The Making of Regions in Post-Socialist Europe -- The Impact of Culture, Economic Structure and Institutions: Case Studies from Poland, Hungary, Roman
ISBN: 9783810038142 / Angielski / Miękka / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study combines the debate on regionalisation with transformation research. It regards the formation of regional actors and institutions not primarily from the perspective of formal organisational structures, but also a consequence of the macro-political transformation regime and region-specific opportunity structures. These structures include evonomic restrictions, historical legacies and cultural resources that are conveyed in present informal mechanisms, personal networks, discourses, and development strategies. The qualitative empirical approach offers a vivid picture of regional...

The Making of Regions in Post-Socialist Europe -- The Impact of Culture, Economic Structure and Institutions: Case Studies from Poland, Hungary, Roman
ISBN: 9783810038135 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 1 Research Idea: History and Regional Diversity Post-socialist societies in Europe can be assigned to three "historical regions" (Sziicz 1990) corresponding to their path of historical development. (1) The "East" was shaped by the patrimonial Muscovite state (Pipes 1977) and an estate agriculture with archaic structures at its base (Shanin 1985). The "westernisation" of Russia that began with Peter I exposed the country to western knowledge and education. However, the modernisation of state and society remained limited. The "rationalisation" of the state (Lotman 1997) systematised the...

Sexual Subordination and State Intervention: Comparing Sweden and the United States
ISBN: 9781571810724 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One would expect a welfare state such as Sweden to compare favorably with the United States regarding implementation of public policies and programs. Surprisingly, the author comes to quite different conclusions: in studying the treatment of battered, raped and sexually-harassed women in the two countries, she has found that, contrary to conventional expectation, the ability of the decentralized American state to innovate effectively has been consistently underestimated, whereas Sweden's ability to do the same has often been exaggerated.

State, Governance, and Environmental Sustainability
ISBN: 9783838314341 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Encompassing the complex and multidimensional nature of environmental sustainability, this research attempts to answer three questions: What determines the level of environmental sustainability in national level analyses? How can the quality of governance be defined, measured and applied in the dynamics of political processes? And, how does the quality of governance influence the level of environmental sustainability? A proposed cross- national design shows how environmental sustainability is determined by quality of governance, level of democracy, annual economic growth rate, global economic...

Identity Crisis in Turkey
ISBN: 9783838348339 / Angielski / Miękka / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since mid 1980s, Turkish politics has been suffering from the traumatic impact of a number of challenges, primarily centered on the Kurdish and Islamic perceptions of political subjectivity. In this book, Zafer F. Yoruk employs psychoanalytic and discourse analytic tools to present the contemporary polarisations in terms of a crisis of Turkish identity. This research probes through the sediments of the symptomatic scars of conventional perceptions of Turkishness to their constitutive traumas, which correspond to the moments of exclusion of a number of "Others." Yoruk concludes that this...

Ngos, the State and the Politics of Rural Development in Kenya
ISBN: 9783838374130 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the recent past, matters of development have taken center-stage in the development literature of developing states. In particular, there has tended to be a development paradigm shift from state-led development to non-governmental (NGO)based development. Boosted by neo-liberal thinking, the NGO sector, widely viewed as part of the market sector, is argued to be more efficient and effective in managing development. It is against the backdrop of this assumption that this study empirically examines the role of NGOs in the process of development in Kenya, with particular reference to Western...

Deutsche Opposition
ISBN: 9783838353951 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During 2002 and early 2003 the international debate over Iraq became a major topic throughout the world. The debate became contentious, splitting long standing allies between those who supported the military option against Iraq and those who did not. The United States was at the forefront of the military option movement, while Germany was the leader of the anti-war movement. In Germany massive protests against the war occurred weekly. Many Germans recalled their own history of war to justify their opposition to any military action against Iraq. To compound the issue even further was the fact...

Persistence of Authoritarianism in the Middle East
ISBN: 9783838342696 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this dissertation I have examined the persistence of authoritarianism in the Arab World. Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, and Yemen all embarked on substantial political reforms in the late 1980s. These political liberalization reforms coincided with a wave of democratization that swept over regimes in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Africa. However, in the mid-1990s most of the Arab states were able to revoke the bulk of their liberalization reforms, thus frustrating what many observers had viewed as a promising step towards democracy. Unlike other parts of the world, the...

