Remembering our Past: Studies in Autobiographical Memory
ISBN: 9780521461450 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The recent attempt to move research in cognitive psychology out of the laboratory makes autobiographical memory appealing, because naturalistic studies can be done while maintaining empirical rigor. Many practical problems fall into the category of autobiographical memory, such as eyewitness testimony, survey research, and clinical syndromes in which there are distortions of memory. This book's scope extends beyond psychology into law, medicine, sociology, and literature. Work on autobiographical memory has matured since David Rubin's Autobiographical Memory appeared in 1986, and the timing...

Legislative Politics in Latin America
ISBN: 9780521792196 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This theoretically inspired study explores legislative politics in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Instead of beginning with an assumption that these legislatures are either rubber-stamps or obstructionist bodies, the chapters provide new data and a fresh analytical approach to describe and explain the role of these representative bodies in these consolidating democracies. For each country the book provides three chapters dedicated, in turn, to executive-legislative relations, the legislatures' organizational structure, and the policy process.

Challenging the State: Crisis and Innovation in Latin America and Africa
ISBN: 9780521551069 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1980s and 1990s posed great challenges to governments in Latin America and Africa deeply affected by economic and political crises that weakened their ability to encourage economic development and provide for effective governance. Using case studies of Mexico and Kenya this book shows how a decade of deep and sustained crisis also became a decade of innovations in ideas, policy directions, political coalitions, and government institutions. Merilee Grindle argues that political leadership and structures of political power, while frequently part of the problem of underdevelopment, are also...

Post-Communist Party Systems: Competition, Representation, and Inter-Party Cooperation
ISBN: 9780521652889 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Post-Communist Party Systems examines democratic party competition in four postcommunist polities in the mid-1990s, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Legacies of precommunist rule turn out to play as much a role in accounting for differences as the institutional differences incorporated in the new democratic rules of the game. The book demonstrates various developments within the four countries with regard to different voter appeal of parties, patterns of voter representation, and dispositions to join other parties in legislative or executive alliances. The authors also...
