A central political figure in the first post-Revolutionary generation, Felix Grundy (1775--1840) epitomized the "American democrat" who so famously fascinated Alexis de Tocqueville.

In Democracy's Lawyer, the first comprehensive biography of Grundy since 1940, J. Roderick Heller reveals how Grundy's life typifies the archetypal, post--founding fathers generation that forged...

Parliaments and Citizens
ISBN: 9780415589697 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The relationship between parliaments and citizens is one of the least studied subjects in legislative studies, yet this is a crucial dimension to understand parliaments and the role they play in our political systems. Furthermore, this relationship has gained considerable visibility over the last decade thanks in part to the development of new media, but also as a reaction to the trends of political apathy.

Go the F**k Back to Work!
ISBN: 9780983775560 / Angielski / Twarda / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What to do about our do-nothing Congress? Sure, we've tried voting them out. We've tried indicting them. Nothing works them especially. Open mockery at least seems to get their attention, so maybe this collection of satirically motivational rhymes will prompt them to start doing what they campaigned so hard to get their jobs. Even if this book doesn't inspire Congress into action any more effectively than "Go the F**k to Sleep" got wide-awake children into slumberland, it will provide us frustrated citizens, like those bleary-eyed parents, a few laughs and make us feel just a little better...

Parliaments and Coalitions: The Role of Legislative Institutions in Multiparty Governance
ISBN: 9780199674787 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coalition governments are the norm in most of the world's parliamentary democracies. Because these governments are comprised of multiple political parties, they are subject to tensions that are largely absent under single-party government. The pressures of electoral competition and the necessity of delegating substantial authority to ministers affiliated with specific parties threaten the compromise agreements that are at the heart of coalition governance. The central argument of this book is that strong legislative institutions play a critical role in allowing parties to deal with these...

This book presents a wide range of perspectives on the role of national parliaments in EU politics and policy-making.

American Politicians Confront the Court: Opposition Politics and Changing Responses to Judicial Power
ISBN: 9780521153980 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Politicians have long questioned, or even been openly hostile to, the legitimacy of judicial authority, but that authority seems to have become more secure over time. What explains the recurrence of hostilities and yet the security of judicial power? Addressing this question anew, Stephen Engel points to the gradual acceptance of dissenting views of the Constitution, that is, the legitimacy and loyalty of stable opposition. Politicians' changing perception of the threat posed by opposition influenced how manipulations of judicial authority took shape. As politicians' views toward opposition...

Fighting for the Speakership: The House and the Rise of Party Government
ISBN: 9780691118123 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is the most powerful partisan figure in the contemporary U.S. Congress. How this came to be, and how the majority party in the House has made control of the speakership a routine matter, is far from straightforward. Fighting for the Speakership provides a comprehensive history of how Speakers have been elected in the U.S. House since 1789, arguing that the organizational politics of these elections were critical to the construction of mass political parties in America and laid the groundwork for the role they play in setting the agenda of...

Born into Louisiana's most influential political family, and son of perhaps the most famous Louisianan of all time, Long extended the political power generated by other members of his family and attained heights of power unknown to his predecessors, including his father, Huey. The Long family and its followers pervaded Louisiana politics from the late 1920s through the 1980s. Being a Long--especially a son of Huey Long--preordained Russell for a political life. His father's assassination set the... Russell Long (1918-2003) occupies a unique niche in twentieth-century United States history. Born into Louisiana's most influential political famil... |
