Evolutionary Games and Equilibrium Selection
ISBN: 9780262692199 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Evolutionary game theory is one of the most active and rapidly growing areas of research in economics. Unlike traditional game theory models, which assume that all players are fully rational and have complete knowledge of details of the game, evolutionary models assume that people choose their strategies through a trial-and-error learning process in which they gradually discover that some strategies work better than others. In games that are repeated many times, low-payoff strategies tend to be weeded out, and an equilibrium may emerge.Larry Samuelson has been one of the main contributors...

Modernism, Nationalism, and the Novel
ISBN: 9780521661119 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Modernism, Nationalism, and the Novel, Pericles Lewis shows how political debates on national identity inspired radical experiments with narrative form among modernist writers. He suggests that far from abandoning the political concerns of nineteenth-century realism, modernists used the emphasis on individual consciousness to explore ways in which the modern nation-state shapes the psyches of its subjects. Tracing this theme through Joyce, Proust, and Conrad, among others, Lewis claims that modern novelists gave life to a whole generation of narrators who forged new social realities in...

Virtue Transformed: Political Argument in England, 1688–1740
ISBN: 9780521375283 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book offers a detailed study of political argument in early eighteenth-century England, a time in which the politics of virtue were vigorously pursued - and just as vigorously challenged. In tracing the emergence of a privately orientated conception of civic virtue from the period's public discourse, this book not only challenges the received notions of the fortunes of virtue in the early modern era but provides a promising critical perspective on the question of what sort of politics of virtue is possible or desirable today.

Structuring Conflict in the Arab World: Incumbents, Opponents, and Institutions
ISBN: 9780521838184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines how ruling elites manage and manipulate their political opposition in the Middle East. In contrast to discussions of government-opposition relations that focus on how rulers either punish or co-opt opponents, this book focuses on the effect of institutional rules governing the opposition. It argues rules determining who is and is not allowed to participate in the formal political arena affect not only the relationships between opponents and the state, but also between various opposition groups. This affects the dynamics of opposition during prolonged economic crises. It...

The Invention of Evening: Perception and Time in Romantic Poetry
ISBN: 9780521863827 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Lyric poetry has long been considered an art form of timelessness, but Romantic poets became fascinated by one time above all others: evening, the threshold between day and night. Christopher R. Miller investigates the cultural background of this development. The tradition of evening poetry runs from the idyllic settings of Virgil to the urban twilights of T. S. Eliot, and flourished in the works of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats. In fresh readings of familiar Romantic poems, Miller shows how evening settings enabled poets to represent the passage of time and to associate it with...

Ireland from Independence to Occupation, 1641–1660
ISBN: 9780521434799 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Between 1641 and 1649, for the first time before 1922, Ireland was recognized by the international community as an independent nation. Even though the Cromwellian conquest of 1649 made short work of Catholic Ireland's revolution, it nevertheless ranks as one of the most successful revolts of early modern history. This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines how the tumultuous events of the 1640s and 1650s transformed the course of Ireland's intellectual, social, economic, military, tenurial and, of course, political history. The essays also seek to set Ireland in its wider European...

Where do political identities come from, how do they change over time, and what is their impact on political life? This book explores these and related questions in a globalizing world where the nation state is being transformed, definitions of citizenship are evolving in unprecedented ways, and people's interests and identities are taking on new local, regional, transnational, cosmopolitan, and even imperial configurations.

Deregulatory Takings and the Regulatory Contract: The Competitive Transformation of Network Industries in the United States
ISBN: 9780521591591 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book addresses deregulatory policies that threaten to reduce or destroy the value of private property in network industries without any accompanying payment of just compensation, policies that are termed "deregulatory takings." The authors further consider the problem of renegotiation of the regulatory contract, which changes the terms and conditions of operation of utility companies. They argue that constitutional protections of private property from takings, as well as efficient remedies for contractual breach, provide the proper foundation for the competitive transformation of the...

The Postmodern Bible
ISBN: 9780300068184 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The burgeoning use of modern literary theory and cultural criticism in recent biblical studies has led to stimulating-but often bewildering-new readings of the Bible.

ISBN: 9780521790321 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is economic development conducive to political democracy? Does democracy foster or hinder material welfare? These two questions are examined by looking at the experiences of 135 countries between 1950 and 1990. Descriptive information, statistical analyses, and historical narratives are interwoven to gain an understanding of the dynamic of political regimes and their impact on economic development. The often surprising findings dispel any notion of a tradeoff between democracy and development. Economic development does not generate democracies, but democracies are much more likely to survive...

Social Performance: Symbolic Action, Cultural Pragmatics, and Ritual
ISBN: 9780521674621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Taking a "cultural pragmatic" approach to meaning, the contributors suggest a new way of looking at the continuum that stretches between ritual and strategic action. They do so by developing, for the first time, a model of "social performance." This volume offers the first systematic and analytical framework that transforms the metaphor into a social theory and applies it to a series of facinating large-scale social and cultural processes--from September 11 and the Clinton/Lewinsky Affair, to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Willy Brandt's famous "kneefall" before the...
