Tides of Consent: How Public Opinion Shapes American Politics
ISBN: 9781107518919 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Politics is a trial in which those in government - and those who aspire to serve - make proposals, debate alternatives, and pass laws. Then the jury of public opinion decides. It likes the proposals or actions or it does not. It trusts the actors or it doesn't. It moves, always at the margin, and then those who benefit from the movement are declared winners. This book is about that public opinion response. Its most basic premise is that although public opinion rarely matters in a democracy, public opinion change is the exception. Public opinion rarely matters because the public rarely cares...

Narendra Modi rode the wave to walk into 7, Race Course Road, and became the second RSS pracharak (bachelor preacher) Prime Minister of India. Before him, Atal Bihari Vajpayee had flung open the office for the saffron outfit. Vajpayee firmed up the BJP as a reliable alternative at national politics. Yet he could not knock out the Congress. The RSS and Congress are existential foes of each other. Vajpayee over the years had become a centrist due to the uniqueness of his times. In contrast, Modi wears the RSS on his sleeves. In the 2014 verdict, Modi gave near mortal blows to the Congress. The...

Africa Through Structuration Theory - ntu
ISBN: 9789956762965 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite all the talk about African renaissance, much of the continent is plagued by poverty and instability. To break out of that cycle, the guardians of African heritage (the old independence freedom fighters turned political leaders and their successors) and much of Afrocentric literature rightly promote African ideas and solutions for African problems. While the idea in itself is noble, the danger is for Africa to close itself off and ignore 'outside' technical and intellectual innovations that it desperately needs to advance further. Africa through Structuration Theory - ntu joins the...

Political Corruption
ISBN: 9781783473045 / Angielski / Twarda / 840 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Political corruption is a problem as old as society itself. As a fixture of political science and related disciplines, however, it is new and rapidly-developing, having only received very modest coverage until the late 1990s. The recent shattering of the taboo surrounding the discussion of corruption, largely attributed to its re-definition as an economic problem, has resulted in a torrent of new material on the subject. The most important of this has been brought together in this interrogative and authoritative collection.
