The Point of No Return: Refugees, Rights, and Repatriation
ISBN: 9780199673315 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past twenty years, over 25 million refugees have returned 'home'. These refugee repatriations are considered by the international community to be the only real means of solving mass refugee crises. Yet despite the importance placed on repatriation--both in principle and practice--there has been very little exploration of the political controversies that have framed refugee return. Several questions remain unresolved: do refugees have a right to refuse return? How can you remake citizenship after exile? Is 'home' a place or a community? How should the liberal principles be balanced...

Policy Making in Multilevel Systems: Federalism, Decentralisation, and Performance in the OECD Countries
ISBN: 9781907301339 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does the territorial state organisation matter for effective policy making, and if so, in what way? So far, we know relatively little about its effects on policy making and policy outputs. Starting from the hypothesis that decentralised policy making has positive effects whereas federalism has a slightly negative impact on policy performance, this book systematically tests the independent and interdependent effects of different combinations of federal/unitary and decentralised/centralised structures of decision making and implementation. Based on a mixed methods design it first quantitatively...

Seats, Votes, and the Spatial Organisation of Elections
ISBN: 9781907301353 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In many elections - especially those using single-member constituency systems - the allocation of seats is incommensurate with each party's share of the votes cast. Seats, Votes and the Spatial Organisation of Elections provides a convincing, rigorous analysis of this disproportionality which has not been improved on since its publication over 30 years ago. Its formal analysis, illustrated by empirical examples from a range of countries, stresses the importance of three geographies as key influences on how votes are translated into seats: the geography of partisan support (where people with...

How democratic was it?
ISBN: 9783639377095 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Changes in the political landscape in South America over the past decade have signaled that there has been a significant shift in popular support for leaders that espouse policies of redistribution and increasing independence from World Bank or IMF mandated policies. It has become accepted to view these various electoral changes as a continent-wide move to the left, tinged with elements of populism that have circumvented democratic institutions. But was there really a move to the left rather than a continuation of successful populist campaigns? What factors might help explain the...

Europeanisation of Turkish Regional Policy-Making?
ISBN: 9783639380095 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Borders and Margins: Federalism, Devolution and Multi-Level Governance
ISBN: 9783847420255 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theory and concept of multi-level governance is a fairly recent one, emerging with the deepening integration of the European Union in the early 1990s and the development of free trade agreements around the world. Multi-level governance expands on traditional approaches, such as neo-institutionalism and multinational federalism, by offering a better understanding of the role of the state, regions, and provinces. In this book, Guy Lachapelle and Pablo Onate analyze the changes that have taken place as well as those that might take place in the future in the many levels of governance.

The State of Nature in Comparative Political Thought: Western and Non-Western Perspectives
ISBN: 9780739167632 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses a fundamental concept in political thought--the "state of nature"--through a comparative and cross-cultural approach. Western social contract thinking usually falls along lines identified with scholars like Hobbes or Rousseau, with accordant debate over whether humans are good, bad, or just selfish; conflict prone or cooperative; egocentric or altruistic; with subordinate discussions about the proper limits of sovereign authority. Depending on how one views the "natural" condition of human beings and the communities which they build, various questions arise. What...

Tax Evasion and the Rule of Law in Latin America: The Political Culture of Cheating and Compliance in Argentina and Chile
ISBN: 9780271035635 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few tasks are as crucial for the future of democracy in Latin America--and, indeed, in other underdeveloped areas of the world--as strengthening the rule of law and reforming the system of taxation. In this book, Marcelo Bergman shows how success in getting citizens to pay their taxes is related intimately to the social norms that undergird the rule of law. The threat of legal sanctions is itself insufficient to motivate compliance, he argues. That kind of deterrence works best when citizens already have other reasons to want to comply, based on their beliefs about what is fair and...

Europe as an Imagined Community?
ISBN: 9783838306971 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In December 2007, the Estonian government ordered a bronze statue of a Soviet soldier moved in a Tallinn square to a more obscure location. The statue, which was erected in 1947, was regarded by ethnic Estonians as a symbol of Soviet occupation and had become an icon of "old space." It was perceived to be a symbol of an earlier imperialistic and colonial Soviet occupying force. At the same time, the large ethnic-Russian population in Estonia perceived it as a symbol of liberation from the Nazis and the Russian parliament responded by denouncing the move. The statue, like a newspaper or...

Electoral Revolutions and Their Socioeconomic Impact
ISBN: 9783838307732 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work sets out to unravel the effects of electoral revolutions which swept across the post-communist region, scrutinizing their impact on socio-economic consolidation. An extensive empirical comparison using qualitative case study is undertaken for two early cases of electoral breakthroughs, Bulgaria and Slovakia. The work investigates in which of three dimensions - political, economic and social - was the contribution of the pivotal elections most crucial. The book argues that while the pivotal elections were clearly a success in a narrow understanding of de-powering illiberal...

Europeanization and Centre-Local Relations
ISBN: 9783838369648 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book analyzes the impact of the EU accession process over the central and local levels of administration in Turkey from an institutionalist framework. The analytical tools of historical and sociological institutionalism are utilized in order to analyze whether Europeanization leads to devolution and the city of Kayseri constitutes the case through which the EU impact at the local level is determined. The main point of the book is that although the EU accession process has created a demand at the local level in terms of changing the power relations with the centre, no institutional change...

Democracy in Europe's Regions
ISBN: 9783838303352 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Decentralization of power to the regional level has been a trend across Europe over the past several decades. This transfer of political and administrative competencies is motivated by a multitude of often contradictory goals, but is most frequently presented as a means of bringing government "closer to the people" and thus enhancing democracy. This book examines the quality of regional democracy in Europe by evaluating how effectively elections let people control the actions of regional governments. It states that when the re-election probabilities of incumbents are about even -- that is,...

Local Government Matters
ISBN: 9783838310459 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today many African states are formal democracies (in the sense of having governments that are the result of formal elections) but they are not liberal democracies (in the sense of protecting civil liberties and permitting an unhindered alteration of power). They are rather what Fareed Zakaria has termed illiberal democracies. This study explores the impediments to the development of liberal democracy in one such case: Zambia. Following a review of Zambias pre-independence history and the failure of post-independence decentralization efforts, the study reviews Zambias recent government...
