This book examines the nature of Supreme Court power by identifying conditions under which the Court is...

ISBN: 9781107026933 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An extraordinary outbreak of xenophobic violence in May 2008 shocked South Africa, but hostility toward newcomers has a long history. Democratization has channeled such discontent into a non-racial nationalism that specifically targets foreign Africans as a threat to prosperity. Finding suitable governmental and societal responses requires a better understanding of the complex legacies of segregation that underpin current immigration policies and practices. Unfortunately, conventional wisdoms of path dependency promote excessive fatalism and ignore how much South Africa is a typical settler...

governance is not a new concept. The place management debate reflects many of the more durable themes in the evolution of public management and public policy. One of the new dimensions of the debate is the extent to which place management can deliver a social capital effect. If it can, its value as a major shift in public governance will increase dramatically. The study situates place management in a spectrum of possibilities. To the extent that place management transcends an instrumental definition to challenge the underlying system... Place management as a framework for public

Election Timing
ISBN: 9780521108317 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most parliamentary systems have endogenous election timing, where the Prime Minister is free to call for elections when he or she thinks it's appropriate to do so. Despite the huge advantage one might expect this opportunity creates, Prime Ministers still lose frequently. Alastair Smith proposes an informational theory that relates the time when leaders call for elections to the consequences of their decisions. Smith demonstrates why leaders find it difficult to profit from their ability to call for elections, even when they are popular and face weak opposition.

institutional instability resulting from the intense political competition among the countrys several ethnic and regional groups. Many analysts see the political history of post-colonial Nigeria as a history of political instability. It seems justified to characterize Nigeria as unstable considering the seemingly clear evidence of political discontinuities in the country. However, there is a deep structure of political continuity that exists in the country, one which challenges the discontinuity perspective. This structural continuity manifests...

European Identity
ISBN: 9780521883016 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why are hopes fading for a single European identity? Economic integration has advanced faster and further than predicted, yet the European sense of 'who we are' is fragmenting. Exploiting decades of permissive consensus, Europe's elites designed and completed the single market, the euro, the Schengen passport-free zone, and, most recently, crafted an extraordinarily successful policy of enlargement. At the same time, these attempts to de-politicize politics, to create Europe by stealth, have produced a political backlash. This ambitious survey of identity in Europe captures the experiences of...
