Leadership in a Small Town
ISBN: 9780765805799 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Of all the questions that might be asked about political life, it would be difficult to find one of greater interest than the ancient query: who rules over whom? It appeals powerfully to our curiosity. We want to know who "runs" things--who makes policy decisions in New York, Washington, London, or the town in which we live. Is it a single powerful individual, an economic elite, a series of elites, the citizens, political bosses, or some variant of these possibilities? The major purpose of this volume is to find an answer to this question for a small American city, and to extend the answer...

Culture and Social Theory
ISBN: 9781560002758 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aaron Wildavsky, along with Mary Douglas, identified what they called grid-group theory. Wildavsky began calling this "cultural theory," and applied it to an astounding array of subjects. The essays in this volume exemplify the theory's potential contributions to three seemingly disparate, but related, areas: the social construction of meaning, normative/analytic political philosophy, and a theory of rational choices. This book is the first in a series of Aaron Wildavsky's collected writings being published posthumously by Transaction. Wildavsky selected, sequenced, and grouped all but...

Budgeting and Governing
ISBN: 9781412806251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aaron Wildavsky's greatest concern, as expressed in his writings, is how people manage to live together. This concern may at first appear to have little to do with the study of budgeting, but for Wildavsky budgeting made living together possible. Indeed, as he argues in Budgeting and Governing, now available in paperback, if you cannot budget, you cannot govern.

ISBN: 9781560003168 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aaron Wildavsky well understood that federalism is about freedom and diversity - not hierarchy and decentralization. His was an intensely normative concern with the promise of federalism and its abandonment in the United States. Over time, he became increasingly focused on political culture, federalism, and the Western domains of social life as fields of cultural competition.

Federalism and Political Culture is a collection of Wildavsky's essays... Aaron Wildavsky well understood that federalism is about freedom and diversity - not hierarchy and decentralization.

Why does one person see the world as a place to control, while another feels controlled by the world? A useful theory of culture, the authors contend, should start with these questions, and the answers, given different historical conditions, should apply equally well to people of all times, places, and walks of life.Taking their cue from the pioneering work of anthropologist Mary Douglas, the authors of Cultural Theory have created a typology of five ways of lifeegalitarianism, fatalism, individualism, hierarchy, and autonomyto serve as an analytic...
