The State, Democracy and Globalization
ISBN: 9780333969113 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the extensive debate about the impact of globalization, democratization and new forms of governance, there have been surprisingly few attempts to provide an integrated account of the state in the contemporary world. Roger King and Gavin Kendall's text is designed to fill the gap and provide an accessible but informed introduction for students. It covers both the rise of the state and its increasing reach and interventionism in the 20th century and argues that its power and influence are in decline in the face of globalization and new forms of governance in the 21st century.

Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780415229852 / Angielski / Twarda / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe is an important survey of the complex relationships between urban politics and regional and national politics in Europe from 1500 to 1789.

Cities were frequently the scenes of sudden tensions or bitter conflicts between ordinary citizens and the urban elite, and the threat of civic unrest often underlay the political dynamics of early modern cities.
With vivid... Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe is an important survey of the complex relationships between urban politics and regional and national po...

Rural Governance: International Perspectives
ISBN: 9780415399593 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent decades have witnessed the transition from the government of rural areas towards processes of governance in which the boundaries between the state and civil society are blurred. As a result, governance is commonly linked to 'bottom-up' or community-based approaches to planning and development, which are said to 'empower' rural citizens and liberate them from the disabling structures of top-down government control. At the same time, however, a range of other actors beyond the local level have also become increasingly influential in determining the future of rural spaces, thereby...
