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.

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...

Referendums and Ethnic Conflict
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. Referendums and Ethnic Conflict fills the gap with a comparative and empirical analysis of all the referendums held on ethnic and national issues from the French Revolution to the 2012 referendum on statehood for Puerto Rico. 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.

Structural, Historical, and Comparative Perspectives
ISBN: 9781848557321 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this volume, guest editor Qvortrup brings together contributions representing structural, historical, and comparative perspectives on the study of children and youth. Here, childhood is conceived as a structural feature of society, subject to the stable and changing forces of the larger social context, and comparable across time and cultures. Such perspectives have been relatively under-represented in the "New Sociology of Childhood," which has tended both to stress children's agency, and to favour ethnographic methods of inquiry. The series editors are pleased to expand and enliven the...

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.- Bogdanor also quipped that the British Constitution can be summed up in seven words: -Whatever the Queen in Parliament decides is law.- That may still be the case, yet, in many ways, the once elusive Constitution has now become much more grounded, much more tangible, and much more based on written sources than was previously the case. The British Constitution now exists in a way...

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 presenting an up to date review of the empirical literature, Direct democracy provides a survey of the political philosophers who have theorised about this subject.

Great Minds on Small Things: The Philosophers' Guide to Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780715654965 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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. ...
