Rethinking Political Identity: Citizens and Parties in Europe
ISBN: 9781800881525 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this precisely argued book, Colin Crouch questions the current meaning of political parties for citizens in Western Europe given that the identities on which they are based were the product of past conflicts over industrialization and religion. Crouch asks whether the issues confronting post and ex-industrial societies can develop their own political identities among citizens? And, if so, how far do these identities relate to the inheritance of the past? Applying a theory of political identity, Crouch analyses voting behaviour across Europe and presents an in-depth historical analysis of...

The Knowledge Corrupters: Hidden Consequences of the Financial Takeover of Public Life
ISBN: 9780745669854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In principle the advanced, market-driven world in which we now live is fuelled by knowledge, information and transparency, but in practice the processes that produce this world systematically corrupt and denigrate knowledge: this is the powerful and provocative argument advanced by Colin Crouch in his latest exploration of societies on the road to post-democracy. Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial knowledge increasingly...

Society and Social Change in 21st Century Europe
ISBN: 9781137277800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ranging from some of the most advanced economies in the world to others with only modest national income, and from well established democracies to countries with lengthy histories as dictatorships, Europe presents the social scientist with a laboratory of different social forms.

This accessible book is written with students on courses in sociology and... Ranging from some of the most advanced economies in the world to others with only modest national income, and from well established democracies to cou...

Capitalist Diversity and Change: Recombinant Governance and Institutional Entrepreneurs
ISBN: 9780199286478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the last decade the neo-institutionalist literature of comparative capitalism has developed into an influential body of work. In this book, Colin Crouch assesses this literature, and proposes a major re-orientation of the field. Crouch critiques and finds a way of modeling how creative actors trying to achieve change - institutional entrepreneurs - tackle these constraints. Central to the account is the concept of governance, as it is by recombining governance mechanism that these entrepreneurs must achieve their goals. In seeking how to analyze the spaces in which they operate, Crouch...

The Strange Non-Death of Neo-Liberalism
ISBN: 9780745651200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize
The financial crisis seemed to present a fundamental challenge to neo-liberalism, the body of ideas that have constituted the political orthodoxy of most advanced economies in recent decades. Colin Crouch argues in this book that it will shrug off this challenge. The reason is that while neo-liberalism seems to be about free markets, in practice it is concerned with the dominance over public life of the giant corporation. This has been intensified, not checked, by the recent financial crisis and acceptance that certain financial... Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize

This book looks at European societies at the end of a turbulent millennium which saw western Europe slowly rise to global domination, and then rapidly decline to its present position, one that is prosperous but behind the USA in world influence. It is the only book by a single sociologist to make a systematic comparison of virtually all west European countries in relation to Japan and the USA, and across a wide range of social institutions.

Diversity of Democracy
ISBN: 9781845426132 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At a time when democratization and the state of democracy are at the forefront of attention in many parts of the world, this book examines the state-of-the-art on this vital political issue. Revisiting the now classical literature on neo-corporatism in light of current research and theory, the contributors illustrate the enormous influence of the 'neo-corporatist debate' on modern political science, political sociology, and political economy. Reflecting on a major part of the recent history of social science, they shed light on some of its current core concepts, such as governance, policy...

Postdemokratie revisited
ISBN: 9783518127612 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2021 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mit seinem Buch Postdemokratie sorgte Colin Crouch 2008 in Deutschland für Furore. In seiner so pointierten wie scharfsinnigen Analyse konstatiert er, dass die Demokratie in den westlichen Gesellschaften im Begriff sei, zur bloßen Hülle zu werden: demokratische Wahlen und Institutionen würden zwar aufrechterhalten, politische Entscheidungen jedoch de facto in den Chefetagen der Wirtschaft getroffen. Das Buch wurde zum Überraschungserfolg. Colin Crouch hatte eine Debatte um den Verfall der repräsentativen Demokratie losgetreten und ihr mit 'Postdemokratie' einen Namen...

Are Skills the Answer? (the Political Economy of Skill Creation in Advanced Industrial Countries)
ISBN: 9780199241118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While the acquisition of skills has become a major public need, there is increasing dependence for their provision on individual firms. These firms can have no responsibility for general needs with government action being restricted to residual care for the unemployed rather than contributing at the leading edge of advanced skills policy. The authors argue that public agencies must find new ways of working with the business sector, acquiring expertise and authority through such means as supporting skills standards and taking the lead in the certification of employers as trainers.

Changing Governance of Local Economies: Responses of European Local Production Systems
ISBN: 9780199259403 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines patterns of economic governance in three specific, contrasting, contexts: machinery-producing districts; declining steel cities; and clusters of high-technology activities. Building on the work of their previous book (Local Production Systems in Europe: Rise or Demise? OUP 2001), which charted the recent development of local clusters of specialized manufacturing among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom, the authors find patterns of economic governance far more complex and dynamic that usually described in a literature...

Making Capitalism Fit for Society
ISBN: 9780745672236 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Capitalism is the only complex system known to us that can provide an efficient and innovative economy, but the financial crisis has brought out the pernicious side of capitalism and shown that it remains dependent on the state to rescue it from its own deficiencies. Can capitalism be reshaped so that it is fit for society, or must we acquiesce to the neoliberal view that society will be at its best when markets are given free rein in all areas of life?
The aim of this book is to show that the acceptance of capitalism and the market does not require us to accept the full... Capitalism is the only complex system known to us that can provide an efficient and innovative economy, but the financial crisis has brought out the p...
