Plurinational Democracy: Stateless Nations in a Post-Sovereignty Era
ISBN: 9780199240760 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 216 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...
