Sacred and Secular
ISBN: 9781107011281 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Democratic Phoenix: Reinventing Political Activism
ISBN: 9780521811774 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom suggests that citizens in many countries have become disengaged from traditional political participation. Commentators highlight warning signs of sagging electoral turnout, rising anti-party sentiment, and the decay of civic organizations. But are these concerns justified? This book compares systematic evidence in nearly two hundred countries worldwide and suggests reasons for questioning assumptions of decline. Not only is the obituary for older forms of political activism premature, but new forms of modern civic engagement may be emerging.

ISBN: 9780521849142 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

Pippa Norris and Joni Lovenduski ask why some politicians succeed in moving into the highest offices of state, while others fail. They examine the relative dearth of women, black and working class Members of Parliament, and whether this evident social bias matters for political representation.

By-elections in constituencies such as Orpington, Bermondsey, and Govan generate headline news in England and raise fundamental questions concerning why third parties manage unexpected breakthroughs, and why the government consistently loses support through the "mid-term blues." The first systematic study of British by-elections, this book addresses these questions through an analysis of postwar trends in party support. The first section addresses changes in campaigns, contrasting the stable by-elections of the postwar decade with the more volatile races characteristic of today. The second...

ISBN: 9781107016996 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book focuses on three core questions. Is democratic governance good for economic prosperity? Has this type of regime accelerated progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals, social welfare, and human development? Does it generate a peace-dividend and reduce conflict at home? Despite the importance of understanding these questions and the vast research literature generated, remarkably little consensus has emerged about any of these issues. Within the international community, democracy and governance are widely advocated as intrinsically desirable and important goals....

ISBN: 9780821382004 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What are the ideal roles the mass media should play as an institution to strengthen democratic governance and thus bolster human development?

Why American Elections Are Flawed (and How to Fix Them)
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. The contemporary tipping point in public awareness occurred during the 2000 election count, and concern deepened due to several major problems observed in the 2016 campaign, worsening party polarization, and corroding public trust in the legitimacy of the outcome. 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... |

ISBN: 9781107052840 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Unfortunately too often elections around the globe are deeply flawed or even fail. What triggers these problems? In this second volume of her trilogy on electoral integrity, Pippa Norris compares structural, international, and institutional accounts as alternative perspectives to explain why elections fail to meet international standards. The book argues that rules preventing political actors from manipulating electoral governance are needed to secure integrity, although at the same time officials also need sufficient resources and capacities to manage elections effectively. Drawing on new...

Framing Terrorism argues that the headlines matter as much as the act, in political terms.

ISBN: 9780521127448 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many fear that democracies are suffering from a legitimacy crisis. This book focuses on democratic deficits, reflecting how far the perceived democratic performance of any state diverges from public expectations.

The book diagnoses the reasons behind the democratic deficit, including demand (rising public aspirations for democracy),...

Electoral Change Since 1945
ISBN: 9780631167150 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...
