State, Market and Social Regulation: New Perspectives on Italy
ISBN: 9780521354530 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recent scholarship on the role of the state in designing regulatory policies in industrialized democracies has identified a shift from the increasingly direct role of the state in the 1970s to a diminishing role in the 1980s. The question of the changing role of the state is particularly interesting in the Italian case, where direct state intervention has been extensive but also highly inefficient and susceptible to the pressures of private interests. The essays in this volume provide a systematic analysis of the contemporary means of regulation employed in a range of economic and social...

Continuity and Change in Contemporary Capitalism
ISBN: 9780521634960 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Capitalist democracies have always displayed considerable diversity in their key political and economic institutions, such as the organization of economic interest groups and private enterprises, the public sector and the welfare state, as well as political parties and social movements.

Legislative Politics in Latin America
ISBN: 9780521796590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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.

Federalism, Fiscal Authority, and Centralization in Latin America
ISBN: 9780521861632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the politics of fiscal authority, focusing on the centralization of taxation in Latin America during the twentieth century. The book studies this issue in great detail for the case of Mexico. The political (and fiscal) fragmentation associated with civil war at the beginning of the century was eventually transformed into a highly centralized regime. The analysis shows that fiscal centralization can best be studied as the consequence of a bargain struck between self-interested regional and national politicians. Fiscal centralization was more extreme in Mexico than in most...

The Transformation of European Social Democracy
ISBN: 9780521451062 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explains the contrasting strategies of social democratic parties and their electoral fortunes in the major European democracies in the 1970s and 1980s. Going beyond approaches that focus on the influence of class structures and political economic institutions, Herbert Kitschelt analyzes a party's competitive situation in the electoral arena, the constraints and opportunities of party organization, and ideological legacies to explain the strategic choices made by social democratic parties and their electoral results. Social democracy is far from being doomed to decline, but its...

Traditional Politics and Regime Change in Brazil
ISBN: 9780521032889 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is about politics in Brazil during the military regime of 1964-85 and the transition to democracy. Unlike most books about contemporary Brazilian politics that focus on promising signs of change, this book seeks to explain remarkable political continuity in the Brazilian political system. It attributes the persistence of traditional politics and the dominance of regionally-based, traditional political elites in particular to the manner in which the economic and political strategies of the military, together with the transition to democracy, reinforced the clientelistic,...

Democracy and Redistribution
ISBN: 9780521825603 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Employing analytical tools borrowed from game theory, Carles Boix offers a complete theory of political transitions. It is one in which political regimes ultimately depend on the nature of economic assets, their distribution among individuals, and the balance of power among different social groups. Backed by detailed historical research and extensive statistical analysis from the mid-nineteenth century, the study reveals why democracy emerged in classical Athens. It also covers the early triumph of democracy in nineteenth-century agrarian Norway, Switzerland and northeastern America as well...

Partisan Politics in the Global Economy
ISBN: 9780521441544 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book discusses the future of the nation-state in a world of global markets. Unlike most studies asserting that global markets dominate national politics, this book argues that countries still possess considerable autonomy over policy choices. Furthermore, citizens' demands for government protection from market forces (economic insecurity) are rising, while countries with strong trade union movements that can restrain the wage demands of workers (corporatism) are attractive to investors. As a result, there is still a viable leftist alternative to the free market in the global economy.

Global Capital and National Governments
ISBN: 9780521521628 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the degree to which international financial markets affect governments' policy choices. It provides empirical evidence as to whether financial globalization creates pressures on governments of developed and developing nations to pursue similar policies and to reduce spending on social policies. The book suggests that financial globalization does not lead to a "race to the bottom" among governments, especially in developed nations. It deploys several types of evidence; the most unique are interviews and surveys of investment fund managers. It also compares contemporary...

Race and Regionalism in the Politics of Taxation in Brazil and South Africa
ISBN: 9780521016988 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Evan Lieberman's analysis focuses on the politics of taxation as a way of understanding the development of governments. He compares Brazil and South Africa because of their similarities: They are upper-middle-income countries, and highly unequal--both in terms of income and racial status. Lieberman argues that different constitutional approaches to race (whether or not to grant equal citizenship to blacks) and federalism (whether to have it or not) shaped the organization of politics in the two countries, leading to the development of very different tax systems. The findings are based on...

Trust and Rule
ISBN: 9780521671354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Rightly fearing that unscrupulous rulers would break them up, seize their resources, or submit them to damaging forms of intervention, strong networks of trust such as kinship groups, clandestine religious sects, and trade diasporas have historically insulated themselves from political control by a variety of strategies. Drawing on a vast range of comparisons over time and space, Charles Tilly asks and answers how, and with what consequences, members of trust networks have evaded, compromised with, or even sought connections with political regimes.

Social Revolutions in the Modern World
ISBN: 9780521409384 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this collection of essays, Theda Skocpol, author of the award-winning States and Social Revolutions (CUP, 1979), updates her arguments about social revolutions. How are we to understand recent revolutionary upheavals in countries across the globe? Why have social revolutions happened in some countries, but not in others that seem similar? Skocpol shows how she and other scholars have used ideas about states and societies to identify the particular types of regimes that are susceptible to the growth of revolutionary movements and vulnerable to transfers of state power to revolutionary...
