Bicameralism
ISBN: 9780521589727 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book points out that the interaction between the chambers in bicameral legislatures is central to understanding behavior in each chamber, a point neglected in previous studies. It surveys bicameral institutions from numerous countries and presents models that explain the significance of different institutional arrangements. These hypotheses are illustrated and tested with data from the French Fifth Republic, and supplemented with data from Germany, Japan, Switzerland, the United States, and the European Union.

Institutions and Social Conflict
ISBN: 9780521421898 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many of the fundamental questions in social science entail an examination of the role played by social institutions. Why do we have so many social institutions? Why do they take one form in one society and quite different ones in others? In what ways do these institutions originally develop? And when and why do they change? Institutions and Social Conflict addresses these questions in two ways. First it offers a thorough critique of a wide range of theories of institutional change, from the classical accounts of Smith, Hume, Marx and Weber to the contemporary approaches of evolutionary...

Consent, Dissent, and Patriotism
ISBN: 9780521590556 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explains why citizens sometimes comply with and sometimes disobey the demands of democratic governments. It argues that citizens are more likely to comply and even give active consent when they perceive government as procedurally fair in both decisionmaking and implementation processes and when they believe other citizens are also doing their share. The author develops her argument by exploring over two hundred years of military service policies in six democratic countries.

Institutions and Ethnic Politics in Africa
ISBN: 9780521541794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Presenting a theory to explain how politics revolves around one axis of social cleavage instead of another, Daniel Posner examines Zambia, where people identify themselves either as members of one of the country's seventy-three tribes or as members of one of its four principal language groups. Drawing on a simple model of identity choice, Posner demonstrates that the answer depends on whether the country is operating under single-party or multi-party rule, thus revealing how formal institutional rules determine the social cleavages that matter.

Presidents, Parliaments, and Policy
ISBN: 9780521773041 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Advocates of parliamentary rule have been highly critical of presidentialism for dividing powers and providing the opportunity for gridlock between branches. Yet the great theorists of presidential rule saw in the same institutions a desirable combination of strong leadership with checks on executive discretion. These diverse assessments arise because we have surprisingly little comparative work on how presidential democracies function. The essays in this volume show, through case studies from Asia, Latin America, and Central Europe, how presidential democracies deal with the challenges of...

In this book the author examines the problems encountered in negotiations among claimants and the political and economic considerations that influence property rights arrangements. The histories of mineral rights, rights to range and timber land, and fishery and crude oil production rights in the United States are examined and reveal a surprising variety of contractual negotiations and economic outcomes.

Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance
ISBN: 9780521397346 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies, both at a given time and over time. Institutions exist, he argues, due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction. Yet, institutions vary widely in their consequences for economic performance; some economies develop institutions that produce growth and development, while others develop institutions that...

Partisan Politics, Divided Government, and the Economy
ISBN: 9780521436205 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores how the political process in the United States influences the economy and how economic conditions influence electoral results. It explains how the interaction between the President and Congress lead to the formulation of macroeconomic policy and how the American voters achieve moderation by balancing the two institutions. Fluctuations in economic growth are shown to depend on the results of elections and, conversely, electoral results to depend on the state of the economy. The final chapter of the book establishes striking similarities between the American political economy...

Individuals, Institutions, and Markets
ISBN: 9780521773584 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Individuals, Institutions, and Markets offers a theory of how the institutional framework of a society emerges and how markets within institutions work. The book shows that both social institutions, defined as the rules of the game, and exchange processes can be analyzed along a common theoretical structure. Mantzavinos' proposal is that a problem solving model of individual behavior inspired by the cognitive sciences provides such a unifying theoretical structure. Integrating the latest scholarship in economics, sociology, political science, law, and anthropology, Mantzavinos offers a...
