ISBN: 9781783081226 / Angielski / Twarda / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Australia's constitutions tell only part of the story. They omit or barely mention many of the essential and well-known elements of the system of government, such as the cabinet, the prime minister or premier, ministerial responsibility or the opposition. The difference between what exists on paper and what occurs in practice arises from binding, yet unwritten constitutional rules or 'constitutional conventions'.

These changes spring not only from changes in Australia, but from Europe's expanding role in trade and politics. In this lively examination of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Australia has been a federation for more than a hundred years, and an independent country for more than seventy. But its system of government is still based on political compromises thrashed out in the late nineteenth century.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This edited volume is about the Australian difference and how Australia's economic and social policy has diverged from the approach of other countries.

Australia's distinctive bent is manifested in a tightly regulated labour market; a heavy reliance on means testing and income taxation; a geographical centralization of political power combined with its dispersal amongst autonomous authorities, and electoral singularities such as compulsory and preferential voting.
