Competitive Governments: An Economic Theory of Politics and Public Finance
ISBN: 9780521646284 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a systematic exploration of the hypothesis that governments are internally competitive, that they are competitive in their relations with each other and in their relations with other institutions in society which, like them, supply consuming households with goods and services. The author contends that competition not only serves to bring the political system to an equilibrium, but it also leads to a revelation of the households' true demand functions for publicly provided goods and services, and to the molding of a link between the quantities and the qualities demanded and supplied...

The Logic of Bureaucratic Conduct: An Economic Analysis of Competition, Exchange, and Efficiency in Private and Public Organizations
ISBN: 9780521071727 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this work the authors present a general theory of bureaucracy and use it to explain behaviour in large organizations and to explain what determines efficiency in both governments and business corporations. The theory uses the methods of standard neoclassical economic theory. It relies on two central principles: that members of an organization trade with one another and that they compete with one another. Authority, which is the basis for conventional theories of bureaucracy, is given a role, despite reliance on the idea of trade between bureaucracies. It is argued, however, that...

The Economic Theory of Representative Government
ISBN: 9780202361574 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book provides a theory capable of explaining the patterns of public expenditures and taxation that occur under representative government. Economists and political scientists have come to realize that issues of public policy and public fi nance cannot be solved on the naive assumption that these are problems tackled by a government that exists only to serve the public good. Instead, government must be understood as one of the major economic institutions of society, one that behaves like more familiar economic institutions-the household and the fi rm-though the market it confronts is a...

Understanding Democracy: Economic and Political Perspectives
ISBN: 9780521582360 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this collection of essays, attention is given to basic issues about democracy that, in spite of their high practical relevance, tend to be taken for granted and not seriously addressed. What should be expected or not expected from democracy? What are the conditions for democracy to be stable? What is the relationship between democracy and economic growth, income distribution, social policies, and the efficiency of public administration? Although broad and potentially contentious, these questions are treated both professionally and thoughtfully and on the whole with little ideological...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The distinguishing feature of this collection by well-known economists and political scientists from North America, Europe, and Australia is to propose a variety of explanations that all insist on the rationality of extremism. The authors identify four core issues in the study of extremism: the nature (definition) of extremism and its origins in both democratic and authoritarian settings, the capacity of democratic political systems to accommodate extremist positions, the strategies (civil disobedience, assassination, lynching) chosen by extremist groups, and the circumstances under which...

Rational Foundations of Democratic Politics
ISBN: 9780521184281 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Democracy is widely accepted today as the most suitable form of government. But does democracy always produce good government? Although often associated with the existence of competitive elections, theory and experience suggest that this insufficiently determines democracy's effectiveness. Accordingly, experts from America and Europe use the modern theory of rational choice to explore the "foundations" that make democracy successful. They consider the diverse problems of modern democratic politics such as the importance of civic virtue, negative advertising, the interaction of democracy and...
