the political realities of our times. That is the purpose of this groundbreaking manuscript-a guide to success in contemporary politics, where the democratically-elected politician has assumed the role of the classical prince. Here is revealed how a politician must act if she wants to be successful, how she must plot her every move, whether dealing with colleagues, constituents, family members, bureaucrats, lobbyists or the media. Indeed, this manuscript is unique, for it exposes at a level of detail never seen before the inner workings of the mind of the contemporary politician. And while it may prove an asset to aspiring politicians, its frank and honest nature will no doubt strike fear in the hearts of incumbent politicians as it sheds light on their motives, intentions, and aspirations.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Politician “

Autoren-Porträt von Nick Machiavelli
"Nick Machiavelli" has been active politically since the age of thirteen, when he first worked as a canvasser in a local election campaign. Two years later he attended his first national political convention. At present he is a practicing politician, with several elections to his credit. He admits to employing many though certainly not all of the means he describes in The Politician, and only for the very best of centrist ends.
