Legalność i prawomocność
ISBN: 9788362858811 / Polski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. W tych rozważaniach nad konstytucją weimarską Carl Schmitt (1888–1985), najsłynniejszy w XX wieku – i najbardziej kontrowersyjny z racji epizodu nazistowskiego – niemiecki filozof prawa i konstytucjonalista, demaskuje w rzeczywistości organiczne niedomogi demokracji jako takiej. Krytyka jest przenikliwa i dla demokratów bolesna. System demokracji parlamentarnej ze swoim formalizmem „legalności” może rodzić nader niemiłe konsekwencje: wyklucza prawo do oporu, potrafi legalnie zdelegalizować wszelką mniejszościową opozycję i przegłosować najbardziej niedorzeczne...

A Theory of Public Opinion
ISBN: 9781412815017 / Angielski / Miękka / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces the emergence of the ideas and institutions that evolved to give people mastery over their own destiny through the force of public opinion. The Greek belief in citizen participation is shown as the ground upon which the idea of public opinion began and grew. For Wilson, public opinion is an "orderly force," contributing to social and political life. Wilson appraises the influence of modern psychology and the slow appearance of methodologies that would enable people not only to measure the opinions of others, but to mold them as well. He examines the relation of the theory of...

Argentina's Radical Party and Popular Mobilization, 1916-1930
ISBN: 9780271034058 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Democracy has always been an especially volatile form of government, and efforts to create it in places like Iraq need to take into account the historical conditions for its success and sustainability. In this book, Joel Horowitz examines its first appearance in a country that appeared to satisfy all the criteria that political development theorists of the 1950s and 1960s identified as crucial. This experiment lasted in Argentina from 1916 to 1930, when it ended in a military coup that left a troubled political legacy for decades to come. What explains the initial success but ultimate...

Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way Between West and East
ISBN: 9780745659749 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For decades, liberal democracy has been extolled as the best system of governance to have emerged out of the long experience of history. Today, such a confident assertion is far from self-evident. Democracy, in crisis across the West, must prove itself.
In the West today, the authors argue, we no longer live in "industrial democracies," but "consumer democracies" in which the governing ethos has ended up drowning households and governments in debt and resulted in paralyzing partisanship. In contrast, the long-term focus of the decisive and unified leadership of China is boldly moving its...

Decent Capitalism: A Blueprint for Reforming Our Economies
ISBN: 9780745331102 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The recent crisis, created by finance capitalism, has brought us to the economic abyss. The excessive freedom of international markets has rapidly transformed into international panic, with states struggling to rescue and bail out a globalised financial sector. Reform is promised by our leaders, but in governments dominated by financial interests there is little hope of meaningful change.
"Decent Capitalism" argues for a response that addresses capitalism s systemic tendency towards crisis, a tendency which is completely absent from the mainstream debate. The authors develop a concept of... The recent crisis, created by finance capitalism, has brought us to the economic abyss. The excessive freedom of international markets has rapidly tra...

Malice in Wonderland: The Bush Junta from 2000-Present
ISBN: 9781456724092 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When I sat down to write this book, it was not an attempt to create a renowned literary work, nor was it about money or profit. I had become deeply saddened and angered, to the verge of outrage, due to the venal actions of my (elected?) government. This book speaks to the lies, hypocrisy and nefarious activities of this Bush bastard and his "colleagues-in-crime." I have no political affiliation per se. This is not about "Right" or "Left"--in this book I speak to right and wrong! This man (now there's an oxymoron) and his cronies have come to us with God on their lips and blood on their hands....

Constitutive Visions: Indigeneity and Commonplaces of National Identity in Republican Ecuador
ISBN: 9780271061993 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Constitutive Visions, Christa Olson presents the rhetorical history of republican Ecuador as punctuated by repeated arguments over national identity. Those arguments--as they advanced theories of citizenship, popular sovereignty, and republican modernity--struggled to reconcile the presence of Ecuador's large indigenous population with the dominance of a white-mestizo minority. Even as indigenous people were excluded from civic life, images of them proliferated in speeches, periodicals, and artworks during Ecuador's long process of nation formation. Tracing how that...

The Globalization Paradox: Democracy and the Future of the World Economy
ISBN: 9780393341287 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik reminds us of the importance of the nation-state, arguing forcefully that when the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik's case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today's global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

Democratic Legitimacy
ISBN: 9780415896634 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a systematic treatment of the requirements of democratic legitimacy. It argues that democratic procedures are essential for political legitimacy because of the need to respect value pluralism and because of the learning process that democratic decision-making enables. It proposes a framework for distinguishing among the different ways in which the requirements of democratic legitimacy have been interpreted. Peter then uses this framework to identify and defend what appears as the most plausible conception of democratic legitimacy. According to this conception, democratic...

Stalled Democracy: Capital, Labor, and the Paradox of State-Sponsored Development
ISBN: 9780801477454 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this ambitious book, Eva Bellin examines the dynamics of democratization in late-developing countries where the process has stalled. Bellin focuses on the pivotal role of social forces and particularly the reluctance of capital and labor to champion democratic transition, contrary to the expectations of political economists versed in earlier transitions. Bellin argues that the special conditions of late development, most notably the political paradoxes created by state sponsorship, fatally limit class commitment to democracy. In many developing countries, she contends, those who are... In this ambitious book, Eva Bellin examines the dynamics of democratization in late-developing countries where the process has stalled.

Images of Voting/Visions of Democracy
ISBN: 9781412842921 / Angielski / Miękka / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When survey research, statistics, and electronic data processing were first introduced, they held out promise that a new level of political knowledge would be created. Applied to the study of voting behavior, survey research promised an understanding of the factors determining the outcome of an election, that political history could be based on rich and current data, and that we could begin to understand the role of elections in constitutional democracy. The truth as Peter B. Natchez shows, is that despite the opportunity provided by this revolution, voting studies have failed to make...

The Mystical as Political
ISBN: 9780268038960 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theosis, or the principle of divine-human communion, sparks the theological imagination of Orthodox Christians and has been historically important to questions of political theology. In The Mystical as Political: Democracy and Non-Radical Orthodoxy, Aristotle Papanikolaou argues that a political theology grounded in the principle of divine-human communion must be one that unequivocally endorses a political community that is democratic in a way that structures itself around the modern liberal principles of freedom of religion, the protection of human rights, and church-state separation....

Spanish Second Republic Revisited: From Democratic Hopes to Civil War (1931-1936)
ISBN: 9781845194598 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Spanish Civil War is one of the most studied events in modern European history. Its origins, that is to say the politics of the Second Republic (19311936), have been much debated. The republican period has been much idealized and in particular the myth of Spanish democracy beset by fascism, of which Franco was its leading figure, has been much cultivated. But was this really the case? Recently historians of the Republic have proposed a new and non-ideological perspective on the 1930s. Spains path was at once different yet in many ways similar to that of Europe during the interwar period....
