Death by a Thousand Cuts: Neuropolitics, Thymos, and the Slow Demise of Democracy
ISBN: 9783111327792 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) According to Plato, democracies die when people get angry. Resentment causes them to vote for demagogues. Recently, democratically elected politicians have used crises as a pretext for dismantling democracy, following a pattern we have seen since the dawn of civilization. Why do people fall for the lure of dictatorships? And what can we learn from the cause and effects of dictatorships to understand why democracies die?
In this new edition of Matt Qvortrup’s acclaimed monograph Death By A Thousand Cuts, the author shows how neuroscience can help us understand why people...

ISBN: 9780812245806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Although referendums have been used for centuries to settle ethnonational conflicts, there has yet been no systematic study or generalized theory concerning their effectiveness.

Drawing on political theory and descriptive case studies, Matt Qvortrup creates typologies of referendums that are held to endorse secession, redraw disputed borders, legitimize a...

Studies in Modern Childhood: Society, Agency, Culture
ISBN: 9781349519828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this timely study, high profile researchers contribute to the burgeoning field of the social studies of childhood with original and often surprising perspectives and approaches. They demonstrate that far from being esoteric or negligible, childhood is part and parcel of the social fabric in both poor and affluent countries. With chapters on children's agency in small worlds and childhood's placement in large scale relationships, the book shows not only the variety of childhood(s), but also suggests that much is common in a generational context.

Should they even be allowed to recall politicians if they do not live up to their expectations? These questions and many others form the subject of this timely book.

In addition to analysis of major political thinkers like Plato, Machiavelli and J.S. Mill, the book analyzes how modern technology has influenced democracy. An essential book for...

ISBN: 9781849469883 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Vernon Bogdanor - one of Britain's foremost constitutional experts who has written extensively on political and constitutional issues - once told The Guardian that he made 'a living of something that doesn't exist.' He also quipped that the British Constitution can be summed up in eight words: 'Whatever the Queen in Parliament decides is law.' That may still be the case, yet in many ways the once elusive British Constitution has now become much more grounded, much more tangible, and much more based on written sources than was previously the case. It now exists in a way in which it previously...

Three centuries ago, Francois-Marie Voltaire published his Dictionnaire philosophique, taking in such idiosyncratic topics as adultery, mountains, nakedness, and others besides. In 1957, another French philosopher of more recent vintage, Roland Barthes, mused in his Mythologies on the masculine pursuits of wrestling, striptease and the Citroen DS. Since the dawn of philosophy, the world's great thinkers have been unable to resist the lure of applying their formidable brains not only to the meaning of life, but also to the meaning of coffee, trapped wind or efficient boiler installation. ...
