Multinational Democracies is the first collaborative, multi-perspective critical survey of a new and distinctive type of political association that is coming into prominence in the twenty-first century.

Nineteen leading comparative political scientists and political theorists from Europe and North America clarify the complex character and tensions of multinational democracies by reflecting on four exemplars--the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Canada. The work...

Overcoming Intolerance in South Africa: Experiments in Democratic Persuasion
ISBN: 9780521813907 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. James L. Gibson and Amanda Gouws investigate the degree to which the political culture of South Africa and the beliefs, values, and attitudes of ordinary people affect democratic reform. One set of values is of particular concern for their research: political tolerance. Gibson and Gouws contend that political tolerance is a crucial element of democratic political cultures in general. And it is perhaps more important than any other democratic value in polyglot South Africa.

ISBN: 9780521814386 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ajume H. Wingo argues that non-rational factors--rhetoric, symbols, and traditions--provide the actual source of motivation in the development and sustainability of the liberal democratic state. Drawing from historical and philosophical sources, Wingo demonstrates that these "veils" can play an essential role in a thriving, stable liberal democratic state.

ISBN: 9780521824613 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume offers an ambitious and comprehensive overview of the unprecedented advances as well as the setbacks in the post-1978 wave of democratization. It explains the sea change from a region dominated by authoritarian regimes to one in which openly authoritarian regimes are the rare exception, and analyzes why some countries have achieved striking gains in democratization while others have experienced erosions.

Democracy and Redistribution
ISBN: 9780521825603 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Employing analytical tools borrowed from game theory, Carles Boix offers a complete theory of political transitions. It is one in which political regimes ultimately depend on the nature of economic assets, their distribution among individuals, and the balance of power among different social groups. Backed by detailed historical research and extensive statistical analysis from the mid-nineteenth century, the study reveals why democracy emerged in classical Athens. It also covers the early triumph of democracy in nineteenth-century agrarian Norway, Switzerland and northeastern America as well...

Democracy
ISBN: 9780521877718 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Tilly's Democracy identifies the general processes causing democratization and de-democratization at a national level across the world over the last few hundred years. It singles out integration of trust networks into public politics, insulation of public politics from categorical inequality, and suppression of autonomous coercive power centers as crucial processes. Through analytic narratives and comparisons of multiple regimes, mostly since World War II, this book makes the case for recasting current theories of democracy, democratization, and de-democratization.

Democracy in America: The Complete and Unabridged Volumes I and II
ISBN: 9780553214642 / Angielski / Miękka (mass market paperbound / 976 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From America's call for a free press to its embrace of the capitalist system, Democracy in America--first published in 1835--enlightens, entertains, and endures as a brilliant study of our national government and character. Philosopher John Stuart Mill called it "among the most remarkable productions of our time." Woodrow Wilson wrote that de Tocqueville's ability to illuminate the actual workings of American democracy was "possibly without rival." For today's readers, de Tocqueville's concern about the effect of majority rule on the rights of individuals remains deeply meaningful....

Human Liberty and American Democracy: A Study in Economics, Politics, and Power
ISBN: 9780595318216 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are only two directions for a society to move, two choices, toward liberty or toward tyranny. Between a leveling democracy or a sanctified hierarchy dividing the people in two. Is a free society truly possible, or are its myths delusions, its policies shambles, and its alternative, Orwellian Control, the only game in town? What are the conditions of a free society? Are they achievable? The Myth of America affirms. The Reality, then and now, though, might bring many a smile to the face of dead British Kings.

Toward a Bioregional State: A Series of Letters About Political Theory and Formal Institutional Design in the Era of Sustainability
ISBN: 9780595346141 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Environmental sociologist Mark D. Whitaker is a comparative historical researcher on the politics of environmental degradation and sustainability. "Toward A Bioregional State" is his novel approach to development and to sustainability. He proposes that instead of sustainability being an issue of population scale, managerial economics, or technocratic planning, an overhaul of formal democratic institutions is required. This is because environmental degradation has more to do with the biased interactions of formal institutions and informal corruption. Because of corruption, we have...

Speak Softly and Carry A Big Stick: How Local TV Broadcasters Exert Political Power
ISBN: 9780595347049 / Angielski / Miękka / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first book length study of the Uganda Peoples' Congress ever. The book does for UPC and Uganda as a whole what no other book has done for both so far. It employs three sets of theories: the theory of national-democratic liberation; the theory of modes of production; and, the theory of social identities to analyse the Ugandan situation. Through the use of these theories it succeeds in unravelling issues which have remained unexplained so far. Such issues include why there have been a contradiction between Buganda, on the one side, and the rest of the... This is the first book length study of the Uganda Peoples' Congress ever.

The Writers and Politics
ISBN: 9780595354986 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a unique book. It is a book, like a door that opens itself for the citizens of the world to enter. Reading it is like reading an autobiography compiled and redacted by the citizens of the world. It is an eye-opener that veers into the lives of the past and present political players, as well as the lives of the past and present avant-garde writers.

It is a must-read for every heart that lives.

The Tao of Politics
ISBN: 9780595362219 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The "Tao Te Ching" is a 2000 year-old Chinese manuscript of wisdom and advice. Almost half the manuscript deals with politics, government and war. It therefore seems natural to seek guidance, in those pages, for how to think about any political landscape, and especially the American political scene. That's what Ed Bremson does in "The Tao of Politics." Using the "Tao Te Ching" as his starting-point and guide, he writes about politics from an Eastern perspective. He uses timeless ideas to cast light on modern problems. The result is a stimulating, thought-provoking book, at times irreverent,...

The Republican Peril: Dialectic for Democratizing Sovereignty
ISBN: 9780595436552 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book spotlights the dangers republics bring to world societies. Far from being models for their values extolled as freedom, individualism, and rule of the law, contemporary republics are demonstrated to be as many oligarchies dominating defenseless and unorganized people. Is freedom, just like rule of the law, a luxury or a public good that everyone can enjoy? Are individualized people more or less likely to participate in political activity? Who is actually exercising sovereignty when "people's representatives" preferably serve the interests of their corruptors? Well known,...
