The Political Economy of the Egyptian Revolution: Mubarak, Economic Reforms and Failed Hegemony
ISBN: 9781137395917 / Angielski / Twarda / 139 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book seeks to move away from the discussions of whether the Security Council -in its current composition and working methods-is representative, capable, or productive - as such issues are already extensively debated in...

Corinna Wolff offers a consistent framework to assess participation from the perspective of democratic legitimacy, conceptualising it as functional representation. She reviews recent theories of representation, develops them into a tool to deal with...
