Bush has brought the question of religion back into American political life in a way that it has not been for decades. From the 2000 election through the challenges America has faced in the wake of September 11, Bush's personal faith -- and his conviction about the importance of religion in our national life -- have won him lasting admiration from the right, while attracting fury and scorn from the left.

ISBN: 9780060859848 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Who will be president in 2008? Many believe that the White House is Hillary Clinton's to lose. As long-time strategists Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal in Condi vs. Hillary, however, Hillary's plans for higher office are vulnerable to a challenge from a most unexpected quarter: the Bush administration's secretary of state and former national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice. Rice is the only figure on the national scene who has the credentials, the credibility, and the charisma to lead the GOP in 2008. And, as this first book on the subject demonstrates, a race...

Democracy Derailed
ISBN: 9780156014106 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Now in paperback, how initiatives are remaking our democracy, creating a hazardous new arena of politics.
Where once most state laws were passed by legislatures, now voters in half the states and hundreds of cities decide directly on such explosive issues as drugs, affirmative action, casino gambling, assisted suicide, and human rights. Ostensibly driven by public opinion, the initiative process is far too often manipulated by moneyed interests, often funded by out-of-state millionaires pursuing their own agendas. In this highly controversial book, David Broder, the "dean of American... Now in paperback, how initiatives are remaking our democracy, creating a hazardous new arena of politics.

ISBN: 9780195044270 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Anyone wanting to make sense of an organization this vast needs an excellent guide.

Democracy and Elections
ISBN: 9780195044294 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book addresses the relationship between four values of democratic theory--popular sovereignty, liberalism, personal development, and community--and the electoral institutions used to implement them. After a chapter sketching the electoral institutions of Athens, the Roman Republic, the medieval church, and pre-reform Britain, the book examines what role elections are expected to play in a variety of democratic theories. The major theme of this section is that the four values are largely incompatible; therefore, different choices must be made between them. Part II addresses the empirical...

Navigating Public Opinion brings together leading scholars of American politics to assess and debate these questions.

The Militant Suffrage Movement : Citizenship and Resistance in Britain, 1860-1930
ISBN: 9780195159936 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The image of middle-class women chaining themselves to the rails of 10 Downing Street, smashing windows of public buildings, and going on hunger strikes in the cause of "votes for women" have become visually synonymous with the British suffragette movement over the past century. Their story has become a defining moment in feminist history, in effect separating women's fight for voting rights from contemporary issues in British political history and disconnecting their militancy from other forms of political activism in Britain in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Right Moment: Ronald Reagan's First Victory and the Decisive Turning Point in American Politics
ISBN: 9780195174076 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ronald Reagan's first great victory in the 1966 California governor's race is one of the pivotal stories of American political history, a victory that seemed to come from nowhere and has long since confounded his critics. Just four years earlier Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown was celebrated as the "Giant Killer" for his 1962 victory over Richard Nixon, and his liberal agenda reigned supreme. Yet in 1966 political neophyte Reagan trounced Brown by almost one million votes, marking not only the coming-of-age of Reagan's new conservatism but also the first serious blow to modern liberalism. Drawing...

How Congress Evolves : Social Bases of Institutional Change
ISBN: 9780195182965 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this greatly entertaining tale of one of our most august institutions, Nelson Polsby argues that among other things, from the 50's to the 90's, Congress evolved. In short, Polsby argues that air conditioning altered the demography of the southern states, which in turn changed the political parties of the South, which transformed the composition and in due course the performance of the US House of Representatives. This evolutionary process led to the House's liberalization and later to its transformation into an arena of sharp partisanship, visible among both Democrats and Republicans....

A New Engagement? : Political Participation, Civic Life, and the Changing American Citizen
ISBN: 9780195183177 / Angielski / Miękka / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In searching for answers as to why young people differ vastly from their parents and grandparents when it comes to turning out the vote, A New Engagement challenges the conventional wisdom that today's youth is plagued by a severe case of political apathy. In order to understand the current nature of citizen engagement, it is critical to separate political from civic engagement. Using the results from an original set of surveys and the authors' own primary research, they conclude that while older citizens participate by voting, young people engage by volunteering and being active in...

By-elections in constituencies such as Orpington, Bermondsey, and Govan generate headline news in England and raise fundamental questions concerning why third parties manage unexpected breakthroughs, and why the government consistently loses support through the "mid-term blues."

The last few decades has seen a prolonged debate over the nature and importance of social class as a basis for ideology, class voting and class politics.