The Governance of Good Governance Efforts
ISBN: 9783838397344 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What are the states in Sub-Saharan Africa actually able and willing to do for political development? This question lies at the heart of the theoretical puzzle in which prescriptions for the states in Sub- Saharan Africa contradict the common theoretical understanding of these states. This question and puzzle are addressed by looking at what the Kenyan state was able and willing to do towards holding free and fair elections in December 2007. Firstly, an assessment of the Kenyan states capacity for rule making, application, and adjudication shows that the empirical pattern of state...

Developmental Paradigms and Ldcs in the 1980s
ISBN: 9783838387017 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although modernization theory and dependency/ the world system theory have claimed an extensive generalizability for developmental studies, inconsistent findings and conclusions about the dynamics of economic development have emerged in the literature. These are, in part, due to the adoption of different theoretical assumptions and different foci of study, the use of different data sets for different parts of the world, and the use of different analytical techniques. The theoretical and methodological differences among these studies have hampered the development of a general theory of...

Radical Right Parties in Eastern Europe
ISBN: 9783838377759 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The far right is the most extensively studied political party family in academic literature. Yet for the past thirty years, attention has been almost exclusively focused on Western European radical right parties, which have been associated with post- industrial societal changes and exposure to increasing international competition. Far right parties in the west have thus been regarded to favor the free-market. Meanwhile, their eastern counterparts (wherever they existed) have been brushed aside as parties of the communist past - that is, mere offsprings of former communist elites in ...

TRCs and Traditional Methods of Reconciliation
ISBN: 9783838395975 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Democracies emerging from violent conflicts are often torn between whether priority should be given to bringing perpetrators of past violations to justice, or whether the focus should be on transitional justice measures designed to ensure political stability. This book thus examines the relationship between modern and traditional methods of reconciliation, based on field research done in Sierra Leone. It will specifically explore the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) - used here as an example of modern methods of reconciliation - and the "Fambul Tok" community healing and...

Kiswahili Chetu: The Swahili Language as a Political Stabilizer
ISBN: 9783838397153 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among sub-Saharan African countries, Tanzania is famous for both its Swahili language as well as its reputable political stability. However, Tanzania's neighbor to the north, Kenya, is also a Swahili-speaking country and yet Kenya is infamous (especially in recent years) for its political instability and ethno-political violence, as exemplified by the months of ethnically-motivated violence after the 2007 presidential elections. Kenya and Tanzania seem to be almost on opposite ends of the spectrum of political stability. This book explores why these two countries, with many similarities, end...

The analysis in this paper focuses on intra and inter-party electoral crisis/feud management in pluralistic polities of the world. While we specifically focused on the Nigerian political landscape we, where applicable, engaged in a synoptic juxta-positional analysis of the experiences of other pluralistic democracies notably the United States of America and India. The analysis choreographed the Nigerian nation's political dilemmas in the context of various developments within it right from the colonial period to date and identified what is considered relevant and necessary to be done to rid...

Readjusting Government
ISBN: 9783843371643 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the 1980s public sector reform has been a dominant and lasting theme in notably the OECD countries. 'Readjusting Government' is a comparative study of two recent Belgian and Dutch reform programs, respectively Copernicus and Andere Overheid (PAO). By adopting a similar case study approach this study aims to find lessons, best practices and recommendations to improve the working of administrative systems in modern day societies. To this end both case studies have been described and analysed in a structured manner, leading up to conclusions and recommendations to readjust government.

On the Limits and Possibilities of Environmental Governance
ISBN: 9783843370752 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work aims to analyze partnerships between communities and businesses in the Forestry sector in Brazil and the question to be answered is whether business-community partnerships can be considered a governance mode in the Brazilian context. While the theoretical framework for the analysis relies on recent political science literature on governance and policy implementation, the analytical framework is based on a neo-institutional approach to the interaction between the partners. The model of analysis identifies the main actors in the partnership and aims to analyze the fulfillment of...

Important or Impotent?
ISBN: 9783838353678 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Across Western Europe throughout the 1990s radical right political parties emerged and gained some electoral success. Since that time, particularly in the face of the popularity of the National Front in France and the Freedom Party in Austria, many studies have been conducted examining the voting behavior, party membership and ideologies of these parties, and what the parties mean to democratic governments. Largely unexamined are the effects of radical right political parties on public policy. This study attempts to evaluate the effect of radical right parties on public policy by using a most...
