ISBN: 9780199551170 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

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...

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...

Capitalist Diversity and Change: Recombinant Governance and Institutional Entrepreneurs
ISBN: 9780199286478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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

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...
