Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist
ISBN: 9780521740074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book proposes a new interpretation of Alexis de Tocqueville that views him first and foremost as a social scientist rather than as a political theorist. Drawing on his earlier work on the explanation of social behavior, Elster argues that Tocqueville s main claim to our attention today rests on the large number of exportable causal mechanisms to be found in his work, many of which are still worthy of further exploration. Elster proposes a novel reading of Democracy in America in which the key explanatory variable is the rapid economic and political turnover rather than equality of wealth...

Tmel společnosti
ISBN: 9788020022240 / Czeski / 2013 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Otázka, kterou si klade Jon Elster v této pozoruhodné knize, zní, co drží společnosti pohromadě a zabraňuje jim, aby se rozpadly v chaosu a válce. Elster analyzuje dva pojmy sociálního řádu: stálé, předpověditelné vzorce chování a kooperativní chování. Kniha zkoumá rozmanité aspekty kolektivního jednání a vyjednávání z hledisek teorie racionální volby a teorie sociálních norem. Vychází ze základního předpokladu, že sociální normy jsou důležitou motivací iracionálního (neracionálního) jednání. Kniha představuje významný milník v...

Ulysses Unbound: Studies in Rationality, Precommitment, and Constraints
ISBN: 9780521662130 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This provocative book argues that, very often, people may benefit from being constrained in their options or from being ignorant. The three long essays that constitute this book revise and expand the ideas developed in Jon Elster's classic study Ulysses and the Sirens. It is not simply a new edition of the earlier book though; many of the issues merely touched on before are explored here in much more detail. Elster shows how seemingly disparate examples that limit freedom of action reveal similar patterns, so much so that he proposes a new field of study: constraint theory. The book is...

Closing the Books: Transitional Justice in Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9780521548540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After a change of political system, notably a transition from an autocratic to a democratic, or at least constitutional, regime, a process of transitional justice emerges in which wrongdoers from the previous regime are judged responsible and victims are compensated. John Elster looks at examples and proposes a framework for explaining variations. In addition to the numerous transitions after 1945 in Western Europe and after 1989 in Eastern Europe, transitional justice has taken place in classical Greece, the English and French restorations, and, more recently, in Latin America and South...

Secrecy and Publicity in Votes and Debates
ISBN: 9781107083363 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the spirit of Jeremy Bentham's Political Tactics, this volume offers the first comprehensive discussion of the effects of secrecy and publicity on debates and votes in committees and assemblies. The contributors - sociologists, political scientists, historians, legal scholars - consider the micro-technology of voting (the devil is in the detail), the historical relations between the secret ballot and universal suffrage, the use and abolition of secret voting in parliamentary decisions, and the sometimes perverse effects of the drive for greater openness and transparency in public affairs....

Political Psychology
ISBN: 9780521411103 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This provocative book takes up and develops the themes of rationality and irrationality in Jon Elster's earlier work. Its purposes are threefold. First, Elster shows how belief and preference formation in the realm of politics are shaped by social and political institutions. Second, he argues for an important distinction in the social sciences between mechanisms and theories. Third, he illustrates those general principles of political psychology through readings of three outstanding political psychologists: the French classical historian, Paul Veyne; the Soviet dissident writer, Alexander...

Ulysses and the Sirens: Studies in Rationality and Irrationality
ISBN: 9780521269841 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book was first published in 1984, as the revised edition of a 1979 original. The text is composed of studies in a descending sequence from perfect rationality, through imperfect and problematical rationality, to irrationality. Specifically human rationality is characterized by its capacity to relate strategically to the future, in contrast to the myopic 'gradient climbing' of natural selection. There is trenchant analysis of some of the parallels proposed in this connection between the biological and the social sciences. In the chapter on imperfect rationality the crucial notion is that...
