The European Superpower
ISBN: 9781403998453 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this important new book, John McCormick argues that the EU has become an economic and political superpower, whose new global role calls into doubt most of the recent assessments of unipolarity in world politics and American "empire." In his inimitably clear and accessible style, McCormick shows how the rise of Europe has been underplayed because of traditional notions of power politics based on military might which, he argues, are much less relevant than in the past.

ISBN: 9780415845830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Acid rain was one of the major environmental issues of the 1980s. But while industrialized countries have taken measures to reduce the emissions that lead to acidification, the problems have not gone away. Trees are still dying, lakes are still being made uninhabitable; buildings are still corroding; and human health is still suffering. The most worrying trend is the repetition in the industrializing countries of Asia and Latin America of the problems that have long afflicted Europe and North America. More than 10 years after it was first published, the highly acclaimed Acid Earth still...

Machiavelli und der populistische Schmerzensschrei
ISBN: 9783518299869 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Seit zwei Jahrzehnten tritt der Politwissenschaftler John McCormick für eine »demokratische Wende« in der Forschung zu Machiavelli ein, indem er die plebejischen, antioligarchischen und sogar »populistischen« Züge von dessen politischem Denken betont. Wie die bahnbrechenden Aufsätze in diesem Band zeigen, ist Machiavelli überraschend relevant für die Analyse der gegenwärtigen Krise der Demokratie, die durch Populismus und Plutokratie gekennzeichnet ist. Mit seiner Hilfe, so McCormick, lassen sich unsere demokratischen Verfassungen neu gestalten, so dass die Bürgerinnen und...

ISBN: 9780415088541 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book provides an account of how popular theatre developed from the fairground booths of the 18th century to become a vehicle of mass entertainment in the following century.

He focuses on the social and economic context in which vaudevilles, pantomimes and melodramas were performed, and explores the audiences who enjoyed them.

Machiavellian Democracy
ISBN: 9780521530903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Intensifying economic and political inequality poses a dangerous threat to the liberty of democratic citizens. Mounting evidence suggests that economic power, not popular will, determines public policy, and that elections consistently fail to keep public officials accountable to the people. John P. McCormick confronts this dire situation through a dramatic reinterpretation of Niccolo Machiavelli s political thought. Highlighting previously neglected democratic strains in Machiavelli s major writings, McCormick excavates institutions through which the common people of ancient, medieval, and...

Weber, Habermas and Transformations of the European State: Constitutional, Social, and Supranational Democracy
ISBN: 9780521811408 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book draws on the writings of Max Weber and Jurgen Habermas to trace the relationship of law and democracy in three configurations of the European state: the liberal state (or Rechtsstaat), the welfare state (Sozialstaat), and the emerging supranational polity represented by the European Union. John P. McCormick exposes the tendency of social and political theorists to reach back unreflectively to the past and outlines a new, more appropriate normative-empirical model, the supranational Sektoralstaat, for evaluating prospects for constitutional and social democracy in the EU."
