Representative Democracy: Principles and Genealogy
ISBN: 9780226842790 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is usually held that representative government is not strictly democratic, since it does not allow the people themselves to directly make decisions. But here, taking as her guide Thomas Paine s subversive view that Athens, by representation, would have surpassed her own democracy, Nadia Urbinati challenges this accepted wisdom, arguing that political representation deserves to be regarded as a fully legitimate mode of democratic decision making and not just a pragmatic second choice when direct democracy is not possible.
As Urbinati shows, the idea that representation is incompatible... It is usually held that representative government is not strictly democratic, since it does not allow the people themselves to directly make decisions...

Referendums and Democratic Government: Normative Theory and the Analysis of Institutions
ISBN: 9780333761168 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Referendums and Democratic Government is the most systematic analysis of the referendum so far. The referendum phenomenon is approached from different perspectives: social choice theory, theories of democracy, a comparative study on 22 democracies, and in-depth case studies of Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. The referendum is not a unitary phenomenon but it serves various functions and different normative goals in the political systems studied. This variation may largely be explained by the differences in the initiating and agenda-setting procedures.

He offers...

In discussing Athenian... This history of Athenian democracy covers the period 403-322 BC, and focuses in particular on the crucial last thirty years which coincided with th... |

The Politics of Problem-Solving in Postwar Democracies
ISBN: 9780333646311 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Cross-national variations in the way political institutions work and can be conducive to political consensus and cooperative behaviour are - so it is argued and evidenced throughout the book - the key factors for successful...

ISBN: 9780333717677 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After a turbulent century characterized by vast bloodshed, but also by the spread of democratic government and humane values, the author suggests that the great democracies - led by Britain, France, Germany, Japan and the United States - should form an intercontinental community of democracies - a Pax Democratica according to the author. He argues that such a union will culminate centuries of evolution in world order: from empires to balance-of-power Realpolitik, more recently from cooperative international institutions to an era of supranational communities, composed of likeminded peoples...
