The Shape of the New Europe
ISBN: 9780521841283 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Democratic Politics in the European Parliament
ISBN: 9780521872881 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the European Parliament comprising politicians from many different countries, cultures, languages, national parties and institutional backgrounds, one might expect politics in the Parliament to be highly-fragmented and unpredictable. By studying more than 12,000 recorded votes between 1979 and 2004 this 2007 book establishes that the opposite is in fact true: transnational parties in the European Parliament are highly cohesive and the classic 'left-right' dimension dominates voting behaviour. Furthermore, the cohesion of parties in the European Parliament has increased as the powers of...

The European Union is the oldest and most highly developed example of institutionalized regional integration.

The EU experience is a successful example of integrating national economies, but how far should those promoting regional...

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is in eclipse as the preeminent institution promoting international economic and financial stability.

Instead, it must be engaged with each of its members potentially on the full range of their economic and financial policies and play a central role in...

Legitimating the European Union: Aspirations, Inputs and Performance
ISBN: 9781403921086 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legitimating the European Union focuses on the notions of political legitimacy in the European Union. Since the early 1970s the EU has never been perceived to be as legitimate as it needed to be. Legitimizing factors, such as the elections to the European Parliament or increasing European Parliament powers have always lagged behind popular perceptions of what was needed at the time. Mather proposes that the EU suffers from a 'legitimacy deficit' and that this deficit matters (assuming the EU does not propose to be a dictatorship). The book links legitimacy theory to the way in which...

Kenya: The Struggle for Democracy
ISBN: 9781842778579 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The path towards democracy in Kenya has been long and often tortuous.

This uniquely comprehensive study of Kenya's political trajectory shows how the struggle for democracy has been waged in civil society, through opposition parties, and amongst traditionally marginalised groups like women and the young. It also considers the remaining impediments to democratisation, in the form of a powerful... The path towards democracy in Kenya has been long and often tortuous.
