Immigration and the Politics of Identity in the European Union addresses the challenges facing European states today with relation to both immigration and integration policy. Changes in the patterns of immigration over time as well as a fundamental shift in the function and formation of "identity" have left behind societies balancing somewhere between assimilation and multiculturalism. Both the EU and the individual Member States have struggled to create effective immigration and integration policies. The key difficulty in creating effective policy lies in finding the balance between the...

Parliament and Congress
ISBN: 9780199273621 / Angielski / Twarda / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Parliament and Congress describes and compares the constitutional background and procedures of these two legislative bodies. Currently unsolved problems often have much in common, in vexed areas such as ethics requirements or how procedural rules permit minorities fair access to legislative time before majorities prevail. British successes include the enhanced authority and effectiveness of select committees and the acquisition of more debating time by the creation of a parallel Chamber. Unsolved problems at Westminster begin with the powers and status of the Lords, and go on through the...

Importing Democracy: Ideas from Around the World to Reform and Revitalize American Politics and Government
ISBN: 9780313363375 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The United States has always taken pride in being a model of democracy. However, presidential systems are more closely associated with dictatorship and single-party rule in other parts of the world like Latin America and Africa. Indeed, democratic practices more often flourish in parliamentary systems, and the United States remains the only advanced, industrialized democracy with a presidential system instead of a parliamentary organization. Each of the 21 chapters in "Importing Democracy: Ideas from Around the World to Reform and Revitalize American Politics and Government" highlights...

Explicitly adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book investigates continuity and change in contemporary French politics, society and culture.

Drawing on contributions that reflect a variety of methodological approaches, ranging from theoretical speculations and modelling to the interpretation of fieldwork data, this study examines...

Enlargement of the European Union to Croatia and Montenegro
ISBN: 9783639244953 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The primary goal of this book is to advance understanding of the European integration of the former SFRJ republics, Croatia and Montenegro. This volume does not propose a new integration theory and it goes beyond the classic analysis of how policies are made in Brussels." Instead, it raises many questions about the eastern enlargement. What does Europeanization of the Balkan region really mean? Does the EU need the Balkans just the way it is? What do the main theories of constructivism and geopolitics have to say about the enlargement to the Western Balkans? What factors drive the enlargement...

This book looks at how China and India's growing interests in Central Asia disrupt the traditional Russia-U.S. 'Great Game' at the heart of the old continent.

Political Power and Women's Representation in Latin America
ISBN: 9780199731954 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The number of women elected to Latin American legislatures has grown significantly over the past thirty years. This increase in the number of women elected to national office is due, in large part, to gender-friendly electoral rules such as gender quotas and proportional electoral systems, and it has, in turn, fostered constituent support for representative democracy. Still, this book argues that women are gaining political voice and bringing women's issues to state agendas, but they are not gaining political power. Women are marginalized by the male majority in office and relegated to the...

Globalisation, Integration and the Future of European Welfare States
ISBN: 9780719081101 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that the welfare state cannot be understood purely as a set of social policy arrangements, but must be seen as a political institution, intended to achieve certain political objectives.
The political dimension of the welfare state is essential for understanding its initial emergence as well as assessing its ability to deal with contemporary challenges. Governments use welfare transfers to decrease the risk of political instability that may be politically disruptive and threaten to undermine social cohesion. The success of welfare institutions stems from their ability to...

Political Sociology of the Euro Union CB: Reassessing Constructivism
ISBN: 9780719082436 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of the European Union has historically been a theoretical battleground. Since the 1990s, new theoretical directions such as neo-institutionalism, multi-level governance and constructivism have provided a new impetus. However, despite these new inroads, empirical work has often remained sociologically and empirically underspecified.This volume seeks to bridge the gap between theory and fieldwork by developing an actor-centred political sociology. In doing so, the volume engages in a critical dialogue with the constructivist framework and proposes to build on its insights through a...

Russian Energy Aggression 2000-2008
ISBN: 9783639244649 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book seeks to explain what triggered cases of Russian energy aggression during Vladimir Putin's presidency, a period in which Russia greatly recovered from the difficult 1990s. This is accomplished through a comparative multiple case study of 13 cases of Russian energy aggression in seven former Soviet Union republics (Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova and Ukraine). The book addresses the research question through an analysis of three hypotheses. The hypotheses are concerned with whether economic interests, political considerations or interest in energy infrastructure...

Ordering Power: Contentious Politics and Authoritarian Leviathans in Southeast Asia
ISBN: 9780521190411 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like the postcolonial world more generally, Southeast Asia exhibits tremendous variation in state capacity and authoritarian durability. Ordering Power draws on theoretical insights dating back to Thomas Hobbes to develop a unified framework for explaining both of these political outcomes. States are especially strong and dictatorships especially durable when they have their origins in protection pacts: broad elite coalitions unified by shared support for heightened state power and tightened authoritarian controls as bulwarks against especially threatening and challenging types of contentious...

Immigration and Conflict in Europe
ISBN: 9780521199070 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary debates give the impression that the presence of immigrants necessarily spells strife. Yet as Immigration and Conflict in Europe shows, the incidence of conflict involving immigrants and their descendants has varied widely across groups, cities, and countries. The book presents a theory to account for this uneven pattern, explaining why we observe clashes between immigrants and natives in some locations but not in others and why some cities experience confrontations between immigrants and state actors while others are spared from such conflicts. The book addresses how economic...

Frontiers of the European Union
ISBN: 9780333804353 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on original research this book is a unique attempt at a general assessment of EU frontiers. Internal frontiers are losing some of their key functions but there are many responses to the new situation, as a case study of French frontiers abundantly illustrates. An examination of the EU external frontier shows that the EU is acquiring some state-like features, but the eastern frontier provides abundant evidence of the external frontier's complexity. The authors conclude that the increasing openness of national frontiers will continue, but their effective abolition, whether by European...

Liberal Rights and Political Culture: Envisioning Democracy in China
ISBN: 9780415882491 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study argues that the liberal concept of rights presupposes and is grounded in an individualistic culture or shared way of relating, and this particular shared way of relating emerged only in the wake of the Reformation in the modern West.
