ISBN: 9781107011281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Seminal nineteenth-century thinkers predicted that religion would gradually fade in importance with the emergence of industrial society. The belief that religion was dying became the conventional wisdom in the social sciences during most of the twentieth century. The traditional secularization thesis needs updating, however, religion has not disappeared and is unlikely to do so. Nevertheless, the concept of secularization captures an important part of what is going on. This book develops a theory of existential security. It demonstrates that the publics of virtually all advanced industrial...

Electoral Change Since 1945
ISBN: 9780631167167 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This book explores the nature of electoral change in Britain during the last half century. The period from 1945-70 was the classic era of two-party dominance at every level of British politics: at Westminster, county hall, and in the electorate. Since the early seventies Conservative and Labour hegemony has remained virtually unaltered in Parliament, but their grip has been loosened in local government, and the popular foundations of the two-party system have been eroded among voters.
Why has Britain evolved from a dominant to a declining two-party system during the last fifty... This book explores the nature of electoral change in Britain during the last half century. The period from 1945-70 was the classic era of two-party do...

ISBN: 9781501713408 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The flaws in the American electoral process have become increasingly apparent in recent years.

To gather evidence about the quality of elections around the world, in 2012 the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) was established as an independent research project based at Harvard and Sydney universities. The results show that... The flaws in the American electoral process have become increasingly apparent in recent years. The contemporary tipping point in public awareness o... |

Radical Right: Voters and Parties in the Electoral Market
ISBN: 9780521613859 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The core puzzle which this book resolves is to explain why radical right parties have advanced in a diverse array of democracies--including Austria, Canada, Norway, France, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland, Israel, Romania, Russia, and Chile--while failing to make comparable gains in similar societies elsewhere, such as Sweden, Britain, and the United States. This book expands our understanding of support for radical right parties by presenting an integrated new theory which is then tested systematically using a wealth of cross-national survey evidence covering almost forty countries.

ISBN: 9780521811774 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

This book compares systematic evidence in nearly two hundred countries worldwide and suggests reasons for questioning assumptions of decline.
