The New Electoral Politics of Race
ISBN: 9780817311490 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historically, race has always been at the heart of American politics, and southern politics more specifically.

The election of George Wallace as governor of Alabama in 1962 underscored the electoral power of ruthless racial rhetoric, not only in Alabama, but throughout the South and the entire country. Almost 40 years later, segregation is no longer legal, tensions between blacks and whites have lessened, and the influx...

In addressing this simple question, Andre Blais examines the factors that increase or decrease turnout at the aggregate, cross-national level and considers what affects people s decision to vote or to abstain.

Absentee and Early Voting
ISBN: 9780844742472 / Angielski / Miękka / 105 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Americans once gathered on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to pick the nation's leaders.

In 1980, only one in twenty...
