The Independence of Scotland: Self-Government and the Shifting Politics of Union
ISBN: 9780199545957 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After three hundred years, the Anglo-Scottish Union is in serious difficulty. This is not because of a profound cultural divide between England and Scotland but because recent decades have seen the rebuilding of Scotland as a political community while the ideology and practices of the old unionism have atrophied. Yet while Britishness is in decline, it has not been replaced by a dominant ideology of Scottish independence. Rather Scots are looking to renegotiate union to find a new place in the Isles, in Europe, and in the world.
There are few legal, constitutional or political obstacles... After three hundred years, the Anglo-Scottish Union is in serious difficulty. This is not because of a profound cultural divide between England and Sc...

Challenges to Consensual Politics: Democracy, Identity, and Populist Protest in the Alpine Region
ISBN: 9789052012506 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book analyses the transnational Alpine region where historical, social, and geo-economic specificities have led to a distinctive type of democracy and identity. Differentialist identities, multi-level consociational accommodation, and corporatist intermediation are typical features of this region s -consensual politics-, and the process of European integration adds further to this complexity. These forms of consensual politics are challenged today by large and persistent populist parties that express strong anti-elitist sentiments, local identities, and Euro-sceptic attitudes.

Institutions on the edge?: Capacity for governance
ISBN: 9781865084831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Australia faces major challenges to its forms of governance. Changing expectations from its citizens, global pressures on the economy and technological innovation are impacting on government operations. Yet most of its institutions were designed a hundred years ago. Cabinet government was inherited. Parliament was already established in its forms and procedures. The federal structure, the High Court and the federal public service were created as a consequence. The party structure has been effectively frozen since the 1920s and a tradition of handing some responsibilities to arms-length...

Dominant Nationalism, Dominant Ethnicity: Identity, Federalism and Democracy
ISBN: 9789052014876 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although nationalism and ethnicity have long been associated with minority populations, an emerging literature looks at how the state and/or a majority group interact with minorities, and how, behind the expression of the nation promoted by the state, there is often an ethnic core. This book contributes to this emerging literature on dominant nationalism and dominant ethnicity by presenting multidisciplinary contributions that center on how states deploy their own nationalism, and how the state s nation-building and nation-consolidating processes are very often spearheaded by a specific...

The Dynamics of Decentralization, 60: Canadian Federalism and British Devolution
ISBN: 9780889118959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Are political and socio-economic issues handled in a radically different manner in a federal Canada than a devolved Britain? To what extent in both states have administrative arrangements and developments in public policy begun to by-pass constitutional forms and debates? Are the real loci of power in each better identified by 'following the money' than by constitutional and legal provisions? If the arrangements between the state capitals and the constituent parts of Canada and Britain are becoming more ad hoc, individual and varied, what problems does this pose for the continuing cohesion of...

The ambition of the Scottish Government is to create a wealthier and fairer nation.

Plurinational Democracy: Stateless Nations in a Post-Sovereignty Era
ISBN: 9780199275342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Transnational integration and other challenges to the nation-state have deprived it of its mystique and broken the automatic link between state and nation. This has encouraged the revival of stateless nationalisms, but also provided new means for their accommodation. The author argues that these changes call for a radical rethinking of the nature of sovereignty and of the state itself to meet the twin challenges of recognition of nationality and of democracy. Drawing on the experience of four plurinational state - United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, and Canada - and of the European Union, he...

Les Régionalismes En Bretagne: La Région Et l'État (1950-2000)
ISBN: 9789052010953 / Francuski / Miękka / 2006 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Plus dynamique que jamais, le regionalisme en Bretagne invite a interroger les analyses actuelles sur la recomposition ascendante des territoires en Europe. Les mobilisations regionales contribuent en effet a institutionnaliser un ordre territorial propre face au retrait de l Etat et a l internationalisation des marches. Pourtant, leurs formes specifiques sont mal expliquees par les modeles d interpretation du neo-regionalisme ou du neo-localisme.
Pour evaluer en rigueur cette recomposition, cet ouvrage privilegie une analyse longitudinale des mecanismes d institutionnalisation dans... Plus dynamique que jamais, le regionalisme en Bretagne invite a interroger les analyses actuelles sur la recomposition ascendante des territoires en E...

