The Myth of Civil Society: Social Capital and Democratic Consolidation in Spain and Brazil
ISBN: 9781403962263 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It argues that it is the performance of political institutions rather than the configuration of civil society that...

Direct Democracy in Switzerland
ISBN: 9781412805056 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Only one country in the world-Switzerland-is a direct democracy, in which, to an extent, the people pass their own laws, judge the constitutionality of statutes, and even have written, in effect, their own constitution. In this propitious volume, Gregory Fossedal reports on the politics and social fabric of what James Bryce has called "the nation that has taken the democratic idea to its furthest extent." The lessons Fossedal presents, at a time of dissatisfaction with the role of money and privileged elites in many Western democracies, are at once timely and urgent.

Such debates have originated in response to growing demands for...
