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 (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The majority of scholarly works on the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the establishment of its successor states focus almost exclusively on the national question. There is no major study of the subnational regional dimension, which had significant effects on the politics and political structures of these newly independent states.
This book addresses this deficit by examining the struggle of Istrian regionalists in the Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDS) against the nearly hegemonic nationalists of the Croatian ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Alliance (HDZ). Using a wide variety of... The majority of scholarly works on the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the establishment of its successor states focus almost exclusively on the nationa...

ISBN: 9781865084831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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 (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

ISBN: 9789052010953 / Francuski / Miękka / 2006 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

Plurinational Democracy: Stateless Nations in a Post-Sovereignty Era
ISBN: 9780199275342 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

Scottish Social Democracy: Progressive Ideas for Public Policy
ISBN: 9789052010663 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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.

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...

Devolution, Asymmetry and Europe: Multi-Level Governance in the United Kingdom

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

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 (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

ISBN: 9780199242146 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...
