Duverger's Law of Plurality Voting: The Logic of Party Competition in Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States
ISBN: 9781441918857 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Maurice Duverger is arguably the most distinguished French political scientist of the last century, but his major impact has, strangely enough, been largely in the English-speaking world. His book, Political Parties, first translated into English in 1954, has been very influential in both the party politics literature (which continues to make use of his typology of party organization) and in the electoral systems literature. His chief contributions there deal with what have come to be called in his honor Duverger's Law and Duverger's Hypothesis. The first argues that countries with...

Legacies of the 1964 Civil Rights ACT
ISBN: 9780813919218 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The 1964 Civil Rights Act, in conjunction with the Voting Rights Act of the following year, totally transformed the shape of American race relations. Supporters of the Civil Rights Act sought, at minimum, the elimination of racial segregation in publicly supported schools, hospitals, public transport, and other public spaces, and an end to open and blatant racial discrimination in employment practices. Judged in those terms, the act is a remarkable success story. It has shown the power of the central government to change deeply entrenched patterns of behavior. In terms of the law,...

The Internet and Democracy in Global Perspective: Voters, Candidates, Parties, and Social Movements
ISBN: 9783319043517 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume provides an important update to our current understanding of politics and the internet in a variety of new contexts, both geographically and institutionally. The subject of e-democracy has morphed over the years from speculative and optimistic accounts of a future heightened direct citizen involvement in political decision-making and an increasingly withered state apparatus, to more prosaic investigations of party and governmental website content and micro level analyses of voters' online activities. Rather than levelling the communications and participation playing field, most...

ISBN: 9780472083435 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Anthony Downs's An Economic Theory of Democracy is one of the handful of books that reshaped political science in the post-World War II period. Information, Participation, and Choice traces the influence of Downs's ideas on subsequent research on voters, candidates, and parties in the United States and elsewhere.
Since their publication in 1957, Downs's seminal ideas -- tweedledum and tweedledee politics and the "rationality" of political ignorance and nonparticipation on the part of voters--have shaped an ongoing debate about how politics actually work. The debate pits a... Anthony Downs's An Economic Theory of Democracy is one of the handful of books that reshaped political science in the post-World War II period....

The Oxford Handbook of Electoral Persuasion
ISBN: 9780190860806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 1128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Elections are the means by which democratic nations determine their leaders, and communication in the context of elections has the potential to shape people's beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Thus, electoral persuasion is one of the most important political processes in any nation that regularly holds elections. Moreover, electoral persuasion encompasses not only what happens in an election but also what happens before and after, involving candidates, parties, interest groups, the media, and the voters themselves. This volume surveys the vast political science literature on this subject,...

Behavioral Social Choice: Probabilistic Models, Statistical Inference, and Applications
ISBN: 9780521829687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Looking at the probabilistic foundations of collective decision-making rules, the authors challenge much of the existing theoretical wisdom about social choice processes, and seek to restore faith in the possibility of democratic decision-making. In particular, they argue that worries about the supposed prevalence of majority rule cycles, that would preclude groups from reaching a final decision about what alternative they prefer, have been greatly overstated. In practice, majority rule can be expected to work well in most real-world settings. They provide new insights into how alternative...