Rescaling the European State: The Making of Territory and the Rise of the Meso
ISBN: 9780199691562 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Social scientists have regularly proclaimed the end of territory under successive waves of modernization, yet it continually re-emerges as a key principle of social, economic, and political organization. Rather than a de-territorialization we are witnessing a rescaling of social life as functional systems, identities, and political expression migrate to new levels. This is not new, but is a recurrent feature of the European state. States have sought to reassert control over these new spaces, while political and social movements have sought to politicize them and open them up to popular...

Devolution, Asymmetry and Europe: Multi-Level Governance in the United Kingdom
ISBN: 9789052013909 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The process of devolution in the United Kingdom (UK) established new institutions at the sub-state level with a range of legislative and executive competencies. Yet many of these devolved powers also have a European Union (EU) dimension, whilst EU policy remains a formally reserved power of the UK central government.
This book explores how this multi-level relationship has been managed in practice, examining the participation of the devolved Scottish and Welsh institutions in the domestic process of formulating the UK s EU policy positions during their first four-year term. It also... The process of devolution in the United Kingdom (UK) established new institutions at the sub-state level with a range of legislative and executive com...

Federalism and Second Chambers: Regional Representation in Parliamentary Federations: The Australian Senate and German Bundesrat Compared
ISBN: 9789052012117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 423 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The theory of comparative federalism asserts that federations require a second chamber for the representation of regional interests in central law-making. Yet there has been little systematic analysis of the contribution of second chambers in parliamentary federations to this task. The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate to what extent the two strongest parliamentary second chambers, the Australian Senate and the German Bundesrat are linked to the federal structures in which they are embedded. The study analyzes the contribution of the members of these second chambers in advancing...

Deceiving (Dis)Appearances: Analyzing Current Developments in European and North American Border Regions
ISBN: 9789052013695 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The impact of recent shifts in global geopolitics and economic markets has led to the re-conceptualization of national borders. Scholars have shifted their analysis away from the narrow idea of -borders-, and moved their attention towards the wider view of -borderlands-, -border regions-, and -border zones-, thus, leading to the conceptual re-definition of border politics. These recent approaches have identified border areas as socially constructed territories that demonstrate many of the characteristics of independent polities. Border communities seem to have come to life, creating a degree...

Scottish Social Democracy: Progressive Ideas for Public Policy
ISBN: 9789052010663 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Scotland is a country of strong progressive traditions and could be a model for a renewed social democracy. Devolution has given it a chance to show what a small self-governing nation, within a wider British and European Union, can do. Yet the authors of this volume are disappointed by the lack of policy innovation since 1999. In an effort to relaunch the debate, they offer a range of ideas for new thinking and new policies for Scotland of the twenty-first century.
Whether independent or devolved, Scotland faces the same challenge: how to harness the energies of the nation and to combine... Scotland is a country of strong progressive traditions and could be a model for a renewed social democracy. Devolution has given it a chance to show w...

The Crisis of Social Democracy in Europe
ISBN: 9780748665822 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Social democracy is in office almost nowhere in Europe and appears bereft of ideas in the face of the economic crisis that might have given it a historic opportunity. So is social democracy dead?
The contributors to this book take a stand against those who claim that social democracy has reached its end. By arguing that social democracy is not a single set of ideas or practices but a way of reconciling market capitalism with social inclusion and equality, they show that it has actually been remarkably successful during the 20th century. Its key principles are still relevant but must be...

Minority Nationalism and the Changing International Order
ISBN: 9780199242146 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Globalization and European integration are sometimes seen as the enemies of nationalism, imposing a single economic, cultural, and political order; but, by challenging the 'nation-state' as the sole basis for identity and sovereignty, they open the way for a variety of claims by stateless nations. This book considers these issues from a theoretical perspective, analyzing case studies of stateless nationalism in western, eastern, and central Europe, the former Soviet Union, even Quebec. It presents a variety of experiences to show that while there are no easy answers to conflicting national...
